There are a lot of things in this World that has negative impact on this civilization. The bottom line is that we all have a choice. We all know that BIG BUSSINESS will push on with its own truth no matter what as long as they make profit. But, it is up to the each individual to make the right choice and do what is right for them. This way THE BIG BUSINESS would be forced to make products that are more health conscious for us. After all that's where the money would be. Until than, it is up to each of us to look for healthy products on our own and share it with others. Internet is a great way for it! Good Luck and thanks to all who are already doing so.

It's time to recognize this danger, and the dangers of all EMFs. I use Earthcalm.com and LOVE their products knowing my entire family has quality protection with hype.

This is an email comment posted on a local message board in a town in Israel. What do you think? is the writer correct in saying that more cell phone towers are acutally safer because they reduce radiation from any one individual tower? I have tried contacting an expert in Wahsington D.C. but her has been unresponsive to my inquiries. If anyone has solid info on this I would appreciate it very much for personal reasons as well as professional reasons. Our next door neighbors installed two cell phone towers next door to my kid's bedroom without consulting with anyone. We are fighting to have it taken down, but it's not been an easy task so far.

"Because there are fewer antennas, they must emit higher levels of radiation to service all the cell phones in their area. Fewer antennas, higher radiation levels. More antennas, lower radiation levels".

"So we need MORE cell phone antennas in [name of town deleted] to lower the radiation levels. Encourage the cell phone companies to provide better service and better guard our health by installing more antennas. If we have more antennas, even those that are quite close to where people live, study, and work will not be as harmful to all of us as the few antennas that are now situated further from our homes".

Ok, well how come when I talk about this people think I've flipped my lid? I mean, people are quite stupid... They wouldn't stand in front of a microwave oven when it's on, but yet they'd put a cell phone that emits microwave radiation right up to their ear and talk for 2 hours. Real "smart".

The first time I put a cell phone up to my ear when it was on and transmitting was also the last time. Now I use a wire or a speaker and I don't get dizzy or get headaches

Perhaps due to chronic sinus congestion, I feel wireless handset radiation very strongly. Cellular handsets are particularly intense, and household type wireless handsets only slightly less so. The sensation is akin to pressure, felt in a 3-ish inch radius around the handset.

It could be I have excess iron, as I also feel magnetic fields with my hands - I cannot comfortably hold magnets for long at all...

In any case, I am emphatic regarding the dangers of this radiation. It feels appallingly awful for me to hold a cell or wireless handset to my ear for more than a few tens of seconds, worse if I have a sinus headache already. Wired 'handsfree' earpiece is fine for cellphone, no unpleasantness, but can feel the energy slightly in the hand if holding the cellphone. Always conscious of pointing it away from self and others.

Have to concur regarding suppression of information to general public, and effectiveness of "training" supplied by media -- most people think I'm an eccentric health nut with regard to this. An electronic engineer friend working in the defense sector stated many years ago that one oughtn't hold the "microwave vortex antennae" to one's head ever, in response to seeing an early cellphone clipped to a belt.

C Ed Wright -- can you tell us about using these fluoroscent lights -- seems to me that the light switching on and off 50 times a second must be bad, as must be the radiation of the equipment inside that does this switching.

Can someone shed light on how the shielding on the cord of Dr M's device stops TRANSMISSION of radiation? First of all, the transmission is probably too powerful to get absorbed by shielding. Second, the shielding is not grounded to earth. I am not disputing that it may, I would like to know how it actually does suppress radiation.

And yes, when the power fails and all devices in our building go off the resulting lack of EMF and noise is rejuvenating. A wonderful feeling. And we don't even have Wi-Fi.

The 900 MHz cordless phones -- these are available, you may have luck in a store that tells 220V equipment to tourists such as an Indian store. You'll need to buy a 220 to 110 volt adaptor to run it on 110 volts. One simple way to check whether your cordless phone radiates even when not in use, is to hold it next to a radio (which should be on). Then call it and see whether you can hear a buzzzz noise on the radio. Whenever you hear a noise your cordless phone is radiating.

One word of caution on bluetooth devices: though they are MUCH lower power than a cell phone they radiate ALL THE TIME even when you are not speaking on them. My sense after using them for a while is that bluetooth may be more dangerous, it is better to use the cell phone to see who is calling and then call them back on a regular phone. If you are not near a normal phone then use your cell's speakerphone and cut your conversation short.

