(Note that in newer cellphones, caused by ambient radiation from headsets. It is now the antenna may be hidden and not be visible to the user; acknowledged that headsets, far from being protective, can actually nonetheless, the near-field radiation is still a health issue.) The increase radiation emissions into the brain by as much as 300 per near-field radiation emanates outwards about 6-7 inches [approx. cent. Bluetooth technology is especially dangerous.

Whenever we activate Cellphones, Cell Membranes and Carrier Waves the phone to send or receive, whether it is held against the head, In recent years, exposure to radio frequencies emitted from clipped to a belt or kept in a pocket, we are being exposed to cellphones and wireless communication devices has taken centre dangerous information-carrying waves in the near field radiation stage, implicated as ca g serious physiological damage to cells. plume. Initially the wireless technology industry and the US The latest research shows that background radiation from the government did not consider radio frequencies from cellphones to many EMR-emitting electrical appliances as well as the new be a health risk. Despite massive evidence to the contrary, the wireless hot-spots equals the density of the information-carrying industry still maintains that position. In the early days of this waves emitted from the near field. This means that there is technology, it was believed that only a thermal effect, the heating danger not only close to the cellphone antenna, but also now in of tissues (such as what occurs in a microwave oven), resulted in the general environment to which we are exposed every day.” damage to tissues. Since cellphones do not have enough power to Although the wireless technology industry and some governmental agencies continue to assure the public of the safety of cellphones (in a way A that is very reminiscent of the tobacco It Is now acknowledged industry), the truth is that recent that headsets, far from being scientific evidence has revealed an protective can actually 3 emerging pattern of severe health problems caused from exposure to increase radiation emissions near-field radiation. Cellphones are anything but safe and harmless.

Near-field radiation is never before existed in nature; our cells are totally unfamiliar with able to open up the blood-brain barrier, allowing damaging toxic it and perceive it as a dangerous foreign invader. heat tissue, the US government did not require any studies to be done to investigate the potential health problems. However, emerging science has discovered that the problem with cellphones does not come from power output (thermal effect) but rather from the information piggybacking on the so-called "carrier wave" emitted from and received by the cellphone's antenna. This is called an "information-carrying radio wave" (ICRW). It is a frequency that chemicals a free ride into the brain tissue. The latest research has clearly identified the biological Near-field radiation also contributes to DNA damage. Many mechanisms of harm caused by ICRWs. We have special receptor studies have found micronuclei (fragments of DNA with a sites, called "microtubules", on our cell membranes which can surrounding membrane and with no physiological purpose) in the sense frequencies. The receptor sites interpret the ICRW as an blood of people who use cellphones. Micronuclei result from a unknown, threatening energy. Instantaneously the cell membrane breakdown of the cell's ability to repair itself, and they indicate will go into a protective lock-down mode. This means that genetic damage. If the brain cells become unable to repair nutrients cannot get into the cell and toxins and waste products themselves, then tumours could develop.* More troubling is the cannot get out. It also means that vital cell-to-cell communication fact that the presence of micronuclei can also indicate other health is lost.” This effect is immediate and lasts for as long as a person issues, e.g., compromised immunity, sleep disturbances, attention is exposed to the ICRWs. The longer this condition persists, deficient disorders, autism and Alzheimer's disease. Since the biological damage occurs—often resulting in free radical damage, body's master glands (pituitary, hypothalamus, pineal) are located genetic mutation, loss of cellular energy, premature ageing and, within the brain, massive disturbances to the hormonal signalling ultimately, degenerative disease. capacities may potentially be generated from continual cellphone If anyone should know about the harmful effects of cellphones use. and wireless technology, it is George Carlo, MD, PhD, author of Then there's the electrical circuitry from cellphones, which Cell Phones: Invisible Hazards in the Wireless Age.
