    Warning: Your Cell Phone May Be Hazardous to

    Your Health

    Ever worry that that gadget you spend hours holding next to your headmight be damaging your brain? Well, the evidence is starting to pour in,

    and it's not pretty.

    So why isn't anyone in America doing anything about it?

    EARLIER THIS WINTER, I met an investment banker who was diagnosed with a brain tumor five yearsago. He's a managing director at a top Wall Street firm, and I was put in touch with him through acolleague who knew I was writing a story about the potential dangers of cell-phone radiation. He agreedto talk with me only if his name wasn't used, so I'll call him Jim. He explained that the tumor waslocated just behind his right ear and was not immediately fatalthe five-year survival rate is about 70percent. He was 35 years old at the time of his diagnosis and immediately suspected it was the result ofhis intense cell-phone usage. "Not for nothing," he said, "but in investment banking we've been using

    cell phones since 1992, back when they were the Gordon-Gekko-on-the-beach kind of phone." WhenJim asked his neurosurgeon, who was on the staff of a major medical center in Manhattan, about thepossibility of a cell-phone-induced tumor, the doctor responded that in fact he was seeing more andmore of such casesyoung, relatively healthy businessmen who had long used their phones obsessively.He said he believed the industry had discredited studies showing there is a risk from cell phones. "I got a

    sense that he was pissed off," Jim told me. A handful of Jim's colleagues had already died from braincancer; the more reports he encountered of young finance guys developing tumors, the more certain hefelt that it wasn't a coincidence. "I knew four or five people just at my firm who got tumors," Jim says."Each time, people ask the question. I hear it in the hallways."

    It's hard to talk about the dangers of cell-phone radiation without sounding like a conspiracy theorist.This is especially true in the United States, where non-industry-funded studies are rare, where legislationprotecting the wireless industry from legal challenges has long been in place, and where our lives havebeen so thoroughly integrated with wireless technology that to suggest it might be a problemmaybe,eventually, a very big public-health problemis like saying our shoes might be killing us.

    Except our shoes don't send microwaves directly into our brains. And cell phones doa fact that hasincreasingly alarmed the rest of the world. Consider, for instance, the following headlines that haveappeared in highly reputable international newspapers and journals over the past few years. Fromsummer 2006, in theHamburg Morgenpost: ARE WE TELEPHONING OURSELVES TO DEATH? That fall, inthe Danish journalDagens Medicin: MOBILE PHONES AFFECT THE BRAIN'S METABOLISM. December2007, from Agence France-Presse: ISRAELI STUDY SAYS REGULAR MOBILE USE INCREASES TUMOURRISK. January 2008, in London'sIndependent: MOBILE PHONE RADIATION WRECKS YOUR SLEEP.September 2008, in Australia's The Age: SCIENTISTS WARN OF MOBILE PHONE CANCER RISK.

    Though the scientific debate is heated and far from resolved, there are multiple reports, mostly out ofEurope's premier research institutions, of cell-phone and PDA use being linked to "brain aging," brain

    damage, early-onset Alzheimer's, senility, DNA damage, and even sperm die-offs (many men, after all,keep their cell phones in their pants pockets or attached at the hip). In September 2007, the EuropeanUnion's environmental watchdog, the European Environment Agency, warned that cell-phonetechnology "could lead to a health crisis similar to those caused by asbestos, smoking, and lead inpetrol."

    Perhaps most worrisome, though, are the preliminary results of the multinational Interphone studysponsored by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, in Lyon, France. (Scientists fromthirteen countries took part in the study, the United States conspicuously not among them.) Interphoneresearchers reported in 2008 that after a decade of cell-phone use, the chance of getting a brain tumorspecifically on the side of the head where you use the phonegoes up as much as 40 percent for adults.Interphone researchers in Israel have found that cell phones can cause tumors of the parotid gland (thesalivary gland in the cheek), and an independent study in Sweden last year concluded that people whostarted using a cell phone before the age of 20 were five times as likely to develop a brain tumor.Another Interphone study reported a nearly 300 percent increased risk of acoustic neuroma, a tumor ofthe acoustic nerve.

