A call lasting just two minutes can open the "blood-brain barrier" in kids as well as adults, allowing toxins in the bloodstream to cross this blood vessel gateway into the skull and attack brain cells. The same two-minutes cell phone exposure also disrupts the natural electrical activity of a child's brain for up to an hour afterwards.
"Leading medical experts now question whether it is safe for children to use mobile phones at all," reported the Mirror. "Doctors fear that disturbed brain activity in children could lead to psychiatric and behavioral problems or impair learning ability."
Dr Gerald Hyland says he is "extremely disturbed" by the new findings released in Marbella, Spain by the Spanish Neuro Diagnostic Research Institute.
"The results show that children's brains are affected for long periods even after very short-term use," this mobile phone adviser to the British government explained. "Their brain wave patterns are abnormal and stay like that for a long period. This could affect their mood and ability to learn in the classroom if they have been using a phone during break time, for instance."
Dr Hyland and other MDs worry that cell phone's deep penetration into children's brains and the resulting disruption to the subtle electronic exchanges between brain cells could cause kids to lose the ability to concentration and remember, making it impossible to learn. Dr Hyland states that cell phone use is also linked with aggressive behavior in children.
"It makes one wonder whether children, whose brains are still developing, should be using mobile phones," this MD declared.
CHILDHOOD CELL PHONE USE MAY MAKE YOU SENILE AT 30
According to RFSafe.com, "A whole generation of teenagers face premature senility in the prime of their lives due to the use of mobile phones and new wireless technology."
RFSafe.com continued: "Leif Salford, who headed the research at Sweden's prestigious Lund University, says the voluntary exposure of the brain to microwaves from hand-held mobile phones is the largest human biological experiment ever. He is concerned that, as new wireless technology spreads, people may drown in a sea of microwaves."
Salford said it was possible that brain neurons would repair themselves in time. [Examples of brain cell self-repair are extremely rare. -WT] But the scientist warned, neurons that would normally not become senile until people reached their 60s might now do so when they are in their 30s.

CELL PHONE TOWERS TARGET CHILDREN
TV, radio and cell phone towers adjacent to schools or homes could be killing kids. An Australian study by Dr. Bruce Hocking has found that children living near three TV and FM broadcast towers in Sydney had more than twice the rate of leukaemia than children living more than seven miles away.
CELL PHONES CAUSE CHILDHOOD CANCERS
" I believe that 30% of all childhood cancers are associated with EMF exposure."
declares Dr. David Carpenter, Dean at the School of Public Health State University of New York. At the University of Washington, Dr. William Guy saw nearly all test animasl die from malignant tumors and immune system breakdown after five years' exposure to low-level electromagnetic fields. The EPA found Dr. Guy's $5 million study "to have demonstrated the carcinogenic action of this type of pulsed RF radiation." [Washington Post June7/95]
CELL PHONES AND ASTHMA
Alarming asthma increases among children and adults are also linked to cell phone pollution.
