Cell Phone Radiation Effects on Kids’ Learning Ability, Behavior
We all have already heard about the health risks posed by cell phone radiation, particularly on children and teens. Their still-developing organs and brains are more susceptible than those of mature adults. Damage to the genetic material in growing cells from exposure to radiofrequency waves, as research suggests, can lead to a host of problems with the proper development of those cells, and consequently of the tissues and organs.
However, there are more immediate effects than to just the physical health. Scientists in Spain 5 years ago have discovered that a call that lasts two minutes can alter the natural electrical activity of a child’s brain for up to an hour afterwards. Doctors fear that this disturbed brain activity in children could lead to psychiatric and behavioral problems or impair learning ability.
A UK government adviser on mobile phones, Dr Gerald Hyland, says he finds the results “extremely disturbing”. “It makes one wonder whether children, whose brains are still developing, should be using mobile phones,” he adds. “The results show that children’s brains are affected for long periods even after very short-term use. Their brain wave patterns are abnormal and stay like that for a long period. This could affect their mood and ability to learn in the classroom if they have been using a phone during break time, for instance. We don’t know all the answers yet, but the alteration in brain waves could lead to things like a lack of concentration, memory loss, inability to learn and aggressive behaviour.”
Considering that almost every teen nowadays uses a cell phone daily and can’t seem to live without it, what can a concerned parent do? The University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute director advised precautionary measures, including using the cell phone only for emergencies, using the speaker phone and/or a hands-free headset, etc. However, it is also important to use technological measures that neutralize the effects of the cell phone radiation itself. One such measure is a patented MRET-shield technology from Biopro that has been proven in numerous scientific tests to be quite effective in neutralizing the radiofrequency effects on the body.

Our children are quite literally our future. As the Head of Research at Lund University, Sweden, Professor Leif Salford, said, “The voluntary exposure of the brain to microwaves from hand-held mobile phones” is “the largest human biological experiment ever.” Do we really want to wait how it all turns out? This matter is not to be taken lightly.
