Cell Phone Dangers and Solutions
The current controversies over whether
cell phones cause cancer will likely rage on. Current research clearly
indicates that the predominant concern we should be focusing on is not
if cell phones cause cancer, but rather do cell phones prematurely
exhaust our energetic structure, making us more susceptible to disease,
disorder or chaos. For now, the best solution appears to be limiting our
personal exposure, as well as incorporating the research proven

Nikola Tesla once said... "If you wish to understand the secrets of the Universe, think of energy, frequency, and vibration."
Energy, frequencies, sounds, and vibrations are all around us, even if
you can't hear them, see them or sense them in any way, and they can
have a profound impact on your health. I've written a lot about the
dangers of electromagnetic fields (EMF) in general, and cell phone
radiation specifically, but appreciation for the critical importance of
this science for humans as well as the environment is proving slow, with
tremendous resistance from industries with potential liability.
This will hopefully change in time, thanks to the likes of Martin Blank,
PhD, who spoke at the November 18, 2010 Commonwealth Club of California
program , "The Health Effects of Electromagnetic Fields", co-sponsred
by electromagnetichealth.org.
This event—the largest yet in the United States on EMF &
health--was organized in association with the American Academy of
Environmental Medicine, Citizens for Health, the EMF Safety Alliance,
the Radiation Research Trust (U.K.) and the International EMF Alliance..
Dr. Blank speaks with deep experience and commanding authority on the
impact on cells and DNA from electromagnetic fields, and explains why
your DNA is especially vulnerable to electromagnetic fields compared to
other issues.
Who is Martin Blank, PhD?
Dr. Blank, past president of the Bioelectromagnetics Society, has an
impressive resume backing up his statements on this topic. He has two
PhD's, one from Columbia University in Physical Chemistry, and another
from Cambridge University in Colloid Science. He's an Associate
Professor at Columbia University in the department of physiology and
cellular biophysics, and a researcher in bioelectromagnetics. He
authored the section on stress proteins for the Bioinitiative Report,
and edited the journal Pathophysiology’s special issue on the biological
effects of electromagnetic fields.
In this talk, Dr. Blank explains the science of EMF—how electromagnetic
frequencies impact your cells and DNA. On exposure to electromagnetic
fields, he explains, cells respond as if they are in distress. We see
this through the cellular stress response. This truly is crucial
information, because I'm sure you've heard more than a few people
reiterate the now tired, scientifically disproven, and incorrect
statement that "non-thermal radiation cannot produce a biological
effect."
Dr. Blank lays this and other inaccuracies to rest here with compelling
and credible evidence. There are a lot of bona fide scientists speaking
about this topic, Dr. Blank says, but many of them are speaking without
having the prerequisite expertise within the field. This is important.
Being a "scientist" is not enough here.
Physicists in particular are often introduced as 'experts' to defend the
status quo of EMF's being completely harmless (unless there is enough
power to heat tissue), but as Dr. Blank warns, "the fact of the matter
is they have not read the literature."
The Science is Clear: Non-Thermal Radiation DOES Cause Biological Harm
Dr. Blank is adamant when he says that there IS evidence of harm, and
that the harm can be significant. He also points out that the science
showing harmful effects has been peer-reviewed, published, and that the
results have been replicated, evaluated and "judged by scientists
capable of judging it." Most importantly, researchers now have a fair
understanding of the actual mechanisms causing the damage, which I will
summarize below.
The Spectrum of Frequencies that Surround You
When looking at a spectrum chart of frequencies, you'll find that cell
phones operate in the middle of the spectrum, in the microwave range,
which is a subset of the radiofrequency band. Below microwaves are lower
frequency radio frequencies, and at the bottom of the spectrum you have
'extremely low' frequencies known as ELF, which include frequencies
from electrical wiring and household appliances, for example.
All of these frequencies are within the non-ionizing radiation range,
which means they don't have enough heating effect, or power, to separate
electrons from atoms. Above that, you enter the ionizing frequency
range, which include ultraviolet (UV) rays, gamma rays and x-rays.
