Modulation methods are for the most part very complex in modern cellular phones and so to say that they only contain components in the lower portion of the audio spectrum is just being ignorant, is this what you were meaning?
Power levels in the range of +35dbm at frequencies above about 30MHz will cause small amounts of heating and if the RF is concentrated into a small area (like the end of a piece of unterminated feedline) will cause intense heating to occur. That heating is directly related to power level, frequency used and dielectric properties of the item being exposed to the RF energy.
That is why microwave ovens works so well, because the frequency being used (2450MHz) happens to excite water molecules well and so quickly heats the food in the transmitter 'cavity' in this case the microwave oven, also the oven is emitting an order of magnitude more power. The average cellphone emits only about +22dbm (150 milliwatts, .15 watts) whereas a microwave oven emits about +62dbm (1500 watts).
As far as the 'self calming', it mostly has to do with my basic understanding of radio electronics and RF field strength through personal experimentation and also theory gleaned from education and text books, it is very well documented and should be clear to anyone who will take the time to educate themselves about radio frequency energy. As I have been involved in the industry for well over 35 years (I am only 50) and have had no adverse health issues, I would say that I can feel some level of 'calm' in my knowledge of the possible health effects from exposure to low level and high level RF energy.
But with that said, I treat my whole life with a healthy dose of skepticism and am open to reasoned research that can prove that I should totally eliminate all the electronics that is around me, the jury is still out imho...
