user alert: cellphone radiation
Cellphone and wireless device radio frequencies have come under media scrutiny yet again recently as the American Federal Communications Commission, an independent agency of the United States government which oversees broadband, competition, radio frequencies, the media, public safety and homeland security, has recently announced end-March an initiative to review the industry standards limiting exposure to radio frequencies.
The controversial part of this story is that they will likely recommend an increase in the acceptable amount of exposure to 2 watts per kilogram, roughly the same standards held by the EU. The rate at which energy is absorbed by the body when exposed to RF is referred to as the specific absorption rate, or SAR. The current standard is 1.6 watts per kilogram.
There has been increasing public concern over risks of health damage with increased exposure to such radiation.
This is in part due to the lobbying efforts of powerful groups like Environmental Health Trust and the BioInitiative group who often cite the following reports in their arguments
There are also numerous studies associating cellphone usage with cancer, reproductive disorders, brain dysfunction and DNA mutations.
With 5 billion cellphone subscribers worldwide, cellphone risk is important to investigate. And if it truly is dangerous to us, the FCC should lower the acceptable SAR threshold and not raise it.
Even before more definitive research is out, many products like cellphone covers or laptop pads that claim to deflect or block radiation are already out on the market.
If you're still on the fence about the whole issue. Here are some safer than sorrier tips from Vivian Liu, a user and distributor of Pong and Hara pad, cellphone covers and radiation blockers with SAR blocking capabilities:
1) Text instead of placing a voice call
2) Carry your phone at least 1 inch from your body (making sure the antenna is facing away from you)
3) If you're pregnant, you should avoid carrying a phone next to your abdomen.
4) Children, who have smaller and thinner skulls, should limit cell phone use,
5) Do not sleep with an active phone next to the bedside or under the pillow.

- In 2011 the International Agency for Research on Cancer (or IARC), which is part of the World Health Organization classified cell phone radiation as “possibly carcinogenic.”
- Certain epidemiologic studies (mainly from a single group in Sweden) indicate an elevated risk of glioma (the most malignant type of brain cancer) in long-term users of cell phones.
- Some laboratory studies indicate that exposure to RF at typical levels can have serious pathologic effects, including effects on the blood-brain barrier and on the integrity of DNA.

anita's tips to minimize manmade radiation exposure in the home
According to Anita Zou, a geobiologist/feng shui practitioner, the home environment is fraught with danger.
Water pipes and electrical currents running above or below people's beds or work areas expose them to the risk of ionizing radiation in the body.
Something as harmless as water when rushing at great speeds near a person creates a concurrent magnetic effect on the body and can cause inexplicable tensions in a healthy person. Here are Anita's tips to deflect such tensions in the environment.
1. DO use crystals to reflect the radiation and tensions in your immediate surroundings. All Crystals have a diffracting effect which render harmful radiation harmless.
2. DO NOT sleep with wires hence electric currents running across or under the bed. This includes not sleeping next to a fridge or any electrical appliance.
3. Try not to sleep on metal eg coiled spring mattress as these act like piercing nails on the energetic body.
Anita Zou offers customised consultations and prescriptions for the minimisation of exposure to radiation in the home. You can consult her if you suspect that radiation or bad fengshui or secret water and electric currents in the home are increasing your risk for ill-health at home.

food cure for radiation
Studies have shown that grapes can protect against many forms of radiation. If these articles have left you queasy, and it's too late now, incorporate more grapes in your diet!
