Product Description
Radiation Rescue: 4 steps to safeguard your family from the other inconvenient truth – the health hazards of wireless technology Prominent physicians and eminent scientists around the world are raising the alarm about the adverse health effects of wireless technology – cell phones, PDAs, wireless Internet access, headsets and more. Most assume that if something is on the market it must be safe. Surely, this wireless technology was pre-market tested before we flooded our homes, offices, schools and cities? No, it was not tested for safety – and now leading scientists have the proof: it is not. And the government standards we rely on to protect us are out-dated and not relevant to this type of exposure – their “safe” levels have been shown to cause biological harm. Nor is there any government or industry post-market surveillance to monitor adverse health effects.
People of all ages rely on these increasingly high-powered devices. It’s not only business people, as it was not that long ago. Parents provide their young children with cell phones believing it ensures their safety. Young adults – most have never had a corded landline – chat and/or text endlessly with pals around the country. On-the-go soccer moms tap away on their PDA’s while waiting for the children. Many parents installed wireless baby monitors to keep their infants safe. It is crucial that these consumers be informed, that they know the proven dangers, and the proven solutions. To protect our families, to save our health, we don’t have to give up the high-tech gadgets we rely on, and love; we do need to use them differently. K. Crofton shows us how in Radiation Rescue. In clear, easy-to-understand language K. Crofton gives readers the details, tools, coaching and resources they need to assess, prevent, and heal from the electro-magnetic radiation exposure that surrounds us all. An engaging narrative style will be consistent throughout the book, with technical information, references, research, and preventive measures for the healthy population. Interventions of value are also provided for people with related symptoms, and peer-reviewed studies and clinical protocols are referenced for their doctors. This informal, interactive style – written in scientifically accurate yet non-technical language - is well suited to readers of all ages.

 Not what I was looking for... November 5, 2009

The little, most basic research she included in this book just somehow wasn't enough coming from an author who spends a good portion of the book trying to lecture me on how to spend time with my family away from the wireless world. I wanted a book that was 100% research and science that I could use in my quest to teach people about this growing health threat - not mushy lectures about how I should go out and climb trees, study insects, watch fish swim, or throw a ball around with my children instead - nobody is going to listen to that. Though I agree with the author that this is what needs to be done, I just felt this was obvious and shouldn't have been included in the book.
An even bigger gripe of mine though about this book was that the author suggests 'safer' ways of using this technology (for example, ear pieces or headsets instead of holding a cell phone directly against the head). I'm sorry, but safer for who? Even if every person who owns a mobile phone today pinky swears to only use it in the event of a 'true' emergency, that cell phone tower down the street will still need to irradiate me and my loved ones all year long for that one emergency call that may never happen. The author is foolish in thinking we can hold onto this technology in ANY amount and at the same time be healthy, just as foolish as an alcoholic or drug addict who thinks he'll be okay if he limits it to one sip or one line. Bottom line: as long as billions of people own cell phones, billions of towers and antennas will be required. And whether we use our cell phones heavily or not, if we choose to own one and are paying the cell phone company every month, whether we realize it or not, we are essentially funding this massacre.
At times I wondered if the author was completely aware of the urgency of the matter at hand. Honey bees are dying, the bats, the fireflies, sunspots are disappearing, the solar wind pressure is diminishing... This planet does not have time for a 10-year rehabilitation program. We cannot afford to be mushy at presenting this subject to the public, and we need to take a stand now and say NO to this technology. This technology - wireless technology in any way, shape, or form needs to go - period. I'd even be willing to give up the light bulbs and heat in my home just to have some measure of health again.
Far better choices would be "Cell Towers - Wireless Convenience? or Environmental Hazard" by B. Blake Levitt or "Cross Currents" and "The Body Electric" by Dr. Robert O. Becker.
 Complex Information broken down in easy-to-read format September 8, 2009
Christine M. Hoch
This book provides comprehensive information about exposures to and the biological effects from radiofrequency radiation and electromagnetic radiation. Dr. Croften consulted with the leading experts in wireless safety to write this book. Instead of a dry description of the issue, Dr. Croften breaks the overwhelming information into practical steps on how to determine risks, seek safe solutions, and create a family action plan. The book has an easy-to-read format with lots of pictures and bullets to help break down the information. Dr. Crofton discusses products that affect us everyday such as cordless phones, fluorescent lights, wireless video games, GPS, Wi-Fi, laptops, electric blankets. The book ends with many helpful resources to gain more information. This book is a great introduction to the potential health effects of wireless technology and what to do about it.

After spending the last seven months researching many sources of information about electromagnetic radiation, I wanted a source that I could share with others to help them understand what I had learned so they could make intelligent informed decisions about their lives and the lives of their children. I have found such a source in this book.
The reader of this book can get an overview of the EMF radiation subject from personal experiences and from worldwide researchers and experts. Also, there are specific suggestions for evaluating one's environment, reducing one's personal radiation exposure, and suggestions for relating to the larger societal challenges.
The presentation is user-friendly. One is not overwhelmed in one's learning process, but assisted in the relaxed friendly style of the author, the open format, the simple headings and the clear organization. This is a good introductory source of information for family, friends, co-workers, those who work in libraries, schools, health centers, and government.
Because an estimated three percent of the world's populations is already electro-magnetically sensitive, and brain tumors are the leading cancer cause of death for children, there is an urgency in educating humans to reduce this invisible danger in their lives. This book serves this purpose.