    As more results of the Interphone study trickled out, I called Louis Slesin, who has a doctorate inenvironmental policy from MIT and in 1980 founded an investigative newsletter calledMicrowave

    3/15

    News. "No one in this country cared!" Slesin said of the findings. "It wasn't news!" He suggested thatmuch of the comfort of our modern lives depends on not caring, on refusing to recognize the dangers ofmicrowave radiation. "We love our cell phones. The paradigm that there's no danger here is part of aworldview that had to be put into place," he said. "Americans are not asking the questions, maybebecause they don't want the answers. So what will it take?"

    TO UNDERSTAND HOW radiation from cell phones and wireless transmitters affects the human brain, andto get some sense of why the concerns raised in so many studies outside the U.S. are not being seriouslyraised here, it's necessary to go back fifty years, long before the advent of the cell phone, to the researchof a young neuroscientist named Allan Frey.

    In 1960, Frey, then 25, was working at General Electric's Advanced Electronics Center at CornellUniversity when he was contacted by a technician whose job was to measure the signals emitted byradar stations. At the time, Frey had taken an interest in the electrical nature of the human body,specifically in how electric fields affect neural functioning. The technician claimed somethingincredible: He said he could "hear" radar at one of the sites where he worked.

    Frey traveled to the facility and stood in the radar field. "And sure enough, I could hear it, too," he said,describing the persistent low-level hum. Frey went on to establish that the effect was realelectromagnetic (EM) radiation from radar could somehow be heard by human beings. The "hearing,"however, didn't happen via normal sound waves perceived through the ear. It occurred somewhere in thebrain itself, as EM waves interacted with the brain's cells, which generate tiny electrical fields. This ideacame to be known as the Frey effect, and it caused an uproar in the neuroscience community.

    The waves that Frey was concerned with were those emitted from the nonionizing part of the EMspectrumthe part that scientists always assumed could do no outright biological damage. When Freybegan his research, it was assumed that the only way microwaves could have a damaging biological

    effect was if you increased the power of their signals and concentrated them like sword pointsto thelevel where they could cook flesh. In 1967, this resulted in the first popular microwave oven, whichemployed microwave frequencies at very high power, concentrated and contained in a metal box. Asidefrom this engineered thermal effect, the signals were assumed to be safe.

    Allan Frey would help pioneer the science that suggested otherwise. At the vanguard of a new field ofstudy that came to be known as bioelectromagnetics, he found what appeared to be grave nonthermaleffects from microwave frequenciesthe part of the spectrum that belongs not just to radar signals andmicrowave ovens but also, in the past fifteen years, to cell phones. (The only honest way to think of ourcell phones is that they are tiny, low-power microwave ovens, without walls, that we hold against thesides of our heads.) Frey tested microwave radiation on frogs and other lab animals, targeting the eyes,the heart, and the brain, and in each case he found troubling results. In one study, he triggered heartarrhythmias. Then, using the right modulations of the frequency, he even stopped frog hearts withmicrowavesstopped the hearts dead.

    Frey observed two factors in how microwaves at low power could affect living systems. First, there wasthe carrier wave: a frequency of 1,900 megahertz, for example, the same frequency of many cell phonestoday. Then there was the data placed on the carrier wavein the case of cell phones, this would be thesounds, words, and pictures that travel along it. When you add information to a carrier wave, it embeds a

  • 8/14/2019 Warning- Your Cell Phone May Be Hazardous to Your Health

    4/15

    second signala second frequencywithin the carrier wave. This is known as modulation. A carrierwave can support any number of modulations, even those that match the extra-low frequencies at whichthe brain operates (between eight and twenty hertz). It was modulation, Frey discovered, that inducedthe widest variety of biological effects. But how this happened, on a neuronal level, he didn't yetunderstand.

    In a study published in 1975 in theAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Frey reported thatmicrowaves pulsed at certain modulations could induce "leakage" in the barrier between the circulatorysystem and the brain. Breaching the blood-brain barrier is a serious matter: It means the brain'senvironment, which needs to be extremely stable for nerve cells to function properly, can be perturbed inall kinds of dangerous ways. Frey's method was rather simple: He injected a fluorescent dye into thecirculatory system of white rats, then swept the microwave frequencies across their bodies. In a matterof minutes, the dye had leached into the confines of the rats' brains.

