Living a healthy life

My claim to fame is not having been to a doctor in more than 30 years, so I have some things to say about staying healthy. Most of the 30 years, by the way, I was covered by health insurance.

Cellphone radiation and your health

No, I haven't died, in case you were wondering. Here is some important info about cellphones from Dr. Sears, who has a very good website with lots of free information.

You can find out the SAR of your phone on the FCC database. Go to www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid. The legal maximum for cell phone radiation is 1.6 W/kg. The next time you upgrade your phone, purchase one with a low SAR rating.

Make brief calls. Keep your calls short. And use your phone only when necessary. Use a conventional phone when possible. The less time you expose your head to microwave radiation, the better.

Use a speakerphone. Keep the handset part of the phone as far away from your body as possible. Although "Hands Free" equipment seems like a step in the right direction, evidence of safety is not yet available. Studies reveal some earpieces transmit the radiation along the wire into your ear. If you use a "Hands Free" phone, those marked filtered appear safest. For the very lowest exposure, use a wireless speakerphone with the microphone, earpiece and antenna all far away from your body.

Try a cell phone shield. You can buy a cell phone shield. The marketing claims are exaggerated but they probably do reduce the amount of radiation that enters your head.

Don't carry the phone close to your body. Carrying a phone in your pants or shirt pocket is not ideal. There are vital body parts in your chest and abdomen. These organs absorb radiation more efficiently than your head. Your phone emits low-level radiation in standby - even when you aren't using it. If you use a briefcase, you may want to do what I have done and start carrying your phone inside your briefcase.
