Approaching Epidemic: Brain Damage from Mobile Phone Radiation
TINA: So what's new in your head?
DAPHNE: my new Cell PHONE! It rocks!
REAL ANSWER: emf, radio waves, brain cancer
early death. You lemmings! USE EMAIL!
That cell fone will create tumors in the brain!
Cut time using them way way down!A collaborative team of international EMF activists has released a report detailing eleven design flaws of the 13-country, Telecom-funded Interphone study. The exposé discusses research on cell phones and brain tumors, concluding that:
* There is a risk of brain tumors from cell phone use
* Telecom funded studies underestimate the risk of brain tumors
* Children have larger risks than adults for brain tumors (deaths from tumors only in rich kids, no risk in ghetto tots wi. no phone but many poor kids do have fones!)The Interphone study, begun in 1999, was intended to determine the risks of brain tumors, but its full publication has been held up for years. Components of this study published to date reveal what the authors call a ‘systemic-skew’, greatly underestimating brain tumor risk.
The design flaws include categorizing subjects who used portable phones (which emit the same microwave radiation as cell phones,) as ‘unexposed’; exclusion of many types of brain tumors; exclusion of people who had died, or were too ill to be interviewed as a consequence of their brain tumor; and exclusion of children and young adults, who are more vulnerable. TO REMEDY and PROTECT YOURSELF AND THE KIDS an EXPERT TOLD ME:
Except for occasional, very short calls, I wouldn't use a mobile phone by holding it up to my ear. I would use a headset or a handset like one of these: https://www.amazon.com/OPIS-60s-MICRO-receiver-smartphones/dp/B00865QRGW/ https://www.amazon.com/Mosuch-Telephone-Handset-Receiver-Cellphone/dp/B01N7NNYP4/ https://www.amazon.com/Koicaxy-Telephone-Radiation-Receivers-Computer/dp/B07GV9GZFD/AN HOLISTIC YOGI VEGAN TOLD ME: I use a little headphone set with it and put it down a full 3 feet away from me when I talk and since I did that I have never yet experienced any problem. But holding it in my hand and even talking to speaker phone 1 foot away from ear is too close. People are not going to stop ---The most important thing I experience with cell phones is that I use a little headphone set with it and put it down a full 3 feet away from me when I talk and since I did that I have never yet experienced any problem. But holding it in my hand and even talking to speaker phone 1 foot away from ear is too close and my brains feel POUNDED by some vibration, scrambled, hurting I wonder if others experience this. Maybe NOT so People are not going to stop using CELLS right on their EAR.
But tou understand how to strongly cut down the exposure by keeping it 3 feet away by using headset and not just using speaker phone, is extremely helpful.
Ronald B. Herberman, MD, Director Emeritus of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute has stated,
“Based on substantial evidence, especially from industry-independent studies that long term exposure to radiofrequency radiation may lead to increased risk for brain tumors, I issued a precautionary advisory last year to faculty and staff of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute.
Since then, my particular concern about exposure of children to radiofrequency has been supported by a report from Dr. Lennart Hardell. Some of my scientific colleagues have expressed skepticism about the reported biological effects, especially DNA0A damage by radiofequency radiation, because of the absence of a demonstrated underlying molecular mechanism.
However, based on the precautionary principle, I believe it is more prudent to take seriously the reports by multiple investigators that radiofrequency can damage DNA and increase the risk for brain tumors, and for industry-independent agencies to provide needed funding for detailed research to ascertain the molecular basis for such effects.”
Lloyd Morgan, lead author and member of the Bioelectromagnetics Society says,
“Exposure to cell phone radiation is the largest human health experiment ever undertaken, without informed consent, and has some 4 billion participants enrolled.
Science has shown increased risk of brain tumors from use of cell phones, as well as increased risk of eye cancer, salivary gland tumors, testicular cancer, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and leukemia. The public must be informed.”
Dr. Mercola''s Comments
After a break in the media about the dangers of cell phones, the issue will likely regain momentum with the release of this brand new report.
An International Expert Conference on Cell Phones and Health is scheduled to take place on September 13-15 in Washington D.C., and a yet to be formally announced Senate hearing on cell phone safety is also in the works by Senator Arlen Specter, according to Microwave News.
With the ever-increasing, widespread use of wireless communications, it is imperative to understand the risks inherent in the use of the technology, yet the government has been very slow to respond, no doubt in large part due to industry pressure. (In fact, the cell phone industry is expected to boycott the upcoming conference.)
Ever growing scientific research corroborates the suspicion that information-carrying radio waves transmitted by cell phones and other wireless devices can:
* Cause brain tumors
* Harm blood cells and cause cellular changes
* Damage your DNA
* Cause nerve-cell damage
* Accelerate and contribute to the onset of autism , and trigger Alzheimer’s disease
* Damage your eyes
* Cause sleep disruptions, fatigue and headachesA quote from Chris Woollams, one of the endorsers of the new report, sums up the issue well:
“In a world where a drug cannot be launched without proof that it is safe, where the use of herbs and natural compounds available to all since early Egyptian times are now questioned, their safety subjected to the deepest scrutiny, where a new food cannot be launched without prior approval, the idea that we use mobile telephony, including masts, and introduce WiFi and mobile phones without restrictions around our 5 year olds is double-standards gone mad.
I speak, not just as an editor and scientist that has looked in depth at all the research, but as a father that lost his beloved daughter to a brain tumor.”
Researchers Keep Finding Links Between Cell Phone Use, Brain Damage and Cancer
Last year, a well-circulated Swedish study found that people using cell phones doubled their risk of developing brain cancer and acoustic neuroma (a tumor that damages your hearing nerve).
The study also showed that people who started using cell phones before the age of 20 were more than five times as likely to develop brain cancer.
