The “”Interphone Study”" is the name of a multi-country analysis on mobile phones and associated cancer risk (May 17, 2010). The combined examination and results of the 13 countries participating in the Interphone Study are published in the “”International Journal of Epidemiology”". Find out why you are more likely to get brain cancer after using a cell phone.

The study summarizes the data on mobile phone radiation and associated cancer risk. It reviews brain tumors, including acoustic neuroma (a tumor formed of nerve tissue) and tumors of the parotid gland. The data linked “”heavy”" cell phone use to a 40% increased risk of Glioma (brain cancer). The tumor would usually start on the side of the head that people hold their mobile phone. If the person was right-handed, it would start behind the right ear. If the person was left-handed, it would start behind the left ear.

However, the “”Interphone Study”" definition of “”heavy”" cell phone use is only ½ hour per day. The average usage for people today is well over ½ hour. Some people have their cell phone with them for 8-10 hours per day or more. Furthermore, the cell phone does not have to be “”in use”" for this length of time. The fact that it is turned on, and in your bio-field, means that it is affecting your body frequency and your immune system.
People have become accustomed to surfing the net, using social media, and even watching television on their smart phone. More and more apps are being developed for smart phone users. Many people are cancelling land line use and switching to cell phone use only. This means that as the usage of cell phones and smart phones increases, so does the risk of brain cancer.

Another cause for concern is the amount of radiation we are subjected to from laptop and desktop computer monitors, hand-held e-readers, playbooks and i-pads. Radiation Safety standards are higher in most European countries. For example, the Swedish safety standard is a maximum of 0.25 milligauss at 50 cm (about 20 inches) from your display screen. Many US and Canadian screens emit 5-100 milligauss at that distance. There is some disagreement as to what a “”safe”" reading is. Sweden has suggested a background reading of 2 milligauss. Other countries suggest 1 milligauss or less. The average time spent on computers, e-readers, playbooks and i-pads has increased exponentially, just like the usage of cell phones. Children are more susceptible because their brains and immune systems are still developing. As the usage of computers and hand-held devices increases, so does the risk of cancer.

In 1989 the US Department of Energy reported that “”it has now become generally accepted that there are, indeed, biological effects due to field exposure”" from EMFs. It is not just the short-term effects that are evident. Long-term studies are now surfacing showing a higher risk of various cancers due to EMF exposure.

Short-term exposure to EMF can produce headaches, dizziness, lack of concentration, fatigue, heart palpitations, compromise immune function, affect sleep, decrease the effectiveness of therapeutic drug treatment, cause skin rashes and decrease mental and physical well-being.

Long-term exposure to EMF can produce mutations, brain cancer and degenerative brain diseases.
We are all living in a world that is contaminated with Electropollution. Isn’t it about time that we find radiation protection for ourselves and our children?

Telcom Companies Afraid to Find Link Bbetween Mobile, Brain Cancer

Microwave – and other forms of electromagnetic radiation are major (but conveniently disregarded, ignored, and overlooked) factors in many modern unexplained disease states. Insomnia, anxiety, vision problems, swollen lymph, headaches, extreme thirst, night sweats, fatigue, memory and concentration problems, muscle pain, weakened immunity, allergies, heart problems, and intestinal disturbances are all symptoms found in a disease process originally described in the 1970s as Microwave Sickness.

While fatal brain cancer is on the rise, questions have been raised whether it is caused by radiations from mobile phones.

Some studies have found there is no link between mobiles and brain cancer. Others have found a link.

Now, Dr Charlie Teo, one of Australia’s top neurosurgeons, claimed that some people are too afraid to find out because of the enormous consequences.

Dr Teo told News.com.au that studies that found no link were usually at least partly funded by telecommunications companies and that the telcos have in the past refused to release records of phone usage that would allow a more robust study to be done.
The largest study done, the international and partly telco-funded Interphone study, found phones were safe unless you are a “heavy user”, or a child (children were not included in the study).

“(Brain cancer) is a terrible disease, it’s the most lethal cancer known to mankind. It kills young people and it appears to be affecting more people than it did ten years ago. I believe there may be a link between mobile phones and brain cancer,” Dr Teo said.
“Finding a definite link would be devastating” and the telecommunications companies are too afraid to find out,” he stated.

