I really wish there was some concrete evidence one way or the other.

I know they are bad for me - I get a distinct heaviness round the ear I was using even after very short calls. They are very useful but I keep calls to the absolute minimum.

My car (Volvo) came with a hands-free kit built into the stereo. I just have to put my simcard in. Does anyone know if when I am driving along talking, these are just as bad as putting a phone next to my head? I used to use my mobile phone a lot, for some long (hour long calls :( ) up until a few years ago. I am much more wary now and do not like to carry it on me either - but has the damage been done?

I have read that hands free cell phone use in an automobile is also a problem

because the requirement is heightened to get the signal so the car is filled with

higher levels of microwave or electromagnetic field.

The vehicle, a metal capsule, serves to intensify the effect. This would be

the same while taxiing in on an airplane only magnified by the numbers of

passengers using their cell phones.

In my profession, a clinical practice of 32 years, it is customary even necessary to have a cell phone, but I never have had one because of the potential danger to my

physical health that already compromised. By God's grace He worked it all out.

Want more info about cell phone dangers? I have referenced material on my website on this topic - "CELL PHONE SAFETY." (Also other health topics).

I know I damaged my head using a mobile phone and no research or studies will convince me otherwise.

After several months of heavy work-related use, I developed bilateral headaches that nothing would relieve and a bruised feeling on my scalp as if someone had tried to pull my hair out. I sought medical help but was told mobile phones were safe. Noting a direct correlation between the onset of the symptoms and mobile use, I gave up the mobile altogether and no longer suffer unless I am too close to another mobile user.

My friends laugh because, if I see somebody move to make a call, I run away. I'd rather look silly than be in pain for a week (even a two second call does that to me). The danger of passive smoking is accepted and hopefully one day passive microwave radiation damage will be too.

One study I read by a Prof Hocking suggested skull nerve ending damage and that is possibly what has happened to me. I've been back to the doctor and insisted that he note that there is a direct correlation between my symptoms and mobile phone use.

I have never had a mobile phone as I dont want to take the risk. We managed before without them, I think people just think they cant manage without them.

For expert information, google Dr George Carlo and the Safe Wireless Initiative:

Dr. George Carlo, Ph.D, M.S., J.D, is a public health scientist, epidemiologist, lawyer, and the founder of the Science and Public Policy Institute. Dr. Carlo headed the $28.5 million research program funded by the cell phone industry from 1993 to 1999. Dr. Carlo has appeared on 20/20, 60 Minutes, World News Tonight, CBS News with Dan Rather and The Today's Show, as well as on CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC.

Resveratrol can help you to lead a long and healthy life so says many

doctors. Red wine alone does not supply enough resveratrol to achieve the

full range of benefits because one glass of red wine has only about

1mg of resveratrol and you need about 250mg/day. You need to take

high potency resveratrol supplements to achieve the results documented

in scientific studies.Resveratrol Supplements can also help you control

your weight naturally by increasing energy, reducing cravings, and limiting

your appetite.According to Wikipedia, Consumer Lab, an independent dietary

supplement and over the counter products evaluation organization,

published a report on 13 November 2007 on the popular resveratrol

supplements. The organization reported that there exists a wide range

in quality, dose, and price among the 13 resveratrol products

evaluated. The actual amount of resveratrol contained in the

different brands range from 2.2mg for Revatrol, which claimed to have

400mg of "Red Wine Grape Complex", to 500mg for Biotivia.com Transmax,

which is consistent with the amount claimed on the product's label.

Prices per 100mg of resveratrol ranged from less than $.30 for

products made by Biotivia.com, jarrow, and country life, to a high of

$45.27 for the Revatrol brand.
