Are Cell Phones safe for kids?

Posted on Jul 17th, 2009 by Zentertainment Talk Radio : Composer.Musician.Producer.Radio Zentertainment Talk Radio
Hi All

I was reading an excellent article tonite.

What do you think of all the electromagnetic fields we are surrounded in?
How does it affect us as adults?
Are cell phones safe for kids?

There are a lot of kids these days walking around with cell phones. The other day I saw one girl on the beach with her cell phone in the top of her bathing suit so it would not get wet. The phone was on. You see young boys (under 12) with their phones on, and they keep them in their pockets. Teenagers too. Everyone uses cell phones these days. But what are the risks? And is this the riskiest experiment ever conducted? 

How is this technology affecting kids who are still developing? This is the first generation to be exposed to so many electromagnetic fields from such a young age.

I was reading Lilipoh magazine tonite. "France outlawed cell phone ads to children this past January, Russia's Ministry of of Health issued a warning that no child under 18 should use a cell phone. Israel's Health Ministry and Canada's Department of Health issued warnings as well. Germany, the UK, Belgium, India and Finland have all publicly discouraged children's use of cell phones."

As I read the article more, I discovered that Om P Ghandi, PhD, a professor and Chair of Electrical Engineering at the Univ. of Utah, says that " when an adult makes a cell phone call, there is 30% radiation into the brain. When child uses a cell phone, 50 % radiation penetrates the brain. If the child is under 5, it goes up to 75%. "

"Lennart Hardell MD from Sweden, studied teenagers on cell phones and found they are at a fivefold increased risk of brain cancer by the time they reach their mid twenties. Cordless phone risk gives them a fourfold risk."

Robert Becker, MD says that "The greatest polluting element in the earth's environment is the proliferation of electromagnetic fields (EMF's).

With all the warnings and studies that shows the dangers of cell phone use, what is our country's response? 

Sprint has signed a 2 billion dollar contract with Disney to market cell phones to kids under 12.

I have been doing a little of this and a little of that lately. Working on healing. I bought an infrared sauna. I am doing some mercury detox treatments. It's hard stuff to get through and it's a process, not a sprint. Drinking lots of water. Eating real fresh food and nothing that has a mile long label on it. I have been taking some good supplements and sitting by the beach every day when I am at the shore.

I am reading less self help books lately and more fiction. I am loving it.
I've liked a few by Nora Roberts and also Jane Green. Especially her book about The Beach House. 

Hope you are doing well- I can't believe it is August basically!

Jo
