Mobile Phones & Breast Cancer

One of my clients asked me how much it would cost to check her home's electrical system for excessive EMR/EF issues, as her teenage daughter had recently undergone a mastectomy following a breast cancer diagnosis.

I asked straight away, "Where does she keep her phone?” …Pretty much knowing what the answer was going to be.

The mother replied, "In her top pocket! She's been doing that for years."

...The penny dropped.

Mobile phones emit electromagnetic fields and microwave radiation, and keeping one in contact in the phones electromagnetic "near field" for extended periods raises some obvious questions about prolonged exposure.

Now add her metal underwire bra to the equation. Metal components interact with electromagnetic fields, so the wire acting as an antenna is a commonly reported problem as it also becomes energized like the phone. Even with the phone on flight mode, high magnetic fields jump on the bra wire. The Mito Meter can demonstrate this on LFM Mode.

Female television presenters and performers who wear concealed microphone transmitters have a long running history of breast cancer. Where do you think many of those transmitters and mic’s were positioned?

Mobile technology has continued to evolve. Back in 2014, we were moving from 3G to 4G, bringing more antennas, increased data activity and greater RF exposure through increasingly complex pulse-modulated signals. By 2026, the problem has evolved further, with smartphones constantly communicating with cloud-based services and syncing data, even when we're not actively using them.

A quick note for the blokes: If you want to minimise unnecessary exposure to your family jewels, don't carry your cell phone in your trouser pocket, not even in flight mode — nor even with ALL radios off, just don't do it.
