I really am not a science whizz, but the attached excellent paper by Dr. Magda Havas is easy enough for even the layman to understand, with pictures to make it more fun to learn about cell phones and cancer!!! (LOL) While you're in there, click on the You Tube link to hear rock star caliber Senate hearing testimony from Dr. Devra Davis and Dr. Siegal Sadetzky. On a serious note, I did not know that Beastie Boys singer Adam Yauch or NBA basketball star Lebron James BOTH have Parotid Gland tumors (tumor of the salivary gland), a once rare tumor and cancer, now much more common and highly associated with cell phone use.

The link is about kindergartners all coming down with leukemia (as well as the teachers) and gee, wouldn't ya know...multiple antennas and transmitters loom practically on top of the school grounds.

We analyzed the reports in which human brain electrical activity was compared between the presence and absence of radio-frequency and low-frequency electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from mobile phones, or between pre- and post-exposure to the EMFs. Of 55 reports, 37 claimed and 18 denied an EMF-induced effect on either the baseline electro encephalogram (EEG), or on cognitive processing of visual or auditory stimuli as reflected in changes in event-related potentials. The positive reports did not adequately consider the family-wise error rate, the presence of spike artifacts in the EEG, or the confounding role of the two different EMFs. The negative reports contained neither positive controls nor power analyses. Almost all reports were based on the incorrect assumption that the brain was in equilibrium with its surroundings. Overall, the doubt regarding the existence of reproducible mobile-phone EMFs on brain activity created by the reports appeared to legitimate the knowledge claims of the mobile-phone industry. However, it funded, partly or wholly, at least 87% of the reports. From an analysis of their cognitive framework, the common use of disclaimers, the absence of information concerning conflicts of interest, and the industry's donations to the principal EMF journal, we inferred that the doubt was manufactured by the industry. The crucial scientific question of the pathophysiology of mobile-phone EMFs as reflected in measurements of brain electrical activity remains unanswered, and essentially unaddressed.

Mobile Phone Radiation Health Risk Controversy

http://www.emfacts.com/weblog/?p=1249

Look at them: "BBC News reminded the public of Karl Popper, one of the great philosophers of science, who said science is about falsification. You can prove theories and hypothesis are incorrect, but you can never prove they are correct. So, theories are innocent until proven guilty. And with no hard evidence to suggest wireless technology does negatively affect our health and the health of our children, the technology can only be considered safe".

Hi Joel,

Clearly, by just examining the authors who challenged your team's findings, you hit a very raw nerve. Shakespeare said it best, "The lady doth protest too loudly." You and your coauthors should be proud. (attached)

I must say your and your colleagues' paper brought out the Interphone gang. Most, if not all of the authors on the first letter are authors of the German Interphone studies. Joachim Schüz is also an author on the German and Danish Interphone studies, and the Danish Cohort study of cellphone subscribers.

This latter study, totally funded by industry, found being a cellphone subscriber significantly protects the subscriber from all cancers, Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, other dementia, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis (>10 years), epilepsy (men), lung cancer (men), cancer of the larynx, buccal cavity/pharynx cancer (men), esophageal cancer (men), stomach cancer (men), kidney cancer (men), pancreatic cancer (men), and brain tumors (>10 years). This is not reported as protection but rather as not risk.

Give me a call and I can tell you more.

The second Letter is authored by two industry types. Again, "The lady doth protest too loudly." Interestingly, while the protest they are careful not to interfere with the Interphone researches they say nothing about industry's interference in the Interphone Protocol (both the published portion, and the more important unpublished portion) which tells the researcher the procedures they must follow.

Stang, the author of the second Letter is the lead author on the first eye cancer study that reported a significant, 4/2 fold risk of eye cancer but, working with Schüz's Interphone study data, Stang effectively denounced his previous study using Interphone Protocol procedures. They used the same controls used in the Schuz's German Interphone glioma & meningioma study. Besides have a set of results showing statistically significant protection, this second Stang study had such a low control participation rate (56%) that it was a set up for major selection bias problems. Doesn't this sound familiar?