Dr Teo, whose opinion is published in full on The Punch on Monday thinks we need to find out for sure, and soon.

“Why wait until half the world’s population has brain cancer?” he asked.

He also went to great pains to emphasise that there may not be a link; that he is not a radiation expert, and that he is not a zealot who wants to get rid of mobile phones. But he has looked at all the available evidence, at least a third of his patients’ tumours are in the area of the brain near the ear, and he wants to find out what is going on.

Dr Teo said he personally minimises his usage and always uses a hands-free kit.

The World Health Organisation says the non-ionising radiation emitted by phones is possibly carcinogenic and recommends hands-free or texting.

And in the instructions for iPhones and Blackberries lurks a warning to keep phones slightly away from your body.

Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association Chief Executive Officer Chris Althaus said AMTA rejected “Dr Teo’s baseless claims of alleged improper industry influence over research into mobile phone health and safety”.

He said while they respected his work and acknowledged his right to express his opinion, expert opinion and the weight of evidence showed, there were no adverse health effects from mobile phone use.

He said the industry was committed to supporting expert research to help consumers make informed choices, that funding was provided under strict protocols and that sometimes governments made funding conditional on some funds coming from industry.
Althaus also said the industry had cooperated fully with researchers.

Mobile Phones And Brain Cancer. Are You Worried?

Cell Phone Radiation, Cell Phone Radiation Protection

8 May 2012

Dr Charlie Teo isn’t a kook. He is the best brain surgeon in the country. He knows the inside of your head like you know the back of your hand. He’s seen the rise in a certain type of brain cancer.

And he’s worried.

Here’s what some of what he wrote on The Punch yesterday :

“There are three undisputed facts about the link between mobile phones and brain tumours. Firstly, the jury is still out. Secondly, the number of mobile phone users is increasing rapidly and currently stands at over five billion worldwide. Thirdly, IF there is a causal link between exposure to non-ionising radiation and brain tumours, then the social and financial consequences would be devastating and on a scale never before witnessed in history.

With over twenty one million mobile phones in use in Australia, why are we not spending the resources on finding the answer? Perhaps the answer is one that all of us would rather not imagine. Could those with a vested interest be misguiding us?

The other, less divisive explanation is that epidemiologists and scientists truly believe that the jury is no longer out and that there is absolutely no link.

But allow me to be blunt for a moment. One of the strongest criticisms of studies that show a link is that they have required the users to rely on their memory and recollect their usage times from years before. How many of us could accurately remember their phone usage? This criticism would be addressed definitively if the telcos would give access to phone usage records – but no telcos have allowed scientists access to their records for these large studies.

I see 10 to 20 new patients each week and at least one third of those patients’ tumours are in the area of the brain around the ear. As a neurosurgeon I cannot ignore this fact and while I may personally believe there is a link between brain tumours and EMR exposure, I need evidence to support it and evidence takes careful planning and funds.”

It’s easy enough to swat away concerns like these as unbridled paranoia from the tinfoil hat brigade. And for a while, that’s what many of us did. And then earlier this year the World Health Organisation did something it had never done before.

It admitted mobile phones were ‘possibly carcinogenic’ . That’s an admission that would put mobile phones in the same category as lead, the pesticide DDT and car exhausts. And most of us use one every day.

Last year, Mamamia spoke to international health campaigner Dr Devra Davis about the mobile phone debate. She’s a veteran of Big Tobacco campaigns from an era when tobacco was still cool and definitely not ‘unhealthy’.

Here’s what Dr Davis had to say then:

“Frankly, the risks of not acting on what we know today about mobile phone use are horrifying,” she says. “We know enough to take precautions and we should.”

“To my mind, we are watching an epidemic in slow motion.”

But where’s the evidence that something is amiss?

Dr Davis sets the scene first.

“Let me paint you a picture. When I was having these discussions with scientists and the tobacco companies regarding smoking, all the skeptics demanded of me to ‘show them the bodies’ but of course, we couldn’t. Well, we couldn’t directly and with 100 per cent certainty link them to smoking. We still can’t most of the time, but we now know we were silly to ignore the warnings,” Dr Davis says.

“This is not a simple conspiracy; it is far more complicated.

