Experts say cellphones are possibly carcinogenic

May-31-2011-- An international panel of experts says cellphones are possibly carcinogenic to humans after reviewing details from dozens of published studies on the matter.

The statement was issued in Lyon, France, Tuesday by the International Agency for Research on Cancer - the cancer agency of the World Health Organization. The assessment by the cancer panel now goes to WHO and national health agencies for possible guidance on cellphone use.

[ozzycriss]

Anyone stupid enough to put a cell phone to there ear/temporal lobe deserve there brain cancer . Geez people are stupid

[bengalslash]

small risk to a small number of people with heavy usage; how much vaguer could you be. radio waves and micro waves aren't densely ionizing. They can't cause double stranded breaks in dna, therefore can't cause cancer

[anold130]

Oh so now the government warning the world about personal and home appliances that have radioative material that causes health risks also instant death in contact. What about the young generation of this world, did the F.B.I. warn them not to buy or touch handset mobile phones because it is radioactive. Money-Crooks.

[EMRinformation]

This man in the video is not right and he speaks like people payed by the mobil-industry. The risks of cell phone use are high. If you take brain cancer people who starts before the age of 20 years face a 520% increased risk. Adults 270 %.

Take a look on my video:

[TheSkabal]

Cell phones utilise microwaves and Extra Low Frequencies which interfere with the body and produce a host of symptoms including death from brain and Hodgkins Lymphoma.

[MrWet12]

wtf

[corporatefascism]

DNA KILLERS!

[wd40tex]

dont use a cell phone when pregnant the emr goes thru the skin into the blood then into the fetus causing brain damage autism ad hd asbergers.

[ryanaw]

What a load of rubbish this man is talking. All the scientific studies I have seen are not based on emotion, but pure scientific facts.

[NWKklown]

He looks like any other british shill.

[ursweety888]

this is definately reversing propoganda

[redsthename]

and remember kids not doing your homework will give you cancer

[strawberrylaralara]

This is propaganda, cell phone use is bad for you, doctors in Australia are seeing more and more cases of brain tumors and this will increase.

[thestreetdogg]

it's the lifestyle we live.... we must change the lifestyle for better.

I don't care about microwave because where i am from we cook food, and if we need to heat the food, we use the stove.

but, the cell phone is the one i worry about.

[TheDrkKnght1988]

Radiation's harmful to your health. Use a cell phone (or cell for short) for too much time can damage your brain cells- giving you a headache or even more stress.

Another shill/gatekeeper trying to obscure the toxic delusions that the elite who create debt money out of nothing use to subvert our prosperity, just as Orwell said.

[pjvdixon]

Thanks - this is a short clip within a longer presentation on global trends of many kinds. If you want more have a look at my main site globalchange and add com and you will find articles - some quite long - on the research into mobile phone radiation risks. My overall view having looked closely at evidence is that risks seem to be very small to users (higher in children), but market impact could become significant as people are not always able to be rational about low probability risks.

[Sailor757SWE]

@pjvdixon I dont think you know anything about mobile radiation and your topic is completely inappropriate. Because what facts did you present? None.. Just a lot of unsubstantiated rubbish. I know a lot of doctors who says anything just to get some money.. Also, I think you look really weird running around in front of the camera. Take a course in presentation before your next "info" job.

[mkarnerfors]

"The future is not about science but about emotion"?

And this quack is a physician?! Had he been my doctor I would have switched immediately. The future is *all* about science! The *past* is about emotions! About scares, fears, paranoia and wild unsubstantiated claims.

For a *physician* to stand there and say that the future is not about science is about as dumb as saying that medicine is not about healing people. Someone *please* take away his license!

[mkarnerfors]

We used to lack the science needed to understand our world, our health and our lives. claims about witchcraft, miasms or phony cures like homeopathy were running rampant.

These days we don't lack these tools any more and science is getting better and better at establishing methods which we can use to increase our objective knowledge. Science is the future... not the past. This guy is a fearmonger and does not deserve to be listened to if he tries to downplay the importance of science.

[mkarnerfors]

Ok... I just listened to the entire clip again. My previous two comments were written in haste and may have been very unfair to the speaker. I would very much like to hear the context of this clip... because it seems he may be warning about the controversy, not the EM effects themselves.

