Re: Yak yak yak! Bla bla blah! Wait, you seem to be confusing urban legends with factual evidence. We are not talking about urban legends here.
No walking on fire or water. By your reasoning, fire is a health concern and we should not expose ourselves directly to it. So is water, we could actually drown. -UNSAFE!!-
-well duh--
There is no factual evidence that cellphones can cause illness of any kind, excluding chemical poisoning caused by actually ingesting the cellphone and it's battery.
You seem to believe that since microwave ovens make water hot, cellphones do the same thing since they use the same range of microwave frequencies.
False analogy.
The woman in the article claimed the same things, but I have not seen any evidence that there were double blind tests done to confirm her self-diagnosis. In other words, she -believes- the wifi makes her sick, so that justifies her attack on the technology.
Check the source. It's England, these are the same folks who supposedly witnessed "spontaneous combustion" of people. (I think they tried to blame microwaves for that as well...)(something about a Russian death ray)

I've come to the conclusion that people in England are easily lied to, at least in the tabloids. Meh, it sells newspapers. And my personal opinion is that any newspaper that has naked girls on page three -IS NOT A VALID NEWSPAPER- it's a sensationalist tabloid designed to excite it's readers. | |

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but don't cellphones range from 850MHz to 1900MHZ (2400 MHz for my T-Mobile Wi-Fi phone), and microwaves run at MUCH HIGHER frequencies?

Portage, IN | No, a standard microwave oven uses 2400MHz, just like Wifi and cordless phones. But, wifi broadcasts using milliwatts of power, where a powerful microwave oven is "broadcasting" over a thousand watts. | |
