Just as radiation is carried from mast to phone through radio waves, the cells in our bodies do just that. There is a constant exchange of information between living cells in our body. When man-made radiation was put together, no one thought the signals produced could interfere with the bodies’ natural exchange of information. The cells in a human body are sensitive to alien energy; the energy from a mobile phone is several billion times stronger than those of the cells, which can cause the body to malfunction.
Electromagnetic radiation caused by a mobile phone call for 2-3 minutes can alter the way your body responds, reacts and functions for up to 3 hours after the call. Every particle of our body spins around its own axis like a minute merry go round. This spinning motion creates a radiation field around each particle. If some sort of unevenness is brought in to the motion, it is transformed in to an electromagnetic wave spreading in all directions like ripples on water. Each of the body's particles spins and at the same time wobbles slightly due to its magnetic field and the electromagnetism within its field. This generates a very complex pattern of radiation known as the spin generated electromagnetic field, or the spin field.
So even if a radiation signal is not strong enough to fry you're brain, it will cause damage within the body's natural defenses system. Blood cells slow down the work rate of carrying blood and oxygen round the body. The spin effect is altered and the body is left in unknown territory and finds it difficult to regroup for sometime after. The body's harmonious function is not able to operate as particles are out of synchronization with each other.
Scientist figured out that using a mobile phone for a few minutes exposes you to EMF’s which can lead to depression, headaches, mood swings, anxiety, lack of concentration, irritableness, memory loss, depleted or low energy, as well as damaging you're immune system and leaving you prone to diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's and depression.
Some disadvantages of the use of mobile phones:
- Children who are below 10 years should not use the mobile phones because they can cause brain damage if used longer than 20 minutes.
- They can be expensive
- They can be stolen if not careful
- Some people can use the phones badly and abuse others in lots of ways
- If you use the phone when driving you can cause an accident
The effect of mobile phones
http://tobefree.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/tumor_dees.jpg
Mobile Phones causes Headaches, skin tingling and heating, fatigue, neck growths, lack of concentration and memory loss, irritableness, restlessness, depletion, even tumors, cancer and cataracts have also been associated the use of analogue and digital cordless phones.
What we don’t know about these effects is that Teenagers are most affected. The researchers pointed out that 12-26 week old rats are comparable in age to human teenagers, the most frequent users of mobile phones. This level of damage to the nerve cells is worrying, as "it may result in reduced brain reserve capacity". In other words, the teenagers’ brains may age prematurely. A study by retail analysts Mantel found that up to 80% of 11 to 14 year-olds have a mobile phone in the United Kingdom. There is now evidence that a wide range of frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum can have biological effects from DNA damage in brain cells to childhood leukemia.

What you should do to avoid the effects
The thing we can do to avoid the effects of radiation to us is listed below:
- Only use for short periods at a time
- keep it in a bag or outer layer of clothing
- turn off in places like hospitals as radiation levels are normally high enough
- don't get a talk plan with lots of free minutes enticing you to use them all up,
- swap ears from time to time, put volume higher and hold further away from head,
- Attach a Diaphone to you're phone today.
- Don’t talk more than 3-5 minutes a day
- Instead of the use mobile phones use headphones or Bluetooth
- If uses of headphones don’t make the volume too loud that can cause deafness or ear infection.
- Limit the number of calls you make
- Limit the length of your calls
- Use hands free devices or hold the phone away from your body
- When speaking on your cell phone, alternate sides
- Limit your cell phone use in rural areas. More radiation is emitted when you are further from a cell phone tower.
- Go through these guidelines with your children and limit cell phone use by young children.
Other dangerous harm to our health that we should know
Clock Radios: Best kept at least 4 ft away from you're head because they give off high fields. Electro-mechanical clocks emit more than electronic digital ones. Closer than 4 ft and you may feel more tired and take longer to lose that flu or infection. Try attaching a Diaphone to it for great results.