    Frey says his work on radar microwaves and the blood-brain barrier soon came under assault from thegovernment. Scientists hired and funded by the Pentagon claimed they'd failed to replicate his findings,

    yet they also refused to share the data or methodology behind their research ("a most unusual action inscience," Frey wrote at the time). For more than fifteen years, Frey had received almost unrestrictedfunding from the Office of Naval Research. Now he was told to conceal his blood-brain-barrier work orhis contract would be canceled.

    Since then, no meaningful research into the effect of microwaves on the blood-brain barrier has beenpursued in the United States. But a Swedish neurosurgeon, Leif Salford, recently expanded on Frey'swork, confirming much of what Frey revealed decades ago. Salford found that microwave exposurekilled rodents' brain cells and stimulated neurons associated with Alzheimer's. "A rat's brain is verymuch the same as a human's," he said in a 2003 interview with the BBC. "They have the same blood-brain barrier and neurons. We have good reason to believe that what happens in rats' brains also happens

    in humans'. " His research, he said, suggests that "a whole generation of [cell-phone] users may suffernegative effects in middle age."

    THE POTENTIAL complications don't end there. In the mid-1990s, a biophysicist at the University ofWashington named Henry Lai began to make profound discoveries about the effects of such frequenciesnot only on the blood-brain barrier but also on the actual structure of rat DNA. Lai found that modulatedEM radiation could cause breaks in DNA strandsbreaks that could then lead to genetic damage andmutations that would be passed on for generations. What surprised Lai was that the damage wasaccomplished in a single two-hour exposure.

    "This was explosive news," Slesin said. "The reason it was so important was at the time you had allthese allegations of brain tumors and cell phones being connected"specifically the 1992 lawsuitbrought by a Florida man, David Reynard, against a number of companies that manufactured phones andprovided cell service, following the death of his wife from a brain tumor. "If you can break up DNAwith cell-phone radiation, suddenly it's not such a stretch to think of brain tumors developing from thisradiation."

    Galvanized by the Reynard case, Motorola frantically mobilized to reassure its investors. Then, in 1994,the company went on the attack to discredit Lai, issuing a memo, later obtained by Slesin, stating it had

  • 8/14/2019 Warning- Your Cell Phone May Be Hazardous to Your Health

    5/15

    "war-gamed" Lai's work. "We do not believe that Motorola should put anyone on-camera," the memosaid. "We must limit our corporate visibility." It further stated that the "key question" was whether "thisexperiment [can] be replicated."

    The cell-phone industry funds lots of risk studies, and many of them show no effect from cell-phone-

    related radiation. The industry pointed to those favorable studies when countering Lai's DNA findings.(In 2004, it should be pointed out, a European Unionfunded study carried out by twelve researchgroups in seven countries found evidence of genotoxic effects resulting from cell-phone radiationthesame kind of DNA damage that Henry Lai uncovered in the 1990s.) But when Jerry Phillips, a scientistwith the Veterans Administration whose work was funded by Motorola, replicated Lai's findings, thecompany put him under so much pressure not to publish that Phillips abruptly quit microwave researchaltogether.

    Industry-funded studies seem to reflect the result of corporate strong-arming. Lai reviewed 350 studiesand found that about half showed bioeffects from EM radiation emitted by cell phones. But when hetook into consideration the funding sources for those 350 studies, the results changed dramatically. Only

    25 percent of the studies paid for by the industry showed effects, compared with 75 percent of thosestudies that were independently funded.

    The cell-phone industry has managed to exert its influence in other ways, too. In the United States, theorganization most influential in the government's setting of standards for microwave exposure is theInstitute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), which bills itself as "a leading authority on areasranging from aerospace systems, computers, and telecommunications to biomedical engineering, electricpower, and consumer electronics." According to Slesin, "The committees setting the EM safety levels atthe IEEE historically have been dominated by representatives from the military, companies like Raytheonand GE, the telecom companies, and now the cell-phone industry. It is basically a Trojan horse for theprivate sector to dictate public policy." The IEEE's "safe limits" for microwave exposure are considerably

    higher than what they should be, says Allan Frey, who was a member of the organization in the '70s."When it comes to this matter, the IEEE is a charade," Frey told me.

    There have been attempts over the years to set exposure limits based on something other than industryand military preference. In the '70s and '80s, the Environmental Protection Agency was foremost in thiseffort. But with Ronald Reagan in office, antiregulatory sentiment crested and the EPA's research andstandards programs were gutted.

