Mobile phone radiation - the cigarettes of our generation?

    Did 8 years of Obama not reverse anything?

    There's a total overestimation of the power of the US president on matters like this. Congress and State government have most power of matters of internal policy in the US, yet Americans and commentators in general will tend to blame and credit presidents with everything.

    Throughout most of the progressive years of the US, the House was run by the Democrats. The big shift happened in the 1990s.

    Just double checked the R/T bands on the popular iPhone6(/s), surprised they have such a range from about 800Mhz up to and including microwave 2.1Ghz.

    TD/LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 38, 39, 40, 41). TD-SCDMA 1900 (F), 2000 (A) UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz). CDMA EV-DO Rev. A (800, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz) GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)

    The latest Bluetooth 4.2+ are very low and efficient outputs. NFC is relatively new, but likely also very low wattage so not much to worry about there.
    But the Wifi via '802.11ac' MIMO (5G) is reported to be replacing the overcrowded standard of 2.4Ghz with '5Ghz', that can't be good?

    One thing folks forgot to mention is the mains powered standard cordless (2.4Ghz) land-line sets, apparently they output a rather high EMF.

    Aside from the US's obvious opioid epidemic (as mentioned) knocking their average life expectancy (youngsters get handed magic pills even for slight indication of ADHD).
    The also use a different electric cycle of 60hz, as opposed to the EU's more common 50hz. Some say the relatively low frequency 60hz is somewhat worse for the health.

    Plenty of studies suggest you should never sleep anywhere near to the main house junction box, keep it out in in the hallway or garage.
    I've seen folks wrapping copper wire near the wall plugs, and even office based grounding rods/mats.

    OP you can pretty much ignore anything California says - they are the ultimate hypochondriac state. If you are ever there you will notice warning signs at the entrance to pretty much any business saying toxic/carcinogenic chemicals are present (usually this refers to cleaning materials).

    But hey at least you can smoke weed there so it's not all bad!

    Some say 60 Hertz is somewhat higher than 50 Hertz.

    Some say 60 Hertz is somewhat higher than 50 Hertz.

    But heard somewhere that 60hz is worse for the human bio-field than 50hz.

    Anyway if you sleep with the mobile phone left on, and head next to the cordless land-line phone, which is itself next to the main electric junction box, you're stuffed.

    Ah yes the human bio-field. Which crystals are best to modulate the RF do you think? Should I consult my homeopath?

    I heard something somewhere as well but my head is that fried I can't remember.

    We light an open fire at home. I know it's unhealthy, but it is lovely.

    Logic says that 50Hz would be better than 60Hz, as a rule the higher you go the worse it is.

    Google "IEC TS 60479-1 - Effects of current on human beings and livestock"

    True story: Friend of mine gave me some homeopathy tablets for arthritis, I never took them as I don't believe. When he asked how did I get on, I said no good, he replied how many did you take, I said just one, he said NO you got to take 4 or 5 per day. He didn't see the irony.

    Well it makes sense, the more powerful the RF the less harm it will do surely?

    Could be why they have to reduce the voltage down from EU's 240v/50hz. If theirs is around 110/60 you'd be waiting all day for the tea kettle to boil.

    Arthritis*:
    AM: 1tsp Cider vinegar + 1tsp honey in glass of warm water.
    PM: Hot milk with turmeric, black pepper, ginger, small dash of nutmeg or bromelain.

    :D. I suppose they are working in that the more people they kill off the less resources of the planet those that are dead can use.

    I was thinking about that! I guess they were looking at the bigger picture,Earth before humans!

    Considering the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation from a 50Hz source is about 6,000 Km it's not going to matter which side of the bedside locker you leave that charging phone.
