Cell Phone Radiation and Your Health

Cell Phones Lower Sperm Count, Study Says

2008-03-19T23:15:00.004-10:00

A published study by a Cleveland Clinic found cell phone radiation lowers sperm counts and causes abnormalities in sperm shape and mobility. The study compared semen samples from the same men and subjected one sample to cell phone radiation for an hour to determine if abnormalities are caused solely by radiation exposure.

This is another reminder that men should avoid putting their phones and Bluetooth devices inside their pants pockets when the phone is on, as the heat from the radiation may heat the testes and disturb semen production. You can read the report here: Study links cellphones and lowered sperm count. Also see the preliminary findings of the same study reported a year and a half ago.

This is not the first study that looked at this issue. Hungarian researchers four years ago also made similar findings: Men and Mobiles: Calls to Take Caution.

Cell Phones and Bees

2007-05-11T19:53:00.000-10:00

By now most everyone has heard or read about the mysterious disappearance of bees, in what is known as Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). While some scientists suggest that cell phone radiation may have something to do with it, it is all highly speculative and doesn't answer a lot of questions, the main one being: Why only now when cell phones and cell phone towers have been around for years?

Still, experts like Dr. Carlo is "...convinced the possibility is real." The radiation from the mobile phones could disrupt the bees' navigational system. In a small study conducted by Landau University's Prof. Jochen Kuhn, GSM cell phone radiation from handsets placed near hives in the frequency range 900 MHz - 1800 MHz caused the bees to avoid the hive. German research has also long shown that the behavior of bees changes near power lines.

Most of the world's crops depend on pollination by bees, and without it the United States alone oculd lose 30 percent of its food supply. Albert Einstein once said that if the bees disappeared, "man would have only four years of life left". So this situation is causing quite a concern.

However, whether or not the cell phones have anything to do with the collapse of the bee colonies, there are enough reports on the media over the years with regards to mobile phones and their effects on human health. Until the wireless industry wises up and ensures safety of its products, we are left on our own to employ precautions.

The MRET technology, used in the BioPro Cell Chip, superimposes a low-frequency 'noise field' on the electromagnetic radiation to make it compatible with the naturally occurring electromagnetic signals of our own cells. Could something as simple as this, adopted industry-wide and built into every cell phone and wireless device, be in our future? That's certainly something to hope for.

Cell Phone Dangers: Autism on the Rise

2007-04-18T22:19:00.000-10:00

In late 1970s, the ratio of autism in the United States was 1 in 10,000 children. Today it is 1 in 150, according to published CDC reports. This troubling increase parallels too closely the increased usage of cell phone, wireless and similar technologies that produce radio waves. Findings from more than five years of research on patients with autism point to electromagnetic radiation stress as one of the potential causes of the explosion of autism in the past two decades.

Tamara Mariea, founder of Internal Balance(TM), Inc., is releasing these findings in a soon-to-be-published paper. Her research also validates Dr. George Carlo's recent pronouncements of the mechanism discovered underlying the biological effects of EMR--that the information-carrying radio waves trigger stress protein responses at the cell membrane level leading to disruption in intercellular communications and buildup of toxins inside the cell. Tamara's research explores electromagnetic radiation as a cohort effect with heavy metal toxins as a strong component of the cause of autism, and has developed therapeutic interventions to detoxify these trapped toxins from the body.

Cell Phone Tumor and Ten-Year Latency

2007-04-07T22:14:00.000-10:00

There seems to be a consistent pattern emerging among studies of long-term effects of cell phone usage: an increased risk of acoustic neuromas and brain tumors for those who have used the mobile phones for ten years or more.

- A Swedish team, Lennart Hardell of Orebro University and Kjell Hansson Mild of the National Institute for Working Life in Umea, found that the long-term, ipsilateral risk (same side of head the phone was used) was two-and-a-half times higher for acoustic neuromas and twice as high for glioma (a type of brain tumor) as would normally be expected. Both risk estimates are statistically significant. The analysis was posted (March 2007) on the Occupational and Environmental Medicine Web site.

- On January 2007, members of the Interphone study group (epidemiologists from five European countries) also reported a 40% increased risk of ipsilateral brain tumors (gliomas) among those who had used mobile phones for ten or more years. Their report was published on the International Journal of Cancer.

- The German Interphone research team last year also had found an increased risk of gliomas, a 2.2 fold increase, among long-term users (ten years or more). Their study was published in the American Journal of Epiemiology.

- In 2004, the Swedish Interphone group reported in Epidemiology a doubling of acoustic neuromas among people who had used a mobile phone for ten years or more.

