Dear health-conscious reader,

We generally use them every day... They run our lives and are essential to communication, yet this study warns of cell phones' risk to your immune system and bone marrow. It could also pose a risk for developing cancer and Alzheimer’s. Take a look at this urgent report...

In the name of good health,

Cell phones emit electromagnetic radiation that kill brain cells associated with learning and memory, therefore triggering Alzheimer’s. This study was carried out in rats, but it’s important because we have very similar brains – same cells, neurons and blood-brain barriers – although they differ substantially in size! The rats were exposed to two hours of radiation equal to cell phone emission. The rats were examined 50 days later and a multitude of dead brain cells were found. The scientists further hypothesised that people who are prone to Alzheimer’s (through genetics, family history, increased age or poor lifestyle) may trigger it by exposing themselves to the radiation.

The studies are preliminary but the available data is striking and suggests that there are some minor changes that you can make, while waiting for prospective studies to give you concrete answers, to protect yourself from possible cell phone damage:

1. Curb calls inside buildings and use your phone in open spaces as often as possible
2. Limit: time spent on the phone and exposure to WiFi routers
3. Use a wired headset or speaker phone to limit your direct exposure
4. Limit cell phone use by children and pre-adolescents as much as possible. Emergencies only!

Let’s do everything we can to protect ourselves from yet another risk factor to our long term mental and physical health. It’s important to be cautious, because cell phones are relatively new to our lifestyles so we may not have the answers for at least another 10 years.