Some of these frequencies exist in nature while others, such as
telecommunications frequencies, are man-made and not something our
bodies are adapted to, nor expected to ever adapt to. Just one of the
many reasons why we need to thoroughly investigate the biological
repercussions of broadcasting a range of these frequencies is that
technologies keep transmitting more and denser content, such as audio,
video, data, etc., which can create significant biological disruption
due to modulation of the signals.
Also, higher and higher frequencies are being used, ostensibly because
more information can be transmitted at these higher frequencies. While
various high frequencies are biologically disruptive, understand that
the very low ELF frequencies can also be similarly harmful, such as
electric and magnetic fields. One is not better or worse than the other,
necessarily, but it is the cumulative load of these exposures and the
chronic duration of the exposures that we need to become cognizant of
and protect ourselves against.
And as we'll see below, DNA is reactive across the entire spectrum.
It's quite clear and non-controversial that ionizing radiation causes
significant damage to the human body, including cancer, but certain
physicists are simply wrong when they claim you cannot get any kind of
biological reaction as long as you stay within the non-ionizing range of
frequencies.
These physicists are thinking about what they know well—heating effects
on matter—but it's clear they need to start spending time with the
biologists! And they should certainly not be opining on this subject
until they have read the science on the biological effects of EMF at
non-thermal exposures.
It's true that there's an insufficient amount of energy to dislodge an
electron, "but boy, you can get a lot of biological reactions in the
non-ionizing range!" Dr. Blank says. "And they have been published and
repeated so we know that you can get biological reactions in the
non-ionizing range."
How EMF's Cause Cellular Stress Responses and Biological Damage
DNA, as you probably know, is a molecule that contains genetic
information. However, this genetic information does more than simply
pass traits down to future generations. In fact, this genetic
information is constantly being accessed to maintain optimal functioning
within your body, in response to your environment. As Dr. Blank
explains, your DNA "is constantly at work, making proteins required for
the business of life." The ladder-like structures that make up the
double helix of your DNA represent the chemicals that tie the two
strands together. These structures contain the genetic code, and the
sequence of the bases tells you what kind of molecule is required for
building protein needed.
Some of these proteins are created in response to stress in what's known
as the cellular stress response. You may be familiar with the stress
response in your body, in which cortisol and adrenaline is produced, for
example. But each and every one of your cells has a similar defense
mechanism against stress as well.
According to Dr. Blank, there are about 20 different stress proteins
in nature, called heat shock proteins (HSP), which are used by your
cells to counteract harmful stimulus. Whenever a cell is exposed to an
unfriendly environment, the DNA separates in certain regions and begins
to read the genetic code to produce these stress proteins (HSP).
Therefore, the presence of stress proteins is an indication that the
cell has come into contact with something that is detrimental to its
wellbeing. Essentially, it's your cells' way of saying, "I've
encountered something bad." And, Dr. Blank emphatically claims, "There's
no question cells react to EMF's as harmful." Research has clearly
shown that radiation within the non-ionizing range can cause single-
and/or double-DNA-strand breaks, which cells respond to by creating
stress proteins. Interestingly, researchers have discovered that your
cells do not only react to frequencies in the microwave range, but
across the ENTIRE SPECTRUM of frequencies, from low ELF's and up!
Your DNA Acts as a Fractal Antenna
Dr. Blank compares your DNA to what electrical engineers refer to as a
'fractal antenna.' A fractal antenna is an antenna that can pick up a
range of frequencies across the EMF spectrum. Two additional features of
your DNA that fulfill the requirements of a fractal antenna are that
electrons in DNA conduct electricity, and the fact that the DNA is
coiled within the nucleus. Each of these different coil sizes respond to
a frequency on the EMF spectrum, which explains why your DNA responds
to such a wide range of frequencies. In a nutshell, the human body is
constructed with a fractal antenna inside each and every cell, which
responds to the entire range of frequencies on the EMF spectrum! What
this means is that it would be foolish to focus on just one frequency,
because we are bombarded with ALL of these frequencies, from low ELF's
to microwaves, to ionizing radiation. "And you never know which
frequency will do the most damage," Dr. Blank warns.
