This documentary by Australia's
ABC TV may change the way
you look at your cell phone.
A scientific paper bravely
published by a leading radiation
biologist, Prof. Dariusz Leszczynski
now allows top neurologists, like
Keith Black, MD of Los Angeles'
Cedars-Sinai Hospital to issue
warnings to their patients about
the dangers of cell phone use,
which he describes as "Cooking
the brain".
The cell phone industry retaliated
against Leszczynski by lobbying
to have his funding stopped and in
the meantime, insurance companies
in the US stopped coverage for
health damages related to cell
phone use.
Brain tumors associated with cell
phone use has replaced leukemia
as the number one child-killer.
Men who store cell phones in their
pockets are assured lower sperm
counts and there is a rash of young
women contracting breast cancer, in
the very spot where they tuck their
cellphones in their bras.
You can expect to receive the
following measurable doses of
radiation, using a standard radiation
measuring device: 1) Microwave
oven: 800 microvolts, 2) WiFi Router:
800 microvolts, 3) Tablet PC: 2,000
microvolts (watching a movie), 4)
Smartphone: 40,000 microvolts
(Samsung S3). This last device
emits over a thousand times the
normal background radiation level
of 30 microvolts.
The use of cell phones and other
wireless technologies is being called
the next 'casualty catastrophe,'
after tobacco and asbestos. iPhones
now all contain a legal disclaimer
page with fine print, which cannot
be enlarged and which is relatively
difficult to locate within the phone's
navigation. It discloses the dangers
of radiation exposure from cell
phones and advises users to keep
the device at least 10mm from the
body - but it's next to impossible to
find on the device.
After conducting studies, the
International Agency for Research
on Cancer (IARC) in Lyon, France
has officially classified radio wave
radiation as a Class 2B Carcinogen
(a possible cause of cancer). At the
same time, a US wireless lobbying
group called the CTIA assures us
that "Radio waves from cell phones
are safe" and studies paid for by the
cell phone industry claim that, "Cell
phone use causes no biological
damage."
However, independent studies
consistently report serious health
effects, ranging from DNA damage,
a 300% reduction in sperm counts,
290% more brain tumors, autism
and birth defects.
Former senior White House adviser,
Epidemiologist, Dr. Devra Davis,
who appears in this film testified to
the US Senate and has given a hair-
raising reports about the back-stories
behind these contradictory scientific
reports: The independent scientists
who reported on the ill effects of
cell phones found themselves under
attack by the cellphone industry, who
would attempt to get them fired and
to get their funding taken away or
else accuse them of fraud. When
that didn't work, they hired
inexperienced scientists who didn't
know anything about the subject to
*look* like they were replicating the
incriminating experiments - and
when all of the above didn't work,
they wrote an internal memo, in
which they stated, "We war-gamed
the science."
To prove a point, one scientist wrote
a paper on the subject, laden with
obvious errors, which was published
in numerous science journals and
translated in over 15 countries.
Journalist, Anthony Gucciardi had
previously proven how easy it is for
industry to plant fake science in such
publications in the very similar case
involving the drug Prozac, which was
long ago proven to increase the
incidence of suicide among users
and to cause violent behavior in the
1980s - but hidden from the public
until 2005 until there was a BBC
expose.
In response, the manufacturers hired
their own scientists to prove how
"great" Prozac was. However,
producers of anti-depressants today
are forced to disclose these side
effects, which one reads in their
accompanying manuals or overhear,
in the blindingly-fast and unintelligible
disclosure statements that run during
television advertisements for these
products.
People who know the details believe
that once the public becomes aware
of these dangerous side effects, the
public outcry will be worse than it
was for cigarettes.
Dr. Louis Slesin, editor of Microwave
News since 1981 says, "The system is
broken, nobody has been told the
truth. It's crazy."
He says that it's one thing for the
tobacco industry to finally admit to
the dangers of smoking tar and
nicotine, after centuries of being on
the market because the science,
which would eventually prove that
cigarettes and secondhand smoke
damaged human health did not yet
exist when tobacco was initially
marketed - but cell phones were
launched after preliminary
science was already available
as to its inherent dangers and
these products were released
into the public without any
safety studies, whatsoever!
The point is to take action. Action is
already being taken in Europe: In
Italy, a landmark supreme court ruling
found a "causal link" between cell
phone use and brain tumors. In France,
WiFi is being taken down and replaced
with cabled Internet in schools and
countries from Germany to Israel and
Finland are moving to stop cell phone
sales to kids. In the UK, children under
the age of 18, have been barred from
cell phone use for several years,
already.
But of course, in the Good Ol' USA, the
former chief lobbyist for the wireless
industry, Thomas Wheeler was
appointed by President Barack
Obama to head up the Federal
Communications Commission
(FCC), which regulates the safety
of wireless devices, in yet another
astonishing conflict-of-interest in
the choice of appointed US Federal
Regulators, who better resemble
wolves guarding the sheep than
advocates for the health of the
public at-large.
