I bought this little book from Popular Store in Johore many years ago. I have tried very hard to educate my family and friends about the danger of using mobile phone but was not effective because everybody is using it. They even sleep with their mobile phone next to them. What danger! sign!!! deaf ear... as I am the only voice....Now I have more than one voicing the danger of mobile phone but can it be too late????
Below is an exerpt from the above booklet published by the Consumers' Association of Penang. If you want to read more get a copy yourself. God bless
How unsafe is your mobile phone?
Even schoolchildren use mobile phones these days, and ads are encouraging young children to use this modern lifestyle device too.
What many users don't realise is that they are putting a potent transmitter which emits microwave radiationthat affects every body system, against their heads day after day.
Prolonged regular use has been linked to memory loss, Parkinson's Disease, impaired immunity, kidney disease, birth defects, cancer and more in numerous studies.
The findings confirm the effects of very small energy sources on living things - that small amounts of energy when delivered in a targeted way can have the same effects as massive doses of chemicals.
Children are at greater risk as mobile phone radiation penetrates the skull and brains of children more deeply than adults.
More and more cellular sicknesses are continually being revealed in a growing body of scientific studies, which has renewed concern worldwide over the ues of mobile phones.
In 1998, 17 of the world's foremose independent scientists looking into the mobile phone helath debate, signed a resolution (1998 Vienna Resolution) agreeing that helath effects caused by low-level exposures to microwave radiation, particularly those emitted by mobile phones and their base transmitting stations, were scientifically established and undermined the validity of current safety guidelines
Even the WHO is taking the matter seriously. Noting that there will be 1.6 billion mobile phone users worldwide by 2005, the WHO is currently planning a study in at least 10 countries o examine links to head and neck cancer.

Unfortunately, the public is being denied access to the truth about mobil phones. Some of the world's radiation experts have openly reported that the industry tries to either cover up or manipulate the results of their research.
How much evidence on the harm of mobile phones must be shown before the industry admits to the risks?

Until mobile phones are proven to be safe, consumers should beware.CAP outlines some of the major health threats posed by mobile phones, uncovered in nurmerous studies around the world.
- Fry the brain & skin
- Higher cancer risks
- DNA & Immune system damage
- Birth Defects
- Raised Blood pressure
- Alzheimer's disease, multiple scleroiss & Parkinson's Disease
- Heart Disease & Kidney stones
- Decreased Sex drive, burning sensations &
- Poisons from your fillings
- Headaches, dizziness & concentration lapses
Young people appeared to be most a risk with the under 30s 3-4 times more likely to experience side-effects.
Penang consumer group calls for handphone ban
Users say the idea is 'ridiculous'
THE Consumers Association of Penang (CAP) wants users to say no to handphones.
04 June 2008
THE Consumers Association of Penang (CAP) wants users to say no to handphones.
But Malaysian users are saying no way.
Last week, CAP president S M Mohamed Idris said a study by neurosurgeon Vini Khurana showed that using handphones for more than 10 years could double the chances of getting brain cancer, reported The Star.
Calling for a ban on handphones, he also said that CAP had been against handphone use for many years.............http://newpaper.asia1.com.sg/printfriendly/0,4139,166497,00.html

Danger ... Cell Phones!
By Chris CarpenterCBN.com Program Director
Well, well, well, it appears that your humble scribe is not so crazy after all. About a year and a half ago I wrote an article called “The Wonderful World of Wireless Communication”. It detailed in great length my disdain for the cellular phone. Mostly anecdotal in nature, I chronicled my observations of the device that I declared would eventually contribute to the downfall of America.

Cancer Institute Warns of Cell Phone Risks
The head of a prominent cancer research institute has issued an unprecedented warning to his faculty and staff: Limit cell phone use because of the possible risk of cancer.
The warning came from Dr. Ronald B. Herberman, director of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute. Herberman says his warning is based on early unpublished data. He argues that people should take action now -- especially when it comes to children.
"Really at the heart of my concern is that we shouldn't wait for a definitive study to come out, but err on the side of being safe rather than sorry later," Herberman said.

