Dear Venus,
When I was hiking through the
Andes, I saw people chatting on their cell phones. In Kerala, India, I saw
fishermen call into shore from their boats to negotiate a price for the
day’s catch. They even send pictures!
Cell phones are ubiquitous.
Especially in the third world, they give people that wouldn’t
otherwise be able to afford it access to the internet. And in that way, the
cell phone is one of the greatest inventions of our time.

Can a Flower Make
You Smarter?
Doctors in Europe know about
the incredible IQ-boosting power of a simple garden flower, and use it to
treat millions. Yet in the U.S. it remains nothing more than a flower that
adds color to your garden.
It’s a powerful
brain-booster … one of nature’s most potent antioxidants to
the forgetfulness, brain fog, and confusion we normally associate with
aging. It unleashes your full powers of attention, concentration, and
memory and puts you back in control of your mental function.*

But I’m conflicted about
the health consequence.
A new study from the
Environmental Working Group (EWG) warns that many of the new internet
phones bombard your brain with dangerous electromagnetic waves.1
These waves penetrate your
skull and can double your risk of a brain tumor.2
Back in 2003, the Food and
Drug Administration assured us that cell phones do not cause brain cancer.
Unfortunately, they based their study on only three years of cell phone
use.
But if you use a cell phone
for a decade or more, your risk goes up. Researchers in Scandinavia and the
United Kingdom discovered that people who used cell phones for more than 10
years had a significantly higher risk of developing brain tumors.3
Even more alarming is what
happens to kids that use cell phones.
Young skulls are less than
half the thickness of adults, making it much easier for radio waves to
penetrate and damage the brain. Multiple studies show young children absorb
more radiation than adults do, putting them at high risk for brain
tumors.4
A two-minute call can alter
the natural electrical activity in your child’s brain for one hour.
Multiply this by the average 2,600 minutes a month your child is on the
phone…and you get 22 hours (nearly a day) of unnatural brain
activity.
Wireless earpieces and keeping
the phone in your pocket are not good options. The earpiece relies on radio
waves for transmission – these go into your brain. The phone in your
pocket is emitting radio waves straight to your vital organs, especially
your genitals.
So what should you do? I for
one don’t want to give up my cell phone. And I don’t suggest
you give up yours either. But I do take certain steps to limit my radiation
exposure.
Here’s are some steps
you can take:
- Check what kind of radiation your phone emits. The lower, the
better.
EWG
has an updated list of the best and the worst phones.
- Put your phone in ‘airplane’ mode when you’re
in places you can’t (or shouldn’t) use your phone –
driving, theaters, meetings, and doctor’s offices. This reduces the
number of radiation exposure hours.
- Go ‘hands-free’. The further away your phone is
from your body – the less radiation penetrates you. Twelve inches
(one foot) is the closest you should be to your phone..
- Use a wired head set for all calls – make sure the cord
is long enough so your phone is at least twelve inches away from
you.
- Send text messages instead of calling. Or keep your calls
short.
- And possibly the hardest advice of all to implement…
limit use of cell phones by your children and teens. I tell my son Dylan to
text instead of call. This limits his exposure.
I keep my phone in my desk
drawer while I’m at work. In the car, I keep it on the console. And
when I’m going back and forth, I keep it in my briefcase. And I
don’t use it for long. When I’m going to be on the phone for a
while, I use a landline.
To Your Good
Health,
Al Sears, MD
