"But the force of the new technology overcame any concerns about the quality of our lives; given the role of the cell phone in our society today, people have little choice but to use it. From the early 1980s forward, the use of cell phones grew exponentially. Cell phones are here to stay, and people will forever be more connected around the world. The use of cell phones represented such a dramatic change in our lives that it created a profound impression of the advance of technology, and it has likely been a factor that has encouraged optimism about technology and about the stock market." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"We know that cell phone use does account for thousands of deaths every year from car accidents (because people don't pay attention to driving when they are on the phone). There are 1.6 billion cell-phone users worldwide, with the number growing every day. And over half of the children in developing countries use them.What impact does this have on a developing brain? While I do use a cell phone, I try to limit its use and use a safe headset such as one that has an air tube to diffuse the EMF (not a wireless one). Cell phones are only the most obvious form of EMFs we are exposed to." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)

"SLEEP BEAT Two nights ago, I talked about how watching TV can throw your melatonin production off. Your cell phone and computer can also throw your body off. There is an ever-growing debate about how the electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) from cell phones and wireless computers affect our health. There is enough evidence now to at least put a little "caution" sticker on them in our minds. Think how tired your mind, eyes, and ears are after a long session on a cell phone or computer. That's really all the evidence you need to know that these devices drain your energy." - Frank Lipman, Mollie Doyle, Spent: Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Feel Great Again (Get the book.)

"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. 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." - KC Craichy, Super Health 7 Golden Keys to Unlock Lifelong Vitality (Get the book.)

"But when I ask him about the Grapple's safety, he reaches into his pocket. "A cell phone is a good example. 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. " - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"Think how tired your mind, eyes, and ears are after a long session on a cell phone or computer. That's really all the evidence you need to know that these devices drain your energy. Since many of us spend most of our days with our cell phones glued to our heads and/or our heads bent over a wirelessly connected computer, I think it is worth trying to decrease this potentially dangerous exposure as much as we can. Let's give our bodies a rest at night when we sleep—especially if these devices are in our bedroom! • Turn your TV off at 10 p.m." - Frank Lipman, Mollie Doyle, Spent: Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Feel Great Again (Get the book.)

"The first cell phone system appeared in 1982, which corresponds exactly to the bottom of the stock market and the beginning of the market uptrend that lasted until 2000. 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.)

"Do not keep your cell phone in your pocket or on your hip all day. The bone marrow in your hip produces 80 percent of the body's red blood cells and is especially vulnerable to EMR damage. The proximity to your genitals may also affect fertility. •I- Children and pregnant women should avoid talking on cell phones. Replace as many cordless and WiFi items as you can with wired, corded lines (phones, Internet, games, appliances, devices, etc.). ??Minimize or space out your computer use. Sit as far back from the screen as possible; flat screens are preferable." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.) "Could having a radio-frequency-emitting device (otherwise known as a cell phone) held up to your brain for hours a day have an impact? Do you want to wait twenty years to find out? We know that cell phone use does account for thousands of deaths every year from car accidents (because people don't pay attention to driving when they are on the phone). There are 1.6 billion cell-phone users worldwide, with the number growing every day. And over half of the children in developing countries use them.What impact does this have on a developing brain?" - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.) "While I do use a cell phone, I try to limit its use and use a safe headset such as one that has an air tube to diffuse the EMF (not a wireless one). Cell phones are only the most obvious form of EMFs we are exposed to. As I mentioned at the start of this section, we are also exposed to toxic waves in many other forms.There are things you can do to reduce your exposure to these toxic waves and protect yourself, and you may not even have to give up all your electronics to do it. I will review how you can protect yourself and your family in Part III." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)

