Some Interesting Facts About Cell Phones:
Did You Know?


back to topCELL SHIELD QUESTIONS & ANSWERS:
Question: Does Cell Shield fit any phone?
Answer: Yes. Cell Shield fits all models of phones currently on the market from all of the major manufacturers.
Question: How do I know that Cell Shield really works?
Answer: Since electromagnetic waves are invisible it can often be hard to tell. People who have noticed headaches, or the feeling that their "head is heating up" from excessive cell phone use, have reported no longer having these symptoms after applying the Cell Shield. Cell Shield has been tested in numerous independent studies in both the US and overseas and has been found to block from 70% to 90% of the radiation that could otherwise enter the body. (Copies of the reports are available upon request.)
Question: How does Cell Shield work?
Answer: Cellular phones emit electromagnetic waves in an omni-directional pattern. That means that these potentially harmful waves are being dispersed in all directions from your cell phone. When your phone is held next to your head some of these waves are blocked by the bone component of your skull. The radiation emitted from the earpiece however, encounters little resistance from the soft tissue of the ear canal. Cell Shield is the culmination of 8 years of intensive research and development in cellular protection. Cell Shield is made of a ceramic composition that absorbs electromagnetic radiation waves.
Question: Does Cell Shield affect the performance of my phone?
Answer: Absolutely not.
Question: Is Cell Shield difficult to apply?
Answer: No. Cell Shield applies easily in just a few seconds. Application requires NO tools or special equipment.
Question: Where does the Cell Shield attach to my phone?
Answer: One attaches over the earpiece of the phone; the other, smaller unit, attaches near the antenna.
back to topQuestion: Is it obtrusive or uncomfortable?
Answer: No. Cell Shield is comprised of two pieces. The first is a small absorbing shield that fits seamlessly over the earpiece of any cell phone. It allows sound to pass freely but helps absorb the radiation. The second is a small radiation blocking "button" that gets applied to the top of phone near the antenna, which helps block incidental radiation that may enter the brain through the skull.
Question: Does radiation from my phone really cause health problems?
Answer: The debate is still ongoing. Although there is not definitive proof, there has been overwhelming evidence of the potential that cell phones may cause serious health problems. These possible health problems include brain tumors, headaches, reduced response times and a rare form of leukemia. This evidence has been comprised from numerous studies performed worldwide.
Question: How could such a simple solution protect me from harmful radiation and why haven't cell phone manufacturers installed the technology into their new phones?
Answer: The technology is not installed by the cell phone manufacturers due to the numerous law suits that are currently awaiting trial. The inclusion of a radiation absorber into a cell phone, would be considered by many, as an admission by the manufacturers that cell phones are harmful. An admission that could cost the industry millions of dollars, if not more, just in pending and future court cases. Cell phone manufacturers are reluctant to admit that there is any danger posed by the use of cell phones. The cell phone industry even went as far as too fire the doctor, Dr. George Carlo(author of the book "Cell Phones, Invisible Dangers In The Wireless Age"), who they'd been employing for many years to study whether or not any dangers may exist. Originally hired to study whether or not cell phones may cause adverse health affects, Dr. Carlo was terminated once his testing came to the conclusion (after years of intense research & testing) that indeed there could be much cause for concern.
Question: Does Cell Shield wear out over time?
Answer: No. Cell Shield lasts for the lifetime of your phone and requires no maintenance.
Question: Can I remove it from one phone and apply it to a different phone?
Answer: No. Cell Shield can only be applied to one phone because of the backing which attaches it to the phone.
Question: Is Cell Shield effective on common household cordless phones?
Answer: At the present time there is no immediate concern about the safety of these phones, although some people have chosen not to take the risk. A cordless phone used at the home does not transmit waves as powerful as a cell phone which can transmit wave strong enough to travel 50 miles. However, as common household cordless phones become more and more powerful (work at longer distances) it may be of a concern in the future.
Question: How do cell phones work and why do they create harmful radiation?
Answer: Cell phones do not send signals directly to satellites as many would think. They transmit microwave signals to relay stations, or "cell sites" which then bounce the signal up to the nearest satellite. These relay station towers can be up to 50 miles away, so the signal must be powerful enough to reach the relay station towers. Further, since telephone communication is two-way, the signal being transmitted is duplex, which means it is constantly transmitting microwave signals even when the user is listening and not talking. This significantly increases the time we are exposed to these waves.
Question: How does Cell Shield differ from other products claiming to absorb radiation?
Answer: Cell Shield's "two-component absorption system" holds many US and International Patents and comes from 8 years of intensive scientific research and development in cellular protection. Cell Shield is made of a ceramic composition that absorbs electromagnetic radiation waves.
Question: What happens to the radiation after the Cell Shield absorbs it, where does it go?
Answer: Electromagnetic waves are a form of energy. Physics tells us that energy never disappears or goes away, it just changes its form. When the waves pass into the cell shield they encounter resistance, which converts the energy from electromagnetic waves into a small amount of harmless heat. The amount of heat generated is minute, and cannot be observed by human touch. So for all intensive purposes the waves are dissipated and do not remain stored in the Cell Shield.
Question: Has Cell Shield been tested?
Answer: Yes. Cell Shield has been tested in laboratories around the world. Global Certification Laboratories, Ltd. located in East Haddam, CT, concluded that the near-field emissions were reduced by 90%. In Korea, the DaeWoo and Samsung laboratories have tested Cell Shield to be effective in absorbing up to 70% of the electromagnetic wave, and in reducing the heat penetrating the body tissue up to 90%. In Germany, the prestigious Institute of Mobile and Satellite Technology (IMST) which was featured on ABC's 20/20 story on cell phone radiation, has tested Cell Shield to be effective in reducing the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) up to 30%.
Question: What is the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)?
Answer: It is the amount of energy from an antenna that passes through a biological tissue during a specified time period. It is measured in watts of power per kilogram of tissue.
