 Cell Phone – Certified organic

   Good day, here is your cookie for today. It’s about ‘Peace of Mind.’

   First, just to let you know, we just got back home after visiting a dear friend and spending some times in Washington D.C. We enjoyed some nice R & R (rest & relaxation), and even celebrated our anniversary. Thanks for asking.    

    The Flavor of the Day

   There are many different types of insurance available today. By nature, insurance is considered to be an intangible product. We often do not receive the benefits until they are needed. As such, we acquire these products for ‘Peace of Mind.’ When it comes to cell phones, many people have insurance to guard against loss, damage and even battery replacement. Do we have ‘Peace of Mind’ for our health and wellness?

   Pretty much, we live in a digital world and for many of us our daily communication with others is, by way of cellular phones. More and more people are removing their land-line phones and exclusively using their cell phones. A common sight is hands to the ears holding these devices. It was not very long ago that if we saw someone that appeared to be talking to themselves, we might have thought they were ‘nuts.’ Today, they are probably either talking on their cell phone or connected to their phone via a wireless ear piece. Cell phones and accessories are time saving, useful and functional devices. They can also be fun, waste time and used to perpetuate hoaxes. Perhaps you have received an email or seen the YouTube video about cell phones popping corns. If not and you are interested you can see it by clicking on the following link:

   After the laughter has subsided and the WOW has ebbed, we should be immediately asking, how is possible for cell phones to pop corn? THEY CANNOT!!! The radiation emitted from a cell phone is 1/1000th of that from a microwave oven. But still, have you ever talked on the phone for a long period of time? The earpiece gets warm. Now why do you suppose that happens?

   Wireless communications devices such as cellular phones operate through the use of radio frequency (RF) field, which have long been used in our environment, e.g. AM, FM, Short Wave and HAM radios all utilize radio frequency waves to transmit signals; so do television and radar. 

   Cellular phones emit low levels of radio frequency (RF) energy (i.e. radio frequency radiation or RFR) in the microwave range while being used.  They also emit very low levels of radio frequency energy (RFE) when in the standby mode. 

   It is well known that high levels of RF can produce biological damage through heating or thermal effects.  This is how a microwave oven is able to cook food and pop corn. The heating of food, which uses radio frequency energy to generate molecular vibration, demonstrates the potential of high levels of exposure to cause significant changes in biological materials due to heat. 

   Although the intensity of radio frequency fields used for communication purposes is very low, scientists, researchers and even governments are unsure of what the long term effects of low level RF may be.  In the USA, cell phone manufacturers are held to some standard to minimize RF exposure. The very fact that they are required to reduce the emissions imply that that no one really knows what long terms effects may result from extended use.

What the Experts Say

   In the United States, the FDA has determined that cell phones may have long term health effects, and have commissioned a study to determine those effects.  As an interim measure, regulations have been enacted warning users of the amount of radiation emitted to the brain.   

   This data is known as the “SAR” (Specific Absorption Rate), and must by law, be prominently displayed on every phone for sale in the US.

   In the United Kingdom, regulations have been passed such that all mobile phones come with health warnings.

   In the European Union, regulations have been passed requiring manufacturers to prominently display the “SAR” for every phone for sale.

   Scientific studies worldwide are focusing on the relationship between cell phone use and brain tumors, genetic damage, sleep disturbance, memory and attention deficit disorders.  In a recent interview on Larry King, the wife and surgeon of the late, Johnnie Cochran, attorney, suggest that his death due to brain cancer may have been related to his extended use of a cell phone.

 The Problem 

  Up to 60% of the radiation emitted by a typical cell phone is absorbed by the user’s head. More importantly, up to four times the radiation comes out of the earpiece of a cellular phone, than out of the antenna to transmit a signal to the cellular tower.

    Several Entrepreneurs, banking on the legitimate public health concerns and on the readily available press coverage, quickly entered the market with products supposed to reduce the unwanted radiation from the cell phone to reach the user’s head. Unfortunately, most of these products (if not all of them) do not work as advertised.

 Solutions

   A few companies offer – mostly through the Internet – products that claim to significantly reduce the harmful radiation emanating from cellular telephones which shower the users head while in use.  These products use one of three ways to resolve this complex issue:

   1. A reflective shroud encasing the cell phone -  Assuming you find a shroud for your specific cell phone, there is a distinct probability that it will interfere with the keypad and function buttons, hampering the usability of the phone.  This is, however, the easiest way to reduce emissions.  This method was evaluated and abandoned as it created too much internal interference within the cell phone.  This resulted in lost signals, communication interruption and poor performance, range and voice quality.

   2.    An absorber shroud encasing the antenna – Antenna shrouds are easy to manufacture and do effectively reduce the radiation from the antenna.  However, most of the radiation emanating from a cellular telephone comes from the circuitry and internal portion of the antenna and are transmitted through the area surrounding the earpiece.  As a result, shielding the antenna does not provide sufficient energy dissipation for A4M[1] to approve of this avenue.  Tests have conclusively demonstrated that the use of an antenna shroud has the following undesirable effects:

  •  Reduced battery life
  •  Increase in harmful radiation by reason of adaptive technology inside the phone
  •  There is minimal reduction of harmful radiation emitted by the antenna. Additionally, if improperly installed, the shield actually can direct the radiation to the brain instead of away from it

   3.   Ear Plug/Microphone Units – Conceptually, the ear plug/microphone combination provides an efficient solution to the reduction of radiation to the brain.  The units however suffer from usability issues.  Additionally, this type of unit is most often used with the cell phone either in the user’s shirt pocket or pants pocket.  This leads to radiation emissions to the chest cavity or genitalia.

   4.   Millimeter Wave Technology, Inc (MWT) http://www.mwt-materials.comis a leading US company in the field of stealth technology.  MWT has been manufacturing radar-absorbing materials (RAM) for the US Navy and other customers since the early 1980’s.  During the Gulf War, their RAM protected about 98% of the US Navy boats facing combat duties.  Today, the billion dollar US Navy AEGIS destroyers use exclusively Millimeter Wave Technology’s RAM to ensure their safety and protection when they get into harm’s way.

   As a leading supplier of stealth materials to the US Military and the US government  MWT introduced the Stealth Radar ShieldTM(SRS), the state of the art device for reducing the absorption of cellular phone radiation to the brain. 

   The SRS device is the only device approved by the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M) for reducing radiation to the brain from cellular telephones.

   The Stealth Radar ShieldTM is a unique device developed using advanced radar-absorbing and stealth technology once reserved only for the United States Department of Defense. It actually absorbs radiation emitting from the earpiece areas of wireless phones, and as a result, reduces that radiation up to 98%. By utilizing special materials, the Stealth Radar ShieldTM protects the user from electromagnetic radiation emitted by the earpiece areas of wireless phones.

Benefits of the Stealth Radar ShieldTM:

  •  Reduces up to 98% of RF and microwave radiation emitted from the earpiece.
  •  Utilizes U.S. Department of Defense and advanced military radar-absorbing and stealth technology
  •  Easy to apply and does not require any power source
  •  Does not interfere with phone use or performance
  •  Will last longer than your mobile or cordless phone
  •  Resistant to adverse environmental conditions

   US guidelines limit the Specific Absorption Ratio (SAR) of wireless phones. To view these limits and to find the SAR of your model of cell phone see:

http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/sar/

   When you understand that limits have been set by the Federal Government on phone-emitted radio frequencies (RF), it may be concluded that some risk may exist in the use of wireless phones. Due diligence is required to research all the available information, as to the potential health risks using cellular phones, cordless phones and wireless accessories that transmit RF frequencies. Peace of mind may be realized in using the Stealth Radar ShieldTM. In our home we have 5 cordless phones, two cell phones and two BlueTooth® wireless head sets or ear pieces. All of these devices are covered with this material. It has an adhesive back and you just press it onto the earpiece your phone or device.

Close to actual size

   Many people spend $4-$6 per month for insurance to protect their devices from loss, damage and even for battery replacement. For $9.95 + shipping and the appropriate sales tax for your area, you could protect yourself. Why take a chance that when the results are all in that extended use of our favorite RF emitting devices may be harmful? Why should we stick our heads into a microwave and instead of just popping corn, we’re cooking our brains? This product is an exclusive. If you would like piece of mind for yourself or for those you care about, just reply to post with your name and email address and I will send you the information how to purchase the Stealth Radar ShieldTM.
