Cellular telephones operate using microwave frequencies being broadcasted in the USA operate at the frequency range between 800 - 900 megahertz. (European systems operate at 450 megahertz.) The human anatomy absorbs radiation most efficiently between 70 - 87 megahertz in the FM band. The difference in acceptable levels and the current frequency opens to concern over exposure and health risks.
The safety controversy revolves around the effects of these devices on our heath. The most noted effect is a break in DNA strands when influenced with extended exposure to these fields and brain tumors around or near the ear area where the phone is being held. Scientists all over the world are evaluating data and doing controlled studies. But the bottom line is that "wireless technology" as a whole is too new to come to any overall conclusion. So, you will need to decide for yourself what the best steps are for you to take. The points for you to consider are:
- RF/MW frequencies on wireless phones have been in use for less than 5 years. Previous phones used FM frequencies at a much lower range.
- What are the effects of this technology on children? (There is greater cranial penetration in pre-adult ages).
- What is the effect of extended or long term use? Minutes, hours, days, years?
- Which models and manufacturers create "safer" technology?
- The antenna brings in the signal. Safety issues have been identified regarding long vs. short antennas.
- USA vs. European standards vary. An international standard must be set with adherence to these standards by the world wide community.
It has been said that it will take another 10 years for people to begin to experience the full impact of this technology. The question is can you do something in the mean time? The government and other medical groups are going with the term "prudent avoidance"; Limit the time on a cell or cordless phone; use a headset; don't let small children use a wireless phone unless of an emergency. By using the products on this website you are making the decision to proactively take control. There are videos and website listings available on this site by going to "The Cell Phone Controversy".The products listed in this area help to change or convert the detrimental EMF frequencies to beneficial. They can be used in combination with other products that offer full protection for the entire home or for an individual. "The Home Protection System" and the "Office" or "Home" single units offered by EarthCalm will provide protection for the entire home or small business. This is also true of the "Clearfield Resonator" offered by Biomagnetic Research.
The pendants, bracelets and rings on this site also help to reduce the risk by the individual wearing the product which is good for trips outside of the home, at the office or while traveling.