[stupidtreehugger]

Your comments are those of an empire drone, an idiot programmed by the control culture who has not realised that video.google The Money Masters, JT Gatto, The Brotherhood of Darkness has petri-dish cultured all of what you understand through the scientific and social foundations and institutions they have founded and subfoststered by virtue of their franchise to create unlimited unaudited amounts of fake money out of nothing but their confidence in our stupidity and ignorance.

[mkarnerfors]

Go away troll... even if you were being sarcastic you're not funny.

[pjvdixon]

Hmm you misunderstand me.I wish the future of medicine was just about science but just look at the number of people who spend huge amounts of their own money on treatments for which there is little scientific evidence of benefit. Science, technology, innovation - what decides how actually used, and impact they have, as history shows, is not knowledge itself, but whether people want to use it, how want to use it, willingness to pay etc. Video of course is exaggerating a little to make us think.

[mkarnerfors]

Ok, then I understood you right in the second listening. My pardons for the harsh comments... feel free to remove them because I completely misunderstood you at first.

Actually, I have great hopes that the future *will* be about science. People are becoming more sceptical, that is to say they want *evidence* before they trust an alarmist. Sure there are still weatehr vanes who will believe anything as long as it tries to poke companies or governments in the eye. (cont)

[mkarnerfors]

(cont.d) But the weather vaners are starting to face stiff opposition to scientific sceptics. And people in general are getting tired of tabloids pumping out new "alerts" every weeks. So I truly believe we are heading in the right direction. Science is slow on the pick-up but once it gains momentum I expect it to be able to relegate quackers, alarmists and other muckrackers back to the fringes.

So... I think that the future is science... and that undue emotions will be stared down.

[IQTestsNegative]

Your brain, spine and nerves work with an almost unmeasurable amount of electricity. If anybody thinks this equipment is not hurting you then the cells needed to understand this simple fact have been destroyed. Think about it, do you really need proof? Are you actually going to wait 20 years before someone tells you this? If so, then you are playing their game of chance, and they will win as all they want is your money and that they will have in only 2 years. I'll pass!

[stupidtreehugger]

True dat. You only have to leave your croissant in the micro for longer than 30 seconds to have it turned into rubber, proving that microwaves change biological chemistry. "Microwave Oven Ratiation Test PART 1 - LEAKAGE" shows how much radiation leaks out from a microwave oven, pretty scary. I've stopped using mine unless in dire need and then I leave the room while its on. I used one for a year before I figured out: its screwing up ALL the food, only some items show it more.

[poetalonesexy]

You can explain it in simple terms??????

[glenwoodfin]

Wow, a public speaker that doesn't outright condemn the use of cellphones even with children using it.

So, you are stating caution, but not mindless frenzy.

My guess is that cell phone EMF is not good for the user, but it's not a death sentence.

Thanks

[pjvdixon]

I wish that setting a level was as simple as having answers. Easy to set level for exposure. Hard to prove long term impact with short term data. Fact is we have only been using mobiles for short time and new generation mobiles create different patterns of radiation than old (3G) so we need fresh studies which will take up to 20-30 years to full data on 20-30 year exposure risk.I think it will turn out that the risk is very small for say a 60 minutes a day of use, but cannot be 100% certain.

[comeonlet1]

I think it's presumptuous to assume that new generation phones are any safer than 3rd Generation phones. In fact they may be several times more hazardous. But that's exactly the point, 20 more years of research are needed before these devices can be proven to be safe and until then, their use should be discontinued. If drug companies are subjected to several years of clinical trials before being able to release a drug, why should cell phone companies get away with releasing untested technology

[comeonlet1]

The argument about not having enough data is bogus. How else would the FCC be able to set exposure limits for manufacturers. A phone's Specific Absorption Rate can be up to 1.6 W/(Kg of body tissue) and still comply with regulations. At 1.6 W/Kg, it only takes 30 min to heat 1 lobe of your brain by 1 degree C. That's 2 degrees for an hour phone call. The scientific evidence is there. However, it's left up to the consumer to decide whether they want to play Russian roulette with their brains.

[AdrianMX6]

Note the emphasis on the "heavy" use. All things in moderation. Listen carefully to what the guys says and don't take his comments out of context.

