Electromagnetic waves cause brain cancer ?

My feeling is that excessive exposure to highly intense EM waves might be a reason for brain cancer, as it happened a lot in my country, people who live in a building underneath a cell-site/mask do get brain cancer more often. One can tell something from the correlation alone, right ?

Yes, of course electromagnetic waves cause cancer, and we've had the technology to prove that since WWII! Maybe you've heard of what happens when people are exposed to gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet rays, radioactive elements...

How long have you been using a cell phone? Most people have carried one for the past 15-20 years, so how can we not all be dead? Maybe it's because phones, like your microwave oven, uses lower frequency waves than visible light. Yup, we get brain tumors because we use electromagnetic waves to navigate, if we're getting cancer from the waves which drive our phones and gadgets too.

It's not just the wavelength which determines the impact, but the intensity as well. Light which is too intense will cause blindness, sound waves which are too intense (voluminous) will make you deaf, and in still greater intensity can actually cause other severe injuries or death. I'm neither a physicist nor a biologist, but my guess is that if you live next to a cell tower, you may be getting too much radiation of a sort which is not dangerous when used as directed, further away from cell towers as with most people. Which is why cell towers tend to go up away from houses. So if you are offered a real estate deal which seems too good for your new house, watch out! On the other hand, the relation of even this condition to cancer really seems dubious when there hasn't also been observed general dead zones around cell towers, where no grass or weeds grow, or small animals die a lot.

Just to be on the safe side, I prefer to use the speaker or a headset for my phone, and both are more comfortable for extended conversations anyway.
Mr. Hanky loves you!
