Cancer Linked to Cellphone Use, Italian Court Rules in Landmark Case - April 2017 Article

Cancer Linked to Cellphone Use, Italian Court Rules in Landmark Case
by Janice Williams, newsweek.com, 21 April 2017

For the first time ever, a judge in Italy has ruled that excessive cellphone use can result in brain cancer. Roberto Romeo, 57, worked for Telecom Italia, a telecommunications company, for 15 years and said constant use of his mobile phone for work-related purposes caused him to develop a tumor in his brain, Agence France-Presse reported.

Following the verdict, which was released to the public Thursday, an Italian court in Iverea awarded Romeo a state-funded pension of about $535 a month after a medical examiner determined Romeo’s brain cancer damaged 23 percent of his bodily function. The pension will be paid out to Romeo by national insurance company INAIL, which covers workplace accident claims.

On Smartphones and Children

On smartphones and children
by John Austin, jordantimes.com/opinion, 8 May 2018

It is time to reign in smartphone use among children.

As a teacher and headmaster, I do not suggest this lightly. I understand the educational benefits of technology when well used, and I recognise that many techno-enthusiasts, not to mention my own students and faculty, will dismiss such an argument as grumpy, impractical and anti-progress.

Nonetheless, the history of technological invention tells us that the unintended consequences of new technology often remain obscure to the first generation of users. DDT eradicated crop-destroying insects and mosquitos, saving many from hunger and malaria; it also damaged the ecosystem and endangered human health. The automobile provided speedy travel and unprecedented mobility, but also, according to NASA, became the world’s largest contributor to climate change, as well as a leading cause of accidental death worldwide.

So it is with the hidden costs of smartphone use among children and teens. There is mounting evidence that excessive mobile phone use among children and adolescents is unhealthy; psychologically, social-emotionally and perhaps even physically.

Diabetes and Wireless

Diabetes and Wireless
parentsforsafetechnology.org

Diabetes is being understood as an immune based illness. Since WiFi effects the immune system, recent research showing a link between diabetes and wireless radiation makes sense.  From 1995 to 2010, there was at least a 100% increase in the prevalence of diagnosed diabetes cases in 18 states.

We parents have heard many stories of diabetic friends who decreased the wireless in their homes resulting in steadier blood sugar readings. Recent research shows wifi damages the liver. We strongly support more research on this issue.

​Read the research below.

The authors of this Study (picture at right) said, “Indeed, RF radiation induced glucose metabolism disorders. … The disorders in glucose metabolic could be explained by alteration in function, structure, and/or secretion of insulin after RF exposure. … Furthermore, RF radiation could affect the glucose uptake by peripheral tissues.”

EMF Warning: Michigan State Senator Patrick Colbeck Reveals the Danger of Wireless Devices on the Senate Floor

EMF WARNING: Michigan state senator reveals the danger of wireless devices on the Senate floor
Posted by: Jonathan Landsman, naturalhealth365.com, 4 May 2018

(Naturalhealth365) With the overwhelming popularity of cell phones, laptops, smart meters and WiFi routers, it truly seems as if we are adrift in a “sea of microwaves” – to quote a phrase coined by renowned geneticist Dr. Mae-Wan Ho. The rollout of 5G technology, and the advent of the ‘Internet of Things’ – a wireless network capable of linking home appliances, cell phones and even vehicles – means that the situation will only get more intense – as time goes on.

But, at least one state senator is trying to “pump the brakes” – at least until the matter can be sufficiently studied. Last month, Michigan state senator Patrick Colbeck (R-Canton) took to the Senate floor to testify about the risks of wireless technology – and to implore his colleagues to vote against a pair of bills that would facilitate it.

Senator issues wireless WARNING: An increasing body of evidence suggests “significant health risks”

Far from being a technophobe, Senator Colbeck, a former aerospace engineer, describes himself as an “early adopter” of technological innovations. Yet, he feels the health risks of current wireless technology have become too blatant to ignore.

Large-Scale Study Proves that Cell Tower Radiation Causes Cancer

Large-scale study proves that cell tower radiation causes cancer… where is the apology from the media for years of LYING about it?
by Isabelle Z., naturalnews.com, 6 May 2018

(Natural News) The concept of cell tower radiation causing cancer used to be tinfoil hat territory – or at least that’s what those with vested interests in the technology wanted people to think. Now, however, the body of scientific evidence indicating that cell tower radiation can cause cancer is growing too big to ignore.

The world’s biggest animal study of cell tower radiation, which was carried out by the Ramazzini Institute in Italy, has revealed the dangers of exposure to environmental levels of cell tower radiation. In the study, researchers exposed 2,448 rats to 1.8 GHz GSM radiofrequency radiation in amounts that mimicked those that cell tower antennas give off for 19 hours a day. They found that the female rats had a higher chance of developing malignant brain tumors, while all rats had a higher chance of precancerous conditions and Schwann cell hyperplasia.

This study went the extra mile, allowing the rats to live until their natural death. Four fifths of human cancers occur after people have turned 60, so following the animals over an extended period enabled them to catch late-developing tumors.