When using a cell phone for a while, sometimes I get a headache, sometimes my eyeballs hurt and sometimes my teeth that have metal in them.

I agree with you ann1122. In my neighborhood we do not have any Internet connections available unless we do wireless. I am a single mom of two kids who often have to stay home alone. I would be worried sick if I was unable to communicate with them for an emergency more so than worried about a "possible" brain tumor when I am 80. My father has had a cell phone since back in the day when they looked like a brick. He does not even use a landline (and hasn't for years), he chain smokes daily and is diabetic from agent orange exposure in vietnam, but he is "healthy" otherwise and has not adverse side effects from using his cell phone. It CAN happen to anyone, but all we can do is be informed and make the best choices for our family. I have chosen to keep my cell phone and my wireless Internet, not only for pleasure and convenience, but for safety and my mental well being of knowing my kids are safe. Until more accurate reports are available (that are not swayed by the big $ companies) I will continue to use my wireless devices.

I appreciate the concern of others and love the knowledge of the subject, but I still choose to take that risk.

Since I don't understand all of the modern technology, I would like to ask you all if the phone which we have in our home is considered a "cell" phone. It is not in service when the electricity is off , but otherwise i can talk on the phone and roam around the house with it. It is not connected to a cord to the phone like our old ones, but it has to be charged on a base which plugs in to an electricity line.. Is this type of phone a danger, also? Is it considered a cell phone? I would appreciate your answers, very much.

We've been aware of this problem for years and found that air-tube earpieces are not very effective due to the fact that the wire still hangs across the body carrying the microwave up the cord to the point that the tube begins. A better and much cheaper way to go is to use a wired earpiece and attach a small bar magnet at the base of the wire at the point it exits your phone (just above the jack). wind the wire around the magnet one (or two) full turns lengthwise along the magnet, tape it perpendicular to the wire (black electrical tape works nicely) and you have a pretty dead cord that only carries the voice signal.

I guess what concerns me...is there anything out there about baby-monitors?...I'm thinking they won't have the degree EMF but they may have some.

This would be very scary if true, but being an electrical engineer who designs and works on communication based systems (cell phones and other wireless infrastructure), I know that this argument is not even close to true. The Dr. is absolutely wrong in his knowledge of how cell phones work. This is his foundational comment on how wireless signals effect our bodies:

>The biological danger from WiFi routers, cell phones and land-based portable phones comes from two >sources:

> 1. The modulated signals that are carried ON the carrier microwave, and

> 2. The carrier wave itself

>The modulated information-carrying radio waves resonate in biological frequencies of a few to a few hundred >cycles per second, and can stimulate your vibrational cellular receptors, causing a whole cascade of >pathological consequences that can culminate in fatigue, anxiety, and ultimately cancers.

The modulation for the carrier frequency is NOT even close to "a few to a few hundred cycles per second". A cycle per second is a Hertz (Hz). Anybody with a sub woofer in their home stereo system listens to a few to a few hundred cycles per second (Hz). An band you go to listen to, performs creating audio waves at a few hundred cycles per second (base).

The second point is that the carrier wave at a much higher frequency than what the doctor is claiming is the resonating biological frequency. Thus, it is impossible for them to generate energy in that region.

The doctor here seems to be putting together a bunch of fancy terms to describe something that is impossible and inaccurate. This is an area I know much about and it makes me question his 'facts' in areas I know less about when I see false information.

Though it may be possible that cell phones cause physical damage, it is certainly not for the reasons stated in this article. Be cautious of information that sounds good vs information that is factual.

You don't mention what sort of an investigation you have done to invalidate BioPro - you just give a very vague and discrediting view of the technology. Perhaps you need to either give some solid evidence or back away from that opinion. This puts me in mind of the dismissive statements from the tobacco industry and the cell phone industry itself. Statements that have nothing to back them up but are put there to discredit something you do not want to promote.

Dr. George Carlo, author of 'Cell Phones, Invisible Hazards of the Wireless Age" and world leader in EMF research (who would not be bought off by the cell phone industry) finds BioPro to be valid and effective protection. He has looked at all of the technology on the market and chooses to endorse this. What exactly did your 'investigation' consist of?
