GRAVE Cell Phone Dangers Revealed...

Article by Will Thomas

Though intended for renovations, Chris Anderson would like all visitors to
deposit their cellular phones in the cement mixer by his front door. This
sounds excessive * until you step into Anderson's orchard, where the pegged
needle of a shrieking electromagnetic radiation (EMR) meter placed beside a
connected cellphone still shows significant exposure 100 feet away.

Much to the chagrin of this certified EMR-mitigation specialist, every day
some 300 million cell phone users are "reaching out and touching someone you
love. Yourself, and anyone else within range of the microwaves emitted by
your cell phone."

Mesmerized by magical gadgets, we have yet to count the costs of miniature
radio transmitters that are transforming Marconi's invention into new
possibilities for portable personal pollution. As entire nations reach for
pocket communicators, the explosively emergent $40 billion a year cell phone
industry is poised to deliver a "Wireless Revolution" that over the next
five years is expected to double the one-billion people connected by
telephone lines over the past century.

Silicon sensors are already calling to each other. Soon, countless
communicating microchips embedded in everything from bumpers to brooms will
be sending streams of encoded electrical energy through glass, steel,
concrete, bone and flesh. Exquisitely sensitive to subtle electromagnetic
harmonies, human brains and bodies as intricate as galaxies depend on tiny
electrical impulses to conduct complex life-processes * including the
ability to read, recall and respond to these words. Acting as antennas, our
anatomies just as easily tune into spurious signals from radio and microwave
transmissions. Blake Levitt, author of Electromagnetic Fields, says that
when it comes to cellphones, "a worse frequency could not have been chosen
for the human anatomy."

As cell phones conquer consumer minds and markets, researcher Carolanne
Patton notes that "the brain reaches peak absorption in the UHF bands, right
where cellular telecommunications operate." British military scientists have
discovered that cellphone transmissions disrupt the brain sites for memory
and learning, causing forgetfulness and sudden confusion.

Other studies show that electromagnetic signals from cellular phones reduce
the ability to concentrate, calculate and coordinate complicated activities
such as driving a car. Startled by $4 billion a year in extra claims among
cellphone-wielding drivers, North American insurers did a double-take that
found simply juggling `cell phones is not causing a 600% increase in
accidents over other drivers busy shaving, applying makeup, tuning radios,
taming pets, making out, pouring coffee, retrieving dropped cigarettes,
talking and gesturing to passengers, or actually steering the vehicle.

Instead of just another dangerous distraction, tests conducted by the U.S.
Department of Energy found that using a cell phone severely impairs memory
and reaction times. "Hands-free" mobile speaker-phones cause even more
crashes because they typically emit 10-times more brainwave interference
than handheld units.

For all drivers dialing out on their cell phones, University of Toronto
investigators report that the heightened probability of cracking up your car
persists for up to 15-minutes after completing a call. That's comparable to
the risk of crashing while driving dead drunk exclaims Dr. Chris Runball,
chairman of the B.C. Medical Association's emergency medical services
committee. Reeling from "dial-a-collision" costs, the government of British
Columbia may join England, Spain, Israel, Switzerland and Brazil in
restricting or banning the use of cell phones by drivers.

In New Zealand, cellphone towers are prohibited on school property because
of possible health effects. But Health Canada regulations ignore the hidden
hazards of cell-wrenching cellphones, which send pulsed signals through the
skull in a process one expert likens to "jackhammers on the brain." "Safety
Code 6" looks only at microwaves burning skin. "Basically, Health Canada
claims if it can't cook you, it can't hurt you," says Walter McGinnis. "It's
like saying cigarettes aren't dangerous unless they burn you."

One of a handful of licensed electricians who understand electromagnetic
fields well enough to eliminate them from household wiring, McGinnis has
been testing EMFs and collaborating with fellow testers and researchers for
nearly a decade. In Victoria, where he has helped residents defeat six
cellphone towers, there was dancing in the streets after Microcell
Connexions withdrew its application to erect a microwave transmission tower
against the Wishart Elementary School fence in the spring of 1998. Microcell
spokesman Colin McCrae points out that emissions from the company's towers
carry about the same energy as a 50-watt lightbulb * well within federal
guidelines.

