See book keywords and concepts |  Like multitasking, cell phones have significantly increased our distractibility (and of course, we often multitask with cell phones). When cell phones first became widely popular in the 1990s, many people reacted with bumper stickers that said "Hang Up and Drive." Today, we might benefit from signs saying "Hang Up and Walk," as people wander distracted through supermarkets, pace the sidewalks in front of bookstores, and cross streets oblivious to everything around them. |
Bottom Line Health
See book keywords and concepts | | Myth: cell phones cause brain cancer.
Large population studies have shown no evidence that cell phones cause any kind of cancer, including brain cancer.
Cell-phone use today is much higher than it was a decade ago. If there were any truth to the cancer/cell-phone link, we would be seeing an increased incidence of brain cancers by now, but that hasn't happened.
Experimental Treatments Really Work!
Experimental cancer treatments are more beneficial than previously thought.
Recent study: Approximately 11%—and in some cases, 27%—of the patients in Phase 1 cancer trials responded positively. |

See book keywords and concepts |  While there are numerous conttadic-tory reports as to the overall effect of cell phones on out health, there is a growing body of evidence that cell phones affect multiple facets of your brain function, behavior, and health in general.
When our immune system is weak, we are more susceptible to the damage incurred by the waves. Most people do not think about what is happening when they plug in a household appliance or move into a home that is positioned close to a high output 50KV power line. Everyday technologies, such as cell phones and computers, all come with a cost to the human body. |

In regard to EMF exposure from cell phones, most of the animal studies show negative results. [Bulletin Cancer 92:637-43, 2005] However, another analysis concludes there may be a relationship between EMF exposure from cell phones and cancer, but because the studies used to draw these conclusions have some flaws, the issue is deemed inconclusive. [J Toxicology Environmental Health B Critical Review 7:351-84, 2004]. |

See article keywords and concepts |  The results of a limited study at Landau University have been reported in newspapers around the world, stating that radiation coming from cell phones may be directly responsible for the disappearance of bee populations around the globe.
However, according to the researchers of the German study its results were based on cordless phones, which work on a different type of radiation than cell phones. The study investigated the influence of electromagnetic fields on the learning ability of bees. |

"It's not my fault if people misinterpret our data," said Stefan Kimmel, coauthor of the study other professors, such as Kuhn. | | Although the outbreaks are now generally believed to have been caused by a virus imported from Australian bees (a charge which Australia denies), some scientists and researchers are putting forth a new theory that the radiation given off by cell phones and other high-tech gadgets is interfering with bees' navigation systems. The signals from nearby cell phone towers are preventing the bees from finding their way back to their hives.
This phenomenon, referred to as Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), is not yet well understood; even the existence of the disorder remains in dispute. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Elecrromagnetic radiation includes radiation from magnets, the sun, cell phones, X-rays, radios, televisions, heat lamps, and on and on. Tiny electrical currents are even present in the human body due to the chemical reactions that occur as part of normal bodily functions, even in the absence of external electric fields. For example, nerves relay signals by transmitting electrical impulses. Most biochemical reactions, from digestion to brain activity, are associated with the rearrangement of charged (electric) particles. |

See article keywords and concepts | | Cell phone charger: cell phones are extremely useful during emergencies, but what happens if your cell phone battery goes dead? Now, with the 8-in-1 Dynamo Emergency Tool, you can charge virtually any cell phone by cranking the dynamo handle for several minutes. Simply plug your cell phone into the device (attachments are provided for most phones made by Siemens, Motorola, Sony-Ericsson, Samsung and Nokia), crank the dynamo handle for 2-3 minutes at a steady pace, and your cell phone will be charged with enough juice to make an emergency call. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Similarly, many people are addicted to their cell phones and always have to be talking with someone or must answer (be distracted by) every call, regardless of what they are doing at the time. Often, people feel anxious and jittery when they aren't multitasking, and this anxiety bears a strong similarity to being addicted to tobacco, alcohol, or another drug and needing a hit. I'll return to this subject in chapter 13.
Other Common Stresses
We face many other common stresses in our lives. Following are several more, and I'm sure you can create your own list of stressful situations. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Now I personally think this advice is about as accurate as the warning against cell phones on planes, but once again, who's going to take the chance to prove it's wrong?
Reexamining the Study
Why do I believe the dangers of vitamin A have been way overstated? Several reasons. One, I went back and read the original mice studies. The amount of vitamin A given to the rodents was so huge that when my assistant and I tried to translate it into IUs (the units in which we commonly measure vitamin A), we simply couldn't do it—the number of zeros was greater than the calculator could work with. |

