Amazon | The much-anticipated, explosive expose of how cell phone use damages brain cells, especially in children, by one of the world’s foremost scientific experts in the field.
Devra Davis presents an array of recent and long suppressed research in this timely bombshell. Cell phone radiation is a national emergency. Stunningly, the most popular gadget of our age has now been shown to damage DNA, break down the brain’s defenses, and reduce sperm count while increasing memory loss, the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, and even cancer. The growing brains of children make them especially vulnerable. And half of the world’s four billion cell phones are used by people under twenty.
Davis, the founding director of the toxicology and environmental studies board at the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, takes readers through the dark side of this trillion-dollar industry. Health experts have long been frozen out of policy-making decisions about cell phones; federal regulatory standards are set by the cell phone industry itself. Cell phone manufacturers have borrowed the playbook of the tobacco industry. One secret memo reveals their war plan against reports of cell phone dangers.
Among a host of fascinating characters, Davis introduces Om P. Gandhi, a world expert on how cell phone radiation penetrates the human brain. Once a consultant to major cell phone companies, Gandhi now refuses to work with them. Franz Adlkofer led the multi-lab study that showed once and for all that brain cell DNA is unraveled by cell phone microwave radiation-and, as Davis dramatically portrays, it nearly cost him his career.
As this eye-opening call to action shows, we can make safer cell phones now. Why would we put our children at risk of a devastating epidemic of brain illness in the years to come?

Like most things in the world today, If it does not cause pain people will use it anyways until something bad happens to them or someone they love.

This book recommends using a headset to avoid cell-phone radiation. According to a British study (sorry, I can’t find the reference), a headset cable acts as an antenna and could actually increase exposure to radiation. A better options is using your cell phone in speaker phone mode or an air tube, along with microwave-screening material for the phone. See http://rfsafe.com. For cars, a rooftop antenna is best.

I agree with this comment. Headphone with wire connection is not advisable since the wire will act as antenna and will be harmful to others like secondary smoking. Moe research is needed , especially in the mobile antenna design which has radiation in one direction and in the opposite direction null point ( our institute CUSAT, India has demonstrated this)