    Among the EPA's most talented bioelectromagnetics experts at the time was Carl Blackman, who hasworked at the agency since its inception in 1970. Blackman's research at the EPA would advance muchof what Allan Frey and others had discovered: The effects from EM fields were many and troubling,though far from fully understood. In 1986 the EPA killed Blackman's research entirely. Carl Blackmanbelieves "a decision was made to stop the civilian agencies from looking too deeply into the nonthermalhealth effects from exposure to EM fields. Scientists who have shown such effects over the years havebeen silenced, had funding taken away, been laughed at, been called charlatans and con men. The goalwas to only let in scientists who would say, 'We know that microwave ovens can cook meat, and that'sall we need to know.' " One veteran EPA physicist, speaking anonymously, told me, "The Department ofDefense didn't like our research because the exposure limits that we might recommend would curtailtheir activities."

    Industry influence appears to have permeated even the purest international watchdogs, such as theWorld Health Organization. Slesin unearthed a hoard of documents showing that hundreds of thousandsof dollars from the cell-phone industry was doled out to WHO personnel working on wireless healtheffects. Some of the heaviest pressure falls on the Federal Communications Commission, for obviousreasons. In 2005 the specially appointed thirty-member Technological Advisory Council to the FCC

    sought to look into EM effects on human beings. According to one member of the TAC who spokeanonymously, officials at the FCC "told us we couldn't talk about that. They would not give us anyreason. The FCC people were embarrassed and terrified."

    If all this sounds like some abandonedX-Files script, consider the history of suppression of evidence inthe major issues of consumer health over the past half century. Big Tobacco hid the dangers of smokingand the addictiveness of nicotine, supporting its position with countless deceptive studies. Asbestosmanufacturers hid evidence that the mineral was dangerous even as tens of thousands of workers diedfrom exposure; the makers ofDDT and Agent Orange stood behind their products even as it becameclear that the herbicides caused cancer. That the cell-phone industry, which last year posted revenues inthe hundreds of billions of dollars, has an incentive to shut down research showing the dangers of cell-

    phone use is not a radical notion.

    CELL TOWERS, AS YOU'D IMAGINE, also emit EM radiation in the microwave spectrum, and while thescience is much less exhaustive than that associated with handsets, the installations have nonethelessincited violence in various places around the globe. In Spain and Ireland, saboteurs have taken todestroying cell towers, cheered on by the communities living in their shadows. In Sydney, Australia, aretired telecom worker, convinced that cell towers had sickened him, hijacked a tank in the summer of2007 and rammed six towers to the ground before police were able to leap into the vehicle and subduehim. In Israel, which has the seventh-highest per capita use of mobile phones in the world, attacks ontowers have become a regular occurrence in recent years in both Jewish and Arab communities. Twoyears ago in Galilee, a Druze community protested the erection of a new tower, claiming that the towersalready in their midst had caused cancer rates to skyrocket. The tower was built anyway; soon after,local teenagers burned it down. When the police came for them, the Druze rioted, injuring more thantwenty-five officers.

    Here, in the U.S., there's been very little resistance to the march of the cell towers. In fact, in Congressthere's been almost nothing but support. The Telecommunications Act of 1996a watershed for thecell-phone industrywas the result, in part, of nearly $50 million in political contributions and lobbyinglargesse from the telecom industry. The prize in the TCA for telecom companies branching into wirelesswas a rider known as Section 704, which specifically prohibits citizens and local governments fromstopping placement of a cell tower due to health concerns. Section 704 was clear: There could be nolitigation to oppose cell towers because the signals make you sick.

    When President Bill Clinton signed the TCA into law in February 1996, the rollout of "personalcommunication services," marketed as PCS, was in full swing. By the end of the year, telecomcompanies had paid the federal government more than $8 billion to purchase portions of the microwave-frequency sequence. (According to the FCC, fees paid for allocation of spectrum as of 2009 amounted to$52 billion.) Almost immediately, cell-phone antennas sprang up across the country, appearing onchurch steeples and apartment buildings, in parks and along highways, on streetlights and clock towers

  • 8/14/2019 Warning- Your Cell Phone May Be Hazardous to Your Health

    7/15

    and flagpoles. One industry estimate tallied 19,850 such installations in the U.S. in 1995. Today thereare 247,000, most hosting multiple antennas.