The personal care industry is leading the way as the largest single category. Companies using nano-materials include Almay, Barney's NY, Chanel, Clinique, Estee Lauder, Johnson & Johnson, L'Oreal, Lancome, Revlon and many others.
The FDA treats nano-material ingredients no differently than bulk material ingredients. |

See book keywords and concepts | | In the process, everything in our lives sped up—we segued from telephone calls and regular mail to the routine use of overnight deliveries and faxes, and now to cell phones, e-mails, and instant messages. Service companies routinely promise 24/7 service, and many employees remain in touch with their companies and customers on evenings and weekends. All of this adds stress and takes a toll on our neuronutrients and neurotransmitters.
In 1970, in his prescient book Future Shock, Alvin Toffler observed that the increasing speed of social change feels overwhelming. |

See article keywords and concepts |  A recent study, for example, showed that men who frequently use cell phones show radically reduces sperm counts due to the side effects of cell phone radiation.
The "Earth" frequency as a basis for healing
With modern society bombarding us with so much electromagnetic energy, it seems increasingly obvious that getting more in tune with the "Earth energy" is universally healing. People who leave big, noisy cities and move out to the country enjoy spectacular health improvements. |

See book keywords and concepts |  It may not surprise you to learn that the highly publicized Danish Cancer Society study that exonerated cell phones and the yet-to-be completed IARC study are directly funded by the industry.16 Whether this affects the design of the studies and their outcome can't be determined. One group will have an answer in 2009, after they complete a long-term animal research project. What are we supposed to do while we wait for those results?
D iagnostic radiation is another modern miracle we have come to depend on. The Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology was awarded in 1979 to Godfrey N. | | Tumors of the auditory nerve were three times more frequent in persons who had used cell phones for more than a decade.7 In 2004, other Swedish researchers found that long-term cell phone users had significantly more tumors on the auditory nerves than nonusers.8
The study of chronic health problems is hardly as simple as we often presume.9 We notice that most people with lung cancer have been smokers, or that many women over sixty who get breast cancer have used hormone replacement therapy. | | We use cell phones and other electric-powered devices to do things that once only happened in science fiction. We rely on drugs to treat learning disabilities, esophageal reflux, bladder spasms and newly created psychiatric diagnoses that didn't even exist a few decades ago. How can we find out whether these transforming technologies bring any risk to our health? If enough of us are floored by some hacking, spasmodic cough at the same time and in the same place, as can happen with sickening buildings, we can then figure out that the place itself has induced our health problems. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Statistics show that those who use cell phones while driving cause a much greater percentage of accidents than those who avoid using their cell phones. And the studies have shown that it's not just the physical coordination required to punch numbers into the cell phone while you're trying to work the vehicle that causes accidents; it's actually the lack of attention resulting from driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time. It seems that when you're distracted, you're more likely to cause accidents. | | Isn't someone who takes longer than one second to respond to a red light and apply pressure to the brake pedal a danger to other drivers, and aren't slow people in fact far more dangerous than drivers who carry cell phones? I think they are. I mean, if we're going to get serious about driver safety and ban cell phones, we should ban anyone who's taking a great number of prescription drugs from driving.
I was talking with a traffic control officer here recently who said that as many as 30 to 35 percent of all traffic accidents are caused by people who are dosed up on prescription drugs. |

See book keywords and concepts | | We can't imagine not using cell phones, not ordering diagnostic radiation tests to resolve medical problems or not taking greater numbers of drugs to treat disorders that didn't even exist years ago. At this point, we can't easily know whether any of these breakthrough technologies carries any long-term hazard.
Does the absence of agreed-upon proof of these potential hazards mean that they are not dangerous? There's got to be a better wray to build our world than waiting for enough bodies to drop or sicken before we decide we've got a problem. | | Today much of the world relies on cell phones rather than land lines. The growth in the use of these phones and the towers needed to connect them remains explosive. And, the discussion of their possible risks is ominously absent.
There's no debate that driving, biking or conducting any other mechanical physical activity while talking on a cell phone is a bad idea. That's why several states and some countries have already banned such practices. But what about the long-term risk to our health? Do the towers that transmit cell signals or the phones themselves convey a risk? | | Did her frequent use of those clunky first-generation cell phones have anything to do with it? It is sad that we don't know. It is appalling that we can't find out.
In 1973, out of every 100,000 men aged fifty-five to fifty-nine, only five developed multiple myeloma, a cancer of the bone marrow. By 1983 that number had doubled and included my dad, a healthy middle-aged man who never smoked or drank much. He was one of about seven

When the battery is fully charged, the Tesla Roadster stores the energy equivalent of about eight liters of gasoline - a very small amount of energy needed for a car that performs so extraordinarily. There is no internal combustion engine, only the battery unit that can be recharged easily from an electric power grid such as a standard plug-in wall outlet. |