“Scientists study and love picking arguments with other scientists so that on any given issue there will always, always be legitimate uncertainty as some take different sides.

“But the mobile phone companies are very quick to exploit this and yell ‘the science is uncertain, therefore mobile phones are safe’. If we had acted in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s when we first knew about the hints of problems with tobacco, the incidence of lung cancer and other illnesses in the following decades would have been dramatically lower.

“The same will be said of mobile phone use. We, as a civilised world, didn’t even start using phones en masse until 1998, which means the lag time for cancers and tumours will be 10 to 20 years at least.

“Do you really think we can afford to wait? If we wait 40 years, we are treating our grandchildren as experiments.”

The problem, of course, that there is no link in the evidence. As Dr Teo notes, all the studies that show there might be one were conducted independent of telecommunications companies. All those that show things are fine were wholly or partly funded by the telcos.

Here’s some of the more interesting data:

Of studies of people who have been heavy cellphone users (defined as someone who has made a half-hour call a day for 10 years), there is a 50 percent increase in brain cancer overall. And among the heaviest users there’s a two- to fourfold increased risk.
An Australian researcher Dr John Aitken has performed experiments on sperm (replicated by peers around the world) that show sperm live three times longer when not kept near mobile phone radiation.
Children are more at risk as their brains are not yet encased in myelin, says Dr Davis, which is a fatty barrier that coats neurons and helps dim the impacts of radiation. Their skulls are also thinner.
Warnings in mobile phone brochures are at odds with the public message that these phones are safe. The iPhone 4 warning, for example, says the phone should be kept at least 15mm from the body at all times . Does anybody?
So, if any of that makes you think twice there’s a few simple things you can do. Keep the phone 5cm away from your body as often as possible, avoid using your phone when the signal is weak or when driving at high speed (as the phone tries harder to pick up a signal), keep switching sides when using the phone and purchase handsets with the lowest SAR ratings.

SAR stands for ‘Specific Absorption Rate’ and is a measure what your body may absorb from an electromagnetic field.

Risks of the Biggest Technological Experiment in the History of Our Species

The biggest experiment of our species’: With five billion mobile users in the world, conference calls for research into potential brain cancer risks

* Scientists at London conference call for independent research into potential links between using a mobile phone and brain cancer
* Figures from ONS show 50 per cent increase in brain tumours since 1999
* Studies ‘are split 50/50′ in conclusions, leaving the issue open for debate
* But believers fear fall-out from the ‘biggest technological experiment in the history of our species’

A scientific conference starting in London today will urge governments across the world to support independent research into the possibility that using mobile phones encourages the growth of head cancers.

The Children with Cancer conference will highlight figures just published by the Office of National Statistics, which show a 50 per cent increase in frontal and temporal lobe tumours between 1999 and 2009.

The ONS figures show that the incident rate has risen from two to three per 100,000 people since 1999, while figures from Bordeaux Segalen University show a one to two per cent annual increase in brain cancers in children.

Scientists and academics have long argued over the suggestion that radiation from mobile phones causes cancers. Those who believe there is a link say that – with five billion mobile phones being used worldwide – urgent research must be carried out to establish the risk.

But not everyone agrees. While governments, phone companies, and health agencies give precautionary advice about minimising mobile phone use, the Health Protection Agency is likely to conclude in a report due on Thursday that the only established risk when using a mobile is crashing a car due to being distracted by a call or text.

Professor Denis Henshaw, emeritus professor of human radiation effects at Bristol University, is opening the three-day conference in Westminster today.

He has previously advocated cigarette-style warnings on mobile phone packets and urges more independent research.

Professor Henshaw said: ‘Vast numbers of people are using mobile phones and they could be a time bomb of health problems – not just brain tumours, but also fertility, which would be a serious public health issue.

‘The health effects of smoking alcohol and air pollution are well known and well talked about, and it’s entirely reasonable we should be openly discussing the evidence for this, but it is not happening.

‘We want to close the door before the horse has bolted.’

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) rang alarm bells last year when it classified mobile phones as ‘possibly carginogenic’.

Professor Darius Leszczynski, of the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority in Finland, said: ‘For the first time a very prominent evaluation report states it so openly and clearly: RF-EMF [radio frequency electromagnetic field] is possibly carcinogenic to humans.

