BRAIN TUMORS FROM CELL PHONE USE INCREASED 2012-2014

IN MAY 2011, THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION STATED THAT CELL PHONE RADIATION CAN CAUSE CANCER.

THEY MAY HAVE BEEN FORCED INTO MAKING THIS STATEMENT AFTER SO MANY INDEPENDENT STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THE CORRELATION BETWEEN EXTENSIVE CELL PHONE USE AND BRAIN TUMORS.  AS CNN REPORTED:
A team of 31 scientists from 14 countries, including the United States, made the decision after reviewing peer-reviewed studies on cell phone safety. The team found enough evidence to categorize personal exposure as "possibly carcinogenic to humans."
What that means is they found some evidence of increase in glioma and acoustic neuroma brain cancer for mobile phone users...
"The biggest problem we have is that we know most environmental factors take several decades of exposure before we really see the consequences," said Dr. Keith Black, chairman of neurology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. 
The European Environmental Agency has pushed for more studies, saying cell phones could be as big a public health risk as smoking, asbestos and leaded gasoline. The head of a prominent cancer-research institute at the University of Pittsburgh sent a memo to all employees urging them to limit cell phone use because of a possible risk of cancer.  
Results from the largest international study on cell phones and cancer was released in 2010. It showed participants in the study who used a cell phone for 10 years or more had doubled the rate of brain glioma, a type of tumor. To date, there have been no long-term studies on the effects of cell phone usage among children.   
BUT THE RISK TO CHILDREN IS MANY TIMES GREATER THAN TO ADULTS, AS IS THE RISK TO UNBORN FETUSES.


The BioInitiative Working Group says evidence for health risk from wireless tech is growing stronger and warrants immediate action. The Group released a mid-year update covering new science studies from 2012 to 2014.

New studies intensify medical concerns about malignant brain tumors from cell phone use. “There is a consistent pattern of increased risk for glioma (a malignant brain tumor) and acoustic neuroma with use of mobile and cordless phones,” says Lennart Hardell, MD, PhD at Orebro University, Sweden, according to studies released in 2012 and 2013. “Epidemiological evidence shows that radiofrequency should be classified as a known human carcinogen. The existing FCC/IEEE and ICNIRP public safety limits are not adequate to protect public health.”  
The BioInitiative reports nervous system effects in 68% of studies on radiofrequency radiation (144 of 211 studies) in 2014. This has increased from 63% in 2012 (93 of 150 studies) in 2012. Studies of extremely-low frequency radiation are reported to cause nervous system effects in 90% of the 105 studies available in 2014. Genetic effects (damage to DNA) from radiofrequency radiation is reported in 65% (74 of 114 studies); and 83% (49 of 59 studies) of extremely-low frequency studies. 

Mobile wireless devices like phones and tablets are big sources of unnecessary biological stress to the mind and body that can chip away at resilience over time.

The Report warns against wireless in schools. Schools should provide internet access without Wi-FI.
“It is essentially an unregulated experiment on childrens’ health and learningMicrowave from wireless tech disrupts thinking – what could be worse for learning? Technology can be used more safely with wired devices that do not produce these biologically-disruptive levels of microwave radiation,” said Cindy Sage, Co-Editor of the BioInitiative Report.
Federal programs like ConnectED and E-Rate are calling for wireless classrooms while ignoring the health evidence. Hyperactivity, concentration problems, anxiety, irritability, disorientation, distracted behavior, sleep disorders, and headaches are reported in clinical studies.

The FCC review of health impacts from wireless technologies is still underway, but has not affected the federal push for wireless classrooms. 

[NOTE: THE FCC, LIKE ALL "GOOD" GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, IS CONTROLLED BY WALL STREET MONEY AND THE POLITICAL CLOUT OF THE VERY WEALTHY, SO PERHAPS THAT EXPLAINS THEM DRAGGING THEIR FEET. ]
Researchers Report Alarming Rise in Brain Cancer in Scandinavian Countries,The Investor Relations Group, 11/2/2011 Environmental Health Trust Reports Continued and Unexplained Increases in Brain Cancer Incidence in Nations With Longer-Term Cell Phone Use
 New cases of brain tumors have continued to rise throughout the past three decades in some Scandinavian countries with longer-term and heavier cell phone use, according to analyses conducted by Environmental Health Trust scientists.  The analyses are based on data provided by the national cancer registries of Finland and Norway to the International Agency for Research on Cancer.  Death rates have dropped, reflecting improvements in treatment and early detection, but incidence has increased over the past decade for both men and women.  In Norway, brain tumor incidence rose in men and women about 1.7 and 2.8 percent each year for the past decade, with women who use cell phones more having higher rates than men.  Similar but smaller increases were evident in Norway.

