Cell Phones Burn Brain Glucose
Comment by Dr. Mladenoff
This study demonstrates the adverse effects of cell phone radiation with as little as 15 minutes/day usage. The authors conclusion that the damage is caused by burning of the glucose in the brain. What will happen to kids that are attached/addicted to their phone after they sustain a concussion?
Recall that one of the initial metabolic changes following concussion is elevated glucose in the brain. With more glucose available for cell phone radiation to burn the negative consequences can escalate quickly.
One of the first recommendations after head trauma is no cell phone usage in Phase 1=2 for Return To Play and no cell phone usage for Return to Learn Phases 1 to 3.
Sleeping with a cell phone under the pillow has absolutely no health benefits and can create more problems to those that have sustained head trauma.
Effects of the Ultra High Frequency Mobile Phone Radiation on Human Health. Electron Physician. 2016 May 25;8(5):2452-7. doi: 10.19082/2542. eCollection 2016
INTRODUCTION: Public and occupational exposure to electromagnetic fields due to the growing trend of electronic devices may cause adverse effects on human health. This paper describes the risk of mutation and sexual trauma and infertility in masculine sexual cell by mobile phone radiations.
METHODS: In this study, we measured the emitted dose from a radiofrequency device, such as switching high voltage at different frequencies using a scintillation detector. The switching high voltage power supply (HVPS) was built for the Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) system. For radiation dosimetry, we used an ALNOR scintillator that can measure gamma radiation. The simulation was performed by MATLAB software, and data from the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) were used to verify the simulation.
RESULTS: We investigated the risks that result from the waves, according to a report by International Commission on Non Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), to every organ of the body is defined by the beam and electromagnetic radiation from this electronic device on people. The results showed that the maximum personal dose over a 15-min period working at the mentioned HVPS did not exceed 0.31 μSV/h (with an aluminum shield). So, according to other sources of radiation, continuous working time of the system should not be more than 10 hours. Finally, a characteristic curve for secure working with modules at different frequencies was reported. The RF input signal to the body for maximum penetration depth (δ) and electromagnetic energy absorption rate (SAR) of biological tissue were obtained for each tissue.
CONCLUSION: The results of this study and International Commission of Non Ionization Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) reports showed the people who spend more than 50 minutes a day using a cell phone could have early dementia or other thermal damage due to the burning of glucose in the brain.
