- Your cell phone is a microwave transmitter and it should
bear a cancer warning! Microwave energy oscillates at millions to billions
of cycles per second. The Journal of Cellular Biochemistry reports that
these frequencies cause cancer and other diseases by interfering with cellular
DNA and its repair mechanisms. Microwave promotes rapid cell aging. Italian
scientists have recently demonstrated that cell phone radiation makes cancerous
cells grow aggressively. Cordless phones marked 900 megahertz or 2.4 gigahertz
emit the same dangerous microwave radiation as cell phones.
-
- The connection between microwave exposure and cancer
has been documented for years. During the Cold War, the Soviets irradiated
the U.S. embassy in Moscow, Russia, with low level, twin-beam microwave
radiation. Two successive ambassadors developed leukemia. Other staffers
also developed cancer, or their blood showed DNA damage, which precedes
cancer.
-
- Research by University of Washington professor Dr. Henry
Lai shows brain cells are clearly damaged by microwave levels far below
the U.S. government's "safety" guidelines. Dr. Lai notes that
even tiny doses of radiofrequency can cumulate over time and lead to harmful
effects. He warns that public exposure to radiation from wireless transmitters
"should be limited to a minimal."
-
- Motorola advises consumers to avoid pointing a cellular
antenna toward exposed parts of the body. But independent tests show
that cell phones can also leak huge amounts of radiation from the keypad
and mouthpiece. This radiation deeply penetrates brain, ear and eye tissues,
which are especially susceptible to microwave damage. Belt clip cases
allow cell phones to deliver radiation to the liver or kidney areas when
a wired, hands-free earpiece is used.
-
- Recent studies confirm that cell and cordless phone microwave
can:
-
- *Cause headaches and induce extreme fatigue
-
- *Cause memory loss and mental confusion
-
- *Precipitate cataracts, retina damage and eye cancer
-
- *Create burning sensation and rash on the skin
-
- *Damage nerves in the scalp
-
- *Induce ringing in the ears, impair sense of smell
-
- *Create joint pain, muscle spasms and tremors
-
- *Cause digestive problems and raise bad cholesterol levels
-
- *Alter the brain's electrical activity during sleep
-
- *Open the blood-brain barrier to viruses and toxins
-
- *Cause blood cells to leak hemoglobin
-
- *Reduce the number and efficiency of white blood cells
-
- *Stimulate asthma by producing histamine in mast cells
-
- *Stress the endocrine system, especially pancreas, thyroid,
ovaries, testes

- In 1993, the telecom industry committed $25 million dollars
for a series of research projects designed to prove that cell phones are
safe. The studies proved just the opposite! They proved that federal microwave
exposure standards are dangerously inadequate. Cell damage and tumors can
be easily induced in the lab at about one third of the FCC's exposure
guidelines.
-
-
- The telecom boys panicked. They and their lackey politicians
and federal regulators decided the only lucrative thing to do was to LIE
and DENY. Despite damning evidence, the FDA still prevaricates: "There
is no reason to conclude that there are health risks posed by cell phones
to consumers." Meantime, the telecom industry has been pressing
to INCREASE BY MORE THAN 10 TIMES the allowable human exposure to cell
phone radiation!
-
- Luckily, Dr. George Carlo headed up the industry's
study project. He presents the shocking facts in his book, Cell Phones:
Invisible Hazards in the Wireless Age: An Insiders's Alarming Discoveries
About Cancer and Genetic Damage (Carroll and Graf, 2001). A summary of
Dr. Carlo's book is this: Cell phones are hot, adequate protective
regulations are naught, and Americans are being "fried" so
that the deceitful telecom industry can rake it in! It's dirty business
as usual, and the longer the industry can con the public, the more billions
it collects.
-
- On June 16, 2002, CBS aired a Sixty Minutes segment
which confirmed the telecom industry is about grungy as it gets. CBS producers
accused major phone service providers of cheating, scamming, forging
signatures, switching phone service without permission and lying about
charges. The attorney general of Connecticut stated that despite millions
of dollars in fines each year, these companies remains incorrigible.
Should we be trusting this industry with our brain tissues and our very
lives?
-
- Microwave to the head is extremely hazardous to children.
