A report issued by the International Electromagnetic Field Collaborative and endorsed by 43 scientists from 13 countries has reviewed the evidence linking cell phone use to brain tumors, and refuting the methodology of a forthcoming industry-funded study expected to give the phones a clean bill of health.

“I fear we will see a tsunami of brain tumors, although it is too early to see that now since the tumors have a 30-year latency,” study author Lloyd Morgan said. “I pray I’m wrong, but brace yourself.”

Among the research cited in the study was a recent study by a Swedish team of scientists that found a 420 percent higher risk of brain cancer among people who had started using cellular or cordless phones as teenagers. Older analog phones, which are now mostly off the market, had been found to increase cancer risk by 700 percent.

Because children are especially vulnerable to radiation, the report recommends that parents not allow their children under the age of 18 to use mobile phones except in emergencies, or to sleep with cellular phones under their pillows. It recommends using corded land lines whenever possible, and using cellular phones mostly as answering machines, turning them on only to check messages and return calls. Use of cell phones inside buildings or in cars increases cancer risk, as it increases the radiation a phone must emit to function. Use of text messages and non-wireless headsets can reduce cancer risk. The report also advises against carrying cell phones against the body, even in pockets.

“Some countries are already banning cell phones over health concerns, with France saying children in elementary schools can only use them for texting,” Morgan said.

The report also sets out 11 flaws in the forthcoming Interphone study, a study on cell phones and health being prepared by the wireless industry in 13 different countries. These flaws include the exclusion of non-cellular cordless phones (which also emit radiation), children and young adults (the most vulnerable demographics) from the study, the exclusion of certain types of tumors, and the exclusion of participants who died or were too sick to answer questions.

news just in, JFK just got shot!


LOL:D

Yeah ,

Some guy popped off 3 rounds in under 8 secs with a bolt action rifle. ANd he was a communist and all that...

Its called sarcasm..

As in .. Not to be taken literally

Jees I despare sometimes...:confused:

I don`t think its a funny subject, my sister just after getting married and moving into her home had a brain tumor and was a heavy cell phone user , many are at her age

I'm sorry Deca,

But I dont think DJ hooker was taking the subject lightly (or me).

Its just most people knew this allready and I think it was meant as a "tell us something we dont know " aimed at anyone who hasn't been able to consciously correlate the link in increased mobile use and increased cancer.

That's all ..

So no offence meant ... You get me ?

[icarus]

mobile phone risk was one of the things that got me thinking we were being lied to. i get steaming migraine when i used the things, the government were teling me they were safe

hello, something doesn't add up

start of the rabbit hole

good to see the controlled media and mainsream science catching up with us "conspiracy nuts" though. so many things seem to be known to us "conspiracy nuts" ahead of time, but not to them

they have a new convenient "habit and behavior" to blame for rises in cancer

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8193639.stm
Alcohol is largely to blame for an "alarming" rise in the rate of oral cancers among men and women in their forties, say experts.

Numbers of cancers of the lip, mouth, tongue and throat in this age group have risen by 26% in the past decade.

Alcohol consumption has doubled since the 1950s and is the most likely culprit alongside smoking, says Cancer Research UK.

Each year in the UK around 1,800 people die from the disease.

There are 5,000 newly diagnosed cases per year.

Other risk factors that may be involved include a diet low in fruit and vegetables, and the sexually transmitted human papillomavirus (HPV), which also causes cervical cancer.

Figures produced by Cancer Research UK show that since the mid-1990s, rates of oral cancers have gone up by 28% for men in their forties and 24% for women.

The charity's health information manager Hazel Nunn said: "These latest figures are really alarming.

"Around three-quarters of oral cancers are thought to be caused by smoking and drinking alcohol.

"Tobacco is, by far, the main risk factor for oral cancer, so it's important that we keep encouraging people to give up and think about new ways to stop people taking it up in the first place.

The trend we are now seeing is likely to be linked to Britain's continually rising drinking levels

"But for people in their 40s, it seems that other factors are also contributing to this jump in oral cancer rates.

"Alcohol consumption has doubled since the 1950s and the trend we are now seeing is likely to be linked to Britain's continually rising drinking levels."

Oral cancer can be treated successfully if diagnosed early enough.

The most common signs of the disease are ulcers, sores, or red or white patches in the mouth that last longer than three weeks, together with unexplained pain in the mouth or ear.

