For the first time ever, the California Department of Public Health has released guidelines about harmful cellphone radiation and how you can avoid it.
Dr. Karen Smith with the California Department Of Public Health said, “We recognize that there are a lot of people in the general public that have some concerns about their cellphones and whether using a cellphone is safe.”
Smith said, “When you sleep, you keep the cellphone at least arm’s length away from your body. And also, not carrying your cellphone in your pocket, having it either in your purse or not carrying it with you.”
I don't say this to often but I'm in agreement with the California Health Department. We are under increasing electromagnetic radiation from cell phones, routers, smart meters, etc and there's no clear understand on how this radiation effects the long term health of people. One thing I do if I'm going to be carrying my cell phone in my pocket for a long time is to just turn the damn thing off.
The research suggests cellphones could increase our risk for brain cancer and tumors, low sperm count, headaches, as well as impaired memory, hearing, and sleep.
Dr. Joel Moskowitz at UC Berkeley said, “Currently we’re not doing a good job in regulating radiation from these devices. In fact, we’re doing an abysmal job.”
Cell phone signals are in the low end of the microwave spectrum and we put shielding around microwave so when we are cooking our food in them they don't cook us either. However, no one seems to care about having a cell phone pressed up against your head and heating up your brain.
I definitely think the big telecom companies are covering up the dangers of cell phones.

Great post, but not so great results for our health. I personally keep my bedroom free of any electronics, since we spend a third of our lifetime sleeping, this should definitely prevent some damage. I will try to remember your suggestion and try to turn it off completely when I won‘t be using it for a few hours 😉
Thanks, this is very important info.