CANCER IN CHILDREN ON THE RISE
Speaker Dr Annie Sasco, from the Epidemiology for Cancer Prevention unit at Bordeaux Segalen University, will highlight the one to two per cent annual increase in brain cancers in children. She has concerns over the effect of radiation on children’s brains.

She said: ‘If the penetration of the electromagnetic waves goes for four centimetres into the brain, four centimetres into the adult brain is just the temporal lobe.

‘There are not too many important functions in the temporal lobe – but in a child the more central brain structures are going to be exposed.

‘In addition kids have a skull which is thinner, less protective, they have a higher content of water in the brain, so there are many reasons that they absorb more of the same radiation.’

Speaking to the Independent about the rise in brain cancer in children, she said: ‘It’s not age, it’s too fast to be genetic, and it isn’t all down to lifestyle, so what in the environment can it be?

‘We now live in an electro-smog and people are exposed to wireless devices that we have shown in the lab to have a biological impact.

‘It is totally unethical that experimental studies are not being done very fast, in big numbers, by independently funded scientists.

‘The industry is just doing their job, I am more preoccupied with the so called independent scientists and institutions saying there is no problem.’

‘One has to remember that IARC monographs are considered as “”gold standard”" in evaluation of carcinogenicity of physical and chemical agents.
‘If IARC says it so clearly then there must be sufficient scientific reason for it, or IARC would not put its reputation behind such claim.’
However not everyone believes there is a significant risk from mobile phone radiation.
Ken Foster, professor of bio-engineering at the University of Philadelphia, downplayed the IARC’s classification.
He is quoted on Science Based Medicine as saying: ‘Saying that something is a “”possible carcinogen”" is a bit like saying that someone is a “”possible shoplifter”" because he was in the store when the watch was stolen.
‘The real question is what is the evidence that cell phones actually cause cancer, and the answer is – none that would persuade a health agency.’
The Independent said the research is split almost 50:50 on whether mobile phones pose a health hazard or not, but pointed out research from Joel Moskowitz, director of the Center for Family and Community Health at the University of California, who said that the balance changes if funding sources are considered, with around three quarters of studies implying no health risks being funded by the mobile phone industry.
He told the paper: ‘The mantra that “”we need more research”" is true, but there is already enough evidence to warrant better safety information, tighter regulation, mass public education and independently funded research carried out by teams of specialists who are not beholden to industry.
‘This is the largest technological experiment in the history of our species and we’re trying to bury our head in sand about the potential risks to cells, organs, reproduction, the immune system, behaviour, risks we still know next to nothing about.’
Governments and mobile phone companies often play down the risks and the UK’s Mobile Operators Association says there is ‘no credible evidence of adverse health effects’.
The Department of Health says: ‘As a precaution children should only use mobile phones for essential purposes and keep all calls short. We keep all scientific evidence under review.’
The NHS also advises children under 16 to minimise their use of mobile phones.
The iPhone, Apple’s smartphone which popularised mobile computing, comes with the advice that you should keep your phone at least 15mm away from your body at all times – which may come as a surprise to those who keep the phone in their pockets at all times.
The guide that comes with the phone warns: ‘When using the iPhone near your body for voice calls or wireless data transmissions over a cellular network, keep it at least 15mm away from the body, and only use carrying cases, belt clips or holders that do not have metal parts and that maintain at least 15mm separation between iPhone and the body.’

Other guides, such as the one that comes with a BlackBerry, have similar warnings. The BlackBerry guide suggests that users, particularly pregnant women and teenagers, keep their phone 25mm from their body.

WHAT IS THE RISK? STUDY OF 350,000 PEOPLE FAILS TO FIND CANCER LINK
A study held in Denmark last October compared medical records against phone records of around 358,000 people.

They correlated the data to see how long people owned their phones, and how many of these people developed brain cancer.

Some users had owned mobile phones for more than 20 years. In total, the group had owned their phones for ’3.8 million years’, and suffered 10,729 cases of tumours.

When compared to the average population, they found no indication of ‘dose-response’ relation either by years since first subscription for a mobile phone or by anatomical location of the tumour – that is, in regions of the brain closest to where the handset is usually held to the head.

