There are two kinds of radiation that have been proven harmful to people: low frequency electricity from our home electrical systems and power lines and microwave radiation from cell phone use. Household or low frequency electricity tends to impact our immune system, creating deficiency illnesses and hypertension or high blood pressure.
More alarming are the wireless threats that have been manifesting in the last few years. According to the Bioinitative Report of 2007, diseases due to the extensive use of cell phones, in particular, are now manifesting very quickly; brain tumors, ADHD, Alzheimers and other brain-related illnesses are developing within years, rather than over decades.
Cell Phones
Millions of people use cell phones daily, unaware of the serious hazards these phones pose to their health. A study by the International Agency for Research on Cancer reported:
...in 2008, after a decade of cell phone use, the chance of getting a brain tumor--specifically on the side of the head where you use the phone--goes up as much as 40 percent. An independent study in Sweden last year concluded that people who started using a cell phone before the age of 20 were five times as likely to develop a brain tumor.
Laptops and Routers
Two wireless devices that are proliferating in people's homes are laptops and routers. Like cell phones, these too emit a dangerous field of microwave radiation. Wireless home network routers especially pose a threat to everyone in a home, as the field they create extends throughout the entire house (and even beyond it). Few people are aware that even when not actively in use, laptops and routers continue to generate a field of microwave radiation.
