Cell Phones are the Cigarettes of the 21st Century.

These are just a few recent examples of study data linking electromagnetic radiation and cell phone use to a stunning array of serious health concerns:
At a recent hearing, witnesses testified that cell phone use has been linked to salivary gland tumors
Wearing a cell phone on your hip – either on your belt or in a pocket – has been linked to decreased bone density in the pelvic region. All the other vital organs located in your pelvic region – your liver, kidney, bladder, colon and reproductive organs – are also susceptible to radiation damage.
Proximity to cell phone towers causes an increase in the symptoms of electromagnetic hypersensitivity, including fatigue, sleep disturbances, visual and auditory disturbances, and cardiovascular effects, just to name a few.
Cell Phones and Brain Cancer A significant increase in cell phone users’ risk of brain tumors at the brain’s outer edge, on whichever side the cell phone was held most often.
A 60 percent greater chance of acoustic neuromas, a tumor affecting the nerve that controls hearing, among people who had used cell phones for six years or more.
A higher rate of brain cancer deaths among handheld mobile phone users than among car phone users (car phones are mounted on the dashboard rather than held next to your head]
In addition to the widespread concern about brain cancer, scientists have found that information-carrying radio waves transmitted by cell phones and other wireless devices can:
Harm your blood cells and cause cellular changes
Damage your DNA
Cause nerve-cell damage
Possibly accelerate and contribute to onset of autism, and trigger Alzheimer’s disease (You may have read the recent spin that cellphone use can cure Alzheimer’s, but you should know that study involved exposures that were nothing like a cell phone exposure, even though the publicity suggested otherwise. More on this soon.)
Damage your eyes
Cause sleep disruptions, fatigue and headaches.

I strongly agree with you on the environmental and health risks that are posed due to our evolving technological era. However, efforts to inform and educate users of cell phones and cigarettes tend to fall on deaf ears. With determination and a renewed sense of direction we may engage not just our governments on these strengthening issues but we will be able to create a generation that is willing to partake in these efforts. This generation will be able to create new and innovative ideas on how to reduce the effects of cigarettes and electromagnetic radiation from cellular phones on our environment and health.  G-Ann
