Cell Phones And Cancer
The World Health Organization Warns Cell Phones May Cause Cancer: Here Is How You Can Help Protect Yourself.
The World Health Organization (WHO) released a statement today stating cell phones may be a cause of cancer. I am not surprised, and glad the information finally was released. Europeans have been watching the connection for years. I have a cell phone, but I am not necessarily alarmed because I know the best way to protect myself.
Most of us have smart phones, which are handheld computers and emit a lot of radiation. If you pay attention, when you talk for more than 10 minutes on them without a head phone, you may develop a headache. Electromagnetic radiation can heat up your tissues, and cause DNA damage that can be a cancerous mutation. Your body regularly checks itself with white blood cells and the immune system to find mutated cells and destroy them so they do not become tumors. We are exposed to a lot of carcinogens every day, but the body knows how to protect us, if it is able. That is why anti-oxidants are so important, they help support the immune system and protect us from mutagens that can cause cancer.
If you want to be proactive, and help protect yourself from cancer, you can do the following:

1. Do not talk for long periods of time on your cell phone, text instead and use a land line for conversations.
2. Get a good headphone which advertises that it does not transmit the radiation to your head.

3. Increase your intake of antioxidants, you may want to get your antioxidant status checked. Labs like spectracell have practitioners who will run the test and share how to supplement so your body is adequately protected. This is a blood test, do not be fooled by people who have you hold electrodes and tell you your status, that is not the gold standard.
4. Diet and lifestyle changes can be done to help your body stay strong and cancer free. One example is decreasing your stress. Stress paralyses your immune system, and keeps your white blood cells from finding pre-cancerous cells.
