Are your kids at risk from Cell Phones? is a post from: Stuffworks.com

Scientists are becoming increasingly concerned about the possible impact of cell phone usage on children, because their skull is thinner 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 to protect yourself from the potentially damaging effects of EMF radiation from your cell phone.

When you use a cell phone, radiation energy is emitted from the antenna and absorbed by your brain. Have you noticed how hot your phone feels after a 20-minute call? Just how much energy is being released? Take our Quick 1 minute quiz to find out!

5 Ways to Help You Minimize the Affects of Cell Phone Radiation

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

1. Use your cell phone on speakerphone. While this is a great solution and I strongly recommend it, it’s simply not practical much of the time. Especially if you are in a public place where rules of discretion and proper etiquette prevail. Another problem is that not all cell phones have speakerphones — and even those that do may have poor sound quality. I do recommend that if you are choosing a new cell phone, make sure it comes with a speakerphone option.
2. Keep your phone as far away from your body as possible. There’s a dramatic drop-off in radiation exposure for every inch you keep your phone away from your body.
3. Get yourself a Cell Phone EMF ADF Filter. In my opinion, the ADF filter by Quantum Nutrition and Research is the best EMF Filter on the market. It does not reduce the EMF or EMR radiation that the phone produces, only filters it to reduce its biological affects. Purchase an ADF Filter Here…
4. Limit your cell phone use to the bare minimum. Your cell phone is constantly searching for signals and emitting EMR while you’re using it.
5. Turn off your cell phone when not needed OR keep it a few feet away from your body. Even when not in use, as long as your phone is turned on, it continually emits EMR as it connects to its base station.

Bluetooth wireless headsets are even worse than regular ones. Why? Because the wire is replaced with a transmitter and receiver operating with low power at frequency levels between 900 MHz to 2.4 GHz.

The maximum frequencies for wireless products compliant with Bluetooth specifications are 2.497 GHz. The frequency power of wireless headsets rivals that of microwave ovens, which also operate at 2.4 GHz.

And, while in a few cases emission may be lessened by the use of a cell phone headset or earpiece, it may not reduce radiation enough. This means that even a product that offers up to 70 percent reduction in EMR is not nearly as effective as it seems. Purchase an ADF Filter for your Cell Phone Here…
