Watch Dr. George Carlo give a presentation about how wireless technologies from cell phones to wi-fi are making us ill.

Hi Darryl,

Yes.....I have never doubted it. There is so much evidence supporting Dr. Carlo's presentation, but it is kept a little quiet for now.

Thanks for the posting Darryl,
It certainly reminded me to spend less time on my mobile.

I watched some of the video, good but too much talking - we need clear, indisputable evidence before governments will do anything about it.

There is a lot of debate on this, and they (UK authorities) have decided that there is no evidence that mobile phones & emitters or microwaves are harmful.

This in my view is wrong, but clear evidence needs to be presented if this decision is to change.

Thanks for taking a look. There is so much evidence now to support this. Take a look at this study that just came out here:

This is their press release. Take a look at their site to see the full information

Renowned Scientists Issue Wake-up Call on EMF and RF Radiation Hazards
State University of New York at Albany / August 30 / An international working group of renowned scientists, researchers and public health policy professionals (The BioInitiative Working Group) has released its report on electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and health. It raises serious concerns about the safety of existing public limits that regulate how much EMF is allowable from power lines, cell phones, and many other sources of EMF exposure in daily life.

The report documents scientific evidence raising worries about health impacts including childhood leukemia (from power lines and other electrical exposures), brain tumors and acoustic neuromas (from cell and cordless phones) and Alzheimers disease. There is evidence that EMFs are a risk factor for both childhood and adult cancers. EMFs from such sources as electric power lines, interior wiring and grounding of buildings and appliances are linked to increased risks for childhood leukemia and may set the stage for adult cancers later in life.

The BioInitiative Report () to be released on Friday, August 31, 2007 documents the scientific evidence that power line EMF exposure is responsible for hundreds of new cases of childhood leukemia every year in the United States and around the world.

Wireless technologies that rely on radiofrequency radiation (RF) to send emails and voice communication are thousands of times stronger than levels reported to cause sleep disorders, headaches, problems with memory and concentration and other adverse physical symptoms.

Public health expert and co-editor of the Report Dr. David O. Carpenter, Director, Institute for Health and the Environment at the University of Albany, New York states:
This report stands as a wake-up call that long-term exposure to some kinds of EMFs may cause serious health effects. Good public health planning is needed now to prevent cancers and neurological diseases linked to exposure to power lines and other sources of EMFs. We need to educate the public and our decision makers that business as usual is unacceptable.

Co-editor Cindy Sage of Sage Associates asserts:
Public health and EMF policy experts have now given their opinion of the weight of evidence. The existing FCC and international limits for public and occupational exposure to EMFs and RF radiation are not protective of public health.

New public safety limits and limits on further deployment of risky technologies are warranted based on the total weight of evidence

To me the fact that there is so much evidence to support there is a problem. Not to mention the people I know with brain tumors on the same side of the head they use their cell phone and electrosensitive people. It is unfathomable for our govts to still say they are safe and that nothing should be done.

At least in the UK there is a discussion about it. The wi-fi panaroma on the BBC was great.

Perception

I suppose that would depend how you feel about it.

Theres so many radio waves and TV signals flying around aswell. Maybe when analogue is switched off things will become "clearer". Theres far too many signals flying around at the moment - more than ever with multi channel TV and radio.

I always suspected that cell phones would prove to be dangerous. With widespread use of cellphones, it will take a lot of convincing of the government to put regulations on their use, for public safety.