What truly amazes me about the Stang letter is how they challenge cut-off points ("Myung et al arbitrarily used a cutoff of 7 points to distinguish between low bias and high bias studies.") when Stang et al.'s use of cut-offs in their second study was beyond arbitrary. In their second study where they found no risk of eye cancer, they used the controls of the German Interphone glioma study and the cutoff points chosen were from these same controls. In a email sent to Stang shortly after the publication of his second study I asked him, "The cut points you used are the same cut points used in the German Interphone study on the risk of brain tumors (glioma and meningioma) from cellphone use. This German study based its cut points on the cellphone use of controls, but was studying the risk of cases. Further, in the German Interphone study 61% glioma controls and 69% o meningioma controls had never used a cellphone. And in your study the number of controls who had never used a cellphone was a remarkably different 17% and 24% depending on the control group. Finally you were studying the risk of uveal melanoma from cellphone use. If uveal melanoma cases use cellphone substantially different than the controls from a very different study, then this would introduce unnecessary bias. Why not use cut points based on the use of uveal melanoma cases?" No adequate answer was received.

Lastly, and with respect, your comments about the COSMOS study you write, "We are looking forward to the results of the COSMOS (cohort study of mobile phone use and health), as this study may provide stronger evidence about the health effects of mobile phones." Not only are cohort studies inappropriate for rare diseases such as brain tumor, but the COSMOS study is having such major recruitment problems that Germany has already withdrawn from the study. In the UK only 5.1% have consented to be in the study, and for all countries (UK, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Holland) 18% have consented to be in the study. (See COSMOS study attachments; note particularly slide 28 from the Germans). Additionally the COSMOS study is another industry funded study. In my view, the purpose of the COSMOS study is that we should wait for 25 years to get the definitive answer. By that time, the definitive answer will be available by counting bodies.

Hi Iris Atzmon,

Maybe Mr J. Schüz and the Danish Cancer Society would like to comment?? No? ..ok, I thought not ;-).

Oh, I just heard the the director of the Danish Cancer Society (D.C.S), Mr. Arne Rolighed, is stepping down. The media says it's because his 10 year contract has ended (that's what Repacholi said aswell). Some years ago there were rumors that he had lost loads of the Societies money on the stockmarket, and shortly afterwards there came some strange initiatives from the D.C.S, like the first "no risk" Danish Cohort study, a campaign for recycling old cellphones to developing countries and a nationwide money-collection in support of D.C.S (they called it "support the battle against cancer", but we know it's all for their profit).

Abstract Introduction. The interaction of mobile phone radio-frequency electromagnetic radiation (RF-EMR) with the brain is a serious concern of our society. Objective. We evaluated the effect of RF-EMR from mobile phones on passive avoidance behaviour and hippocampal morphology in rats. Materials and methods. Healthy male albino Wistar rats were exposed to RF-EMR by giving 50 missed calls (within 1 hour) per day for 4 weeks, keeping a GSM (0.9 GHz/1.8 GHz) mobile phone in vibratory mode (no ring tone) in the cage. After the experimental period, passive avoidance behaviour and hippocampal morphology were studied. Results. Passive avoidance behaviour was significantly affected in mobile phone RF-EMR-exposed rats demonstrated as shorter entrance latency to the dark compartment when compared to the control rats. Marked morphological changes were also observed in the CA(3) region of the hippocampus of the mobile phone-exposed rats in comparison to the control rats. Conclusion. Mobile phone RF-EMR exposure significantly altered the passive avoidance behaviour and hippocampal morphology in rats.

Regarding Biological effects of Electromagnetic Radiation

I went through your report, and found it to be quite interesting.

In fact, myself and Prof. Girish Kumar of I.I.T Bombay, India, have also prepared a report on 'Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Radiation', and can be viewed at:
