1. Do not buy a cell phone for your child – Malignant brain tumors are the second leading cause of death in children under age 15 and young adults in the United States. RF penetration in the skull of an adult is 25%, in a 10-year-old is 50%, and in a 5-year-old is 75%.
2. Keep cell phones well away from newborns
Children’s skulls are thinner and their brains contain more fluid than adults’. Radio frequencies travel through children’s brains much more easily and therefore increase the risk of cancer.
3. If pregnant avoid using cell phones.
The developing organs of the fetus or child are the most sensitive to any possible effects of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) exposure. RF can penetrate through the placental membrane and can damage the embryo or the developing organs of fetus. A recent study of pregnant women with heavy cell phone use found behavior problems in their children.
4. Keep the handset if possible at least 2 to 7 inches away from your head or use loudspeaker mode.
It decreases the EMR to the brain significantly. You cut your EMR exposure to less than 1% by keeping the cell phone over 18 cm (approximately 7 inches) away from any part of your body.
5. Do not keep cell phones in your breast pocket if wearing a pacemaker- Electromagnetic intereference from cell phone can result in sudden switching off or restarting of the pacemaker.
6. Avoid using cell phones in your pant pocket – as radiation can affect your fertility. Cell phones have a thermal effect that can increase the temperature of the testes and damage the sperm cell. The hip produces 80% of the body’s red blood cells and is especially vulnerable to EMR damage.
7. Keep your conversations to the minimum.
If you need to use the phone for long, use your landline phone. Just a two-minute call on a cell phone can alter the natural electrical activity of the brain for up to an hour.
8. Do not keep the cell phones close to your head when sleeping. Switch it off in the night.
9. Avoid using the wired headsets. If you do use headsets use an air tube headset with ferrite beads. Blue tooths are better as they emit 1/100th the EMR of a normal cell phone.
10. Avoid cell phones usage in ‘metal containers’ like Vehicles, Elevators, Airplanes, Trains and any other type of metal container as it increases the EMR.
11. When buying a cell phone – look for one with a low SAR or Specific Absorption Rate. The lower the SAR number, the better it is. Samsung Eternity SGH-A867 has one of the lowest SAR level, 0.192 out of the available models in the market.
