The Electronic Radiation Dangers Around You

The Swiss government and the World Health Organisation share the largest microwave research studies and some of these studies are showing adverse effects.  But what has the Swiss government learned about WiFi that we are unaware of?

Cell phone radiation is mainly limited to the duration of the call.  However, if you live close to cell phone towers you are exposed to constant microwave radiation from the antennas.

This high level of radiation can also be found in our homes, generated by cordless phones, cordless baby monitors and WiFi base stations.  Dr Magda Havas shows us the EMF radiation created by these consumer electronics. 

Don't Kill the Love! Protect Your 'Junk'

This Valentine’s Day, Don't Kill the Love! Protect Your 'Junk'

A Canadian consumer safety group has launched a Valentine’s Day campaign entitled “Don’t Kill the Love” that highlights the damage done to sperm when keeping cell phones in pants pocket.

Citizens 4 Safe Technology (C4ST), a grassroots advocacy group pushing for stricter safeguards on radiation-causing wireless technology, is urging men of all ages to “create a buffer zone between your 'junk' and your mobile devices.”

C4ST released a video that highlights the dangers of radiation for sperm. The video contains footage that replicates the results of a seminal study linking cell phone radiation to a decrease in the number of sperm and their vitality.

“People are in a romantic frame of mind on Valentine’s day,” says Frank Clegg, CEO of C4ST. “It’s the perfect time for couples to decide on some safety precautions for their sperm.”

Infertility among Canadian couples has nearly doubled over the past two decades, according to the 2012 study in Human Reproduction. In 40-50 percent of those cases, the problem is with the man. Poor semen quality is the largest culprit in male infertility.

“The video is funny, but the issue is deadly serious,” says Clegg, former president of Microsoft Canada. “We’re living in a world where electromagnetic radiation—from cell towers, Wi-Fi and of course cell phones—is everywhere. The effects are beginning to show. We want people to do everything they can to stay safe and lead productive lives. In this case, men need to remain vigilant about protecting their sperm.”

Dr. Devra Davis, founder of the Environmental Health Trust (EHT), backs Clegg up. Dr. Davis is an epidemiologist and toxicologist and an expert in environmental health.

Davis was founding director of the Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology of the U.S. National Research Council, National Academy of Sciences and Scholar in Residence, 1983-1993. President Bill Clinton appointed her to the Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board, 1994-99. As the former Senior Advisor to the Assistant Secretary for Health in the Department of Health and Human Services, Davis counseled leading officials in the United States, United Nations, European Environment Agency, Pan American Health Organization, World Health Organization, and World Bank, and served as a member of the Board of Scientific Counselors of the U.S. National Toxicology Program, 1983-86. Davis served as a Lead Author of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change—the group awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007.

Her organization is the only group conducting basic research on the health issues related to cell phone radiation.

“Cell phones are really small microwave radios that have never been tested for safety,” Davis said. “Cell phone radiation can be damaging, but we assume it is harmless.”

With respect to sperm, Davis said, “What we know is that when you take samples of sperm from healthy human males, and you expose them to cell phone radiation at a level that does not induce heat, you significantly reduce the number of sperm. You also increase the amount of DNA damage on those sperm, so they cannot swim as well.”

Work done at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, Davis said, showed that men in their clinic that use their cell phones the most in their pockets have the lowest sperm counts. C4ST’s video was based in part on research done at the Cleveland Clinic, Clegg said.

Davis has written a book entitled Disconnect, selected by TIME magazine as a top pick. It provides shocking detail about cell phone radiation and human health.

C4ST has Five Tips to keep the Love alive this Valentine’s Day:

1. Think with your head. Keep your phone away from it.

2. A little less talk and more action: Replace a phone call with a sexy text message whenever possible.

3. Put a protective barrier between your two favorite things to play with in bed: Your lap and your laptop.

4. If no other option, keep your cell phone in your outside jacket pocket, rather than your pants pocket.

5. If getting romantic this Valentine's Day, put your cell on airplane mode. Don't Kill the Love!

Resonance: Beings of Frequency - A Documentary

RESONANCE is a sensational eye opening documentary which reveals the harm we are doing by existing in an ocean of man made wireless frequencies.

Two billion years ago life first arrived on this planet; a planet, which was filled with a natural frequency. As life slowly evolved, it did so surrounded by this frequency and Inevitably, it began tuning in.

By the time mankind arrived on earth an incredible relationship had begun; a relationship that science is only now beginning to understand.

Research is showing that being exposed to this frequency is absolutely integral to us. It controls our mental and physical health, it synchronizes our circadian rhythms, and it aids our immune system and improves our sense of well being.

Not only are we surrounded by natural frequencies, our bodies are filled with them too. Our cells communicate using electro-magnetic frequencies. Our brain emits a constant stream of frequencies and our DNA delivers instructions, using frequency waves. Without them we couldn’t exist.

This delicate balance has taken billions of years to perfect. But over the last 25 years the harmony has been disturbed. and disturbed dramatically.

Mankind has submerged itself in an ocean of artificial frequencies. They are all around us, filling the air and drowning out the earth’s natural resonance.

To the naked eye the planet appears to be the same. But at a cellular level it is the biggest change that life on earth has endured; the affects of which we are just starting to see and feel.

This documentary explores our bio resonance and it's place in the world.

Electromagnetic Fields and DNA Damage - A Report

Whether or not EMF causes biological effects, let alone effects that are detrimental to human health and development, is a contentious issue.  There are proponents for both sides of the argument.

However, it's appropriate to err on the side of caution and investigate any effects since there is major concern that non-ionizing electromagnetic field (EMF) can cause adverse effects in test subjects and become a contributing factor in cancer induction.

Since the majority of cancers are initiated by damage to a cell's genome, studies have been carried out to investigate the effects of electromagnetic fields on DNA and chromosomal structure.

Additionally, DNA damage can lead to changes in cellular functions and cell death. Single cell gel electrophoresis, also known as the ‘comet assay’, has been widely used in EMF research to determine DNA damage, reflected as single-strand breaks, double-strand breaks, and crosslinks. Studies have also been carried out to investigate chromosomal conformational changes and micronucleus formation in cells after exposure to EMF.
This review describes the comet assay and its utility to qualitatively and quantitatively assess DNA damage, reviews studies that have investigated DNA strand breaks and other changes in DNA structure, and then discusses important lessons learned from our work in this area.
