Danger for fertility: cell phone in the pocket. Foto: Fotolia.de

A recent study by the University of Haifa has confirmed what has been suspected for a long time by physicians: electromagnetic radiation from cell phones can damage male fertility.
For the first time, diagnosis:Funk, in “Smartphones & Tablets damage testes, sperm and embryos” documents for the public: 130 studies and 13 “reviews” demonstrating that the pulsed microwave radiation endangers the male sperm and the healthy development of the embryo. In almost no area are the results of cell phone radiation research as extensive and unambiguous as to the damage of the reproductive organs.

Lower sperm concentration

Now a new study from Israel confirms these findings. Martha Dirnfeld, a professor at the Medical Center of the Technical University of Haifa, summarized the results of the study according to a report on br.de (Bayrischer Rundfunk) as follows: “We have found three usage habits of the cell phone that lead to a considerable drop in sperm count. For men who use the phone close to the body or carry it near the testes, the number of their sperm was significantly lower.” The scientist warns not to make phone calls for more than an hour a day. It is also harmful to use the cell phone when it is charged. Through these habits, according to the study of the Israeli scientists, the sperm concentration can decrease or at least the probability of it happening is much higher.

Less than 20 inches from the crotch

The physical proximity of the cell phone proved to be particularly dangerous. The study apparently has seen a sinking sperm concentration as soon as the cell phone is worn less than 20 inches away from the crotch. In 47 per cent of the men with this habit, an “abnormal concentration” of the sperm was determined. For the study, the habits of cell phone use of 106 men were investigated

Proven: sperm quality and fertility decrease

Another fact is that sperm quality decreases continually in Western societies. In 40 percent of the couples suffering from infertility, the quality of the male sperm is the cause. So the study of the Israeli scientists permits only one conclusion: The time of uncertainty and guessing is a thing of the past. The relationship has been proven. Professor Sigal Sedetzky, a cancer and radiation researcher at the Tel Hashomer hospital near Tel Aviv, recommends the inescapable consequence: “It is clear that we must take precautionary measures when it comes to cell phones. You should keep the phone away from the body and try to minimize the exposure to radiation.”

Using a “headset” is not the solution

As Swedish scientists have recently discovered, it is unhealthy to keep your cell phone near your head during a phone call. But to leave the cell phone in your pocket and use a “headset” instead, is also not a good idea, according to a report on ewg.org. According to a study conducted by the Center for Reproductive Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic, a cell phone lowers the male’s fertility during the telephone call when the phone is in the pocket or fastened to the belt. For the study, the scientists collected samples from 32 men. However, the strength of a cell phone also depends on the proximity of the device to the next base station, as Sarah Driessen from the research center for electro-magnetic environmental compatibility of the university clinic Aachen explained in an interview on spiegel.de. “When the next base station is close, the electromagnetic radiation that is emitted is low. In poor reception, on the other hand, the cell phone has to provide more power in order to establish and maintain a connection, which means that the operator of the phone is exposed to much more radiation.”

Swiss Harmony: Protects from harmful radiation

“Swiss Harmony” products for the harmonisation of homes ensure that its electricity contains a different information. Via the law of resonance, it transmits the information of the visible light spectrum onto the electricity that flows past it. This electricity will then distribute this harmonious information into every last crevice of the building. Any plugged in WiFi or cordless phones you have in your home will become a beacon of harmony.

Create a harmonic resonance field

The Law of Resonance states that in a resonance field any frequencies that do not conform to the field cannot form a resonance and so cannot exist in it. In other words, in a harmonic resonance field any artificial frequencies cannot have an effect. It does not matter from where they originate. The mobile products by Swiss Harmony (BioRing, BodyCard, BioBracelet, and the BioPatch) harmonize the human body by transmitting the harmonic resonance field information on the the energy system in the body. This way the body stays free from the negative effects of artificial frequencies.

