Radiation - The Damage We Are Overlooking

Hello readers! I've lately been working on a new blog post, and I think you will really like this one! I've been more active on Twitter recently, as I often tweet about news concerning the ongoing cellphone radiation debate. You can follow me on Twitter here (my username is em_radiation): https://twitter.com/em_radiation. 

In case you are unfamiliar with the radiation debate, the following is a description of what it is, and my current position. Over the past couple of months, more and more people have actively been taking part in a debate about cellphones. I ask you - does cellphone radiation,have the potential to harm us? Is over-usage of our gadgets leading to potential health hazards in our later years? What is your opinion now? 

I can assure you that when you read the truth on this blog, the way you look at the handheld gadgets we use everyday will not be the same.  It is here where I blog my opinions and beliefs on electromagnetic radiation, commonly known as EMR, and other types of radiation as well.  I believe that EM radiation is inherently harmful to us and our world and that we need to take it more seriously - something we aren't currently doing right now.

http://smrt.io/VfNKGL My most recent reading was this article (link to the right). I have been very interested in the development of the radiation debate, and decided to check out the results of various MRI scans on cow brains. The scans - when compared to the human brain - could supposedly show us the potential effect of cellphone radiation on our brains. We already know that it is important that these radiation waves do not interfere with a child's brain, since at a developing age, serious and permanent damage may occur. These scans were no simple scans. As highlighted in the article, "containers of cow brains could help further a consensus on cellphone radiation and brain tumors – with an imaging technique that shows what happens to radiation when absorbed by the brain". 

Well, technology is definitely getting more advanced. It won't be long before we have a comprehensive set of results, and we'll be able to know for sure if it's the cellphones that are causing problems within the brain. So far, there has only been evidence of long term usage issues; however, with a society that grows and becomes more and more dependent on technology (specifically hand-help gadgets) every generation - we'll just have to wait and see. So, you must be asking... What were the results of this study?

"At 500 mW, 1 watt, and 2W, the temperature of the sample area closest to the antenna went up by 1, 3.5, and more than 5 degrees Celsius, respectively. These increases showed up as hot spots in the 3-D images generated by the MRI machine." Oh oh...

Imagine your brain getting hotter by 5 degrees! Five! Long term usage of cellphones isn't something people should be doing. I believe that our bodies were not built to sustain this kind of harm, especially if long term usage means that our body will be under more and more stress as we absorb radiation.

Overall, this cellphone usage issue is a big one. I agree, it is hard to completely give up our cellphones, and I'm not saying that you should. What i do suggest is that we take small steps, together, to try to limit the harm, and stress being put on our bodies in this modern day world. Use protectors/cases for your phones, or use other methods of protection (many are highlighted here in one of my previous blog posts: http://bit.ly/XcrzBK). Evidently, any measure taken is a step towards a goal, and it is better to start now than later, especially because we rely more and more on our hand-held gadgets (that means cellphones!) every day.

I feel that I need to spread this important message. I believe that we need to educate people about this issue before it is too late. What do you feel? Think? Comment down below, I am eager to hear others' opinions. More to come, follow me on Twitter for more frequent updates (@em_radiation).

Radiation in Oshawa apartment causes disease for residents...

http://bit.ly/xjsNCr As if we don't have enough about radiation in our news already. The following blog post is one more great example, if you still think that electromagnetic radiation doesn't exist and causes no harm, that it is an apparent issue in modern society and that we need to take action, better sooner than later. Here's the story: 


Russ Loader and his wife Kathy moved into an apartment on Colborne St. in Oshawa eight years ago. The building was new and clean, and was run by Gateway Community Homes. Then, the happy setting around this story all changed when the couple got their wish to move into a supposedly nicer apartment across the hall, and in doing so, moved into hell. Even though this 'better' apartment looked and sounded nicer, shortly after unpacking, they began to get severely sick. Russ, who has arthritis said, “My feet are size 10; they swelled up to size 14.” Worse, he soon developed gaping sores on his legs, had ballooned ankles and rotted toenails. Kathy said, “I also lost my ankles. I had skinny ankles before we moved in.” On the bottom of her legs, swelling was visible, and didn't look right. Russ, who used to be an amateur runner said, “I had to have home care for a year because of my sores; people thought I was an AIDS patient.”


Obviously, something is wrong here. How can such illness effect such young, healthy members of the community? There has to be an explanation, and of course, there is. The problem was that there was an electromagnetic field under the floor of the apartment! Watch the video below for test results of the floor of the apartment. The EMF is strong enough to light a light bulb!

