"Driving on, we called them on our cell phone to make sure they were safe. Elect Star picked up. I told her that a massive bonfire appeared to be burning right outside their building. She went out to look but came back to the line a moment later, claiming that she saw nothing. For miles, we kept catching glimpses of the fire glowing in the distance. Perhaps it was one of those mysterious wildfires that inexplicably burst to life in remote desert regions, or some sort of pyrotechnical ploy staged by the Children of Light to recruit us or maybe it was a sign from God." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"With or without a headset, every time you put your cell phone up to your head, you expose your brain to the danger of radiation. While there are numerous conttadic-tory reports as to the overall effect of cell phones on out health, there is a growing body of evidence that cell phones affect multiple facets of your brain function, behavior, and health in general. When our immune system is weak, we are more susceptible to the damage incurred by the waves." - KC Craichy, Super Health 7 Golden Keys to Unlock Lifelong Vitality (Get the book.)

"A Food Calculator When You Need One If you ever want to calculate the amount of sugars, carbs,and trans fats in more than one serving of a packaged food, flip open your cell phone. Nearly all cell phones have built-in calculators. Learn to use yours. Calories and Calories from Fat The number of calories refers to one serving size that, again, may be unrealistically small. For example, a two-quart (64-ounce) Coca-Cola Classic defines one serving as 8 ounces, which provides 100 calories and 27 grams of sugars. Eight ounces, however, is less than the amount in a can of Coca-Cola." - Jack Challem, Stop Prediabetes Now: The Ultimate Plan to Lose Weight and Prevent Diabetes (Get the book.)

"Or program your new cell phone. What you're looking to do is lift your mood. Sure, it helps if you can find an activity you enjoy, something that not only lifts your mood out of the gutter, but also brings you joy, fascination, or pride. But distractions can also be neutral. So long as they keep you from ruminating—from thinking too much—they'll fit the bill. Fairly neutral activities can break the cycle of rumination and allow you to step out of your downward spiral." - Barbara Fredrickson, Positivity: Top-Notch Research Reveals the 3 to 1 Ratio That Will Change Your Life (Get the book.)

"When you talk on your cell phone, your voice is transmitted from the antenna as radio frequency radiation (RFR) between 800 MHz and 1,990MHz—a frequency within the range of microwave radiation. Depending on how close the cell phone antenna is to your head, between 20 and 60 percent of the radiation emitted is transferred to and penetrates your head. With or without a headset, every time you put your cell phone up to your head, you expose your brain to the danger of radiation." - KC Craichy, Super Health 7 Golden Keys to Unlock Lifelong Vitality (Get the book.)

"The development of the cell phone marked a major turning point in world history. The significance of this event was immediately apparent. But not everyone welcomed it. In 1982, Henry Allen of the Washington Post wrote: At the top of the Washington Monument, a telephone is ringing. It may be the death knell of what, if anything, remains of civilization in this city." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"Better Safe Than Sorry But even though I believe wholeheartedly that the navigation system of airplanes doesn't have a darn thing to fear from a cell phone (and that a pregnant woman has not a darn thing to fear from eating natural food containing vitamin A a few times a week), I still keep my cell phone off when I fly. I mean, just in case ..." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What You Should Eat and Why (Get the book.)

"One reputable company that has devices to help keep radiation from the head of cell phone users is Biopro. For information, contact Dr. Dan Harper at 858-259-5945, ashuharper@hotmail.com or www.mybiopro.com/drdan. Finally, negative thinking, including worrying, reacting, resentment and anxiety, creates an acidic condition within the body. Work on dealing with stress without triggering the fight-or-flight response, and create a positive attitude and an alkaline effect. Gratitude for whatever you have is a powerful and fast route to positivity." - Susan E.

"What's a cell phone going to do to me? We don't know." He holds his phone to his ear questioningly as though he might hear an answer or, perhaps, the ocean. Part of what makes Snyder's contrivance so compelling is the secrecy with which he discusses it. His answers are peppered with talk of pending patents, levels of confidentiality and intellectual property issues. "We're in experimental lockdown," he says. "I have to tiptoe around what I'm saying and hem and haw about what information is released. My partners and I have signed over one hundred fifty NDAs [nondisclosure agreements] on this." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"No link between brain cancer and cell phone use and illness has yet been proved, but it makes sense to be cautious. The electromagnetic waves from a cell phone are supposed to meet government guidelines, but this is uncharted territory. It is best to err on the side of caution. There are numerous products on the market that contain an earpiece and attached microphone that allow you to keep the telephone itself some distance from your body. þ If you use a computer and sit in front of a monitor all day, use a radiation/glare filter screen." - Phyllis A.

