Cellphones Linked to Brain & Heart Tumors
Since 2011, the evidence linking cellphones to brain cancer has become more convincing.

back in 2011, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified cellphones as a Group 2B "possible carcinogen".
There were two government-funded animal studies that were conducted and the results were published. This research cost $25 million and was conducted by the National Toxicology Program (NTP), which is under the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. It is interesting that the reports significantly downplay the actual findings of the studies.
There are many factors at play here. More and more wireless communications are taking place and if it is accepted that the energies associated with this technology can trigger cancers, how would that impact the gigantic wireless industry?

The NTP research showed an increase in the incidence of tumors of the heart, brain, prostate, liver and pancreas.
The highly respected Ramazzini Institute in Italy, which is a similar agency as the NTP, shows a clear link between cellphone radiation and Schwann cell tumors of the heart.

According to Fiorella Belpoggi, director of research at the Ramazzini Institute and the study's lead author, radiation from cellphones should probably have its classification changed from a "possible" carcinogen to a "probable" human carcinogen.
Will 5G BeWorse?
Wide use of 5G networks may be just around the technology corner. EMF exposure from 5G networks may very well have a much more significant negative impact on human health due to the higher energy levels of 5G over 4G, but health may very well be taking a backseat to profits, greed and convenience.
When is new and improved, just new and not improved?
1. Connect your desktop computer to the internet via a wired Ethernet connection and be sure to put your desktop in airplane mode. Also avoid wireless keyboards, trackballs, mice, game systems, printers and portable house phones. Opt for the wired versions.
2. If you must use Wi-Fi, shut it off when not in use, especially at night when you are sleeping. Ideally, work toward hardwiring your house so you can eliminate Wi-Fi altogether. If you have a notebook without any Ethernet ports, a USB Ethernet adapter will allow you to connect to the internet with a wired connection.
3. Shut off the electricity to your bedroom at night. This typically works to reduce electrical fields from the wires in your wall unless there is an adjoining room next to your bedroom. If that is the case you will need to use a meter to determine if you also need to turn off power in the adjacent room.
4. Use a battery-powered alarm clock, ideally one without any light. I use a talking clock for the visually impaired.
5. If you still use a microwave oven, consider replacing it with a steam convection oven, which will heat your food as quickly and far more safely.
6. Avoid using "smart" appliances and thermostats that depend on wireless signaling. This would include all new "smart" TVs. They are called smart because they emit a Wi-Fi signal and, unlike your computer, you cannot shut the Wi-Fi signal off. Consider using a large computer monitor as your TV instead, as they don't emit Wi-Fi.
7. Refuse smart meters as long as you can, or add a shield to an existing smart meter, some of which have been shown to reduce radiation by 98 to 99 percent.
8. Consider moving your baby's bed into your room instead of using a wireless baby monitor. Alternatively, use a hard-wired monitor.
9. Replace CFL bulbs with incandescent bulbs. Ideally remove all fluorescent lights from your house. Not only do they emit unhealthy light, but more importantly, they will actually transfer current to your body just being close to the bulbs.
10. Avoid carrying your cellphone on your body unless in airplane mode and never sleep with it in your bedroom unless it is in airplane mode. Even in airplane mode it can emit signals, which is why I put my phone in a Faraday bag.
11. When using your cellphone, use the speaker phone and hold the phone at least 3 feet away from you. Seek to radically decrease your time on the cellphone. I typically use my cellphone less than 30 minutes a month, and mostly when traveling. Instead, use VoIP software phones that you can use while connected to the internet via a wired connection.
