Mobile phone radiation might alter protein expression in human skin

Isn't that just peachy?

I would say rather that cell phones allow people to much freedom so the liberals are trying to manufacture a new scare that will cause people to eventually turn against them. That way not only will we not be able to drive our cars but we won’t be able to talk to people when we are out riding our bicycles or riding our wonderful public transportation systems./SAR

That’s pretty amazing for a 3.6 Volt, 2200 milliamphour battery.

Why do I get the feeling this claim may go the way of the electric-power-lines-cause-leukemia claims from Sweden a few years ago?

There is iron in every cell of the human body. Iron is the key atom in blood that lets it transport oxygen and gives it a metallic taste. Iron is also the key material in radio antennas. Iron reacts with radio waves converting the electromagnetic energy into an electric current that can be amplified.

Radio waves expand with distance losing their power density however a metal surface will reflect microwaves and a curved metal surface can refocus the energy like a lens. Sitting inside an airliner with 300 people talking on their cell phones is a little like being inside a microwave oven.

I have a new implanted cardiac defibrillator. Instructions are to use a cell phone on the ear opposite the ICD.

That aside, there was a story not long ago that some morbidly obese woman had grown to the couch where she lay, so that the couch material had become part of her skin.

From looking around Atlanta, It is evident to me that cell phones will be the next big evolutionary move. Cell phones are in use so much that they will grow to the ear and become part of human DNA.

Cordless phones are also harmful....so they say

With both cell and cordless you are holding a radiation source closer to you and for longer periods than anything else you use. The closeness is the killer

It's great!
Natural selection at work.
Converting a necessity into a toy may have unexpected consequences that will reap great rewards.

Just saying.

"We don't see a risk looking at currently available data, but we need more definite answers about the biological effects of cell phone radiation and about the more complicated question of whether mobile phones might cause even a small increase in the risk of developing cancer" says David Feigal, M.D., director of FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health.

That's the second paragraph of this posted article with the FDA basically saying we don't know if cell phones are safe long term.

I wanted to read the paper linked in comment# 1 before I wrote anything more since I started the thread. There's another link at comment# 12 that's worth a gander if the science is over your head.

IMHO, prudence dictates that you keep your landlines, and use your cellphones next to your ears just for emergencies. That's what I'm telling family and friends. This is starting to look like a tort lawyer's delight.

This result seems to apply only to GSM phones.

From the paper:

...were irradiated for 1 hour with 900 MHz GSM signal...

Fair disclosure: I work for the CDMA folks.

Take a look at Snopes for the latest fad, cooking eggs and popcorn via cell phones.

Even my daughter (who should know better) fell for it.

All part of a viral marketing campaign by folks at Cardio.

While talking on my cell phone, not only is my phone still on my belt, but both hands are free to perform all kinds of important tasks un-interrupted. Why? Because I use my boom mic headset. BTW, I've tried lots of different brands, and the best of the low-cost ones is made by VoiceStar available at Radio Shack (about $30).

And please don't try to sell me on any bluetooth. I haven't found ONE that can perform under the high-background-noise adverse conditions that a boom mic headset can.

Thanks for the ping. I’ve been using Bluetooth in my car. People tell me they can’t hear me as well as when I hold the phone...

Thanks for posting this.

Here’s a link to the latest from Dr. Mercola, very alarming:

When I hold my cell phone to my ear and talk for a long time (20 minutes +), that ear and the surrounding neck tissue feels “stuffy” as if I had a head cold. If I take a (real) Sudafed, it goes away.

I have no idea what the mechanism is at work, but I use the speakerphone whenever I can to avoid the feeling.
