Cell phone health dangers
BACKGROUND: Cell phones are everywhere. It is estimated that more than 90 percent of the Western world uses cell phones. Some recent estimates show that more than 3 billion people have cell phones worldwide. As the technology becomes cheaper and more accessible, its usage will likely increase among adults and children. While the device is undoubtedly convenient, several new studies show that cell phones may be harmful.
CANCER LINK? A recent study published in the Journal of Epidemiology found heavy cell phone users were subject to a higher risk of benign and malignant tumors of the salivary gland. Those who used a cell phone heavily on the side of the head where the tumor developed were found to have an increased risk of about 50 percent for developing a tumor of the main salivary gland compared to those who did not use cell phones.
FERTILITY PROBLEMS: A study conducted by researchers at the Cleveland Clinic found cell phone use may be linked to infertility problems. Men who used their cell phones for more than four hours per day had the lowest quality of sperm.
SKIN ISSUES: Nickel allergy is common, and people who are allergic to nickel may get a rash on their cheek or ear if they spend a lot of time talking on a cell phone containing nickel. They might also get a rash on their fingers if they send lots of text messages, according to the British Association of Dermatologists. Not all cell phones contain nickel. Recently, researchers at Brown University tested 22 wireless communication devices and found 10 of them contained nickel.
AFFECTING SLEEP: Researchers at Loughborough University in England found that after a 30-minute exposure to cell phone signals in talk mode, people took nearly twice as long to fall asleep as they did when the phone had been off or in standby mode. The scientists believe the effect probably reflects the time it takes the brain to relax after being agitated by the phone's electrical field.
LIMITING USAGE: Experts from the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute suggest limiting cell phone exposure. Some of their tips include not allowing children to use a cell phone, except for emergencies. The developing organs of a fetus or child are the most likely to be sensitive to any possible effects of exposure to electromagnetic fields. They also suggest keeping your cell phone away from your body as much as possible, avoiding using your cell phones in places like on a bus where you can passively expose others to your phone's electromagnetic field and switching sides regularly while communicating on your cell phone to spread out your exposure.

cell phones

Hearing aid disruption is the least of our problems.
Our government intelligence agencies are using the cell phone network as well as other signal transmitters to experiment on and tap into people brains and nervous systems, disrupting their thinking and/or read their minds REMOTELY. They can turn your life upside down and to date there's not a damn thing most people can do about it. Dennis Kucinich tried to pass a bill in 200,1H.R. 2977 "The Space Preservation Act of 2001" to among other things, (B) Such terms include exotic weapons systems such as--
(i) electronic, psychotronic, or information weapons;
(ii) chemtrails;
(iii) high altitude ultra low frequency weapons systems;
(iv) plasma, electromagnetic, sonic, or ultrasonic weapons, etc...
Don't believe it, google, electron mind control, "Robert Duncan", mind control, HAARP, Nich Begich.
Wake up as many people as possible to this extremely dangerous technology. God or aliens help us.
Cell phones cause hearing aid interference

I do not own a cell phone, but I am harmed by other people's cell phones. If I get within several feet of someone who is carrying a cell phone, my hearing aid will start buzzing and sounds are so distorted, that I can't understand anything that is said to me. This means that I can not go out in public, because so many people are carrying cell phones that I can not avoid them. This also applies to cell towers and Wi-Fi hotspots. Even cordless digital phones cause hearing aid interference, so I use analog corded phones in my home. I can't even go to a doctors office and understand anything that is said, because of the infernal cell phones that are everywhere. This problem has been known for many years by the FCC, hearing aid and cell phone manufacturers, yet nothing has been done about it, and it looks like nothing ever will. So people who wear hearing aids that are useless around these devices that cause hearing aid interference are SOL. I guess the Americans With Disabilities Act doesn't apply to us. We are on our own, with no help in sight. Prisoners in our own homes. I have talked to other hearing aid users, who have the same problems I do, with other people's cell phones interfering with their aids. Sad state of affairs, to say the least.
