"Does a Cell Phone's Radiation Effect Stop When the Call Ends?"

s innovative and popular as it is, the iPhone may well be one of the worst offenders, for a number of reasons.Even when you’re not using your iPhone but have it on, it still operates as a base station, transmitting radiation to you.Further, iPhones tend to get a great deal of use due to their amazing plethora of applications, which increases your risk.Data waves from your iPhone substantially affect your biology, altering intercellular communication. But, iPhones aren’t the onlyoffenders. Though they may not act as base stations, every phone still has to connect to a base station. As long as your phoneis turned on, it continually emits EMR in an attempt to connect to that base station.There’s something much more serious to think about though.

Find a Safer Cell Phone

In your effort to create the safest cellphone conditions for yourself and your family, consider opting for cell phonesthat emit lower amounts of radiation. Youcan get anextensive list of phones, their providers, and how much EMR theyrelease.Please note that I don’t recommend thisas an

exclusive

solution, but as one stepyou can take to reduce your risk.

Consider Passing on the Cell Phone(for Your Children and Teens, Anyway)

But first I want to ask you to consider

not

consenting to let your children and teens have a cell phone at all. Or at a minimum toonly use it in extreme emergencies.Scientists are becoming increasingly concerned about the possible impact of cell phone usage on children, because their skull isthinner and their brain is still developing, compared to adults. It's not until around age 20 that a child's brain is fully developed.Even as an adult who values optimal health, you should consider steps toprotect yourself from the potentially damaging effects of EMF radiation fromyour cell phone.When you use a cell phone, radiation energy is emitted from the antenna andabsorbed by your brain. Have you noticed how hot your phone feels after a20-minute call? Just how much energy

being released?Since that's one of your quiz questions, let me give you the quiz answers rightnow: 1. C 2. A 3. C 4. C 5. ASo, seventy percent of the energy from the antenna is being absorbed straightinto your head.

Effects Seen in Thermographic Imaging

Now for the first time, through the use of thermographic imaging, scientists can see the changes take place internally after just a15-minute phone call.Instead of dominant 'cool' blues and greens that show when you're not influenced by cell phone radiation, after 15 minutes of celluse they see reds, yellows and oranges which graphically display internal heating of your tissues and cells.How damaging can this be?The jury is still out... but many physicians and scientists are suggesting the heavy use of cell phones may be a serious healthrisk. They are now urging people to use a headset to keep the antenna away from the brain.Time will tell whether there is any 'safe' limit for cell phone use.Until recently scientists believed that cell phone-related interference with brain waves and brain chemistry ended when the callended. Now they know it can last for up to an hour.

How Much Time Does

Your

Child Logon Their Cell Phone?

When you realize that the average child is using their cell phone for a whopping 2600 minutes (more than 43

hours!

) per month --and their tissues and cells are being heated up during all those calls...Well, you be the judge...Let's just say that I would do

everything

in my power to protect my child's brain development and long-term health so they havethe future they deserve and the future you can be proud of.As their loving parent, I'm sure you agree with me.And being passionate about my own health, I also knew I wanted to protect myself and other adults from potentially dangerouscell phone radiation -- even as much as I love the convenience of cell phone technology.

That's why I knew I had to take matters into my own hands.For the last ten years, I've been convinced that cell phone radiation is a real concern for all of us. That's why I first introduced theRF3 Headset to help you minimize your radiation exposure.However, as time went on, I realized that some improvements could make the RF3 Headset even better -- and more convenient touse. And that's exactly what I asked my team to do.A few issues that I challenged my team to improve on were:

Poorly designed earpiece

-- mine occasionally came loose and I had to glue it back in place.

Annoying constantly tangled cord

-- this wasted loads of time, as I would have to unknot it nearly every time I wanted touse it.

Awkward earhook design

-- earhook configuration was frustrating and difficult to adjustWell, my team came through in flying colors and upgraded the

Blue Tube Headset -- an improved RF3 with enhancedAircom

™

2 technology.

But before I get into more details on this new and improved headset, here's what's behind my decision to use one in the firstplace...

Cell Phone Radiation -- A Growing Concern

The first cell phones were introduced in 1984.By 2004, we reached one billion cell phones. It only took EIGHTEEN months to reachthe second billion. But wait it gets far worse: it only took NINE months to reach the thirdbillion. And to get to four billion cell phones? Only SIX months!Cell phone use is pervasive.That makes your personal use even far more of a concern. Why? Your total radiationexposure is rapidly increasing -- even if you don't use a cell phone. And when you addyour personal exposure, it only compounds the problem.The emission of EMR (electromagnetic radiation) from cell phones continues to becomea growing concern. However, you'll not hear the large wireless corporations or the federal government publicly talking about cellphone EMR emission issues.Why? Big-time profits linked to large powerful corporations. Sound familiar?

Why You Won't Catch Me Using My Cell Withoutan EMR-Reducing Cell Phone Headset

Before I became educated on this issue, I used my cell phone regularly and thought that my off-the-shelf headset minimizedEMR emissions. However, I eventually discovered that:Cell phones emit a radiation plume.Most cell phone headsets have a wire that can act like an antenna, and simply make matters worse.A great deal of scientific data has been suppressed by the cell phone industry and the government to protect their mult

-billion dollar profits.

Now I simply refuse to talk on any cell phone

unless

I am using a speaker phone or headset designed to reduceradiation

.In fact, as you already know, my team and I improved the

Blue Tube Headset

that comes with my full recommendation.Getting rid of your cell phone is probably not an option these days. Today's cell phones are much more than phones. They canalso be your camera, video recorder, hand-held computer, and your lifeline to staying in touch with your work and family.So, how do you continue to use this convenient device and reduce cell phone radiation?

5 Ways to Help You Minimize Cell Phone Radiation Emissions

Here are some sound solutions that can help minimize the EMR your phone emits:

Use your cell phone on speakerphone.

While this is a great solution and I

strongly

recommend it, it's simply not practicalmuch of the time. Especially if you are in a public place where rules of discretion and proper etiquette prevail. Another 1.