"Don't use a cell phone and drive at the same time. If you insist upon talking while you drive, use a headset that allows sound to travel by air rather than by wires into your ear.

"This became the most basic mode of communication, at a time when cell phone signals were too weak to support spoken messages. SEA-EAT bloggers aggregated firsthand accounts, reports, and pictures of the devastation from bloggers who happened to be in the affected zone. At the same time, they captured other stories and statistics as they evolved and were published by other new sources, including a page started on Wikipedia by one person, which today has evolved into the best overall record of the disaster." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.) "Imagine a cell phone that monitored your location using networked surveillance sensors within the phone, and sent text messages to help you keep track of others. This is the premise behind LOCA: Location Oriented Critical Arts, a Finnish project that explores the use of consumer gadgets as nodes for monitoring networks. The idea could be both sinister and constructive; LOCA's projects test both sides of the fence. If the idea of being tracked stirs uneasiness, there are other great applications for sensing technologies." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.) "Instead of extending a thumb or waving down a cab, the rider would use a cell phone to enter her location (assuming the phone didn't already know it) and desired destination. The system would alert drivers who were headed in the same direction that a rider was nearby. Concerns over safety would be the biggest obstacle to such a system. Hitchhiking— once a common, utilitarian practice, and later a rather romantic undertaking—is now considered risky by both riders and drivers alike." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.) "A female staff member was hijacked, assaulted, and robbed of her computer and cell phone. Fortunately, EQUITAS was already using Martus —all the files on the worker's computer were encrypted and saved on the remote server, and her attackers got none of EQUITAS's precious information. Martus is available for download (www. martus.org) in English, Spanish, Arabic, French, Russian, Thai, Nepali, and Persian versions, and so far people from over seventy countries have installed the program. The Thai version is being used to help Southeast Asian groups document human rights abuses in Myanmar." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"Try to avoid talking on your cell phone while walking, though, because the distraction will slow down your pace. By week 3, you might be able to include small amounts of starchy foods, such as brown rice or part of a baked sweet potato with your meals. If you have a problem limiting yourself to small portions, however, it's best to hold off eating such foods for at least two more weeks." - Jack Challem, Stop Prediabetes Now: The Ultimate Plan to Lose Weight and Prevent Diabetes (Get the book.)

"Hypershine Mini cell phone Lip Gloss Charms ($5) are sold as mini versions of the Hypershine Lip Gloss above. They have a different formula that's more emollient but not glossier. The set presents eight glosses with an overcap that can be attached to any shade so it can be worn as a charm (or added to a key ring). This is primarily a teen-appeal product, but is an option for adults who want a tiny gloss to tuck into an evening bag." - Paula Begoun and Bryan Barron, Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me, 7th Edition (Get the book.)

"The same might be done with the latest brand of chocolate chip cookie, deodorant, low-carb beer, or cell phone. The genius and the insanity of our system run like that, and most of us participate in it, for better and for worse. Yet in the case of pharmaceuticals, we are talking about something fundamentally different. These are potent, sophisticated chemical compounds, developed at the cost of hundreds of millions of dollars, vetted by leading scientists for safety, and then very carefully indicated for use only with the supervision of a physician. These products actually change our body." - Greg Critser, Generation Rx: How Prescription Drugs are Altering American Lives, Minds, and Bodies (Get the book.)

"Sometimes the parts are large, like in an automobile, and sometimes infinitesi-mally small, like in a cell phone. But no matter their size, the one thing they have in common is they die. And then what happens? Machine Mortality Across the United States and Europe, there is growing recognition that the dynamic of construction and destruction embodied in those marvelous Tinguely machines is not a simple metaphor. Electronic waste is emerging as one of the central challenges of our era. Plug something into a wall or a battery and wonderful things can happen." - Mark Schapiro, Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What's at Stake for American Power (Get the book.)

