    I am writing on behalf of Cancerblock llc, the makers of Cancerblock for the Android and iPhone operating systems. Cancerblock limits exposure to cell phone radiation energy and improves battery life. Cancerblock has taken a stance on the issue of cell phone radiation that raises awareness, allows for effective prevention and protection for cell phone users, and funds research.

    10% of our profits are donated to cancer research and the study of the effects cell phone radiation has on the body.

    I thought it would be prudent to Inform the readers of our application as we are the only application on the market currently addressing this concern. For more information take a look at www.cancerblock.net a learning and awareness portal created for this topic.
