Finger Joints Affected by Cell Phone

I owned a cell phone for a year, as I mentioned in an earlier article.

The main reason I was forced to relinquish the cell phone was that my middle finger became incredibly sore at the middle joint, with swelling and redness, noticeable around the joint.

I had avoided using the cell phone for long telephone conversations, as this definately caused fluid retention in the ear, and an uncomfortable heat penetrated deep into the head when the phone was held to the ear for several minutes at a time. However, I was a text fiend, and used the phone for this purpose several times a day, thinking this would not be so harmful.

I guess the same thing which caused the fluid build-up in the ears eventually caused a fluid build-up in my fingers, noteably the one which supported the phone from behind, the middle finger, whilst the thumb tapped in the message from the front.

The thumb which did the texting was not affected, but, after nine months of use, the middle finger of the hand which held the phone was very sore. After a year, it was so painful I had to avoid using this finger when  playing the piano, and the fingers next door to it were starting to be affected the same way. It was very difficult to write with this hand at this point.

I felt sure it was the cell phone, and so  i cancelled my phone account and gave the device away.

The source of an on-going anxiety, the high pitched frequency which had accompanied me that previous year, just evaporated immediately, and my ears relaxed and stopped their aching.

However, it took three months for the finger joints to return to normal.

I helped the healing of the joints with magnesium and zinc supplements, and gentle massage of the joints with olive oil at night.

I have not had a recurrence of this joint problem again in the year since giving up the cell phone, and nor have I needed to continue with the supplements after the condition repaired itself.

Cell Phone Use by People in Large Crowds

Cell-Phone Effect on Hands, Ears, Bones and  Brain

I owned a cell-phone for a year, and I must say it was the greatest thing being able to text my family every day if I wanted. However, one year was enough. Although I made every effort to keep my distance from the cell-phone and kept it about 10 metres away from me at night, my health was affected. It was a great relief when I gave it up, and I realized then just how much anxiety the cell-phone’s rays had caused me when their presence, which I had endured almost unceasingly for a whole year, were suddenly terminated.

Even before I bought the cell-phone, which I did because I was moving about a lot at the time, I was very sensitive to the cell-phone rays of other people’s phones.  I had become aware of my extreme electricity sensitivity whilst living in a gold-mining town, and this sensitivity had, even then, extended to cell-phones.

Individual cell-phones in the house affected me, but large groups of people with cell-phones, such as are found at rock concerts, or car racing venues, or music or cultural festivals, became unbearable.

I observed this effect many times, several years later, whilst living near to the Western Springs stadium in Auckland. Even though I did not attend events there or at the zoo or park at Western Springs, the radiation on days when events were occurring was so distressing to my brain and nervous system, that I was forced to flee the area temporarily, until the crowd had dispersed.

My hands would begin to tingle, my ears to ache, my memory and sense of logic, or of a sequential order to a task, would weaken, and my nerves become so jangly that a shaking of the hands and head became apparent, at least to myself.

However, the swelling which occurred in the legs could not be disputed: after several hours from the beginning of a major festival just down the road, they became very puffy with aching in the bones.  Some relief was obtained when I left the area for a relatively unpeopled park or beach for a few hours, but, while other symptoms disappeared almost immediately, the swelling of the legs usually took a day or two to normalize, after the masses of cell phone users at the function had gone home.

I never waited around long enough for professionals to  take note of my symptoms and make a diagnosis of my condition: if I had remained to prove my point, I am quite sure a health crisis would have been the result, and my distressed state would have then been attributed to a condition such as weak heart, a stroke, or arthritis, oncoming parkinson’s disease, or a mental derangement, and no consideration would have been given to the environmental conditions which had made manifest such a distressing array of symptoms.

On these days, when there were crowds and traffic jams, there were also lots of sirens from ambulances and police cars. I often wondered that, if I was affected so profoundly by the proliferation of cell-phones on those days, then how many other people were suffering from poor judgement and anxiety while on the road, driving – perhaps some of the “accidents” were a direct result of the excessive amount of  radiation endured.
