To All
In the interest of all  humans, please diseminate the following health hazard 
and allow each individual the opportunity to  research and choose the 
decisions they wish to make. Since younger brains/bodies are more sensitive, that may 
be a consideration

Thank you

GRAVE Cell Phone Dangers Revealed...


Article by Will Thomas


Though intended for renovations, Chris Anderson would like all visitors to 
deposit their cellular phones in the cement mixer by his front door. This sounds 
excessive - until you step into Anderson's orchard, where the pegged needle 
of a shrieking electromagnetic radiation (EMR) meter placed beside a connected 
cellphone still shows significant exposure 100 feet away.


Much to the chagrin of this certified EMR-mitigation specialist, every day 
some 300 million cell phone users are "reaching out and touching someone you 
love. Yourself, and anyone else within range of the microwaves emitted by your 
cell phone."


Mesmerized by magical gadgets, we have yet to count the costs of miniature 
radio transmitters that are transforming Marconi's invention into new 
possibilities for portable personal pollution. As entire nations reach for pocket 
communicators, the explosively emergent $40 billion a year cell phone industry is 
poised to deliver a "Wireless Revolution" that over the next five years is 
expected to double the one-billion people connected by telephone lines over the 
past century.


Silicon sensors are already calling to each other. Soon, countless 
communicating microchips embedded in everything from bumpers to brooms will be sending 
streams of encoded electrical energy through glass, steel, concrete, bone and 
flesh. Exquisitely sensitive to subtle electromagnetic harmonies, human brains 
and bodies as intricate as galaxies depend on tiny electrical impulses to 
conduct complex life-processes - including the ability to read, recall and respond 
to these words. Acting as antennas, our anatomies just as easily tune into 
spurious signals from radio and microwave transmissions. Blake Levitt, author of 
Electromagnetic Fields, says that when it comes to cellphones, "a worse 
frequency could not have been chosen for the human anatomy."


As cell phones conquer consumer minds and markets, researcher Carolanne 
Patton notes that "the brain reaches peak absorption in the UHF bands, right where 
cellular telecommunications operate." British military scientists have 
discovered that cellphone transmissions disrupt the brain sites for memory and 
learning, causing forgetfulness and sudden confusion.


Other studies show that electromagnetic signals from cellular phones reduce 
the ability to concentrate, calculate and coordinate complicated activities 
such as driving a car. Startled by $4 billion a year in extra claims among 
cellphone-wielding drivers, North American insurers did a double-take that found 
simply juggling `cell phones is not causing a 600% increase in accidents over 
other drivers busy shaving, applying makeup, tuning radios, taming pets, making 
out, pouring coffee, retrieving dropped cigarettes, talking and gesturing to 
passengers, or actually steering the vehicle.


Instead of just another dangerous distraction, tests conducted by the U.S. 
Department of Energy found that using a cell phone severely impairs memory and 
reaction times. "Hands-free" mobile speaker-phones cause even more crashes 
because they typically emit 10-times more brainwave interference than handheld 
units.


For all drivers dialing out on their cell phones, University of Toronto 
investigators report that the heightened probability of cracking up your car 
persists for up to 15-minutes after completing a call. That's comparable to the risk 
of crashing while driving dead drunk exclaims Dr. Chris Runball, chairman of 
the B.C. Medical Association's emergency medical services committee. Reeling 
from "dial-a-collision" costs, the government of British Columbia may join 
England, Spain, Israel, Switzerland and Brazil in restricting or banning the use 
of cell phones by drivers.


In New Zealand, cellphone towers are prohibited on school property because of 
possible health effects. But Health Canada regulations ignore the hidden 
hazards of cell-wrenching cellphones, which send pulsed signals through the skull 
in a process one expert likens to "jackhammers on the brain." "Safety Code 6" 
looks only at microwaves burning skin. "Basically, Health Canada claims if it 
can't cook you, it can't hurt you," says Walter McGinnis. "It's like saying 
cigarettes aren't dangerous unless they burn you."


One of a handful of licensed electricians who understand electromagnetic 
fields well enough to eliminate them from household wiring, McGinnis has been 
testing EMFs and collaborating with fellow testers and researchers for nearly a 
decade. In Victoria, where he has helped residents defeat six cellphone towers, 
there was dancing in the streets after Microcell Connexions withdrew its 
application to erect a microwave transmission tower against the Wishart Elementary 
School fence in the spring of 1998. Microcell spokesman Colin McCrae points 
out that emissions from the company's towers carry about the same energy as a 
50-watt lightbulb - well within federal guidelines.


