Do cell phones pop corn and fry your brain?

By Mary Mucci

Note to My Viewers:

I think the popcorn video on You Tube is a hoax.  But I hope it makes people think about the risks of cell phones.

You see, I can’t use a cell phone for more than 30 seconds without my ear getting very warm and throbbing. It scares me. So I’m constantly asking people to call me back on my home corded phone. {Cordless house phones are said to pose a similar danger.} In my car I use a speaker and when I know I have to make a call, I bring along a headset. Now I know about an air tube head set that is far more protective. It’s being sold on www.mercola.com.

Do I think cell phones are dangerous. Yes, but they are so helpful {as well as so annoying } that I can’t imagine living without one. Although all you have to do is watch a few videos on this website   www.emfhealthsolutions.com/index.htm  and you’ll be wondering if we should go back to calling each other with conch shells.

Patti Wood of Grassroots Environmental Education at [email protected] says we should be especially careful with children. The science I’ve seen bears that out. The younger they are the more vulnerable they are. 

Take care,

Ten Precautions:

These measures are also important for people who are already suffering from cancer and who

must avoid any external influence that may contribute to disease progression.

1. Do not allow children under 12 years of age to use a mobile phone except in

emergencies. The developing organs (of a fetus or child) are the most sensitive to any

possible effects of exposure to electromagnetic fields.

2. While communicating using your mobile phone, try to keep the mobile phone away

from the body. (The amplitude of the electromagnetic field is four times lower at a

distance of 10 cm (4 inches), and fifty times lower at 1m (3 feet)– see figure 2)

Whenever possible, use the speaker-phone mode, or a hands-free kit equipped with

an air tube in the last 20 centimeters, which seems to transmit fewer electromagnetic

waves than a traditional hands-free kit, or a wireless Bluetooth headset, (less than

1/100th of the electromagnetic emission of a normal phone.)

3. As much as possible, stand away from a person using their mobile phone, and

avoid using your mobile phone in places like the subway, the train or the bus where

you can passively expose your neighbors to your phone’s magnetic fields.

4. Avoid carrying your mobile phone with you, even when turned off (on standby). Do

not keep it near your body at night (under the pillow or on the bedside table)

particularly if pregnant. You can also put it on “flight” or “off-line” mode, which

stops electromagnetic emissions.

5. If you must carry your mobile phone on you, make sure that the face (key pad) is

positioned toward your body and the back (antenna side - stronger magnetic field) is

positioned toward the outside.

6. Only use your mobile phone to establish contact or for conversations lasting only a

few minutes (biological effects are directly related to the duration of exposure). It is

best to call back from a land line with a cord (not from a cordless phone, which uses

microwave technology similar to that of mobile phones).

7. Switch sides regularly and, before putting your mobile phone to the ear, wait until

your correspondent has picked up (which limits the power of the electromagnetic

field emitted).

8. Avoid using your mobile phone when the signal is weak or when moving at high

speed, as in a car or train (this automatically increases power to a maximum as the

phone repeatedly attempts to connect to a new relay antenna).

9. When possible, communicate via text messaging rather than making a call (thus

limiting the duration of exposure and the proximity to the body).

10. Choose a device with the lowest SAR possible (SAR = Specific Absorption Rate,

which measures the strength of the magnetic field absorbed by the body). SAR

rankings of contemporary phones by different manufacturers are available on several

websites. { Search for SAR rankings by typing sar ratings mobile phones in a search engine.}
