Cell phone radiation may cause brain tumour

Cell phone radiation may cause brain tumour

ISLAMABAD: Cell phone use in Pakistan has grown amid potential health risks, including cancer, through radiofrequency (RF) energy emissions from cell phones. Up till now most studies have focused on whether RF energy can cause malignant brain tumors. The experts are of the opinion that cell phone users are exposed to RF energy, a non-ionising form of radiation, emitted by the cell phones and there is concern about the health implications due to widespread cell phone use. “The experiments investigating the effects of RF exposure characteristics of cell phones on animals have suggested low levels of RF could accelerate the development of cancer. However, many of the studies showing increased tumor development were using animals that had been genetically engineered or treated with cancer-inducing chemicals so as to be pre-disposed to develop cancer in the presence of RF exposure,” said Dr Masood Ahmad, an expert. He said the studies investigated any possible association between the use of wireless phones and primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other cancers. “However, none of the studies can answer questions about long-term exposures, since the average period of phone use in these studies was around three years,” he added. app

Beware, exorbitant cell phone use may cause brain tumor

Beware, exorbitant cell phone use may cause brain tumor

Though the cell phone phobia is taking over the youth and over 91.4 million Pakistanis use cell phones today, experts are of the opinion that the cell phones emit Radiofrequency (RF) energy which may increase the risk of cancer for cell phone users.



To date, many of the studies have focused on whether RF energy can cause malignant or benign brain tumors. The experts opine that the cell phone users are exposed to the radiofrequency (RF) energy, a non-ionizing form of radiation, emitted by the cell phones and due to the widespread use of this technology, there is understandable concern about the health implications of cell phone use.

“The animal experiments investigating the effects of Radiofrequency energy (RF) exposures characteristic of wireless/cell phones have suggested that low levels of RF could accelerate the development of cancer in laboratory animals. However, many of the studies that showed increased tumor development used animals that had been genetically engineered or treated with cancer-causing chemicals so as to be pre-disposed to develop cancer in the presence of RF exposure,” said Dr. Masood Ahmad, an expert, while talking.

He said the studies investigated any possible association between the use of wireless phones and primary brain cancer, glioma, meningioma, or acoustic neuroma, tumors of the brain or salivary gland, leukemia, or other cancers.

“Though some studies demonstrated the existence of harmful health effects from wireless phone RF exposures. However, none of the studies can answer questions about long-term exposures, since the average period of phone use in these studies was around three years,” he added.

A “Cell Phone Facts” document for consumers developed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) reviews the research on cell phones that has been completed to date.

The document recommend additional research and noted the challenges of completing the laboratory and epidemiological studies that might offer conclusive data on risks of cell phones.

The agencies note that animal studies investigating cell phone use would need to be very large to offer meaningful data, and epidemiological studies might require ten or more years of follow-up.

Finally, the agencies note difficulties in measuring actual RF exposure, including which model of phone is used and the angle of the cell phone during the use.

The North American Brain Tumor Coalition (NABTC) has for a number of years carefully monitored the research related to the potential adverse effects associated with cell phone use.

The NABTC urges these precautions in absence of definitive studies regarding the risks of cell phones. The coalition urges the most expeditious possible completion of research studies, including one sponsored by the World Health Organization (WHO), to provide consumers better information about the risks created by their use of cell phones.

In the absence of conclusive studies, it is recommended that individuals take simple precautions to limit their cell phone use and that they impose restrictions on the use of cell phones by children.

The WHO published a fact sheet on cell phones in the Year 2000, which stated, “Given the immense numbers of mobile phones, even small adverse effects on health could have major public health implications.”

A recently published meta-analysis by an Australian neurosurgeon has also intensified concerns about the risks of cell phone use and created great interest in the completion of ongoing studies.

Although public health authorities are not in agreement regarding the issuance of public health advisories about cell phones in light of the inconclusive data regarding their risks, most governments have issued precautionary warnings regarding cell phone use.

The United Kingdom in 2000 urged that cell phone use among children be limited and undertook a leafleting campaign to distribute information about limiting use by children.

In 2006, the Canadian government urged adults to moderate their cell phone use and the cell phone use of their children until the science regarding the risks of cell phones is clear.

“If you must conduct extended conversations by wireless phone every day, you could place more distance between your body and the source of the RF, since the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. For example, you could use a headset and carry the wireless phone away from your body or use a wireless phone connected to a remote antenna,” advised Dr. Masood.

