uncle pls take it seriousally and this is true and thnk god that u dont get any problem . if u want issue then pls continue.
Dear Friends, It is important to study the effects of new devices like mobile phones on the health of general public when its use is increasing day by day. We are habituated to accept blindly whatever abroad people are doing in their research. I think, the sample survey conducted at PGIMER should be funded by Min.Health and Min.Communication to make sure that there is no harm to Indian public in general and the study should be rigrous in nature befor arriving on any conclusion. The step taken should be encouraged rather than discouraged by citing western countries research which would always be limited/constrained by their less population and hence less credibility.

One of the published research which I cited was done in India. I did not tell that we should believe whatever the western researchers says. I just made it clear that the research should be done using the correct method. And it should be reviewed before making it public

What makes you believe that research wasn't done? Is it because they didn't bother to present to you?
I am a PhD student in Hearing Sciences at University College London. There are many studies publised in Science and Nature journals which says mobile phones does not affect hearing. Even the most sensitive measure of hearing is not affected by the exposure to mobile phones. There are many other factors which can cause hearing loss. The authors should have sent the research to a scientific journal and let the experts decide whether the study was conducted properly, rather than trying to get publicity anb create panic among people. If the experts agree on study, it can be made public. Rediff should only publish scientific facts which are reviews by the scientifc community

Dear Arti, do not jump to conclusions juts because you have not heard of such problems... I am having similar problem, Also, I have a couple of friends who have same problem while using mobiles... If you care, do some reserach in similar lines and come out with the results.... We all know that some large companies (especially MNCs) pay the so-called researchers to get favourabe results... How sad..

How true. Research is a fact only when approved by Westerners, else it's speculation or worse a story. Continue your PhD there & forget India. Let us poor people live with our own research. You can continue publishing in Nature or Science & let us live with our low impact factor journals
