Will your next call be your last?


Last week the media reacted to reports that cell phones may cause cancer. Earpieces were mentioned as a preventable solution. In actuality, earpieces exacerbate the problem and are not the solution. Earpiece devices are nearly as dangerous as putting your ear to a cell phone since the signal fro the phone transmits radiation directly into the body. The solution is the WaveShield.
Interact Communications has created a headset that has replaced the wire gong into the ear with an air tube, just like a stethoscope. This transmits only air and sound into the ear, zero radiation.

Can Cell Phone Radiation Harm Your Child's Brain?


Our most precious resource, our nation’s children are exposed to a risk that no one seems to notice: cell phone radiation. While scientists around the world are pressuring their local governments to restrict the use of cell phones by children, the U.S. does nothing. Go to any mall, movie theater, or school and you’ll see young masses all with one ear to the newest cell phones on the market. The brain of a child is constantly developing, undergoing changes and obtaining more information in a few short years at a rate that won’t be matched for the rest of their lives. Add to this the radiation from cell phone exposure through the inner ear and it creates a laboratory with unknown consequences. Studies over the last five years have shown that the rate at which children develop autism is concurrent with increased cell phone use. The studies also suggest the electromagnetic radiation from wireless devices (like cell phones) in conjunction with environmental and genetic factors all increase the incidence of autism.
