Mobile Cases That Reduce Radiation
Never Sacrifice Health For Mobile Convenience
Society has put so much focus on developing the perfect case to protect your phone from damage, but what’s protecting you from your phone? Introducing the world’s first case that protects YOU from the constant radiation (i.e. electromagnetic radio waves) being emitted from your phone…and looks super sexy!
Let’s face it, I am sure you have carried your cell phone around for more than an hour in your pocket over the past week. Do you even remember the last time you turned your phone off? New research actually shows that keeping your phone in your pocket for short periods of time can even impact fertility.
Research shows that 44% of cell phone users have even slept with their cell phones by their side so that they didn’t miss a notification.[i]
When considering that there are more than 6 billion cell phone subscribers globally (80% of world’s population), you ought to wonder the effect phones are having on our bodies? Especially when current statistics show that the average individual in North America spends 2.7 hours a day using their phone (watch high-definition movies on them, to make videos, issue voice commands, check email, go underwater, navigate with global positioning systems and surf the web in 3D). This is not to mention the fact that there are 690 million Google searches a month globally and 15.7 billion text messages sent each month!
Do you ever wonder the effect this is having on your health? Especially since the cell phone is often placed so close to your body during all activities (i.e. on your lap when watching videos, close to your head when talking, or in your pocket while in commuting).
Mobile technology is advancing exponentially. However with advancement in technology comes great responsibility. Cell phones have been around long enough now for there to be enough scientific data for long term studies to conclude the effect radiation is having on our health. Here are some shocking results from leading institutions and scientists:
- World Health Organization: In 2011, the World Health Organization said that cell phone radiation might be a “possible carcinogen”.
- Brain Cancer: Two analyses of 25 original publications identified a 50 to 90% increase in risk for two types of brain tumors: glioma and acoustic neuroma[i],[ii]
- Cancer: Cell phone use was associated with increased risk of acoustic neuroma and cancer of the pituitary gland in a prospective study of more than 790,000 women in the United Kingdom. [iii]
- Sperm Quality and Quantity: Six studies from the U.S., Australia, Japan and Europe reported that exposure to cell phone radiation had an adverse effect on sperm counts, motility and vitalityviii, xi,[iv],x,[v],[vi]
- Men who used cell phones more than 4 hours a day had a 42% lower sperm count and 33% lower sperm motility than non-users (sample pool 361 men).[i]
- Ovarian Follicles: Pregnant rats exposed to cell phone radiation for 15 minutes twice a day during the entire gestation period, had female pups with fewer ovarian follicles
Why do we need protection from radio waves?
Just like microwave uses radio waves to heat up water molecules in your food (i.e. through vibration), our cell phones electromagentic radio waves can absorb into the water molecules of our tissues and brain. After all, the human body is between 50-60% water…and with children’s this number increases!
Inspiration From The Microwave
Just like the microwave has a special door that reflects radio waves back into the microwave to heat up your food, the Kangaberry case has a special material that reflects radio waves away from your body. How much so? If you look inside of our Kangaberry Cases you will see a special lining, and this is the special material that shields you from radio frequency waves up to and greater than 50dB.
