You need to know what they say…

Cell Phones Are More Dangerous Than Smoking And Asbestos

There`s just over three billion users of cell phones worldwide…and the concern is not just brain tumors, but other health effects associated or reported to be associated with cell phones, including behavioral disturbances, salivary gland tumors, male infertility and microwave sickness.”
Dr. Vini Khurana

I think that the evidience that is accumulating is pointing towards an effect of mobiles on tumors.I would not want to be a heavy user of a mobile phone.People might be shocked to hear that the evidence does seem to be coming more strongly in support of harmful effects”.
Dr. Vini Khurana

Brain Tumors Are The Number One Cancer Killer Among Children In The United States And The Second Most Common Form Of Cancer In Kids

“Teenagers and even younger will be using cell phones for 20 to 30 years, we do not have enough data now to say that it is a safe device”
Dr. Keith Black

“A microwave antenna is very similiar to a microwave oven. So We don`t know what long term effects that will have on memory as our young adults age and other neurological problems”
Dr. Keith Black

Cell Phones Have Been Linked To Cancer

It is quite possible (that cell phones cause brain cancer) because we`re seeing these kinds of effects in a number of epidemiological studies…studies from Northern Europe, from Israel, especially from France, from Germany, all point to a risk of cell phone links to brain tumors and neuromas and grand tumors”.