Modern medicine and research puzzle over the increase in autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes and multiple sclerosis. What is seemingly completely ignored is the ever increasing exposure to cell phone radiation, this could play an important role. 

Type 1 diabetes and multiple sclerosis (MS) are both autoimmune diseases. But they have something else in common: In recent years, physicians observed a strong increase of these diseases. Today, one of 120 children in Finland is diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, which is the world’s highest rate. In Switzerland and Germany the rate is 1 in 300 of under 15 year olds says Daniel Konrad, Head of the Department of Endocrinology and Diabetology at the Children’s Hospital Zurich, on www.nzz.ch. Zurich doctors apparently observed  an annual increase of three to five percent since 1998.

Destruction of beta cells

In type 1 diabetes, the immune system attacks the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. For a while the body is able to compensate for the loss. However, as soon as 80 to 90 percent of the beta cells are destroyed, there are strong exhaustion symptoms. However with the daily supply of insulin using a pump in conjunction with a highly controlled diet, it is possible to get the disease under control. Nevertheless, it is a great burden for those affected.

Various factors in play with autoimmune diseases

What are the reasons for the increase in autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes or MS? According to the report on nzz.ch certain gene variants increase the risk of someday developing them. Such a rapid increase of these diseases in the last 50 years can not solely be explained by genetics, say the experts, and suggests that certain environmental factors in conjunction with the genes lead to irritation of the immune system. Infections by viruses, cigarette smoke, a low vitamin D level, the stress on the body with heavy metals, solvents, pesticides or nitrate are all named as potential environmental factors. With the so-called microbiome advanced in recent years, another prime suspect has moved to the center of research. Microorganisms play an essential role in the body’s defences.

What role does the cell phone radiation play?

Even with MS, it seems to be more complicated. Many factors are involved. “We are caught in a very complex system,” says Bertram Müller-Myhsok from Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry in Munich on nzz.ch. Amongst the numerous environmental influences and other factors that he names, widespread exposure to electromagnetic pollution, in particular by the high-frequency radiation from the cell phone sector is not mentioned. Why not? Within two decades wireless technology has become a worldwide epidemic. According to statista.com 190.5 million people possessed and used a smartphone in the USA in 2015 with a strong upward trend. In 2013 the Swiss Federal Statistical Office, stated that 94 percent of Swiss households have a cell phone, and more than half of these households (57 percent) have more than one device. can this e a source for autoimmune diseases?

Studies show that cell phone radiation burdens the immune system

There are many studies on the harmfulness of cell phone radiation, especially the effects on the immune system. Dutta et al. (1989), for example, describes, according to a report on www.zentrum-der-gesundheit.de, changes in the calcium ion balance and the nervous tissue of birds and cats as well as in human neuroblastoma cells. A disturbance of the balance in the calcium ions influences, among others, cell communication, and cell growth. Daniells et al. (1998) found damage to intercellular protein in roundworms under microwave radiation. It has been established beyond doubt that microwaves even at low intensity causes more violent stress than simple heat. Fesenko et al. (1999) subjected mice to a whole body irradiation of 1 pW/cm2. This influenced the immune system significantly. Lyle et al. (1983) also found that RF radiation causes a reduction of the cellular immune function. In tests on rats conducted at the Catholic University of Leuven (KUL) in Belgium, changes in blood cells, which are responsible for the immune system were found. Rats exposed to prolonged radiation would, exhibited twice the mortality rate in a series of tests, reported the Belgian newspaper “Le Soir”.

Smartphones affect productivity and performance in the workplace. Foto: Fotolia.de

A Smartphone free day is inconceivable for many of us. According to a study by the University of Bonn people interrupt their daily activities roughly every 18 minutes  in order to check their phone. They do this up to 53 times a day! Smartphones make us dependent, unproductive and unhappy. This is the conclusion of Alexander Markowetz, researcher at the University of Bonn. The assistant professor of computer science used an app to analyse the smartphone usage of 60,000 people. In his book “Digital Burnout”, which was released in Droemer Knaur-Verlag, the researcher explains the context and describes the dramatic consequences for our private life and the working world. Around 300,000 people have downloaded the app “Menthal”. It was developed by computer scientists and psychologists of the Bonn University for research purposes. The app records the smartphone usage and transmits the data anonymously to the server of the researchers.

