Cell Phone - Health Risks of Microwaving and Cooking Your Brain

It's amazing to see so many people tied to the leash of a cell phone these days. It seems that you can't drive or even take a walk without seeing scores of people with cell phones seemingly implanted into their ears.

While the increase in communications technology is certainly impressive, very little is being brought into the public discourse about cell phone health risks. What you don't know about the cell phone that's glued to your ear several hours a day, could lead to some serious health issues later on in your life and actually cause damage to your brain.

Is it worth the health risk to your brain to have that telephone conversation on the way home?

Not-So-Smart Phones

If you apply a bit of critical thinking for a moment, the cell phone health risks are a lot more realistic than you might have assumed. Think about this - the radio waves, wireless network signals and other communication waves that are circulating through the air are able to penetrate wood, metal and other building materials with very little resistance.

Have you thought about those same waves beaming through your body 24 hours a day?

Well, it's happening. And if you have that smartphone of yours glued to your head, it's like holding a lightning rod in the middle of a thunderstorm.

Our brains and bodies are infinitely complex, and rely on electrical impulses to think, breathe and take action. When those powerful electromagnetic waves make their way through the air and into your phone, they are having a damaging effect on the electrical impulses in your brain.

In other words, that "smartphone" of yours may actually be making your less smart the more you use it. Scientific tests have shown that cognitive ability sharply drops when people use their cell phones, and it's not merely a matter of being distracted either. The physiological effects of magnifying the electromagnetic waves directly toward your head results in impaired thinking and reasoning.

I guess we'll all need smartphones eventually, as all of this cell phone use is working to make us dumber by the minute.

It's a Wired World After All

With more devices being plugged into wireless networks by the minute, before long we'll all be besieged by more of these invisible menaces than at any other point in history. The cell phone communications industry is making billions of dollars every year, and doing little, to nothing to educate people about the very real and damaging cell phone health risks.

Electricians and engineers who work with electricity and electromagnetic energy for a living can tell us all horror stories of the damage that invisible frequency waves wreak on the human body. Heck, all you have to do is look at the increase in car accidents and fatalities caused by cell phone use to know that this is one trend that isn't going to end well for any of us. Or, you might visit a cancer hospital and count the number of brain cancer patients and compare this figure with the number ten years ago.

Be aware of the invisible things that are going on around, in, and through your body. Is it worth being able to text that joke or to have a vacuum cleaner that does connect to the Internet, if your brain and body suffer for these ridiculous luxuries?

I don't think so, and I'll be you don't either.

Cell phone health risks are very real, and with the increase of wireless communications, they will continue to multiply. So the next time you have something important to say, avoid the temptation to text it while your driving, and tell the recipient in person.

Your brain will be the better for it, and you might start to remember how nice it is to talk to someone face-to-face instead of via a cell phone.

Cell Phone Use Associated With Increased Risk of Brain Tumors

I haven't got a brilliant memory, but sometimes something somebody lets me know does somehow stick in my mind. One such memory I have concerns a patient I saw some years back. He had had a brain swelling (I forget what sort) removed, and had an interest in supporting his recovery and general health through nourishment. During our consultation he remarked he had a boy that also had had a brain tumor. I questioned if his doctors believed there was any genetic link.

He responded in the negative, and told me it was his opinion that mobile telephones were the cause. This person went on to tell me that both he and his child were early adopters of this technology, and by their own admission were heavy users too. He went on to inform me a tale about an experience he had after he had had his operation. He was sitting in a packed waiting room full of post-surgical patients. Nearly all of the patients in the room had had brain growths removed and the scarring to prove it.

A chat about mobile telephones started in the waiting room, so my patients made a decision to take a straw poll then and there. All of the patients who had had brain growths turned out to be mobile telephone users. Now, there's nothing especially telling here I suspect, because mobile telephone use is so common.

However, my patients went one better in his poll by then asking each individual which ear they habitually held their mobile telephone to. He reported to me the side they indicated matched the side of their growth in each case. This is all only anecdotal observation and all that, and does not prove a thing, but this memory came back to me this morning after reading about some research which was published lately at the Royal Society in a meeting held by the Radiation Research Trust.

The study was conducted by a team controlled by Professor Lennart Hardell of the University Hospice in Orebro in Sweden. It hasn't been officially broadcast yet, though from what I am able to make out, the data has come from a formerly released piece of analysis from Professor Hardell.

The analysis targeted on the likelihood of precise cancers in people who started to use mobile telephones before the age of twenty. Younger folks were the target for this research because they are said to be more subject to the electronic radiation that emanates from mobile telephones, mainly because their skulls are thinner and may permit the radiation to penetrate more deeply into the brain. The analysis discovered that people who started mobile telephone use before the age of 20 were at terribly noticeably increased (more than 5-fold) likelihood of brain growths known as 'gliomas' as well as benign (non-cancerous) swellings on the main nerve in charge of hearing known as 'acoustic neuromas'.

According to reports, use of cordless home telephones were at seriously raised likelihood of glioma too. People who started to use mobile handsets in their 20s were also at increased likelihood of glioma and acoustic neuroma, though the boosted risk was smaller than that seen in the earlier users: possibility of glioma and acoustic neuroma was up about fifty and a hundred p.c. respectively.

Professor Hardell is quoted as asserting: This is a caution sign. It is extremely troubling. We deserve to be taking precautions. It is maybe fascinating to notice Professor Hardell's previous work in this area, particularly a meta-analysis of studies taking a look at the link between mobile telephone use and brain swelling risk.