They concluded ‘there were no increased risks of tumours of the central nervous system, providing little evidence for a causal association’.

The guide, almost ironically, also suggest that users ‘reduce the amount of time spent on calls’.
Professor Leszczynski will use the conference to urge for a stronger IARC classification – ‘probably carginogenic’.
He told the Independent: ‘Since 2001 I have continuously spoken about the need for precautionary measures, especially for children. We have had enough evidence to call for that for a long time.’
The conference will also discuss other reasons for childhood cancer, such as chemical toxins in the air, food and water, and infection and genetic effects.
But the main message coming from the Children with Cancer conference is: more independent research is needed.
Professor Denis Henshaw told the Independent: ‘The public have a right to know this information.
‘We cannot and do not say there is a causal link between brain cancer and mobile phones, but we are right to consider them as one possible explanation for the increase and the public have the right to expect that this is properly investigated.

‘Even if the risk is still only one in a million, with 5 billion phone users, it means a lot of extra brain cancers.’

Is Your Phone Hazardous to Your Health?

No, I’m not talking about the cancerous tumor that’s growing in your brain from sleeping with your cell phone under your pillow every night! That’s old news. I’m talking about your everyday, pedestrian strains of parasites and bacteria transmitted through poo.

No s___! Actually, there probably is s___. According to a study by the University of London, one in six mobile phones in Britain is contaminated with fecal matter. Of course, they say “faecal” but hey, tomato-tomahto, right?

16% of hands and 16% of cell phones were found to harbor E.coli, which causes stomach upset, food poisoning, and has been the cause of several serious outbreaks in the last few years, including the one in Germany last summer that killed 157 people! Didn’t we have to boycott lettuce or lemons at some point?

The article says, “Every year, 3.5m children under the age of five are killed by pneumonia and diarrhoeal diseases – and the simple action of washing hands with soap is one of the most effective ways of preventing these illnesses. In developed countries, handwashing with soap helps to prevent the spread of viral infections, such as norovirus, rotavirus and influenza.”

All we have to do is wash our hands. With soap. Generally speaking, it seems like the U.S. has become so germaphobic that it’s an accepted ritual to wipe down the handles of your grocery cart as you enter the store. I’ve seen automatic dispensers of hand sanitizer strategically positioned RIGHT NEXT to the elevator button in the lobby. And what mom does not have a little bottle of it in her diaper bag or purse these days? Mine doubles as moisturizer. However, I wonder how many of us go through all these lengths but decide to skip the basic hand-washing-with-soap ritual?

Consider the irony with the great lengths we go through to keep the germs at bay, our most-prized and treasured item, the one we keep close to us at all times, the one that has a permanent reserved parking spot on our kitchen counters as we make breakfast, lunch and dinner, the one that actually makes it into our beds and for some, into our toddler’s eager mouths, is F-I-L-T-H-Y. It’s a petri dish of every microscopic vile creature you can imagine!

Don’t even pretend you don’t bring your phone to the bathroom, you bloggers! How else are you going to maximize that time?! I’ve polled you and I know.

When I read this article, I had so many follow-up questions. Where to begin? Who’s poo is it? Is it mine? Or, is it some stranger’s I picked up from not hand-sanitizing when I pushed the UP button? Should I be sanitizing before or after I push the button? And, how often should I be I be sanitizing my phone, for goodness sake?

While we’re scrutinizing our cell phones, why not take a look at that keyboard. Or, don’t.

Do Cellphones Damage Your Health?

Cell Phone Radiation, Cell Phone Radiation Protection

Cell Phone Radiation Protection

Trifield Electromagnetic Field Meter

May 6, 2012

The United Kingdom’s Health Protection Agency (HPA) issued a report last month that said studies haven’t shown convincing evidence that cellphones increase the risk of brain tumors or any other type of cancer. But they added a word of caution stating: “”However, as this is a relatively new technology, the HPA will continue to advise a precautionary approach and keep the science under close review.”"

The British report followed a Danish study released last year that found no increased risk for acoustic neuromas — noncancerous brain tumors — in people who had used cellphones for 11 to 15 years. The study was especially important because of its size: It included the entire Danish population.
But doubts remain. Figures just published by the U.K.’s Office of National Statistics found a 50 percent increase in frontal and temporal lobe tumors in children between 1999 and 2009. Did cellphones cause the increase? The jury’s still out, but some researchers point to the radiation cellphones emit.

