Scientific studies confirm that radiation protection is essential as radiation can have an adverse effect on the body. Radiation can also affect the way a person feels mentally. Radiation protection products are designed not only to eliminate the adverse effects of radiation but also to support and enhance the natural energy of the body.

What is Radiation?

(Electromagnetic) radiation is essentially energy that is transmitted in the form of electromagnetic waves or particles. These waves differ in terms of their type, wavelength and frequency and can be flowing or blocked, which is what happens when they are briefly interrupted by a mobile or cordless phone for example. The length of the wave is directly related to the frequency (the number of waves per second). At the low-frequency end of the spectrum it is possible to make a distinction between electrical fields and magnetic fields. We do not make this distinction here. We refer to both as radiation.

Sources of Radiation Need Radiation Protection

Most people know that mobile phones emit radiation. But there are also many other sources of radiation that can be experienced as very disturbing; that’s why we all need to work on our radiation protection or radiation prevention.

Examples of radiation sources at home which need radiation protection:

• cordless phones
• computers
• televisions
• dimmer switches and lighting transformers in the home
• energy-efficient and fluorescent light bulbs
• the electrical system in the homemicrowaves
• waterbeds
• baby monitorshalogen transformersinduction hobselectrically adjustable beds
• electric blankets wireless communication networks (Bluetooth, DECT, WiFi)

Radiation Protection From Sources Outside Your Home

When you’re out on the road there are many potential sources of radiation as shown below. People need to take radiaton protection measures in order to prevent the adverse effects of radiation.

• GSM and UMTS masts
• high-voltage cables
• power supply systems for trains and trams
• satellite transmittersterrestrial radiation (the radiation emitted by the earth)radarstransformer cabinets

Physical Ailments and Hypersensitivity

There are various factors that determine whether radiation has an adverse effect on a person’s health.Among other things these include:

• the frequency of the radiation (the number of waves per second)
• the intensity of the radiationthe shape of the radiationthe duration of exposure to the radiationthe sensitivity of the person exposed to the radiation

Since we are all different, we experience the effects of radiation differently. The symptoms that can occur depend on the individual. The intensity of the reaction to radiation also differs from one person to another. People who experience severe symptoms as a result of exposure to radiation are said to suffer from electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS). It is also common for people to (initially) experience less pronounced sensitivity to radiation. However, ailments such as fatigue and headaches should not be ignored. Many electro-hypersensitives have found that symptoms that start out as mild can become more severe.

Ailments linked to radiation include:

• chronic fatigue
• stress
• headaches
• lack of concentration
• listlessness
• nausea
• dizziness
• restlessness (disorders such as ADHD)
• psychological problems
• high blood pressure
• flu-like symptoms
• muscle pain
• asthmatic conditionsallergies
• skin problems
• a general feeling of being ill at ease

Various studies have shown that there is a link between radiation and certain illnesses.
Some have even suggested that the use of mobile phones increases the risk of a brain tumour.
