National Toxicology Program: Not the First Government Study to Find Wireless Radiation Can Cause Cancer in Lab Rats

National Toxicology Program: Not the First Government Study to Find Wireless Radiation Can Cause Cancer in Lab Rats

Electromagnetic Radiation Safety, June 3, 2016

The National Toxicology Program's recent study is not the first randomized controlled trial to find that exposure to non-thermal levels of microwave radiation can cause cancer in male rats.

A U.S. Air Force study conducted from 1980 to 1982 which was documented in a series of nine technical reports and later published in the peer-reviewed journal, Bioelectromagnetics, found that 18% of 100 male rats exposed to low-intensity microwave radiation for two years developed cancer as compared to only 5% of 100 rats in the sham-exposed control group. The relative risk of developing cancer in the wireless radiation exposure group was 4.46 (p = .005).



When will the federal government fund the research needed to determine the types and amounts of exposure to cellphone and other wireless radiation that are safe?

Obituary - Professor Bhanu Iyengar

Obituary - Professor Bhanu Iyengar

Dear All on my mailing list,

This morning I received news about a former coworker, professor Bhanu Iyengar from India, who suddenly - after a brief illness - passed away on April 29th, this year.

I am so very, very sorry to hear this, she was one of the nicest and most intelligent, warm-hearted and kind persons I have ever come across. She will be very much missed, be so sure.

My eyes are filled with tears, and on my office shelf (in front of me) I look at her beautiful small bags which she sent me as a gift, containing the most fantastic Indian teas. They will be loved and cherished items of remembrance.

I often discussed the issues of health effects of modern, artificial electromagnetic fields with her, when she stayed in my laboratory. When I told her that I had doubts about my own results and my own capacity, she looked at me and said "Don't be silly! Anyone with a healthy and working brain realizes that the modern society does contain profound dangers, no living creature can sustain such horrible loads of exposure as we are witnessing now. It is just a matter of time before the truth will be revealed. And your capacity is good enough, never worry about that, you silly man!"

I now say - "Dear Bhanu, in your Heavenly laboratory, keep your hand at us - the truth, as we have seen it emerge from the recent American Toxicology Program results, and similar - now is coming to us. You were so right."

With my very best regards

Yours sincerely
Olle

Telstra takes over Australia's new National Cancer Screening Register (NCSR)

Telstra takes over Australia's new National Cancer Screening Register (NCSR)

In its 2004 Annual Report, Australia’s Telstra corporation stated, under the heading “Risk factors”, that “the establishment of a link between adverse health effects and electromagnetic energy (EME) could expose us to liability or negatively affect our operations”. This concern is understandable for Telstra – for if a clear trend emerges in cancer statistics that there may be a connection between telecommunications technology and cancer, such as brain cancers from mobile phone use, it would be bad news indeed for Telstra.

Could this be a factor in Telstra going after control of Australia’s new National Cancer Screening Register, which the government has said “will ensure Australia remained a world-leader in cancer research, prevention and treatment”.

Will we see the register later enlarged to include brain cancers as well? If this were to be the case then it is not inconceivable that ‘inconvenient’ cancer data could be easily and quietly ‘massaged’ or hidden for the benefit of Telstra’s corporate interests.

Of course Telstra would never do such a thing would they? LOL!

The other BIG question is why has the government selected Telstra over far more experienced organizations to take control over the NCSR?

It will be interesting just who Telstra selects to run the NCSR….the usual suspects perhaps? READ ON.

This $25 million study, executed by the U.S. government, provides support for what we are stating in the ‘International EMF Scientist Appeal’, that a precautionary approach should be exercised and lower electromagnetic field exposure guidelines should be set.

SPIN vs FACT: National Toxicology Program report on cancer risk from cellphone radiation - Countering disinformation about the NTP study

SPIN vs FACT: National Toxicology Program report 

on cancer risk from cellphone radiation - 

Countering disinformation about the NTP study

Electromagnetic Radiation Safety, May 31, 2016

The National Toxicology Program (NTP) of the National Institutes of Health reported partial findings from their $25 million study of the cancer risk from cellphone radiation. Controlled studies of rats found showed that cellphone radiation caused two types of tumors, glioma and schwannoma. The results “…could have broad implications for public health.”

See http://bit.ly/NTPsaferemr for a one-page fact sheet which summarizes biased statements, or “Spin,”  about the NTP study and“Facts" which counter the disinformation.

Sore head? Just blame it on your smartphone: Nearly half of us suffer from 'technology hangover' due to overuse

• Technology overuse leaving us with headaches, sore eyes and exhaustion
• Some 45 per cent admit too much technology leaves them exhausted,
• And 26 per cent say they feel drained after looking at a screen for too long

Feeling drained and exhausted with a splitting headache?

It may not be down to too many glasses of wine last night.

Instead, it could be your computer and smartphone that are to blame – leaving you with a ‘technology hangover’.

Feeling drained and exhausted with a splitting headache? It may not be down to too many pints last night. Instead, it could be your computer and smartphone

As we spend more time using technology, we are being left with headaches, sore eyes and exhaustion, according to research.

More than one in three Britons are suffering from sore eyes, while a further 17 per cent admitted that they have severe headaches after using technology for prolonged periods.

And some 45 per cent admit too much technology leaves them exhausted, while 26 per cent say they feel drained after looking at a screen for too long.

But emotional factors also cause technology hangovers – with one in 20 claiming that spending too much time online leaves them with low self-esteem.

More than one in three Britons are suffering from sore eyes, while a further 17 per cent admitted that they have severe headaches after using technology for prolonged periods

The survey, for a natural stress remedy firm, found 21 per cent of those asked find switching off a struggle after a long time online – and 15 per cent said staring at the screen has affected their sleep considerably.

More than a quarter said that they are left feeling ‘lost’ if their phone runs out of battery and 12 per cent say without their phone, they suffer with FOMO (fear of missing out).
