The Swiss neuro-oncologist Andreas Hottinger replies to the most commonly asked questions:
Does use of the cell phone increase the risk of cancer?

Our comment
We are very angry that these so-called "specialists" continue to downplay the risks of radiofrequency radiation emitted by cell phones and other wireless technology. thus misleading users, letting them believe that there is no reason the take precautionary measures to reduce exposure to waves.
Dr. Hottinger is a member of several associations for research and treatment of cancer, which is a very lucrative activity. We tried to identify the source of funding of these associations, for example the European Society for Medical Oncology - which receives more funding sources from pharmaceutical companies?
Can we excuse specialists like Dr. Hottinger for being too busy to pay attention to studies published, for example by Dr. Lennart Hardell, which show an increase in the incidence of brain tumors? We would like to send to Dr. Hottinger the list of these studies (see below).
Dr. Hottinger also minimizes the risks to health of 5G technology. He is probably not aware of the Appeal of hundreds of scientists, doctors and experts from around the world concerning the health effects of 5G.
We could criticize a popular magazine like Illustré for having cited only the opinion of Dr. Hottinger on the occasion of World Cancer Day. The previous day, the same magazine published an article entitled "Medical advances on cancer" [article no longer available]: "Three specialist professors decipher the state of research for cancers widespread in Switzerland"; breast, lung and prostate, only talking about treatment of these cancers; surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy and immunotherapy, all treatment which enhances the wealth of the cancer industry, without any mention of prevention. The improper use of a cell phone, holding it in contact with the skin, in a bra for example, can play a role in the appearance of breast cancer. What health professional reminds us of the safe uses of cell phones?
It is time that we wake up and challenge the media and especially the experts, asking them to tell the truth concerning serious public health issues. Yes, "Let's distinguish between truth and falsehood!"
