How long have you been using your cellphone? Using a mobile device for
any length of time is damaging to some degree, but new research is
shedding light on just how significant of an influence extended
cellphone use has on the brain.

In a newly-released study
conducted at the Örebro Hospita in Sweden, it was revealed that 10
years of cellphone use resulted in an average 290% increased risk of
brain tumor development. Interestingly, the tumor development was found
on the side of the head in which the cellphone was most used.

It’s important to understand that cellphone use has gone up
significantly since 10 years ago, meaning that more recent results may
show an even higher risk. Statistically, the average person in Britain
and many other developed nations will soon have about 2 cellphones
each. With the increased number of cellphones on the citizens of the
world comes something known as ‘second-hand cellphone use’. Just as with
smoking, sitting in a bus, airplane, or train will expose you to
upwards of several hundred cellphones at one time.

Another key factor is that 10 years ago far less
young children were using cellphones –a select few having them as
‘emergency’ contact devices. Now, it’s not uncommon to see children
under 10 chatting or texting on their cellphone throughout the day.

It is a well known fact that developing children are more affected by cellphone radiation, with behavioral disorders known to develop from cellphone use at an early age. It is also known that cellphone radiation is actually changing the brain in ways that are not currently understood.





In other words, the large-scale global use of cellphones is essentially a
massive biological experiment. The true long-term effects will only be
absolutely known when they occur. Following the research, this will
likely be a historical spike in brain tumor development and damage.

As you certainly know, the best way of protecting yourself from
cellphone radiation is to simply not use it. When turning the phone off,
it reduces the emission rate close to zero. This is not always an
option for many, so there are a few vital methods of reducing the
damage:

• Try and use the ‘speaker’ option on your cellphone when possible, holding it in your hand away from your head.
  
• Turn your phone off at night or when you are not using it.
  
• Place your phone in ‘airplane’ mode if you cannot turn it off entirely.
  
• Look into and heavily research radiation protection options for your
  phone. Be aware there are a number of fake items out there, so always
  look for a product brand with real research behind it.
  

On a grander scale, it is essential to let your friends and family know
the dangers of cellphone use. It is by generating awareness and getting
those you know upset that real change will occur within the industry.
