Mobile phones boost brain tumor risk by up to 270 percent on side of brain where phone is held

Using a cell phone regularly – even a modern one – raises the risk of developing a brain tumor for many users, a new Finnish study published online in the International Journal of Cancer. The study, done by a collection of researchers from...http://www.newstarget.com/021634.html

This morning I heard a sad real story from my colleague.

She told me one of her friend always miscarriage when the baby 2-3
months
old for few times continuously in few years time. The couple went to
check
with many doctors and lastly one of the doctor check on the death
baby
and
found out the baby's body cells keeping die when baby growing up
until
he/she cannot be survived.

This is because her uterus has been affected by HANDPHONE radiation .
The
doctor told she has no chance to get baby no matter how because the
radiotion affected her uterus which the major portion of her uterus
cells
already death, cannot carry healthy baby. All this because of she has
been
keeping her handphone in her working jacket which the position just
right
to the uterus positon for few years time. Please beware and take note
the
consequences is not worth.

Dearest family members,
Please do not overlook the handphone radiation which will affect our
health
or body organs. Please put away your handphone when ever you don't
need
it
much .
Guys, Please do not keep your handphone near to the kidney position
and
pants pocket as this will hurt and affect your "production" if you
plan
to
get baby.
The other doctor also advice another friend to keep away handphone to
her
new born baby to avoid radiotion to baby's brain and cells. Do not
let
the
baby or toddler play with the handphone for long time. This is
because
the
small young baby or toddler still very fragile and most probably they
cannot take the radiotion.
Please remind yourself do not sleep together with your handphone or
put
next to your bed. Keep away any other electronic goods (such as tv
also)
which got radiotion away from your bedroom to reduce risk as we have
to
sleep few hours a day in our bedroom at night. Do not think that you
switch
off the TV it will be no radiation actually it is still around in
your
room
just not eyes visible, even the small alarm clock not to be advised
to
put
just next to your head while sleeping.
Care about yourself & your loved ones.

Mobiles don't cause cancer (http://medicine.com.my/wp/?p=1699)

Although there is no clear connection that mobiles are cancer causing, I'm wondering why I get frequent headaches so often when using my mobile without my hands free. I'm using a nokia n73. I heard of this rf energy, which will be released etc..and that could be damaging when one uses a mobile too near to the skull long term.

Doc, is there any truth into this claim? Thanking you in advance.

[palmdoc]

The "truth" can only come from proper randomised controlled trials where there is comparison with a "control" . In one such trial published in the British Medical Journal
http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/bmj%3b332/7546/886

The authors concluded:

"No evidence was found to indicate that people with self reported sensitivity to mobile phone signals are able to detect such signals or that they react to them with increased symptom severity. As sham exposure was sufficient to trigger severe symptoms in some participants, psychological factors may have an important role in causing this condition."

The sham exposure here is a "dummy" which did not have any GSM signal. Basically it means that there was no difference in headaches when subjects were exposed to GSM signals versus a dummy. Yes, you could say it's "all in your mind"

The BMJ also reminds us in their article “Brains and mobile phones”
The biggest risk to health from mobile phones is using them while driving
Now that is the most important health tip regarding mobile phones!!

There is a report published by CONSUMER association, get the little booklet from MPH.

If you can use handfree kit or that little wired earphone/mic. It radiates around the phone so, if its further, it does less harm.

Not sure bout the bluetooth handsfree, but the frequency similar with our microwave oven's.

Thanks for all the info, will find time to read up soon.

But it's still mind boggling, how someone could actually get a headache involuntarily.
