Cell Phone Dangers

CELL PHONE DANGERS

Greetings:

In my previous post, I reported on the possible dangers of microwave ovens, and encouraged my readers to take a more serious look at their safety.  The jury may still be out, but I believe that there are enough cited examples to change my mind about using them.  Merrilee and I do not use microwave ovens now that we are aware of the potential health risks.

But let's face it--microwaves are a relatively easy thing to give up...Cell phones, however, are a different story.  Like most cell phone users, I have developed a deep dependency upon my mobile phone.  In fact, I adore my cell phone.  It's painful to imagine life without it.

Billions of people throughout the world obviously share my affection for cell phones.  Within three decades, wireless phones have revolutionized global communication.  The International Telecommunications Union estimates users at 5 billion worldwide.  One researcher described the cell phones' mushrooming popularity as the largest human experiment ever without informed consent.

In the early 1980s, cell phone technology was a present from the U.S. Defense department to free enterprise, gift wrapped in a government regulation loophole that allowed public sales without any testing for health and environmental hazards.

The long range effects of using a cell phone are unknown since it is a relatively new phenomenon, and the unbelievably prosperous and powerful telecom industry has been successful in suppressing and discrediting reports of potential harm.

Studies have been surfacing, however, that show an increase in brain cancer on the side of the head where the phone is usually held.  There has also been an unusual increase in cancer of the paratid gland, a salivary gland in the cheek, and an increase in acoustic neuroma, a tumor of the acoustic nerve, all occurring on the side of the head where the phone is habitually held. 

This is Mer's brain on radiation...

Over-radiated.

On May 31, 2011, the World Health Organization, in response to research showing that cell phone usage increases the risk of brain cancer, classified cell phone radiation as a Class 2B carcinogen in the same category as DDT, exhaust fumes, lead and chloroform. 

Cell phones carried habitually on the hip have resulted in a weakening of the bones of the hip joint, where 80 per cent of red blood cells are manufactured.  Also, cell phones carried in front pockets have impacted testosterone production in males. 

The iPhone warns (in small print) "not to carry in your pocket". The Android phone advises its owner to "keep it 2.54 centimeters from a pregnant abdomen or abdomen of a teenager". 

If you need to carry a phone close to your body, it is best to turn it OFF.  If your phone is ON to notify you of a call, radiation will intermittently surge for a signal, and the further its distance from a signal, the greater the radiation.

Because of their thinner skulls and skin, parents are advised to keep cell phones away from children unless they are completely turned OFF.  Studies by Professor Lennart Hardel of Orebro University in Sweden showed that those who began using cell phones heavily as teenagers were 4 to 5 times more likely to experience brain cancer as young adults.

An interesting and illuminating example of cell phone radiation involved a young woman with no predisposing risk of cancer, who was diagnosed with multi focal breast cancer.  This woman  habitually carried her cell phone in her bra, and the location and shape of her cancer identically matched that of her cell phone.

To Cell Phone...with Love

My conclusion is to continue my love relationship with my cell phone, but I'll certainly refrain from any prolonged physical intimacy with it.  I avoid carrying and using it close to my head and body and primarily use the speaker phone or a blue tooth listening headset while communicating.

Bluetooth Options

Oh!  By the way:  This report on the possible dangers of cell phones describes just the tip of an iceberg regarding the possible perils of the increasing radiation that surrounds us. 

With the exploding popularity of cell phones and internet connected pads and tablets, new radiation emitting towers and antennas are rapidly being constructed and installed almost everywhere, including most workplaces and many homes, including ours, with WiFi.

  

This growing constant exposure to increasing radiation is being linked to a myriad of major health concerns, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Autism.  I suspect that I will be returning to this subject later with new developments.
