Cellphone towers are safe, as long as you think they are safe.

In a recent study completed by the University of Essex, researchers found that people fell ill to the closeness of cell phone towers because they think it will have a negative effect on them. They found that the cell phone towers were not responsible for people feeling anxiety, nausea and fatigue. They found however that the people who thoughts cell phone towers were a bad for them, caused them to then show the symptoms like anxiety.

If this study is true, then we might have found a cure for the whole world. Just think positive things and you will be fine! So let’s all stop worrying about all kinds of things and we will be safe from everything. Ok, let me try it; that secretive Osama Bin Laden, doesn’t exist! Terrorism, none existent! Poverty and hunger, no more! Diseases like TB, AIDS, Cancer and Flu is all just a figment of my old imagination. Whew…I feel much better now, do you?

I find it strange in the article that was released about cell towers that actual research was not done on the effects of the towers close proximity to humans. Instead the research concluded that the people’s knowledge of these devices made them sick? Is it not like saying; staying next to the Chernobyl Nuclear power plant is fine unless you think that radio active fall-out is bad for you?

Maybe one day research companies other than those funded by the Cell phone networks will do proper research into the safety of cell phone towers. Maybe one day independent research companies will also do research on the side effects of medicines without being paid by the pharmaceutical companies themselves to do it. Maybe one day real research will be done on GM (genetic modified) foods. Until that day comes; I prefer to keep researching and reading on potential dangers of all the new developments in food, medicine and technology. I don’t belief ignoring it will protect me!
