Atherton, California (PRWEB) November 12, 2012

TruthMarket, a division of Truth Seal Corp., today announced that Dr. Devra Lee Davis is using the TruthMarket platform to launch a campaign disputing the mobile phone industrys claims that cell phones have been proven safe for humans. TruthMarket was selected because its online platform enables grassroots challenges to political, commercial and science misrepresentations. The first person who can deliver verifiable proof that cell phones do no harm when used for more than 30 minutes a day for at least 5 years can win $ 5,000.

Dr. Davis charges that the use of cell phones by millions of people on a daily basis constitutes one of the largest de facto uncontrolled experiments ever on human subjects without their being fully informed of potential risks. Pulsed digital signals from these devices radiate into the head and frequent exposure carries health risks, notes Davis. She adds that independent studies show exposure to cellphone radiation can more than double cancer risk for regular users, damage sperm, impair DNA’s repair capability, and produce other signs of cell damage. Moreover, strong evidence that fetuses, children and teens are particularly vulnerable has prompted the American Academy of Pediatrics to send a letter to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) asking for a review of the exposure limits.

In July, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) issued a Report calling for an update of cellphone exposure limits, recommending the FCC formally reassess and, if appropriate, change its current RF energy exposure limit and mobile phone testing requirements related to likely usage configurations. On page 40 of the report the FCC replied that the Commissions staff arrived at the same conclusion [and the] document is … under consideration by the Commission

Given the mounting evidence disputing cell phone radiation safety, an Expert Forum featuring noted medical and scientific authorities in this field is being held at the National Press Club in Washington DC on November 12th from 9 11 am.

Davis maintains that If they were really safe, phone manufacturers and telecommunications carriers would have offered convincing data by now. To win the $ 5,000 bounty, a campaign challenger must provide verifiable evidence that cell phones do no harm when used for more than 30 minutes a day for at least 5 years. Details on the required proof are provided on the TruthMarket website.
