Cordless Phone Radiation

As much as cell phones have taken over, there’s still something to be said for a landline. Maybe you work from home and require a more reliable and secure connection. Or maybe you just prefer the comfortable familiarity that a traditional phone provides. Whatever your reasons, many Americans have opted to maintain their landline connections, either along with or in lieu of a cell phone.

And if you’ve used a traditional phone in the past 20 years, the odds are good that it’s been cordless. Cordless phones provide a fair amount of portability, privacy, and convenience when compared to a wired phone. They allow you to engage in a phone call while traveling throughout your home, yet still offer the reliability some demand from a landline. They represent the best of both worlds for a lot of people.

Cordless phones don’t come without their drawbacks, however. They emit a potentially dangerous form of radiation that could be putting you and your family at risk for serious health problems. And they are doing this in incredibly high quantities — the radiation is emitted from the device 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Cordless phones and radiation
The headset of a cordless phone is constantly transmitting information to and from the base station. Whenever you receive a call or even talk on the phone, all of that has to go through the base station first. This communication between the base station and the receiver is what produces radiofrequency (RF) electric and magnetic field (EMF) radiation.

Radiofrequencies and electric and magnetic fields are regulated by the government, but perhaps not to the extent they should be. Exposure to any one device isn’t the problem — it’s what happens when you are exposed to multiple devices all throughout the day.

Unlike your cell phone, which produces RF-EMF radiation in bursts when you send or receive data, cordless phones emit RF-EMF radiation so long as they are on. Cumulatively, this means cordless phones may be even more dangerous than cell phones when it comes to EMF radiation.

Another problem with cordless phones is our proximity to them, both when in use and in standby. When you use a cordless phone, it is pressed right up against your head. In fact, the signal from the base station to the receiver could be going directly through your brain. That proximity translates to significantly higher exposure to EMF radiation than if you were talking on speakerphone with the device at least six inches from your body.

I was born lavendar but melted and sunk and dripped down walls like hot wax until I found myself pooled at the bottom, only my dad used to smoke indoors and drywall and smoke have an infatuation, so now I am only a smoky maroon.
I never used to believe in ghosts, but now EMF scanners explode and the room is chilled every time I take a good, long look in the mirror.
I used to be sturdy,
like a tree with more rings than my mother keeps in her top drawer, but now my joints crack like firewood every morning when I get out of bed and I stretch wide enough to fill a whole forest.
I used to shudder when boys looked at the pattern on my skirt,
but eventually the dip of my collarbones became a sanctuary for every pious boy to visit, eyes closed and speaking in tongues, the heads of their beds becoming crucifixes but the only thing getting nailed was me.
I realize I am different now. But I also realize that photographers find smoke beautiful, and babies can see the dead. i remember that marshmallows are best over campfires and that some people still believe in god.