Computers: Most modern computers give off relatively low levels of EMFs but do still try to minimize exposure by keeping the computer, especially the screen, as far away as practical. Laptops generally emit low EMFs but when used with a mains adaptor plugged in they can cause dizziness and faint spells. Try to recharge it away from where you are, and then use it from the battery supply. Place a cactus in the office or computer room. The spine of cacti attracts charged irons and can change ionization levels in the room.
- Take breaks when needed.
- Very good to attach a Diaphone on the monitor.
Under wire Bras: These can act as antennae, re-radiating external EMFs, including microwave frequencies, into the body. With breast cancer on the increase it may be better with out the under wire. Use non wire alternatives.
Photocopiers: Known to give out high levels of EMFs, generated from around the motor. The Best thing to do to avoid risk is to stand 30 inches back whilst copying in progress.
Electric kettles: Both traditional and jug type create high EMF levels. Heating water using electricity can change its molecular structure. Some people who react badly to this change may suffer from headaches, eye problems or tremors. Neutralize the effect by standing the cup/mug/glass on a Vita flow whilst pouring.
Beds: Metal framed beds and bedsprings can become magnetized by electricity in wiring and appliances, causing restlessness and insomnia. Try an alternative bed-base and unstrung mattress, preferably with natural materials. Keep electrical appliances at least 3 ft away from a bed head area.
Hairdryers: High currents produce the heat. The motor gives off high EMFs near the handle, dropping only a little at a drying distance of 6-18 inches away from you. The fields are higher when on higher settings. The fact that a hairdryer is only used for a short time at any one interval is not as important as the fact as the fact that the user is exposed to high levels of EMFs during that period. Metal hair clips can increase the EMFs from the working hairdryer. It is best not to use a hairdryer after 7pm as high levels of EMFs near to the head are known to interfere with the body's production of melatonin which helps the body to repair its self.
Arguments of those who don’t believe that mobile phones are not harmful to our health
http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/2195012/mobile-phone-masts-cleared
Some people believe that the short-term exposure to mobile phone base station radiation does not affect the health and well-being of sensitive or controlled individuals. It is important to recognize the limitations of this study. The short-term have being tested that there is only an exposure to electromagnetic fields. We are unable to draw any conclusion about long term health effects. They can’t be said whether people can be affected by other types of electromagnetic radiation
A small number of people believe that their health is affected by the radiation emitted by mobile phones and their base stations. As yet, there is no scientific evidence that their symptoms are actually caused by exposure to radiation. According to the studies found in Germany in Merlin there is no evidence that radiation from mobile phones significantly causes effects. Several studies looked at possible effects on what is known as the blood-brain barrier, a kind of filter that prevents harmful substances in the blood from reaching neurons in the brain.
Since the ailments are typically things like headaches and sleep disorders, which could have many causes, establishing a link with electromagnetic radiation is very difficult.
The studies found that some people were quicker to sense electromagnetic fields than others, and that health complaints were not necessarily connected with radiation.
And it continues to advise consumers to use mobile phones as little as possible, to buy low-radiation models, and to make sure that conditions for reception are good.
Many top doctors and leading scientists now agree that even just a few minutes exposure to EMF's can lead to all of which is integrated into our modern day life in our mobile phones, televisions, radios, microwaves, alarm clocks and even under wire bras or metal framed beds could be to blame.
Arguments for mobile using;
I think mobiles have advantages
- You can text messages to you friends and family
- You can play music and games
- You can take pictures of places
- You can save messages and images such as videos and photos in your mobile phone
- If a person has an important problem such as an emergency or lateness they can quickly assess the network of those they are trying to reach
Scientific research about mobile phones
Research published in the journal Occupational Environmental Medicine concluded that using a mobile for more than a decade increased the risk of brain cancer.
It concluded that people who had used a mobile phone for 10 years or more were twice as likely to develop a malignant tumor on the side of the brain where they hold the handset.
The study, led by Swedish scientists Professor Lennart Hardell of the University Hospital in Orebro and Professor Kjell Hansson Mild of Umea University, said using a mobile for just an hour every working day was enough to increase the risk.
