- | Current UK safety limits for RF are based upon the flawed misapprehension that non-thermal = non-harmful, | ||
- | |||
- | It has been known for well over 30 years that there are non-thermal (signal) effects of RF. Russian and other safety limits are much lower than UK. Non-thermal biological effects of exposure to RF (microwave) signal include increased permeability of the blood-brain barrier, failure of repair of DNA breaks, heat shock protein synthesis, cellular calcium efflux, sympathetic upregulation and others. RF is currently classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as a Class 2b possible carcinogen. Other research shows adverse effects on semen quality amongst other biological effects. | ||

Further, these storms are brief, so my thinking was that it wasn't actually the storms, but the state of the sun where the solar cycle RF signal was at its highest. In other words, natural background RF when it cycles higher correlates with RA, and that level is so many orders of magnitude lower than manmade RF. | ||

- | ===== How to use a cell phone ===== | ||
- | |||
- | Are the following good guidelines for cell phone use? Does anyone have any comments? | ||
- | |||
- | 1. Never carry a cell phone on your person or in your pocket. Always have it in a separate bag. | ||
- | |||
- | 2. Keep cell phone in airplane mode except when actually being used. | ||
- | |||
- | 3. Never use a cell phone when a landline is available. | ||
- | |||
- | 4. Do not use a cell phone as a primary method of communication. Give out your land line number and not your cell phone number for incoming calls to minimize the number of calls to the cell phone. | ||
- | |||
- | 5. Do not use the cell phone for any purpose other than making emergency calls. | ||
- | |||
- | 6. Always wear a protective clothing device over your head when using a cell phone. | ||

- | |||
- | “My colleagues and I since then, some of whom have worked at the World Health Organisation with me in the past, have just published an article saying mobile phone radiation is a probable human carcinogen with newer studies showing that people who begin to use cell phones regularly and heavily as teenagers have four to eight times more malignant glioma — that’s a brain tumour — 10 years later,” the US cancer epidemiologist says in the program. “The Interphone study was carried out from 2000-2004. | ||
- | |||
- | “The results were supposed to be released in 2005. It took five years to release the results of the Interphone study, and it was not because the science wasn’t clear, it was because of the intense politics that took place between members of the team, some of whom had been heavily sponsored by industry, and others of whom were more independent. | ||

- | ==== inside the skull ==== | ||
- | |||
- | < | ||
- | As far as the brain goes, the skull cavity is resonant between 1GHz and 3.5GHz. I once saw an attenuation vs frequency curve (for TEM) which showed attenuation through the brain rising rapidly beyond 3.5Ghz, and falling below 1GHz, but you can calculate the structure size to anticipate something going on there. | ||
- | |||
- | As the frequency drops it is hard for the body to intercept so much signal as at microwaves. TV and FM are still a problem, but a different problem. AM? Well, the amplitudes are so high around a 50,000 watt transmitter... | ||
- | |||
- | I am sure that peak pulse amplitude is important, as well as a continuous nature for the pulses, so as to reduce the ability of our body's signaling to squeeze a signal in between the pulses. | ||
- | |||
- | The body's sensitivity changes as the IP is dealt with. | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | The analysis is simple for an RF engineer. You have the shape, roughly spherical, and you have the size, roughly 1 wavelength at 2.4 GHz, and you have a dielectric constant for the brain. This has been worked on before by the radar people, decades ago, who concluded that the frequencies currently used by 3G, 4G and WiFi were too dangerous to be used for Radar :) | ||

I am exploring an idea similar to wearing a sleeping cap, a hoodie over the top of the cap and protecting the upper body, and a bag protecting the torso and legs. We have to find something that is rugged, as well as effective, and I think that would do the job. Now to find a seamstress that can design and sew a good comfortable sleeping-hoodie together :) | ||
- | |||
- | ..Trevor.. | ||
- | ps: I think the reason you needed gaps in your clothing was because the IP really ramps up as the shielding becomes more effective. We have now put Aluminum on the other end of our attic space, and the lowered levels, even in the bedroom (currently below -70dBm) really causes an IP spike. It is all quite amazing, really... I built an amplifier to boost signals in front of the Cornet, and am reading down to about -80dBm now. | ||

- | The body's response to low levels of RF seems to occur in steps. As we quieten our environment, | ||
- | |||
- | What I think is happening to the Biology is that any level of environmental RF above about -80dBm (measured at your brain) incrementally shuts down parts of your immune system. By the time you get to -60dBm that immune capability is fully shut down. Then there is no further change until about -35dBm, where the immediate, disorienting, | ||

- | |||
- | Human proteins are resonant, this paper shows that this resonance is what is most easily disturbed by the microwave photon flux. This resonance explains why certain types of signals with fast-varying frequency content (such as pulsed 4G signals) are more disruptive than continuous wave signals. This is why the therapeutic microwave medical devices (from Eastern Europe) often use a noise-based millimetre signal source rather than continuous waves. | ||
