Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Do You Have a Leaky Blood-Brain Barrier? Over 100 years ago, scientists injected blue dye into the blood of animals. All the tissues of the body turned blue, except for the brain and spinal cord. Cells of the capillaries fit together tightly in the brain keeping many substances out. Nature designed the Blood-Brain Barrier to protect the sensitive cells of the brain. It keeps out many toxic elements, chemicals and drugs, etc., that could disrupt brain function. A 2-year study led by D. Leszcynski of Finland's Radiation & Nuclear Safety Authority indicates that Cell and Mobile Phones Cause Human Cell Changes - can negatively affect the Blood-Brain Barrier Cell phone radiation causes increased activity in the proteins of human cells grown in a lab. Leszcynski speculates that, if such activity causes blood vessel cells to shrink, it could create gaps between the cells, making the barrier around the brain easier to penetrate. This has been referred to as " Leaky Blood-Brain Barrier. " What of dental patients who get mercury fillings, and then use a cell phone! There's more: Radiation-induced changes in the cells could also interfere with the normal death process of apoptosis. If cells that are " marked " to die do not,, tumors can form. Beyond the basic nervous system, this problem has to affect every organ and system of the body. --from Reuters - www;drpressman.com W.H.O. Chief Shuns Cell Phones OSLO (Reuters) - World Health Org. chief Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland warned parents Monday against letting their children spend too much time on mobile telephones and said their electromagnetic waves give her a headache. Brundtland, the WHO director-general, does not own a mobile phone and forbids anyone to use one in her Geneva office, saying this is to protect herself from the electromagnetic waves. " If you enter my office, you are invited by me. No one who is invited would like to give me headaches, " Brundtland said at a news conference in Oslo, Norway, where she attended an international conference on cancer. Electromagnetic radiation exposure incites our stress reaction, and this leads to all sorts of mischief in our bodies. Hormones go on 'alert,' and go off-balance - we grind and clench more - our saliva flows more slowly. Over a period of time our immune response suffers. And all these have obvious dental implications. Take your cue from Dr. Brundtland and keep at least 6 to 8 feet away from anyone on a cell phone.
