We are used to hearing that frequent and prolonged conversations on a mobile phone can be fraught with brain diseases, but few of us seriously think about how destructive the effect of this gadget is on our health. If you don't feel negative consequences right here and now, this does not mean that there are none. The other day the world was stirred up by the story of a Briton, who did not part with his cell phone and therefore died of oncology.
Ian Phillips, a resident of the Welsh capital, died at the age of forty-four from a malignant brain tumor. Ironically, the man worked as a health consultant. However, he hardly suspected that a low-carb diet and daily exercise were not all that is necessary for the body to function properly. Shielding yourself from the various harmful influences of certain achievements of civilization is no less important, and constant telephone conversations are just the same extremely harmful.
The man worked as a consultant for over eight years. On average, a Welshman used his mobile phone to communicate with his clients six hours a day. We multiply this number by thirty, and we get one hundred and eighty hours. In other words, Phillips spent seven and a half days a month on telephone calls, while doctors today recommend using a cell phone no more than fifteen hours a month, that is, an average of about half an hour a day.
Mobile phone caused death
Using the phone incessantly, the Briton got a terrible disease. In 2010, doctors diagnosed him with a lemon-sized brain tumor. A complex nine-hour operation was performed, during which the malignant tumor was removed. After that, Ian quit his job and began to engage in propaganda for the abandonment of mobile phones, especially among young compatriots. If the Welshman used a cell phone, he would use a special headset that connects to a smartphone and mimics a stationary telephone tube with a twisted wire. It allows you to talk without bringing the gadget to your head.
Unfortunately, the tumor has returned. Doctors judged her this time as inoperable, and Phillips passed away later this month. Relatives of the late Briton say that he fought with all his might for life, but he was unable to defeat the incurable disease. “It would be better if I was a beggar and did not have a mobile at all than doing this kind of work,” the unfortunate man admitted on his deathbed.

It is noteworthy that American scientists conducted an experiment this year, during which they exposed laboratory mice to electromagnetic radiation from cell phones for five months. After such a short time, cancer cells were found in three percent of the experimental rodents, which, according to experts, were formed as a result of irradiation with gadgets.
