Cell phones have become an integral part of American (and increasingly the world) society. They are ubiquitous in the business world and day-to-day life activities. The authors discuss in detail the risks associated with cell phones, particularly those of the digital variety. They tell the all to common tale of industry PR "spin" vs. public safety and common sense. While it may not be correct to state that cell phones cause brain cancer, the preliminary indications and not heart warming.

Thus far clinical studies have shown:

1) Cell phone radiation penetrates deep into the developing brains of children.

2) Cell phone radiation results in chromosomal damage to blood exposed to wireless phone radio waves. There is a link between chromosome damage and brain cancer.

3) Cell phone radiation breaks down the blood brain barrier. Think of the blood brain barrier as an immune system for the brain. As it breaks down, other environmental toxins more easily enter the brain and cause damage.

4) A number of studies showed a statistically significant correlation between brain cancer deaths and cell phone use.

5) Cell phone radiation can cause pacemakers to malfunction is they (pacemakers) are not properly insulated from cell phones that are within 6 inches of the pacemaker.

The above are based on elaborate human, animal, and laboratory experiments that examine the effects of cell phone radiation. The experiments in the book focus primarily on cell phone use - when the phone is near the head. If cell phone radiation is able to penetrate the human skull, the effects may be even more dramatic on soft tissue such as reproductive organs that may be continuously exposed to radiation by a phone carried in a pants pocket.

Based on the scientific evidence in the book you should avoid using a cell phone or being around one to be perfectly safe. Since that is not likely, the following precautions can be taken:

1) Despite the aggressive marketing practices of the industry towards children, keep cell phones out of the hands of your kids, they are particularly susceptible to the radiation generated by cell phones.

2) Use a hands free model and keep the phone away from your body.

3) If you put the phone up to your ear, point the antenna away from you.

4) If you have one of those cool little phones with a built in antenna, the whole phone is an antenna and you are getting a heavier dose of radiation. GET A HEADSET OR A DIFFERENT PHONE.

5) A cell phone has to pump out more radiation when the signal strength is low, try not to use the phone unless the signal strength is near 100%.

Initial studies show a clear link between cell phone radiation (especially associated with digital phones) and adverse health effects. In the next 10 to 20 years the effects will become apparent with the general public serving as the test subjects. Tread carefully on those wireless stocks over the long term, and take precautions today so you don't become a statistic. Many thanks to Dr. Carlo and Martin Schram for timely well written book packed with critical info for all wireless customers.

Congratulations to Dr. Carlo for having the guts to try to stop an upcoming epidemic of fallout from cell phone use. Human bodies did not evolve with this kind of exposure to these kinds of electromagnetic frequencies so it so makes sense that the dangers that Dr. Carlo points out would, in fact, be likely.

Read it and spread the word!

Amazing courage in the modern age!

Dr. Carlo and Martin Schram describe the difficulties in first developing measurement tools for a mobile phone radiation research and then tells reader about the shock of the results: headaches, lymphoma in mice, cancers, leaks in blood-brain-barrier. Also, there is scientific who-is-who and looks behind the curtains of big money politics. It's all about $$$$.

Book contains both political and technical plot and is a bit "jumpy" at times but the beef is clear - electromagnetic radiation is dangerous to living organisms. Excellent pictures of brain tumours caused by cell phones and radiation penetration graphs in human skull.

At the end Carlo gives health recommendations for the consumers, the mobile phone industry, the scientific, medical and public medical officials and government.

This book should be a required reading for all who are exposed to the radiation - we all are even if we didn't want to! More than 500 million cell phones are being used today and they don't work without the base stations. The adverse health effects from microwave radiation is happening as we speak. The risk is imminent and the consequences will be devastating.

Spread the word, indeed.

Having worked with wireless technologies for over 30 years, I am an expert in the subject and can verify that the contents of this book are true and undisputable. If you use any form of wireless technology, especially cell phones, you must take the necessary precautions! One thing that the vast majority of people don't understand is that, when cell phones were analog, there was a greatly reduced risk of radiation danger. The reason - analog radio waves are found in nature, i.e. they are natural. The real risk and danger is that today, all cell phones being manufactured are digital and transmit digital signals which are never found in nature because they are man-made. This type of unnatural radiation going through the body is flat-out dangerous and a very high risk to your health. Want to know what's even more scary? There is really no way to protect yourself from the millions of digital wireless cell phone signals passing through your body every day. You are not protected in your home, your office, or even in a bunker. The only type of building that may be able to ward off these digital demons are totally metallic buildings because they tend to relect radio signals. Beware!

I am an avid anti-ELFer, and I was disappointed with this book, having read "Cell Towers: Wireless Convenience? or Environmental Hazard" by B. Blake Levitt first. I'm the type of person who wants the facts, the science, the politics, and not a whole lot mixed in - and I want to believe the researcher is honest and always has been.

What Carlo gives in this book is more of a novel, and a poorly written and confusing one at that. The author italicizes entire pages for emphasis, which leaves the reader straining his/her eyes for much of the book. Perhaps if he'd have written it in first person - since it was about him - it would have been a better book, and I could have overlooked that.

Add to this numerous grammatical errors - something I think an author who was not in a rush to get a book published quickly (to save face) would have hired a competent editor for - and I lost some respect.

Google "An Interview with Louis Slesin" to learn more about why I'm disappointed in this author/researcher. I'm not saying the book lacks accuracy. What I am saying is that it appears this researcher was trying to portray himself as a martyr, when, in fact, he may not have been as honest at the get-go of his research as he implies. I'm not sure what changed that, but I truly hope this author is sorry.

And if you've googled "An Interview With Louis Slesin", he, too, is disappointed in this researcher's refusal to disclose where the $25,000,000 that once was there for this critical research was spent on. Now the money is gone, and we are no closer to an answer.

[...]

I pray this researcher is truly sorry. I really do. I wanted to give him only 3 stars, but I'll give him 4 with that in mind. Levitt's book is a better choice.

I would have to say this book gets all the facts about radiation. I reccommend anyone who has a cell phone or knows somebody that you love that uses a cell phone get this book. It is very useful and mind blowing. Cell phones can give you cancer and cause brain damage. Im not saying to throw away your cell phone now, because I still use mine with cell phone accessory that blocks 96% of radiation. I reccommed everybody get this accessory (...) and BUY THIS BOOK!!!

For writting on a subject which seems to elude the truth everytime it is brought up publicly. It is refreshing to see that, even though the "scientific jury" is still out on this issue that the proceedures which have taken place to date are finally out in public. This is a story of yet another industry giant group claiming righteousness and doing it by spin which will ultimatley back-fire. Where are the CEO's of the members of the CTIA - they should scould Tom Wheeler for his "holier-than-though" attitude. Wheelers own book protrays him as a pathological opportunist willing to change the rules to fit his own agenda. I applaud Dr. Carlo and Martin Schram for stepping up to the plate to write this and Carrol Graf for publishing it. Read Wheelers book and then read Carlo's and you will find that the CTIA is more than likely "Spinning" out junk.

This is an excellent first book for someone to read that wants to know the real TRUTH behind how the cell phone scare first started and how the industry and it's high-powered and overpaid lobbyists buried the TRUTH about microwave radiation from cell phones (wireless routers, cell towers, cordless DECT phones, microwave ovens, etc.). Motorola paid $25 million to do a 5-year study that didn't even last the entire 5 years. Dr. George Carlo and his team were not given the money when they needed it most in the 3rd or 4th year of the testing phase. Why? What did the industry (CTIA, FDA, etc) have to hide?

How does an industry that is supposed to PROTECT the consumer allow an electronic and radiation-producing device to bypass mandatory pre-market testing? Of all the devices of new technology coming online, how did this happen? This is absurd.

And why was the FDA invovled? It's not a food or a drug... What are they doing even touching electronic devices? Maybe they need to change the name of the agency or just get rid of it altogether. Our food isn't safe either.

Dr. Carlo's research about the truth of the dangers of cell phones was buried and they tried to make him a scapegoat. And since the book was written there are 100's of millions of more cell phones in existence, more cell towers and dumb SmartMeters in our homes. Do the research and start by reading this book. You will be shocked by the evidence.

Then go visit truth seeker and award-winning journalist and researcher Will Thomas at [...] and read all of his free articles and purchase his 138 page e-book for under $8. It's full of evidence and it's well-researched. $8 is a steal.

Then visit [...] to check out reasonably-priced professional and consumer-based radiation detectors. The only way you'll know how much radiation is in your work, home, community and retail-store environments is by being able to see what a detector picks up. You will be amazed and shocked! And pray that you don't have a cell tower near your home or in your neighborhood because your health will be at risk.

Do your own research and don't listen to the corporate media! They're LYING to all of us! All they care about is $$$.

I was not satisfied at all with this book. As a matter of fact, I could not finish it. When dealing with areas of science, references are important. This author may have good information, yet without references it is hard to discern because there aren't any for 99.9% of the material in this book. It is hearsay or religion or more like a novel. If you are looking for information that can be researched or confirmed, this is not the book. Great artistic book cover, yet no hard evidence on the inside. It is true, 'you can't judge a book by its cover'. The title of the book gives a clue to the references in it, 'invisible'.

This book is right on. Now I carry mine wherever I go and when I am near someone using a cell phone I walk over and tell them that they are at risk for cancer due to their cell phone. Then I flash the book. Let's get America off of the cell phones and then we will all get less cancer.
