I get asked about cell phones as a part of the concern focused on overall health in my program.
It is a question I’m happy to answer, because I have strong opinions on it that need no substantiation or “proof” to back up.
I hate using the word “hate.”
It is a potent word.
There are very few things in life that I “hate.”
Among them would be:
Mosquitos, fleas and ticks, all of which I’d have no problem with a mass extinction event happening to.
I also “hate” certain politicians…Basically all of them.
(That was meant to be a little joke…when you spend ten years straight studying law and engaged in politics, you learn the hard way what a joke it all is).
And lastly…
I “hate” cell phones.
Everyone who knows me knows I can’t stand the things, that I rarely to ever have mine on (and get razzed about that by family and friends constantly) and that I have constant trouble trying to use and master the damn thing, despite being a very “technology capable” person, accomplished on the computer and most other electronic devices.
Here’s the gig:
The things cause too much problematic radiation. Those huge cell towers are blasting a signal *right at your head* when you are talking on the thing.
Is that something you think is conducive to good health, when we know that it is creating a virtual living “soup” of frequency pollution all around us, and our cellular functions depend on various frequencies themselves to communicate with one another?
Do you see a potential for interference?
This applies to wifi as well of course.
And they’ve of course all become “necessary evils.”
But I have witnessed first hand how my concentration, focus and memory are affected by cell phone use. And I’ve watched friends experience the same.
One person in particular was one of the smartest little whips I’ve ever come across when I met him five years ago.
After daily use of his cell phone, I’ve noticed his ability to form spectacular opinions and stay focused on one area of study has been reduced to sporadic at best.
And he faults the cell phone for this above anything else.
And everyone complains of headaches at a certain point as well.
The industry is multi-billion-dollar. Studies proving that this technology may be impacting us negatively are simply NOT going to come out under most any condition. Or if they do, they will be minor, and gradual, so as to help curb the economic impact such studies could cause.
But I don’t need any study to tell me that it’s EITHER safe or unsafe.
I have my own personal experience and that of friends as all the proof I need that cell phones cause headaches, interfere with cognitive abilities, affect memory, and affect focus and concentration.
That’s all I need to know that cell phones are a problem, they need to be kept as far from the head as possible (and I use an extension ear piece and mic), and I avoid using them as much as I can.
Love, Happiness, Health and Peace…………………..Tim 🙂
