The controversy regarding mobile phones, WiFi and cordless phones continues with yet another article published in the Daily Mail on the 3^rd November titled “As new evidence links mobile phones to a greater risk of tumours, could using one cost your child their life?”The evidence and concerns are growing worldwide with more reports, more studies, and more doubts regarding the safety of the technology.  Lets be totally clear on this, I’m a great advocate of using new gadgets, new ideas to enhance all our lives. But I do draw the line to the fast rollout of this sort of technology without the necessary safeguards built-in regarding the possible side effects and long term dangers.

Whenever a new drug is developed there are extensive laboratory trials before the drug is even tested on humans. In the technology arena new products are launched with a tremendous amount of hype and publicity in double quick time. In some ways this reminds me cigarette advertising 50 years ago  – when the ad’s informed us that doctors recommend that we  smoke! – it’s now laughable when we look back. But today many academics and doctors are telling us about the possible dangers of pulsed microwave radiation. We should all take heed of this and minimise our exposure, in many cases this can be done without shutting ourselves away from the benefits of technology. 

Minimise cell phone use

Use a hands free or wired or airtube earpiece with your mobile
Switch off your WiFi router at night or when not needed
If you must use a cordless phone change to a low radiation Orchid cordless phone

These changes are easy to implement and can only have a positive effect. As I have said before, “I find if difficult to believe that pulsed microwave radiation is good for you!”.
