MOBILE phones CAN cause brain tumours, according to a landmark court ruling.
Italian businessman Innocente Marcolini, 60, fell ill after using a handset at work for up to six hours every day for 12 years.

Now Italy’s Supreme Court in Rome has blamed his phone. Experts have predicted a flood of legal actions from victims.

there are controversial analysis and researches regarding this issue. british scientists have contradicted this fact but some oncologists have said that it is possible, as because mobile phones and cordless phones emit radiofrequency energy a form of non-ionized electromagnetic waves which are absorbed by the tissues and they got damaged.

This has been discussed over and over. There doesn't seem to be any concrete evidence either way. It is like the debate over standing in front of the microwave. My guess and I certainly don't know anything scientific is we all need to watch our exposure to radiation or anything like that, but panicing isn't the answer.

The person leaving this information has been hopping through the cancer and other health threads bringing up old posts and adding a sentence or two of very obvious information. His profile says he's from New York, using a zip code from Florida, and has a website from the Phillipines. Maybe he's just trying to be helpful?

Occupation the other was in internet marketeer... As in spammer or getting ready to pitch something. At any rate, it brings nothing to the discussion and is clearly nothing of substance.

Well, I did check out the website. One of those junk-nutritional-supplement suppliers. But to his credit, he has not spammed. And giving the benefit of the doubt, it is possible that he's trying to be helpful and just doesn't know exactly how to do it. You never know. In the long term, we all might be pleasantly surprised.

I didn't look to see if they had a website. I am guessing you put the website you're promoting in your profile, you make these stupid oneliner posts to draw attention to yourself, they click the profile with hopes of getting someone to clink the link.

Daniel Pearl was a journalist who was kidnapped and killed by Al-Qaida terrorist in Pakistan in 2002.

I hadn't put his name together with Daniel Pearl, that is interesting. I don't know if he has an agenda to push, but let's see if he comes back in the next day or so?
