"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. The Internet and the World Wide Web invaded our homes during the second half of the 1990s, making us intimately conscious of the pace of technological change." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"Like multitasking, cell phones have significantly increased our distractibility (and of course, we often multitask with cell phones). When cell phones first became widely popular in the 1990s, many people reacted with bumper stickers that said "Hang Up and Drive." Today, we might benefit from signs saying "Hang Up and Walk," as people wander distracted through supermarkets, pace the sidewalks in front of bookstores, and cross streets oblivious to everything around them." - 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.)

"It is as ludicrous as suggesting that using cell phones causes brain cancer or living near power lines causes leukemia. Social constructions pop up like weeds; ignore them and they seldom go away. Carey et al. (1995) and my other colleagues at unc published a study comparing costs of treating backache between chiropractors, primary-care physicians, and orthopedists. That study suggested that patients with regional back pain who were attended by chiropractors were more satisfied with their care, even though there was no differential in benefit." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"Deadly cell phones and Other Wireless Devices An increasing number of medical researchers, environment protection agencies, governments and individuals are concerned that wireless technology may be causing serious harm to people and the environment: • The country of Germany has recently (2007) warned the population to avoid wireless devices." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "As reported on CBC 12 July 2008, Toronto's department of public health has advised teenagers and young children to limit their use of cell phones, in order to avoid potential health risks. According to the advisory, which is the first of its kind in Canada, children under eight should only use a cell phone in emergencies, and teenagers should limit calls to less than 10 minutes." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "George Louis Carlo, a $28 million research grant to put to rest once and for all any concerns about risks associated with cell phones. Much to the benefit and relief of the industry, initial results covering three years of research indicated that there were no problems with cell phone use. However, by 1999, Dr. Carlo had gained significantly more evidence indicating a risk to DNA, eye cancers, and brain tumors." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"This was before cell phones, and I'd leave to find a pay phone to call the hospital. It was a good life in the sense that I felt I was always needed but a hard life, nevertheless. When I got home from work, I couldn't talk to my wife because I was all wired up and exhausted. I would go into the hospital at eight in the morning and get home at nine or ten at night. On the weekends, I would make rounds on fifty or more people. I took an enormous amount of night calls and never saw my kids. I felt I was a terrible father because I wasn't available. I can remember one Christmas morning." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"High-school students seem to spend the majority of their waking hours surgically attached to computers, cell phones, MP3 players—so much so that they don't notice what's going on in the world around them. Getting your teenagers involved in a sport or any other athletic activity is an effective means of combating our increasingly sedentary ways, all the while fostering a sense of belonging and achievement. Stress and Self-Reliance Instilling a strong work ethic at an early age is the most important gift you can give your child." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Do cell phones cause memory loss? Ever since cell phones hit the market, people have been concerned about the potential health hazards. Now preliminary research suggests that microwaves similar to those given off by cell phones may affect your memory. Researchers exposed one group of rats to the same type of radiation cell phones give off and then had them try to find a submerged platform." - Editors of FC&A, 1001 Home Health Secrets for Seniors (Get the book.)

"From global power grids and satellites to cell phones and the early-warning defense systems that protect North America, all were dependent upon date codes that were set to "expire" at midnight on the last day of the year 1999. For each system that would be affected, a small program was made available to users that would allow for a smooth transition from dates that began with the "19" of the 1900s to those that began with the "20" of the 2000s—the Y2K patch. As they say, the rest is history." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"Let's rediscover the unity in community In the twenty-first century—an age in which we are increasingly connected by cell phones, e-mail, and instant messaging, but paradoxically drawn further apart by quick and impersonal exchange—there is a great need to reengage with our communities to overcome the isolating effect such technology has had on all of us. Investing time in your community not only builds your cognitive reserve, it also builds social capital that benefits us all. Health care will also find a more fruitful future by reembracing the myriad benefits of community." - 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.)

"We have personal digital assistants for instant e-mail,TiVbs to watch television shows on demand, and cell phones to contact anybody anywhere at any time. All of these devices, and more, make life faster and faster and faster. When a family comes to see me for a consultation, the parents often smile in recognition as we discuss the symptoms of ADD/ADHD.That's because they've either been dealing with the symptoms themselves or their spouse has, and they didn't know it was a problem. Many of them didn't grow up in a time when ADD/ADHD was suggested or diagnosed." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.)

