Does mobile( continues usage of mobile) make diseases like cancer ?

Question:

I'm a Medium category business man. I’m a frequent mobile user. Normally 2 to 3 hours a day. Now I got a parotid gland (saliva gland) swelling, bellow my right ear, where I’m commonly holding my mobile, while talking. I have been made a through checking and, as per doctors, it’s not a serious problem like cancer or related.
But I have read in a book that continues mobile usage will make diseases like cancer and cancer related health problems. Is it true?

Answers:
Absolutely not. The purported reasons for cell phone usage and cancers of the skin or brain have to do with radiofrequency emissions. There are far higher levels of RF waves in and around power lines and radio transmitters. Even your microwave oven emits very high levels. None of these have ever been demonstrated to cause cancer either. Using hands-free sets or ear buds don't reduce your exposure either.

Your problem sounds more like chronic stimulation/compression of the parotid leading to inflammation. Try the other ear.

I have read and heard about a higher number of mobile users getting cancer than any other source. At one time, Policemen used mobiles and had a high rate. Trust your instinct not the Dr. He isn't the one with the problem.
