BRAIN TUMOUR BY MOBILE PHONES?

 

 

     "CELL PHONES cause brain tumours" goes the whisper in the MEDICAL CIRCLES? Are you shocked? The danger is more amongst children and the youth. Beware,  you young ones, who remain obssessed with mobile phones! I find  that it has become a fashion with youth in INDIA to remain glued to their mobilles 24 hours by 7 days. BE CAUTIONED & READ CAREFULLY, DEAR.

     A recent study by SWEDISH scientists has concluded that if you use mobile phone for ONE HOUR every day for 10 YEARS--you are sure to get brain tumour. Professor Lennart Hardell of the UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL in Orebro and professor Kjell Hansion Mild of umea University had carried out this study. They are of the view that long term use of mobile phones raises the risk of developing a tumour on the side of the brain which remains glued to the Mobile Phones. They feel there were more dangers for the CHILDREN because of their THINNER SKULLS and the DEVELOPING NERVOUS SYSTEM. According to the STUDY these  parts are more vulnerable to the radiations emitted by Cell Phones. What happens is actually the abnormal growth in the brain which also could be called mutation. The study has been published in the latest issue of the journal of "OCCUPATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL MEDICINE". Clarifying further the study report insists that the long term use of these instruments leads to what they call ACCOUSTIC NEUROMAS . In 30 percent people it could be MALIGNANT GLUMAS( a very common Brain Tumour)

     It is, therefore, pertinent on parents to discourage their children from excessive use of mobile phones. We should stop GIFTING these potential sources of HEALTH HAZARDS to young ones on their birth days. FORGET THE BRAIN TUMOURS---A LARGE NUMBER OF YOUNG ONES LOSE THEIR LIVES DUE TO THE USE OF 'MOBILES' WHILE DRIVING. You go anywhere today you will find YOUTHS on MOTORBIKES/ CARS/ SCOOTERS /CYCLES or FOOT SLOGGING  always GLUED TO THESE 'DEMONS OF DEATH' AS  'SYAMESE TWINS' JOINED AT BIRTH. A number of young ones on bikes race at breath-neck speeds on their bikes while talking on the cell phones at the same time. ACCIDENTS ARE SURE TO TAKE PLACE. They not only endanger their own lives but also endanger other USERS OF ROADS. Can we minmises the use of CELL PHONES by the Youngsters? No,no, Law can not do this.  Parents and teachers have a major roe to play. It has to be 'Socio-Health Awakening' and start as a movement to save budding lives. We have to educate youngones aggressively lest they lament in the later years that their near and dear ones did not advise them properly. Some of them on SULEKHA right now might POOH-POOH me or dismiss me as an alarmist but only at peril to their future health.   ARE YOU WITH ME SULEKHA?

I hope a movement starts---NO USE OF CELL PHONES FOR MORE THAN 10 MINUTES A DAY----USE IT AS A PROFESSIONAL AND OCCUPATIONAL NECESSITY AND NOT AS A RECREATIONAL ACTIVITY OR FOR LOVE CHATS. USE LAND LINES FOR LOVE CHATS.
