Can’t agree with you more! Just heard reviews on the news about cellular phone safety and children and the report was that children who used cell phones were at risk for cancer. I can’t recall the study that was done but as parents, we have to control the cell phone usage of our children.

There are several tests that can be done to show that cell phone radiation exposure causes adverse biological effects. You can see some of them here:

The question is how many repeated exposures does one have to endure before these effects translate into a visible and deadly disease. Just because one doesn’t develop brain cancer doesn’t mean that the cell phone radiation is not affecting him or her in some way. There are many people who suffer headaches, nausea, rash and other symptoms when exposed to microwave/radio frequencies.

And, yes, children are more susceptible because their developing skulls are penetrated more deeply. Their central nervous sytem, immune sytem, and critical organs have not developed and matured sufficiently to withstand environmental toxins for long.

Cell phones should be used by children only when they have some emergency and want to contact their parents or so. Other uses children should understand are of no value but associated with adverse effects in particular if used for a long time in one go.

Different studies conducted on this subject has come out with contradicting reports but the ultimate message which convinces our thinking is–Mobiles are harmful. Its radiation does affect the brain. We are getting addicted to its usage since we find it very convenient. But we must discourage our children to use mobiles.

The after-effects are very mild so it may reflect after 10years. Do we need to suffer from its ill effects and then look for alternatives? Probably no body wishes to realize its deadly effects.

In any case, it is advisable to use mobiles only when we cannot lay our hands on land lines.

Please see the about YouTube where Dr. Devra Davis provides a window into theconcerns of cell phones and cancer.

The environment of today is the proverbial mirror for human health. Our role is charged with reducing the unnecessary and preventable exposures that have taken on the everyday landscape in our own lives those known to cause cancer and those we suspect to have caused cancer.

As Dr. Ronald Herberman pointed out in the most recent (first one in 15 years) congressional hearing, in the U.S. today, more than 9 out of every 10 adults use a cell phone,
a number that has doubled in just the last five years. Worldwide, there are three billion regular cell phone users, many of whom are children. It is important to stress that children are
not little adults. They are often much more vulnerable to the effects of environmental exposures. For cell phones, this matters, because the skull of children is much less dense than the skull of adults and modeling
research has shown that cell phone RF signals are absorbed much deeper into the brains of children.
