Frank,

I'm confident that Dr. Mercola's article is a leap in the wrong direction.

Jerry Mittelman, DDS, FAPM

Look at this:

 

You Don't Deserve Brain Cancer-

 

You Deserve Facts!

 

By Amy Worthington

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 emit 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

radiofrequency can cumulate over time and lead to harmful effects. He warns

that public exposure to radiation from wireless transmitters " should be

limited to a minimal. "

 

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 earpiece is

used.

 

Recent studies confirm that cell and cordless phone microwave can:

 

*Cause headaches and induce extreme fatigue

 

*Cause memory loss and mental confusion

 

*Precipitate cataracts, retina damage and eye cancer

 

*Create burning sensation and rash on the skin

 

*Damage nerves in the scalp

 

*Induce ringing in the ears, impair sense of smell

 

*Create joint pain, muscle spasms and tremors

 

*Cause digestive problems and raise bad cholesterol levels

 

*Alter the brain's electrical activity during sleep

 

*Open the blood-brain barrier to viruses and toxins

 

*Cause blood cells to leak hemoglobin

 

*Reduce the number and efficiency of white blood cells

 

*Stimulate asthma by producing histamine in mast cells

 

*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 Insiders'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 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 remains incorrigible. Should we be trusting 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. While research and debate

continues, cell phone users have three basic choices:

 

1. Continue heavy microwave bombardment of brain tissues until

disastrous health effects become obvious and irreversible.

 

2. Reduce cell phone usage to under 2-3 minutes per day and never use

the phone in a vehicle.

 

3. Obtain a hands-free speaker phone and keep it away from the body.

Everyone in the room can hear your two-way conversation, but less privacy

sure beats brain fog, blindness and cancer!

 

Excellent web sites offering up-to-date scientific data on microwave

and other radiation issues are: (1)www.energyfields.org

(2)www.microwavenews.com (3)www.emrnetwork.org (4)www.wave-guide.org. E-mail

guru <guru and ask for free updates on

important radiation issues and

studies. Dr. Lai's e-mail is hlai

<hlai.

 

Powerful microwave energy directed at homes, offices and schools can

flow right through windows and walls. Microwave meters and mitigation

devices

are available at: lessemf <lessemf and

www.trifield.com <http://www.trifield.com>. A specialized RF

meter (in the $300 range) is useful for avoiding some environmental exposure

and for keeping the interior of your home safe. Turn your microwave meter on

when you drive. You will discover that from coast to coast, Americans are

being bombarded with communications radiation in the microwave spectrum,

just

like those lucky embassy workers in Moscow who ended up so very sick. USA is

having a real " blast " so to speak! And it is going to get worse as wireless

technologies broaden.

 

It is in everyone's best interest to share the above information with

the uninformed. 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.

Jerry,

 

< I'm confident that Dr. Mercola's article is a leap in the wrong

direction.

 

As you've posted this, I'll chime in and say that while I usually

read the " News " from Mercola--I've often learned things I need to

know--I always do so with a grain of salt. Some of these things

he is selling, which makes me suspect and nervous, and in the

case of this mobile phone, he may be making some kind of

commission on it.
