Invisible Dangers

Dr. George Carlo is very concerned about a looming health epidemic caused by cell phones. He should know since he was the chief scientist of the world's largest research effort into wireless safety. After six years of investigation, overseeing 200 researchers at the cost of more than 28 million dollars, Dr. Carlo became convinced that cell phones were dangerous - very dangerous.

Dr. Carlo, now a staunch critic of the Wireless Industry warns, "we are at the beginning of an epidemic of health problems related to cell phones. It is estimated that in 2006, 40,000 - 50,000 brain and eye cancers will be diagnosed caused directly by cell phones. However, by 2010, if some kind of intervention is not affected, we anticipate a half million cases of eye and brain cancers directly attributable to these devices. We have a very serious problem. The good news is that we are at the beginning of an epidemic curve, which means we have an opportunity to intervene."

The largest emerging population of cell phone users is teenagers and young adults. Dr. Carlo's early findings discovered that using a cell phone for only 500- 1,000 minutes per month doubled or tripled the risk of eye and brain cancers. A 2004 study showed that an average teenager uses about 2,600 minutes per month! Teenagers have become the unwitting guinea pigs in a massive cell phone experiment.

Children with their more vulnerable brains and nervous systems are at the greatest risk from the damaging effects of radiation. While the UK has banned cell phone use for children under the age of 8, the US wireless industry aggressively targets children between 8 and 12 years old. In fact, 50 percent of American children own mobile phones. In 2005, in a 2 billion dollar deal, Disney Corporation joined forces with Sprint specifically to market to the next lucrative market - children as young as 6 years old.

Dr. Carlo explains precisely the mechanism behind the escalating EMR-induced health epidemic. "The primary damage is triggered at the cell membrane level, particularly the loss of intercellular communication. We're not built for this, as organisms we haven't figured out how to adapt. This is an unprecedented insult...a general systemic stress on life unlike anything we have ever known before."

As the veil lifts, it is a sobering realization that electropollution is the greatest toxic threat to our health in the 21st century.
