“There is enough evidence from many epidemiological studies that the use of cell phones for more than 10 years increases risk of cancer and brain tumor by more than 50 per cent,” said Dr Darius Leszczynski, in an interactiive session  held in India International Centre, New Delhi, on September 15. The session titled ‘Mobile Tower and Cell Phone Radiation — Perceptions, Threats and Solutions’, was jointly organized by Synergy Environics, an organization working upon relieving individuals and organizations from geopathic stress.

Talking about his research, he said that the human cells exposed to cell phone radiation in a
laboratory, activated a series of biochemical reactions in them known as ‘stress response’. “This means that the living cells recognise cell phone radiation as a potentially harmful agent. Stress responses are signals that intend to protect the living cell from any potential damage,” he explained. In a 2008 study conducted by his team, ten volunteers exposed a small area of their forearm to GSM signal for one hour. After that, pieces of the radiation-exposed skin and unexposed skin were collected and used for ‘proteomic analysis. In it, all proteins from the skin samples were extracted and compared. “After the analysis of nearly 580 proteins, we identified eight proteins which were statistically  affected and had changed after the exposure,” he added.

Worth a thought, surely?
