One of my readers sent this to me.
Five young women in the ninth grade in Denmark devised a science fair project to see the effects of their cell phones on plants. I had to smile at this because it reminded me of a science fair project I did in the ninth grade to see if there was a listening to classical music or rock music made a difference to plants.
Here is what was forwarded to me:

It started with an observation and a question. The girls noticed that if they slept with their mobile phones near their heads at night, they often had difficulty concentrating at school the next day. They wanted to test the effe ct of a cellphone’s radiation on humans, but their school, Hjallerup School in Denmark, did not have the equipment to handle such an experiment. So the girls designed an experiment that would test the effect of cellphone radiation on a plant instead.
The students placed six trays filled with Lepidium sativum, a type of garden cress into a room without radiation, and six trays of the seeds into another room next to two routers that according to the girls calculations, emitted about the same type of radiation as an ordinary cellphone.
Over the next 12 days, the girls observed, measured, weighed and photographed their results. Although by the end of the experiment the results were blatantly obvious ? the cress seeds placed near the router had not grown. Many of them were completely dead. While the cress seeds planted in the other room , away from the routers, thrived.
The experiment earned the girls (pictured below) top honors in a regional science competition and the interest of scientists around the world.
According to Kim Horsevad, a teacher at Hjallerup Skole in Denmark were the cress experiment took place, a neuroscience professor at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, is interested in repeating the experiment in controlled professional scientific environments.

In my experiment, the results were the same. The seeds wouldn’t sprout. I also did an experiment trying to sprout seeds in microwaved water. Again, they didn’t sprout.
This is why I use a Pong case to reduce radiation up to 95% from my cell phone. I also now only use my cell phone in speaker phone mode and do not hold it up to my ear. I only use my cell phone when I’m away from my landline, which I always use at home.
Wi-Fi, cell phones, digital cordless phones, smart meters and other radio frequency emitting devices cause severe interference in many hearing aids, even at a distance away from them. There is loud buzzing and distortion to the point, that the hearing aids are useless. Those devices can interfere with pacemakers and implanted defibrilators, too. Technology has run amok.
Strange, I have hearing aids (phonak) and use a cell phone (an iPhone6 on AT&T 3G and 4G) and have not noticed any effect. I will try and make a more controlled experiment. I would be interested in how these measurements were made (models of cell phones carrier frequencies/technologies (3G, 4G etc.), and models of hearing aids). If I find this to be true, thanks for pointing it out, if not then I wonder about other statements or inferences you make.
Hi Debra
I bought Cellsafe that redirects the radiation out of the back of the phone – do you know if it works?
COMMENT FROM DEBRA:
I don’t have a way to evaluate this claim.
Fascinating experiment and my congratulations on the children with their experiment. Now this begs the question, what about cell towers. Their EMF emenations are many times the energy output of a single cell or wifi. Has anyone done any experiments on this greater picture? Likewise, high tension high energy wires cause problems. I know that a friend of mine had a high electrical energy high tension wire strong overhead through her pasture by the electric company. Her mares kept aborting and got very sick until she put them in a pasture about a quarter of a mile away, then there was no problem.
COMMENT FROM DEBRA:
Of course cell towers and high tension energy wires cause problems. This has been documented, I’m sure you can find it on google. The thing about both is distance, the further away you are the safer it is.
And lets not forget the old tests of taking a florescent tube in your hands, and carrying it (on the ground) way under high-voltage lines – the tube will actually light from the “stray electricity” in the air –
