the,’ interphone study,’ that was released a couple of years ago had many flaws!! A Heavy cell phone user is someone using a cell phone for 30 minutes per day. This is ludicris!!! Many of the brain cancer participants either became too ill to continue this study or died!! Cordless phones were not included, but just as dangerous as a cell phone!!! YET, this study still showed a significant increase for brain tumor development!! DO YOUR HOME WORK!! THE WHO- WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION CLASSIFIES NON-IONIZING RADIATION AS A CLASS 2B CARCINOGEN!! THIS CLASSIFICATION WAS VERY CLOSE TO BEING A CLASS 2A CARCINOGEN. IT ISN’T A MATTER OF IF, BUT WHEN THIS WILL OCCUR!! THIS IS A 4 TRILLION DOLLAR BUSINESS WITH MANY TENTICLES JUST LIKE THE CANCER ITSELF!! MANY STUDIES WITH THESE DANGERS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT AND SOLD!! WAKE-UP!!!

IF CELL PHONES DON’T CAUSE BRAIN CANCER, THEN WHY, HAS ISREAL JUST ANNOUNCED THAT THEY ARE WARNING CONSUMERS ABOUT THESE DEVICES!!! READ YOUR CELL PHONE MANUALS, THEY SAY,’ NOT,’ TO PUT THESE DEVICES NEAR YOUR HEADS AND BODIES!! BLACKBERRY TORCH: KEEP .98 INCHES FROM YOUR HEADS AND BODIES AND FOR PREGNANT WOMEN AND TEENAGERS TO AVOID PUTTING NEAR THEIR LOWER ABDOMINS! PLEASE WATCH: T-MOBILE, VERIZON, SPRINT AND AT&T CELL PHONE COMMERCIALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY NO LONGER SHOW CELL PHONES TO THE HEADS OR BODIES!!! WHOEVER WRITES THAT CELL PHONES ARE SAFE, LOOK INTO THEIR FUNDING!! FOLLOW THE MONEY!!! CELL PHONES, CELL TOWERS, WIFI, SMART OR AMI METERING BEING DEPLOYED ON OUR HOMES AND BUSINESSES ARE ALL NON-IONIZING RADIATION. NON-IONIZING RADIATION IS A CLASS 2B CARCINOGEN BY THE WHO OR WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZTION!!!! THIS CLASSIFICATION WAS VERY CLOSE TO BEING A CLASS 2A CARCINOGEN!! I LOST A SON FORM GBM BRAIN CANCER AND NOT ONLY DID OUR NEUROSURGEON TELL US IT WAS HIS CELL PHONE, MY SON’S STORY WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN THE WHO WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS CLASSIFICATION OF 2B.

CELL PHONES, WIFI, CELL TOWERS, AND SMART METERS CAN ALL CAUSE CANCER! READ YOUR CELL PHONE MANUALS. THE NEW,’ BLACKBERRY TORCH,’ SAYS TO KEEP .98 INCHES FROM YOUR HEADS AND FOR TEENAGERS AND PREGNANT WOMEN TO AVOID PUTTING THESE NEAR THEIR LOWER ABDOMENS. THE,’ INTERPHONE,’ STUDY RELEASED IN MAY 2010 HAD MANY FLAWS! A REGULAR CELL PHONE USER WAS SOMEONE WHO USED A CELL PHONE 30 MINUTES PER DAY, 1 HOUR PER WEEK AND 1 HOUR PER MONTH! CANADA’S PORTION OF THIS STUDY WAS 100% PAID FOR BY THE TELECOM INDUSTRY. MANY OF THE PARTICIPANTS EITHER BECAME TOO ILL OR EVEN DIED! GBM BRAIN CANCER HAS SURVIVAL WITHIN MONTHS, USUALLY 6-9 MONTHS! THE INTERPHONE STUDY STILL SHOWS A 40% RISK INCREASE FOR BRAIN TUMOR DEVELOPMENT WITHIN 10 YEARS OF A REGULAR CELL PHONE USER! FOR SOMEONE TO PUT THIS AS A TITLE, IS IRRESPONSIBLE! WHOEVER THIS GUY IS ON THIS VIDEO ( TRUST ME ), HAS BEEN PAID OFF BY THE TELECOM INDUSTRY. READ THE,” SELETUN STATEMENT,” AND JUST LAST WEEK THE WHO, WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION RATED CELL PHONES AS A CLASS 2B CARCINOGEN! DDT IS A CLASS 2 CARCINOGEN! I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THIS IS HUGE, BECAUSE THE WHO IS VERY CAUTIOUS. THIS WAS AN,’ ACROSS THE BOARD CONSENSUS! CELL PHONES WERE NEVER PRE-MARKET TESTED! IF YOU KEEP USING YOUR PHONE, I WARNED YOU! I HAVE A PERSONAL STORY ABOUT THIS AND I’M TRYING TO SAVE AS MANY LIVES AS POSSIBLE.