In a July 2008 memo to the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute faculty and staff, institute director Ronald Herberman, M.D. offered “Practical Advice to Limit Exposure to Electromagnetic Radiation Emitted from Cell Phones.”

Dr. Herberman said that release of the ten “prudent and simple precautions” to reduce exposure was based on the recommendations of an international panel of experts convened by the University of Pittsburgh.

Those experts stated that, “electromagnetic fields emitted by cell phones should be considered a potential human health risk.”

Cancer Center in Pittsburgh Warns of Cell Phone Risks

Cancer Center in Pittsburgh Warns of Cell Phone Risks
The head of a prominent cancer research institute issued an unprecedented warning to his faculty and staff Wednesday: Limit cell phone use because of the possible risk of cancer.

warning from Dr. Ronald B. Herberman, director of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, is contrary to numerous studies that don’t find a link between cancer and cell phone use, and a public lack of worry by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Herberman is basing his alarm on early unpublished data. He says it takes too long to get answers from science and he believes people should take action now especially when it comes to children.

Really at the heart of my concern is that we shouldn’t wait for a definitive study to come out, but err on the side of being safe rather than sorry later, Herberman said.

No other major academic cancer research institutions have sounded such an alarm about cell phone use. But Herberman’s advice is sure to raise concern among many cell phone users and especially parents.

In the memo he sent to about 3,000 faculty and staff Wednesday, he says children should use cell phones only for emergencies because their brains are still developing.

Adults should keep the phone away from the head and use the speakerphone or a wireless headset, he says. He even warns against using cell phones in public places like a bus because it exposes others to the phone’s electromagnetic fields.

The issue that concerns some scientists though nowhere near a consensus is electromagnetic radiation, especially its possible effects on children. It is not a major topic in conferences of brain specialists.

A 2008 University of Utah analysis looked at nine studies including some Herberman cites with thousands of brain tumor patients and concludes we found no overall increased risk of brain tumors among cellular phone users. The potential elevated risk of brain tumors after long-term cellular phone use awaits confirmation by future studies.

Studies last year in France and Norway concluded the same thing.

If there is a risk from these products and at this point we do not know that there is it is probably very small, the Food and Drug Administration says on an agency Web site.

Still, Herberman cites a growing body of literature linking long-term cell phone use to possible adverse health effects including cancer.

Although the evidence is still controversial, I am convinced that there are sufficient data to warrant issuing an advisory to share some precautionary advice on cell phone use, he wrote in his memo.

A driving force behind the memo was Devra Lee Davis, the director of the university’s center for environmental oncology.

The question is do you want to play Russian roulette with your brain, she said in an interview from her cell phone while using the hands-free speaker phone as recommended. I don’t know that cell phones are dangerous. But I don’t know that they are safe.

Of concern are the still unknown effects of more than a decade of cell phone use, with some studies raising alarms, said Davis, a former health adviser in the Clinton Administration.

She said 20 different groups have endorsed the advice the Pittsburgh cancer institute gave, and authorities in England, France and India have cautioned children’s use of cell phones.

Herberman and Davis point to a massive ongoing research project known as Interphone, involving scientists in 13 nations, mostly in Europe. Results already published in peer-reviewed journals from this project aren’t so alarming, but Herberman is citing work not yet published.

The published research focuses on more than 5,000 cases of brain tumors. The National Research Council in the U.S., which isn’t participating in the Interphone project, reported in January that the brain tumor research had selection bias. That means it relied on people with cancer to remember how often they used cell phones. It is not considered the most accurate research approach.

The largest published study, which appeared in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute in 2006, tracked 420,000 Danish cell phone users, including thousands that had used the phones for more than 10 years. It found no increased risk of cancer among those using cell phones.

A French study based on Interphone research and published in 2007 concluded that regular cell phone users had no significant increased risk for three major types of nervous system tumors. It did note, however, that there was the possibility of an increased risk among the heaviest users for one type of brain tumor, but that needs to be verified in future research.

Earlier research also has found no connection.

Joshua E. Muscat of Penn State University, who has studied cancer and cell phones in other research projects partly funded by the cell phone industry, said there are at least a dozen studies that have found no cancer-cell phone link. He said a Swedish study cited by Herberman as support for his warning was biased and flawed.