Power watch cited three other studies by Prof Hardell, who called for caution over the use of mobile phones.
It also referred to a study in Israel which identified a link between mobile phone usages and tumors in the salivary gland.
Retired Swedish electrical engineer Orjan Hallberg, who has written several papers on mobile phones, said: "Electromagnetic radiation is affecting the immune system and this makes it easier for cancer cells to continue to develop.
"I think it will become really serious as more of us are already finding relatives and friends who have been struck by brain cancer.
"I hope those who say yet more research needs to be done will explain why at the conference."
Mr. Philips said the Government should take the report seriously and take action.
"We strongly recommend that the Government actively discourage use by children, including making public advice leaflets readily available in NHS waiting rooms across the country.
"Research into monitoring health effects around mobile phone base stations is now urgently overdue and the Government should allocate funding for this for the protection of the general public."
The current Health Protection Agency guidelines say there is no hard evidence that public health is being adversely affected by mobile phones, but added "uncertainties remain and a continued precautionary approach to their use is recommended until the situation is further clarified".
The Radiation Research Trust has also called for a precautionary approach to be adopted until further research was carried out.
Mr. Philips said Power watch’s report brought together the results of more than 100 research papers looking at the health risk of mobile phones, including sleep and neurological effects, as well as fertility and cell damage.
But Professor Patricia McKinney, epidemiologist at the University of Leeds, said the data was misleading.
"The report pulls together and interprets a highly selected sample of the published literature on the topic of the risks of mobile phone use.
"A major UK study is misquoted as finding a statistically significant risk of brain tumors associated with heavy use of mobile phones which it definitely did not.
"This biased appraisal of the science should be viewed cautiously by the general public."
Professor Mike Repacholi, co-coordinator of the WHO electromagnetic fields project 1996-2006, said there was no scientific basis to a link between "electromagnetic hypersensitivity" - where symptoms include burning sensation on the skin and fatigue – and exposure to EMF.
"These issues have been dealt with in depth by whom and fact sheets were issued for the factual information of everyone," he said.
"The information in these fact sheets is current and no research has been published to alter the conclusions in the WHO fact sheets."
Conclusion
In my conclusion I concluded that mobile phones are a huge risk to our health and if we don’t do something about it, it could be dangerous for us for the next 10 years.
At the end I came to A conclusion that scientific evidence proved that mobile phones where dangerous to our health and also I got more arguments for the risk and I found out that it wasn’t a lot of people that knew the effect that mobile phones had to their health BUT most people know the knew that mobile phones are a risk to their health but they didn’t know what the risk where and also they know that the use of mobile phones too much and much more frequently can affect them.
But in a lot of ways, mobile phones which we consider too be a risk to our health helps us in different purposes.
However we need to be careful when using our mobile phones because they can be dangerous to young kid and US as well.
Mobile phones used with out caution may be harmful for example
- The use of mobile phones in the air plane, might cause a crash
- The use of mobile phones while driving, might cause an accident
- The use of mobile phone while using water might make the mobile destroy.
- Leaving your mobile phones among kids might make you loose your phone.
- Leaving your mobile without monitoring it might cause theft.
Scientist recognizes the risk of mobile phones. And the solution can never be to stop the use of mobile phones but they found out that they can minimize the effect it has:-
- Limit the number of calls you make
- Limit the length of your calls
- Use hands free devices or hold the phone away from your body
- When speaking on your cell phone, alternate sides
- Limit your cell phone use in rural areas. More radiation is emitted when you are further from a cell phone tower.
- Go through these guidelines with your children and limit cell phone use by young children.
However, a growing number of studies suggested that there is a different effect which can be classified as tumours may be more common on the side of the head that is used for phone calls, especially for individuals using cell phones for more than 10 years. However, a growing number of studies suggest.
Mobile phone is an every day activity and can’t be easily stopped even people know that its harmful to their health the best thing is to avoid the risk of radiation. It has been the world’s most popular and pervasive mobile electronic product As a result, more and more of us, people are now capable of performing multiple jobs and staying connected with our friends, business partners, and families.
