Brain tumors are on the rise in adults and have become the second leading cause of death among children.In 1993, a lawsuit was filed against the Cell Phone Industry by a man whose wife died of a brain tumor. The tumor was on the same side of her head where she held her cell phone and was shaped like the cell phone’s antenna. The man lost the suit.

In 1999, another lawsuit was brought against the Cell Phone Industry, this time by a neurologist from Maryland who was diagnosed with a brain tumor on the same side of his head where he held his cell phone. The suit was dismissed. Shortly after he died.

There have been countless studies conducted that show a direct link between the use of cell phones and brain tumors. One such study was done under the supervision of the World Health Organization (WHO). Dr. Lennart Hardell was head of the study conducted at the Orerbro Medical Center in Sweden. The study showed that people who used cell phones for less than 10 years faced a 20% higher risk of developing brain tumors. For those who used cell phones for over ten years, the risk of developing a brain tumor increased 80%. The study also found that brain tumors were 2.5 times more likely to be on the same side of the head on which the phone was held.

Dr. George Carlo was hired by the Cell Phone Industry to head a 30 million dollar research program whose purpose was to show that cell phones pose no health risk. After 6 years of research, Dr. Carlo could find no evidence that cell phones were not a health risk. In fact, his research showed that there was a direct link between cell phone radiation and cancer.

In Dr. Carlo’s own words:

“The big picture is disturbingly clear. There is a definite risk that the radiation plume that emanates from a cell phone antenna can cause cancer and other health problems. It is a risk that affects hundreds of millions of people around the world. It is a risk that must be seen and understood by all who use cell phones so they can take all the appropriate and available steps to protect themselves–and especially to protect young children whose skulls are still growing and who are the most vulnerable to the risks of radiation .”

There are currently seven class action lawsuits against the the Cell Phone Industry . The multi billion dollar Cell Phone Industry still claims cell phones pose no threat to your health.