This is hardly reassuring, retorts the former president of the Wisehart
parents advisory council. Tania Berenuik observes that Health Canada "also
told us thalidomide, asbestos and the blood supply were safe." Carrying
similar risks of long-term lethality, and strangely just as legal, cellphone
addiction mirrors the prestigious early allure of smoking * as well as an
immensely profitable industry's steadfast denial of risk and responsibility.
As poisonous as cigarette smoke and even harder to corral, the cellphone's
"second-hand" microwave and to bystanders * particularly children riding in
cars that transmit amplified cellphone signals through their steel
structure. Reporting the conclusions of a 12-person British study team,
scientist Sir William Stewart told London's Financial Times that "children
may be more vulnerable because of their developing nervous system, the
greater absorption of energy in the tissues of the head and a longer lifetim
e of exposure."

Roger Coghill became a long-standing advocate for health warnings to be
affixed to cell phones after this biologist found that cellphone
transmissions damage the ability of white blood cells to ward off infectious
disease by disrupting the immune system's electromagnetic communications.
Dr. Neil Cherry has measured accelerated aging, increased cell death and
cancers caused by radio frequency microwaves from cellphones and their relay
towers. With the brain's electro-chemical communications repeatedly zapped
by lightning-like cellphone pulses, this Ph.D. biophysicist warns that
headaches, fatigue, lethargy, nausea, dizziness, depression,
arteriosclerosis and even Alzheimer's can result from frequent or prolonged
calls on cell phones.

"There is also a higher incidence of cardiac problems," Cherry comments, "in
terms of the timing function in hearts. You get more heart attacks and more
heart disease - it has now been shown in many studies." The biophysicist
from Lincoln University in Christ Church, New Zealand has also found that
cell phones can murderously modify moods. In brains and bodies seriously
derailed by tiny imbalances in trace minerals and hormones, depression,
suicide, anger, rage and violence can result when calcium and serotonin
levels are disrupted by cellphone transmissions.

In 1995, Cell phone sales in North America exceeded the birth rate.
Hired by the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association to condone
cellphones, public health scientist George Carlo found that rare tumors on
the outside of the brain are more than doubled among cell phone callers *
particularly on the right side of the head where `phones are usually held.
Carlo told ABC's "20/20" that cell phone causes genetic damage that leads to
cancer. Warning of "the potential for a global health disaster," ABC
recommended "prudent avoidance" of cellphones after finding that every
cellphone they lab-tested exceeded the Federal Communication Commission's
standards for EMF absorption rates. EMF researcher Dave Ashton cautioned
20/20 viewers that because cellphones constantly search for the nearest
repeating tower, "long-term damage comes from cell phones in the stand-by
mode." Cell phone "shields" and headsets "cannot adequately address these
problems," Ashton added.

Dr. Carlo later told London's Express newspaper that cellphones cause
genetic damage following a dose-response curve. That is, the more a person
uses a cell phone, the more cellular destruction and health risks they
incur. Cell phone-confused cells can go crazy, Carlo cautioned. Experiments
on captive animals show that this cumulative DNA damage is passed on to
succeeding generations.

Addicted as we are to a culture of convenience, we forget how inconvenient
it is to contract cancer. An Adelaide Hospital study confirmed Carlo's
conclusions after finding B-cell lymphomas doubled in mice within 18 months
of one-hour daily exposure to power densities experienced by a cellphone
user. B-cell lymphomas are implicated in 85% of all cancers.

READY OR NOT
As magazine-size "cellular" relay antennas hidden in church steeples and
rooflines keep popping up just about everywhere, more and more communities
are declaring their airspace a "No Fry Zone". But in Canada, where cell
phone towers come under federal jurisdiction, municipalities are only
"advisers' to a process in which no permits are required to erect
transmitter towers deemed necessary for "national security." Cellphones do
save a lot of lives. FCC Chairman William Kennard reports that every day
more than 98,000 people make 911 calls from wireless cell phones.

Many more lives are involuntarily imperiled by non-emergency calls. Pat
Irwin was working in a Colwood health food store when she noticed a truck
unloading metal framework. The next morning, a new cellphone tower was ready
to add its emissions to another BC Tel tower already operating down the
street. There had been no announcement, no public hearings * just a quiet
notification to the municipality that a tower was going up, literally
overnight.

The intruder radiated for a month when Irwin felt her immunity dropping. She
wondered if other changes in her energy and menstrual cycle were "not from
the moon or something that I ate."

Irwin also seemed more irritable after her central nervous switchboard began
receiving round-the-clock cellphone calls. With cellular relay towers in
Kansas and Oklahoma being shut down because they interfered with passing
aircraft, Irwin sensed how the same transmissions plucked her own electrical
circuitry, inflicting a "chronic edginess" that "twangs human nerves." Sleep
disorders, she learned, are common among people exposed to high levels of
electromagnetic pollution.

