For some time now, I have been reading research reports on the effects of cell phone radiation on adults. Now I’m reading more and more about the effects of cell phone’s on children. Not good.
According to a research group at France Telecom in Paris, “The brains of young children absorb twice as much radio frequency energy from a cell phone as those of adults.”
This is alarming enough but then just last week the head of a prominent cancer research institute issued an unprecedented warning to his faculty and staff Wednesday: Limit cell phone use because of the possible risk of cancer.
Read that story here.
For my family, only a dire emergency will justify our kids using a cell phone, period. I’m not here telling you what to do. I would only encourage you to read these articles and inform yourself.
I’ve heard stories of young kids using cell phones for 30 minutes to 1 hour at a time! If you transfer that time usage to fun kids exercises, trips to the park, zoo or museum, you will reap the benefits of a healthy family much more than those whose kids are on a potentially dangerous cell phone every day.

Immature brains are so susceptible to energy fields, chemicals in the diet, computer screens, etc. I wish more people realized it.

My belief is that cell phone radiation in dangerous, but on a similar subject my biggest concern is that everybody keeps looking at cell phones but the biggest potential problem is DECT cordless phones. I bet you were not aware that they are transmitting pulsed microwave radiation 24/7 even if a call is not being made. This is because the original specification called for constant communication between the base stations and all the handsets. This failing has been addressed in some parts of Europe with the introduction of Low Radiation DECT phones. The only problem is that the industry is hiding its head under a stone and keeping it quiet.