If cell phones don’t cause brain tumors, then why does every cell phone manual tell you not to put these to your heads. The new,” Blackberry Torch,” manual says to keep .98 inches from your heads and teenagers and pregnant women to avoid putting these near their lower abdomens. Industry Studies always show an insignificant danger while Independent Scientific Studies approximately show a 75% danger. Always look up who did the study, and who they were paid by! The telecom industry has many tenticles just like brain cancer itself. Don’t be foolish, and rely on a 4 Trillion dollar industry! The American Cancer Society takes many querks from the telecom industry. They don’t want to cure cancer, of course not! This will be,” Big Tobacco,” all over again. Please do your research into these reports! The Interphone Study had many flaws. One of which many of the participants either became too ill or died to finish this study. A regular cell phone user was someone using a cell phone for 30 minutes a day or 1 hour per month! STILL it shows that with > 10 years of cell phone use there is a 40% risk increase for Glioma development. This cancer is called the,” Terminator,” and survival is within the months category! GET INFORMED!!!

LISTEN TOO ME,” CELL PHONES CAUSE BRAIN CANCER.” I’ve had the luxury of having some of the world’s most experts in this field!!! Cell Phones, Wi-fi, and Cell Towers are ALL dangerous! The reason no one believes this is because our Institutions such as the,’ American Cancer Society,’ is in bed with industry. The American Cancer Society has taken money from the Telecom Industry fpr lavish golf-tournaments! Once again, it is the tobacco to lung cancer issue All over again! Everyone knows that there is a link between cigarettes and development of lung cancer. Although no biological studies have positively proven it! The same for Cell Phones!!! Not only are cell phones dangerous, anytime someone use these devices, they are contributing to our Environment in a nagative way! You know, cell phones don’t work by magic!! The Cell Tower poliforation in this country is horrendous! We are disrupting the migration of birds, and the bee population is disappearing! Also, like I wrote before, there was another brain cancer death on the SDSU campus in San Diego. A Woman died August 29th, 2010. 4 people in 2 years who were all in the same area. This cell tower is disguised under, ” SPRINT.” These towers go by, TETRA, GWEN, HAARP. and HPWREN! They are used for Homeland Security. They are disguised under the NSF, or National Science Foundation. These towers are on several campuses throught the U.S.. How many people will die before the nay sayers catch on? There are Neurosurgeons across the U.S., that are coming out about cell phones and brain cancer. Dr. Keith Black, Dr. Tantuwaya from Poway, Dr. Santosh Kesari from Moores UCSD cancer center, etc.!! The other reason that they get away with it is that many of the studies are paid for by the Industry. Any study done by scientists who don’t work for the industry, have all found damage to brain cells. Like I said,” Does Non-Ionizing Radiation damage living tissues or cells.” There is the answer!!!!

@80- THANK YOU! I was going to explain to Dave that microwave ovens do not use microwaves to cook the food, but that the microwaves excite the WATER which cooks the food.

