Why may phone signals cause cancer?
Modern digital mobile
phones use a time-multiplexed transmission system. This means that speech is
not transmitted continuously, but recorded and compressed over a period of a
few milliseconds and transmitted in a burst. This has the advantage for service
providers that many individual phones can share the same transmission
frequency, increasing the maximum number of users. This general principle
applies to GSM, 3G and future telephony standards.
The frequency of these transmissions falls into the same timescale as many biological signaling processes within cells. Cells are full of charged ions and molecules. The processes that control cell function involve the movement of some of these charged ions or molecules. Since electromagnetic fields induce the movement of charged ions or molecules, there is potential of ‘cross-talk’ between the normal signaling processes necessary for cell function and an external field that induces inappropriate ion movements within a cell.
Whilst the affects of an
applied field will be very small, regular exposure to a repetitive field for
long periods of time could induce undesirable effects on the cells. Cell
signaling regulates critically important functions such as cell division. Since
cancer is uncontrolled and inappropriate cell division, a potential mechanism
exists to induce tumor formation through regular exposure to mobile phone
transmissions.
How does Magdi’s technology work
Magdi believes that if the potential harmful effects of mobile phone radiation are caused by the regular ‘chirping’ of their transmission, then they can be stopped by providing a background of noise so the regular chirps are no longer ‘heard’ by the cells.
Magdi has developed downloadable software for cell phones that enables the creatation of a "confusion field" using the circuitry of the Near Field Communication ( NFC) transceiver that is now resident in many mobile phones. By enabling the NFC transceiver to transmit a varying magnetic confusion field during a phone call, the software provides a mechanism to protect against the potentially harmful effects of the regular pulses of the phone transmission.
