This book is packed with advice and
documented studies regarding the science behind electro pollution from cell phones,
microwaves, cordless phones, GPS devices and even your laptop. Signals from
cell phones are proven to reach more deeply into the thinner skull and smaller
brain of a child. If an electronic device picks up a signal- your body and
brain are receiving it also.
The Environmental Working Group, Washington DC reported a link between
radiation from long term cell phone use and an increased risk of brain tumors.
The science shows that a brain tumor can take between 10-20 years to develop.
The author explains how a professional electro-magnetic radiation (EMR) assessment
can be accomplished to measure home exposure from the cordless phone, cell
phones and the microwave oven. The harm
from electro-magnetic radiation (EMR) includes damage to DNA, suppression of
the immune system, leakage of the blood brain barrier and thickening of the blood
in routine tests.
EMR can be thermal and non-thermal. Thermal emissions like those from a
microwave can heat tissue. Non-thermal emissions by most wireless and wired
devices under normal use won't heat tissue. The FCC offers recommendations on cell-phone
emissions and doesn't employ a single health expert according to the author.
Research by Dr. Leif Salford MD at Lund University shows that EMR can cause
leakage of the blood-brain barrier. Children
and teens are 5 times more likely to experience a glioma or brain cancer if
cell phone use starts prior to age 20. When the AC magnetic fields from plugged
in devices measure 1 to 5 milligauss- there is a severe concern.
The microwave oven leaks RF radiation from 3-30 feet and 60 feet for older
models. People should stand a minimum of 15 feet when a microwave oven is in
use. A plugged in clock should be kept at least 6 feet from where you sleep.
The author suggests setting aside up to a half day or more each week to get
away from the house completely.
There is an extensive resource section at the end of the book. Classic
authoritative sources cited are:
* Epidemiology
* The International Journal of Radiation Biology
* The Lancet
* Bioelectromagnetics
* Frontiers in Neuroendocrinology
* [...] and many others
This is an excellent book in every respect and well worth the investment.
