Even though cell phone manufacturers maintain that their products are not dangerous, more than 300 scientific studies (to date) indicate at the very least that users, especially children, are taking possibly serious risks with regard to their health. It is true that the cell phone industry is still too young for science to have determined yet with certainty what the long-term consequences will be of our intensive use of mobiles. Will they turn out to be negligible, or are we going to see in the coming years a large wave of physical ailments in the form of cancers, degenerative and neurovegetative diseases, autism and alzheimer, whose exponential increase has not been fully explained yet? The question bears being asked before it is too late for many people. The precautionary principle implies that, until a definitive answer has been found, prudence dictates that all meaasures be taken to minimize the possible impact of cell phones on our health, be it by using them as little as possible or by using existing protective tools such as TelOProtect®.

Basic mechanism
Be that as it may, the basic mechanism of cell phones is relatively easy to understand. When you turn it on, it immediately starts emitting pulsed electromagnetic waves in search of the closest cell tower. If it can't find one right away, your phone will send increasingly stronger signals until it makes contact. Afterwards, even if you do not use your cell phone to call someone or answer a call, it keeps sending its signal every 3 seconds in order to maintain contact with the network.

So what?
The problem stems from the fact that nature in general and human metabolism in particular have been used for millenia to being exposed to natural electromagnetic fields (solar, cosmic and telluric), which happen to be linear, i.e. emitted as a continuous stream. On the other hand, the artificial eletromagnetic waves created by cell phones are emitted in pulses, which means that they literally “hammer” the living cells they go through. This hammering, to which our cells have not had time to adjust yet, seems to be the source of many cellular affections which evolve into (depending on the affected people's physiology) either serious ailments or minor adverse effects. Every person reacts differently, which explains why some people are hyper-sensitive to any environment with electromagnetic pulses, while others don't feel anything (which doesn't mean that their cells are immune for that matter).

Brain and reproductive organs
All organs can be affected, either in the way they work, develop or regenerate themselves, but the areas of the body that are the most at risk are the brain and the reproductive organs. The brain, obviously, because cell phone users place it next to their ear, therefore in the immediate proximity of the brain. And the reproductive organs because, once the conversation is over, where do they put their phone? On a belt clip or in their pant pocket! That's the case for the majority of men. Women for the most part dump it in the bottomless pit of their handbag (which turns out to be a good thing in this case). These two vital areas are therefore bombarded all day long by their cell phone's electromagnetic waves, which in the long run can have consequences on their brain as well as on their libido, if not their fertility.