What I Think
Well, the truth is finally starting to emerge! After all these years, society finally beings to doubt what the industry has been feeding to us for what seemed like an eternity: cellphone radiation is dangerous. I believe that this is, again, just one more example supporting my theory. However, in this case, the problem hasn't been completely solved yet, for once Russ reported the problem to Gateway Community Homes, they "conducted a report" that comes up with results that don't suggest any EMF, and say that it could be coming from the computers in the home. As highlighted in one of my previous posts, any company can easily "conduct a report" and come up with whatever results suit them best, so its safe to say that the company is displaying these results for the sole purpose of maximizing profit. What angers me even more is that Russ then wrote to the Ministry of Health... Who responded to him saying “Unfortunately, your problems lie outside (our) jurisdiction . . . and this ministry is unable to be of assistance.” Finally, when Russ contacted the Landlord and Tenant Board, he got the response he was looking for... almost. The LTB judge was impressed enough with their presentation that he invited himself over to the Loader apartment in order to see the problem for himself. And then he ruled against them. 


So the big problem here? No, not that radiation is unsafe for our society, although that is equally true. What's truly wrong here is that the world around us doesn't accept what's true, and still refuses to believe, after all these studies and radiation being featured in the news, that it is a threat to our health. We need to educate others. Although there are some obstacles in a road to life completely without EMR exposure, people can still manege... even if we only use cellphones once in a while. The thing is, because we have had them for such a long period of time, people are so used to them that they refuse to believe that they are a potential threat. We need to change that.


So what's your opinion? How long could you go without your cellular device? What about your microwave (which also emits EMR)? I myself am living without a microwave, and once you get used to it, it is very easy to adapt (topic of future post). Please comment with your thoughts. Thanks for reading, more to come!

Limiting your EMR exposure - What works for me...

Everyone has their opinion on EMR... By now, you probably know very well that I have a strong opposition against it, but I am still very open to discussion. To every problem out there, including EMR exposure, there is a sure solution, and I would like to review a few affordable alternatives to cellphone radiation exposure here in this post. To me, paying a little bit of my hard-earned cash for protection against future cancer or disease is very well worth the investment.

Behold, the amazing Pong protection cases for Blackberry's, iPhones, and Samsung smart phones. The company that manufactures these cases, Pong, is really dedicated to your health and aims to decrease the SAR levels emitted by your cellphone. These cases work  by taking the EMR the phone produces and directing it away from your face. Although the cases look quite average, they are built specifically to keep the NFI (Near Field Intensity) radiation away from you and your brain. The following is a diagram showing the radiation levels with and without the Pong case in a lab experiment. As you can see, the level of EMR is decreased by over 75% while the case is on the phone. Overall, I think these cases are a cheap alternative to decrease your body's tissue radiation intake, and are well worth the cost. After all, paying $49.99 while it isn't too late is worth spending your senior years with cancer or other brain diseases. Finally, I suggest you take a visit to Pong's website(the link is

Terra Gia Products  Link: Terra Gia

Gia is a great company concerned with health living, and they have four branches: Terra Gia, Aqua Gia, Nutra Gia, and Bella Gia, but today, I am only focusing on the first. The branch Terra Gia has to do with a healthy Earth, focusing in on EMR prevention. They offer several products to reduce EMR exposure, such as the GIAlife Pendant, and the Cell Guard.

GIAlife Pendant

The GIAlife Pendant is a small pendant one wears around the neck or keeps in a pocket, which prevents unnecessary exposure to EMR. One of the major external stressors in our environment is Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs). The GIAlife Pendant employs the proprietary ERT™ technology to provide you with a bio energetic resource to deal with debilitating stress. The GIAlife Pendant is a great way to protect you from all types of EMFs,  and specifically from EMR.

Cell Guard
The Cell Guard is a small, stick-on protection device that you stick to your cellphone. One placed on your cellphone, it catches EMR in your NFI range, to protect your body tissue from absorbing most of the EMR emitted. This sticker can be placed on any type of cell phone, and is a great alternative if you do not want a full case on your smart or cellular phone.

Overall, my main point is that there are many ways to protect yourself from the harmful side effects of EMR. Even though cellphones need to emit EMR in order to work, there are many ways to protect yourself. Do you use any EMR protection products not listed above? What about the items that are listed above? Do they work for you? What's your opinion on them? Let me know by commenting below. More to come, follow me on Twitter (@em_radiation) for more frequent updates on EMR.
