Not sure about popcorn, is that for real???? But I have seen my mobile switch on a tele that hadn't worked for years!!! No joke. My phone was stood up beside the tele, it rang, the tele went ping and switched on.

That clip has been around for years and is known to be a fake actually. Mobiles phones can do lots of clever things like open your central locking when you leave you keys inside. Supposedly you get somebody at home to press the spare blipper next to their phone while you hold your phone near the car and it opens. Allegedly!

Too many spoof clips on facebook and too many of them have virus hidden in them so please be careful what you look at.

Si senor.. the next clip with the bananas was the clue

Don't write it off as bunkum ..... go to website - electrosensitivity.org.uk .... and decide for yourself. If you trawl the net or Google electro or electromagnetic sensitivity you will find out more.

I carried my mobile in my shirt pocket (roughly over the heart) for over two years in that time I developed massive palpitations, then came AF. I have also discovered a genetic predisposition within my family and so I suspect that the two coming together probably kicked off my AF in the very first instance.

even more important: never carry three bananas in your shirt pocket..

Hi AussieJohn,

if you go here you will see that the video was a stealth advertising campaign, and was done by trickery: -

(You need to scroll down below the egg stuff).

While I suppose it might be possible that you cell phone may have triggered your AF, wouldn't the genetic predisposition have been enough to start it? Presumably the others in your family who have had AF didn't also have cell phones, but they still got AF. Why bring in the extra variable of cell phone use?

Good luck to all in managing their condition,

Chris

Of the three known familiy members in question only one didn't have a cell phone. The other two did, and one of them is my 32 year old daughter who - like many 20,30,40 etc somethings - live on their cell phones. In any case, I would have thought that a genetic predisposition to any medical condition could mean that it is dormant until a trigger occurs. Others with a genetic predisposition, on the other hand, could well develop AF (or any other medical condition) at any time without a trigger. One thing is certain the telecommunications industry is more likely to cover up than 'fess up to electro sensitivity.

I did forget to mention that I stopped carrying my mobile phone in my shirt pocket when I heard a BBC radio programme covering research into electro sensitivity which does cover a wide range of medical conditions beyond the heart.

This is an urban legend and not true. Thankfully!

Seen that before but doesn't surprise me...there are phone masts all over the place!
