There is no disputing the impact of technology on our everyday lives.  Almost everyone these days is connected to some type of electronic device.  If they are not, they are exposed to some form of technological convenience on a daily basis.  Anything from your microwave, cell phone and computers, use radio frequency waves, which is a form of electromagnetic radiation. The question remains, is this harmful?

Please take the time to watch this startling video segment which just aired on the Australian version of “60 Minutes” about Cell Phones and Brain Cancer. This may be a true “wake up call” for those that still question whether EMR is potentially harmful to your health.

My goal is only to bring you current information on this topic, not to use scare tactics. After all, it is your body, your health and your decision to make, if you feel this is a concern to you.  However, if you or the teenager’s in your home, are always on their cell phone, computer, or plugged-in to some electronic device, you may want to consider some form of protection from EMR.

I certainly am not giving up the use of my cell phone, or the convienences offered by the advances of technology.  However, I do use the biopro chips, throughout my home on electronic devices.  I would rather attempt to be safe, than a sorry statistic.  I hope you agree.

In a prior post entitled, Safety and Cell Phones: What Pregnant Women Should Know, I shared some important information that every one should know.

There is no disputing the impact of technology on our everyday lives.  Almost everyone these days is connected to some type of electronic device.  If they are not, they are exposed to some form of technological convenience on a daily basis.  Anything from your microwave, cell phone and computers, use radio frequency waves, which is a form of electromagnetic radiation.

These waves are the same as those your microwave generates to heat food but at a much lower amount. High amounts of these waves can disrupt body tissues—that’s one reason you wear protective shielding when you get an X-ray. The stronger form of this radiation, such as that used for X-rays, can be harmful to the body, damaging cells and DNA.  It is called ionized radiation. Microwave ovens, cell phones, and other wireless devices also use electromagnetic waves to function, but because the radiation they produce is not thought to damage body tissue, it’s known as non-ionizing. Still, the body absorbs non-ionizing radiation generated from your phone, and these other devices.

Some people are more sensitive to the electromagnetic field and radio frequency waves (RF) than others.  However, here are some signs and symptoms you should be aware of: Constant headaches or pressure in the head, drowsiness, sleep problems, inability to think clearly, rapid heartbeat, high blood pressure, shortness of breath, forgetfulness, burning skin, inner burning, leg weakness, pain in the limbs…and the list goes on. These are just some of the reasons people fight having a cell tower nearby where they live.  The same reasoning holds true, living near a power station or exposure to power poles and above ground wiring.

The next big push in our technological advances, is on June 12, 2009, when we all need to have access to digital TV.  Here is the most recent information you should know about the potential health effects that this may cause. Please take the extra few minutes to read this very important article.

Since my prior post, I have become a consultant for Biopro Technologies.  In my opinion, the very least you should do to protect yourself from the harmful effects of radio frequency waves, is to get the chips,  to break the transmission of the waves into your body.

If you are in need of work, or wanting to make a career change be sure to look at the Biopro Opportunity.  Keep in mind that there are three areas that being a consultant can impact.  The “green” movement is growing and certainly not going anywhere.  Technology is growing and ever changing.  People are and have been paying closer attention to alternative health options in the last five years.  These are just three of the areas that you could impact and influence immediatley.  But, at the very least, protect yourself and your family.

For more information on how you can protect yourself and your children, feel free to contact my friend Katherine, for any questions you may have.  Just tell her I sent you.

It is my hope that you take the information presented here seriously.  After all it is your health and your body, but keep in mind there is  plenty of information we are not meant to know.

A friend of mine sent me information on this very important topic.  The tone of the article pertains to pregnant women, but actually it is important information for everyone.  Kristen J. Gough, wrote this very   informative article, in which she shares results from a new study.  The study suggests that cell phones may pose some health risks to a pregnant woman’s developing baby.  But, before you toss your wireless phone, find out exactly what those risks may by clicking here.

What you need to know at the heart of the debate over whether cell phone use can cause health problems—not just in pregnant women but to anyone—is the way wireless devices work. A cell phone uses radio frequency waves, a form of electromagnetic radiation, to transit messages to and from cell towers. For more information about this, check out what the Food and Drug Administration is saying, just click here.

These waves are the same as those your microwave generates to heat food but at a much lower amount. High amounts of these waves can disrupt body tissues—that’s one reason you wear protective shielding when you get an X-ray. Because stronger forms of this radiation, such as that used for X-rays, can be harmful to the body by damaging cells and DNA, it is called ionized radiation. Microwave ovens, cell phones, and other wireless devices also use electromagnetic waves to function, but because the radiation they produce is not thought to damage body tissue, it’s known as non-ionizing. Still, the body absorbs non-ionizing radiation generated from your phone. According to the FDA, which regulates radiation levels in cell phones, the amount of RF energy your body absorbs “is called the Specific Absorption Rate,” or the SAR level.

What concerns researchers, however, is that the long-term effects of cell phone use are still largely unknown. Cell phones may emit low levels of radiation, but does constant, heavy use amplify the effects of the radiation?

Available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using wireless phones.  On the other hand, there is no proof, that wireless phones are absolutely safe.  Some studies suggest that some biological effects may occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research.

The technology is simple and readily available. To date there are two billion people worldwide that use wireless phones.

What can you do If you are concerned about the potential hazards of cell phone use on your unborn baby, there are steps you can take to minimize your exposure to radio frequency energy (RF).  First of all, don’t do anything that can interfere with your phones signal strength. The harder your phone has to work the more RF (radio Frequency) energy it is putting out.  Use it according to the manufacturer’s suggestions, just as it came out of the box.  No, rhinestone or rubber sheaths.  Use a blue-tooth whenever possible, and keep the phone away from your body, especially your belly, on a waist-clip or in a pocket. Just a few changes can make a big difference.

What I like about the information above , is that a person can look at one thing and continue researching, if you are interested in knowing more.   Another wonderful and highly recommended source that you can listen to or read, is the Electro Pollution Solution by Dr. Sherrill Sellman.
