Parents For Safe Technology
We love our families fiercely. As hard as it was to understand this issue, we took the time. We learned some things. We hope you will too. We can do this.
Defining the Problem: Wireless and Our Health
Give light and people will find the way.
-Ella Baker
1. Wifi is not as safe as we thought it was.
According the California Medical Association, peer reviewed research shows adverse biological effects from wireless including DNA breaks, creation of reactive oxygen species, immune dysfunction, cognitive processing effects, stress protein synthesis in the brain, altered brain development, sleep and memory disturbances, ADHD, abnormal behavior, sperm dysfunction, and brain tumors.

2. Our government has not protected us as -we assumed- that of course it did.
In fact, the US never developed a “safe level” of wireless. 30 years ago thresholds were set for “allowable radiation” for military men and regulations have barely changed since then. Current research now shows children absorb up to ten times the radiation in the bone marrow of their skull than adults. The radiation also penetrates far deeper into their brains. Medical organizations around the world are officially stating these regulations need to be changed to better protect children. Time to update these ancient standards!

3. Our children will have a lifetime of exposure to this untested radiation.
No other generation has been exposed to radiation from before birth like our children. Some scientists say the current levels in our homes and schools are at unprecedented levels, far far greater than background levels of our grandparents. Children have the most to lose if we parents do not act swiftly. We grew up without wifi routers, cordless phones and cell phones by our bed.

4. Low levels are not safe.
People say, “Cmon, that wifi router emits such a low level it won’t affect you.” As it turns out, these very low levels are able to hurt our bodies at a cellular level. Our cells feel wireless even at these very low levels. In short, it stresses these cells out. Read the research on the immune system. Listen to the scientists talk about the science that shows low levels have large effects.
5. We cannot see it, hear it, smell it, taste it, or feel it which makes it easy to ignore.
None of us want to believe that something so convenient and fun could possibly be harmful. So although scientists have been calling for precautions for decades, few countries took action. Until now. Countries around the world are enacting protective policies to protect their people. The time has come for the US to safeguard their children's and the future of the United States.

6. Manufacturers Have Warnings We Never See
Did you know that a cell phone in your front pocket is "against manufacturer's advice." A laptop on your lap is "improper consumer use". The laptop manual states that the laptop should be at at least 8 inches from the body because the radiation could heat your tissue to dangerous levels. In fact, all wireless devices have warnings stating a specific distance the device should be held away from your body. This information is literally buried in the fine print.
