The "Interphone Study" is the name of a multi-country analysis on
cell phones and associated brain cancer risk (May 17, 2010). The
combined examination and results of the 13 countries participating in
the Interphone Study are published in the "International Journal of
Epidemiology". Find out why you are more likely to get brain cancer
after using a cell phone.
The study summarizes the data on mobile
phone radiation and associated cancer risk. It reviews brain tumors,
including acoustic neuroma (a tumor formed of nerve tissue) and tumors
of the parotid gland. The data linked "heavy" cell phone use to a 40%
increased risk of Glioma. The tumor would usually start on the side of
the head that people hold their phone. If the person was right-handed,
it would start behind the right ear. If the person was left-handed, it
would start behind the left ear.
However, the Interphone
definition of "heavy" cell phone use is only ½ hour of use per day. The
average usage for people today is well over ½ hour. Furthermore, the
mobile phone does not have to be "in use" for this length of time. The
fact that it is turned on, and in your bio-field, means that it is
altering your body frequency and immune system.
People have become
accustomed to surfing the net, using social media, and even watching
television on their smart phone. More and more apps are being developed
for smart phone users. Many are cancelling land line use and switching
to cell phone only. This means that as the usage of cell phones
increases, so does the risk of brain cancer.
Another cause for
alarm is the amount of radiation we are subjected to from laptop and
desktop computer monitors, hand-held e-readers, playbooks and i-pads.
Radiation Safety standards are higher in most European countries. For
example, the Swedish safety standard for computers is a maximum of 0.25
milligauss at 50 cm (about 20 inches) from your display screen. Many US
and Canadian screens emit 5-100 milligauss at that distance. There is
some disagreement as to what a "safe" reading is. Sweden has suggested a
background reading of 2 milligauss. Other countries suggest 1
milligauss or less. The average time spent on computers has increased
dramatically, just like the usage of cell phones. Children are more
susceptible because their brains and immune systems are still
developing. As the usage of computers and hand-held devices increases,
so does the risk of brain cancer.
In 1989 the US Department of
Energy reported that "it has now become generally accepted that there
are, indeed, biological effects due to field exposure" from EMFs. It is
not just the short-term effects that are evident. Long-term studies are
now surfacing showing a higher risk of various cancers due to EMF
exposure.
Short-term exposure can produce headaches, dizziness,
lack of concentration, fatigue, heart palpitations, compromise immune
function, affect sleep, decrease the effectiveness of therapeutic drug
treatment, cause skin rashes and decrease mental and physical
well-being.
Long-term exposure can produce mutations, cancer and degenerative brain diseases.
We
are all living in a world that is contaminated with Electropollution.
Isn't it about time that we find radiation protection for ourselves and
our children?