We certainly don’t know of any mechanism by which radiofrequency exposure would cause a cancerous effect in cells. We just don’t know this might possibly occur, Muscat said.

Cell phones emit radiofrequency energy, a type of radiation that is a form of electromagnetic radiation, according to the National Cancer Institute. Though studies are being done to see if there is a link between it and tumors of the brain and central nervous system, there is no definitive link between the two, the institute says on its Web site.

By all means, if a person feels compelled that they should take precautions in reducing the amount of electromagnetic radio waves through their bodies, by all means they should do so, said Dan Catena, a spokesman for the American Cancer Society. But at the same time, we have to remember there’s no conclusive evidence that links cell phones to cancer, whether it’s brain tumors or other forms of cancer.

Joe Farren, a spokesman for the CTIA-The Wireless Association, a trade group for the wireless industry, said the group believes there is a risk of misinforming the public if science isn’t used as the ultimate guide on the issue.

When you look at the overwhelming majority of studies that have been peer reviewed and published in scientific journals around the world, you’ll find no relationship between wireless usage and adverse health affects, Farren said.

Frank Barnes, who chaired the January report from the National Research Council, said Wednesday that the jury is out on how hazardous long-term cell phone use might be.

Speaking from his cell phone, the professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Colorado at Boulder said he takes no special precautions in his own phone use. And he offered no specific advice to people worried about the matter.

It’s up to each individual to decide what if anything to do. If people use a cell phone instead of having a land line, that may very well be reasonable for them, he said.

Susan Juffe, a 58-year-old Pittsburgh special education teacher, heard about Herberman’s cell phone advice on the radio earlier in the day.

Now, I’m worried. It’s scary, she said.

She says she’ll think twice about allowing her 10-year-old daughter Jayne to use the cell phone.

I don’t want to get it (brain cancer) and I certainly don’t want you to get it, she explained to her daughter.

Sara Loughran, a 24-year-old doctoral student at the University of Pittsburgh, sat in a bus stop Wednesday chatting on her cell phone with her mother. She also had heard the news earlier in the day, but was not as concerned.

I think if they gave me specific numbers and specific information and it was scary enough, I would be concerned, Loughran said, planning to call her mother again in a matter of minutes. Without specific numbers, it’s too vague to get me worked up.

Understanding and Protecting against the Adverse Effects of Electromagnetic Frequencies (EMFs) on our Health and Chikdren’s development

Understanding and Protecting against the Adverse Effects of Electromagnetic Frequencies (EMFs) on our Health and Chikdren’s development

How EMFs Affect Us & What You Can do To Reduce your Exposure
By Liala Epstein Advanced Health Technologies - Canadian Independent Distributor
www.earthCalm.ca

