How Airtube Headsets Can Protect You from Cell Phone Radiation

An airtube headset can be a valuable tool to protect your brain from cell phone radiation. Brain cancer is on the rise as is cell phone use.

An airtube headset is a headset that attaches to your cell phone or cordless phone. It has a wire like many headsets. At the end of the wire is a small speaker and then a 6 inch long tube. This tube works a lot like a stethoscope.

This tube serves to provide a gap between the transmition of radiation from your phone to your head.

Holding your phone to your ear allows the radiation from your phone to enter your head through the soft tissues of your ear. Over time, this can make you more susceptible to brain cancer. In the short term it can cause headaches, attention disorders, changes in your brainwaves, and sleep disorders.

A regular wired headset allows the radiation from your cell phone to travel up the wire to your head. Additionally, it can act as its own antenna, grabbing up radiation from the environment and directing it at your head.

An airtube headset does not allow this to occur. Because of the air gap, any radiation that travels from your phone or the environment up the cord of your headset is dispersed before it reaches your head and sensitive brain tissues.

This can effectively reduce the radiation to your brain to zero.

Bluetooth and other wireless headsets are NOT safe. Microwaves generated by the mobile phone are wirelessly transferred and directly transmitted into the ear canal and surrounding head region by the blue tooth device.

Airtube headsets are the safest way to talk on your wireless phone. They are inexpensive and work great.

Children's Health Risk is High from EMFs and Cell Phone

The Russian Government has issued a health warning regarding cell phone use in children. The Russian National Committee on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection has produced a statement that "the potential risk for the children's health is very high."

The Russian Ministry of Health has previously recommended that children under 18 not use mobile phones.

Their report states the following:

"─ the absorption of the electromagnetic energy in a child’s head is considerably higher than that in
the head of an adult (children’s brain has higher conductivity, smaller size, thin skull bones,
smaller distance from the antenna etc.);
─ children’s organism has more sensitivity to the EMF, than the adult’s;
─ children’s brain has higher sensitivity to the accumulation of the adverse effects under
conditions of chronic exposure to the EMF;
─ EMF affects the formation of the process of the higher nervous activity;
─ today’s children will spend essentially longer time using mobile phones, than today’s adults will."

"According to the opinion of the Russian National Committee on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection,the following health hazards are likely to be faced by the children mobile phone users in the nearest future: disruption of memory, decline of attention, diminishing learning and cognitive abilities, increased
irritability, sleep problems, increase in sensitivity to the stress, increased epileptic readiness."

A child's scull and tissues are significantly softer than those of an adult. This results in a greater penetration of electromagnetic and rf energy into their brains, causing a greater disruption of their nervous system.

There is not enough awareness about how harmful exposure to cell phone radiation can be for children.

SAR is Not a Good Measure of Cell Phone Safety

The Specific Absorbtion Rate (SAR) is the standard used to measure how safe a cellular phone for your body. SAR measures heating or thermal radiation. In other words, how hot your mobile phone gets while you are talking on it.

These limits are only for non-ionizing radiation like heat, and do not take into account ionizing radiation levels such as those from electromagnetic fields (EMF), power frequencies (ELF), and radiofrequencies (RF).

Blood tests and studies of DNA have shown that emf such as that emitted from mobile phones causes DNA damage. This cellular damage can result in varieties of health problems including stress, headaches, tension,sleep disorders and even cancer.

SAR, the safety standard assumes that EMF causes biological damage only by heating,
but cell damage occurs in the absence of heating and well below the safety limits. It is high time that the government reexamine their safety standards for wireless phones and do something to protect the health of the public.

Study Shows Teenagers With High Cell Phone Usage Can't Sleep

A study presented at the Associated Professional Sleep Societies annual meeting in Baltimore this month has shown that teens who are stuck on their cell phones have difficulty sleeping at night.

This information, released from a Swedish study found that young people who spend a lot of time on their cell phone are characterized by higher stress, fatigue, and tend to be sleep deprived. The research showed a very strong correlation between mobile phone usage and sleep difficulties.

Why You Should be Worried About Cordless Phone Radiation

While there is a lot of awareness about cell phone radiation being dangerous and having the potential to cause a variety of cancers and brain dysfunction, there is really very little information regarding the safety of cordless phones.

The base stations of cordless phones in your home are continuously emitting pulses of radiation, even while the handset is not in use. The level of the radiation is comparable to the intensity of radiation found in a home that is near a cell phone base station or in the area of a broadcast tower.

This level of radiation can be measured at this high intensity in a radius of approximately 9 feet from the base of the cordless phone.

This is particularly dangerous to people that have a cordless phone on their nightstand next to their head at night.

Though Cordless Phones emit less radiation than cell phones and are generally safer, conversations on a cordless phone generally are of a longer duration. Given that they are constantly emitting radiation, the low level could prove to be an even larger, cumulative danger.

The safest method of communication remains a corded telephone. Telephones with a cord do not emit radiation and are the most healthy for you and your home environment.
