CANCER RISK FROM CELL PHONE RADIOFREQUENCY RADIATION

In May, the National Toxicology Program (NTP) of the National Institutes of Health reported partial findings from a
$25 million study of the cancer risk from cell phone radiofrequency radiation (RFR). Controlled studies of rats showed
that RFR caused two types of tumors: glioma and schwannoma. Scientists report that the results “could have broad
implications for public health.”
Otis W. Brawley, MD, chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society said, “The NTP report linking radio-
frequency radiation to two types of cancer marks a paradigm shift in our understanding of radiation and cancer risk.
The findings are unexpected; we wouldn't reasonably expect non-ionizing radiation to cause these tumors.”
According to Dr. Joel Moskowitz, researcher at UC-Berkeley School of Public Health, “The study's results reinforce
the need for more stringent regulation of radiofrequency radiation and better disclosure of the health risks associated
with wireless technologies.”

If you use a mobile phone:
1. Keep it in airplane mode. Program it to operate as a voice messaging device that notifies you every two hours
if you've got messages. (When on, a cell phone will constantly check in with the nearest cell tower to see if
you've got a message—and you will constantly receive EMR-exposure.)
2. Keep mobile devices off in moving vehicles. At every mile, when the phone connects to a new cell tower, it
goes to maximum power. Much of the radiation gets trapped in the car (a metal box) and bounces around.
3. Keep mobile devices out of your bedroom. Don't charge them while you sleep. Don't charge them on walls
shared with your bedroom.
4. Beware of second hand exposure to pregnant women and children.
5. Follow Dr. Jelter's EMR-Reduction Protocol.
