We found this video on YouTube which clearly outlines the dangers associated with using AirPods with our mobile phones. The fact is that even wired headphones are good at transferring radiation from the phone right up into our heads.

We have taken the liberty of providing a full transcript and a summary of Dr. Stephen Cabral’s video, along with a bullet-point summary below.

We have added our product recommendations at the bottom of the page.

AirPods Use on the Rise

We’re going over a very controversial topic and that is the known dangers of wireless AirPods. It’s not just Apple that makes these particular devices – any Bluetooth or wireless receiver that is actually inside the ear is what we’re going to be talking about here today.

The Science is Clear

Just keep in mind as technology progresses there will be more and more devices that although they may look amazing and they may actually function to such a high level as well, we sometimes bypass the known dangers that are already out there. This one now has been known about for over a decade so I want to share that with you today.

International Agency for Research on Cancer Warning

In 2011, the World Health Organization International Agency for Research on Cancer advised that electromagnetic radiation from wireless devices constitutes a possible human carcinogen. What does that mean? It means that a wireless device used on or near a human being could potentially cause cancer.

How EMF Radiation Damages Cells

So how does it happen? Well non-ionizing radiation, including extremely low frequency fields (ELF) called ELFs used for electricity and radio frequency radiation which is RFR used in wireless communications – this would include the devices that we know them as – which is Wi-Fi, cellular data or Bluetooth and all these things are obviously connected to smartphones.

Evidence from Animal Studies

Originally they tested this with animals and what they found was that a cell phone or something held close to the head or specifically on the head actually can lead to brain tumors and other types of cancer. We know far more about it now.

Tiny Distance, Big Difference

So why does this matter? Here’s why – what they found was that an inch difference – so obviously if you’re watching this on video or hopefully you can watch it right on my website or right on YouTube, I’m pointed basically an inch away from my head. Let me grab my cell phone and actually, this is my my previous cell phone – so I’m holding about an inch away from my head.

Believe it or not, an inch away from my head was proven to be dramatically safer than touching my head. If the phone was within millimeters of touching your head it became that much more dangerous and if the actual phone was touching the head that was the greatest likelihood of some type of cancer-based event.

AirPods Even Closer to the Brain

Now let’s flash forward to a device like these headphones and I have mine right here which are not wireless but they’re the same ear pod – they look exactly the same except they have the wire. So now I’m taking this AirPod and I’m actually inserting it what about a half an inch into my ear canal on each side.

And the crazy thing is that this acts as a receiver from your phone. So instead of you holding the phone to your head, now you’re always holding the phone to your head but now hands-free, right? That’s the benefit. But instead of the phone actually being held to your head it’s held inside your head – that is the more dangerous part.

Frequency Changes Inside the Brain

This wireless AirPod sends a frequency to this wireless AirPod and they actually communicate and talk back and forth. Well how do you think that they’re going and communicating back and forth? It’s not over and around your skull and head – it’s actually directly through your brain. So it’s going directly through your skull, through the brain and communicating back and forth with each one of these receivers.

The Effects of EMF radiation on Animals

The ill effects were found on different types of radiation that resulted in cancer in animals – so much so that over 200 reputable scientists from 40 countries around the world petitioned, signed a petition and sent it in to the World Health Organization and the U.N. They were worried and they saw the dangers and they saw the studies on radio wave radiation and the potential effects.

An International Appeal

This is what they wrote collectively: “We request that children and pregnant women be protected.” It’s even more dangerous for pregnant women. I’ll get to that in just a moment. “And children,” they are asking for guidelines and regulatory standards to be strengthened to make these devices safer.

Potential Solutions

That manufacturers be encouraged to develop safer technology, utilities responsible for the generation transmission distribution and monitoring of electricity maintain adequate power quality and ensure proper electrical wiring to minimize harmful ground current – meaning the the currents that are going into the brain and these by the way are obviously not grounded if you’re not using anything wireless.

The public should be fully informed about potential health risks from electromagnetic energy and taught harm reduction strategies. Medical professionals be educated about the biological effects of electromagnetic energy and be provided training on treatment and of patients with EMF sensitivity.

Governments fund training and research on electromagnetic fields and health that is independent of industry and mandate industry cooperation with researchers.

Can We Trust the Research?

There’s just two more: Media disclose experts financial relationships with industry when citing their opinions regarding health and safety aspects of EMF emitting technologies and safe zones which are radiation-free areas be established.

This is really important because not everybody wants to be in the middle of a electromagnetic soup right as you walk around – not everybody wants to be bombarded with sensors when they walk in a store or everything from the fluorescent lights to the sensors to the EMFs to the 4G to the 5G to all of these different things which collectively really can do a number on the body over time.

And it’s important because you can’t believe every single research study that you see and read because many of them are funded by the industry itself, right?

Protecting Vulnerable Groups

So I have one more piece to this. In the future, and I have so the funny thing is this is my iPhone 11. In probably two years from now I predict that phones will not have any more wired-based devices – it will be completely self-contained as one device and so they will force people to use their AirPods. I’m guaranteeing that this happens.

At that point I have to decide what is best for me and my health. My goal is just not to put myself in harm’s way – I’ve already come from a place of being sick in the past – I don’t want to go back there. So all I’m trying to do is position myself to be as healthy and as happy as possible and if I have to deal with the inconvenience of a wired headset, that’s just what I choose to do.

It doesn’t mean that it’s the right choice for you but I did want to bring this information to you so that you can make the most informed decision for you and your family. As always, please do feel free to share the show with anyone you believe it could serve.

Bullet point take-aways.

• Wireless devices like AirPods constitute a possible human carcinogen and can potentially cause cancer.
• The closer the device is to the head, the more dangerous it becomes. AirPods go inside the ear canal, closer to the brain.
• AirPods communicate by sending frequencies through the brain, not around it.
• 250 reputable scientists petitioned the WHO, concerned about radio wave radiation potentially causing cancer.
• Symptoms of EMF exposure include focus and memory problems, easily distracted, forgetful, avoidance of detailed tasks.
• EMF exposure is linked to behavioral, emotional and hyperactive problems in children.
• Children are more sensitive to EMFs and at higher cancer risk.
• EMF radiation pulls calcium into the brain, stimulating hyperactivity and reducing concentration.
• EMF hypersensitivity is not just in your head – it’s a real condition.
• EMF exposure breaks down the blood-brain barrier, allowing harmful things to enter the brain.
• Early dementia and Alzheimer’s may be linked to EMF-induced calcium leakage and inflammation.
• AirPods use is likely increasing cases of tinnitus (ringing in ears).
• Eventually wired headphones will be phased out, forcing wireless AirPod use.
• Main EMF dangers: cancer risk, genetic/DNA damage, neurological issues, dementia.
• Wired devices are inconvenient but better for long-term health. We must make informed decisions.
