Cancer doc urges cell phone precaution

 I have no doubt that, if we haven’t destroyed ourselves through the destruction of envionment in the next decade, mobile phone companies and telcos will end up following the same path as the big tobacco companies as the excessive exposure to mobile phone and other wireless signals causes widespread cancer and other illnesses. From the article :

Dr. Ronald B. Herberman, director of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute. He sent it to faculty and staff Wednesday, saying, among other things, that children should use cell phones only for emergencies, since their developing organs are the most likely to be sensitive to possible effects of exposure to electromagnetic fields.

In his 10-point advisory, Herberman also urges adults to keep phones away from their heads and use speakerphones or wireless headsets.

He suggests that people try to avoid constantly carrying their cell phones on their bodies and also try not to keep the devices nearby at night under the pillow or on a nightstand. He even warns against using cell phones in public places like buses because it exposes others to the phone’s electromagnetic fields.
