Cell Phone Radiation and Children’s Behavior

News stories in the media have reported about the health dangers of cell phone radiation, particularly on children and teens. Their still-developing organs and brains are more susceptible than those of mature adults. DNA damage in growing cells from cell phone radiofrequency exposure, as research suggests, can lead to a host of problems with the proper development of those cells, and consequently of the tissues and organs.

However, there are more immediate effects than to just the physical health. Spanish researchers 5 years ago discovered that a call that lasts two minutes can alter the natural electrical activity of a child’s brain for up to an hour afterwards. This disturbed brain acivity in children, doctors fear, could lead to psychiatric and behavioral problems or impair learning ability.

Dr Gerald Hyland, a government adviser in the UK on cell phones, says he finds the results “extremely disturbing”. “It makes one wonder whether children, whose brains are still developing, should be using mobile phones,” he adds. “The results show that children’s brains are affected for long periods even after very short-term use. Their brain wave patterns are abnormal and stay like that for a long period. This could affect their mood and ability to learn in the classroom if they have been using a phone during break time, for instance. We don’t know all the answers yet, but the alteration in brain waves could lead to things like a lack of concentration, memory loss, inability to learn and aggressive behaviour.”

Considering that almost every teen nowadays uses a cell phone daily and can’t seem to live without it, what can a concerned parent do? The University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute director advised precautionary measures, including using the speaker phone and/or headset, using the cell phone only for emergencies, etc. But it is also important to employ technological countermeasures that neutralize the effects of the cell phone radiation itself. One such measure is a patented MRET-shield technology from Biopro that has been proven effective in various scientific tests in neutralizing the radiofrequency effects on the body.

This is a serious matter. As Prof. Leif Sanford, Head of Research at Lund University in Sweden, has said, “The voluntary exposure of the brain to microwaves from hand-held mobile phones” is “the largest human biological experiment ever.” Our children are our future, quite literally.