The results of studies on whether or not cellphones cause cancer are about 50/50 until you consider the funding sources, says Joel Moskowitz, director of the Center for Family and Community Health at the University of California, Berkley, in a story in London’s Independent newspaper. About 75 percent of the studies that found no health risks were funded by industry.

“”This is the largest technological experiment in the history of our species and we’re trying to bury our head in sand about the potential risks to cells, organs, reproduction, the immune system, behavior, and risks we still know next to nothing about,”" Moskowitz said.

The results of many studies are disturbing. A report published last October in the journal Electromagnetic Biology and Medicine said that due to the process for evaluating microwave radiation from phones — which was designed by the cellphone industry and is based on a large man whose brain tissue is supposedly homogeneous — the amount of radiation being absorbed by many adults is being underestimated.
The problem is much worse for children who absorb twice as much microwave radiation from phones as adults. The report says that the hippocampus and hypothalamus of children absorb up to triple the amounts of radiation, and their bone marrow absorbs as much as 10 times more than adults.

Although a study from the National Institutes of Health didn’t find that cellphones increased cancer risk, it did discover that having a 50-minute conversation with the cellphone next to an ear changes brain activity in the area of the brain closest to the phone.

After reviewing dozens of cellphone studies, the International Agency for Research on Cancer issued a statement in 2011 that said cellphones may cause cancer in humans. They based their findings on studies that found that using a cellphone for 10 years doubles the risk of developing a glioma (cancerous brain tumor — the type that killed Ted Kennedy). In addition, an Israeli study found people who used cellphones frequently had a 58 percent increase in parotid tumors, cancer of a salivary gland near the ear.

Researchers at the University of Washington discovered that two hours of exposure to the levels of radiation emitted by cellphones splintered the DNA of brain cells in rats, making them appear similar to cells found in cancerous tumors. Other research has suggested that cellphone use causes changes in the body, and that their use should, at least, be limited.

A Russian study found that children who used cellphones had poorer memories than those children who didn’t. In addition, an animal study released in March by researchers at Yale University linked the radiation from cellphones to changes in brain development that could cause hyperactivity. “We have shown that behavioral problems in mice that resemble ADHD are caused by cellphone exposure in the womb,” said senior researcher Dr. Hugh S. Taylor, a reproductive specialist. “The rise in behavioral disorders in human children may be in part due to fetal cellular telephone irradiation exposure.”"

The effect of cellphone radiation on male fertility is especially troubling. Research in seven countries found that young men who are heavy users of cellphones drastically lower their sperm count. “”All the research shows the same thing,”" award-winning scientist Devra Davis told the Daily Mail. “”If you take young men who are trying to become fathers, those who use mobile phones at least four hours a day have about half the sperm count of others. Sperm exposed to mobile phone radiation in the lab is sicker, thinner, and less capable of swimming.”"

Neurosurgeon Dr. Russell Blaylock, editor of The Blaylock Wellness Report, is likewise unconvinced that cellphones are harmless. “”There is considerable evidence that cellphones damage the brain as well as other tissues and organs,”" he says. “”Many studies have shown that the microwave radiation from cellphones damages tissues and especially DNA. In fact, two of the scientists cellphone companies backed to do these studies were fired when their studies demonstrated DNA damage in all cells exposed to the wavelengths and energy from cellphones.”"

FATAL brain cancer is on the rise and could be caused by radiation from mobile phones, which would mean we’re heading for devastation “”on a scale never before witnessed in history”".

Or there may be nothing to worry about.

Right now, no one knows for sure – and Dr Charlie Teo, one of Australia’s top neurosurgeons, says some people are too afraid to find out because of the enormous consequences.

Some studies have found there is no link between mobiles and brain cancer. Others have found a link. Dr Teo told News.com.au that studies that found no link were usually at least partly funded by telecommunications companies – and that the telcos have in the past refused to release records of phone usage that would allow a more robust study to be done.

The largest study done, the international and partly telco-funded Interphone study, found phones were safe – unless you are a “”heavy user”", or a child (children were not included in the study).

