Guest guest Posted June 28, 2003 Report Share Posted June 28, 2003 Will holding the cell phone physical a few inches away from the head protect the head rather than pressing the cell phone against your head?

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 Dr. Singh, The microwave radiation is not that much less a few inches away from the cell phone. One should stay at least 5 -6 feet away from someone using a cell phone. Jerry Mittelman, DDS, FAPM ***May you never know what you're preventing.*** - " DR.
