Cell Phones and Brain Cancer: Is There a Link?

With the recent announcement by the WHO (World Health Organization) on the potential dangers of cell phone radiation, we are naturally concerned, especially those of us who use mobile phones regularly and / or who have children with cell phones. What is certain, we wonder, in terms of usage, cell type and exposure? Are there any cell phones are safer than others, and there are ways that we can limit the risk by changing our patterns of use?

While responses are still coming in, there are things you can do to protect yourself. These tips come from various sources, including a brain scientist who had recovered from brain cancer (Dr. David Servan-Schreiber - if you have not read his book, anticancer, a new way of life, go get a great! Reading for anyone who wants to prevent cancer , or already engaged in health causes cancer gifts). At the same time, all the dread of cancer, but somehow in denial that they will ever touch us personally. It is time we look clearly at the rates of cancer in the wall of the last decade and take as many steps as we can personally to protect our health.

When it comes to this health problem, we are all exposed to radiation in varying degrees, even those of us who do not have a cell phone. In North America, unless they live in remote and wild are completely off the grid, you're probably under the influence, even if the cell tower and criss crossing signals in the air. Experts tell us that wireless phones are similar risks, and it's just as many come to the end of the study are alarming statistics become available. However, mobile phones and smart phones are here to stay, so let's do what we can give this a reality.

For one thing, most mobile phone manufacturers are now offering visitors to protect their phones, as consumers become more aware and concerned. Ask for specific information about your phone and be sure to check the rating of any phone you buy. Other tips include the use of headphones, and not putting the phone against your ear when you talk, and letting the phone away from spending until someone answers, according to experts, the signal is stronger when the phone rings before it connects. The signal is stronger when the cell towers, so if the connection is bad and try to hang later when it is safe. For children and youth with brain development, limit cell phone use, and if nothing else, encourage texting during the speech (which ever thought anyone would say that?).
