The radiation from these things is minimal. It cant get through the skull unless its made of wood (sic). 3/1000 of a watt is really next to nothing..  Does anyone know about the inverse square law about radiation? No? Look it up. The real danger is yakking while driving. Abusing a good thing leads to dire consequences.

HUM.. It is 3/10ths of a watt of 1.9 gigahertz to be exact or 300 milliwatts. Any radio is dangerous. I am a ham radio operator and had to learn about RF. If you bothered to read your owners manual with the cell phone that you own, you will see not to use it for no more than 5 minutes per day, not hours. You are heating up the tissue in your brain.. You are cooking it like a microwave oven does to meat. You WILL get cancer someday from cell phone usage. It is a GIVEN.. The rise of brain cancer is higher than ever, geez, wonder why? Let the CELL PHONE COMPANIES say they are safe, they are not. Why do independent testing companies that do RF or radiation testing with cell phones always come back with a BIG warning how dangerous they are? Those results seem to always disappear when the manufactures take the results to hush the dangers of using them or they threaten to sue them if the results leak out. It would put big hurting on the multi-billion dollar business, the cell phone manufactures and also the cell phone service providers. OPEN YOUR EYES, RF is dangerous.. Do your own research, don't rely on false reports or lies that people tell.. They are NOT safe in anyway.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[David S.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 12th 2009 11:04AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Mobile Devices Pose Surprising Health Risks]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/03/11/mobile-devices-pose-surprising-health-risks/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/03/11/mobile-devices-pose-surprising-health-risks/</guid><description><![CDATA[Great comments Paul.<br>Nice to hear some balanced, pithy, comments.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bill H]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 12th 2009 5:17PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Mobile Devices Pose Surprising Health Risks]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/03/11/mobile-devices-pose-surprising-health-risks/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/03/11/mobile-devices-pose-surprising-health-risks/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yea, next thing they'll be screaming is that all the people who are buying 42 and 50+ inch (or bigger) TV's are all going to be zombies because of the energies these things exert while in use. These same 'chicken little' the cell phones are melting your brain tissues are probably sitting 4 feet away from a 60 inch plasma flat screen 8 hours a day while the other 8 hours they've sat  1 foot away from their computer monitor.  Give it a rest worry warts, nobody gets out of life 'alive' anyways. Might as well enjoy things while you can, our new 'anointed one', Mr. O, already has us set up to spend to get us to us to 2010 $10 trillion dollars (not including interesting). What's 10 trillion? That's something like 10,000 BILLION. I think that much money has been caculated to weigh the same as 103 Nimitz size aircraft carriers. 103 carriers x 177,000 tons each = 18million,231,thousand TONS of money OBAMA has scheduled to spend in 1 year. And this doesn't count the 1.7 trillion he's already spent in the infamous 'stimulous' package nor the Billions in bailouts he's already given to AIG, etc. "Hey Barack, My current Benz is out of gas, can you buy me a new one?"   ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Woody]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 14th 2009 2:37AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Mobile Devices Pose Surprising Health Risks]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/03/11/mobile-devices-pose-surprising-health-risks/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/03/11/mobile-devices-pose-surprising-health-risks/</guid><description><![CDATA[Cell phones DO irridiate the brain and cause zombie-like symptoms.

He had a tumor removed back in 2007, and he was a heavy cell phone user. Me? I have an emerging environmental illness called Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity. The cell phone MASTS are the biggest problem though because, cell phone addict or not, we're ALL exposed 24/7. Cordless phones are no better. This is definitely WAY bigger than smoking ever was.

Basically they said, oh, this amount heats tissue, but this amount doesn't. Let's make it a little less than the amount that doesn't heat tissue and pronounce it 'safe'...<br><br>What they failed to consider was what Dr. Robert O. Becker studied and researched his entired life - the NON-thermal bioeffects of these exposures. Read 'The Body Electric' and 'Cross Currents', and you'll quickly understand how dangerous these signals are to the human body, and why we are playing with fire. Dr. Becker learned that certain 'frequencies' of electricity can heal bone tissue. In fact, his methods were accepted and are in use today. It goes without saying that if certain frequencies can heal tissue, certain frequencies can harm it, too!
