CANCER LINK WITH CORDLESS PHONE RADIATION
Research from Swedish scientists concludes that cordless phones raise the risk of developing cancer. After evaluating malignant brain tumor patients’ usage of cell phones vs. their usage of cordless phones, they found the cancer risk was multiplied for those who used DECT cordless phones and combining the two made the risk even higher.
Compounding the problem, the levels of radiation from your DECT cordless phone base may be more significant than radiation levels found near cell phone towers. Most DECT cordless phones emit radiation from the handset, as well as the base, at full power even when the phone isn’t in use.
Is Cordless Phone Radiation Worse Than Cell Phone Radiation?
Yes, it possibly is. With EMF exposure, proximity to the source and length of exposure are two very important factors. Many people go to bed every night with their head just a few inches from a DECT cordless phone base thereby exposing themselves to significant levels of cordless phone radiation, just at the time of day when their body is the most vulnerable.
In terms of radiation exposure neither DECT cordless phones nor cell phones are particularly good for you, and certainly not in combination. Perhaps it would be wisest to follow the advice of respected Harley Street physician Dr. David Dowson, he says: ”Having a cordless phone is like having a mobile mast in your house. I’d recommend anyone who has one to switch to a plug-in phone.”