"Until I flipped open my cell phone and actually started to dial the number, she did not budge. Talk about "sheep" mentality! Eli Lilly recognized that depression and diabetes go hand-in-hand.6 Diabetics know that a hypoglycemic event triggers a bout of depression. What a unique marketing opportunity for Lilly. Force diabetics to use a labile insulin, almost certain to trigger hypoglycemic events, then sell the hell out of your best-selling antidepressant, Prozac! If the insulin doesn't kill 'em, maybe the Prozac will." - Brent Hoadley, Ph.D., Too Profitable to Cure (Get the book.)

"I wholeheartedly believe that within a year of the publication of this book, the cell phone ban on planes will be a thing of the past.) What does this have to do with vitamin A and pregnancy? Simple. There were some very early studies on mice that showed that vitamin A was associated with fetal abnormalities, and based on this, women have been advised for years that large doses of vitamin A could be toxic, especially to their unborn child. And just in case they're right, no one who's pregnant is going to take a chance. I don't blame them." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What You Should Eat and Why (Get the book.)

"In 2004, other Swedish researchers found that long-term cell phone users had significantly more tumors on the auditory nerves than nonusers.8 The study of chronic health problems is hardly as simple as we often presume.9 We notice that most people with lung cancer have been smokers, or that many women over sixty who get breast cancer have used hormone replacement therapy. We deduce that a single condition gave rise to a single outcome, even though we know that life is not so simple." - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.) "ZORBA THE GREEK Whenever someone calls your cell phone and asks if it's you on the other end, you know something's wrong. My brother Stan's voice had more urgency than usual. "Hello, Dev? Is that you? I've got news. It's not good." "What's going on? You sound just awful," I said. My methodical, mostly unflappable brother was taking his time. This was not because he wanted to, but because he had to. "It's Mom. She has inoperable cancer. It's spread from her stomach to her liver." - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.)

"I dialed the office number on my cell phone to retrieve my voicemail messages. The Surprise The first message was from our CEO, Fred Hassan. Such a voice-mail wasn't unusual in and of itself. Fred was an avid communicator, and he regularly sent voicemails and e-mails to all employees, telling us about the business and how we were doing. He was thought of by Pharmacia employees as one of the few enlightened leaders in the pharmaceutical industry. He also had an excellent reputation outside of Pharmacia, a company that Fred had saved when he became CEO back in 1997." - Peter Rost, The Whistleblower: Confessions of a Healthcare Hitman (Get the book.)

"You know how when you go on an airplane they sternly warn you not to use your cell phone? Well, just about every engineer I asked and every responsible scientific article Fve read on the subject is unequivocal about the fact that nothing you buy at Radio Shack is going to bring down a 747 jetliner. There just isn't any danger. But no one is going to "take a chance" becauseyKit in case they're wrong, the damages could be so great that no one's willing to risk it." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What You Should Eat and Why (Get the book.)

"While driving, she also talked on her cell phone, sipped a soft drink, opened mail, or searched for a better song on her radio or CD player. Was she multitasking? No. She was addicted to impulsive behavior and couldn't focus on only one thing. It often got her into trouble. At work, her boss complained that she was always too distracted to complete tasks, and during the previous year, she had been in two fender benders because she wasn't paying attention to traffic. Josh felt totally stressed by work." - Jack Challem, The Food-Mood Solution: All-Natural Ways to Banish Anxiety, Depression, Anger, Stress, Overeating, and Alcohol and Drug Problems--and Feel Good Again (Get the book.)

"Why lump all users together, putting those who might have made a single cell phone call a week with those who used the phones more often? Why stop collecting information on brain tumors in 2002, when we know that brain tumors often take decades to develop and be diagnosed? When you are looking at a large population to find an effect, generally the more people you study, the better your chance of finding something." - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.)

"If you're using your cell phone or opening mail while driving, you are not being mindful—you are distracted, and that increases your risk of injuring yourself or other people in an accident. As another example, many men see sexual intercourse as the payoff for being romantic. This view focuses on one end result and prevents men from being in the moment. If you are in the moment, you can enjoy a lot of small payoffs. First, be mindful of your girlfriend's or wife's feelings. If you're in the moment, you will pay attention and follow her cues as to how intimate she wants to become." - Jack Challem, The Food-Mood Solution: All-Natural Ways to Banish Anxiety, Depression, Anger, Stress, Overeating, and Alcohol and Drug Problems--and Feel Good Again (Get the book.)
