Scientists Urge Legislators to Research Dangers of Cell Phone Use and Cancer

David Carpenter, director of the Institute of Health and Environment at the University of Albany, has told legislators that the need for further research into the safety of cell phones is needed.

Carpenter, along with Ronald Herberman, director of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, have suggested that cell phones "need a precautionary message."

Carpenter questioned, "Are we at the same place we were with smoking and lung cancer 30 years ago?" It took many years before researchers were able to declare conclusively that cigarettes cause lung cancer.

Radio frequencies and radiation produced by mobile phones are especially hazardous to young children. The younger a child is, the more cell phone radiation penetrates the brain.

Research published recently from the Royal Society in London discovered that children and teens who start using cell phones before the age of 20 had 5 times the risk of developing brain cancer by the age of 29.

Most researchers say that evidence is inconclusive, and that they cannot declare that cell phones pose any danger or health risk.

Despite this, numerous countries advise parents not to allow their children to talk on cell phones and to limit cell phone usage.

How Airtube Headsets Can Protect You from Cell Phone Radiation

An airtube headset can be a valuable tool to protect your brain from cell phone radiation. Brain cancer is on the rise as is cell phone use.

An airtube headset is a headset that attaches to your cell phone or cordless phone. It has a wire like many headsets. At the end of the wire is a small speaker and then a 6 inch long tube. This tube works a lot like a stethoscope.

This tube serves to provide a gap between the transmition of radiation from your phone to your head.

Holding your phone to your ear allows the radiation from your phone to enter your head through the soft tissues of your ear. Over time, this can make you more susceptible to brain cancer. In the short term it can cause headaches, attention disorders, changes in your brainwaves, and sleep disorders.

A regular wired headset allows the radiation from your cell phone to travel up the wire to your head. Additionally, it can act as its own antenna, grabbing up radiation from the environment and directing it at your head.

An airtube headset does not allow this to occur. Because of the air gap, any radiation that travels from your phone or the environment up the cord of your headset is dispersed before it reaches your head and sensitive brain tissues.

This can effectively reduce the radiation to your brain to zero.

Bluetooth and other wireless headsets are NOT safe. Microwaves generated by the mobile phone are wirelessly transferred and directly transmitted into the ear canal and surrounding head region by the blue tooth device.

Airtube headsets are the safest way to talk on your wireless phone. They are inexpensive and work great.

Children's Health Risk is High from EMFs and Cell Phone

The Russian Government has issued a health warning regarding cell phone use in children. The Russian National Committee on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection has produced a statement that "the potential risk for the children's health is very high."

The Russian Ministry of Health has previously recommended that children under 18 not use mobile phones.

Their report states the following:

"─ the absorption of the electromagnetic energy in a child’s head is considerably higher than that in
the head of an adult (children’s brain has higher conductivity, smaller size, thin skull bones,
smaller distance from the antenna etc.);
─ children’s organism has more sensitivity to the EMF, than the adult’s;
─ children’s brain has higher sensitivity to the accumulation of the adverse effects under
conditions of chronic exposure to the EMF;
─ EMF affects the formation of the process of the higher nervous activity;
─ today’s children will spend essentially longer time using mobile phones, than today’s adults will."

"According to the opinion of the Russian National Committee on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection,the following health hazards are likely to be faced by the children mobile phone users in the nearest future: disruption of memory, decline of attention, diminishing learning and cognitive abilities, increased
irritability, sleep problems, increase in sensitivity to the stress, increased epileptic readiness."

A child's scull and tissues are significantly softer than those of an adult. This results in a greater penetration of electromagnetic and rf energy into their brains, causing a greater disruption of their nervous system.

There is not enough awareness about how harmful exposure to cell phone radiation can be for children.

Health Minister in India Requests Study on Ill-Effects of Cell Phones

After reflecting on studies by Australian neurosurgeon Dr Vini Khurana, officials in India have decided to launch their own cell phone study.

In his research, Khurana says heavy usage of cell phones for a period of 10 years or more doubles the chances of brain tumour. It also, he adds, has larger public health ramification than asbestos and smoking.

Meanwhile, Dr Rajeev Ranjan, a neurology expert at Sir Gangaram Hospital, says, “EMR rays in general cause irritation, concentration lapses and in many cases even proliferation of cells which cause cancer.” Particularly at risk, he says, are those with pacemakers which the EMR can interfere with.

Dr Anshu Rohatgi, another Delhi neurologist, says, “Electro magnetic radiations, in general, affect the DNA and cause problems in cell recovery and cell growth.”

Electromagnetic Fields and Cancer

Changes to Your Blood Chemistry Occur When You Use Your Cell Phone

Did you know that changes in your blood chemistry occur rapidly when you talk on your cell phone? After as little as 5 minutes of exposure to cell phone radiation and emf your blood cells begin to take on what is called Rouleau formations. This is when your blood cells stack up and clump, causing worm-like patterns.

Rouleau formations are known to correspond with symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, and poor blood circulation. This happens because the ability of red blood cells to carry oxygen is impaired.

Effects of Cell Phone Radiation on Children

Children are especially susceptible to the effects of cell phone radiation, and are put at serious risk from the radiation emitted by mobile phones.

According to a 1996 study by Om Gandhi at the University of Utah, radiation penetrates the brain of a child 4.2 times faster than an adult brain. It penetrates the fluid of the eye more than 12 times faster. It penetrates the lens of the eye 11.6 times faster. It penetrates the connective tissue of the eye 11.1 times faster.

Further, scientists have discovered that a call lasting just two minutes can alter the natural electrical activity of a child’s brain for up to an hour afterwards. Radio waves from mobile phones penetrate deep into a child’s brain, not just into the ear.

The soft, developing tissues of a child’s head leave them unprotected, making doctors fearful that disturbed brain activity could lead to psychiatric and behavioral problems and impair learning ability.

Don't Use Your Cell Phone in Rural Areas

Cell phones are more dangerous when you are in rural areas. When you are out in the country there are fewer cell towers or cell sites. This means that your cell phone must work harder to send and receive a signal, which means it emits more of the dangerous radiofrequency (RF) radiation that contributes to cancer and other diseases.

Always try to check your cell phone before you make a call. Make sure that the signal on your phone is strong. You can tell by visually looking at your phone and seeing how many bars of reception it has. If there are only one or two bars, try to avoid talking on your phone in that location.

Cell Phones Increase Risk of Mouth Cancer

Israeli scientist Dr. Siegal Sadetzky of Tel Aviv University has recently published a new study in the American Journal of Epidemiology which reveals an increase in cancers of the salivary and parotid glands (which lie just near the ear) among heavy cell phone users.

According to the study those who use their cell phones heavily are 50% more likely to develop mouth cancers.

We are becoming more and more aware of the dangers of cell phone radiation. Unfortunately, however there is very little information about the radiation emitted from the other wireless phones we use daily. Those are the regular cordless 900 mHz, 2.4 megahertz, and other wireless phones we use in our home and office.

They are convenient, but they, too, emit radiation as does the base station they receive their signal from which is hooked up to your phone outlet. It stands to reason that we should use the same precautions with these phones as we do with our cell phones: limit talk time, use speakerphone or an airtube headset. Get your cell phones equipped with a cell chip for added protection and your cordless phones and base stations equipped with a universal chip.
