Figure 1: This study definitively demonstrated why children should not be
using cell phones. While the effect seen on adults is less, the radiation
is still significant enough to limit your exposure. |
While the cell phone was invented 43 year ago, it has only been widely used for about 10-15 years. Today, they have become an integral part of modern living. For many people, their lives literally revolve around these devices. The microwave radiation generated by cell phones and WiFi transmitters is supposedly safe, according to government agencies and the telecommunications industry, stating there is no conclusive evidence of health risks, despite warnings which can be found in the device's "Legal Information." In 2011, the World Health Organization, classified cell phone radiation, along with WiFi, as "
possibly causes cancer" (See Figure 2 below). Over
5,000 studies have been published in scientific, peer-reviewed journals, demonstrating the negative biological effects of the electromagnetic fields created by these devices. One effect of extreme concern is on the brain and nervous system.

Group 2B cancer-causing agent 5 years ago. This is the same category
as pesticides, lead, and engine exhaust. |
As the master controller in your body, the brain is arguably the most important organ. As a result, nature has provided extra protection, even from your own blood, by what is called the
Blood-Brain Barrier. This protective structure keeps toxins and pathogens from entering the brain, allowing you to function at your best. Fortunately, this is one of the toughest structures in your body, consisting of high density cells, protecting the brain and the spinal cord. Alarmingly, studies have shown that man-made electromagnetic fields increases the permeability of the blood-brain barrier, allowing leakage of harmful substances into the brain.

Figure 3: As compared to rats, the human blood-brain barrier
is sufficiently similar to consider these findings a warning.
A similar study on humans would likely lead to similar results. |
In 1975, Dr. Allan Frey published a study which demonstrated
"that exposure to very weak microwave radiation (as from a cell phone) opens the blood-brain barrier, after exposure for as little as five minutes." His work has subsequently been replicated by 13 other laboratories, including Swedish neurosurgeon, Dr. Leif Salford, who calls our current overexposure to cell phones and WiFi
"the largest biological experiment ever." Alarmingly, his research also showed that the weaker the radiation, the greater the leakage through the blood-brain barrier. (See Figure 3) Hundreds of other independent scientists have also publicly condemned the mass overindulgence of cell phones, like Dr. Martin Blank, from Columbia University. In his insightful and well-referenced book,
Overpowered, he warns that
"Cell phones generate electromagnetic fields (EMF), and emit electromagnetic radiation.... The many potential negative health effects from EMF exposure (including many cancers and Alzheimer's disease) can take decades to develop. So we won't know the results of this experiment for many years -- possibly decades. But by then, it may be too late for billions of people."
