1 -
Limit phone calls to those that are absolutely necessary, and
restrict these to 6 minutes maximum, which is the time the body needs
to adjust. Use a hands-free kit and hold the phone more than 20/30cm
away from your body in order to limit the impact of radiation on
yourself.
2 -
Do not carry your phone directly on your body, even
on stand-by, and do not use it less than one metre away from another
person, in order to reduce the effect of 'passive' radiation. .
3 -
Those
under 15 should not use a mobile phone at all because they are still
growing. With their lighter body weight the radiation is more damaging,
especially to the brain, weakening the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB), and
to the reproductive organs/ovaries, etc. .
4 -
Any elderly person
should be discouraged from using a mobile phone, as well as anyone in a
weakened state (the radiation will weaken their organism further), and
any pregnant woman. Microwave radiation is readily absorbed by the
amniotic fluid in which the embryo and then the foetus develops. .
5 -
Use
the phone only in conditions of optimum reception: do not use it in a
confined space such as an elevator, basement, underground station,
caravan, etc. In these situations the strength of the signal both
sending and receiving is much greater thus the radiation is much more
intense.
6 -
Do not use the phone while you are in a moving
vehicle, including the train, bus, etc, since its antenna will be
constantly scanning for contact using the maximum signal strength, and
the radiation from both incoming and outgoing signal will be
intensified.
7 -
Do not use the phone while in any vehicle, even
when stationary. An enclosed metal container produces the "Faraday
cage" effect, which maximizes the damaging impact of radiation,
reflecting not only on the person phoning but also on other passengers,
especially children. Thus it is essential to step out of the vehicle
before making a call. .
8 -
Do not keep a mobile phone beside the
bed at night switched on, because even when on stand-by it is in
contact with the nearest phone mast and emits radiation at regular
intervals. .
9 -
Equip yourself preferably with:
- a mobile
phone with the lowest possible SAR rating (= Specific Absorption Rate
of microwave radiation by human body tissues). The regulation limit is
1.1W/kg for eye-sockets and cheeks.
- a phone with an external
antenna, because even if it is less trendy, the omni-directional
antenna broadcasts with maximum efficiency and therefore uses a weaker
signal than one with an inbuilt antenna. The fashion factor matters
less than the health factor. .
10 -
Use of a mobile phone should
be avoided by anyone who has any metallic object in or on their head,
whether magnetic or not, such as amalgam fillings and dental bridges,
metal plates, screws, clips, body ornaments, earrings or metal framed
glasses. The same is true for those with walking frames, wheelchairs or
metal crutches, so as to avoid increasing radiation by the phenomena of
reflection, amplification, resonance, passive re-emission, etc... .
11 -
Make
use of protective items to shield yourself from radiation, such as a
metal phone carrying case, protective anti-radiation fabric and veils,
metallic foil wallpaper, anti-radiation paint, etc, all which have been
proved to be effective. .
12 -
Make as many phone calls as
possible using landlines which emit no radiation, and which can often
be used for free and for unlimited time via the Internet, even for
phone calls abroad.
