MOBILE / WIRELESS PHONE RADIATION IN HOMOEOPATHIC PERSPECTIVE

A study in Sweden ‘s rebro University indicates that mobile phones and other cordless telephones have a biological effect on the Brain .It is still too early to say if any health risks are involved , but medical researchers Fredrik S +derqvist recommends caution in the use of these phones, above all among children and adolescents .Few children who regularly use mobile use a handset often or always ,even though the Swedish Radiation safety Authority recommends this. “Children may be more sensitive than adults to radiation from wireless phones.” Says Fredrik S+derqvist , who is presenting this research findings in a new doctoral thesis at +rebro University.

On the other hand , he examined the use of wireless telephones among children and adolescents, on the other hand, whether adolescents themselves perceive any health problems that might be related to this use. HOMOEOPATHIC WAY OF RESEARCH:- Homoeopathic researchers found that use of mobile phone have some effects on different body organs.They have potentised it to antidote its effects on body . HOMOEOPATHIC PROVINGS:- The following is excerpts from the proving of Mobile phone radiation, published in Homoeopathic Medical Panorama January-March 2002 . Why this proving? There is no need to explain about the hazards of mobile phone radiation as much have brought out by the media. Still its use in every day life is only increasing, as also is the ever-increasing range of symptoms experienced by users. It seemed an obvious choice for a proving. The Substance - Toxicity & Resources Research is currently being conducted around the world on the effects of radiation emission from mobile phones on the brain and is being widely reported in the Media. At present one of the main causes for alarm are the effects of microwave fields on the blood-brain safety barrier, an opening of which may allow proteins and toxins to enter the brain. Some researchers warn that low level radiation from mobile phone handsets heats the brain, causing headaches, memory loss and dizziness. Pharmaceutical Preparation:- We asked two moderate users of mobile phones for their assistance. They were each given a 4g. bottle of lactose which was attached to the mobile phone, and the number and length of calls were logged. They were also requested to avoid leaving the phone and attached lactose close to any other interference such as TV's or microwave ovens, etc. Phone 1: Model: Eriksson GH337 Digital Server: Cellnet Total call exposure time: 5 minutes Phone 2: Model: Nokia 5.1 Digital Server: Orange Total call exposure time: 2 hours, 16 minutes Equal quantities of the two exposed lactose powders were then mixed together and triturated to a 3c in accordance with footnotes to paragraph 270 of the 6th edition of the Organon. Potentisation in liquid form was continued up to a 30c. The Provers:- The proving was started in January 1999. It was conducted using guidelines as laid out in 'The Dynamics and Methodology of Homoeopathic Provings’, by Jeremy Sherr. Seven of the eight provers, all of them females, where given potencies 6c 12c and 30c, one was given placebo (who did not report any symptoms) and one prover attempted antidote after one day so she was exempted from the experiment .The provers were instructed to take up to a maximum of three doses, twice a day, for a maximum of two days, and to stop as soon as symptoms appeared. For the majority, only one or two doses were necessary. Acknowledgements Our heartfelt thanks to all involved: To all the second year students of South Downs School of Homoeopathy without whose total enthusiasm and energy this proving would not have been possible. To Lenise Shaw for her unwavering help in the collation. To Ian Sandon for his support and enthusiasm, and for sharing the arm power involved in the trituration! And to Helios for supplying the finished remedy! The Proving Mind:- Increased alertness and clarity of Ideas, which are more resolute, more cut and dried than normal.
