14 DAY TRIAL // According to a BBC report, radiation from hands free mobile phones could be practically annihilated by using a tiny magnetic bead, worth only a few cents. At least that's what a government adviser, Professor Lawrie Challis says.
Attaching a ferrite bead to a hands-free kit blocks the radio waves from travelling along the wires and into the head.
The professor also suggested that integrating such a "device" into mobile phones should become standard and all major manufacturers start using the magnetic beads instead of spending more on surveys and studies to reflect that mobile phone radiation isn't a threat to the users' health.
The beads, which often measure less than 1cm in diameter, are commonly used to stop data interference in computers.
Many think that if they use a hands-free kit, the radiation from the phone itself doesn't have any effect on the ear or the head, but that's not entirely true since the radiation travels up the wires and it is absorbed, at a lower level, by the head. Maybe using a Bluetooth hands-free would lower still the amount of waves the body takes.