    In a study by researchers associated with the venerable Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, which handsout the Nobel Prize for medicine, the massive expansion of digital PCS in Sweden during 1997 was

    found to have coincided with a marked but subtle decline in the overall health of the population. Might itbe, the Karolinska researchers asked, that Swedes fell victim to the march of the first big microwavePCS systems? The number of Swedish workers on sick leave, after declining for years, began to riseabruptly in late 1997, according to the study, doubling during the next five years. Sales of antidepressantdrugs doubles during the same period. The number of deaths from Alzheimer's disease rose sharply in1999 and had nearly doubled by 2001. The authors of the studyOlle Johansson, a neuroscientist, andrjan Hallberg, a former environmental manager for Ericsson, the Swedish telecommunicationscompany"found that for all individual counties in Sweden there was a similar precise time" whenhealth worsened. It occurred, they said, almost simultaneously with the rollout of the new digital service.Correlation does not mean causation, but epidemiologists I spoke with say the data are stronglysuggestive and need to be followed up. (In other studies at the Karolinska Institute, Johansson has

    posited that adverse reactions to cell-phone radiation may develop only after long periods of exposure,as the immune system fails, much in the way that allergies develop.)

    ALL OF THESE concernsthe danger of microwaves issuing from the phones we place next to our skulls,the danger of waves emitted by the cell towers that dot our landscapesalso apply to the Wi-Finetworks in our homes and libraries and offices and cafs and parks and neighborhoods. Wi-Fi operatestypically at a frequency of 2.4 gigahertz (the same frequency as microwave ovens) but is embedded witha wider range of modulations than cell phones, because we need it to carry more data. "It never ceases tosurprise me that people will fight a cell tower going up in their neighborhoods," Blake Levitt, author ofElectromagnetic Fields: A Consumer's Guide to the Issues and How to Protect Ourselves, told me."They they'll install a Wi-Fi system in their homes. That's like inviting a cell tower indoors."

    In the summer of 2006, a super-Wi-Fi system known as WiMAX was tested in rural Sweden.Bombarded with signals, the residents of the village of Gtenewho had no knowledge that thetransmitter had come onlinewere overcome by headaches, difficulty breathing, and blurred vision,according to a Swedish news report. Two residents reported to the hospital with heart arrhythmias,similar to those that, more than thirty years ago, Allen Frey induced in frog hearts. This happened onlyhours after the system was turned on, and as soon as it was powered down, the symptoms disappeared.

    Today, Sprint Nextel and Clearwire are set to establish similar technology across the U.S., with a $7.2billion government broadband stimulus speeding the rollout. A single WiMAX system would provideInternet coverage for an area of up to 75 square miles. "This means an even denser layer of radio-frequency pollution on top of what has developed over the last two decades," Blake Levitt says."WiMAX will require many new antennas."

    The concern about Wi-Fi is being taken seriously in Europe. In April 2008, the national library ofFrance, citing possible "genotoxic effects," announced it would shut down its Wi-Fi system, and thestaff of the storied Library of Sainte-Genevive in Paris followed up with a petition demanding thedisconnection of Wi-Fi antennas and their replacement by wired connections. Several Europeangovernments are already moving to prohibit Wi-Fi in government buildings and on campuses, and the

  • 8/14/2019 Warning- Your Cell Phone May Be Hazardous to Your Health

    8/15

    Austrian Medical Association is lobbying for a ban of all Wi-Fi systems in schools, citing the danger tochildren's thinner skulls and developing nervous systems.

    I DROVE DOWN to Annapolis, Maryland, recently to visit with Allan Frey. He was preparing to set out onhis forty-foot sailboat for a month at sea, so we talked at a restaurant near the marina. After retiring from

    full-time research in 1985, Frey, now 75, took up the philosophy of science as an avocation, looking atthe question of how science progresses, how it fails to progress, how new ideas are birthed or aborted,how a shift in paradigm is a rare thing. The failure to look squarely at the dangers of microwaveradiation is a case study in frozen paradigms, he said, a worldview that can't keep pace with reality.

