Why don't you carry around a cell phone on your person very often?

Having read through several papers on the subject I am not satisfied with the quality of research demonstrating the safety of long-term cell phone proximity- OR proximity to cell phone towers. I am not imagining that the link between talking on a cell phone and suffering horrible consequences is a definite, highly probable occurrence, but there has been evidence that

1. People can  easily spy on you when there is a cell phone around

2. You will have lower-quality sleep (and especially dramatic consequences when the individual sleeps within fifteen feet of their phone, activated or deactivated).

3. Last year the media was not drawing enough attention on some of the new research



Importantly, Aitken also demonstrates a "potential causative mechanism" as to how RF radiation can lead to DNA damage. He acknowledges that cell phone signals do not have enough energy to directly break chemical bonds, but, he goes on, "This form of radiation may have other effects on larger scale systems such as cells and organelles, which stem from the perturbation of charged molecules and the disruption of electron flow." Specifically he believes that the RF can cause leakage of electrons from the mitochondria and produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), which in turn can attack DNA. This process, he states, is unrelated to thermal stress.Over a decade ago in a follow-up to their landmark 1995 study which showed that RF radiation can lead to DNA breaks in the brains of exposed rats, Henry Lai and N.P. Singh showed that the DNA breaks were caused by free radicals. (For more on EMFs and DNA damage, see the recent review by Lai, Singh and Jerry Phillips of the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs.)
Aitken found an analogous dose-response relationship for the production of free radicals with increasing SAR a highly significant one to the ones for motility, vitality and DNA damage. "The profiles of all the observed effects with respect to SAR were intriguingly similar, suggesting a common underlying mechanism," Aitken writes"so e-mail remains the best way to get a hold of me.
