Jeff Rense Radio Show. ____________________________________ Two Year Study Finds Possible Cell Phone Danger To Brain By Victoria Fletcher Consumer Correspondent ThisIsLondon.com 6-20-2 Radiation from mobile phones causes changes in the brain which could pose risks to health, an authoritative two-year study has concluded. In ground-breaking research on the effects of radiation on the brain - which has for the first time used human cells rather than rats - scientists found that even low-level emissions from handsets affects cells. They believe the changes could disable a safety barrier in the body which is meant to protect the brain from harmful substances in the blood. The scientists are now calling for further research to discover how important the effects on health might be. The study, conducted by the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority in Finland, found that exposing human cells to one hour of mobile phone radiation triggered a response which normally only occurs when cells are being damaged. This led the cells which make up blood vessel walls to shrink, allowing tiny molecules to pass through into brain tissue. The report's conclusion warns: "The possible RF-EMF (radiation-induced breakage of the blood-brain barrier), if occurring repeatedly over a long period of time, might become a health hazard because of the possible extra-capillary accumulation of molecules that might cause brain tissue damage." The study is a an important step forward in mobile phone research because it has proved biochemical changes, which were found to occur in rats, also occur in human cells. Scientists now need to discover how the human body reacts to such changes and whether it can cope, or if there are serious health threats. Professor Darius Leszczynski, who will present the research at a conference in Canada this month, said he could confirm that radiation from mobile phones does affect the delicate make-up of human cells. "We have shown there are biochemical changes in human cells," he told the Evening Standard. "Other studies in animals have shown this can lead to a leakage in the blood brain barrier. "So what I believe is that we will find these leaks occur in humans too. What we do not know is the extent of these leaks and whether they have an effect on our health. "Our bodies may be able to cope with it so there will be no risks. But it could be found that, over time, the effects on health could be much more significant." Two years ago, a government inquiry into mobile phones led by Sir William Stewart concluded there was no evidence of a risk to health. But he advised that caution is taken over the use of mobiles by children until more evidence on the impact on health is gathered. Despite multi-million pound research across the world since then, the effects of long-term use still remains unclear. But recently, a handful of studies have begun to raise questions over safety. A survey of 11,000 people in Sweden and Norway found that many suffer from headaches and tiredness after using the gadgets. Another study, by Swedish cancer specialist Lennart Hardell, suggested that using the old analogue mobiles, popular in the early Nineties, increased the risk of cancer. His research is now at the centre of a lawsuit in the US. Judges are deciding whether it provides enough proof of a link between cancer and mobile phones for claimants to take manufacturers to court. However, the growing body of research on mobiles and health is leading some countries to consider action. China is debating whether to force phone companies to reduce the levels of radiation. British experts said last night there was no need for panic. They insisted that more research was needed. © Associated Newspapers Ltd., 19 June 2002 |
![]() | Dr George Carlo speaks on wi-fi radiation schools PT. 1 To learn more go to http://www.CellphoneLies.com http://www.emfnews.org A cellular phone is basically a radio that sends signals on waves to a base station. The carrier signal generates two types of radiation fields: a near-field plume and a far-field plume. Living organisms, too, generate electromagnetic fields at the cellular, tissue, organ, and organism level; this is called the biofield. Both the near-field and far-field plumes from cell phones and in the environment can wreak havoc with the human biofield, and when the biofield is compromised in any way, says Dr. Carlo, so is metabolism and physiology. "The near field plume is the one we're most concerned with. This plume that's generated within five or six inches of the center of a cell phone's antenna is determined by the amount of power necessary to carry the signal to the base station," he explains. "The more power there is, the farther the plume radiates the dangerous information-carrying radio waves." A carrier wave oscillates at 1900 megahertz (MHz) in most phones, which is mostly invisible to our biological tissue and doesn't do damage. The information-carrying secondary wave necessary to interpret voice or data is the problem, says Dr. Carlo. That wave cycles in a hertz (Hz) range familiar to the body. Your heart, for example, beats at two cycles per second, or two Hz. Our bodies recognize the information-carrying wave as an "invader," setting in place protective biochemical reactions that alter physiology and cause biological problems that include intracellular free-radical buildup, leakage in the blood-brain barrier, genetic damage, disruption of intercellular communication, and an increase in the risk of tumors. The health dangers of recognizing the signal, therefore, aren't from direct damage, but rather are due to the biochemical responses in the cell. Here's what happens: Cellular energy is now used for protection rather than metabolism. Cell membranes harden, keeping nutrients out and waste products in. Waste accumulating inside the cells creates a higher concentration of free radicals, leading to both disruption of DNA repair (micronuclei) and cellular dysfunction. Unwanted cell death occurs, releasing the micronuclei from the disrupted DNA repair into the fluid between cells (interstitial fluid), where they are free to replicate and proliferate. This, says Dr. Carlo, is the most likely mechanism that contributes to