In Australia landlines (installation & rental), have been made more expensive than using a cell phone. This is pushing up sales & usage of cell phones. Is this the case world wide?

I am also greatful to DR, Mercola that he continue to write about this danger because it is so important to be aware of that, I also look on this problem from a spiritual point of wiev, and it means that you or we get disconnected from our higher self, that is why so many dont think or see it as a problem and if they feel somthing they wont or cant do someting about it, try to seach for healing water on google and you can see my small invention to protect your brain, it is just a sound I have channeled and when it is stored on the cell phone, the you will be protected and gent healing when you talk.

The headline as posted in this newsletter reads: "Increasing Danger From Cell Phones"

And the blurb under the headline reads: "WHAT CAN YOU DO TO ELIMINATE THE EVER-INCREASING DOCUMENTATION OF HARM AND DAMAGE FROM CELL PHONES? - ? - Please read carefully. I'm sure Dr. Mercola doesn't really mean that! We would be advised to ELIMINATE the danger of cell phones, not the DOCUMENTATION, right?

Has anyone here reproduced the corn-popping effect in the YouTube videos? I would really like to know if they were hoaxes or not. Absolutely the most-damning evidence against them if really true!

In the 1950's, researchers at Columbia University noticed that they could accelerate bone growth with a low frequency magnetic field.

Since that time, numerous studies have explored the interaction between living cells and these fields, and many have shown that even at quite weak field strengths, the production of proto-oncogenes, which are the precursors to cancer cells, is also accelerated.

This is especially true for children, since their cells are multiplying till they reach physical maturity, when they switch to a replacement rate of cell division. This effect is stronger near higher current wires, since it is a magnetic field effect, and most hazardous for a fetus, since their cell division rate is highest.

Because of this, the riskiest behavior is when a pregnant mother uses a "safer low-voltage" electric blanket or heating pad, since they carry the highest 60Hz currents. This may prove to be the strongest factor for the increase in miscarriages, birth defects, and health problems among the poor, since one solution to the high cost of heating fuel is to crank up the electric blanket.

It is long overdue to eliminate this horrific mutagenic risk. BAN AC POWERED ELECTRIC BLANKETS AND HEATING PADS. Write your congressman today.

For over 80 years amateur radio operators have been exposed to radio frequeny power levels over 5000 times that of a cell phone, some for extended periods of time. Even popular amateur radio hand held transceivers which may be held close to the head, operate at power levels of 5 watts output which is 10 to 20 times more than a cell phone. To best of my knowledge I know of no reports of increased brain cancers in the population of amateur radio operators.

This article appears to confuse the difference between mechanical vibration and electromagnetic radiation – both of which are measured in frequency units, but are not otherwise related. A mechanical resonance at frequency X, does not imply an electromagnetic resonance at that frequency.

I don't like to use cell phones because I feel them buzzing in my hand, very uncomfortable and creepy.

I wd like to know from Dr. M whether his BlueTube can be produced with a usb plug so it can be used with organizers. Organizers have usb ports, not single pin jack ports. My son has tried various kinds of headsets and they all break aftr awhile. He no longer uses the Blue Tooth or whatever that is, as he is aware of the dangers of EMR. If ayone else wd like to use the Blue Tube, ask Dr. M. to look into having it provided with a usb plug. If enough of us ask, then perhaps his manufacturer will agree to do it. You'll never get wht you don't ask for! Gaye Leslie

No-one HAS to use a cell-phone, just as no-one HAS to watch TV. If you think something is dangerous, stop using it! It's a free country (or is it?). Worried about losing your job if you don't use the cell-phone? The economy was a lot healthier before everybody had a cell-phone, and the populace was healthier too, so maybe we need to learn how to say no to a bad thing.

I sent a comment regarding the last featured article "What's More Important: Your Cell-Phone or Your Brain?" in which I mentioned the use of cell-phones in "developing" countries for people to set up home-based businesses, and make market-based decisions, and I was amazed by the minimal response. Cell-phones are evidently bad for people in fast-track jobs with phones for free (who seem to think they MUSTuse them), but nobody cared to comment about how so many hip micro-loans are financing cell-phone ownership by (mostly) women, and what the health impact might be there.

I don't have a cell-phone, a cordless phone, or a TV, or air-conditioning, and I function just fine. I've even travelled by air, without a credit card or a cell-phone, within the last couple of years, at the height of the security screening phase. I manage an important segment of a multi-million dollar business. I do NOT need a cell-phone to do it. If people are so scared of technology, why don't they just opt out?

I posted my comments on recent posts like the recent cell phone-brain tumor epidemic article where I shared my clinical findings about wireless EMF combined with underlying heavy metal toxicity in the body or what I like to call 'The Antenna Effect' (currently working on a book about this). I strongly feel that those with EHS (highly sensitive to EMF) ALL have significant levels of heavy metals in their body acting like an antenna source drawing in the EMF around them and that combo is what makes them very sick. This is what I find in my clinical practice. Here is part of my post from the previous cell phone-brain tumor article as it seems to fit:

This is a tradegy waiting to happen of course but my view is slightly different. A great deal of my work is focused on heavy metal and chemical toxicity as it relates to illness and dis-ease in the body. My clinical findings suggest that those with the highest level of metals in their body have the most difficulty with EMF (their cell, pda, microwave oven at home, and even the electronics in their car can occasionally cause rather bizarre symptoms in these patients but not always as most of the time people are completely unaware that they have metals as this truely is a silent epidemic). The metals in your body simply acts like an antenna drawing in EMF. That is why it is my mission to educate everyone to get screened for metal and chemical toxicity and God willing our healthcare system will catch on to environmental causes. It is a tradegy that we all have to tolerate the increase in unavoidable EMF from wireless emissions among other sources. The jury is out as far as what effects the radiation alone will do to our delicate brains but eliminating 'The Antenna Effect' by cleaning the metals out of the brain and nerve tissue may very well be one of the best forms of prevention within our control.

Great job Dr. Mercola bringing greater awareness and hope in regards to this very important issue!!!

The below paragraph is taken from a study of brain cancer incidence. Note that the report states a decline in brain cancer. How can this be with the rampant use of cell phones??

Conclusions: Increased risk of brain cancer is associated with being male, Caucasian, elderly, and residing in a metropolitan county. The incidence rate of brain cancer in the US is GRADUALLY DECLINING, but the rising trend of GBM (GILIOBLASTOMA MULTIFORM, a brain cancer) combined with its poor survival rate is disconcerting and needs further exploration.

All of the earth is constantly bombarded with radio waves from outer space.

I can find no empirical evidence that ties an increase in brain cancer to cell phone use.

But, this is just anecdotal, like the info presented in the article.

Here is some pretty compelling video evidence to support the issue of the danger of using cell phones. .. If you can pop popcorn with it,... imagine what it's doing to the cells in your head?:

Great and informative article!! I have wondered what biological effects cell phones actually had on the body and how they worked. :)

A note about Iphones: If the phone is put on Flight Mode, it is not transmitting or receiving. Flight mode is a very simple function on the Iphone. I keep mine on it often. Also, if you just press the power button on the Iphone, it does only put it in sleep mode, but it still receives signals. When it is completely powered down, I believe it is unlikely that it is acting as a "mini cell phone tower" since this would consume power on it. And from my experience, it seems to actually power down if i actually, properly power it down. BUT i think the issue is that most people just press the power button and put it to sleep-- thinking that its turned off. Also, the battery cant be removed from an Iphone... or at least not like most mobile phones. I think you void the warranty if you try. :)
