Wake Up America – NOW!

Have you seen T-Mobile ads promising free cell phone service for children under 12 years?  T-Mobile knows the danger of cell phones for youngsters. The industry knows what it is doing. Their knowledge of these dangers is revealed in the book that tracks the science and politics of cell phone radiation: “Cell Phones” by Dr George Carlo& Martin Schram.

The Cellular Telecommunication Industry Association (CTIA) asked Dr. Carlo to direct a $25 million research and surveillance program to assure cell phones are safe. When research produced evidence to the contrary the CTIA turned against Carlo, threatened his career and refused to issue appropriate warnings to the public- to the point of hiding devastating effects cell phones can have on pace makers and other hospital devices.

There were no tests of cell phones before Carlo’s Wireless Technology Research (WTR) group’s 7 year investigation ’93-’99. Federal agencies said they didn’t have authority to demand testing by wireless industries. The U.S. government didn’t want to lose money from the sale of bandwidths to various phone companies.  Amazing: regulators weren’t regulating, watchdogs weren’t watching, journalists weren’t investigating and there was no public outcry.

But now – hallelujah – the outcry has begun. Hemstead, NY is standing against the federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 – Section 704 (mentioned in previous article) by passing an ordinance prohibiting wireless companies from installing equipment closer than 1500 feet to homes, daycare centers, schools. The town-board followed FCC regulations not to consider health effects – instead officials described the vote as a quality of life issue. Hemstead has a population of 759,000. Let’s hope it works for them. Perhaps Taos County could take a look at their ordinance.

Another sign folks are waking up is found in 9/13/10 “Business Insurance” article by Gloria Vogel, director of Vogel Capital Management who warns of big trouble from the “wireless ecosystem” in terms of huge claims in the future from health problems caused by “more than 500,000 governmental and commercial antenna systems in the U.S.” http://www.businessinsurance.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F20100912%2FISSUE0401%2F309129980

Meanwhile, before rushing out to get your 10 year old a T-Mobile – a cute one with Disney characters on the headset –meditate on Dr.Carlo’s warning: “Children under the age of ten should not use wireless devices of any type; for children over the age of ten, pagers are preferable to wireless phones…..”

The Russian National Committee on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection says persons under 18 years should not use mobile phones. Children experience disruption of memory, decline in attention, diminished learning and cognitive abilities, sleep problems, increased irritability. After years of cumulative effect brain tumors and other anomalies were found.

Russia is one of a few countries to consider the non-thermal effects of RF radiation. They have a long interest in invisible matters and know the dangers of cell phones, particularly for children.

For those who must keep a phone at their finger-tips Carlo advises the following:
* Keep the antenna away from your body by using a headset, earpiece or speaker phone. (This does not include Bluetooth Technology earpieces.)

* Otherwise be sure the antenna is fully extended during phone use to avoid radiation being emitted from the entire phone and encompassing the entire head.

* When signal strength is low, don’t use the phone. “The lower the signal strength, the harder the instrument has to work to carry the call and the greater the radiation that is emitted from the antenna.”

* Don’t sleep with phone near bed in the ON position.

* The greatest amount of radiation is emitted during dialing and ringing. Keep the phone away from the body: “The amount of radiation in a single call can vary by factors of ten – 100depending on all of these variables.”

* Use cell-phones only for emergency situations

Electromagnetic energy is an invisible environmental factor that should be considered as important as air and water quality. Invisibility has made regulation difficult at best – best being exposure limits based on thermal effects (cooking ability). The thermal school of thought dominates U.S. government regulation of emission frequencies.

The cell phone with the lowest radiation emissions is Beyond E Tech Duet D 8 with a 0.109 SAR. The highest is Motorola V 195s with 1.6 SAR which is the limit allowed in U.S.
