He works in automotive sales, and spent a lot of time using one of those huge early Motorola cell phones, which had a separate transmitter and power supply. There is no history of cancer in our family, and I believe that his tumor was due to cell phone use. The tumor was right where he held the handset to his jaw, and he was on the phone about 6 hours a day.  He had the tumor removed, and there was only slight damage to the nerves controlling his jaw. Today's cell phones put out less radiation, but I personally limit my  use to 10 minutes a day to minimize exposure.<br> ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 22nd 2007 10:40AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Isabodywear underwear fends off cellphone radiation]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/20/isabodywear-underwear-fends-off-cellphone-radiation/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/20/isabodywear-underwear-fends-off-cellphone-radiation/</guid><description><![CDATA[Did anything happen to his right jaw? <br><br>What about his top jaw? <br> <br>I once saw a guy named Gilligan pick up radio broadcasts thru his dental fillings...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[rEdEyEz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 22nd 2007 6:07PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Isabodywear underwear fends off cellphone radiation]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/20/isabodywear-underwear-fends-off-cellphone-radiation/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/20/isabodywear-underwear-fends-off-cellphone-radiation/</guid><description><![CDATA[so in otherwords, if you have the phone within the confines of the underware, you will recieve a call?
