Cell phone users concerned with cancer risks now have low-cost solution
 
Waveguard, LLC., is pleased to announce the availability of Waveguard, the first low-cost, easy-to-use product available in the U.S. that attaches to cellular phones and absorbs potentially harmful electromagnetic radiation waves while users send and receive calls. The new product, which sells for $ 19.95, is easily mounted to any cellular phone to provide added safety to consumers concerned with the potential health risks associated with the microwave radiation emitted by cellular phones. "Consumers have been bombarded with a wide range of conflicting reports, studies and news coverage concerning the potential health risks of cellular phone usage," says Bradley Davidson, president and CEO of Waveguard. "Our new Waveguard device offers cell phone users a simple attachment that absorbs the potentially harmful radiation, and helps provide piece of mind about concerns for brain cancer and other medical problems." Waveguard is a small, oblong disc that is attached to the ear piece of the cellular phone with an adhesive pad. It requires no batteries or power source and can be used on any cellular phone on the market today. It is designed to absorb the potentially harmful stray electromagnetic radiation generated during the transmission and reception of cellular phone signals. Waveguard's design uses concentric circles of a highly conductive material that absorbs a majority of the stray electromagnetic radiation. Developed in South Korea, Waveguard's laboratory and field tests show the product absorbs more than 80 percent of electromagnetic radiation. Cellular phones utilize electromagnetic waves to convey the voice signal. The specific radio frequency that cellular phones utilize is very high and an energy source many medical experts believe can interfere with the body's central nervous system. In recent years, questions concerning health risks associated with exposure to electromagnetic radiation have arisen. A study done in Australia by the Royal Adelaide Hospital (as reported in Microwave News Magazine, 1991) reports that mice exposed to electromagnetic radiation from cellular phones were nearly twice as likely to develop lymphomas as were unexposed mice. As recently as January 1998, major newspapers quoted British bio-electromagnetic scientist Roger Coghill as saying cellular telephones should have a health warning. Coghill went on to say that "in my opinion, and in the opinion of many scientists, anyone who uses a mobile telephone for over 20 minutes may be endangering their health." In 1985 there were 375,000 cellular phones in the United States. By 1995, that number had risen to more than 33 million, and today there are an estimated 55 million cellular phones in use. By the year 2000, it is estimated that the number of users will double to more than 100 million. "While the jury is still out on the potential for serious health risks associated with cellular phone usage, we believe Waveguard provides a prudent safeguard against any possible dangers," says Waveguard's Davidson. "Consumers that have concerns now have a choice to protect themselves or not through a very affordable and simple solution." Waveguard is available immediately directly from Waveguard, LLC for $ 19.95. It can be ordered by calling (888) 513-2185. Waveguard, LLC., is a provider of personal safety products based in Dana Point, California. The company is now launching Waveguard, the first electromagnetic absorbing device for cellular telephones in the United States.
