"My husband has just down-loaded your article
on mobiles - radiation scare.
Very interesting, especially since I have finally
got a public response from Vodafone Corporate UK on the matter.
As a mobile phone user of some years - professionally only I may
add, I have had some very powerful negative health effects, that
I can attribute to nothing else, except my mobile phone.
On long journeys now, I only use it hands free, and
for very short periods, leaving it sitting on the cradle some 2
feet away from my head, due to the really bad headaches and short-term
memory loss I was suffering with prolonged use before, not realizing
how this was occurring initially, ( I am a healthy 35year old non-smoker).
Before my misgivings, over the past year, it was
not uncommon for me to have my mobile phone permanently strapped
to my ear doing business running a pharmaceutical division for a
large multi national. It was only when I started with severe ear-aches
@ 12 months ago, mussy light headedness and general bad headaches
happening more regularly whilst using my mobile, that I started
looking into the problem more closely, and asking colleagues in
similar situations, if they where experiencing anything along the
same lines...........to my surprise, a friend and colleague was
having the same problems, and I then realized that my intuition
on the mobile, as I thought it was at first, was right......there
was a real problem.
The short-term memory loss on journeys was the most
worrying though, and I would often step out of the car on long journeys
very lightheaded indeed, after a particularly long business conversation
with a customer. I am writing to let you know that your symptoms
and effects on phone radiation are spot on, and if you have any
further updates, or need any statements on the subject to give weight
to any of your arguments, I am interested to give any input required,
as I feel that currently we are in real ignorance as to what long-term
dangers we are putting ourselves in on a daily basis using these
business implements.
Indeed, my company have no official line on mobile
phones and their dangers, and actually my customer support manager
laughed when I suggested over a year ago, that the mobile was dangerous
to health when used over prolonged periods, when I asked for the
need of a shield, and as a company, we still do not have an official
line on them. Vodafone Corporate my user subscriber have a very
basic line on press release which I finally received a copy of today,
after 12 phone calls to them expressing my concern. They still do
not officially advocate the use of phone shields, in fact, they
have very little to offer the mobile phone subscriber in the way
of any definite support on information for health grounds.......as
they say everything is unsubstantiated at present........but ask
me if I am really surprised?
I know this will be a massive issue in years to come,
and that is why I am registering my concern now, I do not want to
die in ignorance, I do not want to be the 1950s smoker who does
not know better until a government health warning 20 years too late.........please
let the people know as much as you can now, and then we can all
make informed choices on this product. I for my part, am using the
telephone far less now, and at a distance from my head and delicate
brain area, whenever possible, but that is my own sensibility, not
an informed action. I look forward to hearing back from you when
you have a minute to write,
Best Regards, Alison Stevenson Trade Director, Warrick
Pharmaceuticals UK Division"
