Italian Supreme Court Affirms Tumor Risk from Long-Term Use of a Cell Phone
Microwave News, 23 October 2012

ICEMS vs. ICNIRP; Hardell vs. Interphone

The Supreme Court of Italy has affirmed a ruling granting worker's compensation to a businessman who developed a tumor after using a cell phone for 12 years. This is the first time that a high court —in any country— has ruled in favor a link between mobile phone radiation and tumor development.

Innocente Marcolini, a financial manager at an industrial plant in Brescia in northern Italy, used cell and cordless phones for five-to-six hours a day for 12 years. Then one morning ten years ago, Marcolini, who was 50 years old at the time, sensed an unusual tingling in his chin while shaving. He was soon diagnosed as having a benign tumor on the trigeminal nerve, which controls facial muscles and sensations.

"Carcinogenic Technojunk" for Kids this Holiday Season

LeapFrog, LeapPad 2

Fourteen percent of Americans planned to give a LeapFrog LeapPad Explorer Learning Tablet ($100) as a present, according to a Consumer Reports poll in 2011 . As one FB friend says about children's "learning tablets" – “more carcinogenic technojunk masquerading as educational tools”. We should write to consumer groups and toy manufacturers to remind them of their responsibility in protecting the health of children and the human rights and well-being of workers who make these gadgets in sweatshops in China. If the article on “cool new toy tablets” incites people to buy these for their kids, then they do not care at all about their child’s health. 

Here is what “Consumer Reports” says about toy tablets:

Consumer Reports Talk About Toy Tablets, (source: BSCKids, 9 December 2011)

“Consumer Reports have tested the latest in toy tablets. “Toy tablets don’t have all the whistles and bells that standard tablets do, but their learning apps and kid-friendly content make them ideal for children” said Paul Reynolds, electronic editor, Consumer Report. The tablets were put to trial by the Consumer Report’s lab to see how good they functioned and by children of the appropriate ages to see how much the kids were attracted to them. Each tablet has a color touch-screen display, a few loaded games, and apps. The tablets can be linked to a PC for new downloads and software upgrades. The Vici Tab is rechargable. The other tablets use AA batteries.

Atorvastatin (Generic Lipitor) Side Effects and Complications

Not only is there a problem with contaminated atorvastatin (generic Lipitor) but also it has serious side effects and complications. 

Atorvastatin (Lipitor) Side Effects & Complications
People’s Pharmacy, 29 October 2012

It is not entirely clear why Lipitor became the most successful drug in the history of the pharmaceutical industry. Tens of millions of people have taken Lipitor to lower their bad LDL cholesterol. It is estimated that sales of this single drug brought in over $130 billion to Pfizer, its manufacturer. No other drug in history has ever come close to this mind boggling number.

Now that Lipitor has become available in its generic form as atorvastatin, it will no doubt continue to be taken by millions of patients, though the cost will clearly come down. Despite its popularity with physicians and its clear ability to bring cholesterol numbers down, there are some serious side effects to contend with. Many of these complications were not discovered until years after the drug was on the market.

Humanity's Challenge: The Winter Solstice of 2012

We are moving into the Year of the Snake,
where the Spleen energy field and the Heart
will move into prominence. These organ systems
cannot tolerate the assault of  artificial
electromagnetic fields.

With the roll-out of the Smart Meter Grid, “Americans are being unwittingly forced to participate in the rapid build out of a power grid based on faulty values of man-over-nature, man-over-time, and man-over-man beliefs. And, the primary targets of this aggression will be women and children, due to their heightened vulnerability to electromagnetic fields… 

“[Either] we are living the closing chapter in a history of de-evolutionary choices, or we have reached the crucial turning point where the light of dawning consciousness turns humanity back to its rightful relationship with the true source of connection, power and energy… History will record the energetic tsunami in 2012 in one of two ways. We will unleash the largest wave of destructive technology ever known to mankind, or we will withdraw our energies from the consumer-driven model...”

I personally fear that we are indeed headed to destruction through our own greed for newer and better-performing technology, our ignorance of the health and ethical implications, and our lack of compassion for the vulnerability of more sensitive individuals, particularly children.

Dr. Olle Johansson's Letter on Electrohypersensitivity (EHS)

Dr. Olle Johansson

Recently, André Fauteux, Editor of the Canadian magazine, "Maison du 21e siècle" asked Dr. Olle Johansson to send him the Swedish Government document confirming that electrosensitivity is a recognized functional impairment.  Here is Dr. Johansson's reply.  