    To illustrate what he meant, Frey held up a glass of water. "We're all just big teacups, bags of water thatyou can heat upthat's the paradigm," he said. It's the engineer's paradigm, the mind-set of people whohad no training in the complexity of living systems. The branches of the military, the major defensecontractors, the manufacturers of microwave ovens, the telecom companies, were happy to embrace theengineer's paradigm. The thinking was simple and easy to understand, and most important, itindemnified their operations from liability.

    "It's a very primitive mind-set," said Frey. "Plato said we don't see the reality; we see shadows on thecave walls. We've got a lot of people who are seeing shadows and saying this is the reality." He noddedat his water glass. "We now know a human being isn't a bag of water. A human being is a complexorganization of electrical fields. Electroencephalograms and electrocardiograms, for example, measurethese fields. Every cell has an electrical field across the cell membrane, which is a regulatory interfaceand controls what goes into and out of the cell. All nerve signals are electric. And between the nucleusand the membrane there is an electrical field, you can measure voltages of individual cells! Electricitydrives biology. We evolved in a particular electromagnetic environment"the magnetic fields from theearth's iron core, the terrestrial magnetism from lodestones, visible light, ultraviolet frequencies,lightning"and if we change that environment as we have, we either adapt or we have trouble."

    Later, after Frey and I parted, I walked around Annapolis and took note of the number of cell towerspoised atop the buildings, the number of people who talked on their cell phones. They were everywhere,and after a while I stopped counting. At one point, I watched two women pacing in a parking lot, headsbent against their microwave transmitters. They talked and talked and aimlessly circled. When I gothome, I looked up a line from Orwell that I couldn't quite remember as I watched them, about the powerthat machine technology would exert over mankind. "The machine has got to be accepted, but it isprobably better to accept it rather as one accepts a drugthat is, grudgingly and suspiciously," Orwellwrote. "Like a drug, the machine is useful, dangerous and habit-forming. The oftener one surrenders to itthe tighter its grip becomes."

    Modern society, needless to say, is in the grip of wireless technology. All you have to do to understandthis is step outside your door. "It just so happens," Frey had told me, "that the frequencies andmodulations of our cell phones seem to be the frequencies that humans are particularly sensitive to. Ifwe had looked into it a little more, if we had done the real science, we could have allocated spectrumsthat the body can't feel. The public should know if they are taking a risk with cell phones. What we'redoing is a grand world experiment without informed consent." As for Louis Slesin's questionwhat willit take to change the paradigm?Frey shook his head. "Until there are bodies in the streets," he said, "Idon't think anything is going to change."

    The BioElectric Shield Company has been dedicated to helping create a more balanced and peaceful

    world one person at a time since 1990.

    In the 1980s, when Dr. Charles Brown, DABCN, (Diplomate American College of ChiropracticNeurologists), the inventor of the Shield, became aware that a certain group of his patients exhibited

    consistent symptoms of stress and a slower rate of healing that the rest of his patient population. This

    group of patients all worked long hours in front of CRT computer screens for many hours a day, and

    usually 6 days a week. He began researching the effects of electromagnetic radiation in the literature, and

    found there were many associated health effects. He wanted to help these patients, and hoped that he

    could come up with a low-tech, high effect product.

    In 1989, he had a series of waking dream that

    showed him a specific pattern of crystals. Each

    of 3 dreams clarified the placement of the

    crystals. He showed the patterns to an individual

    who can see energy and she confirmed that the

    pattern produced several positive effects. She

    explained that the Shield interacts with a

    persons energy field (aura) to strengthen and

    balance it. Effectively it created a cocoon of

    energy that deflects away energies that are

    not compatible. In addition, the Shield acts to

    balance the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies of the aura.

    A series ofstudieswas conducted to investigate the possible protection from EMF's wearing this kind ofdevice. Happily the studies were consistent in showing that people remained strong when exposed to

    these frequencies. Without the shield, most people showed measurable weakening in the presence ofboth

    EMFs and stress. Of interest to us was that these same effects were noted when people IMAGINED

    stress in their lives. It seems obvious that how we think and what we are exposed to physically both have

    an energy impact on us. The Shield addresses energy issues-stabilizing a person's energy in adverse

    conditions. SeeHow the Shield Worksfor more information.

    Since that time, we have sold tens of thousands of Shields and had feedback from more people than we

    could possibly list. Here are just a few of thetestimonials we have gotten back from Shield wearers.