EMFs And RFRs Finally Taken To Court, In Canada That Is

A Class Action was filed in Superior Court, Province of Quebec, District of Montreal, Canada, Case No. 500-06-000760-153 against 50 Respondents including the Attorneys General of Quebec and Canada, the City of Sainte-Anne-Des-Lacs, Hydro-Quebec, and approximately 40 corporations involved in the manufacture, production, servicing and transmission of Electromagnetic Frequencies (EMFs) and Radiofrequencies (RFRs), for their contributory roles in the transmissions, products and services that emit

Governments to Deploy 5G Technology, Ignoring the Impact on Human and Environmental Health

The Tribune de Genève published our opinion on 5G on 7 May 2018.

In an Order adopted on 4 May 2018, the Federal Communications Commission  (FCC) rules to streamline the wireless infrastructure siting review process to facilitate the deployment of next-generation wireless facilities. As part of its efforts, the agency consulted with a wide range of communities to determine the appropriate steps needed to enable the rapid and efficient deployment of next-generation wireless networks—or 5G—throughout the United States.  The FCC exempts small, unobtrusive cell towers used for 5G wireless networks from permitting under the National Environmental Policy Act for small wireless infrastructure projects and the National Historic Preservation Act.  (Ref: Greenwire, 3 May 2018 - article not available to non-subscribers.)

Meanwhile, in Switzerland, the government is attempting to "trick" the population into accepting 5G by using different measurement techniques for mobile phone antennas, making it seem as if the limit values fixed by the Ordinance on Protection Non-Ionizing Radiation (ORNI) will not be exceeded.  The Tribune de Genève published our opinion on 5G on 7 May 2018.

The population has a right to know, so we would ask that this be shared as widely as possible.

Mobile

"The recent vote of the Council of States refusing the increase in limit values for mobile telephony antennas in order to allow the deployment of 5G technology will not "put Switzerland back to a third world digital technology."  Why have three groups of doctors, including the Federation of Swiss Doctors (FMH) opposed this increase?  One of the recent studies on 5G shows that millimeter waves characterizing 5G would increase the temperature of the skin, alter the expression of genes, favor inflammation and cause eye damage.  Other studies mention the negative impact of electromagnetic waves on insects and bees, one of the factors which could explain their disappearance.

Emerging Possibility for a Meticulous, Impartial Review of the EMF Science at the World Health Organization

"As I wrote, there is an emerging possibility for a meticulous, impartial review of the EMF science at the WHO. It all will depend on how the experts will be selected. What criteria will be used. Who will be the persons deciding on the selection.

"Let us hope, this emerging possibility will not be wasted and what is being done now at the WHO and at the WHO EMF Project is not only a smoke screen…"

Emerging possibility for a meticulous, impartial review of the EMF science at the WHO
by Dariusz Leszczynski, betweenrockandhardplace.wordpress.com, 2 May 2018

Over the recent years, there were numerous complaints about the reliance of the WHO EMF Project solely on the opinions of the ICNIRP. In fact, the WHO EMF Project could be considered as “front” for the opinions of ICNIRP.

It seems the World Health Organization has taken a notice of the complaints and took some action.

WHO EMF Project is preparing a very important document – the Environmental Health Criteria for the RF-EMF (EHC RF-EMF). This document will evaluate all scientific evidence concerning biological and health effects of RF-EMF emitted by all types of the wireless communication devices, including cell phones, cell towers and wi-fi routers…

New Study Shows Honeybees Get Much Higher Exposure Under MilliMetre-Wave 5G Radiation

New study shows honeybees get much higher exposure under MilliMetre-Wave 5G radiation. Fig4 shows in the current 4G regions(below 6GHz) photon-density is less due to longer wavelengths,but the new smaller 5G millimetre waves build to much greater intensity.  (This is one of the studies listed by the Environmental Health Trust on 5G and health.)

Exposure of Insects to RadioFrequency Electromagnetic Fields from 2 to 120GHz

Published online in Nature, 2 March 2018

Insects are continually exposed to Radio-Frequency (RF) electromagnetic felds at diferent frequencies. The range of frequencies used for wireless telecommunication systems will increase in the near future from below 6GHz (2G, 3G, 4G, and WiFi) to frequencies up to 120GHz (5G). This paper is the frst to report the absorbed RF electromagnetic power in four diferent types of insects as a function of frequency from 2GHz to 120GHz. A set of insect models was obtained using novel Micro-CT (computer tomography) imaging. These models were used for the frst time in fnite-diference time-domain electromagnetic simulations. All insects showed a dependence of the absorbed power on the frequency. All insects showed a general increase in absorbed RF power at and above 6GHz, in comparison to the absorbed RF power below 6GHz. Our simulations showed that a shift of 10% of the incident power density to frequencies above 6GHz would lead to an increase in absorbed power between 3–370%.

Comment from Mona Nilsson in response to Eric van Rongen’s comment on BRHP
by Dariusz Leszczynski, betweenrockandhardplace.wordpress.com, 30 April 2018

On March 30, 2018, I published a blog “Aftermath of the peer-review of the NTP study: Do not hold your breath…”

In this blog post I wrote:

“When group of experts is assembled and the experts’ careers do not depend, in either direct or indirect way, on the telecoms, then the real scientific evaluation takes place. Not just a rubber-stamping of an opinion that is convenient for the telecoms, as it is done by the ICNIRP, WHO EMF Project and ICES. Because in ICNIRP and WHO EMF Project and ICES careers of the scientists are industry-dependent, even when the scientists are not directly employed by the industry. However, at ICES, the majority of the scientists is either employed by the industry or are consultants for the industry.”

“In response to this opinion expressed in my blog, Eric van Rongen, Chairman of the ICNIRP commented as follows:
