GOOD INFORMATION - AVAILABLE ON LINE..... CELL PHONE RADIATION DANGERS: Most doctors and surgeons still aren’t making the connection between breast cancer and cell phone radiation. But two women have recently brought this connection to the attention of medical professionals. Both women were diagnosed with breast cancer and had to have mastectomies. At the age of 39, Donna Jayes was diagnosed with breast cancer. Doctors found there were no genetic predispositions or other risk factors and were puzzled—especially as Donna is Asian, and breast cancer is typically less common in women of Asian heritage. Also breast cancer generally happens in women in their 50s and 60s. But after studying Donna’s situation more closely, two cancer specialists, Robert Nagourney and John West, finally ascertained that Donna had had the habit for about 10 years of tucking her phone into her bra. They concluded that this had likely caused her breast cancer. “We connected the dots”, Donna said. And the dots were quite literally the pattern of the cancer and distribution of the cancerous cells: they lined up perfectly with the shape of her cell phone where she had kept it. Tiffany Franz, at the age 21, is another woman who had her breast removed. She had tucked her cell phone in her bra for only 6 years, in just the same way. PHONE-RELATED BREAST CANCER LIKEY COMMON: Breast surgeon, Lisa Bailey, has surmised that phone-related breast cancer may be common. Doctors don’t generally think about cell phone radiation being a cause. “There’s no evidence [that cell phone radiation causes breast cancer], but that’s because we haven’t studied it.” She added that she would never wear a cell phone immediately next her body and would advise all women not to do that. Surgeon John West concurs and stated that men are also getting breast cancer by putting phones in shirt pockets. EVEN CELL PHONE MANUALS GIVE A WARNING: Even though the wireless industry continues to claim that cell phones are safe to use and carry, if we look closely at the fine print in cell phone manuals, we’ll see that most of them warn us to keep the phone at least 5/8” away from the body. Independent researchers state that the 5/8” distance the industry indicates is a gross under-estimation of the safety standard that should be warned about; but it’s telling that even cell phone manuals make an indication that there may be danger in cell phone use.