“”(Brain cancer) is a terrible disease, it’s the most lethal cancer known to mankind. It kills young people and it appears to be affecting more people than it did ten years ago. I believe there may be a link between mobile phones and brain cancer,”" Dr Teo said.

“”Finding a definite link would be devastating – and the telecommunications companies are too afraid to find out.”"

Dr Teo – whose opinion is published in full on The Punch today – thinks we need to find out for sure, and soon.

“”Why wait until half the world’s population has brain cancer?”" he asked.
He also went to great pains to emphasise that there may not be a link; that he is not a radiation expert, and that he is not a zealot who wants to get rid of mobile phones. But he has looked at all the available evidence, at least a third of his patients’ tumours are in the area of the brain near the ear, and he wants to find out what is going on.

The Cancer Council NSW also says more research is always good, but they add that in general people shouldn’t get too uptight. Chief executive officer Dr Andrew Penman said it was “”difficult to prove that mobile phones cause cancer but even more difficult to prove they don’t cause cancer”".

He says the “”real world”" shows that if there was any effect from phones it would be “”very small”".

Dr Penman says any rise in brain cancer incidences are in older people, and that because large studies such as the Interphone study have not found a link there is no need for people to panic.

“”It’s fine to be aware of the debate, but as the evidence has accumulated the level of alarm and concern … that prompted warnings about use in young children … has abated,”" he said.

“”People tend to cast around for exotic causes of cancer they can control – but the big thing is tobacco, lack of exercise, obesity, sun exposure, the use of hormone replacement therapy. We know those things have a big effect, and you can actually do something about those.”"

Dr Penman says there is no need for people to change their behaviour.

Dr Teo says he personally minimises his usage and always uses a hands-free kit.

The World Health Organisation says the non-ionising radiation emitted by phones is possibly carcinogenic and recommends hands-free or texting.

And in the instructions for iPhones and Blackberries lurks a warning to keep phones slightly away from your body.

Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association Chief Executive Officer Chris Althaus said AMTA rejected “”Dr Teo’s baseless claims of alleged improper industry influence over research into mobile phone health and safety”".

He said while they respected his work and acknowledged his right to express his opinion, expert opinion and the weight of evidence showed there were no adverse health effects from mobile phone use.

He said the industry was committed to supporting expert research to help consumers make informed choices, that funding was provided under strict protocols – and that sometimes governments made funding conditional on some funds coming from industry.

Mr Althaus also said the industry had cooperated fully with researchers.

Really, Cell Phone Radiation Can Cause Brain Cancer?

The theory that radiation mobile phones can cause brain cancer has been long outstanding, and this is what attracted many researchers to examine the return on the theory

According to Dr Teo, in fact until now there has been no research that can really explain that brain cancer has nothing to do with the use of HP, but a stirring thing to write is that in everyday practice, he finds more and more patients who suffer or have tumor in the brain.

“”Every day of my arrival 10 to 20 new patients, and at least 30 percent of them had a tumor in the brain, close to the ear. I was not an expert in electromagnetic radiation problems. However, as experts in the field of brain cancer, and look at the increasing number of patients this cancer, I now want to know what really happened, “”said Dr Teo.

According to Dr Teo, who was much honored both in Australia and internationally, until now there has been no effective treatment for brain cancer. And the disease is the highest cause of cancer death for Australians under the age of 39 years, and also claimed more and more children and women in Australia are under 35 years compared to other cancers.

He said so far the uncontested facts concerning the relationship of brain cancer and HP then that (1) there is still no clear conclusion, (2) mobile phone users is increasing, by now there are at least 5 billion users around the world, (3) and when later it proved a link between brain cancer and mobile phones, then the impact would exceed other health crises that never existed before.

According to the Reuters correspondent in Australia, L. Sastra Wijaya, Dr Charlie Teo who daily become a specialist at Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, said now needed example of the telecommunications company to open fully the results of their research.

So far, according to Dr. Teo, the existing research conclusions “”bias”" depending on who funded the research. From the study of literature, for example, which concludes the existence of a relationship, none of the study was financed by a telecom company.

While other studies, which say there is no relationship, 75 percent of the study were at least partially funded by the telecommunications industry.

