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.

Hello my dear, and loving heart. 
I to read these articles concerning the wave of “cell phones.”  It is a concern to all, and not just children.  I feel, that as a people grows, we ALL end up to the innocence of this matter.
It's not a physical, but a radio active measure, [as it were] and is basically a harmony of radio active brain waves coming into play as we each draw into this….in such a Kar-azy way!

Children are all a glow, when it comes to something new, and it's their way of communication.  It's no different than an “X Box” or the higher end models of play.
They choose this way of communication because it's a way of keeping in touch with their reality.  It's everything to them. 
Parent/teachers/ways of communication, is indeed a cell phone away because it is there at a moments notice, and is not there from a parent, that should of been there for them [I might add].  Even adults alike, use this measure to find their way to a certain location;  find out what the weather forecast is; whats knew on the stock market;….etc…etc…..

It all adds up to the same ol' sad story of, why weren't my parents around when I was in need.  So here we go in a vicious circle of, “why aren't my parents around when I need them;  what is it I need to find, as apposed to hearing my parents lecture's or now being physically abused;  how come my schooling isn't teaching me what I need to know regarding the 'earth's cycle and flow of things…..etc..etc…”

I guess there are many factors as to why the cell phone has been such a big hit.  It gives more of, certainty, than any of an individual can come up with at the time.

“Growth,” comes in all ages……not just the young'ns!
If this is a taboo for the teens, then you bet it should be 'out-lawed for the grown -ups as well!

Great post, by the way<B

In general, how could we trust mobile industries, who get very rich from selling phones and who finance lots of studies about the dangers of radiation? Just like the big pharma industries, I wouldn't trust them. So when you look for information yourself in all different directions, it is rather easy to find out that, again, these techniques are very bad for our heatlh. Basically it is a beautiful communication idea, but as long as we keep on buying them as they are now, industries will not look for better alternative techniques. I kicked the thing out many years ago. And … most stuff that is bad for children is also bad for adults. But ok, the killing goes slower. 
If you're in doubt, ask nature.
I think nowadays it is more important than ever to find our own way to health, instead of trusting industries, medicine and governments to tell us what is good for us, because they failed again and again and have generally not the slightest idea about nature laws, nor a holistic vision. Nevertheless they know everything about money.

Take care,
Pieter

I think our bodies have adjusted to these frequencies! If however people continue to believe that this is harmful 
it probably will continue to be so (for those who believe it)/yes and for those that let mass consciousness decide for them. Yes there are many things out there we were told would harm us and we should be aware of - but - I think we all should decide ourselves what our beliefs are about those things. In my opinion the heart, our hearts, know more about all of this than our minds do. But these are all opinions, people's beliefs confirmed (by themselves) for them only and I think this is where the game began - of course if we don't believe in our bodies, our own personal power and all that - if we're not consciously choosing for ourselves - mass consciousness will do it for us.

But then these are just my opinions and beliefs …
there is no right or wrong
The outside is always a reflection of what's going on within
consciously speaking.

Dear Arena,
I try to understand your vision. You seem to think that your whole life is defined by what you believe. Although belief defines a lot, the facts remain. In the astral world, things adapt immediately to your beliefs, but in “this” world it takes more time and much more “belief” to just change things, especially when nature laws decide differently. If you take a knife and cut into your finger, it will take you a lot of belief to prevent you from being wounded. Our bodies are absolutely not yet adapted to the destroying powers of mobile phones, medicine, etc. It takes thousands of years. Please investigate and you will see that so many people are sick from stuff made by modern society, without even knowing or believing wherever it is coming from. Why would you believe anything while you could know? If you give your child a mobile phone, you are killing your child slowly. Whether you believe it or not. Just like our parents gave us sweets and other stuff that destroyed our teeth and health. Do you think the rising amounts of brain tumors is coming from belief? It is not. Please find out the facts for yourself. Belief makes you blind and can be deadly.
Whishing you all the light,
Pieter

Well that's where we disagree - I do believe these tumors are exactly that - in the beginning we were vulnerable to these things and our bodies reacted but I say again I think that's changed - we can however continue to believe that they are harmful - which makes sense if you don't have anything else to believe in - like the possibility of our bodies being able to adjust to this. I do 'believe' we create all this, we are the universe, we are nature, we are all that is - but have played this game of 'forget all that' for so long that just the thought of us being the creators can often make us doubt our sanity - since we rely so much on our minds to decide for us what is real and what isn't.Your opinion on this serves you the best and my opinion serves me - that is all - there's no need to agree on this.

Come on now guys, seriously, people say that everything causes cancer these days. Honestly, the risk of your kids getting cancer is about as high as anything happening to them at all. As a working mother, my husband and I have decided that in today's world, it's completely important for our kids to have cell phones to keep in touch with us. I feel so much more secure knowing exactly where my kids are all the time. I got them both a cheap Motorola W376 phone from Tracfone. Its cheap for my husband and I, and now as working parents we have the peace of mind to know our kids are secure, especially during the summer.