Smartphones every 18 minutes

The 60,000 data records that have been evaluated, paint a frightening picture. On average, the owners activated their phones 53 times per day. They interrupt, what ever they are busy with, every 18 minutes. “Smartphone apps work just like gambling machines. We look at them repeatedly to get a little fix” says Alexander Markowetz, assistant professor of computer science at the University of Bonn and author of the book “Digital Burnout “, published in October, 2015.

Corporations react with inappropriate measures

This behavior is not exclusive to youths, but runs through all ages and social classes. “We are witnessing the emergence of Homo Digitalis, which handles a large part of its activities by means of digital media,” says Markowetz. “People spend most of their time with social media applications like Facebook, WhatsApp and games”. The constant interruptions in the daily routine were particularly dramatic. The interruptions never made it possible to pursue an activity completely, and thus prevented any experience of a work- and think-flow. The consequences are unproductiveness and a lack of happiness. Young people especially, are extremely fixated on their smartphones. The 17- to 25-year-old study participants used their smartphone even more often: a total of three hours a day. That, although a large part of their time is already taken up by school or training.

The economy had not yet realized what has hit them. “At present, many companies are responding with inappropriate measures,” says Markowetz. Many corporations would follow the trend, provide their employees with tablets and smartphones, allowing them total flexibility – and so reinforce dependence and burnout risk. The productivity loss is immense, and the illness rate will cost them dearly. Other companies would indeed prevent business smartphone usage in the evenings – they would do this by shutting down email servers in the evening. But this leads past the actual problem say the researchers of the University of Bonn. “The decisive factors are the constant interruptions in their daily work and less the out-of-hours e-mail.”

Guidelines for meetings

A common sight in companies is also meeting participants who prefer to stare at their smartphones instead of following meetings. According to a study of the Marshall School of Business in California, many employees feel impacted by the smartphone use of other meeting participants. They described it as a sign of disrespect and lack of attention. For this reason, according to a report of 20 minutes, Swiss companies are publishing guidelines of conduct when it comes to smartphone usage during meetings.

Surprising results from Brazil

However, the side effects of mobile communication are not limited to a drop in productivity or a dumbing down of society but also harbour high health risks. Recent studies such as of A.C. Dode et al. (See also report on everyday-feng-shui.de) show rather frightening, though not really surprising, results. The Brazilian scientists were able to show in a ten-year long term study that people who live within a radius of 500 meters around a cell phone tower, have above-average amount of neoplasms (tumors) and also die at the hand of these diseases.

The city of St. Gallen has a unique way to deal with cell phone technology. Picture: Fotolia.de

Many people are worried about the increasing exposure to radiation from cell phones. Luckily, there is hope and innovation in dealing with this invisible danger. Three of these are presented in the following article.

Due to the heavy use of data-intensive services, the transmission systems in many cities are used to their performance limits. In order to reinforce the infrastructure for the conventional technology of macrocells (conventional cell phone towers) further, the Swiss cell network operators and their associations are trying to, according to a report by www.diagnose-funk.org, increase the limits for non-ionising radiation at a political level in order to continuously upgrade the existing macro cell sites.

St. Gallen: More data with less radiation

Instead of continuing to develop the network of cellular antennas, the decision was made to take a different route. On behalf of the Office of Environment and Energy, of the city of St. Gallen a vision was developed: St. Galler-Wireless. The idea is fascinating, more data with less radiation. The project was designed consequently the city council convinced and approved by the people in a referendum. Strong resistance came from the cell operators that described the project to be technically impossible. But the vision has been successfully implemented so far.

