Employers should raise awareness of cellphone health effects

Every day some 300 million cellphone users 'reach out and touch someone', including themselves, the call recipient, and everyone within relative range of the microwaves and other electro magnetic (EM) waves emitted by their phones.


Human brains and bodies operate by exquisitely subtle fluid vortexes, micro EM waves, and radiation. We are sensitive to electromagnetic harmonies much more intricate than the 'ton of bricks' cocktail radiated by transmitting cellphones.
We are as intricate as galaxies, depending on tiny electrical impulses to conduct complex life processes, including the ability to read, recall, respond, and create. Our anatomies are antennas tuned in to ether, interrupted and affected by spurious signals from radio and microwave transmissions, especially those originating in our hands and next to our heads.

UHF frequency jam

While cellphones conquer consumer markets and habits, researcher Carolanne Patton notes that "the brain reaches peak absorption in the Ultra High Frequency (UHF) bands, right where cellular telecommunications operate." Television broadcast towers also operate in that band.
British military scientists have discovered that cellphone transmissions disrupt brain sites serving memory and learning, causing forgetfulness and sudden confusion.
Other studies show that electromagnetic signals from cellphones reduce the ability to concentrate, calculate and coordinate complicated activities, like driving a car.
Cellphone calls are not just a dangerous distraction. Tests by the USA Department of Energy found that cellphone use severely impairs memory and reaction time.
Hands free cell speaker phones cause even more traffic crashes, since they typically emit 10 times more brainwave interference than hand held units.

EM pollution from towers and cars

In New Zealand, cellphone towers are prohibited on school property because of possible health effects to children. USA company Microcell officer Colin Mc Crae said; "Emissions from cellphone towers carry about the same energy as a 50Watt light bulb". But EM radiation is a more complex issue than using ready analogies.
As poisonous as cigarette smoke, and harder to prevent exposure from, cellphones cause invisible 'second hand' microwave and radio frequency (RF) pollution, posing risks to bystanders, particularly drivers and passengers of vehicles made to transmit amplified cellphone signals through their steel hulls.

Immune system disruption

Cellphone transmissions damage the ability of white blood cells to ward off infectious disease, by disrupting the immune system's electromagnetic communications.
A Ph D biophysicist at Lincoln University in Christchurch, New Zealand, Dr Neil Cherry, has measured accelerated aging, increased body cell death and cancers caused by radio frequency microwaves from cellphones and cellular relay towers. Due to the brain's electro-chemical communications repeatedly zapped by lightening-like cellphone pulses, headaches, fatigue, lethargy, nausea, dizziness, depression, arteriosclerosis and even Alzheimer's could result from frequent or prolonged cellphones calls.
There is also a higher incidence of cardiac problems, said Dr Cherry, in terms of the timing function in hearts. "You get more heart attacks and more heart disease, it has been shown in many studies."

Mood disruption

Dr Cherry has also found that cellphones could murderously modify moods. In brains and bodies seriously derailed by tiny imbalances in trace minerals and hormones, depression, suicide, anger, rage and violence could result when calcium and serotonin levels are disprupted by cellphone transmissions.
The risk is extremely high, said Dr Cherry. "There are 66 epidemiological studies showing that EM radiation across the spectrum increase brain tumors in human populations. Two of those studies are on particular brain tumors from cellphones."