“The need for careful and complete surveillance of populations for possible changes in brain tumor incidence is clear, as is the need to expand research and training in this area,” added Ronald B. Herberman, MD, oncologist and chairman of EHT’s Board.  “Based on the laboratory and epidemiological evidence to date, the grounds for taking precautionary actions to reduce direct exposure to the brain and body from cell phone radiation are stronger than ever.”

Earlier analyses from Australia by renowned neurosurgeon Vini Kharuna also found unexplained increases in malignant gliomas—a tumor linked to long-term cellphone use in several studies.

Environmental Health Trust shows the charts on these studies on www.saferphonezone.com.
Dr. Devra Lee Davis’s three popular books, When Smoke Ran Like Water, a National Book Award Finalist, The Secret History of the War on Cancer, and Disconnect--The Truth about Cell Phone Radiation, What Industry Has Done to Hide It and How to Protect Your Family, as well as recent documentary films, xan also be found on the foundation’s website, which offers clear, science-based information to prevent environmentally based disease and promote health, for the general public, children, and health professionals.

IS YOUR CELL PHONE KILLING YOU?, A DOCUMENTARY FILM FROM NEW ZEALAND
“Is Your Cell Phone Killing You?” is a New Zealand documentary investigating our radiation exposure in relation to cell phones, cell masts, power lines, children, WiFi in school, vested interests and more. It features compelling interviews with international and New Zealand scientists, experts and concerned citizens.  It critically examines one of the most important scientific debates of the 21st century. 

UNDERESTIMATED EXPOSURE LEVELS, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN!

The higher risk to children is clear:  Children absorb twice the cellphone radiation to the heads, up to triple in the their brain’s hippocampus and hypothalamus, greater absorption in their eyes, and as much as 10-times more in their bone marrow when compared to adults.

This paper describes how cellphones are certified to meet the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) exposure limit for the maximum amount of microwave cellphone radiation that will be absorbed in the head or other parts of the body of a cellphone user.  The only trouble is that the industry-designed certification process so under-estimates the actual absorption of cellphone radiation that all cellphone users who keep their cellphone in their pockets absorb cellphone radiation above the FCC exposure limit.  Further, even if not kept in pockets, when held next to the head, 97% of the population will exceed the certified level of absorbed radiation, and even more so for children who will absorb more than two times the certified cellphone radiation.
That’s the bad news. The good news is that this paper describes an alternative FCC approved process already used extensively within the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).  The alternative process uses MRI-scans of a set of real human beings to determine the amount of radiation absorbed in every tissue.  It is called, the “Virtual Family” and includes a 5-year old girl, a 6-year old boy, an 8-year old girl, an 11-year old girl, a 14-year old boy, a 26-year old female, a 35-year old male, an obese male adult and 3 pregnant women at 3rd, 7th and 9th months of gestation, allowing for appropriate cellphone certifications for the most vulnerable cellphone users.

HOW TO STOP THE OVER-EXPOSURE?
The radio frequency radiation being transmitted from your wireless router or modem is extremely toxic and detrimental to your health. Notice how high the measurements are on the RF meter! Most of us are living and working in this type of RF radiation exposure every single day and night. The fix, or remediation is simple. Plug your modem or router into your computer using an Ethernet connection (hardwire), and "disable" the wireless function on your modem or router. The fix is simple! Ethernet cord and disable the wireless function.

Compelling scientific research is linking electro-magnetic radiation to a host of serious health problems – ranging from depression, miscarriage to Alzheimer’s and cancer.
In May 2011, the World Health Organisation announced that cell phone radiation could possibly cause cancer. A review of the latest scientific studies prompted them to revise their previous stance that cell phones posed no long term health risk.
An increasing number of government health ministries around the world recommend that children’s exposure to cell phone radiation should be drastically reduced.
 



 Wireless radiation and electromagnetic pollution are everywhere now, so it is important to be aware of it so that you can lessen the effects. The younger the child, the more at risk they are, so mothers should keep cell phones and other sources of radiation away from their children.
