What is your opinion about the affirmation that mobile phones can cause brain tumor?

How can the heat and radio waves be good for you brain. Just buy yourself a hands-free and you will be set.

mobile phones use the spectrum below the visible wave length  (  and below IR  ) . those frequencies have low energy typically (though MW is used for cooking...) and are not considered of the ionizing radiation type, which is on the other side of the spectrum ( above UV ). For example: X rays, Gamma rays, etc'...which are definitely dangerous. Nonetheless I'd use a cautious approach and common logic when using any radiating device which has only been around for a few years . if there are negative effects we shall see them years from now on the "heavy users" of cell phones...\nanother issue is that those tumors i guess you're referring to occur because of DNA braking up during transcription by exposure to ionizing radiations ( which has a short enough wave-length ) , that could most definitely NOT occur with your cell phone!\n\nso my answer is - NOT LIKELY.

I AGREE with you, people would probably die if they couldn't talk on the phone while driving. VERY unsafe. They should have an automatic device that interfers with cell phone while driving if you use it. \n\nAnd THANK YOU SO MUCH for being nice about my detroit football question others see fit to be idiots, it's nice to know that there are nice intelligent people out there.

Male Status Symbols:\n Men have a tendency to display their cell phones more proudly, using them to display their aggression in front of other men, and almost like a mating ritual in front of women.\n\nDisturbance: \nAn unhappy and worried mental state.  The act of disturbing something or someone;Moreover the use of cell phone increases the disturbance in life, because at any time your cell phone can ring e.g. at your sleeping time, when you are attending an important meeting etc\n\nShow off : \nDisplay proudly; act ostentatiously or pretentiously. Every one wants to influence other by showing off their cell phones.\nCellular phone usage while driving is very dangerous because do to people misunderstanding and mistakes they got accidents some time people die at the spot. So cellular phone should be banned while driving\n\nWhile evidence remains inconclusive, there remain concerns about the frequent use of mobile phones on human health. The potential impact of the kind of electromagnetic fields generated by cellular phones on the human brain has received little attention until relatively recently, and it’s probably still much too soon to pronounce on the possible adverse effects of long-term exposure.\nIt is causing cancer as well as brain tumor also due to its radiations.

Most all of us have had trauma to the head at one time or another.  Since we are made to be healthy, thankfully, there are no serious consequences.  For some, the trauma is more drastic.  Even so, we recover and carry on.  I had a brain tumor.  That is traumatic.  But I took it in stride and there are no recognizable consequences whatsoever.

I don't think that it should be.  I often talk on the phone to actually stayed focus on driving, I get distracted by things in my purse, or playing with my hair, or the radio, ect... being on the phone keeps me focused on the road while my hand holds the phone to my ear.  People always know that I am on and know not to be insulted if the call ends abruptly.  I only use it responsibly and mostly for long distance driving. I have been in many more accidents than I would like to admit, and not one occured while I was on the phone!!  I've had more close calls without the phone than with also.\n\nCell phones are also excellent for helping people know where they are driving in areas that they are unfamiliar with.

The current use of electromagnetic radiation to treat brain tumors are gamma rays not x-rays.  gamma rays are smaller and even more energetic.  Doctors are using these rays like a knife without ever opening the skull.  They use very small amounts of gamma rays that converge on one place in the skull in order to kill the cells in just that location.  It is amazing that it is an outpatient procedure but the risk of not "getting it all" increases.

I love my cell phone and now I don't have a land line at home. Like anything, I think it can be abused or overused. I think its very rude to be dealing with a customer or walking with someone and be on the phone with someone else.

There are no (absolutely no) health risks involved with either one. That whole cancer scare was started by a guy whose wife died of brain cancer, and he blamed it on her cell phone. But people who eat carrots also die of brain cancer. And people who drive cars. And people who eat breakfast...  But you can't place blame on just anything. Your phone is safe, and independent research (i.e., by people who have no axe to grind) have shown no correlation.

Technically yes, since a "Tumor" means a "swelling" and a blow to the head can cause a bump. \n\nIf you, however, mean cancerous growth (which is probably what you are talking about), then no.

Author: John Moulder, Professor of Radiation Oncology, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee has this to say:\nWhile the laboratory evidence does not suggest a link between static magnetic fields and cancer, studies have reported that static magnetic fields do have "bioeffects", particularly at field strengths above 2000 milliT.  For more on what he has to say use this link:\nhttp://www.mcw.edu/gcrc/cop/static-fields-cancer-FAQ/toc.html#Q15

A bit drastic. But given that a lot of cell phone owners are incapable of simple courtesies like switching the ringtones off in lectures or other events and not answering their phone if they are in the middle of a conversation with somebody else,  it makes sense as an educational measure. \nNow people can start learning talking to each other directly instead of talking through a cell phone. People survived for a surprisingly long time without cellphones, if cell phones would all break down tomorrow it wouldn't be the end of the world.

you aren't gonna get brain cancer from one time.  It's not the charging part that causes it, it's the radiation from the phone that can cause brain cancer.  I don't know if it's actually been documented, but people who are on their cell phones 24-7 are at a higher risk for brain cancer than those who only use their cell phones sporadically. \n\nIf you're really worried about it, get a hands-free headset.  That'll help reduce the amount of direct radiation that you get from the phone.  But it's really not that big of a deal; electronic products all give off some sort of radiation.  I guess the biggest concerns are microwaves and cell phones.  But you don't need therapy or intensive help, unless you mean psychiatric help for your hypochondria.

People these days tend to rely too much on their cell phone and they let it interfere in daily life wayyyy too much.  For instance, I am a nurse, and when I go into a patient's room to discuss something with them or give them discharge instructions - I can't even guess how often the stupid cell phone goes off and suddenly it's the most important thing in the world.  It also tends to mess up social situations (like going off in a restaurant - it's really rude to pick up right there at the table).  It can also be a huge distraction when you're driving - how you ever gone down the road and looked at other drivers as you pass by?  It's amazing how many have a cell phone glued to their ear.

I'm suprised that she apologized. I have gotten my head bitten off by these cellhogs. I think it is ridiculous that someone spends hours and hours just mindlessly yapping. I am not sure if they think they are that important or just want everyone else to think that they are. I think cellphones should be automatically deactivated when you walk into a store, restaurant, movie.  Is anything really THAT important and if it is, maybe they should be at home taking care of it and not wandering aimlessly forcing others to be unwillingly participants in their drama.

All kind of things can cause cancer. To avoid to it would be best to have good genes and live in a sealed bubble.