Electromagnetic pollution (EMF) may be the most significant form of pollution human activity has produced in this century!” ~ Dr. Andrew Weil, Leading Health Expert
The amount of electricity in our environment can be overwhelming to think about. Our environment is saturated with invisible EMFs from electrical wiring, appliances, Wi-Fi., computers, appliances, cell phones, hydro and cell phone towers, etc..In a 2008 survey by U.S.A. today, EMF pollution was found to be the #1 environmental concern. This is a valid concern; EMFs affect every aspect of our physical, emotional and mental health and contribute to every disease and disorder. In this article, I will explain how and why electricity in our environment is adversely effecting our health, emotions and mental functioning and what this means when it comes to your child’s health, behaviour, emotional development and ability to learn. I will also explain you how you can become easily empowered so that you and protect and heal yourself. I’m going to share ideas that are easy to apply so you can use to minimize your exposure to environmental electricity. I’m also going to tell you about the most protective and least expensive products available that you can confidently use to protect yourself and family.
Many different terms are used when talking about the electricity that’s in our environment. You’ve probably heard them, electromagnetic field, electromagnetic radiation, magnetic field, electric field, microwave, EMR, ELF and so on. In order to understand what I am presenting here, it’s not important to define these terms or distinguish between the different types of electricity. The important thing is that all chaotic non biological electricity is a threat to our physical, emotional and mental health. I’ve used the term “chaotic” intentionally, because some forms of manmade electricity are used for therapeutic purposes. I’m not going to be talking about therapeutic electricity. I will often be using the term EMF to refer to non biological chaotic electricity; EMF is an abbreviation for electromagnetic field, and is often used to refer to harmful manmade electricity.
Manmade or artificial electricity has been used on the planet for 120 years. Apparently, with the introduction of wireless technology, artificial electricity can now be measured everywhere on earth. Ours is the first generation to be saturated with EMFS. I don’t need to remind you about the pervasiveness, especially in the city of Toronto where we have more than 1,000 cell phone towers dotting our landscape. Our city boasts of having its own Wi-Fi network blanketing the downtown core. The proliferation of electricity in our lives seems to be endless. Merchandisers have started to put microchips in clothing, footwear and other goods and are doing so without our knowledge. These microchips are designed to send encoded electrical messages to data collection agencies that will track consumer habits. Researchers have already micro chipped humans and there is talk of doing so nationwide. In British schools, teachers can already give lessons using Wi-Fi white-boards, and in the near future hand-held Wi-Fi terminals will enable children to ‘interact’ with digital lesson. In the words of the technology’s industry group, the Wi-Fi Alliance: ‘Simply put, Wi-Fi is freedom.’
We cannot avoid EMFs in our environment. We can however effectively safeguard our health and heal our bodies.
Some of you may be wondering whether or not EMF dangers are real. After all, there are researchers and authorities who insist that EMFs are harmless. So, many people believe that the subject of EMF health hazards is controversial and needs more research. The truth is, thousands of scientific research papers are published every year that document the health risks associated with EMFS. These studies have shown that all EMFs, regardless of range or frequency have damaging consequences. Since the 1970’s studies have repeatedly shown a direct correspondence between how close one lives to powerlines and transformer and power stations and the incidence of childhood leukemia and cancer. The largest study involved 29,000 children and looked at data collected over a 30 year period. Incidentally, A 2003 study by Canadian scientist Magda Havas found that 42 of the 60 Canadian cities that were measured, had EMF field intensities at levels greater than the level associated with childhood leukemia. Recently, there have been numerous studies to suggest a direct relationship between brain cancer and cell phone use. Brain cancer tumor risk has been steadily increasing over the last 10 years- particularly among the 20 -29 year olds. You’re probably asking why then, are there educated researchers who are telling us that everyday EMFs are not harmful? The reason is simple. These researchers are looking for a direct cause and effect relationship when none exists. Studies have shown that there appears to be no rhyme or reason to the symptoms. Researchers can take a group of people claiming to be electrically sensitive, expose them to identical frequencies and have reports of many different kinds of symptoms. One person who claims to be sensitive to EMFS will have an adverse reaction to one type of EMF but not to anther, while a 2nd electrically sensitive person will express no reactions at all So, the researchers who are looking for direct cause and effect relationships conclude that symptoms in response to EMF exposure are psychosomatic-an artefact created by the power of suggestion.
A large body of research comes from Sweden where they have officially recognized electromagnetic hypersensitivity or electro sensitivity as a medical condition. This is a condition where someone experiences physical or psychological symptoms that are aggravated by EMFs at levels that most people can tolerate. Most common symptoms include: headaches; tinnitus; fatigue; nausea; stress; poor concentration; sleep disorder; pain; burning sensation; skin conditions; and rashes.
