The mobile industry seems to have largely shrugged 1 off concerns over the potential health risks of using mobile devices. But according to Dr. David Servan-Schreiber, it’s simply too early in the life of this now ubiquitous technology to be complacent 2 about its long-term implications.
We know that the studies that have been done so far to follow the health of people who use mobile phones are completely unable to answer the question of whether there’s a risk or not because they follow people for less than ten years, cause' mobile phones are such a recent technology. If you’ve had people smoke a pack of cigarette a day for ten years, you would see no effect on cancer rates because they take 15-35 years to manifest.
Servan Schreiber says after he published the book Anti-Cancer, he was contacted regularly by members of the public confused over the health implications of using mobile phones. So, he assembled a team of 20 top experts to look into the issue.
And we came to the conclusion that is very simple: one, electromagnetic fields from mobile phone penetrate 3 the body, and in particular the brain. They do so much more in children to degrees that are truly alarming, if you look at the figure of mobile phone penetration 4, it goes all the way through the brain of a 5-year-old, it goes only about this half, about this way, this deep in an adult brain if you have a phone here.
Servan Schreiber's Committee compiled a list of “Suggested Precautions” including:
Do not allow children under the age of 12 to use mobile phones except in the case of emergencies
Try to keep mobiles away from the body by using a hands-free kit 5 or speaker-phone mode
Avoid using phones when the signal is weak or when moving at high speeds
And Keep mobile conversations short
Servan Schreiber is a brain cancer survivor 6 himself; though he hastens to add，his cancer was diagnosed long before mobile phones went mainstream 7. He points out that even he has a mobile phone which he will continue to use. He says his warnings are merely meant to build awareness 8, so users and manufacturers can avoid a rude awakening 9 years down the line.
