I am concerned with health issues from cell phone usage

For me yes it is a big case to be with by using cellphone so be use your left side ear when answer the cellphone when it is ringing because the brain is in the right side.

I do not have any worries. I do have a land line because with cell phones, you have to pay by the minute after the free usage that you paid for every month. That makes it expensive if you get bothered with telemarketers (some that are not on the do not call list) and also if you have to pay for the text messages sent as well as received. But getting back to health issues. I was told that if you switch the cell phone from your usual ear to the other one, and do not keep it near your body - i.e. if you have it in your purse, keep it facing outside, make sure it is not close to any important part of your body, you will be all right. The trouble is with ear pieces, they draw attention to yourselves. They say I am a techie and I have a cell phone and I am important because only important people have ear pieces. I think if you limit your children's use of a cell phone to only a few minutes a day that should work. Personally I believe that children should not use a cell phone until they are teenagers unless it is an emergency. Mainly because of the cost.

I think that you have good reason to be a little concerned about your cell phone usage, as it has been linked to cancer from the radiation. This is one of the many reasons that I prefer to text rather than call people when I feel the need to talk to them. If you do this, then the phone is not anywhere near your brain so you won't be at as high risk as you would if you called people. I think that the manufacturers of mobile phones would do well to take a look at what's causing this radiation and try to reduce it, as a lot more people would probably use their mobile phones.

Hello there. Yes, cellphone have been a lot of issues regarding health. Cellphone is having what you called radiation that causes cancers. If your cellphone is always touching your body, then it might cause some massive trouble with your health. I think having earphone, what you're saying, is somewhat can help to prevent that. If we are calling, or somebody is calling to us through cellphone, then its much better to use earphone so that cellphone's radiation won't touch on our head which is prone of radiation. Maybe starting no, I will always bring my earphone so that I can try what you're suggesting. Thanks.

I am really glad that I am more fond of texting rather making and answering calls. It is indeed dangerous and is already a proven health treat. It is even suggested that u should never used it on calls where the signal is low since the pick up of the radiation is much stronger and that children under 10 years of age is more vulnerable.

I would just want to clarify what gidz said.. or what you stated.. no matter if you use headphones or not, the radiation will still enter your body. Land line is safe because they are not wireless, and because of that, they have other sources of transferring the said energy to the receiver. Unlike cellphones, we use them wirelessly. for example you site A=====B======C "A" is a place where your friend is using his phone, trying to text "C". You Are "B" you are caught in between the transferring of their signals, and this is the first, although less radiation will enter your body, but it still enters.. "A" and "C" might be your neighbor, even if you don't use cellphones, you are still prone to radiation because of your surroundings.. Radiation wave can't be seen by the naked eyes. if you're using a WIFI internet connection, then my friend, it is just like using a cellphone.. Radiation enters your body, and mutate a specific region in your tissue, which affects your cells.. the mutated cells then becomes what we called cancer cells.. No matter how far you are, No matter if you stop using it.. you are still prone to it.

The vicious effects of excessive cell phone use is yet to be realized. No doubt in the longer run the possible radiation effects would be disastrous to human environment.

If your cell phone actually emits enough radiation to damage the body, isn't adding an earpiece worse? I mean, you'd have the cell phone in a pocket, emitting radiation all the time, PLUS a thing in your ear all the time, doing its own emission? Just turn the phone off. It's a far better solution.

I am not sure that it has been proven yet that cell phones lead to health issues later in life. I don't use mine too often so I guess I will be okay. But certainly something they need to continue to research as there are those who live with it almost attached to their ear.

cell phone issue is large thing in today life.using cell phone is not only causes health issues but also causes for the destruction of trees and animal.so we should uses cell phone in a very caring way with ear piece.

I don't know if I heard the news right but I think brain tumors are caused by rapid using of headphone or earpiece. Using headphones whole day and everyday is very dangerous to our health because aside but deafness it can also led to brain tumor and possibly shut down other parts of the body. Maybe another thing is having poor eyesight because of the screen light but aside from these things I didn't know any other health issues of using cellphones.

Yes I agree with you. Because of using cell phone very much in our day to day life many health problems are also arising.Teenager are using cellphone more than adults because they don't understand its disadvantages.
