Your fears are not completely unfounded. Mobile phones can actually cause cancer, says a study.

A metabolic imbalance caused by radiation from your wireless devices could be the link to a number of health risks, such as various neurodegenerative diseases and cancer, the study suggested.

This imbalance, also known as oxidative stress, is defined as “an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidant defence” by the authors.

What about if you use your phone mainly for browsing, Internet etc. not calls?
 
Exactly why we don’t want the “Smart Meters” basically forced on us.
 
I keep my cellphone use to a minimum. Cancer takes years, if not decades, to develop. I am pretty sure there are no reliable studies on massive cell phone use for 30-50 years. If there is a problem, we will find out in a few decades when it will be too late.
 
Well, from what I’ve read some will say that reactive oxygen,ozone in particular, is useful for fighting cancer. It’s a type of cancer treatment used in Cuba, Russia, and Germany from what I’ve read, with some success. Of course others disagree, mentioning the differences between antioxidants and oxidants - electron donors and electron stealers.

I think what people have been doing that are concerned about high EMF energy causing disease is to ground themselves. I thought this a nice article and video demonstration on that.

“The Ultimate Antioxidant: Fight Premature Aging for Free”

snippet:
…Until large-scale studies and mechanistic investigations are completed, many scientists and many electric utilities have suggested that those who use electrical appliances practice “prudent avoidance” meaning that they should minimize their exposure to sources of electric power until the scientific evidence is more definitive.

In the context of “prudent avoidance,” some proponents of Earthing systems have emphasized the fact that Earthing greatly reduces your exposure to fields from electrical wiring, using evidence provided by the body voltage meter as shown above. While this is probably correct, reducing exposure to power frequency fields (including dirty electromagnetic fields) is definitely not the most important consequence of Earthing. Far more significant for health is the ability of Earthing systems to deliver antioxidant electrons that stabilize the operation of the immune system and other physiological processes in the body.

The Health Benefits of Grounding

The most important health consequence of Earthing is providing your body abundant electrons from the Earth. The scientific research and hypotheses related to Earthing point to a major impact on the inflammatory process as a result of this electron transfer.

Your body has evolved a means to kill bacteria using reactive oxygen species (ROS) that are delivered to a site of injury by white blood cells. Although very effective at this task, ROS are also very reactive biochemically and can damage healthy tissues. ROS are usually positively charged molecules that need to be neutralized immediately to prevent them from diffusing into healthy tissues.

That is one of the major reasons why your body needs an abundant supply of negative charges. Food based antioxidants like astaxanthin are helpful but a regular supply of electrons from the earth can supply them as well…

No where in the review paper does the article claim “can actually cause cancer” appear.

Although I agree with your premise, the article does indeed say that in the second sentence!

Sorry if I was not clear. The article does indeed say this (“can actually cause cancer”), while the *review paper it purports to quote *does not say this, or anything remotely like this.

Roger that – I misunderstood you.

Anything and everything can cause cancer. Here is an article that concerns water

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1518976/

basically, one needs to remember that we don’t get out of this world without dying. Even Jesus had to die. Stop worrying so much.

With the possible exception of Enoch… 😃

I haven’t read all the literature on all the possible health issues related to modern technology. So I’m agnostic on a lot of issues.

Cellphones are ubiquitous, but for how long have they been so? 15 years? How long were cigarettes around before warning labels appeared? Doctors supposedly advertised cigarettes.

As for not worrying…

My mom is a cancer survivor. My father was just diagnosed with cancer…and it’s already stage IV. I’m sorry if I am a bit worried. I already have a possible genetic risk (which I have no control over) for cancer, so that does not leave me much wiggle room with regard to environmental factors (which I may be able to exert some control over).

I am not saying one should seal oneself in a hypoallergenic gluten-free bubble in a hermetically-sealed chamber with a tinfoil hat. Nor do I think one should take a nicotine transfat thalidomide smoothie and inject it into one’s carotid artery (hey, gotta die of something!). I think there is a middle ground of reasonable prudence, and it can be hard to winnow through all the agenda-driven or profit-motivated claptrap out there so that I can get enough information to make an informed decision in my own best interests.
 
I thought these be interesting interviews of Professor Gerald Pollack. In one of them is a brief mention about his colleagues believing cell phones and electronic devises can be cancer causing.

Later in one of the talks, he mentions that he and his students in their research discovered that electronic devises, such has lap tops, with EMFs have been found to diminish structured water (structured water also is called EZ water.)

That was interesting to me because Raymond Ramadan and Gilbert Ling creators of the MRI scanner found that MRIs were able to distinguish tumor cells from non-tumor cells by the type of cell water. Water appeared less structured in tumor cells. As Professor Pollack’s mentions, in one of his books " The rational, then, is to look for agents that may impact water structuring - for such agents should promote mitosis and could promote rampant mitosis." … “agents that promote water ordering are predicted to inhibit tumor proliferation. To my knowledge, this approach has not been tested. Nor is it established whether the reputed efficacy of some current anti-cancer agents might lie in much a mechanism.”

Yes, Ive said the same thing in the past, cell phones have not been around long for people to see the long term effects, cigarettes went thru the exact same thing in decades past…its amazing to see how people that do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. lol

Plus, Id keep in mind with these studies, cell phone companies are HUGE money makers, its crazy to think this doesnt effect the studies.

Imo, in future years, people will be looking back and saying how crazy those people back in the early 2000s were to be using those dangerous cell phones, how could they not have known how dangerous they were…just like most people do with cigarettes today.

In 1939 the first study conclusively proving smoking was carcinogenic of course that was in Nazi Germany who promptly behaved like fascists in their reduction of cigarette smoking.

Cellular phones are immensely useful devices unlike coffin nails.

Just because cell phones are useful does not make them non-harmful.

Again, the opinions for and against may be tainted by profit motive and political agenda, respectively – as it is with anything.

It’s like trying to find a consensus re healthy food. Saturated vs unsaturated vs trans fats. Good cholesterol, bad cholesterol, in-between-but-sad cholesterol. Carbs: Good diet food or death on a cracker?

And sometimes I wonder about study methodologies…“A recent study of left-handed men named Shirley found no correlation between consumption of heavy metals and death by orangutan bite.”
 
Not to be uncharitable but it is hilarious to see people who believe in “earthing” or “structured water” think they have any competence to judge the safety of cell phones. See:
theness.com/neurologicablog/index.php/earthing/
archive.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1652-magic-water.html

Do cell phones cause cancer? I don’t know, it certainly hasn’t been proven. I’m sure there are long-term health risks (as there are with everything). I suspect in a few years we’ll be seeing people with chronic neck pain from always looking down at their phones.

I doubt that people would quit using cell phones even if they came with a big skull and crossbones and a printed warning about cancer.
