A recent scientific study identified a link between microwave radiation of the kind emitted by cellular phones and two different kinds of damage to the eye. At least one type of damage apparently never heals.
When the eyeis exposed for a prolonged time to microwave radiation, thereis large-scale damage to the optical quality of the lens. But there seemed to be a maximum level to this kind of damage, and when the exposure stops, the damage begins to heal.
However, at the same time, a different kind of damage occurs at the microscopic level. Tiny "bubbles" appear on the surface of the lens. This kind of damage reaches no maximum level, but instead accumulates progressively, and it did not heal even after the experiment stopped. It was theorized that the bubbles were caused by friction between cellsthat were exposed to the radiation.

Dr. Mercola's Comment:
How To Crack The Cell Phones Maze And Get The Best Mobile Phone Deal For You! It is a fact that Cell phones have become a necessity of life for many people. And that they can hardly remember (assuming they are old enough to remember!) when they didn t have a cell phone almost permanently glued to the side of their head! Still, it is not surprising. Cell phones give us a means of communication in the car, on vacation, at work, and anywhere else. They are incredibly convenient. So, finding the right cell phone and cell phone plan that works for you is essential, but also somewhat overwhelming with the myriad of choices in phones, companies, and plans. So, how do you make ..
Electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation from cell phones is a topic that provokes a good deal of controversy. Many experts believe that the radiation is too low-level to cause harm. However, they often base this on an examination of thermal or heat-related effects. The danger from cell phones is far more likely to originate in the low-intensity pulsed microwave radiation that the phones emit.
There is a growing body of evidence that long-term exposure to this kind of cell phone radiation can indeed be a danger. As well as these studies showing they can affect the sensitive cells of your eyes, there has been research indicating that it can cause: Brain cancer Tumor growth on the auditory nerve Possibly Alzheimer's disease Many other potential problems.
Fortunately, the danger decreases exponentially the farther the cell phone is from your body. If you have a cell phone, I strongly recommend you use a headset, and keep the phone itself well away from your body.
Although that reduces the radiation risk considerably, some emissions can still travel up the headset wire and into the head. Probably the best solution is to get a cell phone with a good speaker phone and always use it. Keeping the phone as far away from your body is the ideal solution.
Best Buy Cell Phones They Are As Good As It Gets, The Best Is As You Like It
It is easier to choose a lover, these days. Joking apart, choosing a cellular phone is tough. With so many models and features, not to mention an offer here and a discount there-the task is positively Herculean. Mobiles will come and go; a phone will be the toast of a season, another will take its place. Before you get confused figuring out the best, let us get the cat out of the bag. Best buy cell phones do not exist. Each mobile is as good as it gets. The best is What You Decide, i.e., what best suits your needs and budget.
However, some simple pointers can make your hunt for best buy cel ..
For many of you this is simply not very practical, so I recommend attaching the newair cell phone headsets that we have just introduced. If you use a cell phone without the speaker phone feature, then this is simply a must. There is no excuse to not use this technology, which virtually eliminates all the dangers of using a cell phone.
There are also, of course, more commonplace dangers to using cell phones. If you use one while driving your car, you increase your chance of having an accident by up to 400 percent. Worldwide, auto accidents account for 23 percentof all deaths from injury, which comes to over 1 million deaths each year. At the same time, cancer, another deadly cell phone risk, has surpassed heart disease in America as the leading cause of death for those under 85. It kills over 1,500 people every day in the United States alone.
Every year, more and more people are switching to cell phones. Many are now using cell phones as their only phone, especially among younger people, who could be exposing themselves to EMF radiation and other risks over a period of decades.
Please avoid having yourself become a statistic. If you use a cell phone at all, wear a headset with a ferrite bead, don't use the cell phone in the car, and in general try to minimize your cell phone use.
