detailed explanations

 

Advice #1:

 

Never hold your cellphone directly to your head when talking.

Instead use the speaker function, or an air-tube headset.

Especially for longer calls.

 

For healthier cellphone use, distance is key. The near-field of an antenna is most critical to our health because of the high intensity of the radiation in close proximity to the antenna, because the background field distortion is strongest in close proximity to the cellphone and because the highly relevant Scalar Waves appear to be present particularly in the near-field.

 

The waves' energy intensity decreases exponentially with distance. Moreover conventional physics can't conclusively explain what happens in the near-field of the antenna before the wave is formed and detectable in the far-field. There seem to be field vortexes present particularly in the near-field, which are biologically reactive – so-called Scalar Waves. These waves are highly relevant because they are used for communication processes within biological systems – e.g. between cells, in the central nervous system and within our DNA. Therefore artificial Scalar Waves can directly interfere with our bodies on many levels and they can cause several types of dysfunctions.

 

To protect your brain it is essential that you keep as much distance to the transmitting antenna as possible, for example by using the speaker function of your phone or using a headset. Preferably you should be using a special air-tube headset for the reasons described in Advice #3.

 

 

Advice #2:

 

Don't sleep with a switched on cellphone in the room!

 

Along with Advice #1 this is likely the precaution that has the most beneficial impact on your health.

Our sleep is the time for regeneration and repair. Cellphone radiation and electrosmog, like any kind of pollution, are a subliminal, but constant burden to our immune system. If we are fit and healthy, our bodies tend to be strong enough to compensate and adapt to the constantly increased stress levels in our cells, but in the long term this stress accumulates and at some point climaxes, if we don't give our body the chance to relax and regenerate. This regeneration happens during our sleep. Avoiding exposure to artificial electromagnetic fields (including artificial lights) as much as possible during the night should therefore be a primary concern.

 

Keep in mind that your cellphone constantly sends signals even if it is not in use (see Advice #6).

 

The above equally applies to WiFi.

 

 

Advice #3:

 

Don’t use Bluetooth headsets, or regular wired headsets!

 

Obviously you should not be using a Bluetooth headset, because it emits radiation that is similar to that emitted by your cellphone (in a slightly higher frequency) and the Bluetooth antenna generally sits right in your ear.

 

Regular wired headsets should also be avoided, because the wires of a standard headset are usually not well insulated and can act as antennas and collect electromagnetic signals from the environment (induction of Faradic Currents). These signals are then delivered into the earpiece along with the signals carrying your data. As a result electromagnetic fields radiating into your ear canal and brain intensify. Moreover, a headset produces sound with very strong Neodymium magnets. In regular headsets these magnets sit right in the earpiece and therefore expose your brain to yet an other field - a constant and very strong magnetic field (up to 1000 Gauss).

 

Air-tube headsets gallantly solve all these problems. See here.

 

 

Advice #4:

 

Don’t use your cellphone when connection is low!

 

When your cellphone has a low signal because you are far away from the next base station (cellphone tower), or within a so called Faraday Cage, like for example your car or an elevator, it automatically transmits at higher power levels in order to increase signal strength. This significantly increases the field strength and therefore the amount of harmful radiation absorbed by your body tissue and organs. For that reason try not to use your cellphone at all when connection is bad and rather stick to texting. If a phone call can’t be avoided, make your conversation as short as possible, while definitely applying Advice #1.

 

 

Advice #5:

 

Avoid letting children use a cellphone and keep distance from babies!

 

Babies and Children are much more negatively affected by cellphone radiation than adults, because their skull structures are thinner and therefore their brains absorb much higher amounts of radiation. Moreover their central nervous systems are still developing and signal-interference and dysfunctions caused by electromagnetic radiation can therefore have much more serious and possibly irreversible consequences for their development. Avoid letting children have cellphones and if that's not possible instruct them on how to minimize radiation exposure and equip them with the available protective measures.

 

Stay away from babies and pregnant women when making a call! Expecting mothers are advised to limit their cellphone use to a minimum.

 

That cellphones are no toys for toddlers to play with should be obvious.

 

 

Advice #6:

 

Don’t carry the cellphone in your pants' pocket, in your bra, or otherwise close to your body!

 

Your cellphone is constantly sending and receiving signals even when you are not using it. This exchange of information takes place mainly between the base stations of your network provider (cellphone towers) and your cellphone in order to track the location of the cellphone in the network. To ensure stable and high connection wherever you are, your cellphone automatically registers with the nearest base station as you move through the network, but also if you are stationary, data is being exchanged constantly every few seconds. So even if you don’t use the cellphone it is always emitting and receiving electromagnetic signals that are partially absorbed by your body tissue and interfere with your biology. This information is especially relevant for people who tend to carry their cellphones close to their private parts.

 

 

Advice #7:

 

Don’t use your cellphone in a moving vehicle!

 

When you are in a car, bus, or train there are two factors that increase the radiation emitted by your phone. Firstly, you are sitting in a Faraday Cage, which reduces signal strength and forces the phone to transmit at a higher power level. Secondly, a cellphone network is divided into several cells, where certain base stations cover specific areas. When calling from a moving vehicle you are likely moving from one cell to the next several times during your conversation. This means that your phone has to send additional registration data to the base stations in order to connect and disconnect from the respective cell. This increased data transmission obviously causes increased radiation emitted from your phone.

 

 

Advice #8:

 

Keep your phone away from your head and body when it is connecting, sending and loading a web page!

 

The electromagnetic field strengths are the highest when your cell phone is connecting. If you don’t want to use the speaker function, or an air-tube headset, at least hold the phone as far away from your body and head as possible while the connection is being established. The same applies to text messaging and web browsing. Hold the phone away when it is sending or loading a web page. It is quite self-evident that radiation is the highest when the amount of data transmitted is highest.

 

 

Advice #9:

 

Switch off Auto Sync, WiFi and Bluetooth function when not needed!

 

This relates to Advice #6, as when switched on, these functions cause your cellphone to constantly transmit unnecessary data packages to look for potential new networks and syncs every few seconds.

 

 

Advice #10:

 

Limit your cellphone use in the evening hours before sleep and/or reduce the blue light emitted by your luminous display!

 

Short-wavelength optical radiation, or simply blue light is highly relevant for the melatonin secretion in the pineal gland and has therefore a direct effect on the circadian rhythm (wake-sleep-cycle) and on immune system function. It is a natural part of the Sun's light spectrum and it is perfectly fine and even required to be exposed to it during the day. When exposed to blue light at night however, it causes havoc.

 

Luminous displays of cellphones, TVs and computers have to emit blue light in order to produce white light on the screen. Therefore using a cellphone, tablet, TV, or computer at night messes with melatonin secretion, if the blue light is not filtered or blocked.
