Mobile Phones
How did we ever live without them?! I amaze myself with the many times I reach for my phone: What’s the time? When was that meeting? ‘Ding’ - an email! ‘Gong’ a message! Oh, I better take a photo of this. How do I get to my next client on the fastest route? I better send that quote. Quickly order some fertiliser… - These things do absolutely and just about everything. It’s even helping me to stay fit!
What we don’t consider, is that everything the ‘phone’ does, requires data to flow and therefore emits microwaves. Are we aware, that the phone manufacturers require us NOT to hold the phone against the head, so we don’t get brain tumours? (see safety instructions on the phone)
Have you considered that with 4/5G, Bluetooth, and Wifi, we are constantly bombarding ourselves with microwaves? Only last week, I measured a client’s home office. The exposure from wifi was over 50,000 microwatts/ m2. This is 50 times the extreme level of the Buildingbiological Measuring Standard! We are working on bringing this down into the ‘low exposure’ range, by moving the modems and reducing their output, as well as hard wiring as much of the network as possible.
Beware that these microwaves can cause damage- don’t ignore the issue, until it is too late. Lack of energy and fatigue are often difficult to detect, because we assume it is just part of ageing, or being overworked. Cancer is not that easy to ignore and much more difficult to reverse.
The emissions from mobile phones are digitally pulsed, sending packets of data on a microwave carrier-wave. These packets are very penetrating high intensity peaks, allowing mobile phones to operate with astonishingly little power. When safety values are calculated, they average the peaks and the breaks between them, which makes the impact sound benign. It is like hitting your thumb with a hammer every 5 minutes and averaging that with the breaks in between: Would you be worried about the next hammer hit, or trust that the average has been calculated to be just a gentle touch?
Enough complaining, - I’m really working up to solutions:
Use your mobile on speaker, if possible.
Get a shielding case like the Vest wallets on this website https://buildingbiologyservices.com/shop/p/vest-phone-radiation-protection (magic stickers don’t work)
Keep it away from childrens’ soft skulls and growing bodies. Not to be carried in prams or in bras!
Turn OFF the wifi and Bluetooth in your phone’s settings
Turn on Airplane Mode during the night, if you use the phone as an alarm at your bedside.
Hard-wire your home network
Use wifi only ON DEMAND, when you actually need it. Otherwise: Turn it off on the modem and on your device.
Purchase a wifi router/modem like the JRS one, which can be dialled down, time limited etc.
Make sure the modem is not near anyone, when operating
Note, that each device in your household emits wifi to communicate with the router. It is best to connect them to Internet/ network via a cable.

Just a reminder: The wifi and bluetooth on your mobile phone are turned on, by default. Go to Settings and turn them off.
