The industry spokesman says “oh yeah mobile phones are
safe”. Not only does he use his mobile phone every day he
uses it a lot every day! Mmm, maybe, but I don’t buy what
he’s saying at all, but what I do buy is:
- The statistics that say brain tumors are on the increase
- Neurosurgeons, like Dr Richard Bittar and Dr Keith Black
and Dr Charlie Teo ….. and others who are ringing the alarm
bells about cell phone radiation and brain tumors
- my own physical reaction to exposure to EMFs like cell
phone radiation
Cell Phones and Brain Tumors
Asbestos and smoking were prized for years as being
necessary and good; as mobile phones are now. The industry
that polices the nation’s 20 million mobiles is repeatedly
having to defend the claims that cell phones are safe. But
what you are about to see, if you believe a former mobile
phone salesman and a leading brain surgeon, is the first
true sign of the danger your mobile poses to your life.
The evidence is mounting, brain tumors are on the increase.
Even neurosurgeons are concerned, but the industry stands
firm. David Smith faithfully sold mobile phones for 10
years. Little did he know he was getting paid to sell, what
he believes now, has ruined his life. He says, “I was angry
at the mobile phone companies, and also the
telecommunication companies too, because they’ve put these
products on the market with the proper research into what it
does and I guess they’ve used us as guinea pigs.”
David: Cancer Survivor former and former Mobile Phone
Salesman
David was just 30 years old when he underwent 3 operations
to remove the tumor as big as a golf ball around his
acoustic nerve. During the surgery, the nerve was removed
and another was accidentally damaged causing David to lose
muscular control in his face.
So David, the tumor was just here, on the right, behind your
ear. That’s right, behind my right ear. Where did you use to
talk on the mobile phone? I used to use my right ear as my
phone ear. I used to use a mobile phone maybe one or two
hours a day for the 10 years or so before I was diagnosed.
David’s tumor is one that studies have linked to mobile
phone use. Professor Bruce Armstrong is head of Sydney
University Public Health Unit. He spent 10 years looking at
the research between mobile phones and brain tumors. He says
there is evidence of a two fold increase in risk of tumors.
While David is trying to piece his life back together, he
worries for the millions who constantly use their mobile. He
says, “You see 10 year olds running around the street using
mobile phones, and I just wonder how the mobile phones are
going to affect the development of their brains.”…….
Neurosurgeon Richard Bittar
None of these cases surprise those in the business of brain
surgery. A prominent Canberra neurologist has written a
research report into the link between mobile phones and
brain tumors. He believes mobiles will be the next great
public health issue, and compares their effect with those of
smoking and asbestos. He is calling on government and
industry to take immediate steps to reduce the exposure of
mobile phones to consumers.”There is certainly an element of
concern not only from myself but from a lot of my
colleagues”.
As a neurosurgeon Richard Bittar has seen a rise in brain
tumors in the last 15 years, but says it’s hard to point the
finger solely at mobile phone use. Yet Richard tries to use
his mobile only on loud speaker, or uses a nearby landline
when possible. He explains; “a lot of my neurosurgical
colleagues go even further and really try to minimize the
amount of mobile phone use they engage in. I think that
reflects an underlying concern that there may well be a
relationship.”His warning to consumers: “minimize the amount
of time you spend with your mobile up against your ear.”
Mobile Companies Response
But Australian Mobile Telecommunication Association
spokesperson Chris Althaus isn’t concerned. Are you worried
about getting a tumor? “No.” Do you use your phone every
day? “I use my phone every day and I use it quite a lot
every day. So I’m very comfortable personally with the way
the research effort conveys, to markets like Australia and
globally, the level of safety that you can enjoy while using
a mobile phone.”
David’s response is; “I think we need to keep an open mind
about this. I think burying our head in the sand is not a
good way to go on this issue.”" It ruined the life that I
had previously.”" I had all these plans and ideas and so
much hope for the future and now that’s all changed. I’ve
had to reevaluate everything.”
