Cell phonesSix Inches From
Your HeadBy Dr. DaviD Walls-Kaufman
like growing numbers of chiropractors and doctorsaround the world, i’ve been warning about the risks
of cell phone radiation for years. now, i’m not so alone.The dangers of cell phone use are pretty clear when
independent researchers look at the likelihood of braintumors. Every study that has been able to analyze personswho have used phones heavily for a decade—includingthose done for industry—has found the same thing.
in fact, brain tumors can take three or four decades toform, and definitive patterns will not be evident in hu-mans until 2030. But, what about other neurologicaldiseases, i.e. lou Gehrig’s, multiple sclerosis, and moregeneral learning problems—all apparently rising todayaround the world? Could cell phone radiation play a rolehere?
my friend, and long-time Capitol Hill resident, award-winning, writer-researcher, Devra lee Davis, has foundedEnvironmental Health Trust(EHT)—a non-profit aimedat identifying and controlling important environmentalhealth hazards. Davis’s important new book, Discon-nect will be released at riverby’s in september and isalready gaining attention government and the researchcommunity. The mayors of san francisco, Jackson HoleWyoming and Bordeaux, france, have all taken this adviceto heart, as have governments in israel, finland and Eng-land and growing numbers of neurosurgeons, includingCnn’s sanjay Gupta and australia’s vinnie Karuna. Cellphones today are like cars—essential devices that must beused safely.
Our office provides information on the Campaign forsafer Cell Phones, as dose EHT’s web site www.environ-mentalhealthtrust.org.
