Dr. Weeks’ Comment: 5/8th of an inch. A distance, we now learn, can mean the difference between life and death by cancer.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy from iPhone
iPhone transmits and receives radio frequency (RF) energy through its antennas. The iPhone cellular antenna is located at the bottom edge of iPhone, to the left of the Home button. The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® antenna is located at the top edge of iPhone, to the right of the headset jack……. When carrying iPhone, keep it 1.5 cm (5/8 inch) or more away from your body to ensure exposure levels remain at or below the maximum levels. Avoid cases with metal parts.

For the past 10 years I have strenuously warned my patients (and also my family members, and friends, and neighbors, and also people I meet in elevators, and policemen who suggest I slow down, and school administrators/teachers – especially those who teach in computer labs… you get the picture… I warn EVERYONE!) about the dangers of electrical pollution from
1) cell phones,
2) cell towers,
3) WIFI
4) portable phones (“DECT phones – those that sit in a stand atop your bedside table from whence you can pick it up and walk talking to your back yard),
5) compact fluorescent “curly” “energy-efficient” light bulbs,
6) dimmer switches (yup: they set up high frequency transients which create electoral pollution)
7) microwave ovens and many more energy saving devices.
For almost a decade, I have lectured on the public health implications of electrical pollution emanating from our toys of convenience. See www.weeksclinic.com for lectures on electrical pollution and the ways you can stay safe. I have organized national workshops featuring the thought leaders in this field of electrical pollution and I have referred hundreds of concerned citizens to website resources of David Stetzer www.stetzerelectric.com and Prof. Magda Havas www.magdahavas.com – two courageous pioneers in demonstrating the toxic effect of electrical pollution. Other excellent resources are www.electricalpollution.com and http://safalab.com/home.php?cat=250 . At this website www.weeksmd.com there is a treasure trove of excellent articles (#85 and counting as of this post) if you search “electric” or “cell phone” or “electrical pollution”.
In 2009, my daughter Anastasia measured and documented the precise degrees of variable electrical pollution at each outlet in her entire high school. She documented it and proposed to “electriclear” the entire school. The Weeks Clinic offered to gift a sufficient number of electrical filters to the high school which would have eliminated the electrical pollution BUT….. the school board and the district supervisor refused to acknowledge the data, dismissed the interpretation and politely refused the gift of many thousands of dollars worth of Stetzer filters which would have cleared up the electrical pollution. We humans are indeed creatures of habit.
So, if you are curious (and want to avoid cancers of the brain or parotid gland or hip bone or penis or ovaries or breast – YES some women DO carry cell phones in their bra!!!) then turn off your cell phone (or at least take it out of your pocket and put it at an arm’s length from you – and everyone else!) and watch this video of conventional scientists finally catching up with Stetzer and Havas and declaring that cell phones cause cancer.
Now, dear Reader, do YOU use an iPhone?
If so, did you read the user’s manual?
This is from the I Phone 4 manual…..

Dr. Weeks 4 Recommendations for Safe Cell Phoning:
1) Never keep keep your cell phone on while in your pocket. (As you travel through space – in a car, the cell phone will constantly send out maximum radiation to determine whether its current cell tower is still the optimal one for it to transmit to and from).
2) Never allow the cell phone to touch you when it is on (That is right: don’t hold it touching your hand and don’t touch it to your ear/skull). Use the speaker phone option or air-tube headset and have phone on a table away from you).
3) Keep your cell phone turned off and then turn it on every 15 minutes or so to check your messages (Why not be the CEO of your own life! Use the on/off feature as your “receptionist”. Then return calls at YOUR convenience, ideally from a land line).
4) Don’t talk so much. (Your cell phone radiates you MORE when you are talking then when you are listening. Be a good listener and live longer!)
