Dr Carlo Addresses Members of British Parliament at Westminster

Dr. Carlo Press Release (http://www.mastsanity.org/) - 26th February 2007

There were only 5 MPs present at the presentation by Dr Carlo of the
Safe Wireless Initiative, USA on mobile phone health risks at
Westminster on Thursday 22nd February. There has been a
virtual news blackout on his presentation in the UK media.

Mobile phones have been sold in the US and UK without any
pre-market testing or post-market surveillance. US
Congressional Hearings gave rise to a US$ 28 million research
program by Dr Carlo and his team at Harvard to investigate any
health effects of the technology. In 1999 the team released their findings:

1. that there was leakage in the blood brain barrier
2. genetic damage from non-thermal radiation
3. there was a doubling of risk for a certain type of cancer.

During 1999 and 2001 there was a split between the
scientists and the mobile phone industry.

Asked a question about wireless computers being installed
in British schools, Dr Carlo said 'the government should not
be conducting this experiment' on children.

Although there are studies and research for and against
health effects, the latest Interphone study does show an
increase in brain tumours and acoustic neuromas. Because of
that the German and Swedish Agencies for Radiation Protection
have issued warnings for people to keep their radiation exposure low.

He identified a lack of and urgent need for a postmarked
surveillance system to be established to collect clinical
data. Robert Flello MP (Labour, Stoke-on-Trent) stated at the
meeting that his constituents are concerned by a cancer
cluster and he has been trying to get data about the illnesses
and deaths but he has been sent from one agency to another
and back again. No one is collecting the data.

Dr Carlo said that primary care givers need to be alerted
to the situation and trained to recognise and treat the
symptoms of EMF radiation.

Yasmin Skelt, a volunteer with Mast Sanity and who was at
the meeting at Westminster said ?The British Government
need to urgently establish a Mobile Phone Telephony
Surveillance Unit based on the lines of the vCJD Surveillance Unit
( www.cjd.ed.ac.uk). If it can be done for vCJD then it can
be done for mobile phone and mast ill health reports.
Despite years of reports of cancer clusters near masts or a rise
the incidence in brain tumours in the UK, no authority is taking data.
Monitoring the health of workers in the mobile phone
industry would be useful also, as they would have high exposure
levels. Some early cases of vCJD were also mis-diagnosed and
the sufferers given the wrong treatment, and clusters of vCJD were identified.?

Brian Stein, who suffers from electrical hyper sensitivity
(a condition now recognised by the World Health
Organisation) asked who would be responsible when the campaigners were
all proved right. There was a deafening silence.

Dr Carlo also visited Ireland to talk to Irish doctors and
his visit has been reported in the Irish media. People can
