Keep Away From Cell Phones, Keep Away From Dangerous Radiation: New Book

A leading scientist has said that in order to avoid exposure to radiation from one's phone, one must keep the instrument as far away from the body as possible.

Devra Lee Davis, PhD, MPH, President of the Environmental Health Trust, made the suggestion after going through published studies on the effects of cell phone use and recent global initiatives advancing cell phone safety.

Mobile Phone Radiation is Indeed a Health Hazard - Report
After years of speculation, the committee formed by the government of India finally confirmed that mobile phones do pose a serious risk

The dangers of cell phones have led to preventive policies in France, Israel, Finland, and India, and there are simple ways to minimize the health risks associated with exposure to the radiation energy they emit.

Davis discussed the various ways the microwave radiation given off by cell phones that are on, whether in use or not, affect the body, and offers practical recommendations for optimising safe use.

In the article, she explores the health risks and concerns associated with cell phone use such as brain cancer, sperm motility and viability, long-term health implications for young people, and dementia in older people.

Strong Mobile Phone Radiation Can Influence Learning Processes
Neuroscientists from Bochum have proved that extremely high-powered electromagnetic fields (EMFs) indeed influence learning processes on the synaptic level within the brain.

An award-winning scientist, Davis, whose most recent book, 'Disconnect', focuses on the little-known science underlying cell phones and health, recognizes the practical and societal value of cell phones but cautions that their use is not without health risks, calling upon industry and government to take the necessary steps to help people understand and minimize their risk.

"In using phones, distance is your friend, because radiation exposure falls off dramatically the farther away from the brain or body you use your phone," Davis said.

New Study Reveals 'Stunning Proof' of Cell Phone Radiation Hazards
A group of international scientists has released what they call 'stunning proof' confirming cell phone use can disrupt DNA, impair brain function and lower sperm count.

"If you read the fine print warnings that come with all smart phones today they are quite clear-phones should not be used next to the brain or body, or kept in the pocket," she added.

The article has been featured in Alternative and Complementary Therapies, published by Mary Ann Liebert, Inc.