cancer. Damage occurs to proteins on the cell membrane, resulting in disruption of intercellular communication. When cells can't communicate with each other, the result is impaired tissue, organ, and organism function. In the blood-brain barrier, for example, cells can't keep dangerous chemicals from reaching the brain tissue, which results in damage. With the background levels of information-carrying radio waves dramatically increasing because of the widespread use of cell phones,Wi-Fi, and other wireless communication, the effects from the near and far-fields are very similar. Overall, says Dr. Carlo, almost all of the acute and chronic symptoms seen in electrosensitive patients can be explained in some part by disrupted intercellular communication. These symptoms of electrosensitivity include inability to sleep, general malaise, and headaches. Could this explain the increase in recent years of conditions such as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism, and anxiety disorder?To learn more go to http://www.CellphoneLies.com http://www.emfnews.org |
![]() | Psych ad 2 - government ad Pitch to hock our institution products to governments Following is on the fundamentals of the treatment method. It is written by my partner in this project: Bracelet (codename "ADAM") containing 5-hydroxytryptophan and SSRIs in separate release systems controlled by the same radio system is attached to the subject's right wrist (giving it a primary flow to the left hemisphere, where we can do the most emotional damage per unit chemical). The bracelet is designed in such a way that it can only be mechanically removed, thus preventing interference from curious patients. The bracelet should have no identifying features, so as to convince patients that it is merely a method of identification within the institution-- not a hormonal control system. This may help to prevent tampering. Staff will observe the subjects though personal interaction, without making their observations evident. Subjects will constantly and unknowingly placed within scenarios, appearing to occur naturally to the subject, where a positive or negative resolution may be attempted. In the event that the positive resolution is attempted (which will generally require some sort of sacrifice on the subject's part in the interest of long-term or interpersonal gain), a relative dosage of 5-hydroxytryptophan will be administered through the bracelet, which will cross the blood- brain barrier and produce 5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)--artifical serotonin. This dosage will be stimulated remotely by the observer, who will have the necessary radio controls placed inconspicously on their watch as if time adjustment instruments. The watch, like the bracelet, will appear as though an identifying standard of the institution, to justify its presence on all observational staff members. Since an individual watch will affect an individual bracelet, it is ensured that hormonal adjustments can be administered only by the assigned observational staff member. This is to ensure that manipulation is performed only by members who individually understand the patients, so as to generate a learning curve. Inversely, under the event of a negative resolution, SSRIs are administered. These re-uptake inhibitors cause an initial release of serotonin, but prevent them from entering adjacent neuron receptors. As a result, negative resolutions will be accompanied by an initial slight elation (measured by the body's inherent presence of serotonin), shortly followed by a serotonin deficiency, as both the artificial and natural serotonin is kept locked within the synapse until it naturally degrades into 5-hydroxytryptophan and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5HIAA). The former will slowly diffuse across the blood-brain barrier and replace the natural serotonin content, while the latter is harmlessly excreted. Due to the lack of osmotic difference on either side of the blood-brain barrier, the restoration of serotonin after a negative resolution will be very slow. As a result, negative consequences will greatly outlast positive ones, with the turnaround period relative to the SSRI dosage. Additionally, the SSRI affects on both artificial and natural serotonin would cause the detrimental affects to be much more dramatic in terms of magnitude than the 5-hydroxytryptophan dosages. The forecasted result is a mimickry of short term gain for long term pain, with negative consequence vastly outweighing positive reward. After several years of this treatment, the subject will have a psysiological and psychological pre-disposition to the taught behaviour. The brain will anticipate non-existance SSRI injections even after removal of the bracelet, and produce serotonin in relative response, thus mimicking the bracelet's effects. Additionally, the subject will have a natural mental dispositions towards the taught behaviours, and will develop a psychological expectation of the reward/punishment system under which it had functioned for a length of time. These psychological factors will again lead into psysiological factors, creating a self-perpetuating circle of self-sustained behaviour. Given that the subject is trained thusly during the developmental years, such as 6 months to 5 years, the lingering effects of the training are expected to remain for the subject's entire remaining lifetime. The result: several years of early conditioning can pay off with a lifetime of compulsively proper social behaviour. Other applications for this technique are emerging, such as militaristic training and conditioning for menial labour under poor conditions. Such possibilities as a perfect, ununionized labour force, and a cooperatively- minded war machine lay just above the horizon. |

Because MSG is absorbed very quickly in the gastrointestinal tract (unlike glutamic acid-containing proteins in foods), MSG could spike blood plasma levels of glutamate. Glutamic acid is in a class of chemicals known as excitotoxins, high levels of which have been shown in animal studies to cause damage to areas of the brain unprotected by the blood-brain barrier and that a variety of chronic diseases can arise out of this neurotoxicity.