DNA
Responsible for EMF Response Identified
In the video, Dr. Blank explains that they have now
identified the DNA that controls the response to electromagnetic fields.
They did this by taking the piece of the DNA molecule responsible for
stimulating one specific stress protein (out of the 20 stress proteins
produced). This particular stress protein is called HSP70.
The long line you see in the photo below is a symbolic representation of
the different parts of the DNA that are part of the promoter—this is
the part of the DNA that gets activated to start the synthesis process.
In his presentation, Dr. Blank explains that the red rectangles are
particular configurations of bases (CT-CT). They found that the section
known as the EMF domain (shown here as the large red rectangle),
controls the response to EMF's. And, by changing that part of the DNA,
they were able to effectively eliminate the EMF response. In short, when
you charge a molecule, you can cause that molecule to break apart. For
example, researchers have shown that a hemoglobin molecule can be made
to break apart by increasing the charge on the molecule. The reason why
the DNA molecule can be made to break apart even though the radiation is
non-ionizing is because of the electrical conductivity inside the DNA
molecule, i.e. the electrons present in the DNA bases can be made to
move. And, EMF's have been shown to cause electron transfer in the
DNA.So, the idea that non-ionizing radiation cannot create a biological
effect has been shown to be completely inaccurate.
Health Hazards Linked to Cell Phone Use
Scientists have found that microwaves transmitted by cell phones and other wireless devices can:
•Harm your blood cells
•Damage your DNA
•Cause nerve-cell damage
•Possibly accelerate and contribute to onset of autism, and trigger Alzheimer’s disease.
•Damage your eyes
•Cause sleep disruptions, fatigue and headaches
•Contribute to salivary gland tumors
•Cause decreased bone density
•Lead to electromagnetic hypersensitivy
•Affect your heart rate and blood pressure
Cell Phones and Brain Cancer
There's also a strong link between EMF exposure and cancer. A review of
11 long-term epidemiologic studies published in the journal Surgical
Neurology two years ago revealed that using a cell phone for 10 or more
years approximately doubles the risk of being diagnosed with a brain
tumor on the same side of the head where the cell phone is typically
held.
Professor Mild, lead researcher of that particular study, also cautioned
that the danger may be even greater than what they found because
cancers need a minimum of 10 years to develop. Since children today are
using cell phones at an earlier age than any previous generation, their
exposure will be far greater over their lifetimes. Because children have
thinner skulls than adults, and their nervous systems are still
developing, children are particularly vulnerable to this type of tumor
and should not use cell phones at all.
Australia has seen an increase in pediatric brain cancers of 21 percent
in just one decade. This is consistent with studies showing a 40 percent
brain tumor increase across the board in Europe and the U.K. over the
last 20 years. Brain cancer has now surpassed leukemia as the number one
cancer killer in children. The BioInitiative Report also includes
studies showing evidence for exposure to electromagnetic fields brain
tumors, acoustic neuromas, and childhood cancers like leukemia.
Steps You Can Take to Protect Yourself and Your Family
In the end, all the evidence points to the fact that our current safety
standards are completely inadequate. Our rapidly expanding wireless
technologies must be properly evaluated, first of all, and the
precautionary principle must be invoked when new technologies emerge.
While you can't completely avoid radiation in today's wireless world, if
you're ready to give up your cell phone, you can virtually eliminate
that one hazard, at least. If you're not prepared to take that step, you
can minimize your exposure by heeding the following advice:
Children Should Never Use Cell Phones
Barring a life-threatening emergency, children should not use a
cell phone, or a wireless device of any type. Children are far more
vulnerable to cell phone radiation than adults, because of their thinner
skull bones.
