Driving with a cell phone is a lot less dangerous than driving on prescription drugs

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

And the studies have shown that it's not just the physical coordination required to punch numbers into the cell phone while you're trying to work the vehicle that causes accidents; it's actually the lack of attention resulting from driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time. It seems that when you're distracted, you're more likely to cause accidents. In terms of public safety, it's probably correct to say that banning cell phones would reduce the number of traffic accidents. But I think, more accurately, it depends on the person.

It seems like a typical market price might actually be something more like $59, especially when you consider the two 1200mAh NiMH batteries and the five cell phone connectors that are included. So I think the pricing on the unit is very good, and given that it comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee, there's no risk in getting one and seeing how well you like it. Most people simply don't prepare for the unexpected Overall, my observation is that most people travel without giving a single thought to safety and preparedness.

But there are individuals who are perfectly capable of talking on the cell phone or operating other non-visual electronic devices while they are driving. For example, I'm recording this article while I'm driving, and I have a perfect driving record. I think the real test of driver safety should be determined by the reaction time of individuals, not simply noting whether they using a cell phone or other portable electronic device. Some people need to be taken off of the roads just the way they are, even without any distractions, because they have about a two-second reaction time.
And occasionally there are really bad drivers -- people who are taking antidepressant drugs, smoking pot, drinking beer and trying to talk on a cell phone to hook up their next drug deal. They're an accident waiting to happen. But fortunately, that's not what you will normally see on the street. So should cell phones be banned from the hands of drivers? Should we outlaw the use of portable electronic devices by people who are operating automobiles? I would only support that if we also ban drivers with slow reaction times and actually start testing people for reaction times.
It's not a machete problem, and it's not a cell phone problem. It's a problem with reaction times of drivers, and in the case of Rwandans, human decency. I say, stop blaming the electronics, and start holding drivers accountable for their mental states. And in terms of real dangers to public safety, cell phones don't even come close to the dangers posed by prescription drugs and over-the-counter drugs. Approximately 40% of all drivers are on at least one drug at all times, and if you include nicotine and caffeine, that number goes up to around 70%.

Enhance your emergency preparedness at home, too Our 8-in-1 Dynamo Emergency Tool is useful for much more than travel safety; it's also useful at home, too, where it serves as an emergency radio, flashlight, cell phone charger and siren to help you get through tough situations that seem to be appearing with increasing frequency these days: Hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, ice storms, tsunamis, blizzards, tornados, power grid failures and even civil unrest.
Along with a working cell phone, it's the one tool to have by your side when traveling virtually anywhere. (Note: TSA authorities may not allow you to carry this on an airplane, so pack it in your luggage instead.) It's also a perfect gift to give someone who puts a lot of miles on the road traveling, commuting, taking the kids camping or even just driving to the grocery store (95% of all car accidents happen within two miles of home). Thoughtful features make it so simple to use Every feature in the Better Life Goods 8-in-1 Dynamo Emergency Tool is within easy reach.
It's a practical, compact consumer tool that can provide light when you have no electricity, free you from a car accident, tune in emergency radio stations during a storm, charge a cell phone so you can call 911, or even help you defend yourself against an aggressor. It combines eight essential travel safety tools into a single device that fits easily in a purse or glove box. (FULL DISCLOSURE: I own the www.BetterLifeGoods.com e-commerce site.
It really works as described here, and each function does what it claims to do (seatbelt cutter, AM/FM radio, dynamo winding handle, cell phone charger, LED flashlight, glass break, siren, etc.). My main complaint about the product is that it's made of ABS plastic. It won't survive being run over by a car, nor is it waterproof. Plastic can break if it gets crushed, and I can imagine that if somebody cranks the dynamo handle too aggressively at the wrong angle, they could break that off, too.
How will you charge your cell phone to try to make a phone call? Sadly, most consumers simply have no answer. They exist in a state of perpetual non-preparedness. That's a huge mistake, especially given all the freak events happening in the world today. It's not just natural events, either: Power grids have failed in the U.S., civil unrest has broken out in major cities like L.A., terrorist events have unfolded, and other such man-made events are likely to reappear at regular intervals. Will YOU be prepared?

Honeybee colony collapse disorder: Alternative causes still being explored

Scientists, entomologists and citizens alike continue to speculate as to the cause of this disorder, with the newest conclusions directed toward cell phone use. Although the outbreaks are now generally believed to have been caused by a virus imported from Australian bees (a charge which Australia denies), some scientists and researchers are putting forth a new theory that the radiation given off by cell phones and other high-tech gadgets is interfering with bees' navigation systems. The signals from nearby cell phone towers are preventing the bees from finding their way back to their hives.

Depending on how close the cell phone antenna is to your head, between 20 and 60 percent of the radiation emitted is transferred to and penetrates your head. With or without a headset, every time you put your cell phone up to your head, you expose your brain to the danger of radiation. While there are numerous conttadic-tory reports as to the overall effect of cell phones on out health, there is a growing body of evidence that cell phones affect multiple facets of your brain function, behavior, and health in general.

And of course, when they pick up a cell phone, their reaction time might double to four seconds, and then they're more than likely going to hit somebody. So if we're going to go through the trouble of banning mobile phones in automobiles out of concern for driver safety, I think we should go all the way and just ban drivers with low cognitive function and slow reaction time. Why isn't reaction time one of the tests when you go get your license renewed? When someone sees a red light, shouldn't they be required to respond in one second or less?

A recent study, for example, showed that men who frequently use cell phones show radically reduces sperm counts due to the side effects of cell phone radiation. The "Earth" frequency as a basis for healing With modern society bombarding us with so much electromagnetic energy, it seems increasingly obvious that getting more in tune with the "Earth energy" is universally healing. People who leave big, noisy cities and move out to the country enjoy spectacular health improvements.

When you talk on your cell phone, your voice is transmitted from the antenna as radio frequency radiation (RFR) between 800 MHz and 1,990MHz—a frequency within the range of microwave radiation. Depending on how close the cell phone antenna is to your head, between 20 and 60 percent of the radiation emitted is transferred to and penetrates your head. With or without a headset, every time you put your cell phone up to your head, you expose your brain to the danger of radiation.

A Food Calculator When You Need One If you ever want to calculate the amount of sugars, carbs,and trans fats in more than one serving of a packaged food, flip open your cell phone. Nearly all cell phones have built-in calculators. Learn to use yours. Calories and Calories from Fat The number of calories refers to one serving size that, again, may be unrealistically small. For example, a two-quart (64-ounce) Coca-Cola Classic defines one serving as 8 ounces, which provides 100 calories and 27 grams of sugars. Eight ounces, however, is less than the amount in a can of Coca-Cola.
