MOBILES ‘COULD DAMAGE YOUR HEART AND KIDNEYS’; New health warning

Posted by seumasach on January 4, 2009

Sunday Mirror

12th Decemeber, 2008

A DISTURBING new report claims that mobile phones could cause serious long-term damage to the heart and kidneys.

Scientists found that exposing red blood cells to low-level radiation caused them leak a subsance called haemoglobin.

The iron-based part of a red blood cell is vital because it carries oxygen around the body.

But if the haemoglobin leaks from the cells then it accumulates in the kidneys and heart, which could seriously damage your health. Read the rest of this entry »

Mobile phones and the birds and the bees

Mobile phones and the birds and the bees

By Ken Banks , IDG News Service , 12/19/2008    
“An article recently published in the popular press has suggested that there may be a link between the increase in numbers of mobile phone masts and the reduction in local sparrow populations. The number of sparrows in Britain has effectively halved from 24 million approximately thirty years ago to a present day figure of 14 million, a decrease of almost 50%.”

Abstract:

 

A possible effect of long-term exposure to low-intensity electromagnetic radiation from mobile phone (GSM) base stations on the number of House Sparrows during the breeding season was studied in six residential districts in Belgium. We sampled 150 point locations within the six areas to examine small-scale geographic variation in the number of House Sparrow males and the strength of electromagnetic radiation from base stations. Spatial variation in the number of House Sparrow males was negatively and highly significantly related to the strength of electric fields from both the 900 and 1800 MHz downlink frequency bands and from the sum of these bands (Chi²-tests and AIC-criteria, P < 0.001). This negative relationship was highly similar within each of the six study areas, despite differences among areas in both the number of birds and radiation levels. Thus, our data show that fewer House Sparrow males were seen at locations with relatively high electric field strength values of GSM base stations and therefore support the notion that long-term exposure to higher levels of radiation negatively affects the abundance or behaviour of House Sparrows in the wild.

Children in Risk – Outcome of EMF & Health, London

Posted by seumasach on December 16, 2008

Beyond Creativity

I am back. From the EMF & Health – A Global View, Royal Society, London.

For parents with children I have a message:

Don’t let your children use a mobile phone or a 3G data connection (without strict guidance) !

Why?

Where have the bees gone?

Posted by smeddum on December 16, 2008

Yet again Warnke’s research is ignored. Here we get a clue, money for research is more important. Dennis vanEngelsdorp wishes us to expand
the bee industry and encourage pollinators, but that ignores the fundamental growth of the intensity of EMF radiation over the recent period. Here is a timeline.

U. S. Senate Minority Report: More Than 650 International Scientists Dissent Over Man-Made Global Warming Claims

Posted by seumasach on December 15, 2008

US Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works

Full Report

INTRODUCTION:

Over 650 dissenting scientists from around the globe challenged man-made global warming claims made by the United Nations Intergovernemntal Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and former Vice President Al Gore. This new 231-page U.S. Senate Minority Report report — updated from 2007’s groundbreaking report of over 400 scientists who voiced skepticism about the so-called global warming “consensus” — features the skeptical voices of over 650 prominent international scientists, including many current and former UN IPCC scientists, who have now turned against the UN IPCC. This updated report includes an additional 250 (and growing) scientists and climate researchers since the initial release in December 2007. The over 650 dissenting scientists are more than 12 times the number of UN scientists (52) who authored the media-hyped IPCC 2007 Summary for Policymakers.

Uranium Weapons in Afghanistan: The Silent Genocide

Posted by seumasach on December 13, 2008

With  every passing day the deep, strategic, unspoken and unspeakable agenda of the Anglo-american elite becomes clearer: that agenda is genocide.

Christopher Horstel

11th December
A special issue in the field of war crimes committed by occupation forces in Afghanistan are so-called uranium weapons (1). Uranium is a heavy metal – and, as a consequence, has an extremely strong armour piercing effect. Since dirt-poor Afghanistan clearly cannot afford the luxury of any special armour-plating, the question has to be asked: what purpose does the use of such specialised weaponry serve when the military necessity is questionable?

Generation X’d Out: An end to the human race as we’ve known it?

Posted by seumasach on December 11, 2008

 

 

Babies born to GENERATION X-RAY may be on the fast track to humanity’s genetic DEAD END.

 

Amy Worthington

proliberty.com

The term “Generation X-ray” refers to youth addicted to communicating and recreating with wireless devices—cell phones, PDA’s, WiFi computers and music/gaming equipment. These wireless devices emit high-frequency microwave radiation, recently demonstrated by European researchers to efficiently inflict the same horrific damage on human cells as X-radiation.

Surveys reveal that the average American child under 18 now spends several hours a day irradiating himself with his cell phone “toy.” Meantime, Swedish scientists report that children and teens who use cell phones are up to five times more likely than non-users to suffer glioma brain cancer. Gliomas are among the most difficult to treat and deadly of human cancers. Children who use cordless household phones have over four times the risk of developing brain tumors.

 

The far-reaching health hazards to children and teens from wireless technology are well-documented in part one of this Idaho Observer series: 
Generation X-ray: Child Victims of Technological Abuse. While the European Parliament and governments around the world are calling for stricter limits on wireless exposure for kids, Gen X-ray continues to ride the down escalator towards disintegrating health and premature death.

 

Most tragically, because our young people have received no official warning from U.S health agencies, they unknowingly micro-cook their sperm, ova and fetuses with a radiation known to be just as mutagenic and teratogenic as gamma wave radiation from nuclear fallout. The science is clear. Babies born to the hard-core wireless generation will suffer a high probability of genetic corruption from their very seed.

 


Scientists warn that a pregnant woman using a cell phone, with or without a headset or bluetooth device, could cause her to place the transmitting phone near her abdomen, exposing her baby to dangerous levels of microwave radiation. Both the pelvic structure and amniotic fluids promote the deep penetration of microwaves, which can be easily absorbed by the fetus.
  

 

 

We see them everywhere now. Armies of American women of childbearing age roam dazed through shopping centers with transmitting cell phones pressed firmly to their heads. Often with forlorn pre-schoolers traipsing behind, these gals wander the aisles getting “stoned” on microwaves. The opiod-like “high” they glean from skull-piercing phone radiation is documented in animal studies to habituate like nicotine.1 No one has told them that an extended cell phone “fix” enshrouds their bodies in high-frequency electromagnetic energy with potential to unleash devastating effects on both their living and future offspring.

A Change Has Got To Come-EM Radiation and Health

Posted by seumasach on December 10, 2008

I recently read Blue Windows by Barbara Wilson. Barbara was raised as a
Christian Scientist. Christian Scientists are admonished to look out of only
rose-colored windows because evil and sickness do not exist. Everything is
perfection. Her mother ended up getting breast cancer and completely lost it, as
this did not fit her belief system. The poor woman drank Drano in her effort to
kill herself. She never regained her sanity through her years of treatment for
the damage done by the Drano and the breast cancer and eventually died from it.
Barbara’s grandmother was a Christian Scientist practitioner who spent her days
performing remote healing. To her dying day she never told her community about
what happened to her daughter. Again it did not fit her belief system.