Reduce Your Cell Phone Use: Turn your cell phone off more often. Reserve
it for emergencies or important matters. As long as your cell phone is
on, it emits radiation intermittently, even when you are not actually
making a call.
Use a Land Line at Home and at Work: Although more and more people are
switching to using cell phones as their exclusive phone contact, it is a
dangerous trend and you can choose to opt out of the madness.
Reduce or Eliminate Your Use of Other Wireless Devices: You would be
wise to cut down your use of these devices. Just as with cell phones, it
is important to ask yourself whether or not you really need to use them
every single time.
If you must use a portable home phone, use the older kind that
operates at 900 MHz. They are no safer during calls, but at least many
of them do not broadcast constantly even when no call is being made.
Note the only way to truly be sure if there is an exposure from your
cordless phone is to measure with an electrosmog meter, and it must be
one that goes up to the frequency of your portable phone (so old meters
wont help much). As many portable phones are 5.8 Gigahertz, we recommend
you look for RF meters that go up to 8 Gigahertz, the highest range now
available in a meter suitable for consumers.
Alternatively you can be very careful with the base station placement as
that causes the bulk of the problem since it transmits signals 24/7,
even when you aren't talking. So if you can keep the base station at
least three rooms away from where you spend most of your time, and
especially your bedroom, they may not be as damaging to your health.
Ideally it would be helpful to turn off your base station every night
before you go to bed. You can pretty much be sure your portable phone is
a problem if the technology is DECT, or digitally enhanced cordless
technology.
Use Your Cell Phone Only Where Reception is Good: The weaker the
reception, the more power your phone must use to transmit, and the more
power it uses, the more radiation it emits, and the deeper the dangerous
radio waves penetrate into your body. Ideally, you should only use your
phone with full bars and good reception.
Also seek to avoid carrying your phone on your body as that merely
maximizes any potential exposure. Ideally put it in your purse or
carrying bag. Placing a cell phone in a shirt pocket over the heart is
asking for trouble, as is placing it in a man's pocket if he seeks to
preserve his fertility.
Don’t Assume One Cell Phone is Safer Than Another. There's no such thing as a "safe" cell phone.
Keep Your Cell Phone Away From Your Body When it is On: The most
dangerous place to be, in terms of radiation exposure, is within about
six inches of the emitting antenna. You do not want any part of your
body within that area.
Respect Others Who are More Sensitive: Some people who have become
sensitive can feel the effects of others' cell phones in the same room,
even when it is on but not being used.
If you are in a meeting, on public transportation, in a courtroom or
other public places, such as a doctor's office, keep your cell phone
turned off out of consideration for the 'second hand radiation' effects.
Children are also more vulnerable, so please avoid using your cell
phone near children.
Use Safer Headset Technology: Wired headsets will certainly allow you to
keep the cell phone farther away from your body. However, if a wired
headset is not well-shielded -- and most of them are not -- the wire
itself acts as an antenna attracting ambient information carrying radio
waves and transmitting radiation directly to your brain.
Make sure that the wire used to transmit the signal to your ear is shielded.
The best kind of headset to use is a combination shielded wire and
air-tube headset. These operate like a stethoscope, transmitting the
information to your head as an actual sound wave; although there are
wires that still must be shielded, there is no wire that goes all the
way up to your head.
As Dr. Blank says, we all have to live with risk, but unless we're
willing to give up the conveniences these technologies provide, we must
at least make accommodations to minimize the inherent risks.
You're bathed in a wide range of frequencies every day, so please, at
least take the above precautions to reduce your risk, and the risk to
your children, who are even more vulnerable to long-term damage.
Dr. Blank ended his remarks emphasizing people must get involved in
raising awareness. "And probably the most important part is the public
education campaign. That is, people must be made aware of this issue.
They must realize that even though they cannot see EMF or feel it, it's
having its effect and that these effects are cumulative, many are
slow-acting, and that you really can't beat it."
