Randomised trials needed
by Priya Jay on Aug 13, 2007 04:15 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

We need to wait for more research like
1) whether the vibrations in mobile usage harm the cellgrowth in body.(leading to development of cancers) obviously , such studies can be done only 20 years from use of mobo=iles.. so, lets wait for another decade.

2) whether the use of mobile harm growth of normal cells (leading to brain tumors)

3) whether the use of CDMA with high frequency leads to epithelial cell loss in blood vessels or more A-V malformation, thereby leading to brain haemorrhage

4) whether the lithum or cadmium batteries of mobiles lead to abnormal cell growth in two decades..

All these are Real possibiliites.
As mobile usage is only new to the world, We need more RANDOMISED TRIALS AND SYSTEMATIC ANALYSES through continenets to work up on these.

Only then, can we say, these mobiles are safe.

No one person can claim that use of 2,4,10 years hasnt harmed him or her.

Without appropriate trials and statistical analyses of atleast studies carried out for 5-10 years to study the LONGTERM effects of any new device, we can never claim safety of any device(like any drug) to mankind.

Recently a news item which appeared in an Indian news paper reported the following finding:-
A research study by scientists in Denmark involving more than 4 lakhs people using cellphones for more than 8 years did not find any evidence linking the development of tumor associated with cell phone usage and came to the conclusion that cell phone usage does not cause any aberrations in human brain cells.
Similar trials in other continents are needed to corroborate the findings and to reassure human beings about the cell phone usage.
Thanking you,
