962239-1612055?_encoding=UTF8) Cell

phones have become an integral part of American (and increasingly the world)

society. They are ubiquitous in the business world and day-to-day life

activities. The authors discuss in detail the risks associated with cell

phones,

particularly those of the digital variety. They tell the all to common tale of

industry PR " spin " vs. public safety and common sense. While it may not be

correct to state that cell phones cause brain cancer, the preliminary

indications and not heart warming.

Thus far clinical studies have shown:

1) Cell phone radiation penetrates deep into the developing brains of

children.

2) Cell phone radiation results in chromosomal damage to blood exposed to

wireless phone radio waves. There is a link between chromosome damage and brain

cancer.

3) Cell phone radiation breaks down the blood brain barrier. Think of the

blood brain barrier as an immune system for the brain. As it breaks down, other

environmental toxins more easily enter the brain and cause damage.

4) A number of studies showed a statistically significant correlation between

brain cancer deaths and cell phone use.

5) Cell phone radiation can cause pacemakers to malfunction is they

(pacemakers) are not properly insulated from cell phones that are within 6

inches of

the pacemaker.

The above are based on elaborate human, animal, and laboratory experiments

that examine the effects of cell phone radiation. The experiments in the book

focus primarily on cell phone use - when the phone is near the head. If cell

phone radiation is able to penetrate the human skull, the effects may be even

more dramatic on soft tissue such as reproductive organs that may be

continuously exposed to radiation by a phone carried in a pants pocket.

Based on the scientific evidence in the book you should avoid using a cell

phone or being around one to be perfectly safe. Since that is not likely, the

following precautions can be taken:

1) Despite the aggressive marketing practices of the industry towards

children, keep cell phones out of the hands of your kids, they are particularly

susceptible to the radiation generated by cell phones.

2) Use a hands free model and keep the phone away from your body.

3) If you put the phone up to your ear, point the antenna away from you.

4) If you have one of those cool little phones with a built in antenna, the

whole phone is an antenna and you are getting a heavier dose of radiation. GET

A HEADSET OR A DIFFERENT PHONE.

5) A cell phone has to pump out more radiation when the signal strength is

low, try not to use the phone unless the signal strength is near 100%.

Initial studies show a clear link between cell phone radiation (especially

associated with digital phones) and adverse health effects. In the next 10 to

20 years the effects will become apparent with the general public serving as

the test subjects. Tread carefully on those wireless stocks over the long

term, and take precautions today so you don't become a statistic. Many thanks

to

Dr. Carlo and Martin Schram for timely well written book packed with critical

info for all wireless customers. "

" Is it possible this billion dollar industry is seeking to silence the author

rather than to allow impartial research? Better to read this book and look

at the evidence that Carlo presents and decide for yourself. "

 

" And even the most skeptical may want to take a few of the simple safety

precautions the authors recommend in a concluding chapter, such as wearing a

headset or earpiece when using a cell phone, in order to keep a distance from

the radiation-emitting antennae. One look at the x-ray photos reproduced in the

book, which show how radiation easily penetrates skulls, will give even the

most impervious observer second thoughts. One thing is probably certain: This

book is a harbinger of litigation. If Carlo and Schram are correct about

their concerns, the cellular industry--as unbelievable as it sounds--may go the

way of Big Tobacco. --John J. Miller "

 

" From Publishers Weekly

In 1993, when the cell phone industry's chief lobbyist hired epidemiologist

and pathologist Carlo to refute claims that cell phones, which had never been

subjected to premarket testing, cause cancer, no one thought he would

discover otherwise. But after six years of exhaustive analysis and scrupulous

peer

review, the results proved, according to this report, that radiation from a

cell phone's antenna can cause the formation of micronuclei red flags for

cancer in the brain. Children in particular are more susceptible to the

radiation

than adults. Carlo reported his findings to the industry and the FDA and

advocated for continued research, but both parties still maintain that cell

phones are safe. Here, Carlo and syndicated columnist Schram retrace Carlo's

scientific undertaking and what they cast as a sinister web of corporate greed

and masterful PR " spin " that choked his efforts. Schram provides the primary

narrative, with Carlo's insights and recollections scattered throughout, a

format that grows repetitive. Despite the captivating story, many consumers

won't

want to slog through the detailed scientific explanations to get to the

bottom-line safety recommendations. Journalists, policymakers and consumer

advocacy groups, however, will find this no-holds-barred book extraordinarily

informative as they continue investigations of the industry. Agent, Ronald L.

Brain and Eye Tumors From Cell Phone Use on the Rise.

 

Last year there were 30,000 cases of brain and eye tumors reported as a

direct result of cell phone use.

 

2006 will see about 50-75,000 new cases of brain and eye tumors and

estimates are that by 2010 there will be 300,000 to 500,000 cases of tumors.

These

numbers are based on an adult averaging 500 minutes per month. Adults do not

use their phones as much as children ages 12-17 whose brain tissues are still

developing and use an average of 1,000 minutes per month now.

 

These numbers come from Dr. George Carlo who headed the wireless industry

research team in the early 90`s and discovered definitively that cell phone use

does cause cancer.

 

The cell industry distanced themselves from Dr. Carlo`s research (they paid

for it - $28 million dollars) when the results came in. Dr. Carlo authored a

book called Cell phones-Invisible Hazards of the Wireless Age in the mid

90`s. He recently founded the non-profit organization -- Safe Wireless

Initiative -- to bring this information to the public.