"In essence," he writes, "no official bodies or governments are needed to recognize any functional impairment. The presence or lack of EHS studies are not a prerequisite for any functional impairments, on the contrary. Impairments are viewed from the point of the environment.

"No human being is in itself impaired, there are instead shortcomings in the environment that cause the impairment. Thus, it is the environment that should be “treated”!   

"One way is through the introduction of the proper biologically-based EMF human exposure guidelines. This environment-related impairment view means that even though one does not have a scientifically-based complete explanation for the impairment electrohypersensitivity, and in contrast to disagreements in the scientific society, the person with electrohypersensitivity shall always be met in a respectful way and with all necessary support with the single goal to eliminate the impairment."

Mandatory Vaccination Programs : Switzerland and Poland

A referendum opposing the revised Epidemics Act has recently been launched by a part of the Swiss population. If this law were approved, the Swiss authorities could decide through the new law whether a health situation is exceptional and certain groups of people needed to be vaccinated (professionals, children etc.). These persons will no longer have a choice.  The referendum deadline is 17 January 2013.

Vaccinations do not prevent a substantial percentage of diseases. There is collusion with the pharmaceutical industry which has a strong presence in Switzerland.   From a legal point of view, vaccinations represent bodily harm. They are filled with heavy metals and other poisons. They have never been studied independently and through double blind tests, using placebos. They have many side effects. They have never been proven effective as a protective mechanism against disease. They are a massive charge for the immune system of a young person and his unprotected brain.

There was a similar debate regarding mandatory vaccination – and even medicating people prophylactically –  going on recently in Poland. In April 2012, Eliza Walczak addressed the Polish Senate Committee of Diseases. As a Jewish Holocaust survivor, she compares the new mandatory vaccine measures in Poland to Nazi crimes. We have already heard similar statements from experts about exposing large, vulnerable populations against their will, particularly children, to the electromagnetic radiation emitted by wireless technology. This is a serious violation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Nuremberg Code (directives for human experimentation).

Following are extracts from Eliza Walczak’s address to the Polish Senate. (I’ve taken the liberty of paraphrasing and correcting some grammatical errors in the translation.) The Chairman of the Senate called her speech, “scandalous”. It was published on Jane Burgermeister’s site www.birdflu666.wordpress.com which is worth looking at.

Warning to Young Women: Keeping a Cell Phone in the Bra Could Increase the Risk for Breast Cancer

A number of young women keep their cell phones in their bra.  This is a very dangerous habit because the radiation a cell phone emits might increase the risk for breast cancer.  Watch the following 3-minute special report from KTVU.com. California, and read the article, whose author talked to Dr. Devra Davis, epidemiologist.  Dr. Davis has teamed with medical doctors from a breast imaging center and a cancer-testing laboratory who are preparing a case study report on four young women with no known family history or risks for breast cancer.  These women developed clusters of breast cancer in highly unusual areas after carrying cell phones in their bras for years.  

Breast cancer in young women is on the rise in Geneva and throughout Europe.  Could this be one of the causes?  We tend to disregard these warnings, believing we are invincible, and that this is nonsense, however, most cell phone manufacturers warn in accompanying operating manuals that the phone must be kept at least half an inch from the body.

Newsclip:  http://www.ktvu.com/videos/news/special-report-keeping-cell-phone-in-bra-may-lead/vhPF8/ - one young woman (age 21) diagnosed with breast cancer, had to have her breast removed.

Never Stick This In Your Bra! 

Bottom Line Publications.com, Healthy Women

When you don’t have a purse or pocket but still want to stay connected to the world, nestling your cell phone into your cleavage for safekeeping may seem like a great solution. In fact, so many women now do this that there’s even a new type of bra with a pocket to hold a phone.

Death After Quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaccine: Causal or Coincidental?

Researcher Lucija Tomljenovic

Research was recently carried out by two scientists at the University of British Columbia, Christopher Shaw and Lucija Tomljenovic to determine whether or not some serious autoimmune and neurological adverse reactions (ADRs) following HPV vaccination are causal or merely coincidental and to validate a biomarker-based immunehistochemical (IHC) protocol for assessing causality in case of vaccination-suspected serious adverse neurological outcomes. The study suggests that HPV vaccines containing HPV-16L1 antigens pose an inherent risk for triggering potentially fatal autoimmune vasculopathies.