People using mobile telephones in the long run (ten or more years) were revealed to be at an increased chance of glioma and acoustic neuroma on the side of telephone use (risk was increased by two hundred and 240 per cent respectively. Mobile telephone use wasn't related to increased risk of these cancers on the other side of the head to the one that the telephone is habitually held. The proof as it hands supports the assumption long term mobile telephone use is indeed related to an increased risk of brain cancers, just like my patient thought it was years back.

Cell Phones and Brain Tumors - New Evidence of Wireless Mobile Phone Linked to Brain Cancer

OK, here we go again. Decades ago, there was widespread panic over the possibility that overhead high tension electrical power lines could be a cause of cancer for people living in close proximity or underneath them. When that was disproved, the doomsday crowd went onto blame cell phones as a possible risk of brain cancer due to tiny amounts of radiation emitted when the phone is transferring data. Thus far, after dozens of studies, there has been NO conclusive evidence that cell phones produce a significant enough amount of radiation to create a measurable increase in the risk of cancer. But is there a cause for concern? Just who conducted those tests?

A new joint study from the University of California at Berkeley and multiple Universities in Korea, reexamined 465 article published in major journals along with 23 large scale case studies of over 37,916 patients. The study group was comprised of patients with and without brain tumors. They found that when they look at the group as a whole, there was no association between brain tumors and cell phone use. When they looked closer however, and divided the large group into clinically significant subgroups, there was a clear increase in risk for cancer, of up to 30%. Furthermore, they found that some of the previous studies that had yielded results of "no risk," were in fact funded by cell phone manufacturers.

Other experts including neurosurgeons have long agreed that cell phones can cause brain tumors. One such doctor, Dr. Vini Khurana, even stated that he thought mobile phones could be more dangerous than smoking or asbestos. He pointed out the there are 3 billion cell phone users in the world, which is a whopping 3 times the number of smokers worldwide, and smoking leads to 5 million deaths per year.

Advocate groups still insist however that there is no concrete, established risk. They cite correctly that in journal after peer reviewed journal, there is an overwhelming consensus that wireless cell phones do not pose a public health risk. Their claims are further backed up by the FDA, the FCC, American Cancer Society, the National Cancer Institute and the World Health Organization. Imagine, all of those private and federal watchdog groups agreeing on a single thing!

What's the bottom line? This author still isn't sure. All I know is that there are still people who believe that the lunar landing was a big hoax. There are nurses that work for me, that sadly, still won't get vaccinations for their kids for fear of increased risk of Down syndrome. For me, I'm not giving up my cell phone anytime soon. If the risk really is that significant, then we can also say that "the place we carry the phone on our bodies, may increase the risk of cancer in that particular body area." For instance, I often carry my cell phone in my shirt pocket. Will I have an increased risk for breast cancer? Hmm, I always wondered what a mammogram would feel like...

Protect Your Skull from Cell Phone Radiation - Play it Safe

When I was a young man in my 20s, I was running a business and I was quite proud of myself because we were doing fairly well, and for young man I was quite pleased with the monetary results each month. Indeed, I had one of the first cell phones, and I was paying between $.60 and a dollar per minute, and yet it seemed to pay for itself because of the inherent efficiency of rapid communication.

None of my competitors had a mobile phone yet, the best they had were those repeater phones were you had to push to talk, and they were much cheaper either. Needless to say, I was running over 1,000 hours per month on average.

Unfortunately, they didn't know back then all the know today about how dangerous cell phones could be to the biosystem. It turns out those phones back then operated on 3 Watts of power, no, that's not very much. But since the frequency of the cellular phones back then were in the microwave range, which they are today, that meant that I was holding the phone up to my ear, and that wasn't very good for the issues with cell phone radiation. Now then, my first phone sat underneath the seat of my vehicle, and it probably cooked the underside of my seat.

Later, I had a transportable phone which I walked around with, but again it was away from my body, so it was a little bit safer. Eventually I had a handheld phone when they finally got invented, which had quite a bit more power, but I held that unit up to my ear. Later on, about eight-years later, the cell phones started using less power and they went to a different system. The wattage was significantly less, as it is today, and therefore it's probably not too much of a problem as people hold this up to their ears, provided they are not using the phone a significant percentage of the time, let's say 500 plus minutes per month, but to be totally precise, you'd need to look at the data yourself.

However, people also commonly wore their cell phone on their belt. Those microwave frequencies can damage DNA, and the last place you'd want to put it is near your reproductive system, in fact you would not want it anywhere near. Nor would you want it next your brain, even though your skull could somewhat protect you. Remember microwave frequencies go through things; that's why your microwave oven has special shielding.

There was an interesting article recently in Kurzweil's Accelerating Intelligence Online News titled; "New Studies Reveal Evidence that Cell Phone Radiation Damages DNA, Brain, and Sperm" by the Editor posted on May 24, 2011. The article stated that a:

"New independent studies offer proof that confirms findings from the Council of Europe: pulsed digital signals from cell phones disrupt DNA, impair brain function, and lower sperm count, according to a statement by the EHT. It was found that four hours of exposure to RF-EMF disrupts the ability of human brain cells to repair damaged genes. Other new work from Australia shows damage to human sperm."

Brain cancer is quite serious, and so are things like Alzheimer, and other diseases of the brain. Your brain is your most important organ, and therefore you should be thinking, and playing it safe. Indeed I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.