"Meanwhile, Danny dialed 911 on his cell phone. After what seemed like an eternity—twenty minutes during which Craig brandished his shotgun, rambled, and issued warnings—the sheriff finally arrived. SWAT team members positioned themselves on the perimeter of the yard of the business where the little group was gathered around Craig and his truck. A helicopter began to circle overhead. Craig told his wife, "Well you're safe; the police have arrived." Gun still in hand, Craig ran around the corner of their office building." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"He found that cells exposed to cell phone radiation caused them to go into a protective/defensive mode—similar to what occurs during the "fight or flight response"—which prevents movement of nutrients and waste products through the cellular membrane. The inability to absorb nutrients weakens, damages, or kills cells; and not being able to remove wastes outside cells results in a buildup of toxins. This observation led Carlo to believe there was a close connection between the massive upsurge in usage of wireless technology and the dramatic increase in autism." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"He sat in the family van and used his cell phone to call his parents in the house asking to go to the airport. He wanted to go on a trip. Doing their best to calm him, his mother took him to the local library to read about travel. Within a week or two of starting Zoloft, Andy began to look "agitated" and to complain that his head was hurting worse than ever. His mother poignantly recounted how her son would hold his head and say, "Mom, I can't take this anymore." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"How often do you drive and talk on your cell phone at the same time? Some social scientists have pointed out that many adults these days live an ADD lifestyle. We split our focus because we have to, because all this technology allows us to multitask, and because the huge volume of work that we are expected to do in our many roles demands it. Despite technology's claim to make life easier and more efficient, many of us find ourselves more hectic, hurried, and harried." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.)

"In England, where cell phone use is prohibited while driving, is about to implement a new law that prohibits the use of hands-free phones as well. The government found that the phone use disorients the driver and increases the risk of accidents. The disorientation lasts for up to 10 minutes after use. In comparison, a conversation with another person in the car showed no such adverse effects. This may indicate that it is not the conversation (using hands-free car phones) that interferes with concentration, reaction and focused attention, but the brain's exposure to harmful rays." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "The holdup that causes a traffic jam is apparently due to the wreck of a car or truck, but in reality, it is brought about by another factor, such as fatigue, distraction due to talking on a cell phone, speeding, or drunken driving. In the human body, such a holdup can be generated by thickened blood vessel walls, which prevent the proper passage of oxygen, water, glucose, and other vital nutrients from the blood to the cells. Nutrients in the blood naturally pass through the blood vessel wall and gravitate to the cells through a process known as osmosis." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "If EM radiation in fact inhibits metal elimination from the body, regular cell phone use can be blamed for increasing the chances of developing cancer. Many trace metals undermine the functions of a huge range of enzymes and proteins involved in cell signaling, lifecycles, replication, and cell death. Metals such as cadmium are known to be aggressively mutagenic, damaging DNA, and elevated concentrations in the body have been linked to prostate, renal and lung cancers." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Regular cell phone use may be very hazardous. A recent study by Leif Salford, M.D., of the University of Lund, Sweden, published in Environmental Health Perspectives, found that adolescent rats exposed (2 hours/day for 50 days) to a device emitting one-sixth the radiation of a digital cell phone experienced 2 percent brain cell death or cells in the process of dying. Cell phones are ubiquitous in modern society because they offer us a way to keep in close contact with colleagues and family members.

"Right after they left, Anju got a call on her cell phone. It was Priya. "Mom, there might have been peanuts or something in my egg roll. My tongue's real itchy." "Take some Benadryl. If it doesn't go away immediately, call me back. Right away, okay? Right away? A minute later Anju's phone rang again. It was Aniyka. "She's still having problems." "Give Priya an epi!" Aniyka knew how to give epinephrine injections, because she was diabetic. "Call 911! I'll be home in a second!" The local fire station was only a few blocks from their house. The paramedics arrived in a matter of moments." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"The driver was so frightened by Melvin's appearance that he called for help on his cell phone and then sped off. Melvin doesn't recall when help arrived. In the police reports at the emergency room, he is described as realizing that he had made a terrible mistake, that there is "something wrong with animals like me." He attempted to hang himself but was stopped, and was then committed to a mental hospital. Within hours of being at the hospital, doctors wanted to start medicating Melvin." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"If our cell phone doesn't ring or our e-mail Inbox sits empty for more than an hour, we wonder what's going on. Who has the time or patience to sequence or plan or think things through and evaluate consequences? Why bother, when we can click to the next? It's no wonder exercise gets pushed to the bottom of the priority list—it requires planning and work. Experts estimate that just over 4 percent of American adults— that's thirteen million people—have ADHD, which is not to say that the remaining 96 percent of the population is completely free of attention problems." - John J. Ratey, MD, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain (Get the book.)

