Cell Phones are Dangerous!

[tantricia44]

I just got a frantic call from my Mother that she get a package from the cancer center that cell phones causes cancer. My Dad has been recently diagnosed with prostate cancer & will be getting radioactive treatments this month. He was instructed to stay away from cell phones,tvs, microwaves , etc I don't understand b/c first news was, yes cell phones causes cancer, year later it's not.
Just like one year, eggs are good for you, the next year they're bad for you. What gives?  I don't know what to believe anymore.
I'm freaking  because my cell phone is like an extension of my self.

      Let the buyer and user beware. Use your products wisely and if you see any side effects...discontinue immediately.

The only thing that is dangerous about my cell is the monthly bill LOL

Call phones cause cancer. It's like holding a microwave up to your ear. You should use a cell phone with a head set and dont carry a cell phone on your belt because it can lower sperm cell count.

Cell phones are dangerous. I think you will hear a lot of cases of brain cancer.

I don't use the cell phone much, it is just for emergency purposes only.

You just have to make sure you don't sleep with it right next to you. That's the main thing that causes people problems. They're not quite so dangerous as you seem to be concerned that they are; don't worry.

or read the user manual, in the back of that manual it clearly states that the cellular device emits radiation, but cell phones have become so popular these days that not many people catch that part, and if you are concerned about the harmful effects use a bluetooth headset

I've been hearing about that too and the only thing dangerous to me about cell phones is that monthly bill I keep getting every month.

yep! my little verizon booklet that came with my
phone that i got recently has a whole section in the
back about radiation and how its harmful.

just like cigarette packs now say bluntly that smoking
DOES cause health problems. these are all things we
like to ignore because we can't see it happening.
its an intangible problem - if its not right in front of our
faces, we tend to pretend it doesn't exist.

Using a cell phone is way of life these days.

There was a guy on TV last night who stated that he had just purchased a smartphone and it blew up in his ear while he was talking.  He was lucky it only hurt the edge of his ear and not his eardrum.  Cell phones are here to stay, but so many people live with their cell phone glued to their ear.  at would probably be better if people would just invest in a earplug.
