Cell Phone Radiation Effects on Kids’ Learning Ability, Behavior

News stories in the media have reported about the health dangers of cell phone radiation, particularly on children and teens. The tissues in their brains and bodies are still growing and their cells are rapidly dividing. DNA damage in growing cells from cell phone radiofrequency exposure, as some studies suggest, can lead to a disruption of 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. Scientists in Spain 5 years ago have discovered that a call lasting just 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.

A UK government adviser on mobile phones, Dr Gerald Hyland, 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.”

Since almost every teen who uses a cell phone view it as an indispensable part of their lives, this is a major problem. Responsible health officials like the Pittsburgh University Cancer Institute director have advised precautionary measures, including using the cell phone only for emergencies, using the speaker phone and/or a hands-free headset, etc. However, it is also recommended to use technological measures that neutralize the effects of the cell phone radiation itself. One such measure is a patented MRET-shield technology from Biopro Technology that has been proven in numerous scientific tests to be quite effective in neutralizing the radiofrequency effects on the body.

Our children are quite literally our future. As the Head of Research at Lund University, Sweden, Professor Leif Salford, said, “The voluntary exposure of the brain to microwaves from hand-held mobile phones” is “the largest human biological experiment ever.” Do we really want to wait how it all turns out? This matter is not to be taken lightly.