Dr. Ollie Johanssen, a Swedish neuroscientist has declared that based on his research, he expects 50% of the world population will exhibit symptoms of electro hyper sensitivity by the year 2017. This might seem to be an extremely bold claim. Keep in mind, however, that the effects of EMFs are cumulative, making us increasingly more sensitive to EMFS as we get older.
In addition to the symptoms of electro sensitivity, EMF exposure is also linked to many other physical complaints, emotional disorders, and mental conditions.
The question that next arises is, why are EMFs implicated in so much illness and disorder? Very simply, it is because we are electrical beings with internal wiring. Every bodily function depends on electrical activity that takes place within and between cells. Our body’s electrical system works to initiate every action within our body. It balances the activity of every organ.. Our body’s electrical system works to balance the activity of our organs. It represents the very foundation of the healing process. The flow of electricity in the body is as critical to the body’s well being as the flow of blood.
Our bodies conduct electricity that enters it. Studies have shown that when this happens, our electrical processes are disturbed, and cell functioning is disrupted. The electricity in electrical wiring and appliances changes the atomic structure of the cell and breaks the bonds that exist in and between cells. This triggers changes in blood chemistry, induces free radicals, disrupts the cells ability to control PH levels, enzyme activity, cell reproduction, synthesis, functioning and energy transfer. A healthy and permeable cell membrane wall is needed for effective communication and coordination of activity between cells, tissues, organs and nerves. When exposed, to EMFS, the protein in the cell membrane wall is weakened and the cells react as though threatened by an invader. The cell enters into a state of emergency. Besides impaired communication and coordination, the reduced membrane permeability also makes it difficult for nutrients to enter and for toxins to exit. As a consequence, we are not benefitting from nutrients and healing therapies to the extent that we should be, When the cell is in a state of emergency, instead of producing water and carbon dioxide, the cell produces hydrogen peroxide and carbon monoxide. In short, the cell begins to ferment. The state of emergency behaviour is passed on to each subsequent generation of cells.
There is also constant unending tension in the nervous system, that puts our bodies into a state of chronic stress. Most scientists agree that the mechanism whereby EMFs impact the body’s nervous system is explained by the principle of cyclotronic resonance. (The word cyclotronic refers to spinning electrons. According to the principles of Cyclotronic resonance, energy is actually transferred from the electrical wiring in our buildings into the nervous system of people within the building.) Cyclotronic resonance causes the adrenal system to generate cortisol, stress hormones, and also causes ions, also known as electrolytes, (electrical particles) to get kicked out of the cells. Specifically calcium, lithium, sodium, magnesium and potassium are kicked into the blood stream to either collect in joints or be inappropriately eliminated. These ions, or electrolytes govern cell metabolism, calmness, mood and memory and are involved in most of the body’s chemical reactions. Eventually, our immune systems begin to collapse.
Additionally, studies have found that EMF exposure more than doubles the release of mercury vapour from dental fillings, triggers the expression of disease causing genes, damages DNA and interferes with DNA repair. Studies have also shown that cancer cell division is 24 times greater when the cancer cells are exposed to EMFs.
It seems that the pineal gland is the organ most impaired by EMF exposure. This organ produces hormones and neurotransmitter that tune and regulate the hypothalamus, central nervous system and immune system. EMF exposure suppresses the pineal gland activity leading to the reduction of 2 important chemical messengers: melatonin and serotonin. Both are involved in regulating numerous processes and functions, however, serotonin has enormous influence over many brain functions.
Melatonin Regulates/Influences:
sleep onset and quality of sleep; body weight; energy balance; antioxidant activity; sex hormone production; mood; immunity; bone health; and prostrate, breast and uterine health.
Melatonin Deficiency is Associated with:
insomnia; sleep disorders; endometriosis; fibroids; fibrocystic breasts; menstrual disturbances; prostrate cancer; PMS; immune disturbances; cancer; high cholesterol; blood pressure abnormalities; depression; bipolar disorder; Alzheimer’s; autism; epilepsy; sudden infant death; diabetes; anxiety; heart arrhythmia; cataracts; and scoliosis.
Serotonin Regulates/Influences:
appetite control; sleep; memory; learning; mood; behaviour; cardiovascular functioning; muscle contraction; sense of well being; endocrine, renal, immune and gastrointestinal systems.
Serotonin Deficiency is Associated With:
insomnia; memory and learning disorders; mood disorders; eating disorders; depression; obesity; panic attacks; alcoholism; headaches; ADD; aggression; fibromyalgia; PMS; deficits schizophrenia and deficits in executive, fibromyalgia, schizophrenia, memory and learning disorders, and impairments in functions that are collectively known as executive functions.
Executive function is a collection of brain processes that are responsible for planning, cognitive flexibility, abstract thinking, learning rules, initiating appropriate action, inhibiting inappropriate action, and selecting relevant sensory information. It is involved in decision making, trouble shooting, impulse control, reasoning, managing time and space, organizing and co-ordinating activities, setting goals, self reflection, self correcting; multi-tasking and mood. Executive functions develop during childhood through to young adulthood. This is when we learn to,
