900 MHz Holster Phones Weaken Hips (study summary)

Bone fracture healing is prone to failure partly because of its complexity.

Wearing a hip cell phone holder is common.

Holding a cell phone close to a hip bone might make that hip less likely to heal in the event of a fracture.

• 900 MHz frequencies affect bone fracture healing
• this is the frequency emitted from many cell phones

• researchers used fingers to break rat hips
• they fixed hips with wires
• they exposed Group 1 to
  • 900 MHz
  • 30 minutes per day
  • 5 days per week
  • 8 weeks

Examination included:

• radiological (X-ray examination)
• manual mechanical (biomechanical orthopedic healing examination)
• histological (tissue structures studied under the microscope)

Researchers used their fingures to fracture rate hips. (Author’s note: I don’t know how they sleep at night.)

Hip fractures exposed to 900 MHz frequencies healed poorly.

Unexposed hips healed normally.

On a scale of one to 9, with high scores being better, these were the  results:

• histopathological (bone tissue)
  • non-radiated: 8.8
  • radiated: 8.1
• radiological (X-ray) results:
  • non-radiated: 7.9
  • radiated: 6.6
• biomechanical  (orthopedic):
  • non-radiated: 1.75
  • radiated:1.2

• 900 MHz exposure deters hip fracture ability to heal
• non-ionizing radiation close to the body reduces body’s ability to heal bone fractures

EMFs are well-accepted in treating bone fractures.

• Successful EMF Medical Treatments (study)
• What is Red Light Therapy?
• PEMF Scientific Breakthroughs Review (study)

The fact that EMFs at 900 MHz prevent bone healing show just how important the photobiomodulation (PBM) optimum treatment window is to a healthy outcome.

Too little, too much, and the wrong frequencies are unhealthy.

• mobile phone hip holsters expose wearers to cell phone non-ionizing radiation
• if rat-to-human extrapolation holds up,
  • the holster wearers are damaging their hip bones
  • the damage from 900 MHz cell phone exposure will make hip fractures less likely to fully heal
