Avoid phoning your cells-”cell+phone”
It is not easy for many of us to simply stop using the mobile phone. There may be a significant financial cost related to not being able to communicate via a mobile phone. However, the risks are very real and very serious and one’s health is certainly worth protecting. The cost of using a cell phone is likely much higher in the long-term than the cost of not using one.
Humans have lived and done business for thousands of years without mobile phones. 20 years ago few people had cell phones and 5 years ago there were almost no wireless networks. We all did just fine without them then and can do fine without them now.
How to reduce the risk
- Simply don’t use a cell phone, wireless network or live near a cell phone tower. Don’t stand close to someone who is using a cell phone.
- If you must use a cell phone use it only in places with a strong signal. This allows the phone to transmit at low power .
- Minimize the length of calls.
- If you know where the nearest cell phone tower is don’t put yourself between it and your phone, otherwise the signal travels straight through your head. .
- In your car use a hands-free set , keep the phone away from your body.
- Do not use an earphone if it is made of conductive wire. Studies have shown that a metal earphone wire can act as an antenna and direct radiation into the head from the ear canal. Some earphones now use fiber optic cable or a hollow tube to convey sound.
