Cell Phone Updates -Know Your Risks

Most times science is slow to catch up with those of use with a bent as a "futurist". It always seems as if I am way ahead of the pack and in this case I've been educating on cell phone and cell tower risk (also wifi, digital, etc.) for a solid decade and longer.

It's nice now, and a complement to common sense and science that we see these reports.

For The Record, from The Troy Record
Reasons for concern

Hang on to your land line phones. Herb Denenberg in an article for The Bulletin says: “The great cell phone cover-up may be coming to an end. A new report may finally wake the public up to the brain cancer risks of cell phones and force necessary preventive measures.

“A new report, endorsed by a prestigious group of international scientists, finds that there’s a risk of brain tumors from cell phone use, that industry studies underestimate this risk, and that children have much greater risk than adults. The report, therefore sends a message to four billion users worldwide and to the $4 billion cell phone industry that they may be facing the same kind of bad news that first burst on the scene for the tobacco industry.”

Mr. Denenberg was elected to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences, and co-authored major legislation.

He goes on to point out that the cancer threat has been recognized by some scientists for decades. Cell phones emit electromagnetic radiation — more specifically, radio frequency radiation which can damage the DNA and lead to cancers or other medical problems.

The study focused on cell phones but cordless phones, talkies, ham radio transmitters, and baby monitors also are sources of radiation.

The report entitled “Cell phones and Brain Tumors: 15 reasons for Concert; Science, Spin and the Truth behind enterphone,” can be read at www.radiationresearch.org and will be updated. The report lists eight simple steps to substantially reduce your or your children’s exposure to cell phone radiation.

If you are concerned about electromagnetic radiation coming from cell phones or cell towers there is also more information from info@emrpolicy.org.

State of Affairs

Glenn A. Warner, MD was a highly regarded physician in the Seattle area that was well known for his commitment to his patients, their health and healing. He was responsible for many people with cancer overcoming the disease. He was a forerunner in the effective use of nutrition and supplements to fight and cure cancer, combined with other sound medical practice.

The sad part of Dr. Warner's career was the abusive and unfounded attack on him and his practice by the Draconian Washington State Department of Health. Dr. Warner ended his highly respected career because of the abuses of this agency (Learn more).



Last evening Larry King interviewed Andrew Weil, MD and it was a good program. Weil stated many of the things I have stated about the disease management system that we have in the US, passed off as "health care".

Recently, in the Pacific NW, a group of doctors who seem to clearly have the same understanding have formed a group called "Mad as Hell Doctors". They are on a trip to D.C. to make their concerns known.

"The MAHD team doesn't want any reform that doesn't offer up comprehensive results and a single payer system to the American people. This is not a political campaign as much as it is a campaign for truth in this debate.
And the truth is that what is offered in the present bills and what the President says he wants are inefficient ways of solving the health care crisis. We resist any reform that seeks to protect the private for profit business of health insurance and denies EVERYONE access to quality health care through a publicly funded privately provided system.
It is all about being fiscally conservative.
No new money needs to go into the system. We must just redirect the money now from the premiums and deductibles that fatten investors stock options and fund campaigns of our elected leaders."

So far Obama and people in Congress have come up with nothing that brings about the(real)change that is needed. The current proposals are to continue the same system controlled by Big PhARMA and Big Insurance.

It is time that we say NO to corporate control of what once was a great country that was the top of the heap in health care delivery, now at an all time low - 37th - along with excessive cost and limited benefit because of greed and profit driven motives.

Just recall that the Harvard School of Public Health found that only 20% or what is delivered in the health industry is effective. The other 80% is totally unproven and ineffective.

Make sure you know what you are asking for because you just might get it.