Report from TODAY'S NEWSPAPER SINGAPORE 14TH AUGUST 2008
Radiation: Just how bad is it for us??
Doctor links mobile phone use to malignant tumours here, but other experts disagree
WELL-KNOWN neurosurgeon Keith Goh has seen an increase in the number of cases of malignant brain tumours and this is worrying him — especially as more and more are young adults, even children.
And his view on why this is happening goes to the heart of a long-raging controversy to which there are still no conclusive answers, and which divides fellow experts in Singapore: The effects of mobile phone radiation.
“It takes a few years for the tumours to develop, but there seems to be a good amount of evidence that the radiation that comes from the mobile phone contributes toward the development of brain tumours.
“I think we are at this stage in time just seeing the tip of the iceberg,” said Dr Goh, best known to the public for his role in operations to separate conjoined twins: Nepalese pair Ganga and Jamuna Shrestha in 2001, and in 2003, Iranians Ladan and Laleh Bijani as well as a pair of Korean twins.
Since he began practising neurosurgery in the 1990s, brain tumour cases were mainly in those 50 years and above. Today, he is seeing more adults in their 20s to their mid-40s, among both his local and foreign patients. In the last four months alone, Dr Goh has seen 12 new cases — the youngest aged two and four.
And this is not because detection has improved, he says. If it was, “we would be seeing more patients with small tumours but these are large tumours”. He estimates that a decade ago, 30 per cent of brain tumours would be malignant; now, it’s 50 per cent.
Dr Goh is not the only expert who is concerned. Last month, the director of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, Dr Ronald Herberman, urged staff to keep phones always from their heads and to let children use them only in emergencies.
In a memo, he said: “We shouldn’t wait for a definitive study to come out, but err on the side of being safe rather than sorry.”
‘No concrete link’
Dr Goh is holding a forum here onAug 23 on worldwide brain cancer incidence, its relation to mobile phone use and treatments. But his opinion — that there is a strong correlation with increased mobile phone usage — hardly represents a consensus, and various research studies worldwide have come to conflicting conclusions.
Neurosurgeon in private practice Ng Puay Yong, for one, thinks we should not worry as there is “no concrete data to show this (link)” between health and electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones.
Dr Ng said he has not seen any significant increase in the number of patients who come to him with brain tumours. The National Neuroscience Institute also has not seen a growth in the 150 or so brain tumour cases it gets each year.
From the physics point of view, Assistant Professor Vitali Zagorodnov, from the Nanyang Technological University’s School of Computer Engineering, feels “there’s no good reason why mobile phones should cause brain tumours”.
After all, the radio waves received and emitted by, say, television sets and microwave ovens are similar to that given out by mobile phones, he said. “There is no interaction between the radio-magnetic field and human tissue.”
The World Health Organization (WHO) should soon unveil the results of its own four-year study. But meanwhile, it states on its website that “current scientific evidence” signals that exposure to radiofrequency (RF) fields, emitted by mobile phones and their base stations, “is unlikely to induce or promote cancers”.
Solid proof too late?
Even so, 54 engineering and medical scientists worldwide have signed the Venice Resolutionexpressing worry about the effectsof electromagnetic fields on health.
While Dr Goh acknowledges that current research is only “suggestive”, he argues: “This is reminiscent of the early days of discussions over whether tobacco was harmful and could it cause cancer, as well as the concerns over asbestos and lead in products ... Solid proof is too late when you have malignant tumour.”
The theory is that heat — generated by electromagnetic radiation when a mobile phone is in use — causes cell damage that results in brain tumours. Increasing exposure to RF waves from base stations could also have an effect.
But other factors have also been cited in relation to brain tumours, such as consuming fried bacon and smoking. Cancer in other parts of the body can also spread to the brain.
Health risk or not, Singaporeans could find it difficult to live without a mobile phone, given that the nation has one of the highest rates of mobile penetration. All mobile phones used here are tagged with Specific Absorption Rate values — a measurement of the amount of RF energy absorbed by the body when using a mobile phone — and comply with the WHO’s recommended exposure standard.
