Here we go, again.
You beat me to it. Good God. Don't these people ever give up?
Having had two acquaintances diagnosed over the past couple of years with brain tumors in the area where they hold their cellphones, I'm not so sure there isn't something to this.
When I was in radio, we were instructed to limit our exposure when taking transmitter readings. Now people have miniature transmitters stuck to their heads, sometimes hours a day.
There is, however, a huge reason for downplaying and poohpoohing the possibility of a cell phone-tumor connection, namely the biggest class-action lawsuit in the history of the world.
"Here we go, again."
You don't understand RF..Must be young,only talking 5 watts with a mobile..100,000 watts at the tower,but I don't recommend leaning my head against a transmmisiom tower even if it is only 5 watts.
No kidding - this has been a claim since the first handheld cell phones.
And in that time, various studies have been done to both verify the claim and to disprove it.
But then again, everything known to man causes cancer...or so it seems.
My 23 year old nephew was diagnosed with a level II astrocytoma brain tumor in the area of his right ear last August. Over the last 5 years, he exclusively used a cell phone on the right side of his head. Two craneotomy surgeries later within 2 months, the surgeon thinks they were able to remove between 80-90% of the tumor. I have wondered if there was a cell phone component to this. If it didn't cause the tumor did the cell phone cause the tumor to grow at a faster rate.
