In essence, your cell phone is a radio. When you talk on your cell phone, your voice is transmitted from the antenna as radio frequency radiation (RFR) between 800 MHz and 1,990 MHz. This frequency falls in the range of microwave radiation and, when you are exposed to it, there may be a chance of health consequences.

Depending on how close the cell phone antenna is to your head, between 20% and 60% of the radiation emitted by your cell phone is transferred into your head. The radiation actually penetrates the area around your head and is absorbed, with some radiation reaching an inch, to an inch and a half, into your brain.

Cell phones are designed to transmit radio waves in all directions because base stations can be located in any direction with respect to phone users. This means that portions of the radio waves they produce are directed towards your body. The diagram of the person and the radio tower illustrates how this can occur.

Potential Health Concerns Caused By Radiation

There have been a number of contradictory reports made as to the overall effects cell phones can have on your health. However, a report in the prestigious medical journal The Lancet, considered the most comprehensive and well-referenced report on this topic to date, warns that the potential problems from cell phones can NOT be dismissed.

Combined with the growing body of evidence we are seeing in addition to this study, the information available today, on the potential effects of cell phones, gives strong support to the notion that cell phones may affect multiple facets of your brain function, behavior and health in general.

Headsets: Not As Safe As You Thought

Since radiation decreases exponentially, (one over the square root over the distance between you and you phone) we thought by using a headset so you could hold the phone away from your body would solve the problem. However, recent investigations tell us that headsets may actually intensify your exposure to harmful EMFs emitted by your cell phone.

Contrary to popular belief, research conducted by British consumer research magazine Which? indicates that hands-free cell phone kits may significantly INCREASE your brain's exposure to radiation. The findings confirmed claims that that using hands-free earpieces in certain positions could more than TRIPLE your brain's exposure to radiation compared to a conventional cell phone call.

By itself, headset can act as an antenna that actually channels radiation to your brain.

Ferrite Beads May Help Block Radio Frequencies

So as you now know, I believe that the danger of using cell phones is very real. I have known of this for a quite some time now but didn't really have great options to offer.

If you are one of the lucky ones that have a cell phone that can work on speakerphone then you already have your solution. You just need to use your speakerphone. Doing so will greatly decrease your exposure to both EMFs and radio frequencies (RF).

However, using a speakerphone can present a problem if you are in a noisy environment or it just isn't convenient to use. If this is a case, you can use a ferrite bead attached to your headset as another option.

While they do not block EMFs, ferrite beads are an effective solution to limit unwanted RF interference, which may help decrease their tissue-heating effects on your brain.
 

What the Heck is a Ferrite Bead?

A ferrite bead is simply a hollow bead or cylinder made of ferrite, which is a semi-magnetic substance made from iron oxide (rust) alloyed with other metals. It is most commonly used with computer cables, where it is slipped over the cable while the cable is being made, or snapped around the cable in two pieces after the cable is made. In a typical computer system, found in a home or office, you will see these "bumps" on the mouse, keyboard and monitor cables.

 

 

Ferrite Beads on Computer Cables

This is picture of a ferrite bead that is commonly attached to the video cable that is typically attached to your desktop computer and then to your monitor. If you examine your computer monitor video cable you will see what the ferrite bead looks like in real life.

 

Ferrite beads work by reducing the RFI (radio-frequency interference) created by these cables. Without the beads, these cables can act as nice, long antennae for the signals they carry. The signals they broadcast can interfere with radios and TVs, causing the sound and/or picture to go fuzzy. The cables can also receive signals and transmit them into the computer, where they cause problems. A ferrite bead eliminates these "broadcast signals." Essentially, it "chokes off" the RFI transmission at that point on the cable -- this is why you find the beads at the ends of the cables.

Ferrite Beads for Cell Phones

In terms of radio frequencies, your brain can literally be viewed as an extremely complex and powerful computer. With this viewpoint in mind, and utilizing your newfound knowledge of the use and function of ferrite beads, it is easy to imagine their potential for use with cell phones.

In essence, using a ferrite bead to eliminate the RFI from a computer cable, or keeping it from disrupting the function of your TV, is similar to using one to help eliminate the RFI from your cell phone that may be disrupting the normal function of your brain.

Here's the bottom line: A ferrite bead is a simple and inexpensive tool that may help you reduce your exposure to cell phone radiation.

How Does A Ferrite Bead Work?

As mentioned earlier, when ferrite beads are used in computer cables, they can either be slipped over the cable before it is covered, or clipped on afterwards.

I predict that as soon as the importance of utilizing this technology for cell phones is appreciated by the industry, ferrite beads will part of most headsets. Until then, however, you will need to use the second option of clipping them onto previously constructed headset wires. The ferrite beads we offer are specifically designed to do just that!

Using the simple instructions described here, the ferrite beads you purchase in our store can easily be used with any headset wire. If you do not yet own a headset, they can be purchased at a special price below, along with a ferrite bead.

As mentioned in this article, cell phone radiation is no laughing matter. I feel so STONGLY about this issue that I have already purchased ferrite beads for my entire staff and family.

I have also priced them here at a DISCOUNTED RATE, so that it is much less expensive to buy this solution for your entire family.

Your Child's Brain: The Most Precious of Them All

In this day and age, the popularity of cell phones and perception amongst the younger crowd that they are "cool," combined with the ease with which they allow you to keep tabs on your children, make cell phones a family necessity. They provide you with an important additional means of protecting your child.

When it comes to the specific protection of your child's brain, however, the value of ferrite beads cannot be understated. As noted in a recent Washington Times article summarized here, your child's brain is particularly susceptible to the potential effects cell phone RFIs and EMFs can create.

USING A FERRITE BEAD IS THE ONLY THING I'VE FOUND THAT MAY PROTECT YOUR CHILD'S BRAIN FROM THE POTENTIAL EFFECTS OF RFI'S IN CELL PHONES.