"In the US, our electricity is delivered at a frequency of 60 hertz or cycles per second; in the UK, it is 50 hertz. cell phones operate on 900 or 1800 megahertz. When physicists use the term 'phase', they mean the point the wave is at on its oscillating journey. Two waves are said to be in phase when they are both, in effect, peaking or troughing at the same time, even if they have different frequencies or amplitudes. Getting 'in phase' is getting in synch. One of the most important aspects of waves is that they are encoders and carriers of information." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"Our electromagnetic fields are scrambled by the constant bombardment of waves from all directions: cell phones, microwaves, TV, electric lines, computers, and the alternating current in our houses, just to mention a few. Our senses are dulled by the smell of exhaust fumes or pesticides sprayed on lawns, the sound of the constant drone of traffic or Muzak in the grocery store, the feel of concrete under our feet or the touch of synthetic clothing on our skin, the sight of skyscrapers or identical houses all in a row, and the taste of chlorine in our water or the old grease of fast food." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"And Wyeth was letting teenage girls create their own melodic ring tones and download them to their cell phones at a website promoting birth control pills called Alesse. James U. McNeal, an expert on the marketing of all types of products to children, explained in his 1999 book The Kids Market that companies had learned to give away toys and other fun prizes because play is a child's number one need. At the same time, children like those who give them things and are fondest of the biggest givers. "My research suggests that children begin to relate to brands?" - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"Food marketing to children now extends beyond television and is widely prevalent on the Internet [209]; it is expanding rapidly into a ubiquitous digital media culture of new techniques including cell phones, instant messaging, video games, and three-dimensional virtual worlds, often under the radar of parents [210]." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"Despite reams of studies, we are left with contradictory guidelines about the safety of cell phones, microwave ovens, computers, and other electronics that emit low-level electromagnetic or magnetic fields. We know even less about how the huge fields of energy that encompass Earth affect us. For example, we are only now beginning to explore how the electromagnetic fields that fill the ionosphere impact us." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"NOXIOUS ENERGY FIELDS Most of us are somewhat aware that electronic equipment like television sets, computers, microwave ovens, heating pads, electric blankets, cell phones, electric razors, and high tension power lines give off radiation or electrical waves that may be harmful. But do we really understand the health implications of electromagnetic radiation? Knowledge of noxious energy fields emanating from certain earth locations is just beginning to be understood. We have man-made electromagnetic force fields (emf), as well as natural ones from the earth, known as geopathic forces." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"We check our cell phones and BlackBerries constantly; scour the Internet at all hours of the day and night; and bring office work home with us so that after dinner we can keep right on working in an effort to "stay on top" and "ahead of the other guy." Fitting in leisure time extends a day even further into the evening, and TiVo allows us to watch favorite TV programs anytime we want, often late at night." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"Pediatrics 116:e303-13, 2005] In regard to EMF exposure from cell phones, most of the animal studies show negative results. [Bulletin Cancer 92:637-43, 2005] However, another analysis concludes there may be a relationship between EMF exposure from cell phones and cancer, but because the studies used to draw these conclusions have some flaws, the issue is deemed inconclusive. [J Toxicology Environmental Health B Critical Review 7:351-84, 2004]." - Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore (Get the book.)

"Lately, cocooning has taken on a new wrinkle—the creation of and deep immersion in our own customized on-demand "digital environments," which combine the realms of Web surfing, video games, instant messaging, cell phones and their photographic and text messaging capabilities, cable TV, DVDs, and on-demand television and movies." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.) "In this regard, SSRIs and SUVs, along with other distinctly American technologies like cell phones and fast food, are all the same: useful when you really need them but mainly unnecessary and vastly and indiscriminately overused." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"Myth: cell phones cause brain cancer. Large population studies have shown no evidence that cell phones cause any kind of cancer, including brain cancer. Cell-phone use today is much higher than it was a decade ago. If there were any truth to the cancer/cell-phone link, we would be seeing an increased incidence of brain cancers by now, but that hasn't happened. Experimental Treatments Really Work! Experimental cancer treatments are more beneficial than previously thought. Recent study: Approximately 11%—and in some cases, 27%—of the patients in Phase 1 cancer trials responded positively." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.)

"Whether that means occasionally forgetting dates, misplacing keys and cell phones, losing words and names on the tip of your tongue, or storming around outside someone else's hotel door in Osaka like a modern-day Godzilla, we can expect that these events will become more common as our bodies and minds age. Although occasional memory slippage may be a normal consequence of getting older, when memory problems begin to interfere with your day-today activities there is a fine line between casually dismissing slippages and needing to seek a doctor's help." - 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.)

"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. The Internet and the World Wide Web invaded our homes during the second half of the 1990s, making us intimately conscious of the pace of technological change. The World Wide Web first appeared in the news in November 1993. The Mosaic Web browser first became available to the public in February 1994." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"And when we aren't hard at work, today's multimedia environment—with its endless array of cell phones, portable music and video players, electronic games, and home entertainment centers—provides all of us with a continuous stream of distractions. Now imagine the effect of this on those for whom ADD is not a lifestyle choice but a real disorder. For children with ADD, whether the inattentive or hyperactive type, digital entertainment makes their condition worse and sabotages efforts to control the symptoms." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.)

"And what good does it do to stop eating cooked food if you are cooking your brain with cellular phone radiation? cell phones are so bad, especially for children and teens whose brains are still developing, that studies in Europe indicate that massive numbers of these young people will have Alzheimer's in their 30s! In the US, cellular service providers protect themselves from future litigation by printing disclaimers in fine print in their manuals or contracts. One reputable company that has devices to help keep radiation from the head of cell phone users is Biopro." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.) "Out of his and other physicists' early 20 century theories and discoveries came the quantum physics paradigm shift that resulted in television, the atomic bomb, spaceships, computers, cell phones and CAT scans. Also deriving from this work came the pop psychology movement, backed up by psychoneuroimmunologists and molecular biologists who taught people how to deliberately change their thoughts and feelings ?nonmaterial, nonmeasurable events ?to bring about changes in their physical health ?material, measurable events. We are now in the midst of another radical shift ?" - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"Toxic Waves Even though most of us are not willing (or able) to give up our computers, cell phones, wireless networks, microwave ovens, televisions, and other electronics, we have to ask if these electromagnetic devices are harming us. Even if you could give them up, you would have to think about the effects all the radiofrequency waves buzzing about from WiFi, cell towers, power lines, and electrical wires have on you. We are electromagnetic beings.Just think about an EKG orEEG—these simply record the electrical activities of your heart and brain." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)
