Cordless Phones Increase Your Brain Cancer Risks

The base stations of some home-use cordless phones give off two times as much radiation as cell phone poles. As well as, not like cell phones, cordless phone base stations give off radiation even when they are not in use.

It means that several cordless phones could be a brain tumor risk.

The British Health Protection Agency has also admitted that there is an increased association between acoustic neuromas -- a type of ear tumorthat can cause deafness -- and electromagnetic fields of the type emitted by these telephones. A study has shown that the risk of cordless phone users developing acoustic neuromas doubles over the course of a decade.The environmental group Powerwatch has recommended that cordless phone users switch to a different type of phone.

 Dr. Mercola's Comment:Cell phones aren't the onlytypes of phonesthat are hazardous to yourhealth. Your home cordless phonescan beeven more dangerous than your cell phone.

As for cell phones themselves, because of the recognized effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs), I used to depress their use entirely. Then, with the coming of headsets, my once stringent suggestion relaxed a little, as headsets do help to lessen your EMF exposure.

However,one of the hottest newgadgets,Bluetooth headsets that allow you to talk wirelessly to your cell phone, may be the worst of the bunch.

Because theheadsets areso new there are no studies on them yet. However, we have done some preliminary EMF measurements and found them to have some serious concerns. When in use they measure over 100 milligauss. Acceptable ranges should be 3 or less.

What makes these even worse, however, is that this radiation is basically in the middle of your head as several of these headsets are inserted deeply in your ear canal.

So anon-Bluetooth headset is preferred but even here you needto be cautious. While hands-free devices have been found to reduce radiation from cell phones, emissions can still travel up the headset wire and intoyour head.

It is essential to recognize that virtually every headset out there may in fact increase the radiation exposure to your brain by serving as an antenna. If you or your kids use a cell phone it is very important that you protect them with simple and low-priced new technology that can transform your dangerous headset into an oasis safe from dangerous cell phone radiation.

So please, please, please, look after your family from this potentially dangerous radiation:
· Your best bet is to get a speakerphone and use it, as the radiation risk is almost zero.

· Alternatively you could use one of these safe headsets that allows you to talk with virtually no radiation exposure as long as you keep the phone away from your body.