@85- Again, thanks for a very nice discussion over different ways that radiation affects tissues.

@113- Allergens are an understood process and should not be compared to EM reactions in the body. Those are apples and oranges. Also, while it may be documented that some people have reactions to different EM frequencies, that doesn’t mean it causes cancer.

@116-Wow. I think Gus clearly understood the differences between non-ionizing and ionizing radiation, but was discussing the risk analysis that we all go through. You didn’t need to be so rude.

@121- Please, send out your sources? And as I tell my 6 year old, yelling (or writing in all capital letters) does not make your argument right.
Of course cell phone manuals put in over restrictive suggestions. That is called Covering your ass for future lawsuits.

Phil- Sorry, but I disagree with #7 . It really should be:

The are no studies which support a causal relationship between cell phone radiation and brain tissue damage.

Check you cell phone manuals !!!!! They already tell you NOT to put these devices near your heads!!!! The new,” Blackberry Torch,” manual says to keep at LEAST .98 inches from your heads and for Pregnant Woman and Teenagers to AVOID putting these devices near you lower abdomens!!! Not only do cell phones cause BRAIN cancer, they are the culprit in many many CANCERS!!!! Look up,” Does Non-Ionizing Radiation Damage Living Cells or Tissue,” and there is your answer!!! Cell Phones, Wi-Fi, and Cell Towers are ALL VERY DANGEROUS!! Follow the MONEY!!!! If someone says that these are safe, see who they are being paid by!!! Every Scientific Study that is NOT conducted by Industry Shows a direct correlation between cell phones and brain cancer!!! Wise – UP!

Pork Belly Futures (103) said:

This should lend itself to a fairly straightforward natural experiment. Given that 2 billion people in the world use cell phones, and different countries adopted cellular technology at different times and at different rates, we should be able to correlate cell phone usage to changes in any number of health conditions.

Unfortunately, no.

Many other lifestyle changes could equally correlate with initiating cellphone use. If your study shows up a correlation, it only suggests that one or more of the lifestyle changes links to the condition. It doesn’t necessarily mean that cellphone use causes the condition.

@ 118

Yes, exclamation points are FAR more impressive than linking to actual studies.

Why the warnings? Did you know coffee cups from stores come with warnings that the contents are hot? Evidently, some people are too stupid – and prone to using law suits – so the companies give fair warning. Whether there is actual danger in their products or not.

If non-ionizing radiation from cell phones isn’t dangerous then look it up!!! If you type in,” Does Non-ionizing radiation damage living cells or tissue,” this answers it! SDSU in San Diego has a brain cancer cluster. Type in,” SDSU Brain Cancer Cluster,” and you can see many links! There is a Cell Tower on the campus where all of these cancers have occurred! A Woman just died August 29th, 2010 on top of the ones mentioned in these articles! There is a cell tower outside of this building that is mentioned as a,’ Sprint,’ Tower. It is really a HPWREN, ( High Performance Wireless Research and Educational Network ), a Backbone Node to the UCSD campus! It is also a Tetra Tower for Homeland Security and HAARP. These towers are on many school properties across the U.S. EMF’s are extremely DANGEROUS! If anyone tell you differently I would look into their back ground to see if Industry sways their opinions! The New,’ Blackberry Torch,’ manual says to keep .98 inches from your head and for Pregnant Woman and Teenagers to avoid putting these devices near their lower abdomens!!!! If Cell Phones are SO SAFE, why the warnings? Just look at your cell phone manual! They ALL tell you to keep these away from your heads!!!

Rick, you miss the point entirely. I could just as well have mentioned eating grilled meat or smoking cigarettes. People take risks with known carcinogens all the time, deciding for whatever reason that the benefits outweigh the risks. Cell phones, if there is any risk, are far less risky. If they were as dangerous as the things noted above, the link would have been easily proven by now. Exactly how each of these things cause cancer matters not a whit, what we know is that we can do studies that immediately reveal just how dangerous these risks are because the effects are so strong that they are readily seen. It makes no sense to stop using a cell phone because inconclusive studies suggest it might cause cancer and then go lay out in the sun and smoke a cigarette while you grill up some steak for dinner.

