Having used a cell phone for the better part of 5 years I do wonder what the long term effects of holding this antenna to my head every day are. This double PH.D Neurosugeon thinks the risks are high after researching all of the the most recent studies done - some of which where done by the cell phone companies themselves.

"Widespread, unchecked use of mobile telephones could potentially pose a greater threat to human health than asbestos or smoking, according to a Canberra neurosurgeon.

Vini Khurana held a 14-month investigation into the link between heavy, long-term use of mobile telephones and the development of malignant brain tumours, reviewing more than 100 international studies on the subject."

Here is an interesting statistic

"The Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States (CBTRUS) has recorded an approximately 15% increase in the incidence of primary brain tumours between the period 1998-2002 compared with the period 1990-1994. This increase has all been in the “MRI” age of the USA, a fact that suggests that the increase is not due to “better detection” or “earlier reporting”, since MRI was widely available in the US during this period of time."