Alcohol Concern chief executive Don Shenker said: "Many people are not aware of the connection between alcohol and cancer, yet as this research shows, it can be a major contributor or cause of the disease.

"While alcoholic liver disease remains the number one killer linked to alcohol, more and more people are suffering from oral cancers - and record drinking levels have undeniably played a part."

He said it was time to introduce tobacco-style health warnings on alcohol.

"It's a consumer issue - people have a right to know the full range of health risks associated with drinking alcohol above recommended guidelines.

"This research will hopefully help people realise the full extent of the damage that alcohol can do, then they're better placed to make informed decisions about how much they drink."

Professor Ian Gilmore, president of the Royal College of Physicians and chair of the Alcohol Health Alliance, said: "These latest figures demonstrate once again that people are being struck down at ever younger ages with alcohol-related illnesses that they might never have previously associated with heavy drinking.

"There is an urgent need to rethink how we communicate the risks of misuse. The first step is to challenge the widespread notion that the only chronic health damage is suffered by a minority of older drinkers."

Professor Alan Maryon-Davis, president of the UK Faculty of Public Health, said: "The really lethal cocktail is drinking strong spirits and smoking - a carcinogenic double whammy for the delicate lining of the mouth and throat. My advice is if you drink, don't smoke - and if you must smoke, avoid spirits."

Department of Health: New NHS Campaign Reveals Unseen Alcohol Damage

Jan 28, 2010 12:09 CET

A new campaign backed by major health charities will warn drinkers of the unseen health damage caused by regularly drinking more than the NHS advises.

The £6 million Government funded campaign shows the damage that is being done to drinkers’ organs while they are drinking in a pub or at home.

This is being launched by Public Health Minister, Gillian Merron today and is part of the cross-Government strategy to tackle the harms that alcohol causes.

The Department of Health has developed the campaign in association with Cancer Research UK, the British Heart Foundation and the Stroke Association to create the series of stark TV, press and outdoor adverts showing the harm that regularly drinking more than two drinks a day can cause.

A new YouGov poll launched to coincide with the campaign shows that more than half (55%) of English drinkers misguidedly believe that alcohol only damages your health if you regularly get drunk or binge drink.

The survey of over 2,000 adults also found that 83% of those who regularly drink more than the NHS recommended limits of 2-3 units a day for women (about two small glasses of wine) and 3-4 units a day for men (about two pints of lager) don’t think their drinking is putting their long-term health at risk.

With 10 million adults in England estimated to be drinking above the recommended limits, this is equivalent to around 8.3 million people potentially unaware of the damage their drinking could be causing.

Although 86% of drinkers surveyed knew that drinking alcohol is related to liver disease, far fewer realised it is also linked with breast cancer (7%), throat cancer (25%), mouth cancer (28%), stroke (37%) and heart disease (56%), along with other serious conditions.

I think mobile phones are a good symbol of the changes in our society over the last decade or so.

Twelve years ago I got my first one. It was huge, it was expensive and it was stolen within a week. But, it only did one thing. It was a phone right, that I could use to phone people, but it worked wirelessly so I could be mobile and phone! Awesome. The first time it rang outside, I didn't know what it was and was looking around thinking, "Jeez, someone has a loud ass phone."

My current phone can use its camera as a barcode scanner. Wtf do I need a barcode scanner for? I mean, if I was an MKultra handler and tattoo barcoded my sex slaves then yeah, ok. It does so many things that almost 2 years after getting it, I still find random applications on it.

I'm due an upgrade this month. All of the phones I get get either have a rediculously small qwerty keyboard or a touchscreen. They all do a million things a million ways in millions of colours and it's all so cutting edge and plastic. All I want, is a phone that I can text/call on. That's it.

That's how I see our society now. It's shiny and multicoloured and there's a million things happening, but 99% of it is pointless shit and people go along with it just so they can have a shinier, more colourful peice of pointless shit than you have.

On the upside, if I unlock and ebay my next handset it'll pay for most of my contract :D

[icarus]

mobiles are useful, essential even

just don't hold the fucking thing to your head for too long

and they have cameras, which come in handy when you see something that really needs to be posted on youtube asap ;)

use their technology against them

As in .. Not to be taken literally



That's more or less the way I feel about stories I read on Infowars.

[oneup]

I've always been skeptic about this one. I can't say I'm a heavy cell phone user, but I carry 2 phones and never have any of the symptoms supposedly linked to it.
