Although it has not yet been clearly proven that exposure to electromagnetic radiation (EMR) poses a danger to schoolchildren’s health, a joint session of the Knesset Interior and Labor, Social Affairs and Health committees declared on Monday that a program should be launched to minimize such exposure as a cautionary measure.

“I am deeply concerned about the experiment we are conducting on our children and grandchildren,” says the author of Disconnect: The Truth about Cell Phone Radiation, What the Industry has Done to Hide It, and How to Protect Your Family. “People are putting iPhones that play white noise under the pillows of babies to help them sleep. iPhones and babies are a horrifying combination.”

There’s growing evidence that cellphones cause damage to other cells besides brain cells in the biological system, said Dr. Devra Davis, who will be speaking about how cellphones hurt their users at a public seminar entitled Disconnect: The Truth About Cell Phone Radiation, What the Industry Has Done to Hide It, and How to Protect Your Family, at Congregation Machzikei Hadas at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow.

The buzz emanated from cell phones and WiFi devices. Or, more specifically, from the current debates – both local and global – surrounding these technologies. Not one to shy away from controversy, Dr. Davis tackled questions regarding the health affects of microwave radiation, cell phone use, wireless technology, as well as the widespread use of carcinogens in our society and around the world. Her tough stance and pragmatic approach garnered several rounds of spontaneous applause.

Cell phone use can increase risk for malignant brain cancer and other tumors, including acoustic neuromas and cancers of the salivary and parotid glands, according to Davis. She noted other studies that suggest cell phone use may be linked to memory loss, insomnia and inflammation, and to infertility in men. Cell phones alter brain waves in an electroencephalogram (EEG), a test that measures and records the electrical activity of the brain, Davis said.

“The fact that we don’t know everything about cell phones doesn’t mean that everything is fine,” says Devra Davis in her new book Disconnect: The Truth about Cell Phone Radiation, What the Industry Has Done to Hide It and How to Protect Your Family.
An environmental activist, cancer epidemiologist, author, and advocate for the precautionary principle, Davis maintains heavy cell phone use over many years may threaten one’s health. In an event to be held in Toronto on Monday, November 22, Davis will speak about her new book which is raising some serious issues and garnering much media attention.

Speaking with American epidemiologist Devra Davis might be hazardous to your health — at least if you’re using a cellphone.
Using the speaker mode on her phone, Davis pointed out that the fine print in manufacturers’ warnings that come with cellphones say to keep them up to an inch away from your body.
Not many people heed the warnings. That’s why she’s calling on all parties to support a private member’s bill that would warn Ontarians of potential danger of microwave radiation.
