Thought I would add two more items, then drop this thread. 1. Just read a short article in Conformity Mag. There is a published study "recording nearly 50 incidentsof electromagnetic interference from the use of mobile phones in hospitals"...three quarters of these were "significant or hazardous." Small items like incorrect pulsing of external pacemakers and complete stops in syringe pumps. It goes on to say that "Critical care equip is vulnerable to EM interference by new-generation wireless telecommunication technologies with median distances of abpout 3 cm." The article says that the paper is at Critical Care, an online journal Looks like we don't give Uncle George the cell phone when he is in the ICU. (Yes. I know Cooley-Dick doesn't allow cell phone useage in the building) 2. I should have mentioned for all those very concerned about this stuff, your wrist-watch radiates a very small amount of EM energy at 32 KHz. All quartz clocks & watches do. However the amount is under 2 nanowatts so the device doesn't require FCC approval.

I thought other hidden-tech'ers would be interested in this. ... Cell Phones and EMF Risks Study There are finally some long term studies coming out and the results are not good. Please pass this on. A condensed look at the picture: - long term cell phone use (for as little as one hour per day) for 10 years results in a 20 - 30% increased risk in two types of brain cancer - there is clear information that children are more at risk and should never use them - the studies impact relates both to cell phones, but also common cordless phones and other EMF emitting devices (like high power lines) To read more here's a good article about it, plus a link to the more detailed reports coming from the Bioinitiative Working Group, which is the international group of scientists that have done this research: good article on study: http://www.alternet.org/environment/65137/ the study: http://www.bioinitiative.org/ Also, here is a link to data on radiation levels coming from a range of cell phones: http://earthpulse.com/src/subcategory.asp?catid=4&subcatid=4 Now what to do with that information? And how to change? ~Charles Uchu _______________________________________________ Hidden-discuss mailing list - home page: http://www.hidden-tech.net Hidden-discuss at lists.hidden-tech.net You are receiving this because you are on the Hidden-Tech Discussion list.