Only one network for all cell phone users

In 2014 the project was switched to normal operation. St. Galler-Wireless fulfilled, according to the report on diagnose-funk.org four important requirements for creating a powerful and low-radiation cell phone network:
– There is only one network for all users.
– With a small cell network, the wireless gap is kept as short as possible.
– The indoor and outdoor supply is separated.
– Router/access points are shielded and mounted so that the radiation is avoided or minimized in buildings.

Maximum radiation exposure reduced tremendously

In practice, the project appears to be a success. The cell phone, smart-phone and tablet users can communicate via free urban WiFi network consisting of micro transmitter/receiver (Cell), and is then deflected internally to its respective provider. This way the maximum radiation exposure could be greatly reduced in the outdoor areas. Since the user is always close to a wireless cell the distance can be bridged with minimal power, both from the cell and the user. Compared to conventional services, this is a threefold progress: Since the radio cells transmit at low power, the radiation exposure remains low even in the immediate vicinity of the transmitting equipment. The apartments are no longer irradiated from the outside. The terminals can receive and transmit with little power.

Visible light communication (VLC): Optical cell communication

The Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute (HHI) in Berlin has developed a data transfer technique in which the light of commercially available LED lamps, which are usually used for room lighting, is used as a transmitter. The wireless signal transmission works with an embedded microchip in the LED light bulb as a result this allows for a transfer rate of 150 Mbit/s.

The data is modulated onto the light flux at very high frequencies. These frequencies are not perceptible to the naked eye. Optical sensors (photodiodes) on the terminals are used to read the data from the luminous flux leading to the data streams being sent back from the cell terminal in the infrared region of the LED lamp. The wireless optical data communication is an impressive alternative to existing data transfer with WiFi and Bluetooth. It represents an attractive solution especially for schools, as special requirements concerning the protection of minors are present against the risks of cell phone radiation and must be considered.

The idea to change to visible light from the more traditional microwave radiation, originally came from Keio University in Japan. Meanwhile, it has spread worldwide.

First European VLC project on the island of Mainau

On May 20th 2015, on the island of Mainau in Lake Constance began Europe’s first practical project with optical data transmission – the visible light communication (VLC). This may be the beginning of a new stage for the cell phone industry. In the press release of the project partners it is said: “The Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute HHI upgraded an existing conference room on the island of Mainau with visible light communication (VLC) technology in order to create therewith an optical WiFi environment. Therefore, the existing radio-based WiFi solution can be replaced. The upgrade will take place in several construction steps and allow insights for practical parameter optimisation. The project is funded by the Ministry of Environment, Climate and Energy Baden-Württemberg. The initiative “Bodensee Mobilfunk” campaigns for radiation reduction and was the one who suggested to pilot the idea on the island of Mainau.

Swiss Harmony offers free harmonizations in schools.

Various studies warn of the dangers of Wifi, especially for children and adolescents.Nevertheless, the introduction of Wifi is planned at schools. The authorities hide behind radiation limits and an “inadequate state of research”.

In Switzerland, the new “curriculum 21” stipulates that children in kindergarden and in primary school are taught the use of new media technologies. This should happen in conjunction with computers and notebooks as well as small mobile devices, which are connected via Wifi to the Internet. The “Basler Zeitung” and “20 Minutes” reported, these plans where met by criticism with the “Syndicate for Necessities of Life” (IG) as well as with the Swiss Syndicate of the Electro-affected. They warn of the adverse health effects of exposure to radiation from wireless and mobile phones. A few years ago, an experiment was started to introduce nationwide Wifi in English schools. However, it was soon found that level of learning and wellbeing of students was affected. Aggressiveness and lack of concentration were the result! The project was quickly stopped – just like in Austria, where they had a similar experience with Wifi in schools.

