The Use of Cell Phones During Pregnancy is Harmful To The Mother and Baby

Moms-to-be who use cell phones during their
pregnancies may seriously damage their babies,
says new research from a scientist who previously
believed that cell phones had no adverse effect
on unborn children.

A study by UCLA Professor Leeka Kheifets found
that pregnant moms who regularly used cell phones
were much more likely to have a child who had
emotional problems and hyperactivity by the time
they reached school age. Previously, Kheifets had
been skeptical of links between cell phones and
behavior disorders and had written there was no
proof of "any adverse health effect."

Researchers at UCLA, along with Danish colleagues
at the university in Aarhus, studied the moms of
over 13,000 children born in Denmark in the late
1990s, including their use of cell phones during
pregnancy and their children's cell phone use.
Children whose moms used cell phones as few as two
or three times a day were 54 percent more likely
to develop behavioral problems. And children who
used mobile phones themselves before the age of
seven increased their risk by 80 percent.

The study follows close on the heels of a Russian
study which found that using cell phones while
pregnant is "not much lower than the risk to
children's health from tobacco or alcohol."

"The electro-magnetic fields coming from a cell
phone can range from 5 gauss to 100 gauss. The
Environmental Protection Agency has stated that
EMF in excess of 3 gauss is harmful to humans.
I have seen the negative effects of EMF on the
blood of those using cell phones for long periods
of time. I have recommended for years that a woman
during pregnancy should not use a cell phone, smoke,
drink alcohol or carbonated drinks or eat acidic
foods like beef, chicken, pork or dairy products.
The health of the unborn child is determined
by the health of the blood and the health of the
blood is determined by a womans' lifestyle and
dietary choices. Having a healthy and happy baby
can be assured when a woman is following an
alkaline lifestyle and diet," states Dr. Robert O. Young,
a research scientist at the pH Miracle Living Center.
