Controversial data

A 2008 University of Utah analysis looked at nine studies - including some Herberman cites - with thousands of brain tumor patients, and concluded "we found no overall increased risk of brain tumors among cellular phone users. The potential elevated risk of brain tumors after long-term cellular phone use awaits confirmation by future studies."

Studies last year in France and Norway concluded the same thing.

"If there is a risk from these products - and at this point we do not know that there is - it is probably very small," the Food and Drug Administration says on an agency Web site.

Still, Herberman cites a "growing body of literature linking long-term cell phone use to possible adverse health effects including cancer."

"Although the evidence is still controversial, I am convinced that there are sufficient data to warrant issuing an advisory to share some precautionary advice on cell phone use," he wrote in his memo.

A driving force behind the memo was Devra Lee Davis, the director of the university's center for environmental oncology.

"The question is, do you want to play Russian roulette with your brain," she said in an interview from her cell phone while using the hands-free speaker phone as recommended. "I don't know that cell phones are dangerous. But I don't know that they are safe."

Of concern are the still-unknown effects of more than a decade of cell phone use, with some studies raising alarms, said Davis, a former health adviser in the Clinton administration.

cancer center in Pittsburg warns of cell phone risks

Cell phones emit radiofrequency energy, a type of radiation that is a form of electromagnetic radiation, according to the National Cancer Institute. Though studies are being done to see if there is a link between it and tumors of the brain and central nervous system, there is no definitive link between the two, the institute says on its Web site.

"By all means, if a person feels compelled that they should take precautions in reducing the amount of electromagnetic radio waves through their bodies, by all means they should do so," said Dan Catena, a spokesman for the American Cancer Society. "But at the same time, we have to remember there's no conclusive evidence that links cell phones to cancer, whether it's brain tumors or other forms of cancer."

Joe Farren, a spokesman for the CTIA-The Wireless Association, a trade group for the wireless industry, said the group believes there is a risk of misinforming the public if science isn't used as the ultimate guide on the issue.

"When you look at the overwhelming majority of studies that have been peer reviewed and published in scientific journals around the world, you'll find no relationship between wireless usage and adverse health affects," Farren said.

Frank Barnes, who chaired the January report from the National Research Council, said Wednesday that "the jury is out" on how hazardous long-term cell phone use might be.

Speaking from his cell phone, the professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Colorado at Boulder said he takes no special precautions in his own phone use. And he offered no specific advice to people worried about the matter.

It's up to each individual to decide what if anything to do. If people use a cell phone instead of having a land line, "that may very well be reasonab

CELL PHONE RADIATION STUDIES

In general, all of us MUST keep in mind that the human body is an electrical system. It will be, and is affected by, outside RF energy fields that can promote unwanted nerve stimulation, cancer, heating effects, and many other unwanted effects.

A comparison table for telephone effective radiation head exposure has been developed to provide reference values. [4] This value varies considerably for dozens of different cell phone models tested. DNA breakdown is among the most disturbing findings of studies done, which can lead to illness and tumors. There are now new links to brain cancer being uncovered as you read this. There is new concern over those that wear cell phones on their belts, because of the close proximity of the antenna to kidneys. The liver which can rebuild itself to some degree after being damaged, but your kidneys cannot.

One notices that RF exposure studies in the media from Europe are much more common and considerably more vocal than those done in America. Publishing negative study results in North America will have a negative effect on the billion dollar market, and subsequently affect stock in cell phone companies. Cell companies have managed to keep the lid nailed shut on the box, in so far as mainstream media are concerned, but this can only last for so long. I personally was not convinced of the damage potential of low level RF radiation for more than 20 years. That is, until reading a number of test results, all saying very much the same thing
about observed detrimental effects on living organisms.

Can cellphone tower radiations cause cancer? city residents question
Sameer Kumar Sharma
Posted online: Sunday, June 22, 2008 at 0001 hrs IST
Ludhiana, June 21
Suspected to be one of the main reasons behind the high incidence of cancer in an area in Sarabha Nagar, the mobile phone base stations in the residential complex have become a centre of debate within the scientific community.
The question whether electromagnetic field (EMF) radiations emitted by cellphone towers affect health and increase the risk of cancer is, however, still without concrete answers, say experts.
But the residents of Sarabha Nagar Block I are worried and concerned, and attribute the high incidence of cancer to electromagnetic field (EMF) radiations emitted by the cellphone towers.
“We have noticed over the years that people living in the houses nearest to the two cellphone towers have reported cancer cases among family members. Already, seven patients of cancer are there in seven houses and especially women. Moreover, three have already died in the recent past,” says SS Tuli, who has written a letter to the authorities expressing their concern.
Residents also cite six studies conducted in different countries to drive home their point.
A study conducted in Germany revealed that the proportion of newly developing cancer cases was significantly higher among patients who had lived during the past ten years at a distance of up to 400 metres from the cellular transmitter site.

Raw Herb Crusted Portobello Mushroom Steak and Top 10 Foods in Our Kitchen #102

kevingianni — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 19:27:01 GMT

http://www.therenegadehealthshow.com - This episode had its challenges...

First we needed to cram a prep show into 10 minutes.

Second... on top of the prep show... we needed to give you the Top 10 foods you'll always find in our kitchen.

The criteria for this was simple...

1. The food is always in our kitchen.

2. It has to be a perishable (not a spice or anything dried)

This is NOT a list of the healthiest foods on earth or anything like that. Many people ask us what we eat and from this list, you'll get a pretty good idea!