Free harmonization to help against the dangers of Wifi

To counteract the wireless radiation exposure in schools, “Swiss Harmony” offers free harmonizations of schools who suffer from radiation exposure. Unfortunately, many teachers are still not sufficiently aware of the dangers of Wifi at schools, according to the director of Swiss Harmony, Richard Neubersch. He says “We have teachers as customers who are extremely satisfied with our products and they want to implement the harmonization in their schools but more often than not it fails because of the lack of support from their fellow teachers. They are laughed at because their colleagues do not believe in the harmfulness of electromagnetic pollution.” The least a school can do, is to harmonize all the wireless routers of the building in order to minimize the health burden on children, says Richard. The product of choice in conjunction with the smart phones in everyones pockets, he suggests the “Biopatch“.

Motor skills and memory disorders

There is no lack into investigations and studies on the effects of electromagnetic radiation. For example, in issue 10/2003 the magazine Ökotest (www.oekotest.de) carried out measurements to determine the effects of wireless radiation. Result: even at one meter from a Wifi receiver values were measured that, according to studies, impair motor skills and increase memory disorders in children. According to the study, even up to a distance of 15 meters, field strengths are often still far higher that the official building-biological thresholds for places of work or places where you spend a lot of time. Meaningful measurements for the determination of wireless radiation was conducted by the University of Bremen on their campus, where a dense network of wireless reception points was established. The measurement results showed large variations: they spanned from 0.5 to 2504 μWatt/m2 at the receiving points. On a laptop at a distance of 1.50 meters, a value of 1580 μWatt/m2 was measured and at a distance of 0.10 meters a frightening level of 49960 μWatt/m2.

Irradiation of the reproductive organs

Wifi is fast becoming the most used communication frequency; everywhere free access (hotspots) are offered. The Smartphone sends and receives almost constantly because of active apps, usually via Wifi. By keeping the smartphone close to the body, in the trouser or jacket pocket, then according to studies, the reproductive organs are constantly irradiated. Research by the environmental and consumer organization to protect against electromagnetic radiation “Diagnose Funk” based on six recent studies (Cammaerts 2014, Dasdag 2015, Megha 2015, Saili 2015, Sangun 2015, So-ran 2014. Dasdag et al.) have shown, that the wireless frequency of 2450 MHz causes the most harmful effects. Apparently, the percentage of defects in sperm heads rose significantly in the irradiated group. The weight of the epididymis and seminal vesicles was significantly less, the diameter of the seminiferous tubules and the thickness of the tunica albuginea had decreased significantly, even highly significantly in the exposed animals. Further, the effects of 900, 1800 and 2450 MHz were tested on the brain. The maximum damage was achieved with Wifi: oxidative cellular stress, reducing the body’s antioxidants, inflammation, and as a result of oxidative stress DNA damage. In a long-term experiment, researchers found that there is delayed development in the postnatal period, when the embryo is irradiated.

Damage in animals and plants

Industry likes to claim that all pathological reactions are due to nocebo effects. In animals and plants, however one can not assert this thesis. When irradiated, ants showed disorders in their movement sequence. In another research project field beans were irradiated with 915 MHz. DNA damages were the result. With maize seedlings, irradiation resulted in stunted growth, leaf changes and effects on the mitochondria; these are special cell organelles with a double membrane.

“Wifi radiation: still insufficiently explored”

On the subject of the dangers of Wifi, the Swiss authorities (Federal Office of Public Health, Bundesamt für Gesundheit BAG) say: According to current knowledge, and due to existing exposure measurements generated by wireless networks, high-frequency radiation is too weak to detectably increase the temperature through absorption and cause acute health effects to trigger. Long-term and non-thermal effects are still insufficiently explored. From the available studies on the effects of high-frequency EMF at low doses, below the applicable limits no health hazards caused by wireless networks can be derived at the moment. Individual wireless devices such as Wi-Fi enabled laptops, mobile phones and PDAs can cause prolonged radiation exposure when worn close to the body. At the moment according to BAG, there are uncertainties on the health effects of such body near devices. In connection with mobile phone radiation, they are extensively studied in international research efforts.