If you've read How Cell Phones Work, then you know that cell phones emit signals via radio waves, which are comprised of radio-frequency (RF) energy, a form of electromagnetic radiation. There's a lot of talk in the news these days about whether or not cell phones emit enough radiation to cause adverse health effects. The concern is that cell phones are often placed close to or against the head during use, which puts the radiation in direct contact with the tissue in the head. There's evidence supporting both sides of the argument. In this article, we will further explore this controversial issue. You'll find out how cell phones generate radiation and how they are tested for radiation levels. http://www.emfnews.org |

To learn more go to http://www.emfnews.org/cell-phone-radiation-book.html http://www.emfnews.org http://www.cellphonelies.com "Scientists from Colorado University have shown that frequent mobile users had significantly depressed melatonin - a vital cancer-preventing hormone. An Australian study has linked the phones to a higher rate of brain cancer while a Swedish survey suggested that using a mobile phone for more than 15 minutes could lead to headaches and fatigue."22 The most difficult area of research is the complexity of interactions that are possible. Nevertheless a great deal can be gained by looking at the very specific sources of EMFs in determining both their effects and ways to limit human exposure. "It is difficult to deny that RFR at low intensity can affect the nervous system. However, data available suggest a complex reaction of the nervous system to RFR. Exposure to RFR does produce various effects on the central nervous system. The response is not likely to be linear with respect to the intensity of the radiation. Other parameters of RFR exposure, such as frequency, duration, waveform, frequency- and amplitude-modulation, etc, are important determinants of biological responses and affect the shape of the dose (intensity)-response relationship. In order to understand the possible health effects of exposure to RFR from mobile telephones, one needs first to understand the effects of these different parameters and how they interact with each other."23 As we have increased our exposure to both chemicals and EMFs in the last three decades we have seen certain brain cancers increase in all age groups by 1% a year. Since 1980 those 65 and older have increased 2.5% a year. Among those over 85 the increase has been as much as 500% since 1973.24 http://www.emfnews.org/qlinks.html Brain Tumors? "Two new studies have shown links between mobile phone usage and brain tumors. The studies are not absolutely conclusive but the American and Swedish authors have urged users to ration use of mobile phones until more is known. Dr. [Lennart] Hardel's study, as yet unpublished, looked at brain tumor sufferers. It found a correlation between phone use and cancer. His study showed that mobile phone use, regardless which side of the head it was held against, increased the risk of a brain tumor by almost two and a half times."26 Some of the leading researchers were contracted by Motorola to carry out some experiments. Two of the world's leading radiation experts reported to The Express that multinational companies tried to influence the results of their research. "Professor Ross Adey, a biologist, had his funding withdrawn by Motorola before completing research which showed that mobiles affected the number of brain tumors in animals. Dr. Henry Lai, who has been studying the biological effects of electromagnetic fields for 20 years, was asked three times to change findings on how they caused DNA breaks in rats."27 Both of these scientists have been involved in academic, military and other research projects throughout their lives. In fact many of their observations on the health effects of EMFs have been used in increasing the military's understanding of these potential weapons applications as reported in our earlier work.28"Jerry Phillips, who has a doctorate in biochemistry, worked with U.C. Riverside's [Ross] Adey on Motorola-funded research beginning in 1991." He describes a pleasant relationship with them until studies linked exposure to changes in the incidence of brain tumors in rats. "Motorola was adamant that Adey never mention DNA damage and RF radiation in the same breath," Phillips said. "Motorola has been manipulative of research that we and others have reported to them," said Adey. "Essentially they cut us off because we were too inquisitive."Adey found that some frequencies of RFR lessened the incidence of tumors in rats. Motorola was unwilling to recognize this test, not wanting to admit any biological effects of RFR whatsoever."Phillips, Adey, and others said they see a strong parallel between what's happening now and the decades of denial by the tobacco industry..." http://www.emfnews.org/qlinks.html Though 40% of the energy radiated from cell phones is absorbed by the head, the amount is not significant enough to cause heating. Evidence points to DNA damage as a source of the health problems associated with cell phone use. It is suggested that RFR may hinder the ability of DNA to repair itself.29 To learn more go to http://www.emfnews.org/cell-phone-radiation-book.html http://www.emfnews.org http://www.cellphonelies.com |

Could this explain the increase in recent years of conditions such as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism, and anxiety disorder? "One thing all these conditions have in common is a disruption, to varying degrees, of intercellular communication. When we were growing up, TV antennas were on top of our houses and such waves were up in the sky. Cell phones and Wi-Fi have brought those things down to the street, integrated them into the environment, and that's absolutely new. The recognition mechanism, where protein vibration sensors on the cell membrane pick up a signal and interpret it as an invader, only works because the body recognizes something it's never seen before." As to increases in brain tumors tied to cell phone use, it's too early to tell due to a lack of hard data, says Dr. Carlo. "We're never going to see that in time to have it matter. Here in the US, we're six years behind in getting the brain tumor database completed, and currently the best data are from 1999. By the time you see any data showing an increase, the ticking time bomb is set." Epidemic curve projections, however, indicate that in 2006, we can expect to see 40,000 to 50,000 cases of brain and eye cancer. This is based on published peer-reviewed studies that allow calculation of risk and construction of epidemic curves. By 2010, says Dr. Carlo, expect that number to be between 400,000 and 500,000 new cases worldwide. To learn more go to http://www.CellphoneLies.com http://www.emfnews.org |