This has implications for medical practice. Cerebral vasculitis is a serious disease which typically results in fatal outcomes when undiagnosed and left untreated. The fact that many of the symptoms reported to vaccine safety surveillance databases following HPV vaccination are indicative of cerebral vasculitis, but are unrecognized as such (i.e., intense persistent migraines, syncope, seizures, tremors and tingling, myalgia, locomotor abnormalities, psychotic symptoms and cognitive deficits), is a serious concern in light of the present findings. It thus appears that in some cases vaccination may be the triggering factor of fatal autoimmune/neurological events. Physicians should be aware of this association. 

The study was published in October 2012 in Pharmaceutical Regulatory Affairs and was posted on the site of Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) America. Following is an article posted on straight.com about the study. The full study is available here.

Read also Dr. Mercola's article on the HPV vaccine.  As of mid-2012, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) has received 119 reports of death following HPV vaccination, as well as:  894 reports of disability, 517 life-threatening adverse events, 9,889 emergency room visits and 2,781 hospitalizations.

Free Wi-Fi at Geneva's University Hospital

Wi-Fi in hospital patients’ rooms can be harmful. In December 2008, my companion was placed in a seven-bed room after removal of his lung (diagnosis of mesothelioma – cancer of the pleura). His post-operative condition deteriorated : difficulties breathing and incisions which would not heal. The patient in the bed next to his was working the whole day on a Wi-Fi –connected computer. 

In June 2008, Wi-Fi was installed at this hospital (HUG – Geneva’s university hospital) – 200 antennas deployed in all  care units of including the Maternity, Children’s Hospital, Palliative Care Service, and hospital for the elderly.

The article appearing in HUG’s magazine, « Pulsations » in June 2008 shows the level of ignorance of the Geneva medical profession concerning the risks of wireless technology. When I wrote to the Director-General of HUG in 2010, he replied, “Considering the absence of proof, demonstrated by actual scientific knowledge, that exposure to Wi-Fi antennas could cause health problems, but also proof of the total harmlessness of this technology, HUG does not foresee taking back its decision to offer this new benefit to its users, considering the advantages of having W-Fi at the hospital for patients’ comfort …”

Spike in "Aggressive" Brain Cancer in Denmark

The number of men diagnosed with glioblastoma, the most malignant type of brain cancer, has nearly doubled over the last ten years.  The Danish Cancer Society is saying that it has no idea what is causing this.  National cancer societies of course would say this, because cancer research, diagnosis and treatment bring in huge sums of money for the cancer industry.  These societies also receive funding from the telecoms industry.  For instance, members of the Board of Trustees of the American Cancer Society have included corporate executives from the telecoms, pharmaceutical, pesticide, media, and biotech industries.

Spike in “Aggressive” Brain Cancer in Denmark
Microwave News, 8 November 2012

The Danish Cancer Society is reporting that the number of men diagnosed with glioblastoma —the most malignant type of brain cancer— has nearly doubled over the last ten years. Hans Skovgaard Poulsen, the head of neuro-oncology at Copenhagen University Hospital, is calling it a "frightening development."

The society is not linking the increase to cell phones or to anything else. "We have no idea what caused it," Poulsen said in a statement issued by the Danish Cancer Society on November 2.

Young Electrosensitive Person Commits Suicide

We must do all we can to raise awareness of the condition of electrosensitivity (ES) which is little understood by the general population and health professionals. This includes sharing experiences of ES with journalists. Faye Dobson is writing an article on ES and would like to hear from persons in the UK who could/would help (faye@catersnews.com). Martyn Halle, who writes on health for national newspapers, has approached ES-UK after reading the news about Michael Nield’s death. He hopes to publish a story about ES in the Mail on 11 November (m.halle@blueyonder.co.uk). 

‘Zapping in head’ from mobiles led son to kill himself
by Jordan Day, Cambridge News, 6 November 2012

A university graduate committed suicide after a lengthy battle with a sensitivity to mobile phones, an inquest heard.

Oxford graduate Michael Nield suffered with electro sensitivity – the term used to describe someone who has an unhealthy sensitivity to a particular source of electricity.

In Michael’s case it was mobile phones and phone masts. He had to sleep with a microfibre tent over his bed to reduce the radiation.
