Why this proving?
There is no need to explain about the hazards of mobile phone radiation as much have brought out by the media. Still its use in every day life is only increasing, as also is the ever-increasing range of symptoms experienced by users. It seemed an obvious choice for a proving.

The Substance - Toxicity & Resources
Research is currently being conducted around the world on the effects of radiation emission from mobile phones on the brain and is being widely reported in the Media. At present one of the main causes for alarm are the effects of microwave fields on the blood-brain safety barrier, an opening of which may allow proteins and toxins to enter the brain. Some researchers warn that low level radiation from mobile phone handsets heats the brain, causing headaches, memory loss and dizziness.
Concerned organisations such as Waveguide and Powerwatch can be reached via the Internet:. 

Pharmaceutical Preparation
We asked two moderate users of mobile phones for their assistance. They were each given a 4g. bottle of lactose which was attached to the mobile phone, and the number and length of calls were logged. They were also requested to avoid leaving the phone and attached lactose close to any other interference such as TV's or microwave ovens, etc.

 

Phone 1:
Model: Eriksson GH337
Digital
Server: Cellnet
Total call exposure time: 5 minutes

Phone 2:
Model: Nokia 5.1
Digital
Server: Orange
Total call exposure time: 2 hours, 16 minutes

Equal quantities of the two exposed lactose powders were then mixed together and triturated to a 3c in accordance with footnotes to paragraph 270 of the 6th edition of the Organon. Potentisation in liquid form was continued up to a 30c. 

The Provers
The proving was started in January 1999. It was conducted using guidelines as laid out in 'The Dynamics and Methodology of Homoeopathic Provings?, by Jeremy Sherr.
Seven of the eight provers, all of them females, where given potencies 6c 12c and 30c, one was given placebo (who did not report any symptoms) and one prover attempted antidote after one day so she was exempted from the experiment.
The provers were instructed to take up to a maximum of three doses, twice a day, for a maximum of two days, and to stop as soon as symptoms appeared. For the majority, only one or two doses were necessary.