resist distraction by salient stimuli; focus attention on stimuli that are important; be goal oriented; organize and direct activity so that goals are achieved in ways that are appropriate and rule abiding; engage in abstract thinking; make predictions about the future; reason; think from another’s point of view; evaluate ideas; reflect on ones own work, be flexible in thinking so that self correcting is possible; keep track of time; simultaneously attend to more than one task; engage in group dynamics; wait patiently; finish work on time; and seek assistance when needed.
As I mentioned previously, executive functions become impaired when the pineal gland produces less serotonin in response to EMF exposure. Executive functions are also impaired when EMF exposure disrupts the electrical activity within and between brain cells – which are specifically specialized nerve calls called neurons. Executive functioning is also impaired by the constant unending stress caused by EMFS, which in turn puts the body into a fight or flight response. The reason being, that part of this response is to reduce the blood flow to the Frontal lobes/ forebrain, where executive functioning takes place; this means there is less energy available for executive functions. The loss of important electrolytes through the process of cyclautronic resonance also impairs executive functioning. So, there are many ways in which EMF exposure interferes with thought processes, learning, memory, emotional control and behaviour. And the disruption in executive functioning has wide reaching implications during childhood.
There is seldom a single cause for disorders and illness. So, of course, EMFS are not necessarily the cause for these. However, EMFs can be seen to disturb emotional and mental functioning, promote and accelerate illness and interfere will healing, Minimizing exposure to EMFS and obtaining effective EMF protection are essential for healing and prevention.
Based on the research, when you reduce your exposure to EMFs your healing energies flow more freely and the body begins to heal. Your nervous system and acupuncture meridian system are released from constriction. A calmness sets in. The pineal gland increases its production of hormones and important chemicals that control and effect physical, emotional and mental functioning. There is also an increase in overall energy. Cells no longer function as though in a state of emergency. As well there is increased production, uptake and cell retention of important electrolytes such as lithium, potassium, sodium and calcium. These electrolytes or ions are important for every bodily function. Because your body becomes more efficient, you realize greater benefits from nutrition, supplements and healing therapies. In terms of emotional and mental changes, people report improved sense of well being, clarity, concentration, and improved anger management. The benefits that have been reported for children show that there is marked improvement in hyperactive ADHD and asthmatic children. There are reports of increased calmness, attention span and impulse control.
There are many EMF reducing practices. People who are sensitive to EMFs will find these practices especially beneficial. But every one should consider adopting any or all of the following practices, because minimizing your exposure to EMFs is part of maximizing your health.
• Use a wired network instead of a Wi-Fi network
• Use wired speakers and other electronic components instead of wireless
• When considering an alarm system for your home, opt for a wired system instead of a wireless system.
• When using the computer, try not to hold onto the mouse and learn keyboard strokes to replace mouse functions
• Try to locate the computer tower printer and wiring aware from where you sit
• Opt for LCD Flat Screen computer monitors
• Avoid placing a laptop computer on your lap when you are using it
• Store your cell phone in a case or backpack or purse where it will not be right next to your body. When sleeping keep it at least 3 feet away from your bed
• Place your electric alarm clock at least 3 feet away from your bed
• Electric appliances and devices are surrounded by electric fields even when not turned on. So unplug these at night if they are in close proximity to your bed.
• Instead of fluorescent bulbs, use incandescent or full spectrum bulbs
• If you must use a cell phone or cordless phone, use the speakerphone when possible. Don’t use a Bluetooth or earplugs that transmit radiation directly into the ear canal.
• Try to avoid using a cell phone or laptop in a car or bus where the EMFs are intensified
• Stay 2 to 3 feet away from someone who is talking on a cell phone.
• avoid using waterbeds that need electric heaters
• Substitute electric razors and can openers with manual versions
• Find alternatives for electric blankets
• Substitute a heating pad with a hot water bottle
• Washing machines, clothes dryers, and dishwashers have large EMFs, especially when high efficiency. So try to run full loads mostly. If someone is sleeping with the head of the bed on the wall behind these machines, don’t operate the machine when they are sleeping
• The larger the tv screen the stronger and larger the EMF, sit far back and again, don’t operate if someone is sleeping directly behind the tv wall
When using appliances, try to stand 2 to 3 feet back. For instance, when cooking on an electric stove, try to use the back burners more often
