to thank for this great advice. I have long been leery of the effects of having a cell phone pressed up against one's head frequently throughout the day. There are now more and more reports surfacing about the ill effects of electro-magnetic frequencies (EMF) on our health, especially brain cancer. EMFs are those insidious, ubiquitous and invisible pathogens beaming from all of our electronic devices.
Watts (electrical frequency) and Hertz (pulsation of frequency) are measures of concern for cell phone users. Federal Standard of Safety for EMF/SAR (specific absorption rate) emissions from any electronic device states that no device should emit over .5 watts within 5 cm. Anything over .5 watts causes damage to live tissue, causing it to burn.
The human body ranges from 1-30 hertz (Hz), and the earth/soil has a magnetic frequency of 7.8 Hz (a frequency referred to as the Schumann frequency). Now, get this, average cell phones are at 800-1800 megahertz!!!!! It's no wonder that emissions from cell phones can affect the acupuncture meridian systems of the body up to 15 feet away.
The frequencies and pulsations from cell phones need to be grounded. So this is where the dirt bag comes in. Dirt/soil emits the Schumann frequency and disperses the emission from the cell phone when the phone is placed on a bag of dirt.
It's easy to make your own "grounding pad"/dirt bag. Simply fill a pint or quart sized plastic zip lock bag with dirt and seal. Place your phone on the dirt bag (not it in!) as much as possible. I don't have a cell phone, but Dan has one, so he has a dirt bag at his office, in his truck, on our coffee table and one upstairs. The dirt bag is especially useful if you have your phone turned on at your desk. Ideally you would be using your speaker phone while the phone rests comfortably on the dirt bag.
It's important to recharge your dirt bag every two-four weeks. Emissions from the cell phone will demagnetize the dirt in a short period of time, so if you use your phone a lot recharge your dirt bag by placing it on the ground overnight. If you use your phone less often, recharge every four weeks. It might be easiest to just recharge your dirt bag on the 1st and 15th of the month instead of trying to remember when you last recharged it.
The dirt bag is yet another reminder to get out and enjoy nature - leaving the electronic devices at home.
