Cell Phones on the Brain
by Dr. David Ramaley

I don't need to go into the reasons why I like my cell phone, as they are probably the same as yours. This would also hold true for my dislikes. There is another side to cell phones, however, that I see on a daily basis in our practice and that are creating a subtle but significant change in our health. It is my opinion (supported by several recent studies) that the electromagnetic frequencies (EMF's) emitted from cell phones are disrupting our endocrine, neurological and cellular functions.

I have documented numerous cases in which cell phone use has disrupted someone's health. One such instance concerns a patient whom I had been seeing for several years for occasional back pain. Last year, she came in when she had not menstruated for several months. She had seen her gynecologist, determined that she was not pregnant and did not have any other apparent problems. Upon further questioning, I found out that she had a new job that required her to be on her cell phone for at least 90 - 120 minutes per day. We determined through applied kinesiology (muscle testing) that when she placed the cell phone near her body, a strong muscle that I had been pushing against went extremely limp. This indicated that prolonged cell phone exposure most likely was creating the imbalance in her hormonal regulation. So I recommended that she wear two magnets as a remedy.

Magnets work by helping to balance our electromagnetic field, but not just any magnet will do. I suggest using a multipolar magnet, which is magnetized with many north-seeking and south-seeking poles arranged in a grid pattern. (Most magnets, like the ones on your refrigerator, are magnetized with just one north-seeking and one south-seeking pole.) I also had her use a cell phone EMF inhibitor. This is a very thin mechanism that blocks the electromagnetic effects of the cell phone. Thirdly, I had her wear an earpiece so that the phone would be at least six inches to two feet from her head. Within one week, her period returned, and her menstrual cycle has been normal since.

In another case, a male software engineer whom I had seen for quite some time came to me complaining that he had experienced almost constant headaches for about two months but had been in good health prior to this. He had recently increased his cell phone usage to at least two hours per day. Again, we determined that his cell phone was the culprit. I also had him wear a magnet, use an EMF inhibitor on his phone and keep the phone at least two feet away from his head. His headaches were gone after two days. He tells me that whenever he stops wearing the magnet, his headaches return.

While the research is not vast on this subject, there is a good article in Environmental Health Perspectives, Volume 111, number 7, June 2003. It describes an experiment in which the authors separated 32 rats into four groups. The first group had no exposure to EMF's. The other three groups were exposed to different strengths of cell phone signals over a period of 50 days. At the end of the experiment, the authors found that the blood-brain barrier that exists to protect the brain was actually damaged, which allowed a protein called albumin to leak into the brain. The greater the exposure, the more damage that was incurred. The albumin damaged the neurons in the brain and created dark spots. The authors concluded that while this may not create an immediate life-or-death situation, over time it could potentially affect the brain's health by killing neurons that are needed for proper brain function.

So, will I give up my cell phone? Never. But here is what I do to protect myself:
