There
are many shielding products to choose from and it can be
confusing trying to understand which ones really work and how
to use your cell phone as safe as possible. It can also
increase risk to dangerous side effects if you select the
wrong product or company to satisfy your shielding needs and
system of usage.
As
you may have noticed RF Safe takes a different approach to
offering consumers wireless products. Our interest in
this industry is to better understand and control
health effects of non-thermal RF Radiation
exposure. Using “O(3) electrodynamics” we have
developed
Interferemetric technologies to reduce or
eliminate negative health effects from RF/MW radiation via
cellular phones and other wireless products antenna systems.
After years of research we’ve concluded safe cell phone usage
depends on a
system of usage along with implementing necessary RF
Safe Approved
shielding technologies.
Its
very important consumers know the
pros and cons of cell phone shields and
headsets.
Safety Standards And Tests
SAR Safety Standards
Think about this when considering low SAR phones or using
shielding products tested by SAR procedures, RF Safe was the
first company to
publicly state that SAR standards were worthless
and should not be used as criteria for determining cell phone
safety.
Dial SAR To Call Cancer
The
standards accepted by the U.S. FCC and other regulatory
agencies worldwide are based upon the results of observing
brute force effects of rf radiation and does not recognize
corruption of genetic code information caused
by rf interference within a living cell. Most EM
scientists believe only in the "energy
deposition" theory --- the brute force
effects on the matter in cells, etc. In short, if the
radiation doesn't do brute
force damage or effects such as
heating the tissue, then the prevailing
view is that no damage has been done as accepted by SAR
testing.
Considering SAR tests for human safety totally ignores the
fact that the body has information and information processing,
which controls the physical functions of
all cellular activity. Most of the information and
its processing is done in electromagnetic form -- much of it
being in the "inner" electrodynamics inside the normal EM
potentials, fields, and waves. So the "information
content of the
EM fields inside a living cell" is ignored
as any kind of target that can be disrupted by EM radiation
(by the internal information content of the radiation, rather
than its brute force power). The truth is that the internal
information content can be disrupted, jammed, noise added,
etc. All such added
microwave interference then affects the cellular control
system (e.g., the cellular regeneration system). In
turn, with a "noisy EM" control system also making errors, the
control of the physical functions is disarrayed. Consequently
real
physical damage to DNA results.
If
you want to avoid RF Hazards you must avoid RF Exposure "NOT"
just turn down its heating potential!
Tests
SAR safety standard deficiencies are why RF Safe approved
radiation shields are tested measuring actual radiation
emissions (see
Video) with everyday
EMF meters, instead of temperature simulating SAR
procedures, simply put if you're not exposed to radiation your
in no danger from it!
Don't be misled when reviewing shielding effectiveness claims,
particularly when a product's test results are presented as a
SAR thermal reduction based upon tests using SAR equipment.
If you are considering a shielding product, this is an
extremely important consideration, as is confirming that the
shielding product was actually tested at the frequency and
power level of your wireless product.
Phone Shielding
Deflection Versus Absorption Shielding
Both technologies have been researched, and customers need to
be advised about the risks associated with using cell phone
radiation shielding products that
claim to absorb radiation, and RF Safe Approved
radiation shields proven to
deflect radiation for
proper shielding. The World Health Organization
advised consumers not to use cell phone radiation shields
incorporating absorption technologies in 1999, supporting
claims by every phone manufacturer. Products claiming to
absorb cell phone radiation, cannot possibly be effective due
to saturation and negative effects on output power levels.
Clearly deflection
is the only approved method of blocking uncontrolled
RF coming from a cell phone. Deflection is used in
RF Safe pocket,
purse and handbag shields to properly avoid rf exposure.
Shielded Cell Phone Cases
Many different designs of shielded cases exist, primarily they
inadequately address radiation coming from the
antenna system. Some absorb radiation and
others deflect radiation but the antennas are either "NOT"
shielded at all or disabled by grounding out. Neither is
acceptable - doing nothing is just that, and grounding
an antenna out will increase the phones output power! The
antenna is a very important part of a cell phone, its job is
to distribute useable rf radiation into the area around you.
It is also well known that the
cell phone handset itself also acts as an antenna. So,
without properly avoiding exposure or redirecting radiation
from the antenna of a cell phone you should never use it
against your body - "Ever"! Clearly stating that
shielding only the handset itself is not adequate for those
trying to achieve maximum safety.
A
air-tube headset "either a
RF3" with
a wireguard
and pocket shield
is the most recommended way to use a cell phone safely!
Small Adhesive
Phone Speaker Shields
After Mark Kalinowski with
Good Housekeeping interviewed
John Coates, founder of RF Safe , real world
efforts were made to make consumers aware of misleading claims
by companies manufacturing cell phone radiation shields. A
year later, the U.S.
Federal Trade Commission filed charges on February
20, 2002 against two companies selling these types of
products, stating "These companies are using a shield of
misrepresentation to block consumers from the facts, "said J.
Howard Beales III, Director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer
Protection. "There is no scientific evidence that their
products work as they claim."

Antenna Shields
Every cellular and cordless phone manufacturer warns consumers
not to place anything over an extendable antenna mast, or
otherwise interfere with its' operation, any device (like
flashing devices for children) designed to interfere with an
extendable antenna mast will cause a phone to increase its'
output power, and some products can create a very serious
exposure problem. The exception is when the phone is
near your body, doing nothing is just as bad! Just like phone
shields, antenna shielding must be researched too. Some
products use deflection and others absorption which is not
recommended at all, while the best method is to waveguide rf
into a safe
interference pattern by using an
Interferemetric Array antenna system.
The problem is these new high tech antenna control systems are
only available for a couple phone models. If you are
using a cell phone without a controllable antenna mast - a
shielded hands 6.00 headset and proper apparel shielding must
be used together for maximum RF safety.
Update:
Apparel Shielding
Pocket, Pants And Purse Shields
This is where wireless technology and Apparel truly begin a
future with each other. Just like all the other shields
promoted, these applications contain an absorbent or
conductive shielding material. Levi Strauss & Co. has launched
a line of
Dockers® with pockets designed to absorb
radiation from wireless products using "MDF".
RF
Safe promotes super
thin laminated shields to deflect radiation by keeping
a shield between you and a wireless device. RF Safe's design
easily slips into any pocket or handbag to safely deflect RF
radiation away, a swivel Belt-Clip shield is offered for easy
safe belt access when using a shielded headset or for safe
keeping on stand-by.
Headset Shielding
Headset Radiation
RF Safe was the first company to advise the world about the
risks associated with
using a cell phone headset. The below statement was
posted on the home page of rfsafe.com in Oct 1998
"If
you represent a cellular store or carrier, you have an
obligation to provide safety for your customers. Stop pushing
Hands 6.00 Kits for radiation safety and remove information
from your web pages/advertising claiming rf safety
immediately! YOU'RE PUTTING PEOPLE AT GREATER RISK!! Education
In RF Safety Must Be Provided!! The World Health Organization
saw headsets as a threat a long time ago and despite this
because of media like 20/20 who journalistically misleads
100’s of millions of people by not researching what they’re
reporting to be safer, is no reason to jeopardize the safety
of your customers! It’s time to evaluate your corporate
missions "People Before Profits"! Cell phones, like most
things that have risk, can be safer with education in cell
phone safety & RF Safe Approved Safety Technologies!"
It
was only a matter of time before RF Safe could adequately
address the
concerns of a headset wire acting as an antenna, by
using a wireguard with regular headsets or models with an air
tube design. A major part of hands 6.00 safety is how
to hold the cell phone
safe in hands 6.00 mode using a pocket, purse or
handbag shield.
Its
very important consumers know the pros and cons of headsets.
Now that
headsets are required in some states for hands 6.00 driving
consumers must understand how to minimize all risk.
Concern #1: Tests prove a cell phone headset wire does
act as an antenna. Which could increase radiation
channeled into a person’s ear canal. Test found the brain was
subjected to 3 times as much radiation when a headset is used.
Solution #1 Accessories: Small wire
ferrite suppressor and
Ear Bud Shields,
Air-tube headsets like the
RF3 are most
recommended to shield.
SCP
Usage: By clipping our ferrite on a cell phone headset
wire this impedes unwanted frequency exposure. To
prevent microwave exposure outside the ferrites impedance
capabilities from reaching the brain we offer Ear
Bud Shields “for
wired Headsets” o
RF3 Headset that uses an air tube rather than a wire
to connect the earpiece to speaker.
Concern #2: When a cell phone is placed on a belt or in a
pocket or purse while using a hands 6.00 headset this will
expose many vital organs to high frequency microwaves.
Solution #2 Accessories: Body Shielding -
Pocket Shield,
Purse Shield or
belt-clip shield.
SCP
Usage: The objective is to simply place a
protective barrier
between you and the cell phone. We offer
RF Shielding Fabric suited for this purpose, either with or
without lamination.
Headset Ferrites
Conventional ferrites, such as chokes or toroids, are
designed to prevent unwanted radiation frequency interference
(RFI) and their specifications are always presented as
resistance (in OHMS). RF Safe WireGuards "ferrites" offer
impedance levels through the range of 30MHz into the GHz
range, tested with a HP4191A Hewlett Packard Impedance
Analyzer connected to a headset wire. Consumers should
be aware that many companies are selling these ferrites at
extremely inflated prices (as much as 29.99ea) by hiding the
fact they are just ordinary small wire ferrites with a retail
value of $10. They are marked up 300% above their true value
once employed as a safety measure. This is not a
very ethical business practice and buyers should be alert to
these scams.
Air Tube Headsets
These products have a small plastic tube that separates a
headset wire from the earpiece about 8 to 10 inches depending
on brand choice. This is not a solution by itself but a good
start at reducing exposure to the head. At the earpiece
radiation will be lower due to the elimination of the headset
wire, just as phone RF declines over distance. As indicated
above, the wire itself acts as an antenna and must be shielded
with an inexpensive ferrite to reduce RF exposure.
Air-tube Headset Models -
RF3 Anti-Radiation Headset
NOTE: none of the health effects attributed to cell phone or
headset radiation have been found to be thermally induced and
is why even the smallest exposure levels may have very harmful
health effects.
Wireless Headsets
Wireless headsets replace the wire normally found on a headset
with a transmitter and receiver. They can represent a greater
health risk than a wired headset, particularly when their
frequencies are within Bluetooth or 3G operating
specifications. In addition to the wireless headsets operating
within Bluetooth or 3G frequency ranges are models using IR
frequencies - very low RF levels like a TV remote control!
These IR style headsets offer reduced exposure while having no
wires hooked to your body when driving or in the office.
A
air-tube headset
with a wireguard
and pocket shield
is the most recommended hands 6.00 use!
Car Antennas
Because most vehicles have metal roofs and largely come with
factory tinted glass,
new studies support your vehicle can act as a
Faraday cage and concentrating reflector,
amplifying RF density like a microwave oven.
