South Forsyth County - Alpharetta-Cumming Chiropractor Reports:


A new study has just show that children whose mothers used cell phones frequently during pregnancy and who are themselves cell phone users are more likely to have behavior problems.

Researchers looked at a group of 13,159 children whose mothers had been recruited to participate in the Danish National Birth Cohort study early in their pregnancies. When the children reached age 7, mothers were asked to complete a questionnaire about their children's behavior and health, as well as the mother's own cell phone use in pregnancy and the child's use of cell phones.

After the researchers adjusted for factors that could influence the results, such as a mother's psychiatric problems and socioeconomic factors, children with both prenatal and postnatal cell phone exposure were 80 percent more likely to have abnormal or borderline scores on tests evaluating emotional problems, conduct problems, hyperactivity, or problems with peers.

Risks were higher for children exposed prenatally only, compared with those exposed only postnatal, but were lower than for children exposed at both time points. Kheifets and her colleagues note that a fetus' exposure to radiofrequency fields by a mother's cell phone use is likely very small.

However, they add, research has shown that children using cell phones are exposed to more radio frequency energy than adults, because their ears and brains are smaller. Because cell phone use was so infrequent among children in the study - 30 percent of kids were using a cell phone, but just 1 percent used a cell phone for more than an hour a week – radio frequency exposure seems unlikely to have caused any behavior problems, they say.

Researchers pointed out that there are other factors that could be involved (such as social-economic status and smoking) and that the results should not be over interpreted. More research needs to be done.

But the question remains: with more and more studies coming out linking cell phone use to potentially disastrous and life threatening health problems – should you wait for the research to be 100% sure? Or should you take steps immediately to reduce your potential risk. After all, there was a time when tobacco companies said there was no definitive proof that smoking was bad for you. Remember that?

What Steps Can You Take?

The first thing to understand is studies have shown that any dangers associated with cell phone use are related to the closeness of the antenna to the human body. So, head-set and hands-free devices protect the human body from adverse cell phone radiation. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE BLUETOOTH DEVICES. It appears that Bluetooth devices may be “even worse” than using a standard cell phone in terms of microwave radiation.

There is also a product called the RF Raider that may effectively reduces up to 60% of the radiation exposure you get from your cell phone. If you are interested in learning more about this ingenious new device… just go to
www.rfraider.com.

Basically, you can stop using your cell phone, use an appropriate headset (not Bluetooth), or look into the RF Raider. A combination approach is probably the best.

More Dangers Of Cell Phone Use…

In case you don’t already know, a recent study has found a possible link between cell phone use and brain cancer. In fact, award winning Neurosurgeon, Dr. Vini Khurana, recently conducted a 15 month “critical review” of the link between mobile phones and malignant brain tumors and found…

Using Mobile Phones For More Than 10 Years Could More Than DOUBLE
The Risk Of Brain Cancer!

And listen to this… Dr. Khurana says people should avoid using them whenever possible and that governments and the mobile industry must take “immediate steps” to reduce their radiation.

This is so important because at the time of writing this, there are approximately 3 billion mobile phone users worldwide and a malignant brain tumor basically represents, according to Dr. Khurana, “a life-ending diagnosis.” Wow! And if that wasn’t bad enough… check this out:

Forsyth County – Alpharetta Chiropractor Comments:

A good friend and colleague of mine, chiropractor, specializing in pregnancy and children, Dr. Heather Davis... out of Kennesaw, GA... emailed me a youtube video of her turning a breech baby! Here's the email Dr. Davis sent me about this amazing technigue that she has mastered:

Dr. Meininger:

I am excited to share a recent experience with you and anyone that you feel may benefit. You may have already heard about the amazing chiropractic adjustment that helps breech babies to get into the proper head down position. I may have also shared with you that I personally benefited from this adjustment, The Webster’s Adjustment, when I was pregnant with my daughter. The Webster’s Adjustment is one of the most amazing things I have ever experienced as a doctor and although I have seen many babies turn following the adjustment, everyone is a miracle! I have been certified in this technique and performing it for nearly ten years. It is extremely safe and gentle for both Mom & Baby however, some expectant moms are apprehensive about getting adjusted if they are not already familiar with chiropractic.

This is an attempt to help put all fears to rest for moms, dads and their birth practitioners. I recently performed the Webster’s Adjustment on a mom that was 37 weeks pregnant and the baby turned after just one adjustment! This mom very generously agreed to allow us to video her getting adjusted and to share her testimonial. Her baby not only turned head down but, she describes a decrease in lower back pain, swelling in her feet and indigestion! This is a great video for any expectant mom that is wondering if chiropractic is an option for her but, especially if she has a baby in any position other that the ideal head down position.