Gus Snarp: stupid nonsense, sorry. Tanning is by ionizing radiation, cell phones have non ionizing radiation, and different biological processes are sensitive to these to different extents. Open a book and document yourself before writing nonsense. Obviously you are ignorant, sorry.

Jake: “If my phone is not even in the house, my leg will twitch.” – And you’re still attributing this to the phone that’s not even in your pocket?

The real question is, how are the tans of the people who are worried about cell phones? Do they always wear long sleeves, pants, and broad-brimmed hats that block UV radiation when they go outside? Because UV radiation causes cancer, definitively, powerfully, and if cell phones were half as harmful we’d see an effect in every study without difficulty. So before you throw out your cell phone you should avoid the sun, and certainly not tan intentionally. If you aren’t as pale as your natural coloring will allow, you’re harming yourself more than a cell phone does already.

Jake: it makes perfect sense, thanks for sharing, and lots of people are describing the same.
It is important to realize that the body is, in fact, an electromagnetic system, and it responds to electromagnetic impulses. The other important thing is that there is something called inter-individual variability, which the authors of the above study conveniently does not mention, because he has serious gaps in knowledge as far as biology is concerned. But people respond differently to the same environmental exposure. This is why I am able to eat peanuts others are not, this is why some people unfortunately die from penicillin or a wasp sting, this is why some feel the twitch. Some people, a certain percentage in the population, react to radio frequency radiation, this has been documented in many countries, and there is only a bunch of ignorant people who call themselves “skeptics”, who do not believe it.

One thing that I find peculiar is the phantom leg twitch. I have done a little experimenting myself and found a few things about it (can’t find anything good about it on the internet).

1)I used to always have my phone on silent at work, and that is when this started. My leg twitches when it is ringing.
2)It also twitches when the phone decides to check in with the nearest tower. This is what I think most people are dealing with when they have “phantom vibration syndrome.” Because a cellphone will sometimes check in with a nearby tower.
3)The strangest part (which I read other anecdotes about as well) is that sometimes your leg will do it without the phone being in the pocket. If my phone is not even in the house, my leg will twitch. If my phone is nearby I will definitely get a twitch.

I doubt that this causes cancer as well but I certainly think it is strange. The strangest part to me is that this never used to happen, but the more I have my phone in the pocket the more often I get the twitch. It’s as if my leg slowly acclimates to the twitch.

One final thing I want to point out for any neasayers, For the time that I had to have my phone on silent at work, I actually *relied* on my leg twitch to know if I was getting a call. So I can guarantee that this isn’t some psychological thing.

For 107: James, yes, for many chemicals it is known how they cause carcinogens. For others, it is clear they care carcinogens but the mechanisms are not known yet. The mechanism does NOT need to be known, for something to be recognized as harmful. Some chemicals cause cancer by breaking DNA. However, breaking the DNA is not needed to create cancer, and it is known, by now, that some chemicals introduce other changes, such as cytosine (one of the 4 bases in DNA) methylation or protein acetylation, which are modifications that do NOT break DNA but induce serious biological modifications that lead to cancer. These are collectively known as “epigenetic” changes, and were shown to by involved in the carcinogenesis caused by benzene, smoke, asbestos, and nickel, among other chemicals. Those ignorant people who still argue that no carcinogenesis is possible without breaking the DNA, are just plain uninformed creatures, because the biomedical literature has 10,000 articles on the topic and a few impressive textbooks.

Amazing how the guy in part 4 didn’t care to understand the talk and just wanted to push his favorite website which sells “radiation protection”…

@107 Sure, well not in extreme detail but some carcinogens directly alter the DNA, others don’t, but the scientific literature is quite settled as far as I know.