    Dr. David Getoff was one of the earliest practitioners to begin wearing a Shield anddoing his own testingwith patients with very good results (video).

    OUR MISSION

    Our mission is to make the BioElectric Shield available worldwide. In doing so, we feel we are part of the

    solution to the health crisis that is, in part, caused by exposure to electromagnetic radiation and well asexposure to massive amounts of stress, from situations and other peoples energy.

    We also want to bring more peace, balance and joy to the world - and the Shield offers a vibration of

    peace, love, and balance in a world filled with fear and uncertainty. Selling a Shield may seem like a

    small thing in the scheme of things, but each Shield helps one more person find a greater sense of ease,

    balance and protection, allowing them to focus on living their dreams

    To enhance your sense of well-being, (In addition to the Shield, ) we offer other products that provide

    health and wellness benefits on many levels.

    By working together we can, and are, accomplishing miracles.

    psychology and worked with drug addicts for a year. Called by the practicality of Occupational Therapy, I

    received an M.S. degree in Occupational Therapy from Boston University in 1974

    For the next 16 years, working with ADD, ADHD, autistic and other special needs children was mypassion. Because of my specialty in Sensory Integration Dysfunction (a technique based on neurology), I

    met Anne Shumway Cook, RPT, PhD, a brilliant PT, with a PhD in neurophysiology. We created special

    therapy techniques for children with vestibular (balance and position in space) dysfunction while she

    worked with the Vestibular Treatment Center at Good Samaritan, and while I managed the therapy

    services of the Children's Program at this same hospital in Portland, Oregon. A fun project at that time

    also included collaborating with a team of other therapists to create a therapy in the public schools manual

    for OT, PT and Adapted PT procedures. It included goals and treatment plans which has served as a

    model for nearly every school district in the United States. There was nothing quite so satisfying as

    seeing a child move from frustration to joy as they began to master their coordination and perceptual

    skills.

    For the next seven years, I shifted my focus. Married to Dr. Charles Brown, we decided that Id begin to

    work with him in his Pain and Allergy Clinic, first in Boston and then in Billings, Montana. During this

    time I began to hear people talk about how thoroughly stressed out they were by their job environment.

    Their neck and shoulders hurt from sitting in front of computer screens. They were fatigued and

    overloaded dealing with deadlines and other stressed out people! They wanted to be sheltered from the

    storm of life. Though conversation, myofascial deep tissue and cranio-sacral therapy helped them, the

    stress never disappeared. It was our patients who really let us know that something that managed their

    environment and their energy would be a wonderful miracle in their lives.

    What could we do to help them? I became an OT so I could help children and adults accomplish whatever

    it was that they wanted to do. When my husband, Dr. Brown, invented the Shield, initially I felt I was

    abandoning my patients. Running the company meant I didnt spend as much time in the clinic. But then

    I saw what the Shield was accomplishing with people. They got Shields and their lives began to improve.

    People told me they felt less overwhelmed, didnt get the headaches in front of the computer, were less

    affected by other peoples energy and enjoyed life more. I began noticing the same thing!

    In 2000, we received a request for a customized shield for a child with ADD/ADHD. After it was

    designed, our consultant told us that she could create a special shield that would help any person with

    these symptoms. Read more about theADD/ADHD Shield.

    When we started the company in 1990, I was still seeing patients nearly full time. I was wearing the

    Shield and began to notice something different about my own life. At the clinic, I noticed my energy was

    very steady all day. Instead of being exhausted at the end of the day, particularly when I had treated

    particularly needy patients, I was pleasantly tired and content. I noticed I was more detached from the

    patients problem. In other words, I didnt allow it to tire me. Instead I became more compassionate and

    intuitive about what they needed to help them. I was able to hear my Guides more clearly as they helped

    me help them. As I wore it during meditation, I felt myself go deeper into a space of Unity of all things,

    from people to mountains to stars.

    Over the years, Ive spoken with many, many people, from all walks of life. Because they consistently

    tell me how much its helped them, I become more committed each year to offer this to as many people

    as possible. It is my belief that the Shield is a gift from the Divine, and that those who wear it will be

    helped on earth to accomplish their own mission, with greater health and greater compassion. For this

    reason, it is my desire to provide the blessing of the BioElectric Shield to as many people as possible.

