Research raises new concerns about the effects of mobile devices.
The latest study is from a famous cancer researcher from the UK. The following is an article reported by Fox News:
"A study by an award-winning cancer expert shows that cell phone use could kill more people than smoking, it is reported."
"According to the U.K.'s Independent newspaper, the study, headed by Dr. Vini Khurana, shows that there is a growing body of evidence that using handsets for 10 years or more can double the risk of brain cancer."
"Khurana -- one of the world's top neurosurgeons -- based his assessment on the fact that three billion people now use the phones worldwide. That is three times higher than people who smoke. Smoking kills some five million globally each year."
"He warned that people should avoid using handsets whenever possible and called on the phone industry to make them safer. France and Germany have already warned against the use of mobile phones, especially by children, it is reported."
"The study is said to be the most damning indictment of cell phone use. According to the Independent, cancers take at least 10 years to develop, which has influenced
earlier cancer studies showing relative safety when using cell phones."
Mobile phones severely disrupt sleep patterns, according to scientific research into their impact
on human rest, funded by the Mobile Manufacturers Association.
The research undertaken by the Electromagnetic Academy based at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in the United States, exposed 71 men and women, aged between 18 and 45, to mobile phone radiation as they prepared to sleep.
According to the study, monitoring under laboratory conditions showed the initial 'light' phases of
sleep in the subjects were affected. In addition, "exposure to 884 MHz wireless signals, components of sleep, believed to be important for recovery from daily wear and tear, are adversely affected." The research also found that those exposed to mobile
phones during their sleep appear to have more headaches, than those not exposed.
The findings coincide with calls from UK company Exradia, manufacturers of the first device proven to neutralize potentially dangerous mobile phone radiation, for more government research into the health issues being raised.
David Schick, Exradia chief executive, said, "This study is yet another example of how using
mobile phones can have a detrimental effect on humans. It is critical that the UK Government now undertakes a formal public inquiry into this issue."
France recently became the latest country to advise against excessive use of mobile phones, particularly by children. Other countries who've issued similar advice include Sweden, the UK, Israel and India.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has stated that electro-magnetic fields or radiation that exceeds 2.5 milligauss (mG) can be harmful to human health.
"Most cellular phones emit over 5 milligauss with the average emissions over 50 milligauss," states Dr. Robert O. Young, a research scientist at the pH Miracle Living Center.
Dr. Young also states, "the hybrid cars on the drivers side is an electro-magnetic hot box of
radiation that exceeds 50 milligauss and in some hybrid cars over 100 milligauss."
"The most dangerous appliance that is used by most women is the hair dryer which exceeds over 100 milligauss and can be as high as 20,000 milligauss.
Most women have no idea that they are dousing their brain with harmful radiation from
hair dryers, their cell phones and now the cars they are driving," states Dr. Young.
"I have measured many of the large cellular phone services offered in the US for levels of EMF radiation and the only company I have found to date that has acceptable electro-magnetic field (EMF) radiation emissions below EPA standards is the Verizon Cellular phone company," states Dr. Young.
"EMF radiation from cell phones, hair dryers, automobiles, microwaves, TV's, computers,
airplanes, etc., is the most powerful acidic contributor to ill-health ever invented by man
in the last 100 years," states Dr. Young
"Most of us live in an invisible soup of radiation making us sick, tired and depressed."
"Maybe that is why we feel better when we go to the mountains or to the beach."
