Several years ago when I first started using a cellphone I rarely made calls and when I did they would typically only last a minute or two. When I made my first long cellphone call, about 30 minutes into it my nose just started unexplicably running -- clear fluid just poured out. This really surprised me because it was summer time, I didn't have a cold and don't have any allergies. It only happened the one time. I don't know if it was fluke or my body adjusted because I was able to make other long calls later without any noticeable symptoms. I have always been extra sensitive to chemicals and strong spices, but then I seem to quickly adjust and no longer have a problem. I had a severe reaction the first time I took a pain relief medicine containing a small amount of codeine after having my wisdom teeth removed. I woke up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat from a horrible nightmare ... the first time in my life! But I have been able to take this and other medicines containing codeine since without incident. The first time I drank a double shot of wheatgrass, I got very sick and vomited within 20 minutes. But I've been able to consume single shots without any problem since ... I still won't risk trying a double as the memory of heaving my guts out is still too fresh.

I agree with Healthcoach1: I'm glad that Dr. Mercola replied at all, and with the info we could use.

I can comment from experience. I worked intensely on an election campaign for two months, working in a small room with a great deal of ambient noise and holding the phone very close to my left ear to be able to talk and listen, for at least 18 hours a day on average, and since then, my ear hurts. Seven months later it still hurts. The pain goes away if I do not use my cell phone. If I happen to answer it and hold it for not more than one minute, my ear begins to hurt again. The pain is constant although it eventually goes away. After doing research I found many online discussion groups about similar situations with Nokia phones.

I am presently trying very hard not to use my cell phone, I have a voice message that tells people I will call them back as soon as I get to a landline, or if they can text message since this is safer. I try to use the loudspeaker if I absolutely have to talk to someone and I am going to replace the phone with a more expensive one if I can find one that has been researched to emit the least amount of radiation. Really, I hope to get to a point where I do not use one at all, except have it in the glove compartment for emergencies.

I'm wondering if anyone would know if similar reactions could occur with use of digital hearing aids and wireless FM systems? With all this concern about use of cell phones, I've been doing some research on possible dangerous use of wireless FM systems. I'm especially concerned for children who use them in schools. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Is anyone out their using Biopro products? If so what do you think? They say that their cell phone chips help to protect us from the cell phone radiation. Thanks for your input!!!

A few years ago my kids gave me a cell phone for Christmas,...I'm in my 70s, and they wanted me to have it when I am out somewhere. But I had this strange reaction to it: I would often go into tears just holding it, whether it was turned on or not! It puzzled me no end, So I seldom carried it or used it; finally gave it away. Was that the phone itself doing that to me, or what?! Does anyone else have that reaction?

I barely ever use my cell phone. When I do, I get an instant sharp headache.

I also get a headache (PLEASE DONT LAUGH!) whenever I go to WalMart. Is that a snicker I hear?? I am totally serious. WalMart must be filled with radio waves, mercury , lead and whatever else gives one headaches. I know, nutty, but I dont get headaches from Target!

THERE IS A REAL TRUTH HERE. IT WSA WELL NOTED EVEN IN THE 70'S BY GVMNT OFFICIALS ABOUT THE MICROWAVE OVERLOAD IN OUR ENVIRONMENT, MANY STUDIES WERE DONE AND MANY CONCLUIONS DRAWN. I BELIEVE ONE WAS THAT MICROWAVES DISTORTED EVEN THE FLYING PATTERNS OF THE HONEY BEE...THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT THE EVER INCREASING MICROEWAVE TRANS TOWERS POPPING UP, NOW IT IS CELLPH TOWERS.

IT WAS ALSO DISCUSSED AS TO HOW PERSONS THAT LIVED NEAR THE HIGH TENSION ELECT.GENERATING TOWERS HAD A HIGHER CASE OF VARIOUS CANCERS.

A FINAL NOTE....A GROUP OF STUDENTS TOOK FLOURESCENT LIGHT TUBES AND STUCK ONE END IN THE SOIL (GROUNDING THEM) AND LET THE OTHER ENDS POINT UP. UNDER NEATH THE TOWERS. THE FLOURESCENT TUBES "GLOWED"....

MY EX/SPRINT PHONE BATTERY WOULD GET VERY HOT AFTER 60-90 SECONDS OF OPS. I ASKED SPRINT ABOUT IT, FELT LIKE HOLDING A LIGHTBULB. " IT IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT." I CHANGED PHONES AND IT DID THE SAME...TOSSED THE WHOLE MESS. FEARED THE BAT. WOULD EXPLODE....

WHAT YOU DONT KNOW "CAN AND IN MANY CASES WILL HURT YOU".

SOOOOOOOO?

THANKS FOR THIS..WENDELL ,

Hi All...thanks for all the informaition. So let me get this straight...are regular cordless phones dangerous the way cell phones are.

And wireless routers for computers are too?

Thanks in advance for any clarity on this.

I actually had brain cancer about six years ago, unrelated to cell phones as I did not own one then. But I found whenever I went to use a cell phone, it gave me awful headaches. So I dumped it. Now I own a TracFone that sits in my glove compartment. I think I've used 25 minutes in the last two years. It is a pay as you go plan and I gave myself 60 minutes and paid for more time, so I have those minutes until June. 30 dollars for a safeguard instead of nothing is worth it. I would hate to be in a serious accident and have to ask to use someone's cell phone to call my family. But limiting the use to emergencies only is key.

After going through a terrible sleep disorder for the past few years, I now find that I have to use an earpiece when talking on my cell phone. Within seconds of having a cell phone next to my ear I get an immediate tightening feeling in the back of my head, along with an increased feeling of being "on edge" or slightly anxious.

Luckily the wired earbud that came with the phone works great - I can talk for hours without this happening. Interestingly, this didn't occur with my old cell phone that had a very simple text screen display on it. The fancy color screen on modern cell phones seems like it could be the root of my problem. My family has a history of seizure disorders, and I know I have a low seizure threshold, but my two other family members (who are both on anxiety/seizure medication - I'm not) don't seem to have a problem with their cells like I do.

Anyway, guess this might be a blessing in disguise because I'm forced to use the earbud and practice "safe cell".
