27th June - something to think about

The wife of one of my colleagues has been diagnosed with a brain tumour.

In 2002 I went on a training course in the south of England to learn about using the Leigh Dovetail Jig. My tutor at the time was a retired woodwork teacher. His theory was that the biggest experiment in the early 21st century was the wide use of mobile phone technology. There is no long term analysis of the damage mobile phone users are doing by holding a device with microwave technology close to our brains.

I talked to my dentist about it a few years ago. I wanted to know if anyone with fillings in their teeth had ever observed like me that they (the fillings) were irritated after a mobile phone had been used for a while. I got toothache by using the phone a lot.

If you put something metallic in a microwave oven you will get an instant (not very nice) reaction!

So has there been research done by mobile phone companies on the use of their technology when there are metal objects like fillings or glasses close to the brain when the phone is used? I do not think they would reveal the results!!

Like that old woodwork teacher I think there will be many more brain tumours in our lifetimes. Those early adopters and high users of mobile phones are at high risk of damaging themselves.

The experiment is only one of those going on these days...
