Need a driving buddy?  I'll get on a greyhound and meet you in New Mexico.  (and you think I'm kidding)

Reviewer:    Adam Jewell (Pittsburgh, PA USA)

Quote
Cell phones have become an integral part of American (and increasingly the world) society. They are ubiquitous in the business world and day-to-day life activities. The authors discuss in detail the risks associated with cell phones, particularly those of the digital variety. They tell the all to common tale of industry PR "spin" vs. public safety and common sense. While it may not be correct to state that cell phones cause brain cancer, the preliminary indications and not heart warming.

Thus far clinical studies have shown:

1) Cell phone radiation penetrates deep into the developing brains of children.

2) Cell phone radiation results in chromosomal damage to blood exposed to wireless phone radio waves. There is a link between chromosome damage and brain cancer.

3) Cell phone radiation breaks down the blood brain barrier. Think of the blood brain barrier as an immune system for the brain. As it breaks down, other environmental toxins more easily enter the brain and cause damage.

4) A number of studies showed a statistically significant correlation between brain cancer deaths and cell phone use.

5) Cell phone radiation can cause pacemakers to malfunction is they (pacemakers) are not properly insulated from cell phones that are within 6 inches of the pacemaker.

The above are based on elaborate human, animal, and laboratory experiments that examine the effects of cell phone radiation. The experiments in the book focus primarily on cell phone use - when the phone is near the head. If cell phone radiation is able to penetrate the human skull, the effects may be even more dramatic on soft tissue such as reproductive organs that may be continuously exposed to radiation by a phone carried in a pants pocket.

Based on the scientific evidence in the book you should avoid using a cell phone or being around one to be perfectly safe. Since that is not likely, the following precautions can be taken:

1) Despite the aggressive marketing practices of the industry towards children, keep cell phones out of the hands of your kids, they are particularly susceptible to the radiation generated by cell phones.

2) Use a hands free model and keep the phone away from your body.

3) If you put the phone up to your ear, point the antenna away from you.

4) If you have one of those cool little phones with a built in antenna, the whole phone is an antenna and you are getting a heavier dose of radiation. GET A HEADSET OR A DIFFERENT PHONE.

5) A cell phone has to pump out more radiation when the signal strength is low, try not to use the phone unless the signal strength is near 100%.

Initial studies show a clear link between cell phone radiation (especially associated with digital phones) and adverse health effects. In the next 10 to 20 years the effects will become apparent with the general public serving as the test subjects. Tread carefully on those wireless stocks over the long term, and take precautions today so you don't become a statistic. Many thanks to Dr. Carlo and Martin Schram for timely well written book packed with critical info for all wireless customers.




Peace

haha, thanks aaron.  If I don't die early from becoming 500 pounds from eating mcdonalds, I will most definitly die early from using my cell phone  :lol:

Just as 'SuperSize Me' made McDonalds take a serious look at itself 8O and
make significant changes in their responsibily to public health as corporate
citizens feeding millions of Americans each day  :wink:  a Michael Moore Doco on
the subject of the Cell Phones and their adverse health effects would take
the best efforts of Motorola's PR Firm counter-measures to war game it  8)

EM radiation at such levels has never been linked to cancer. The only studies that have linked EM radiation to higher cancer levels have been found to have flawed methodology.

2) Cell phone radiation results in chromosomal damage to blood exposed to wireless phone radio waves. There is a link between chromosome damage and brain cancer.


Red blood cells, in general, do not carry DNA.

That means absolutely nothing. It's nonsense. WTF?!

Cite one. Oh wait, they don't exist. Well, ones without flawed methodology.

5) Cell phone radiation can cause pacemakers to malfunction is they (pacemakers) are not properly insulated from cell phones that are within 6 inches of the pacemaker.


Nope. If a pacemaker were to malfunction because of cell phone use, I'd say the EEs who designed it really sucked. So far, nobody has been able to prove anything about cell phones causing sensitive medical equipment to malfunction. Many hospitals are evaluating their no cell phone policies and finding that the entire thing is an elaborate urban legend.

EM waves penetrate the body, among other things. If EM waves didn't penetrate things, you would have to have line of sight with the cell tower. This still doesn't say anything about the effects of said radiation.

2) Use a hands free model and keep the phone away from your body.


If you're worried about EM radiation pentrating the brain, using hands free sets is the worst thing you can do. The thing acts as an antenna and focuses EM radiation into your head.

Digital standards throw out much less EM radiation than the old analog ones. If EM radiation at these frequencies is harmful, analog phones should be the ones to worry about. Analog phones can put out up to 10 W, and generally put out about 3 W. GSM phones put out 2 W at max, and typically run at 600 mW.

Never mind that there is no clear link between these two things...

Will, the blood brain barrier is actually a part of neural anatomy.  It's basically a system of astrocytes that keep particles out of the brain.
I think you underestimate the level of my sneakiness