After several other women in the same business centre reported similar
symptoms, Irwin quit her job. "I saw it as something that was there to stay
and I'd be daily exposed to it over a long period of time," she told Alive.
"All this stuff is what we're playing with on a daily basis, and we don't
know the long-term health effects."

Implying recognized hazard, cell phone companies such as B.C.'s FIDO insist
that the new digital phones operating at 1/50 the power of older analog
models are safer. But there is nothing "safe" about the new 1.9 gigahertz
broadcasting frequency. Much like a boxer taking repeated blows to the head,
rapidly pulsing cellphones signal permanent brain damage. A study by Dr.
Peter Franch found unequivocally that "cells are permanently damaged by
cellular phone frequencies." This cellular damage, Franch noted, is
maximized at low dosage - and "inherited unchanged, from generation to
generation."

Attempting to explain a 25% increase in asthma and a 5% increase in
asthma-related death rates throughout rapidly "mobilizing" metropolitan
Sydney, Franch found that the production of histamine, which triggers
bronchial spasms, is nearly doubled after exposure to mobile phone
transmissions. Cellphones also reduce the effectiveness of anti-asthmatic
drugs, and retard recovery from illness.

Katharina Gustavss, a certified Building Biology consultant with 25 years
experience, explains that CDMA's 217 Hz spikes are very close to the
frequencies of human cell membranes. Gustavss accompanied a Microcell
technician to the Colwood microwave relay tower Irwin and others had
complained about. When he waved a spectrum analyzer, Gustavss checked the
display and saw "pretty scary" energy spikes. "What's that?" she asked the
tech. "I've never seen that before," he told her. It turned out that this
cellphone tower tester only set his meter to an averaging mode. Switching to
"real time" froze the readings at "scary" maximum output levels.

How dangerous are cell phones? "The risk is extremely high," declares Dr.
Cherry. "There are 66 epidemiological studies showing that electromagnetic
radiation across the spectrum increase brain tumors in human populations.
Two of those studies are for particular brain tumors from cell phones."

Cherry says that because cancer takes decades to develop, it will be another
10 or 20 years before "mobiles" manifest a big bonanza in brain tumors. But
he adds, we're already seeing "acute effects that are noticed within minutes
of using a cell phone."

After two minutes' conversation, a cell phone's digitized impulses disable
the safety barrier that isolates the brain from destructive proteins and
poisons in the blood. Professor Leif Salford, the neurologist who carried
out the research for this finding, informed the Daily Mail: "It seems that
molecules such as proteins and toxins can pass out of the blood, while the
phone is switched on, and enter the brain. We need to bear in mind diseases
such as MS and Alzheimer's which are linked to proteins being found in the
brain."

DANCING WITH THE TELECOMONSTER
If you must pack a cell phone, treat it like a loaded pistol. Keep it turned
off. Don't carry it near ovaries, testicles, or the heart. For partial
protection, buy an antenna shield. Limit calls to one-minute, six to 10
minutes a month. Never fire off a cellphone with children anywhere in sight.

A better bet is to facilitate the growth of organic telephone networks with
lots of fibre. Instead of more microwave towers, "We should be wiring up our
cities with fibre-optic cables to provide Internet, fax, telephone, radio
and television at very high quality," Cherry urges, "rather than saturating
our cities with the microwave, radiowave and low frequency signals all the
time."

When it comes to cells, consciousness and cell phones, every call is
collect. How can convenience count more than cancer? What is gained by being
in constant contact with disembodied voices, while being "out of touch" with
the friends and neighbours around us? Are we comfortable having our location
traced by monitoring authorities?

Unless we start voting with our wallets, consumer complacency could prove as
species-limiting as corporate cynicism. "Microwave frequencies are the same
as those used in radar and your microwave oven," says Florida cellphone
tower opponent Joe Chwick. "You wouldn't think of sticking your head in the
oven, but there is no hesitation to putting the cell phone to your ear."

Having somehow survived three-million years of evolution without them, many
contemporary hominids claim they cannot live without them. But can
exquisitely sensitive electromagnetic beings live with cell phones - and the
cell phone towers their signals ride in on? Like polyethylene food and water
containers, plastic cookers and coffeemakers, microwave ovens and
petroleum-powered brilliantly beguiling inventions we have to let go. Would
hanging up on such an intrusive and hazardous addiction be so terrible?

On Jan. 1, 2001 I cancelled my cellphone service... GOOD REASON to get your
cell phone protection chip here now...
