In recent years, there have been repeated discussions about the radiation emitted by cell phones and the associated health risks. Various studies have now been published on this topic. Various trends can be observed at a political level.
According to a report on heilpraxis.net, researchers found that high exposure to radiofrequency radiation appears to be associated with tumor activity. In their study, scientists from the National Toxicology Program (USA) found that high exposure to radiofrequency radiation in male rats leads to tumors in tissues around the nerves in the hearts of rodents. This has reignited the debate about the possible cancer risks of cell phone radiation.
Tumor formation in rats
Radiofrequency radiation (RFR) led to the formation of tumors in male rats, but not in female rats or mice. The exposure levels used in the studies were equal to or higher than the highest level allowed for local tissue exposure to cell phone emissions. However, cell phones normally emit lower RFR values than the maximum permissible values, the experts explain. The extent and duration of exposure to RFR in the study was much greater than the exposure to which people are exposed through cell phone use. “So these results should not be extrapolated directly to human cell phone use,” explains Dr. John Bucher in a press release on the study results. However, it was found that the tumors found in earlier studies were similar to those of intensive cell phone users, the expert adds.
High-frequency radiation nominated for investigation
The NTP studies also looked for a number of other adverse health effects in rats and mice, including changes in body weight, signs of tissue damage from RFR-induced heating, and genetic damage. The researchers noticed a lower body weight in newborn rats and their mothers, especially when they were exposed to high RFR levels during pregnancy and lactation. However, it should be noted that these animals grew to a completely normal size. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has nominated cell phone radiofrequency radiation for investigation because of the widespread use of cell phones. The FDA and the Federal Communications Commission are jointly responsible for the regulation of wireless communication devices in the USA.
France: Reduction of radiation exposure
France is identifying places with excessive mobile phone pollution, as diagnose-funk.org reports. According to the French Mobile Telecommunications Act of 2015, locations with “extremely atypical exposure” must be reduced to “1 V/m if possible” (=2,650 µW/m²) within six months. This means that either the transmission power must be reduced or certain “mobile radio technologies” (i.e. UMTS or LTE) or a sector must be shut down (although the ICNIRP limits* are complied with everywhere).
Increase in limit values?
Not so in Switzerland: at its recent meeting, the Council of States’ Committee for Transport and Telecommunications narrowly decided by 7 votes to 6 to table a motion in parliament to increase the limit values. This is reported by the umbrella organization Elektrosmog Schweiz und Liechtenstein on funkstrahlung.ch on its website. The umbrella association criticizes that the powerful mobile phone lobby is continuing its coercion after the mobile phone lobby failed with a similar request in parliament around a year ago. “People have learned from this and are now mainly relying on economic scaremongering based solely on fake news from mobile phone providers,” says funkstrahlung.ch. The mobile phone providers are therefore demanding massive reductions in the limit values so that they do not have to design their risky, outdated concepts and technologies in a way that is compatible with health. They simply want to save the costs. This type of behaviour is known from the automotive industry, for example, and has been exposed as mere profit maximization at the expense of public health. In Switzerland, an initiative is now calling for radio mast-free zones, just as there are smoke-free zones (see 20 Minuten report). Entire areas without antennas – this is the dream of the interest group (IG) from Hadlikon in the Zurich Oberland. It wants there to be no more mobile phone antennas in selected Swiss residential areas. On February 8, the IG submitted a corresponding petition to the Federal Council and Parliament.
Increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease
New studies repeatedly point to the danger of mobile phone radiation. The study by Huss, Peters and Vermeulen examines the connection between occupational exposure to low-frequency magnetic fields and the risk of ALS, according to a report by the German Professional Association of Electrobiology (BEB e.V.). Overall, a slightly increased risk of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis was observed in workers with a higher exposure to low-frequency magnetic fields compared to a lower exposure (RR 1.14; CI 1.00-1.30) in workers in electrical occupations (RR 1.41; CI 1.05-1.92). A meta-analysis examined the relationship between occupational exposure to low-frequency magnetic fields and the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Twenty studies were analyzed by the research team Jalilian, Teshnizi, Röösli and Neghab in the period from 1995 to 2017. The observation period covered the years 1950 – 2015 in various countries. As a result, the authors found an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease in employees with occupational exposure to low-frequency magnetic fields.
Generate a harmonic oscillation field
How can you protect yourself from high-frequency radiation and electrosmog? “The law of resonance states that no resonances can occur in an oscillation field with oscillations whose frequencies lie outside those of the field,” says Richard Neubersch, owner of Swiss Harmony in Grellingen, a company that specializes in the harmonization of electrosmog. In other words: In a harmonic oscillation field, artificial radiation has no effect, regardless of who generates it, whether it comes from a neighbor or a nearby mobile phone mast. The mobile products from Swiss Harmony (BioRing, BodyCard, BioBracelet and the BioPatch) harmonize the human body by transmitting the harmonic vibration as information to the human energy system. This means that artificially created radiation fields can no longer resonate.
Protection from harmful radiation
In concrete terms, this means Products from Swiss Harmony for harmonizing houses and apartments ensure that the electricity that supplies a building with electricity receives a different message. “They transfer the information of the visible light spectrum to the passing current via the resonance path, which in turn distributes it throughout the entire effective range of the circuit,” explains Richard Neubersch. The electromagnetic field of the apartment or house thus becomes a harmonious field. In-house WLAN transmitters, cell phones or cordless phones are interference-free because they are connected to the harmonic current field and therefore emit the same harmonic information.
