Fertility, Children, and Cell Phone Use

A lot of people trying to have children and wanting to know why things aren't going the way they want may want to watch these videos.

Video one is on male fertility and how cell phones can impact the production of sperm.

Video two has information about how cell phones could be linked to behavioral problems in children.

Dr Natan Bar-Chama - Director of Male Reproductive Medicine and Surgery at Mount Sinai Medical Center

Cell Phones and Infertility in Men

He says," The electromagnetic waves... those are the waves that are transmitted from these.. cell phones that are currently much more powerful than we had in the past."

"If you look at the phones that you carry now that are capable of doing Internet browsing... and high end Internet activities.... that comes at a price. And that is an increase in frequency, also an increase in electromagnetic waves, which we know in animal models can cause damage to the brain."

The reporter asks, "It said in the report that it depends on where you carry it also, what does that mean?"

Dr. Natan, " That most people carry their cell phones in their pocket, and for men, that is quite close to where sperm is being produced."

"The electromagnetic wave injury can come from the direct damage to the DNA from these waves. Or...by a thermal effect."

The reporter asked, "How long do you have to be carrying a phone.... or how many hours a day for it to impact a man's sperm count?"

Dr. Natan, " We don't know....this is really the first study to show that prolonged usage, as they defined is greater than four hours per day could have an effect on concentration..... "

Reporter asked, " Does this mean being on the phone, or just having it on?"

Dr. Natan, " That is a good question.... We don't know...The data questioned these individuals, and they reported using the phone for that period of time.

Now that didn't take into account where the phone was located or what type of phone they were using."

Researchers find Pregnant Women who use cell phones are 54% chance of having children with behavioral problems. Radiation may not be the cause.

Doctor Jennifer Ashton OBGYN

A study of more than 13,000 pregnant women.

Dr Jennifer Ashton states, "this however is a reputable study in a solid journal with big numbers. They looked at 13,000 pregnant women and followed their children over a 7 to 10 year period.

And this came out of research done at UCLA and as well as in Denmark.

And what they found is this increase in the instance of behavioral problems to women who use their cell phones more than 2 to 3 times a day.

Now all of us know that's not really that much this day and age.

And the only thing this study did not show is mechanism by which that could have happened.

So right now it has to be interpreted with a little bit of caution. However if they are able to elucidate the mechanism by which this occurs this might be a very significant finding."

The Reporter asks, "What happens to the children?"

Dr. Ashton, "Well, they have difficulty with their conduct, with behavior, with some emotional problems. And the theory is that, even that it is low levels of what we call non-ionizing radiation that we get from our cell phone. That that may somehow, have an effect in the brain, that may not mannifest for a time down the road.

Now the only confusing thing here is that the key point with radiation exposure, even the low levels that come from a cell phone are that you need both intensity and frequency, and the site, or proximity of that exposure to the target is very important.

So obviousely if your holding a cell phone thats quite a distance from the pregnant uterus, but if your doing that 20, 30, 40 times a day, even thoe the levels might be low the effect might increase.

The reporter says, "Yes, and there are a lot of women who will hold the phone down, you know, lower and use an ear piece up here so the reciever could actually be by the baby.

But now they are not sure that it's radiation at all.

( they go on talking about could it be the mothers are just ignoring there children while on the phone).

At this time they are saying this might be equivallent to the potential harmful effects of tobacco and alcohol to a pregnant woman.

The reporter asks, "You're and OBGYN this is your area. Would you advise any newly pregnant woman that would come in to you and say What should I give up? Would you say watch the cell phone use.

Dr Ashton, "The take home point and it's so important that you ask that, is that we have to minimize the bad, or harmful exposure when we are carrying a fetus, and and try to maximize the good.

You can't walk around on egg shells and live your life in a plastic bubble. But as our technology evolves you might start seeing more of these effects.

So like we say in medicine "Things in moderation"

The reporter says, Moderation in this case may mean less that 2 to 3 times a day.

Dr Ashton says, That's right.

Orit and I have been studying the effects of cell phones, immunizations, and our food system and the relationship it has to autism, and children's disorders.

What we have found is, the relationship of cell phones to behavioral disorders seems to be connected to the heavy metals, and toxins used in immunizations. plus the conaminants in our food system.

The heavy metals get stored in the fat of the brain. The cell phones seem to radiate the heavy metals creating in simple turms, a short curcuiting effect. Therefore when children are in the presents of wifi, cell phones, or heavy electronics, like going to best buy or some place like that, the children go nuts.

We post these things for you to be aware. We are focused on Cell phones in this blog, so the immunizations and food products are something that we would address in one of our other websites or blogs.