By far the largest study ever conducted so-called Interphone study – funded by the telecoms industry – said HP does not cause cancer, but no phone users “”heavy”" or the children, but children are not included in the study, the conclusions are also floating “”the possible impact of heavy users of HP mjasih needs further research.”"

According to Dr Charlie Teo, the Interphone study has drawbacks because it does not involve the children and also does not involve the user’s phone for business purposes, the two groups most at risk. “”We need to design studies that are correct from the start by recognizing that the radiation, if it causes cancer, take about 10 years before it causes cancer.”" he said.

In reaction to the media, the Executive Director of Mobil Australia Telephone Association (AMTA) Chris Althaus said AMTA rejected “”unfounded from Dr Teo that the telecom industry to give excessive pressure in the study about the safe use of mobile phones.”"

Althaus said that although they respect the opinion of Dr Teo, but so far no clear evidence about the dangers of using mobile phone and AMTA will cooperate fully with any research in the future. Well while waiting for the results of research that more clearly, all sides agree that the restrictions on the use of mobile phones needs to be done.

Brain Cancer Risks of Mobile Phones for Real

Science has confirmed that the trusty mobile gadget – which now comes as a smart phone or feature phone – emits radiation, ramping up fears that humans may indeed develop brain cancer from excessive use of the ubiquitous device.

In May 2011, the World Health Organization (WHO) listed cell phones as likely contributors to brain cancer, specifically glioma and acoustic neuroma brain conditions.

Thirty-one scientists working for the international health agency concluded on a report that personal exposure to mobile phones could be “”possibly carcinogenic to humans.”"

The WHO report said that mobile phones generate x-ray like radiation that is comparable to the rays emitted by microwave ovens.

“”What microwave radiation does in most simplistic terms is similar to what happens to food in microwaves, essentially cooking the brain,”" the report said as quoted by CNN in a news article that the network ran last year.

“”In addition to leading to a development of cancer and tumours, there could be a whole host of other effects like cognitive memory function, since the memory temporal lobes are where we hold our cell phones,”" the report added.

To avoid dire consequences if mobile phones cannot be avoided, WHO researchers suggested keeping the gadgets far from the head as possible, which can be done by using a wired earpiece – not a Bluetooth device that is equally harmful according to experts – or by simply sending text messages.

However, a new report recently issued by Interphone Study claimed that mobile phones were hardly harmful unless owners of the units can be considered as ‘heavy users’ or those who opted to talk over the phone on extended period, thereby exposing them cell phone radiation emission.

The new study was partially funded by international telcos, prompting a prominent Australian neurosurgeon to observe that the telecommunication industry was supportive of the findings because it naturally wishes to protect its business interest.

In his commentary piece published on Monday by The Punch, Dr Charlie Teo insisted that “”there may be a link between mobile phones and brain cancer … Finding a definite link would be devastating – and the telecommunications companies are too afraid to find out.”"

While Dr Teo admitted that radiation was beyond his expertise, he noted too that a rising number of his patients were found to have developed brain tumour close to the ear area, prompting medical questions that he said require more research.

If mobile phones were indeed causing cancer then the world needs to come up with definite answers considering the global prevalence of the device, Dr Teo argued on his article.

“”Brain cancer is a terrible disease, it’s the most lethal cancer known to mankind. It kills young people and it appears to be affecting more people than it did ten years ago,”" he asserted.

But experts from the NSW Cancer Council are under the impression that Dr Teo may be overreacting.

According to council CEO Andrew Penman, real world scenario suggests that mobile phone usage rarely leads to health conditions.

“”It was difficult to prove that mobile phones cause cancer but even more difficult to prove they don’t cause cancer,”" Dr Penman told News.com.au on Monday.

“”People tend to cast around for exotic causes of cancer they can control – but the big thing is tobacco, lack of exercise, obesity, sun exposure, the use of hormone replacement therapy. We know those things have a big effect, and you can actually do something about those,”" he added.

To push the panic button at this time would be inappropriate, Dr Penman said, adding that for people to radically alter their attitude towards mobile phones would be uncalled for.

He admitted though that as a precaution, he has since picked up on WHO’s medical recommendations that would likely minimise the risk of brain cancer reportedly posed by mobile phones.

Dr Penman said he has reduced his communication dependence on his cell phone and if needed, he uses the unit hands-free.