This is hardly reassuring, retorts the former president of the Wisehart 
parents advisory council. Tania Berenuik observes that Health Canada "also told us 
thalidomide, asbestos and the blood supply were safe." Carrying similar risks 
of long-term lethality, and strangely just as legal, cellphone addiction 
mirrors the prestigious early allure of smoking - as well as an immensely 
profitable industry's steadfast denial of risk and responsibility. As poisonous as 
cigarette smoke and even harder to corral, the cellphone's "second-hand" microwave 
and to bystanders - particularly children riding in cars that transmit 
amplified cellphone signals through their steel structure. Reporting the conclusions 
of a 12-person British study team, scientist Sir William Stewart told 
London's Financial Times that "children may be more vulnerable because of their 
developing nervous system, the greater absorption of energy in the tissues of the 
head and a longer lifetime of exposure."


Roger Coghill became a long-standing advocate for health warnings to be 
affixed to cell phones after this biologist found that cellphone transmissions 
damage the ability of white blood cells to ward off infectious disease by 
disrupting the immune system's electromagnetic communications. Dr. Neil Cherry has 
measured accelerated aging, increased cell death and cancers caused by radio 
frequency microwaves from cellphones and their relay towers. With the brain's 
electro-chemical communications repeatedly zapped by lightning-like cellphone 
pulses, this Ph.D. biophysicist warns that headaches, fatigue, lethargy, nausea, 
dizziness, depression, arteriosclerosis and even Alzheimer's can result from 
frequent or prolonged calls on cell phones.


"There is also a higher incidence of cardiac problems," Cherry comments, "in 
terms of the timing function in hearts. You get more heart attacks and more 
heart disease - it has now been shown in many studies." The biophysicist from 
Lincoln University in Christ Church, New Zealand has also found that cell phones 
can murderously modify moods. In brains and bodies seriously derailed by tiny 
imbalances in trace minerals and hormones, depression, suicide, anger, rage 
and violence can result when calcium and serotonin levels are disrupted by 
cellphone transmissions.


In 1995, Cell phone sales in North America exceeded the birth rate.

Hired by the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association to condone 
cellphones, public health scientist George Carlo found that rare tumors on the 
outside of the brain are more than doubled among cell phone callers - 
particularly on the right side of the head where `phones are usually held. Carlo told 
ABC's "20/20" that cell phone causes genetic damage that leads to cancer. Warning 
of "the potential for a global health disaster," ABC recommended "prudent 
avoidance" of cellphones after finding that every cellphone they lab-tested 
exceeded the Federal Communication Commission's standards for EMF absorption rates. 
EMF researcher Dave Ashton cautioned 20/20 viewers that because cellphones 
constantly search for the nearest repeating tower, "long-term damage comes from 
cell phones in the stand-by mode." Cell phone "shields" and headsets "cannot 
adequately address these problems," Ashton added.


Dr. Carlo later told London's Express newspaper that cellphones cause genetic 
damage following a dose-response curve. That is, the more a person uses a 
cell phone, the more cellular destruction and health risks they incur. Cell 
phone-confused cells can go crazy, Carlo cautioned. Experiments on captive animals 
show that this cumulative DNA damage is passed on to succeeding generations.


Addicted as we are to a culture of convenience, we forget how inconvenient it 
is to contract cancer. An Adelaide Hospital study confirmed Carlo's conclu
sions after finding B-cell lymphomas doubled in mice within 18 months of one-hour 
daily exposure to power densities experienced by a cellphone user. B-cell 
lymphomas are implicated in 85% of all cancers.


READY OR NOT

As magazine-size "cellular" relay antennas hidden in church steeples and 
rooflines keep popping up just about everywhere, more and more communities are 
declaring their airspace a "No Fry Zone". But in Canada, where cell phone towers 
come under federal jurisdiction, municipalities are only "advisers' to a 
process in which no permits are required to erect transmitter towers deemed 
necessary for "national security." Cellphones do save a lot of lives. FCC Chairman 
William Kennard reports that every day more than 98,000 people make 911 calls 
from wireless cell phones.


Many more lives are involuntarily imperiled by non-emergency calls. Pat Irwin 
was working in a Colwood health food store when she noticed a truck unloading 
metal framework. The next morning, a new cellphone tower was ready to add its 
emissions to another BC Tel tower already operating down the street. There 
had been no announcement, no public hearings - just a quiet notification to the 
municipality that a tower was going up, literally overnight.


The intruder radiated for a month when Irwin felt her immunity dropping. She 
wondered if other changes in her energy and menstrual cycle were "not from the 
moon or something that I ate."


Irwin also seemed more irritable after her central nervous switchboard began 
receiving round-the-clock cellphone calls. With cellular relay towers in 
Kansas and Oklahoma being shut down because they interfered with passing aircraft, 
Irwin sensed how the same transmissions plucked her own electrical circuitry, 
inflicting a "chronic edginess" that "twangs human nerves." Sleep disorders, 
she learned, are common among people exposed to high levels of electromagnetic 
pollution.