The European Parliament responded by voting 522 to 16 to urge ministers across Europe to impose stricter limits for exposure to radiation from mobile and cordless phones, wi-fi and other radiation-generating devices -- in part because children are particularly vulnerable to the risk.
Dr. Gerd Oberfeld, M.D., the Speaker for?Environmental Medicine for the Austrian Medical Association in Vienna, Austria says:
"The scientific data show, with a high degree of confidence, that mobile phone exposure is associated with an increased brain tumor risk.
The age group below 20 years is facing the greatest risk, which for malignant (deadly) brain tumors is about 400 percent, compared to non-exposed.
When we take the long latency period of up to some decades into account, and the fact that large parts of our society, and especially more and more teenagers and even children are using mobile phones on a daily basis, we may well expect a brain tumor epidemic.
From a public health perspective there is an urgent need not only for a wake-up call for our society, but for measures that are able to combat this public health threat effectively, now.”
The cell phone industry’s standard comment has been that "the peer-reviewed scientific evidence has overwhelmingly indicated that wireless devices do not pose a public health risk."
This report exposes that statement for the lie that it is.
In fact, there’s no shortage of evidence showing that cell phone use (and other wireless devices) can be dangerous to your health, and to your child in particular.
As this new report points out, even some of the industry’s own research found that cell phones caused brain tumors, and subsequent industry-funded studies from 2000 to 2002 also showed an elevated risk of brain cancer.
One such study reportedly found a 20 percent increased risk of brain tumor for every year of cell phone use!
And, if you remove the Telecom industry funded research, then the weight of the evidence overwhelmingly shows that cell phones cause health problems, including, but not limited to:
* Brain tumors
* Eye cancer
* Testicular cancer
* Salivary gland tumors
* Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
* LeukemiaFortunately more and more people are beginning to take the warning signs seriously.
In 2005, the British-based National Radiological Protection Board suggested children younger than age 8 should not be given a cell phone as it risks exposing their young bodies to harmful radiation. Last year Toronto's department of public health followed suit, warning that because of possible side effects from radio frequency radiation, children under 8 should only use a cell phone in emergencies, and teenagers should limit calls to less than 10 minutes.
The U.K., Belgium, Germany, France and Russia have also introduced precautionary policies regarding cell phone usage due to potential health risks.
Few people realize this, but brain cancer has surpassed leukemia as the number one cancer killer in children, and many scientists believe this is directly linked to the exponential increase in cell phone use and other wireless devices.
Australia has seen an increase in pediatric brain cancers of 21 percent in just one decade. This is consistent with studies showing a 40 percent brain tumor increase across the board in Europe and the U.K. over the last 20 years.
These statistics are consistent with many of the scientific research findings.
Another example is the 2003 study published in Environmental Health Perspectives (the journal of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences). They found that rats exhibited serious neuronal brain damage following exposure to radiation from a cell phone, at levels comparable to what you would experience during normal use.
The nerve cell damage was observed in several places within the rats’ brains, including the cortex, hippocampus and basal ganglia.
The authors concluded,
"Intense use of mobile phones by youngsters is a serious consideration. A neuronal damage of the kind described here may not have immediate, demonstrable consequences, even if repeated. In the long run, however, it may result in reduced brain reserve capacity that might be unveiled by other later neuronal disease or even the wear and tear of aging."
What Can You Do?
Remember, the damage from cell phone exposure can take many years to surface. There are rarely any initial symptoms, just like smoking and lung cancer. Are you really willing to risk the chance of developing brain cancer because you don’t want to sacrifice the minor inconvenience of using your cell’s speaker phone, or using a safe headset?
This should be of particular concern if you have children, since, just like smoking, WiFi does not discriminate between user and bystander.
I have written more in-depth about how to reduce the risk to your child before, and as a refresher, I strongly urge you to review some of that information now.
For a review of HOW cell phones and other wireless technology can cause the type of damage just discussed, I recommend reading this previous article.
In addition, the eye-opening DVD Public Exposure covers this serious health issue in even greater depth. But for immediate recommendations on how to protect yourself and your family from the dangers of cell phone radiation, please review the guidelines included in my previous article, Now Half the World Has a Cell Phone - - Why That is a Brain Tumor Epidemic Waiting to Happen.
Here in Britain, informed people have been aware of the possible links between microwave radiation and brain damage for many years. However, we have a government staffed by politicians who are overwhelmingly arts-educated, and who accept the diktat of the telecommunications industry without question, in the interests of "the economy". Anyone pointing out correlations between mobile phone usage and neurological damage, or between phone mast locations and outbreaks of localized neuro damage, is called a crank and is ignored. So--- keep up the pressure of information!
I just wanted to point out a further, more conventional, possible danger from mobile phones: they are technically toxic! We should all be aware that their manufacture requires the use of a cocktail of "rare earth" and heavy metals, for example mercury, lead, cadmium, neodymium, and a few questionable non-metals, such as arsenic, gallium, and selenium; these are used in the batteries, magnets, photocells, display screen and electronic circuitry. If carefully handled during manufacture these should be well sealed into the structure of the device; however, now that much of the manufacturing and assembly has been farmed out to sweat shops in the far East - how far can we depend on manufacturer's abilities to limit dust leakage during use? Safe disposal is also a problem - I have seen discarded phones lying smashed to pieces on the sidewalk.
As of 2011 the World Health Organization has classified cell phones in the 'possibly carcinogenic to humans'
category, which means there is some evidence of cancer risk but it is not necessarily convincing evidence.
If more up and coming medical professionals in health administration programs considered
the dangers of cell phone usage, it may pressure more public health administration agencies to
investigate the effects of cell phones on users.
