Quick Tips
If you don’t have time to peruse the whole site, and just want the highlights, then this is your page!
Cell Phones
1. Keep cell phone conversations as short as possible and only use your cell phone when absolutely necessary.
2. Avoid holding your cell phone next to your head (ear). This sends microwave energy directly into your brain. Use the speakerphone option or a headset.
3. Do not use a bluetooth (radio frequency) device in your ear. If using a headset, keep the actual phone away from your body.
4. Never carry a turned on (with airplane mode OFF) cell phone in your pocket, bra, or belt. The microwave energy penetrates into your body (and you are carrying it next to some vital organs there).
5. Avoid using a cell phone in cars, trains, planes, subways, elevators, etc. Not only does the phone have to put out more signal to reach the tower through the metal of whatever you are travelling in, but those around you ar ealso exposed to the energy. (You may also wish to distance yourself from those who choose to use their phones in thes areas).
6. Minimize your use of the cell phone in any area where the reception is weak. In order to reach the nearest tower, your phone must put out more energy than when the signal is strong. You are exposed to that extra energy.
7. Whenever possible, avoid using cell phones or tablets to send and receive large files (like movies). They utilize higher bandwidths and thus generate a bigger field. Use wired connections to transfer your larger files whenever possible.
Children and Pregnant Moms
1. Babies and children are developing and should not be exposed to radiation of any kind (that’s a best case scenario).
2. Don’t use a cell phone near a babies head.
3. Limit the use of wireless (WiFi) baby monitors (get wired ones instead).
4. Don’t put a cell phone, laptop or tablet (with WiFi or bluetooth turned on) near or on an expectant mothers stomach or lap.
5. Unplug all unneccessary or unused electronic equipment from around your child.
6. Don’t buy cell phones for pre-schoolers or let them use them as toys.
7. Limit your child and teens cell phone use and teach them how to carry them safely.
Putting it all together:
1. If there are infants and/or young children in the home have the home surveyed for unsafe levels of electromagnetic radiation particularly in the childrens bedroom's and play areas.
2. Arrange bedroom furniture such that no member of the family sleeps with the head of the bed on a wall that is opposite to an electric panel, electric meter, refrigerator, freezer, television, computer, air conditioning unit or any other device that produces electromagnetic radiation during sleeping hours.
3. Never allow a child to use a cellular telephone or a cordless phone.
4. Ensure that all beds in use at night have zero electric field exposure and magnetic field exposure no higher than 0.2 to 0.3 milligauss.
5. Never use an electric hair dryer on a child.
6. Never sleep in a bed with an electric heating pad, electric blanket, or waterbed heater plugged in to a wall outlet.
7. Stand at least one meter (3 feet) from an operating toaster, electric kettle, microwave oven, electric stove, electric oven or toaster oven when immediate attention is not required.
8. Discourage children from hanging around a kitchen when electric appliances are in operation.
9. If cordless devices must be used, recharge them at night and locate the charging units away from bedrooms.
10. Refrain from using cellular telephones in the home.
11. Because of high levels of electromagnetic radiation and long periods of exposure, do everything possible to the home computer and workstation to reduce risks from electromagnetic radiation.
12. Should a fluorescent light fixture be located beneath a child's bedroom or playroom ensure that the fixture remains in the off mode while a child is sleeping or playing in the room.
13. Remove cordless telephones from bedrooms and replace them with corded units and use battery operated clocks and radios.
14. Pregnant women must be diligent not to expose the fetus to unhealthy levels of electromagnetic radiation as a result of their use of cellular telephones, wireless devices, computers and kitchen appliances.
15. Avoid using wireless connections for computer equipment.
16. Upgrade the computer monitor to a flat screen LCD model that produces low levels electromagnetic radiation.
17. Never use a laptop on your lap while it is using AC power.
18. Clear the home of cordless phones, in particular DECT technology, and replace them with corded phones.
19. Avoid the use of beds with metal parts if electrical sensitivity is an issue.
20. Have all lamp wiring converted to a grounded type to reduce electric fields.
21. Substitute electrically operated devices with manual devices as much as possible, for example pencil sharpeners and can openers.
22. Avoid wearing ferrous metals on the body including costume jewelry, key rings, pens, belt buckles, metal eyeglass frames and bras with under wires.
23. Prior to purchasing or renting a home have the neighbourhood and building surveyed for high levels of electromagnetic and wireless radiation.
24. Avoid using a cellular phone in a vehicle without an external antenna.
25. Avoid areas of wireless networking.
26. Have the home surveyed for dangerous levels of electromagnetic radiation due to wiring faults, ground errors, electrical panel faults, dirty electricity and ground current.
27. Substitute a battery-operated razor for an electric model.
28. Remove all electrical wires from under beds.
