DefenderPad Laptop Radiation & Heat Shield Review and Giveaway!

What do brain cancer and infertility have in common? Perhaps nothing, but there is growing evidence that exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) may contribute to both in some cases. But we’re specifically talking about laptops here folks. Along with a bunch of other electronic mobile devices. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) have classified RF EMF as possibly carcinogenic to humans, based on an increased risk for a malignant type of brain cancer called glioma. You can read the results of their study, published in May 2011, here.

What seems to be more certain, based on multiple research studies, is the fact that placing your laptop or other electronic device on your lap for extended lengths of time can lead to infertility. Maybe that's no longer a concern of yours, but what about your teenagers who are spending countless hours exposed to RF EMFs? Shouldn't you be concerned about their future fertility? As a grandma, let me tell you, you don't want to deprive yourself of that blessing, simply because you ignored the warnings.

According to Dr. Yefim Sheynkin, "An elevation in heat has been known for years to cause fertility problems... and the heat from laptops is very localized, with exposure repeated often, depending on work use."

Dr. Andrew Weil agrees: "... if you are a man with a fertility problem, it would be better to keep your laptop off your lap."

And it's not just your reproductive organs at risk. If you are pregnant, the exposure of RF EMFs to the fetus can be equally dangerous. Consider this warning from well respected physician, Dr. Joseph Mercola: "Use caution with any laptop use, especially if you're a pregnant woman, and if you choose to use it on your lap, only do so with a lap pad or cushion that is about one foot thick."

The news is scary. That's why I was thrilled when the kind folks at DefenderPad contacted me and asked if I would be willing to review their protect. Yes. Absolutely yes!

They sent me the DefenderPad Laptop Radiation and Heat Shield at no charge to me, in exchange for my honest opinion of the product. Now, unlike an eye cream or a shampoo that I can evaluate because of its effectiveness, the DefenderPad is not an easy thing to review. There are no monitors letting me know that my exposure to RF EMFs is greatly reduced or virtually eliminated when the DefenderPad rest between my lap and my laptop. I can only go by what the research tells me. And that is that the DefenderPad is the only laptop radiation shield that protects from both ELF (extremely low frequency) and RF EMR. Basically, what it does is eliminate the ELF EMR and the RF EMR heat radiation from
  • laptops
  • iPads
  • tablets
  • other portable electronic devices
By virtually eliminating ELF emissions up to 150 mG, RF emission up to 3.5 V/m, and heat radiation up to 115 degrees F, the DefenderPad seriously reduces health risks caused by the above listed devices.

Experts recommend limiting ELF exposure to below 2 mG and RF exposure to under .6 V/m.





What I like about the DefenderPad, other than the obvious reduction in harmful exposure from my laptop, is its design. It weighs next to nothing and has a slim profile, which means it slips easily into my laptop case, without adding additional bulk or weight. It's made of durable materials offering state-of-the-art patent pending protection and uses FCC certified lab tested technology. The rubber-like surface keeps my laptop in place, so there's no chance of it sliding off. I'm telling you, this is an A+ product and I'm giving it two green thumbs up.