After several other women in the same business centre reported similar 
symptoms, Irwin quit her job. "I saw it as something that was there to stay and I'd 
be daily exposed to it over a long period of time," she told Alive. "All this 
stuff is what we're playing with on a daily basis, and we don't know the 
long-term health effects."


Implying recognized hazard, cell phone companies such as B.C.'s FIDO insist 
that the new digital phones operating at 1/50 the power of older analog models 
are safer. But there is nothing "safe" about the new 1.9 gigahertz 
broadcasting frequency. Much like a boxer taking repeated blows to the head, rapidly 
pulsing cellphones signal permanent brain damage. A study by Dr. Peter Franch 
found unequivocally that "cells are permanently damaged by cellular phone 
frequencies." This cellular damage, Franch noted, is maximized at low dosage - and 
"inherited unchanged, from generation to generation."


Attempting to explain a 25% increase in asthma and a 5% increase in 
asthma-related death rates throughout rapidly "mobilizing" metropolitan Sydney, Franch 
found that the production of histamine, which triggers bronchial spasms, is 
nearly doubled after exposure to mobile phone transmissions. Cellphones also 
reduce the effectiveness of anti-asthmatic drugs, and retard recovery from 
illness.


Katharina Gustavss, a certified Building Biology consultant with 25 years 
experience, explains that CDMA's 217 Hz spikes are very close to the frequencies 
of human cell membranes. Gustavss accompanied a Microcell technician to the 
Colwood microwave relay tower Irwin and others had complained about. When he 
waved a spectrum analyzer, Gustavss checked the display and saw "pretty scary" 
energy spikes. "What's that?" she asked the tech. "I've never seen that before," 
he told her. It turned out that this cellphone tower tester only set his 
meter to an averaging mode. Switching to "real time" froze the readings at "scary" 
maximum output levels.


How dangerous are cell phones? "The risk is extremely high," declares Dr. 
Cherry. "There are 66 epidemiological studies showing that electromagnetic 
radiation across the spectrum increase brain tumors in human populations. Two of 
those studies are for particular brain tumors from cell phones."


Cherry says that because cancer takes decades to develop, it will be another 
10 or 20 years before "mobiles" manifest a big bonanza in brain tumors. But he 
adds, we're already seeing "acute effects that are noticed within minutes of 
using a cell phone."


After two minutes' conversation, a cell phone's digitized impulses disable 
the safety barrier that isolates the brain from destructive proteins and poisons 
in the blood. Professor Leif Salford, the neurologist who carried out the 
research for this finding, informed the Daily Mail: "It seems that molecules such 
as proteins and toxins can pass out of the blood, while the phone is switched 
on, and enter the brain. We need to bear in mind diseases such as MS and 
Alzheimer's which are linked to proteins being found in the brain."


DANCING WITH THE TELECOMONSTER

If you must pack a cell phone, treat it like a loaded pistol. Keep it turned 
off. Don't carry it near ovaries, testicles, or the heart. For partial 
protection, buy an antenna shield. Limit calls to one-minute, six to 10 minutes a 
month. Never fire off a cellphone with children anywhere in sight.


A better bet is to facilitate the growth of organic telephone networks with 
lots of fibre. Instead of more microwave towers, "We should be wiring up our 
cities with fibre-optic cables to provide Internet, fax, telephone, radio and 
television at very high quality," Cherry urges, "rather than saturating our 
cities with the microwave, radiowave and low frequency signals all the time."


When it comes to cells, consciousness and cell phones, every call is collect. 
How can convenience count more than cancer? What is gained by being in 
constant contact with disembodied voices, while being "out of touch" with the 
friends and neighbours around us? Are we comfortable having our location traced by 
monitoring authorities?


Unless we start voting with our wallets, consumer complacency could prove as 
species-limiting as corporate cynicism. "Microwave frequencies are the same as 
those used in radar and your microwave oven," says Florida cellphone tower 
opponent Joe Chwick. "You wouldn't think of sticking your head in the oven, but 
there is no hesitation to putting the cell phone to your ear."


Having somehow survived three-million years of evolution without them, many 
contemporary hominids claim they cannot live without them. But can exquisitely 
sensitive electromagnetic beings live with cell phones - and the cell phone 
towers their signals ride in on? Like polyethylene food and water containers, 
plastic cookers and coffeemakers, microwave ovens and petroleum-powered 
brilliantly beguiling inventions we have to let go. Would hanging up on such an 
intrusive and hazardous addiction be so terrible? 


On Jan. 1, 2001 I cancelled my cellphone service... GOOD REASON to get your 
cell phone protection chip here now...
