No, they don't. Now hold still as I beat you over the head with my cell
phone (the only head problems you'll ever get from one) ...

You're not supposed to stick the antenna in one ear and out the
other.

JoshIII recounts:
My aunt knows a man from her church that is a truck driver. He would spend
hours on cellphone while driving long routes to break the monotony.

He just found out a couple months age he has a brain tumor.

At least one of his doctors thought persistent cellphone use and his brian
tumor were related. The doctor insisted he stop using cellphones
immediately.

Personally I like the idea of having a cellular antenna mounted on the car's
roof or rear windshield (as far away from your body as you can get it).

Analogy: Granted the Sun is allot more powerful than a cellphone, but a man
at 6 feet is a small antenna 93,000,000 miles away from the energy source.
You can get a severe sunburn within 2 or 3 hours (without sun block).
Hours a week naked in the Sun, you'd be burnt to a crisp.

Bon Appetite!

Hours a week on a cellphone transmitting right next to your head can't hurt?

"Granted the sun is a lot more powerful than a cell phone." Wow. That
is the BIGGEST understatement I've heard in a while. Wow. Just, wow.

Do you know that worrying about such utter crap will decrease your
life?

Does using a headset decrease such risk?

Somewhere around 7 Apr 2006 14:25:29 -0700, while reading alt.cellular, I
think I thought I saw this post from "SQ" <onestatusquo@yahoo.com>:

>Does using a headset decrease such risk?

Yes, definitely. That's not to say there are any bad effects, but there is
definitely a risk. While there is no proof that it will harm you, there is
also no proof that it won't. Taking reasonable precautions to minimize the
risk doesn't hurt. Worrying too much about it does, IMHO.

Using a headset, or remote antenna, or speakerphone will probably all reduce
risks.

Re: Do You Know Long-term mobile phone use raises brain tumor risk ?


I'm a television reporter with the Medill News Service in the Chicago
area and wanting to do a story on someone directly related to this
issue. Someone who has a brain tumor and thinks this could be the
cause, or someone who is paranoid about the recent studies that have
come out. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I have to report
Wednesday so time is of the essence. Email me at
j-thomas@northwestern.edu with any names or help. Thanks

I think he goes to the same church as my aunt.

I'll have to email my aunt and get back to you with further info.

Might just give you the name of his doctor, and you can contact him that
way.

JThomas, do a little investigating and notice the big cellphone RF scare
came out just about the same time the carriers were trying to dump 3W
bagphones and 600mw handheld phones and justify lowering the transmitter
powers to 300mw, then 200mw, now 150mw to increase their revenue-per-
square-mile. The lower the transmitter power of a cellphone, the less
numbers of cells that can hear it, increasing the number of available
channels over a crowded area because only 1 or 2 or so cells can hear the
little toyphone's signal.....even on CDMA, which some are going to tell
you I'm all wet.

RF isn't rocket science. If your TV station could be talked into
reducing power to 1/10th what it's running now, we could have lots more
TV stations on your channel across the country. We'd sure do that if FCC
were being paid by the month...(c;

Scaring the bejesus out of gullible cellphone users that the big
transmitters in their bagphones, carphones and big handhelds was frying
their brains made it real easy to get them off those dangerous phones
into the tinytoytransmitter phones they're carrying around, now.

If RF is so dangerous, why are VHF stations running 316KW ERP and UHF
stations running 25MW ERP? They're all frying our brains!!

Standing here with the lit flourescent tube in my hand from the big AM
transmitter....

50 years of RF and I can still see....(c;

Re: Do You Know Long-term mobile phone use raises brain tumor risk ?


I read your post in one of the cell phone groups re the association of
cell phone use and brain tumors. I am a neurologist and neurosurgeon
(and a long time ,heavy cell phone user). I believe that I have read
everything that has been published in the medical literature on this
question, and I have concluded that to date there has been no evidence
to support such an association. Whereas there have been a few
"suggestive" studies, these were either methodologically flawed or
statistically insignificant. If any persuasive studies are published,
I will summarize these and post to all of the cellular groups.

If the doctors and nurses were burned with RF, it wasn't their cellphones
but those 500 watt Quintron paging transmitters we had up on the roof of
the hospital. Sure stopped their complaining their pages weren't making it
into the buildings....(c;
