Default Cell Phone Risks

Subject: Cell Phone Risks - You Don't Deserve Brain Cancer!

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.

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 emits 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 radio frequency can cumulate over time and
lead to harmful effects. He warns that public exposure to radiation
from wireless transmitters 'should be limited to a minimum.'

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:

* Damage nerves in the scalp

* Cause blood cells to leak hemoglobin

* Cause memory loss and mental confusion

* Cause headaches and induce extreme fatigue

* Create joint pain, muscle spasms and tremors

* Create burning sensation and rash on the skin

* Alter the brain's electrical activity during sleep

* Induce ringing in the ears, impair sense of smell

* Precipitate cataracts, retina damage and eye cancer

* Open the blood-brain barrier to viruses and toxins

* Reduce the number and efficiency of white blood cells

* Stimulate asthma by producing histamine in mast cells

* Cause digestive problems and raise bad cholesterol levels

* 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 Insider'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 as 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 remain incorrigible. Should we trust 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.

I am working on creating wildlife habitat that is off-limits to
humans ("pure habitat"). Want to help? (I spent the previous 8
years fighting auto dependence and road construction.)

Please don't put a cell phone next to any part of your body that you are fond of!

Mike,

You certainly are a worthless dime-store ass. Do some real research
before you post nonsense.

OF COURSE!!!!!

I think that you (and all people like you) should use MORE your
cell phones.

So we get rid of you without any effort.

I have stopped warning people about cell phones. Why should I?

Better the problem solves without any intervention from my part.
Just WAIT.

Here in France most people know about the risks, but still the "thrill"
of using their cell phones overweights a cancer somewhere in the future.

Since incubation time is very long (5-10 years) and depends on the
type of person involved (susceptibility to cancer, exposure, other
risk increasing factors like polluted air, tobacco, etc) the people
using cell phones now (and with a heavy use story of about 5 years)
should start dying in 3-4 years.

Please buy this new models of cell phones I have seen in the taxi
drivers here in Paris. It is a gizmo that you put in your ear,
like a hearing aid, but heavier, and with an integrated cell phone.

Very small, very "chic", and you are exposed to brain damaging
radiation at least 10-12 hours per day. This people will be the
first to die.

Then will follow the teens that speak and speak and speak about
nothing important for hours and hours. They will die when they
are 25-35.

Then the general people that are susceptible to cancer and did not
know about it. They will know then, when it is too late.

I remember when we fought against asbestos here in France in the
seventies. How people laughed at us, at our stupid "scare tactics"
about this inoffensive white powder.

Now, after 30 years, approximately 3 000 people are dying of cancer
provoked by exposure to asbestos each year.

We lost.

When this cell phone mania started I saw the risk, and started trying
to do something against it, just by speaking about it to people
in the street. Most of them knew about the risks, most of them did not
care. They just laughed at me and history repeats itself. I stopped.

Why bother?

GO ON "Ride a lot" GO ON. USE YOUR CELL PHONE!!!!!!!!!!

USE IT ALL THE TIME!!!!

Any citations for that and the rest of it? Do people get addicted
to microwave ovens? :-)

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 radio frequency can cumulate over time and
lead to harmful effects. He warns that public exposure to radiation

http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20030222/fob1.asp

A single 2-hour exposure to the microwaves emitted by some cell
phones kills brain cells in rats, a group of Swedish
researchers claims. If confirmed, the results would be the
first to directly link cell-phone radiation to brain damage in
any animal.

No such evidence exists for people. But with cell-phone use
skyrocketing, some scientists recommend precautionary
measures%G—%@for example, avoiding excessive
gabbing on the phones.


Henry C. Lai of the University of Washington in Seattle finds
Salford's new results "quite intriguing." He says, "The energy
absorbed by the rats was really low compared to what a person
gets when using a cell phone." Particularly if the effects add
up over time, Lai says, regular use of cell phones could be
problematic.


Note the difference: Lai says "if the effects add up over time" and
Mike V. spins it so the "if" is missing!


Motorola advises consumers to avoid pointing a cellular antenna
toward exposed parts of the body.


No s___. You should definitely not point an external antenna towards
your eye, even if the phone is missing its battery. :-)