    Carolyn (Workinger) Nau:

    I joined the BioElectric Shield Company in January 1994 when the shipping and order

    department consisted of one computer and a card table. With my help, the company

    grew to what it is today. From 1994 to 2000 I traveled and did approximately 100 trade

    shows, talking to people, muscle testing and really finding out how much difference the

    Shield makes in peoples lives.

    An empath and natural intuitive, I have personally found the Shield to be one of my most important and

    valued possessions, as it assists me in not taking on everyone elses stuff. That ability has also been

    invaluable when I talk to and connect with clients in person, over the phone or even via email. I am

    frequently able to tune in and help advise on the best Shield choice for an individual.

    I felt a strong pull to move to California and reluctantly left the company in 2000. While in California I

    met the love of my life, David Nau. After being married on the pier in Capitola, we relocated to

    Milwaukee, Wisconsin where hed accepted a job as design director of an award winning exhibit firm.

    David is an artist and designer, and has taken all the newest photos of the Shields. They are the most

    beautiful and accurate images we have ever had!

    Through the magic of the internet I was able to return to working with the company in January 2008. Ilove how things have changed to allow me to live where I want and work from home. I am fully involved

    and even more excited about the Shields benefits and the need for people to be strengthened and

    protected. I am thrilled to be back and loving connecting with old and new customers. Its great to pick up

    the phone and have someone say, Wow, I remember you. You sold me a Shield in Vegas in 1999

    How did I get started making Energy Necklaces? It's not every day that going to a trade show can totally

    change your life. It did mine. I must have been ready for a drastic change. I just didn't know it. I guess

    Ive just always been a naturalQuester.

    Quite by chance, I went to the Bead and Button Show in Milwaukee. The show is an entire convention

    center filled with beads, baubles and semi-precious stones. I looked over my purchases at the end of thefirst day and realized I didn't have enough of some for earrings. So I went back with a friend who

    normally is the voice of reason. I thought if I got carried away shed help me stop. Joke was on me.

    I was unable to resist all those incredible goodies. My friend turned out to be a very bad influence, shed

    find fabulous things and hold semi-precious and even precious stones in front of me saying "Have you

    seen this?". How can a woman resist all that beauty? I cant! I couldn't. I walked out with a suitcase full

    of beads and stones. The only problem was, I didnt even know how to make jewelry.

    I spent the summer taking classes, reading books, practicing jewelry making. Immediately people were

    stopping me in the street asking about the jewelry I was wearing. It finally dawned on me that just maybe

    I was meant to design and share my creations. ThusBold Bodacious Jewelry was born.

    I still laugh about this whole process. Obviously the Universe or someone was guiding me. Looking back

    it should have been obvious that I was buying enough to start a business. But at the time, it just felt like

    the right thing to do. Not a conscious plan. Sometimes following your gut can change your life.

    In the fall of 2008, I felt a pull to examine how various gemstones could enhance the protective and

    healing effects of the BioElectric Shield. I also wanted to wear great jewelry and my gold and diamond

    Shied at the same time, so I created something new so I could do that. After making a few Shield energy

    necklaces, I was convinced that not only was my jewelry beautiful and fun to wear, it had additional

    healing qualities as well. Since then Ive been immersed in studying stones and their properties, paying

    particular attention to the magical transformation that happens when stones are combined. Much like the

    Shield, the combined properties of the stones in my jewelry are more powerful than the same combination

    of stones loose in your hand. To view gem properties and styles to complement your shield, please visit

    Shield Energy necklaces.

    has provided experience in all phases of the exhibit business; designing, quoting, selling, directly working

    with clients, interfacing with builders and manufacturers, staging and supervising set-up.

    David has worked closely with many key clients in the branding of their products and themselves in all

    phases of marketing, both within and outside the tradeshow realm. He has designed tradeshow exhibits,

    museum environments and showrooms for many large accounts including Kodak, Commerce One,

    Candela Laser, The Holmes Group, Kendell Hospital Products, Enterasys, Stratus, Pfizer, LigandMedical, Polaroid, Welch Allyn, and Nortel. He has also designed museum and visitor centers for

    Charlottesville, NASA Goddard, Hartford and Boston childrens museums.
