Don't Give Up Your Landline Just Yet

The other day an award-winning film producer from the Middle East flew to Albany and hired PilotGirl to help shoot his documentary. A small, low-budget, independent documentary with little cash and little time, but tons of promise for distribution throughout Europe.

I can't disclose the scientists and authority figures we talked to but I can hope the film makes it to America because it impacts anyone who uses a cellphone, computer monitor or wi-fi connection.

As you might have guessed it's about electromagnetic radiation, that invisible stuff we confront every day in our IT world. It's no secret that prominent neurologists have been discouraging cellphone use for years because of a possible cancer connection. Many cancer experts feel there's a direct link between brain tumors and extended cellphone use next to the ear. The FDA does not have enough information to make this claim but the top experts we interviewed concur that this warrants an immediate advisory.

Unlike natural electromagnetic waves (solar and cosmic) the issue has something to do with artificial electromagnetic waves emitting "pulses" that damage living cells in our body.

Like smoking a cigarette, not everybody is affected by EMf in the same way but it does give me pause, wondering how much of a role the cellphone plays in a former colleague's recent diagnosis with malignant brain tumors.

This is very scary stuff and just to be on the safe side of electro-pollution I'm wrapping my phone in a thin shielding mesh material called SKIN-BLOK. Products aimed to help reduce EMf can be found right here in Albany at an unassuming store-front on Madison Ave.