[pjvdixon]

Yes that is what I am saying - very heavy use for a long period. But even then I expect future studies to confirm that the risks are low - compared to many other things we do everyday.

[sshepherd81]

watch out for the cell phones.. Like Cars, like smoking!! Some will DIE!! I can Prove my point and show my study... That a lot of poeple will die in thier lives!!! In my study it shows that people who INHALE oxygen will die!!! No one can show me other wise!!!! I am so sure of my study that I will give 1,000,000,000 dollars to the person whp proves me wrong.. ALL THE PEOPLE ON PHONES! SOMEONE WILL DIE FROM THE SAME THING

[sLwAeOBeOtY]

pjvdixon,

do you think the benefits of mobile phones outweigh the risks?

[pjvdixon]

Yes - I use them myself . But I would not want a young child of ours to be using one for long periods every day. Following UK government advice.

[michaelheikkilae]

Furthermore... the MAXIMUM CONTINUOUS power output from a 2G GSM (900/1200MHz) handset is about 0.25 Watts, and from a 3G (2.1GHz) handset it's 0.125 Watts. At those power levels and frequencies the cancer risk has been determined (so far) to be extremely low to non-existent. This is not my opinion, but that of scientists worldwide. My opinion is that there are thousands of other things to worry about before mobile handsets, and walking out your front door poses a greater risk to your health.

[pjvdixon]

I agree with you - the risk does seem to be very low in normal use and may be lower still with 3G technology which emits radiation in a different pattern.

[michaelheikkilae]

One point to note about this study and every other study performed to date; phrases such as "some studies show...", "may be", "evidence towards..." No one knows for sure what detrimental effects mobile phone use has on the human body (if any). Why? Mobile phones haven't been around long enough. SO FAR studies worldwide have shown NO adverse effects on mobile phone use and the human brain.

[pjvdixon]

That is correct - we just do not have enough data on mobile phone radiation at the moment. Patrick Dixon

[pjvdixon]

Thanks for these comments. We continue to see new research studies, but still the overal situation remains as I said in the video. For loads more on these issues see my site globalchange dot com. Patrick Dixon

[fuzzbox5150]

technically mobile phones should be called microwave phones because 2.4ghz is the same frequency microwave ovens operate at

[fuzzbox5150]

if 42 is the meaning of life is 2.4ghz the meaning of death?

[stopthprob1984]

someones done th impossible quiz huh?

Biopro Scam--- bioproisascam.blogspot ---The Truth!

[METAL4EVERMAN]

a new study from israel has shown long term use increase the chance of mouth cancers in long term users, and I believe they monitored people over a longer period of years than other studies, I believe the 10 year period.

[Carabin33fr]

Hello,

Please tell me how it could be dangerous? Or what you suspect as a "physician"? A portable phone uses radio/micro wave frequencies . These are very low energy electro-magnetic waves...

A part from a little extra thermal vibration I don't see what much more it can do...

I hope you'll reply. Good day.

[pjvdixon]

Well many studies show mild effects of various kinds in functioning of living cells. Some studies suggest more serious possibilities such as making accoustic neuroma growths more likely. But the risks in all studies seem to suggest risks are very small, and studies do not agree in the findings they are reporting. it is still very early days. Expect debate for decades to come.

[Sailor757SWE]

@Carabin33fr Dr Georg Carlo was the head researcher of the mobilephone industry. He now says that mobilephones causes a lot of disease and even explains how it works. (Cellmambranes have receptors that work like antennas. Low energy or not, these receptors pick up the frequency and interpretes them as toxins outside the cell. Result: some cells stop working and you start to get sick. Even if not everyone get sick, I dont want such a nazi society that accepts making other people sick on purpose.

[pjvdixon]

if you want more have a look at the longer article on my site globalchange dot com

[pjvdixon]

I think there is strong evidence that mobile phone radiation has an effect on living cells, but the long term effect on human health is almost certainly very small. I have written a long article on this on my website as I say - globalchange dot com / radiation.htm . As a physician I am watching the science very carefully and I think we will see further evidence of a very small but significant effect.