Parents in some European nations are now warned to keep children away
from cell phones. A University of Utah researcher found the younger the
child, the more radiation is absorbed by the brain. Spanish researchers
have shown that cell phones can alter electrical activity of a child's
brain for hours, causing drastic mood changes and possible behavior and
learning disabilities. Scientists fear that cell phone radiation could
damage human embryos. Pregnant women are advised to be wary.
-
- A cell phone must greatly increase its field strength
to maintain communications within the metallic cage of an auto. Thus,
the effect of microwave radiation inside a vehicle is especially intense.
Volkswagen of Europe has warned that cell phone usage inside a car can
be "injurious to health due to the extremely high electromagnetic
fields generated."
-
- Insurance studies in England showed that an average driver
talking on a cell is actually more impaired in function and reaction
time than a drunk. Finland's Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority reports
that one hour of exposure to mobile phone radiation can cause human cells
to shrink. Researchers believe this is due to increased protein activity,
an indicator of cell damage. What an unstable world needs now is a global
population afflicted with incredible shrinking brains!
-
- Brain cancer rates in USA have increased by 25% since
1975. In 2001, 185,000 Americans were diagnosed with some form of brain
cancer. A grade four brain tumor can grow from the size of a grape to
tennis ball size in just 4 months. Brain tumors are almost always fatal
and most people die within 6-12 months after diagnosis. On April 7, 2002,
Sixty Minutes aired a fascinating report on brain cancer, explaining that
scientists are unsure why incidence of the disease is growing so exponentially.
Ironically, the segment was followed by a Sprint ad, which advised parents
that the best way to keep track of teenagers is to connect them to a cell
phone. While researchers say that radical damage to the brain can occur
within the first few minutes of conversation, telecom ads encourage customers
to spend many hours on the phone each month. Those blazing, full-page
cell phone ads in newspapers and magazines must be the reason cell phone
dangers are almost never discussed in the mainstream media.
-
- An excellent resource tool is Robert Kane's book Cellular
Telephone Russian Roulette (Vantage Press, 2001). As a telecommunications
expert, Kane presents an impressive collection of studies showing that
both government agencies and cell phone manufacturers KNEW YEARS AGO that
cell phone radiation at present exposure levels is dangerous to human health.
He notes that cell phones would be rendered useless if their RF emissions
were reduced to safe levels.
-
- Reports of illness from heavy cell phone usage and
from living or working close to powerful RF transmitters are synchronous
with numerous cancer-related lawsuits now being filed against the cell
phone industry. The insurance industry sees big trouble ahead. Underwriters
for Lloyd's of London refuse to insure phone manufacturers against damage
to users' health. Cell phones are today what tobacco was 40 years ago.
While research and debate continues, cell phone users have three basic
choices:
-
- 1. Continue heavy microwave bombardment of brain tissues
until disastrous health effects become obvious and irreversible.
-
- 2. Reduce cell phone usage to under 2-3 minutes per
day and never use the phone in a vehicle.
-
- 3. Obtain a hands-free speaker phone and keep it away
from the body. Everyone in the room can hear your two-way conversation,
but less privacy sure beats brain fog, blindness and cancer!

- Excellent web sites offering up-to-date scientific data
on microwave and other radiation issues are: (1)www.energyfields.org (2)www.microwavenews.com
(3)www.emrnetwork.org (4)www.wave-guide.org. E-mail guru@emfguru.org and
ask for free updates on important radiation issues and studies. Dr. Lai's
e-mail is hlai@washington.edu.
-
- Powerful microwave energy directed at homes, offices
and schools can flow right through windows and walls. Microwave meters
and mitigation devices are available at: lessemf@lessemf.com and www.trifield.com.
A specialized RF meter (in the $300 range) is useful for avoiding some
environmental exposure and for keeping the interior of your home safe.
Turn your microwave meter on when you drive. You will discover that from
coast to coast, Americans are being bombarded with communications radiation
in the microwave spectrum, just like those lucky embassy workers in Moscow
who ended up so very sick. USA is having a real "blast" so
to speak! And it is going to get worse as wireless technologies broaden.
-
- It is in everyone's best interest to share the above
information with the uninformed. Some people appear to have an almost
pathological emotional attachment to their cell phones and there is a fascinating
suggestion that cell radiation pulses might actually be addictive to the
human brain. We can't save those who would rather die than switch. But
ethics compelled us to ensure that all reasonable people have access to
the basic scientific facts.
