Waves Of Confusion…

 

Do cell phones bust your brain—or not?

There’s a lot of conflicting information about their long tern effects—and it may take a another decade or so to get some answers about mobile phone microwaves…

Earlier this week, I got a new cell phone— the one pictured above. It operates without an external antenna—which depending on your perspective may be better—or worse—for your brain…

 

Take a look at this video…

 

It shows how setting up a several cell phones with-in a few inches of popcorn cause the corn to pop when all of the phones are called simultaneously…

Fluke?

Not likely. This is one of several videos posted on-line of people using their cell phones to pop corn.

 

The question is—if the radiation from the phones can do that to corn—what can it do to you?

 

 

Some say the radiation will cause brain cancer.

 

 

The FDA says there’s no clear connection.

The agency explains its reasoning here claiming among other things that the radiation from a cell phone is non-ionizing radiation, which it says:

 

“is different than the ionizing radiation like that from a medical x-ray, which can present a health risk at certain doses.”

 

It also says a cell phone’s:

“main source of RF energy is its antenna, so the closer the antenna is to a phone user’s head, the greater the person’s expected exposure to Radio Frequency (aka RF) energy.”

 

And since more and more cell phones are being manufactured WITHOUT external antennas — one would think that might reduce the level of RF energy being blasted into your brain.

 

 

But—cancers are known to take a decade—or more to develop… As you can read here, a new study is underway NOW that’ll conclude in a ten years or so—to see if there’s a correlation between brain cancers and cell phones.

 

I don’t know about cell phone-cancer links—but, I can pass on some anecdotal evidence from my own life regarding RF energy.

 

I spent more than 10 years in radio news between 1977 and 1988.

And, in those days before cell phone, we communicated via walkie-talkies.

 

 

As you can see in this photo, those units had nice, BIG antennas on them—which pumped a signal right into your brain…

 

I logged countless hours 5 days a week—reporting live via those walkie-talkies for 11 years.

It’s been 20 years since I used those units—and—although I’ve got other age appropriate ailments—I haven’t developed any brain cancers that I know of…

 

Now—is the microwave RF energy from a walkie talkie similar to the RF energy from a cell phone?

 

I’m not expert enough to answer that.

 

But, I do know—there appear to be no ill effects to me from long term RF energy resulting from Walkie-Talkie use.

 

 

However, I’ll keep an open mind. ( I sorta have to—cause my cell phone’s transmitting into it !)
