This year, The Journal of the American Medical Association
reported on research from the National Institutes of Health,
which found that less than an hour of cellphone use can
speed up brain activity in the area closest to the phone
antenna. The study was among the first and largest to
document that the weak radio frequency signals from
cellphones have a measurable effect on the brain. The
research also offers a potential, albeit hypothetical,
explanation for how low levels of nonionizing radiation
could cause harm without breaking chemical bonds, possibly
by triggering the formation of free radicals or an
inflammatory response in the brain.
“We looked carefully at the physical phenomena by which
exposure to such fields might perturb biological systems and
lead to cancers,” said Dr. Samet. But he said the result was
inconclusive, adding, “We found some threads of evidence
about how cancer might occur but have to acknowledge gaps
and uncertainties.”
The panel made no comment on how large or small a risk
cellphone radiation may pose to human health. “Our task was
not to quantify risk,’’ said Dr. Samet.
Although the panel did not make specific recommendations to
consumers, a representative did note that using a hands-free
headset during a conversation or communicating via text
message would be options for lowering radio frequency
exposure.
The panel’s recommendation is unlikely to have any immediate
effect, but is expected to be used as guidance by the World
Health Organization, which may make recommendations about
cellphone safety.
Dr. Meir Stampfer, a professor of epidemiology at the
Harvard School of Public Health who is a paid adviser for
the cellphone industry, said it was important to remember
that the panel’s decision to rank cellphones as a “possible”
carcinogen was very different from saying that they pose a
real health risk.
“It’s a very thoughtful group, but the important thing is
putting it into the perspective of what ‘possible’ means,
and the likelihood that this is really something to be
concerned about,’’ Dr. Stampfer said. “The evidence doesn’t
support that. Comparing this to going out in the sun or any
number of normal everyday activities that we’re not really
concerned about, I would put cellphones in the lower part of
that category.’’
Still, Louis Slesin, editor of Microwave News, a newsletter
that focuses on nonionizing radiation, said in an e-mail
that the fact that the W.H.O.’s cancer panel had expressed
concern had the potential to change the debate about the
health risks of cellphones. “It’s a wake-up call for the
telecom industry and for the U.S. government to take
cellphone radiation seriously,” he said. “The first step
should be limiting the use of cellphones by children.”
Henry C. Lai, a professor of bioengineering at the
University of Washington in Seattle and an expert in
electromagnetic fields, said the credibility of the W.H.O.
panel made it difficult to dismiss the findings.
“The debate will go on, except this is the first statement
from the W.H.O. saying we should be careful with exposure to
this kind of radiation,’’ he said. “It’s quite a mixture of
people, and some very respectable researchers. If someone
says this panel isn’t good, I don’t know who else we should
be listening to.”
Dr. Lai added that the solution to concerns about cellphone
risks is relatively simple. “A precautionary approach is the
best policy,” he said. “If people use cellphones, they
should consider using an earpiece. Just keep the phone away
from the head.”
I myself would invest in the Scalar Energy Technology, by
utilizing the Quantum Shield to help enhance the biofield of
the body to protect against the harmful effects of EMF and
EMR, that is being emitted from 11 billion appliances and 4
billion cell phones worldwide!
