[Hidden-tech] Cell Phones and EMF Risks Study

[Steven Solomon]

Folks,

In regard to cell phone/brain cancer debate, I'll add this. One study  
does not constitute proof or even cause for immediate worry. For  
example, I just read a report that directly contradicts the one cited  
in the original post. I apologize for not having the citation to the  
one I mention as it's buried somewhere in a conferencing system I  
use, and I don't remember which one at the moment. Maybe my cell  
phone has melted my mind and is rotting my brain.

In any case, the report I refer to was a meta-study culled from 20- 
some years of data. It found no correlation between cell phones and  
cancer and faulted many of the data sets and methodologies in the  
studies examined. For example, on one end of the spectrum of cell  
usage were countries like Israel and Finland, where no correlation  
was found. Meanwhile, on the other end of the spectrum, places like  
rural India and sub-Saharan regions with little cell use where often  
not polled. That's an important possible control that has been  
neglected thus far. Could it be, if there is indeed an increase in  
brain cancers in big user groups of handheld RF device that they also  
share similar diets, environments (pollutants), and other stresses on  
their bodies and minds? That question remains largely unasked and  
thus unanswered.

As to Microwave energy? There has been only one case of the  
government and courts allowing that MW was responsible in injuring a  
person. He was a the poor guy who worked as a janitor at the Langley  
CIA headquarters. It was his job from the early fifties to early  
seventies to clean leaves and other debris from the primitive 30' MW  
communications dish that connected Langley with DC. Basically, he got  
slow cooked. He was a swarthy fellow of Italian descent when he was  
hired and died with a freckled complexion, red hair, and mysterious  
liver problems. His wife and her attorneys fought for over a decade  
to get the government to settle the case. They won and a couple of  
months later the FCC issued new guidelines about RF techs being  
around running RF transmitters.

So, I guess the point is, yeah, when we deploy new tech some folks  
are apt to get fried. In this day and age, we are all sort of  
astronauts in a universe of Human-made photons. Some of us will get  
blown up, perhaps. Still, (personal opinion) until the government  
gets serious about studying these issues and distances itself from  
industry influence the data and reporting will continue to be muddled  
and we will all have to choose for ourselves as to our actions.
