My heartfelt thanks to all involved: To all the second year students of South Downs School of Homoeopathy without whose total enthusiasm and energy this proving would not have been possible. To Lenise Shaw for her unwavering help in the collation. To Ian Sandon for his support and enthusiasm, and for sharing the arm power involved in the trituration! And to Helios for supplying the finished remedy!
Why this proving?
The proving was started in January 1999. For well over the past year or two it was becoming increasingly obvious from press and TV coverage that concerns were growing over the possible dangers of using mobile phones, whilst the mobile phone companies and others with vested interests all assured us that they were totally safe. Suddenly, nobody could live without a mobile phone! It became the essential item for all teenagers, and top of the list for Christmas presents that year. Go to any public place - shops, buses, trains, even the refuge of the local pub - and sure enough, those conversations would spring up from every corner. Suddenly all our private business became public, and the rest of us became expert eavesdroppers. Meanwhile, it seemed like every day a new article appeared in newspapers and magazines, or a television programme, warning of the dangers, and describing 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.

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.
