Cell Phone Risks Updated - You Don't Deserve Brain Cancer

CNN's Larry King Live will devote tomorrow's
(Tuesday's)show to cell phone health risks. It
was prompted by the last week's alert from the
University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute.

There was extensive coverage of Dr. Ronald Herberman's
warning --much of it based on the Associated Press story.
Unfortunately the AP story suffers from a number of
serious errors as well as misplaced emphases.

Here are a few of the serious errors as reported by
Microwave News at: www.microwavenews.com

1) The AP reporters cite a 2008 University of Utah
meta-analysis of nine published studies as finding
no brain tumor risks among cell phone users. In fact,
it did point to a 25% increase among long-term users,
that is, those who had used a mobile phone for ten
or more years. This increase reached (just)
statistical significance.

2) The AP states that Herberman is relying on the
as-yet unpublished Interphone study, a 13-country
effort to investigate possible tumor risks from
cell phone use. It's true that the overall Interphone
results have not yet been public —it's now close to
three years behind schedule— but a number of the
participating countries, either individually or in
groups, have reported elevated incidences of three
different types of tumors: glioma (brain tumors),
acoustic neuroma, and parotid gland tumors among
long-term users. These findings have been published
in leading peer-reviewed journals.

3) The AP states that the Interphone study suffers
from selection bias and casts doubt on the reliability
of its risk estimates. This remains an open and highly
contested issue among members of the project team and
is a major reason for the delay in the release of the
final results. While the NRC's recent report cites
selection bias as a possible confounder, it also
details other reasons as to why the Interphone study
may underestimate the risks. It is far too early to
toss out the project's final results as unreliable.
Shouldn't we at least wait for it to be published
before trashing ten years of work?

4) While the French Interphone study does not show
significant elevated risks, it does point to increases.
These were sufficiently strong to prompt the French
Ministry of Health to issue an advisory reiterating
the recommendation that children be discouraged from
using mobile phones.

5) It's true that most studies have not indicated a
tumor risk, but most of these have only looked at
short-term users. For instance, the Muscat study
included only 17 cases which had used a phone for
four or more years. The NCI study also had very
few long-term users: 22 who had used a cell phone
for five years or more. Neither discloses how many
had used a phone for at least ten years — maybe none.

6) It's also true that the Danish study showed no
increased risks. But as a cohort study it could not
provide any information on the side of the head the
phone was used, which, not surprisingly, turns out
to be a key variable. The study also excluded
corporate accounts, which tended to have the heaviest
users.

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 ear piece
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.
