Top 10 myths about cell phone health hazards  

Cell phones are no longer a luxury but a necessity to be always available to colleagues and relatives. Parents are happy for they know where their kids are, even if you experience a difficult situation you can call rescue workers, and there are also a number of cases when cell phones are useful. However, everyone knows for sure that electromagnetic waves are dangerous and, as cell phones are a source of such waves, they can apparently destroy health.

The myth about brain cancer bore other myths about health problems. This happened after an American neurologist, Chris Newman, brought a proceeding against all mobile and cell phone producing companies, including Motorola. He was dying from brain cancer. After this case, there was a whole army of people commencing proceedings against cell operators and cell phone producing companies.

Let us ruin one by one the spread myths about cell phones and health problems.

1) Using cell phones can result in premature babies. This myth was born when physiologists proved that one third of chicken embryos die under cell phone waves. But how many women do you know who refused to use phones and didn´t bear a baby? And how many women do you know who refused to use a PC? A PC has electromagnetic waves comparable with the ones cell phones have.

2) Alzheimer´s disease. It hasn´t been really proved as some physiologists showed that high electromagnetic frequencies don´t destroy the brain but just heat some of its areas. Additionally, some doctors proved that brain disorders as Alzheimer´s and Parkinson´s diseases do not have a direct connection with cell phone signals. Nevertheless, both types of the researches advise to use hands free.

3) Immunity. Researchers have recently proved that cell phone waves change genes. Thus, many people began discussing cell phone influence on immunity. But still, no researches have given any clear result.

4) Cell phones´ influence on sperm quality. A study involving 361 men was conducted at the Cleveland Clinic, and scientists discovered that everyday/frequent use of cell phones spoil sperm quality. But they examined only 361 men. That´s not enough to obtain a clear result. And again, in some regions people don´t have problems with baby conception, though men use cell phones. Moreover, some of our grandpas and grand grandpas have had great problems with conception and they didn´t use any phones.

5) Brain Cancer. This myth was born after so many proceedings against cell phone producing companies were brought by sick people. But also televisions, alarm systems, computers, and all other electrical devices emit electromagnetic radiation. Some cell phone users have been diagnosed with brain cancer, and many others who have not used cell phones also got this disease.

6) Ear cancer and other ear disorders. This is the myth based on the fact that ears become hot after talking too much on the phone. But, anyhow, the connection between this and ear diseases is not obvious and clear. And if you have had any ear problems before then, surely, you would get diseases now. But if you haven´t, there is nothing to worry about.

7) Arthritis. This may be the only myth that is not related to electromagnetic frequencies but with sending messages. This myth is absolute nonsense as arthritis is connected with the lack of calcium in the body. You can get arthritis even if you make pancakes every day, of course, in the case your organism lacks calcium.

8) Cell phones spoil complexion. Almost everything can spoil complexion: from stress after quarreling with your sex partner to an extra cup of coffee. Until there is more testing and concrete evidence of electromagnetic damage and a realistic solution, you can go on using your cell phone as much as you want.

9) Eye diseases have more in common with brain disorders. If you have headaches, high blood pressure or problems with eyesight then using cell phones may worsen these problems.

10) Endocrine problems. Scientists Mann K and Wagner P fixed some changes in hormone level when tested people were speaking on the cell phones. But after people finished speaking the level got the same as it had been before talks.

As you may have noticed, there is nothing scary about using cell phones if you do not have peculiar health problems. Enjoy talks and take care of your health!
