The Truth about Cellphones and Other Electromagnetic Perils

Over the past hundreds of thousands of years, life on Earth has evolved within certain constraints, such as limits on temperature, pressure and chemistry. Life has also evolved within a certain electromagnetic environment created naturally by the Earth, sun and sources in outer space.
The human body has evolved to become quite sophisticated, with minute electric currents and magnetic fields controlling many processes such as brain chemistry, bone growth, healing and cell adhesion, growth and division. Compared to natural sources, most electrical devices and wireless communication technologies emit powerful electromagnetic radiation, and research has demonstrated that this radiation is having an effect on the functioning of certain processes and systems of the body.
The proliferation of man-made radiation has become a global biological experiment for which there is no control group. It is undeniable that the man-made radiation, now an integral part of the environment, affects our bodies. In the opinion of Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, PhD, Director, Klinghardt Academy of Neurobiology in Boulder, Colorado, "There is really no medical condition that is exempt from being caused or being aggravated by electromagnetic fields." The most common symptoms are of a neurological nature and the milder ones are brain fog, loss of short-term memory, insomnia and chronic pain conditions. More serious conditions are neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis, ALS, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. In the last 20 years we are seeing an overlap into immunology with focus on stress and over-stimulation of the immune system leading to cancer and autoimmune system diseases."
In my recent book, Living Safely with Electromagnetic Radiation: A Complete Guide for Protecting Your Health, I explain why we should be concerned about the health risks associated with cellphones, cordless phones, wireless Internet connections (Wi-Fi) and cellphone antennas. I also describe how our bodies are absorbing unhealthy amounts of radiation, which is leading to symptoms, diseases and even cancer with increasing frequency.
The book explains the controversy in the media and why the government is in denial, but it doesn't stop at theory. It tells you what you can do to protect yourself and your family: Valuable information like conducting a DIY electromagnetic home inspection, tips on buying a safe new vehicle, steps to follow when planning a new home or major renovation and things to avoid when purchasing a new home. Additional important information includes how you can use your cellphone safely, why you should never use a hairdryer on a child and why you shouldn't use compact fluorescent lamps.