[pjvdixon]

Does it affect my own use of a mobile? Well I don't want to be using a mobile for several hours a day year after year and I would not as a parent want a young child doing so either. The fact is that we do not know the long term results of mobile phone use.

[pjvdixon]

We do need however to keep a sense of proportion: there are many things people do every day which are likely to have a far higher risk to their health than mobile phone use. An example is riding a bike in a busy city, or drinking more than moderate use of alcohol.

[fitnesslifestyle]

Mr pjvdixon-you are full of it.How much more death & suffering do we need to satisfy you?

Would you let your kids to use a cell phone?.NO!

I know this,you know this,we know this.You sound like a car salesman,only selling NO cars.& you want proportion?pft.fitnesssavedmyl­ife(dot)com

[Sailor757SWE]

@pjvdixon Those are things you can chose to do. But you need just 50-100 nanowatt to disturb the function of many cells in the body, including braincells and other nerve cells. Mobilephone and mast radiation is much much stronger even if you are a kilometer away from the source. So using a mobilephone is the same as taking away the free choice and health from many many people.

[ashwix]

this whole segment is very incongruent in terms of logic... watch out for something!!!!but there is a very small chance of it happening.

i'd take this clip down if i were patrick.

[fitnesslifestyle]

OMG i cant believe that you posted this crap.i suppose when more kids die in a few years they died of emotions.this bloke is OWNED by cell phone industry.would i give my kids a cell phone-no fkn way.the evidence is out there don't let this wanker fool you he is a tool.

fitnesssavedmylife(dot)com

[fitnesslifestyle]

10 years in my case of average cell phone use is sufficient evidence to show the link with cell phones & Brain Cancer.don't need more tests,we need more neurosurgeons,neurologists ,etc.we are facing a global epidemic far worst than tobacco.come & see my Brain Cancer caused by cell phones..fitnesssavedmylife(dot­)com

[pjvdixon]

As I say in the video there is strong evidence that electromagnetic radiation has a direct effect on living cells, and there are some research papers suggesting there may be a link to particular types of cancers - of the auditory nerve - accoustic neuroma - but other papers do not show the same results and the risks do seem to be very small in normal use.

[fitnesslifestyle]

to-pjvdixon-why is it that they call them cell phones?.because they affect your brain cells!

if you allow your kids to use a cell phone you are giving them a loaded gun.talk is cheap & i know that you have seen the conclusive studies & you will never allow your children to use a cell phone.plz be honest.your talk is cheap.

[Nkatsikanis]

Please talk respectively if you want people to pay attention to you.

[straats]

Who is paying for the research? Who wants a specific result? Who makes a HUGE profit from the specific result? Follow the money.. and you will know the truth.

To know the truth, find someone who does not have a profit motive and is not tied to or getting money from a corporation and see what result they are getting from their research.

[pjvdixon]

Having said that, we need more studies over longer periods since it may be that the greatest risks come from heavy use of mobile phones for more than ten years. Patrick Dixon

[fitnesslifestyle]

to-pjvdixon-a proven fact that just one 2 minute call on a cell phone 2 a child will alter the child's brain signals for up to 1 hour.if you need info re long term,short term use-any thing about cell phones or towers by the top scientists in the world just email plz ,don't be shy ok.i'm still alive to try to prevent Brain Cancer in people that want to listen..fitnesssavedmylife(dot­)com

[Rawakening]

This guy is a liar. Trying to soft peddle cell hazards.  They are very real!

[factsnow]

Yes there is Proof.  The future is more then emotion, its survival. There are already more then enough studies by non industry funded labs that indicate emf is deadly without a doubt. There will never be a 'small risk', using wireless will always effect you every single time - every single time. If people just trust emotions now, They will be more emotional later that they did not use logic at all

[pjvdixon]

Well I am saying the future is often more about emotion and how people feel about things rather than just logical thoughts and data. Patrick Dixon

[Subfightr]

I wish it were the other way around :(... You re exactly right.

[fitnesslifestyle]

pjvdixon-wanker-the future is about people like you selling out every one.when you have a brain tumor & go blind we must do some more tests because of your emotions & how you would feel to be blind.use the mobile continuously & we will do some tests on the tumor attached to your optic nerve.fitnesssavedmylife(dot)c­om

[vinniepuh]

what kind of emotion?
