CELL PHONES MAKING KIDS GROW HORNS!
SHOCKING NEW RESEARCH! ‘Something nasty is going on in their bodies!’
SCREEN-obsessed teens and young adults are sprouting horns at the base of their skulls from excessive use of cell phones!
“I have been a clinician for 20 years, and only in the last decade, increasingly I have been discovering that my patients have this growth on the skull,” says Dr. David Shahar, who investigated the phenomenon with Mark Sayers, a fellow professor at Australia’s University of the Sunshine Coast.
After examining hundreds of X-rays, the researchers discovered 40 percent of their subjects aged 18 to 30 had the freakish bone spur — with the most
substantial growths being more than an inch long! And Shahar thinks modern technology may be to blame!
He theorizes frequently tilting the head forward to stare at a smartphone, which shifts weight from the spine to the back of the head, may be causing strain — leading to bone growth at the site of connecting tendons and ligaments.
Disturbingly, Shahar says the devilish spikes could be permanent!
“Imagine if you have stalactites and stalagmites, if no one is bothering them, they will just keep growing,” he explains.
Though Sayers, a biomechanics expert, says the spurs themselves aren’t a danger, he warns they’re a “portent of something nasty going on elsewhere, a sign that the head and neck are not in the proper configuration.”
But the odd condition is no overnight phenomenon, according to Shahar, who says, “These formations take a long time to develop, so that means that those individuals who suffer from them probably have been stressing that area since early childhood.”