We ALSO prepare and awesome raw herb-crusted portobello mushroom steak that has a pine nut cheese topping. It tastes awesome and is amazing for outdoor raw or vegan "barbecues". We got this recipe from GoneRaw.com, a great source for raw recipes! (Actually it looks like Rhio is the author of this one.)

Go ahead and watch it now...

What is safer? Bluetooth headsets, Microwave Ovens, Cell Phone Radiation, hands free headsets???

The frequency power of wireless headsets rivals that of microwave ovens, which also operate at 2.4 GHz”
Fact: Frequency and power are two separate things. Something can operate on a frequency. The amount of POWER required is something a little different. Wherever this information came from is flawed for this very FACT.
As well, one cannot compare a microwave to a cell phone or Bluetooth for that matter because the POWER required is significantly more. Example a modern day microwave that cooks food requires 1100 watts. However, the Bluetooth signal at 1 milliwatt is extremely low (hence the lower range), compared to some cell phones, which may emit up to 3 watts. The signal is also transmitted throughout a space and not in a single, powerful beam. Bluetooth radiation is considered far less bothersome than cell phone radiation. Do you see why Bluetooth could Not have the implications these idiots are saying?
I want to be clear: because something operates on the same frequency does not mean that it has the power to COOK. Ultimately that is what radiation is.

This next statement takes the wind out of anyone’s sails who thinks a headset with a wire is better than Bluetooth, because the fact is the wire IS an antenna!
“What about using a hands-free kit to keep the phone away from my head?
Answer: Hands-free kits are currently used for convenience, by law in some states while driving a vehicle and mostly by concerned cell phone users who want to keep the phone away from their head because of concern about radiation. However in studies and tests of many of the hands-free kits by scientists and consumer groups in Europe, they found that the wire from the ear piece acts as an aerial and actually increases the radiation by three times.”

Cell Phone Radiation and Pregnancy

In a study done jointly by U.S. and Danish researchers the offspring of mothers who used a cell phone during pregnancy showed a dramatic increase in behavior issues such as hyperactivity and emotional problems.

The cell phone only had to be used two or three times a day during the pregnancy so it wasn't as if these moms were spending hours and hours on their cell phones. Translation: it didn't take much "exposure" in the way of proximity to cause this.

And get this. Among those children who had also used a cell phone by age 7 the incidence of behavior problems was 80% higher!

Researchers were completely surprised and have no explanation for the findings at this point. It isn't a proximity issue for the fetus since the majority of mothers carried their cell phones in a bag or purse during their pregnancy and not on their bodies. So it apparently has nothing to do with how close the phone was to the body.

The study also showed these children were 25% more at risk for emotional problems, 34% more likely to have difficulties relating to their peers, 35% more likely to be hyperactive, and 49% more likely to have conduct problems.

It's also worth noting in this study that 30% of Danish seven-year olds were already using a cell phone! That's right! 30%! Now why does a seven-year old need a cell phone in the first place?

I hope you'll share this information with all the pregnant moms you know.

FYI the study is scheduled to be published in the July 2008 issue of the journal Epidemiology.

3 Ways to Reduce Cell Phone Radiation Exposure

HOW TO MINIMIZE CELLPHONE RADIATION EXPOSURE
Experts say cellphones are here to stay, whether health risks are proven or not, and that many people will spend the majority of their lives using them.
To minimize lifetime exposure to cell radiation, here are precautionary measures users can take:
Use an earpiece instead of holding the device to your head, particularly for longer conversations.
Keep conversations to a minimum.
Avoid long conversations in locations, such as rural areas or enclosed areas, where a cellphone's network signal is weak. A weak signal makes the phone emit more power so it can connect to a faraway cell tower.
If you buy your preteen or young teenager a phone, make sure he or she follows the above precautionary measures.

Deadliest job in America: Working on cell phone towers

airtubeheadset7 — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 05:43:00 GMT

Next time you can't get a cell phone signal in the middle of town, put your problem in perspective: New figures show that the deadliest job in America now goes to the men and women who construct, upgrade, and repair cell phone towers.
According to a story in this week's RCR Wireless News (no online link yet), building and climbing towers (which can be hundreds of feet tall) is more dangerous than ranching, fishing, logging, and even ironworking. The fatality rate is currently 183.6 deaths per 100,000 workers: Five tower workers died during one 12-day span earlier this year alone. 18 tower workers died on the job in 2006.
The cause for the runup in tower worker deaths isn't completely clear, but it's likely a combination of careless working practices (workers not using safety gear 100 percent of the time, or not using it correctly) and network operators pushing to build out and upgrade their networks too quickly. Hard to blame carriers for wanting to get faster networks up and running, but not at the cost of human life. (RCR is careful to note that the investigation into the rise in fatalities is too early to attribute to any specific source.)
Oddly, a loophole in OSHA rules may make it difficult for changes to happen quickly: Towers are often constructed by small contractors instead of the carriers or the owners of the towers. Since the carrier isn't on site during the construction of the tower, the contractor receives the fine and the carrier and owner face no sanctions. (That hasn't stopped the families of some of the deceased workers from suing carriers, though.)
Up next: Workers and their unions are hoping to push through federal legislation which could lead to more thorough regulations covering safety in this largely ignored industry.

Silicon Alley Insider Raises Funds to Further Expansion

Congrats to Henry Blodget and the crew down the block at the Silicon Alley Insider. Henry announced that the new media/tech/finance blog has received funding.

Rafat Ali on paidContent reports that the amount is something under $ 1 million at a $6 million post money valuation, which actually is very close to the valuation of $5.4 million placed on it by 24/7 Wall Street in March.

I've republished my interview with SAI co-founder Kevin Ryan about the new publishing enterprise.
