Cell phones bad for your health?

I’ve been preaching this for a long time.  A few years ago, I compiled a folder full of studies on damage inflicted by cell phones.  Now, it’s getting mainstream media attention.  CNN devoted an entire Larry King to the topic two weeks ago.  This article (and forthcoming scientific study) sound ominous.  Those 4 years of I-Banking with that old school Nokia glued to my ear may come back to haunt me, in more ways than I realized….

  • There has been so much brouhaha over this issue.. It really is not proved scientifically.. so I guess its the least of our worries!
  • Guest
    Thanks man, just what I was looking for. Thanks so much…
  • It's not just cell phones they're worried about. The Tottenham area of London is considering the suspension of all wireless technology in its schools. Last year, Fred Gilbert, a respected scientist and president of Lakehead University in Ontario, banned wireless internet on his campus. And resident groups in San Francisco are currently battling Earthlink and Google over a proposed city-wide Wi-Fi system.
  • It is an interesting and very debatable topic. There are huge amount of scientific researches and other serious stuff related to bad impact of cell phones to our health. But I personally don’t believe in it. Maybe it will cause cancer to one of the 10 millions people but it is natural. I mean everyone is using cell phones now, even small kids. But it would be strange to think that everyone will get the cancer now. However thanks for the interesting post!

    I think people need a more personal approach when it comes to doctors. I know i have a doctor which takes care of my problems(prosolution) and he is so nice. He always knows me by name, he's friendly and i gladly attent every meeting.
  • Mostly people don't have any idea about this but those who have they don't even care about it..


    Thanks and Regards
  • Amazing article!
  • that was some quality information !
  • I have heard that the damaging mechanism seems to be a weakening of the blood-brain barrier, a kind of filter which protects the brain from toxic or otherwise unwanted chemicals circulated with the blood. As the brain is more sensitive than other body tissue, the barrier filters and bars entrance to what should not be in the brain.
  • As of now.. there has been a lot of rumors about the use of mobile phones but most of them seem to be lacking the scientific proof!! How funny !

    I already have studied about this that when you use phone, there are some radiations that effect your ear or may be eardrum and that ultimately causes cancer.

  • I do agree there are frequent health news , which puts using mobiles leads to lots of health complications.
  • But you devour to relax and view positive as a good thing. Just remember what you are doing it for.
  • I have heard that using too much cell phone can cause brain tumor is that so?
  • I don`t know about cancer but if they are close to your genitals, the power of sperm is reduced. Therefore you cant have many children. IF you want to!!

  • I am preaching something else. It's better have 50 years of high quality living than have 90 of an early-man-type lifestyle.
  • True. Cellphones are very useful and are considered as necessities but it has certain serious side effects. There are also speculations that it could affect one sexually and psychologically. I wonder how its study panned out?
  • nvaleo
    one of the trends that hard to remove is using mobile phones, but there are some bad effects regarding in so much using this gadget
  • This has caused alarm years ago, however what's good about it is that cell phone companies are continuously finding ways to minimize the radiation emitted by cell phones. Still we shouldn't rely on their efforts mostly, because we should also be always up to the task of keeping ourselves healthy, safe and sound.
  • cellphone have a little bit radiation and some experts says it is dangerous for our health if we will be exposed too long in tis radiation, they say it can cause cancer or whatsoever they call it. it is up to us what we do with ourselves but we should think of certain ways to keep our body healthy.
  • Radiations from cellphones are very harmful to ears ultimately leading to ear cancer. But now due to increasing use of cellphones,such kind of harmful effects cannot be avoided.But surely they are hazardous to health.
  • Well I believe that it is anticipated that this danger has far broader public health ramifications than asbestos and smoking, and directly concerns all of us, particularly the younger generation, including very young children
  • I really doubt this will have an effect on your health.
  • That is so true for it is already proven. Hopefully, experts would make an invention that would prevent cellphones from harming our health.
  • This doesn't surprise me at all. Because even stuff that are vital like water could kill if too much of it is taken. That is why we are always left with the task of moderation so we could avoid the hazards that it brings. Hope that the radiation and other harmful elements that a cell phone has would be minimized as technology advances further.
  • As technology advances further, the preventive measures against the hazards that it brings should also equally progress.
