In 1995 David Reynard was denied a court proceeding for the lawsuit he filed in regards to his late wife. Mrs. Reynard tragically died shortly before her 34th birthday of brain cancer in 1992. Her husband is adamant the tumor was in the shape of Susan’s cell phone antenna and its growth was triggered by radiation from it. The Florida court dismissed the lawsuit on the grounds that not enough is understood about the link between cell phones and brain cancer to create a palpable case. David Reynard was the first to present this type of case and since numerous studies have been conducted to fabricate a concrete conclusion on the issue. (MUKHERJEE)
According to Lloyd Burrell, a recent Swedish study found a 250 percent increased risk of brain cancer from long term cell phone and cordless phone radiation. The 250 percent increase was found in people who have been heavy cell phone or cordless phone users for 10 years. 10 years of heavy use equates to around 2,736 hours or about 40 minutes per day. Tumors were generally located on same side patients favored taking calls with, as David Reynard found in his wife’s case. The radiation from cell phones effecting cancer risk are electromagnetic fields or EMFs. Burrell instructs it is possible to reduce EMF exposure by refraining from calls and instead text, keep your phone off when not in use, and use a corded line whenever possible. While this study makes David Reynard’s lawsuit seem viable Burrell neglects to say what EMFs really are. EMFs are the fields created by a magnet. A measure of EMF would be a measure of the strength of a magnet and are depend on the distance and how polarized an object is. In a magnet charges are aligned in a way so one side is very negatively charged and on is ...

...ast few decades as cell phone and cordless phone use increased. The National Cancer Institution reports 7 people in 100,000 get brain cancer each year and this has had no significant increase or decrease in the past two decades. Without any increase in brain cancer cases I do not believe cell phone usage is effecting likelihood to get brain cancer.
David Reynard, while fair to have reasonable suspicion, has no case against his cell phone company because sufficient data supporting him is non-existent yet. Nothing has been properly concluding condemning excessive cell phone use with our current ability to study the effect of EMFs on our body. Future change to current beliefs would be no surprise to me but as of now there is no reason to be critical of excessive cell phone use other than the dangers it poses when driving and its effects on normal social interactions.