Children have relatively more brain fluid and thinner skulls than adults, so they are more susceptible to EMFs than adults. A 1 year old child can absorb almost twice as much radiation per kilo as an adult. Try to teach EMF minimizing practices to your children while they are young so that it becomes part of their lifestyle. Don’t use a cell phone or cordless phone while holding a child. Most baby monitors use digital wireless technology and the EMFs that they produce can be more powerful than living near a cell phone tower. So concerned mothers will want to reconsider using these devices.
Lastly, support groups that want to keep cell phones and Wi-Fi networks out of schools, public buildings and public transportation. Let your local Member of Parliament know that you are opposed to the government’s decision to ban incandescent light bulbs.
Once you’ve made EMF protection a priority, you should select a product that provides the most extensive protection possible so that a single protector will protect you from many forms of EMFs. If possible, it should also be portable. It should also be convenient to use, so that you will be able to use it easily and all the time. And it should be affordable. EarthCalm products meet these criteria. They provide a revolutionary approach to EMF protection, which is a credit to the ingenuity and diligence of the inventor. Jean Gallick. For much of her life Jean suffered from symptoms that are now recognized as electrosensivity. Once she realized that EMFs were contributing to her illness, she applied her scientific training to finding a solution. The answer was to develop a way to empower the body to naturally rid itself of EMFs. And this, is exactly what EarthCalm products do. They empower your body so that your body naturally dissipates EMFS.
This is done by grounding your body to the electromagnetic field of the planet. All living things were naturally grounded in this way before there was manmade electricity. Manmade electricity has severed the connection. Instead of resonating to the planet, our cells are resonating to the electricity in our homes/and workplace.
Many products are now available on the internet that address the importance of grounding the human body to the earth. Grounding in this context has also been called ‘earthing.’ Earthing or grounding is important for human health in two fundamental senses.
1. Grounding allows for the positive flow of energy and information between the human body and the earth.
2. Increased grounding also allows the body to rid itself of the chaotic and unhealthy (biologically meaningless) currents induced by our electrical system.
To explain, our body’s electrical system is Direct current, or DC current. The planet’s electrical system is also DC current. When two DC currents are brought together, a grounding takes place. The grounding blocks out other forms of electricity.
To fully protect yourself from EMFs it is necessary to strengthen your ground to the electromagnetic field of the earth. This field lies between the earth’s crust and the ionosphere and is commonly called the Schumann Resonance. EarthCalm strengthens your connection to the Schumann Resonance. EarthCalm products incorporate scalar resonance technology, to amplify the connection to Schumann Resonance exponentially. By the way, EarthCalm was the first to use this technology in a device. Scalar resonance takes the grounding deeper. Scalar resonance technology amplifies exponentially. So its use in the EarthCalm products results in an exponential amplification of healing and EMF protection The deeper the ground, the more exponential the healing and the more exponential the protection.
EarthCalm products contain 7 carefully constructed and calibrated circuits that are designed to act as antennae. The antenna is tuned to the frequency of the planet’s electromagnetic field. EarthCalm Resonator jewellery allows you to wear the grounding circuits on your body. EarthCalm home protection systems plug-in to the electrical outlet in your home. When the circuits in the home system make contact with the electrical wiring, the wiring in the home becomes a giant antenna bringing the planets frequency to every inhabitant including pets) in the home. The effect is intended to be evenly distributed throughout the home and its range not limited by the size of the structure. A single plug-in product is sufficient for your entire building.
The scalar home protection system incorporates a graduated three step process to minimize any detoxification symptoms that will naturally follow once the body’s healing energies are released. The three step process allows for a comfortable adjustment period that is especially important for people with fibromyalgia and electrosensitivity. The EarthCalm Scalar Home Protection System is the only product on the market that provides strong enough EMF protection to help people with fibromyalgia while still allowing for a gradual change or adaptation period. Our three step system is highly recommended for children, who may be too young to wear the resonator jewlery.
EarthCalm also offers accessory items to enhance protection from cell phones, or other wireless technology.
For those wanting to know, the circuits consist of
an oscillating coil based on George Lahkovsky (who was curing people of cancer in the 1920s) ;
an amplified crystal diode created by the inventor of EarthCalm products ;
several other coils or circuits and crystals developed by the inventor, such as the Diamond Element (see Eco Tec);
and the most incredibly effective and powerful is the scalar ground.
Only EarthCalm provides products that incorporate scalar resonance technology, are maintenance free, work without recharging, cost nothing to operate, naturally enhance the nervous and acupuncture systems, and last forever.
EarthCalm philosophy is simple. Provide the most powerful protection anywhere in keeping with natural laws.
EarthCalm products are offered with a 90 day money back guarantee to afford you the time to monitor the effectiveness yourself. Note and jot down your specific symptoms or general mood now, and then compare after several weeks to determine the effectiveness for yourself.
