When it became apparent that the cell phone industry had added their
PR money to the chemical / silicone / vaccinations / aspartame
communal pots ... and ACSH.org and junkscience.com began defending and
covering up the true science coming out ... I realized that the danger
was probably very, very real.

I have watched the same defenders of vaccinations defend cell phones/

May God protect those of us warning of the dangers of cell phones from
the industry PR teams named above.

Mobile phones could kill far more people than smoking or asbestos, a
study by an award-winning cancer expert has concluded. He says people
should avoid using them wherever possible and that governments and the
mobile phone industry must take "immediate steps" to reduce exposure
to their radiation.
The study, by Dr Vini Khurana, is the most devastating indictment yet
published of the health risks.
It draws on growing evidence – exclusively re****ted in the IoS in
October – that using handsets for 10 years or more can double the risk
of brain cancer. Cancers take at least a decade to develop,
invalidating official safety assurances based on earlier studies which
included few, if any, people who had used the phones for that long.
Earlier this year, the French government warned against the use of
mobile phones, especially by children. Germany also advises its people
to minimise handset use, and the European Environment Agency has
called for exposures to be reduced.
Professor Khurana – a top neurosurgeon who has received 14 awards over
the past 16 years, has published more than three dozen scientific
papers – reviewed more than 100 studies on the effects of mobile
phones. He has put the results on a brain surgery website, and a paper
based on the research is currently being peer-reviewed for publication
in a scientific journal.
He admits that mobiles can save lives in emergencies, but concludes
that "there is a significant and increasing body of evidence for a
link between mobile phone usage and certain brain tumours". He
believes this will be "definitively proven" in the next decade.
Noting that malignant brain tumours represent "a life-ending
diagnosis", he adds: "We are currently experiencing a reactively
unchecked and dangerous situation." He fears that "unless the industry
and governments take immediate and decisive steps", the incidence of
malignant brain tumours and associated death rate will be observed to
rise globally within a decade from now, by which time it may be far
too late to intervene medically.
"It is anticipated that this danger has far broader public health
ramifications than asbestos and smoking," says Professor Khurana, who
told the IoS his *****sment is partly based on the fact that three
billion people now use the phones worldwide, three times as many as
smoke. Smoking kills some five million worldwide each year, and
exposure to asbestos is responsible for as many deaths in Britain as
road accidents.
Late last week, the Mobile Operators Association dismissed Khurana's
study as "a selective discussion of scientific literature by one
individual". It believes he "does not present a balanced analysis" of
the published science, and "reaches opposite conclusions to the WHO
and more than 30 other independent expert scientific reviews".
