The electromagnetic field (EMF) has been a natural part of the earth ever since the beginning of the universe and extends throughout all of space. It is a fundamental form of nature. The most familiar form of the electromagnetic field, to us, is found in sunlight. This electromagnetic field is actually the interaction of both an electric field, which is composed of stationary charges, and the magnetic field which consists of wave like currents.
What is most interesting about the electromagnetic field is that, not only does it exist as a natural phenomenon around us, but it is also produced by a large number of the technological advances we have made and that we now tend to take for granted. For example, the microwave oven that most of us heat food or warm the baby’s bottle in produces EMFs. Even your computer screen and your cell phone produce EMFs. Actually, there are many electrical devices in and around your home that produce EMFs. Electrical substations and power lines are other examples of EMF producers outside your home.
Because the amount of EMF exposure has increased, as a result of technological advancement, scientific studies indicate that too much exposure can have a negative impact on human health, specifically increasing the cancer susceptibility rate. Moreover, some studies seem to indicate that children living in close proximity to overhead power lines, in combination with their still developing immune system, are more likely to develop leukemia than children who don’t live near these power sources.
Additionally, due to the increase of EMF exposure there has also been a noted increase in miscarriages, birth defects, breast cancer, brain cancers, and Alzheimer’s disease, to note a few more of the potential hazards of EMF. EMFs have also been associated with an increase of chronic fatigue, depression, headaches, allergies and other environmental disease.
Here’s how EMFs work on the human body. EMFs reduce the pineal glands ability to produce melatonin, which is a hormone that has been medically proven to control circadian rhythms and mood. EMFs also inhibit the immune system’s ability to protect the body from the formation of pre-cancerous cells. When the body’s immune system is compromised the body is more susceptible to contracting any number of antigens that it can’t naturally fight off.
Cell phones are also on the list of EMF producing devices. According to Australian Health Research Institute nearly one third of the world’s population is susceptible to some form of ear, eye, or brain cancer, not to mention that EMFs produced by cell phones also have the potential of causing other body disorders, such as epilepsy, heart problems, migraines, and more. EMFs are also produced by the transfer towers that assist in the signal transmission from cell phone to cell phone.
Because of the EMF threat to your health there are some things to keep in mind. First, reduce the amount of the use of your cell phone. If you are at home and have a land line, use the land line not the cell phone. Also, turn off the cell phone when you are not using it. When out and about keep your cell phone in a place other than a pocket over or near your heart. In addition, you should avoid living or working near transmission masts.

Scary reaction from cell phone radiation?
I just activated my first cell phone. I’m 33 and I’ve never even used a cell phone before because, frankly, I hate the whole cell phone culture. But I received one (a TracFone LG600G) as a gift and, after looking at the cost compared to my landline, considered the possibility of using the cell as my primary phone and cancelling my landline.
Just a few hours ago, in the early morning hours, I activated the phone and almost immediately after I started playing around with its features and especially after I made a short call, I could feel the radiation affecting me. It also made my TV buzz when a call was going through.
Over the years I have heard of the reported dangers of cell phone radiation but didn’t think that I would immediately feel such an alarming physical effect when turning it on. My forearm felt heated and hot in a very odd way and several hours later it still feels odd. I put the phone up near my head and afterwards got a slight headache in that area. Hours later my neck feels strange as well; perhaps my thyroid was affected. And I’m 100% sure that this is not my imagination. When I turned on the phone I was not expecting to feel this, so you can throw out the idea of auto-suggestion.
Has anyone gotten a similar reaction and, if so, why do you keep using your cell phone? I’m even now considering selling mine or at the very least using it only as an answering machine.
It is not in my head. As I said in the post, I was not thinking that I was going to get a reaction like that before I made a call, so it was not auto-suggestion. My forearm still doesn’t feel right.
I realize that other things which I use daily — TV and computer — emit radiation. I’ve probably been affected by these in ways I’m not even aware of. But this cell phone radiation was something I’ve never encountered before.
I have never felt anything like this , perhaps it’s the type of cell phone or just because you haven’t been around one. I would assume it would go away in a few days and your body will get use to it. You could consider calling your doctor for further information.

i dont mean this in a bad way, but i think its in your head. millions and millions of people use cell phones everyday and no study ive ever seen proves cell phone radiation is any more dangerous than any other radiation you are subject to everyday. people used to say the same thing about t.v.’s, but you have one of those. starting your question with- "the whole cell phone culture"? -tells me you probably have more of a problem with cell phones than they have with you.
