How can I best protect my poor braincells from the onslaught of mobile phone radiation?

Poor little brain of mine...it does such a great job (mostly) but I keep on attacking it by making calls on the old moby. Of course the obvious, and best answer would be to not use the phone at all and send smoke signals instead, but in my line of work that's just not an option.

So does anyone out there know anything about the various phone shields and hands-free kits that are on the market? What works, what doesn't and are they all just marketing ploys?

the evidence for mobile phones causing brain damage is really not very much. and the evidence for "sheilds" and such having any mitigating effects on the theoretical damage is, as far as I know, zero.

so do whatever really. maybe wear a hat? use the normal phone?

Don't you find you get a weird sensation in/ around your ear during and after using a mobile? I do sometimes, and it worries me.

Am freelance so a mobile is essential, unfortunately.

I carry mine about in the ass pocket of my trousers and worry it will do something to my botty

Never thought of that, Nappyzone...I wonder if it would help my butt to shrink?
