Researcher William Thomas(1) presented his investigation into the health dangers of cell phones. "It's the most dangerous personal device ever invented," he declared, comparing cell phone use to smoking. He also cited dangers from cell phone towers which are irradiating everyone with "electromagnetic smog."
The main problem from the phones is not heat absorption (which is regulated by testing) but the microwave pulses which can cause disruption to human cells, Thomas noted. This can lead in the short term to headaches and sleep problems and in the long term to brain cancer, leukemia, and auto immune disease, he detailed. Thomas estimated that in about 5-8 years, we will likely see more instances of these serious illnesses as the long range damage sets in.
Using a headset doesn't alleviate the problem as the cord acts as an antenna which still irradiates the user, he said. Additionally, portable home phones that operate in the gigahertz range (2.4 â€" 5.6) are also a health risk, Thomas stated. He also discussed chemtrails, which he believes the government is secretly spraying in the skies, as part of a weather modification problem to combat global warming.

William Thomas raised a variety of issues(1) concerning the possible health hazards of cell phones. Sir William Stewart, a leading scientist in the U.K., recently urged parents to stop their children from using mobile phones, until more is known about their safety. It's thought that children might be more vulnerable to fields given off by such phones because of their thinner skulls and developing nervous systems. Read more in this article(2) from Times Online.
