CELL PHONE PANDEMIC THREAT?



From "Daily Dose":

"Let me let you in on a little secret. Forget cigarettes and secondhand smoke. If you want to know what will cause of the death of our society, look no further than that little piece of technology you think you can't live without: your cell phone. I'm not even talking about the death of social etiquette - though more than a few cell phone users could use a class in how to act appropriately in public.
No, I'm talking about the very real danger of propping a microwave-generating piece of hardware less than an inch from your brain for hours on end, day in and day out. Plenty of neurosurgeons have gone on the record saying that they never place their cell phones directly to their ears. And when you look at the case against them, it's no wonder! Consider this… In 2005, European researchers linked a decade of cell phone use to as much as a four-percent increase in the likelihood of developing permanent, brain-damaging tumors of the auditory nerve. A 2002 Finnish study linked the type of radiation emitted by cell phones to adverse effects on brain tissue. Research on British males theorizes that cell phone use could be the cause of Britain's precipitous decline in male fertility. Some doctors even speculate Sen. Ted Kennedy's brain tumor may have been caused by excessive cell phone use. And that's just been after 10 years or so. Imagine the threat our kids and grandkids will be facing 15, 20, and 50 years from now. It's chilling. Of course, the warnings are falling on deaf ears - or at least on ears that are covered up by a little piece of tumor-causing technology. More likely, people don't want to hear about the dangers because they think they can't live without their precious cell phones.

It would appear that the health danger increases according to the amount of cell phone usage and most tumors appear after 20 or more years of use. Tragically, children are mostly the ones who are affected. Scientists speculate that their craniums are thinner that adults, thus permitting more microwave damage


What about the rest of us and the non-cellphone users and the seldom -cell phone users? Ever think about the constant barrage of microwave transmissions zinging through the air? Yes, it 's worse closest to a cell phone tower, but what about an internet cafe, or a neighbor teenager who is a constant cellphone user or a crowded market,etc.

What about "texting"? As a matter of fact, texting is safer (less risk of neuromas) than talking since the instrument is not held close to the head, but the risk of generating non-specific tumors still remains.

CHEMO

Chemotherapy attacks and kills not just cancer, but it also blunts the body's immune system in the bargain. While this extreme treatment has been effective against testicular cancers and lymphocytic leukemia, there's little doubt that in many cases it's hard to tell which the "therapy" will kill first -- the cancer or the patient.

patient.


In spite of what you might have been told or believe, chemotherapy is hardly the exact science that it pretends to be. And yet, on the mere hunch that antioxidants could be protecting the cancer cells that chemotherapy seeks to destroy, oncologists seem perfectly comfortable telling their patients to layoff the antioxidant supplements.


With Love and Kindness,
