Dr. George Carlo, EMF scientist and former cell phone industry advocate, first blew the whistle on the dangers of cell phones October 20, 1999 during ABC's 20/20 news program in an explosive report based on six years of studies commissioned and paid for by the cell phone industry itself. Dr. Carlo, formerly the industry's leading expert and top scientist on consumer health and cellular/wireless technology, broke ranks to give consumers caution throughout the world. His solemn warning simply stated, cell phone technology, 'can no longer be considered completely safe.'

Dr. Carlo's years of research into cell phone use and consumer safety concluded there was direct evidence linking cell phone use with two primary health problems, brain tumors and genetic damage a precursor to cancer. Carlo's research concluded cell phone users were twice as likely to suffer from brain cancer and rare tumors than non-users.

ABC's nationwide broadcast last October resulted in immediate responses from the FCC, FDA and the cellular industry (CTIA). Despite accusations that the health effects of cellular phone radiation are being withheld from consumers by the cellular industry and the government, the FDA proposed a collaborative project with CTIA to investigate this issue. Producers at ABC's 20/20 plan to re-air this groundbreaking story this Friday May 26, 2000.

When cell phones first came out they were simply assumed to be safe and never tested for health risks. However, when held to the ear up to 60% of the cell phone's EMF emissions penetrate the skull and are absorbed by the user's brain. When tested in the laboratory, ABC's Brian Ross found every cell phone tested exceeded the Federal Communication Commission's SAR (specific absorption rate) standards when held in certain positions. Despite repeated request by consumer advocate groups calling for label warnings, cell phone manufacturers still refuse to place consumer SAR information on their products. While the cell phone industry continues to deny any health risks associated with their products, the Food and Drug Administration maintains more research is needed and has advocated the practice of prudent avoidance until further testing is done. With 80 million cell phone users in North America and 300 million cell phone users worldwide, the potential for a global health disaster has never been more apparent.

Informed consumers aware of the alarming scientific evidence and the natural elctro-chemical balance of the body, continue seeking prudent protection from environmental EMF pollution caused by cell phones, computer screens, and power lines. Since 20/20's investigation first aired last year, headphones and microphone clips have become popular accessories for educated cell phone users hoping to reduce the harmful EMF emissions into the brain; however, users usually wear the phone on their belt reducing exposure to the brain and increasing exposure to the torso and reproductive organs. One common misconception regarding cell phone safety is that by moving the device away from the brain, users eliminate exposure to harmful EMF and the resulting risk to health. The second dangerous misconception is that cell phones do not emit harmful radiation while operating on stand-by mode.According to EMF researcher and Electroshield Of North America co-founder Dave Ashton, "Long term damage comes from cell phones in the stand-by mode. Phone 'shield' covers and ear pieces cannot adequately address these problems."

Ashton became an expert on environmental EMF pollution out of necessity. In a last ditch effort to save his dairy farm from livestock deaths caused by a phenomenon known among veterinarians and doctors as stray voltage, Ashton took a chance by investing in a new technology developed by a New Zealand quantum physicists. "The device promised to neutralize the electronic environment up to 1,500 square feet. It sounded to good to be true," recalls Ashton. The initial results were favorable and Asthon began referring other farmers to them. Not only did the death rate from electrical poisoning decline, farmers also began noticing herd health improve, milk production increase, and even the chickens began laying more eggs. Where the animals felt better, so did the people. Soon farmers across Wisconsin and people living or working in the environments neutralized by the Electroshield reported improvements in health and feelings of well being. The anecdotal evidence verified the double blind medical test results and substantiated the product's claims.

Recognizing the universal application of the neutralizers and its inherent health benefits, Ashton co-founded Electroshield of North America to bring the this state-of-the-art technology to consumers throughout North America. "Of greatest concern now, are the 300 million cell phone users who are continuously exposed to cell phone radiation on a daily basis," says Ashton. "With the convenience and apparent necessity of wireless and cellular technology. prudent avoidance is not always practical; however, with the Electroshield neutralizers prudent protection now is."
