Cell Phone EMF-Blocking Products – A Real World Test

From cell phone cases to blankets, ConsumerWatch Reporter Julie Watts put some of the most popular EMF-blocking products to the test. (11/14/17)

“... The FCC notes that there’s no scientific evidence ...” Isn’t that what the tobacco companies initially said? Besides, WHY IS THE FCC IN CHARGE of what may or may not AFFECT OUR HEALTH?

[victorsawe]

The problem is not the cellphone companies, it is us. We complain that these towers are causing all these problems but are the first in line when apple launches a product or complain that the wifi is too slow. We need to wake up and stop playing the blame game!

[purplepride]

Damn...can we go back to the payphone era? Lol

Have you had symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, poor memory, difficulty sleeping, and lack of clarity in your thoughts? It may seem like these could be the results of daily stress and frenzy, but there could be another culprit. All of these are symptoms of electro-sensitivity, which is something that more and more people find themselves affected by. Studies conducted in 1997 found "less than a few cases (of electro-sensitivity) per million", however now as much as 2.5% of the population is affected by electro-sensitivity. Even with the most moderate calculations, electrosensitivity is 10, 000 times more common today than it was 20 years ago. Why could this be?

Electro-sensitivity and its symptoms appear to be triggered by certain microwave frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. Due to their high frequency, microwaves allow for higher transmission rates and smaller antenna sizes, which is perfect for high-tech devices that are constantly getting smaller and faster. These are devices such as cell phones, tablets, laptops, and any device that can connect to Wi-Fi, which can now include TVs and refrigerators

Why is the FCC deciding what’s good or not for our health???

No the best way to end radiation from phones and cell towers is to refuse their phones and equipment.

I'm not paranoid, just aware of the facts. Because of this awareness, I keep my phone in airplane mode anytime it's in my pocket (unless expecting important call). And by the way, if you put your phone in Battery Saver mode, it makes far less frequent background checks, like for email, etc.

Not only a tinfoil hat but now I need a body suit.

[mohammadbataineh]

The same confusing conclusion to the public keeps them in doubt.
The fact is that Telecomunication companies don't want ppl to know the EMF threat.

[rebeccagreen]

I'd love to see the whole interview! This guy seems to know his stuff, and I'm sure he shared a lot more valuable knowledge than they were able to include

[Danielgvrcia]

This is great journalism, no bias just straight facts. They covered all the questions I had! Awesome video

"No current evidence..." means "we'll never test to see if there are harmful effects." The makers of these phones are just as big charlatans as those who provide the blocking technology because they've only tested under artificial lab conditions, as well. The model for how far emf radiation went into the head of an individual was an adult male marine, not a child with a head 1/4 the size, who uses these things regularly. The EMF radiation goes all the way through such a small head if the phone is held to the ear. An electrical engineer friend/instructor of mine once said: "I don't know about you but I wouldn't want something generating in the microwave range three inches from MY brain."

So, Cell Phone Shields do work, if used properly, and, Cell Towers are a real threat.

[JB-oggn]

I am impressed by how helpful this was...

[creveheart]

Right:::the slow kill is what they want
God forbid we protect ourselves

[prdeacon]

These reporters are just like the 70/80s ones saying “cigarettes don’t cause cancer.”

[justinfinch]

I was expecting them to not work at all, surprisingly they seemed pretty effective

[TREYCEMONE]

I wish they have would included those stickers that are often advertised.

[foskr]

Smart meters are also very high in EMF and unfortunately my neighbour has one :( and lots of ppl are encouraged to get one

[tacpreppers]

of course there's "no evidence" according to the FCC... i mean come on
