I have several Google alerts setup to notify me when there is a new study release dealing with EMF and cell phone radiation. I take the study results pretty serious and go out of my way to understand what it all means in lay terms. Basically, most of the studies I’ve seen are inconclusive and summarize their studies with a statement that portrays very low risk. The justification of these portrayals is typically given by an easy to understand comparison between cell phone radiation levels and radiation levels given off by other common objects that have been around us for years. An example would be comparing radiation levels of TV’s, the sun, or power lines to the inconsequential amounts from the average cell phone. 

So, if cell phones produce hardly any radiation, there should be no problem; correct? Not exactly… I’ve realized that there's something seriously wrong with most of these studies. They're missing a variable in their logic... unfortunately; the variable that they're missing happens to be the only part of the equation that truly matters. This missing key in determining an epidemiological link between radiation and humans is…

First, let me put this unknown variable into perspective. The most radioactive thing that people can think of is the sun... and the great thing about the sun (the reason I like it so much) is its distance away from (me) us. If the sun were too far away or too close, trust me, we’d all hate the sun. Even at its current distance, we experience many problems with its radiation. So, there's your unknown variable! Distance, Distance, Distance! We can live with this huge explosion of gas and killer radiation because it’s far enough away.

What would be the inverse of this analogy? Answer: A small object that emits a tiny amount of radiation with zero distance. Zero distance means that this object is really close (sometimes touching the side of your face). For those of you that are a bit dim, I’m talking about a cell phone next to your head.

I can’t think of any radiation emitting object that modern humans regularly come in intimate contact with other than a cell phone. Can you think of any device that emits radiation (even a tiny bit) that you carry around with you and press against your head very day?

Anyways, distance and time is the key to getting any meaningful study results. Time is being used more and more and we are finally seeing cohorts over 10 years (and some study results are even contradicting previous findings). The only problem with time is that we may not have a lot of it to waste (if this is going to become an epidemic). Please consider this quote from the Mayo Clinic's website: “The number of brain tumors diagnosed each year is increasing. There's evidence the increase has been occurring for decades. But it's not clear why.” http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/brain-tumor/DS00281

I am seeing a lot of comments online by people that somehow know for a fact that there’s no link between brain tumors and cell phones. To you I say; you’re either dead wrong or dead right. I'm positive that the answer right now is maybe. And "maybe" scares the crap out of me. If you haven't seen what a grade 4 brain tumor does to a human being, trust me; it's unbelievably sad. Be careful and warn others.