"Walk while you use your cell phone. Walk at the end of the day to wind down and refresh. Resistance bands and water-filled hand weights are two exercise aids that travel well and will keep you on target with your strength-training exercises. Help! I'm on a Plateau and I Can't Get Off! Those last few pounds always seem so hard . . . this is the point when many people can feel discouraged. But don't lose heart! There are some real reasons your weight loss may have slowed down. For one thing, as you approach your goal, fewer calories are needed to feed a lighter you." - Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews, Superfoods Rx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients (Get the book.)

"If, however, the crowd of people waiting on the corner with us collectively dart across the street because there's a break in the traffic and we simply "go with the flow" and move along with them while we're talking to a friend on our cell phone, then something else has happened. Because our attention was on the call, we weren't focused on the traffic light. We followed the others like the proverbial sheep because our subconscious mind made that choice. And the subconscious doesn't "think" about things—it simply reacts." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"Even in our day-to-day lives stories are ubiquitous, appearing in newspapers, on television, on the Internet, surfacing in conversations with friends, in e-mails and cell phone discussions, and even cropping up in our inner monologues and daydreams. The stories most meaningful to us are the ones that give shape to our values and beliefs, and form cognitive frames that help us sort out a complex world that might otherwise overwhelm us." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)

"As one commentator wrote, "This would be similar to the concept of attempting to make a cell phone call to a friend and expecting her to answer when you have only dialed the first three digits of the phone number."13 Like STEP, Krucoff's studies also did not reveal anything about the patients in order to create a connection. In Targ s research, the healers had been given a photo and a name as well as information about the patient's condition." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"The dominant image of the era is the American driving alone to work in his massive and luxuriously equipped climate-controlled SUV unaware even of the road beneath him, talking on his cell phone or listening to one of a hundred satellite radio channels." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"When someone speaks in an overly loud voice in public, in private, or on a cell phone, it can be extremely annoying. It may be a tip-off that the person is indeed annoying or seeking attention. But always speaking loudly is more often a sign of hearing loss. Conversely, a person who always speaks very softly, which can be just as annoying as speaking very loudly—there was even an entire episode of the TV series Seinfeld devoted to this subject—may also have hearing problems." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph. D., and Jacqueline Nardi Egan, Body Signs: From Warning Signs to False Alarms...How to Be Your Own Diagnostic Detective (Get the book.)

"It is widely thought that the advent of the Internet, the cell phone, and the mobile office has made it easy for working people to travel to some rather remote, beautiful places and continue to do their work there. It is widely thought that the Baby Boomers, when they start retiring around 2008, will want to move out of the city and into beautiful places to retire." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"A while back, my husband kidded me about my old cell phone. It had a small banner of text on its main screen that I could modify. For years it simply read, barb's phone. "Can't you think of anything more original than that?" he teased. I gave it a moment's thought and changed the banner to be positive. But even as I did so, the message seemed contrived and unsatisfying. I knew full well that despite the wealth of benefits that flow from positivity, people can't simply will themselves to be positive. We can't strong-arm our emotions." - Barbara Fredrickson, Positivity: Top-Notch Research Reveals the 3 to 1 Ratio That Will Change Your Life (Get the book.)

"SLEEP BEAT O Continue lowering your exposure to EMF by turning off your computer and cell phone. And continue not to confuse your circadian rhythms by watching TV late into the night. • Take a long bath to relax. A bath is a wonderful and easy way to remove tension from and relax the muscles. Use Epsom salts—magnesium sulfate, which is absorbed by the skin, reduces inflammation and restores balance. O And if watching your breath helped prepare you for sleep last night, try it again! RESTORE YOURSELF I am a huge fan of yoga and what it can do for the body." - Frank Lipman, Mollie Doyle, Spent: Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Feel Great Again (Get the book.)
