Electromagnetic Radiation in Mobile Phones

By Byron Ash

Reports are being continuously published year by year regarding the effects of electromagnetic radiation amongst living creatures. Some studies show a tremendous impact, while others have little to no significant effect at all. It is true that in some animals, electromagnetic radiation has had a larger impact on their biological composition. But it is probably worthy of note that most of these animal's bodily compositions are simpler than our own.

But what of the effect of mobile phone radiation on us humans? We've seen rapid egg development in some animal species, we've seen creatures getting stressed and sometimes developing new diseases. Is there a possibility that even right now, there are hidden changes happening in our body because of the electromagnetic radiation surrounding us?

The effects of radiation are slowly being publicized into the innards of the population. An example? One study in Stockholm has linked mobile phone radiation with brain tumor development and acoustic neuroma. This study has apparently described that mobile phone users are more prone to these ailments by up to four times in the side that they use their phone for. There's twice the risk for non users to develop benign lumps and tissue masses. The overall population used in the study was twice that of the regular ones.

Acoustic neuroma has been observed more with the ears that is used for listening to the mobile. Though of a lesser degree when comparing it to brain tumor, this disease is like a stepping stone for leukemia if left untreated. Symptoms can cause a lot of difficulty, like loss of balance, loss of hearing and development of noise in the background. Sometimes, the growth in the ear can cause unnecessary pressure in the brain, making for discomfort and pain.

Mobile radiation does not directly attack the brain, because the brain barrier is present. It is a highly sensitive form of protection that can be breached by caustic protein and toxic material that normally wouldn't be able to enter. This could cause brain damage and facilitate the development of tumors as well.
