Millions of people use cell phones and other wired and wireless products every day, with or without a headset. Despite assurances from manufacturers and service providers that these products are safe, the global debates and controversy over the health effects of these products continues. It is important to note the FDA states "There is currently insufficient scientific basis for concluding either that wired or wireless communication products and technologies are safe or that they pose a risk to millions of users," and no regulatory agency has stated that and wired or wireless product is actually safe to use.
There have been numerous reported studies* conducted by respected scientists confirming that up to 60 percent of the radiation emitted by a cell phone penetrates the head and neck of the user (see News Articles & Papers and Links). This increases the temperature of the brain and surrounding tissue and equally as significant, also affects protective biological mechanisms far below what can be measured at the thermal level using current Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) test procedures and standards. SAR standards are used as the basis for determining cell phone safety worldwide.
These studies* also present irrefutable evidence confirming that increased occurrences of the following symptoms and diseases can be directly attributed to the exposure of product operating frequencies and their associated power levels, and not their electric or magnetic fields. None of these symptoms or diseases are thermally induced, clearly indicating the SAR standards should not be used as the criteria for determining safety, nor have any of these symptoms been attributed to magnetic field emissions.
