Health Kick: The truth about mobile phones?


Source

I just watched a rather scary documentary about the possible effects of electromagnetic radiation on our bodies and the world around us. The collapse of bee colonies, an increase in cancers and diseases and a whole host of other negative trends have been linked to an ever-increasing number of mobile phones, wireless telephones and the phone masts which now seem to be popping up everywhere (you can check out your home town's mast count here).

Here are a few interesting things I learnt from this documentary:

  • Everything in the world has a natural electromagnetic frequency and it just so happens that a human's frequency is exactly the same as the Earth's natural frequency. Coincidence? I think not!
  • Melatonin is our most powerful antioxidant which is produced at night when we sleep. Even a tiny bit of light can stop the production process and leave our melatonin levels looking less than satisfactory. I think I'll start wearing my eye mask while sleeping now...
  • Living near a phone mast appears to highly increase your chances of developing cancer as a small town found out to their horror. 
  • Mobile phone radiation levels are tested by using an 'average size' model skull, which does not take into account the effect on a 9 year-olds brain which is now the average age a child gains their first phone.
  • Many of the reports and research carried out on harmful effects of radiation from mobile phones are being funded by the telecommunications industry themselves. Scientists feel pressure to conform to their employer's wishes and so many of these results can not be completely trusted. 
One thing that is crystal clear is that much more research needs to be done into the harmful effects our modern technology is having on the natural world and the ways in which we can cut down or altogether stop these effects. 

You HAVE to watch this! I'd love to hear what you think.
