Cell Phones Are Predicted To be The Largest Cancer Causing Product Ever Developed

Everyone has a cellular phone these days – some people have two – and the vast majority of them spend their days glued to the electric devices, talking to everyone from clients to their children in succession. I’ve always had concerns over the use of cellular phones, mainly because of what is going on inside those little plastic shells.

Long before Bluetooth headsets were available, I was using a wired head piece, to the amusement of many of my friends who would take pains to point out that I appeared to be talking to myself. I had good cause to keep the phone away from my ear though – even the preliminary reports were showing that there was a growing, downright dangerous risk of putting an electronic device with irradiating effects so close to your head for so long.

Recent reports have only further shown that this is the case. A recent article run in The Independent, one of the UK’s largest newspapers, showcases the findings of an award-winning cancer expert, Dr. Vinin Khurana. Basically, it goes on to state that cell phones may end up being the most cancer causing substance to develop in the 20th century and that if the industries don’t take immediate steps to solve the problem, it could only get worse.

Using evidence that was published in the IoS in October of 2007, the report states that anyone who has been using a handset for 10 or more years has already doubled their risk of brain cancer. While companies making these handsets have published their own reports ensuring safety, the truth is that it takes a full 10 years for cancer to even develop for clinical purposes and with cellular phones only becoming mainstream equipment in the last decade, the data is just starting to roll in; if only it weren’t so damning.

Nations across Europe are already starting to warn their citizens to use their phones less, with France warning against children’s usage, Germany asking people to use them less, and the EPA equivalent for Europe asking people to leave the phone off more often.

I have always applauded the efforts of other governments to make it clear that cell phone usage is dangerous (and derided our own government for being so lax on such a massive potential health risk), but it is Professor Khurana’s research I really wanted to talk about. His reports have earned him 14 awards in 16 years and he has reviewed more than 100 studies on the effects of cellular handsets on the human brain. He essentially says that as far as he can state, there is a definite link between brain tumors and mobile phone usage and that we can expect scientific proof in the next decade.

When a neurosurgeon of Professor Khurana’s intellect and experience comes out and states that cellular phones represent a danger that could go well beyond what smoking and asbestos presented in the last century, I find myself catching my breath. The potential health crisis that will develop in future decades is overwhelming and has me speaking out to anyone whose other ear isn’t buried in a phone. Trust me when I tell you that this will be the 21st Century’s next jawdropping medical “oops” and it will affect everyone, not just the few who decided to smoke or the unfortunates who worked in unsafe environments. Millions could be in danger right now.

Get yourself a wired headset that you can pop in and out of your ears when you know you’ll be on the cell phone for a good length of time.  You’ll be able to hear the person better anyway, and you’ll keep the harmful signals down in your pant pocket instead of on your brain (and eyes, ears, etc.)