All these studies stress the need for longer follow-up to assess the long-term health risks associated with cell phone use. Scientists maintain the ten-year latency period is relevant in carcinogenesis because changes in tumor incidence would only follow after at least ten years of radiation exposure.

In the case of tobacco and asbestos, for example, epidemiologists have reported no statistically significant increase in lung cancer and mesothelioma, respectively, until there had been at least ten years of exposure. (source: Microwave News)

Dr. George Carlo's UK Parliament Presentation

2007-03-30T00:30:00.000-10:00

In the previous post we gave a link to the UK TV interview of Dr. George Carlo during his visit to the UK Parliament to give a presentation on EMF and its effects on health. You can read the Mast Sanity briefing about his presentation here: Mast Sanity Briefing - Presentation by Dr. George Carlo.

In addition to describing the mechanism that explains the development of symptoms of electrosensitivity, Dr. Carlo also outlined three levels of intervention the public should be aware of:

"Primary - The reduction/elimination of exposure, e.g. by shielding, and the employment of measures that prevent the inappropriate triggering of the cell receptors, thus acting on the cause of the problem (headsets and active/passive noise field technologies)."
- The Cell Chip's MRET noise-field technology falls under this category.

"Secondary. The support of the extant biological system through the use of measures that maintain/restore intercellular communication. These measures are most effective in conjunction with primary interventions and include: subtle energy technologies, diodes, and some pendants."
- The Cell Chip's ERT, and the Q-Link pendant's SRT, both subtle energy technologies, belong to this class.

"Tertiary. The use of measures designed to reverse ill effects and to repair cell damage, e.g. by using technologies that act to rehabilitate and correct cell damage. These work only in conjunction with primary and secondary intervention technologies and include: nutritionals, anti-oxidants and repair supplements."
- Antioxidants, such as SOD, catalase, glutathione, and Coq10, are found to be depleted from the body by microwave exposure and may need to be replenished. Other nutritional support that could be helpful includes: melatonin, a powerful anti-oxidant noted to prevent DNA breaks in brain cells; zinc, helps preserve the levels of anti-oxidants in the blood; and gingko biloba, an herb considered a powerful anti-oxidant which prevents oxidative damage in the brain, eye and kidney. Gingko also helps support the production of SOD, catalase and glutathione. All these can be readily found at any health food store. (For more information on nutritional support for combating EMR exposure, see Would You Put Your Head in a Microwave Oven by Gerald Goldberg, MD, available from Amazon.com and other bookstores.
- BioPro Technology's P2R stress repair formula, as well as the ERT-charged Vitatonic and BioProduce nutritionals, also provide excellent support.

Dr. George Carlo: New Data Proves Cell Phones Harmful

2007-03-25T21:55:00.000-10:00

Dr. George Carlo, Chairman of the Science and Public Policy Institute, Washington DC, claims in a UK interview that it has new data that indicates use of mobile phones are damaging to humans. As Dr. Carlo reveals, "We have new data from our Safe Wireless Initiative in Washington, DC, that indicates the mechanism that underlies a cause for concern is clearly now elucidated. We understand that these information-carrying radio waves trigger protein membrane responses at the cell membrane level leading to disruption of intercellular communications and buildup of free radicals inside the cell. This mechanism understanding is very important, because it now explains the wide diversity in symptoms that we are seeing in patients who are reporting electro-hypersensitivity and also other conditions such as headaches, and unexplained anxiety, that henceforth from this point forward we'll know will be associated with information-carrying radio waves." You can watch the video interview with Dr. Carlo here.

By the way, this 'mechanism' that Dr. Carlo describes is what the MRET (Molecular Resonance Effect Technology) addresses in the new BioPro Cell Chip. It prevents precisely the triggering of protein responses in the cell membrane by superimposing a 'noise-field' on the electromagnetic wave similar to the resonance frequencies of living cells in the body. In other words, the cell no longer sees the EMF wave as foreign and does not have to go through its stress reaction. You can learn more about how this works here: How MRET Works

Radiation from Cell Phones Linked to Lower Male Fertility

2007-03-24T12:52:00.000-10:00

New evidence shows men using cell phones for more than 4 hours a day have greater likelihood of developing impaired sperm production, leading to lower sperm count, quality and quantity. The study's leading researcher, Dr. Ashok Agarwal, explained that the electromagnetic waves from the cell phone could be heating up tissue in the testicles or altering hormones which impacts sperm production. He's planning to publish his results in a fertility journal soon. You can read the full article (and watch the video) here: Cell Phones and Male Fertility.

This report echoes a similar finding two years ago by a team of scientists from Hungary, which showed men who regularly carry their mobiles near the groin, on a belt or in a pocket could potentially have their sperm count reduced by as much as 30 percent.
