Is Your Cell
Phone Killing You Slowly?
For years now, people have been using
cellphones, and thinking nothing of it. In
fact, there is a plethora of data to back up
the fact that these phones emit very low
levels of electromagnetic radiation; far
less than an x-ray or MRI, and are therefore
safe. Yet, what about the long-term effects
of this radiation? It is a known fact that
sun is good for you - you get vitamin D from
exposure to it, but too much will give you a
sunburn. Plus, over the years, the
cumulative effects of too much sun can lead
to skin cancer.
So, what about cellphones? Okay, it is
true that they emit very little radiation,
but there is the issue of the cumulative
effect. There is also a great deal of data
to support the contention that these
cumulative effects can be quite detrimental
to people's health. In recent years, we have
seen a rise in various types of cancers -
brain, ear and eye, and other ailments
related to the brain: migraines, epilepsy
and impotency, to name only a few.
As if that is not bad enough, there is
the
issue of children's health.
It is well known that children are very
susceptible to all manner of health
problems. As their small bodies are growing
and consuming vast amounts of nutrients,
they can also consume things that are not
good for them; and their cells and organs
can be damaged by many things. This is where
cellphone radiation can cause a great deal
of trouble.
It is for this reason that you should
follow some basic precautions. First off,
try to avoid cooking food for infants and
children in a microwave oven. It may be
easier to warm a baby's bottle in a
microwave, but it is not in the child's best
interest. Next, do not leave your cellphone
lying around where your children can get
hold of it, and do not let them talk on it
too much. What is really best; turn your
cellphone off when you do not need it. Then
there is where you keep your cellphone. Try
to avoid carrying it on your person. If it
is near your heart, that can lead to
trouble. Down at your waist, there is
ovarian or testicular cancer to be
considered. And, if you are a woman, and you
are pregnant, be sure to keep the phone away
from your belly!
By following a few simple precautions,
you can greatly reduce your chances of ill
health as a result of
cellphone radiation.
When you consider some of the medical
problems that can result from too much
exposure, you will see that these steps are
in your best long-term interest.
