Here is the web link to the video files of the two CBC TV programmes - about health effects of mobile telephony as well as the impairment electrohypersensitivity - that was aired yesterday in Canada: http://tinyurl.com/bed8n

The industry of the cellular telephone has been attacked, for a few years, at a new market: children. Some 500 million of them uses. It is particularly popular to the teenagers, and some make use of it up to three hours per day.

However, there is not any study on the harmlessness of the microwaves of cellular for the children. So certain European countries prefer to use the principle of precaution, it is not the case in North America. In front of the absence of evidence, one assumes that the cellular one is sedentary.

In Sweden, several researchers consider the question. They worry that the children, because of their brain under development run a greater risk only the adults. They fear that the young users of cellular telephones do not develop late any more a more great number of neuro-degenerative and autoimmune diseases.

Already, a certain number of adults are victims of the electro-over-sensitiveness, caused by the microwaves of cellular telephony.

While waiting, the researchers preach prudence.

The cellular telephone and children

Electro-over-sensitiveness

--------

Dear Colleagues:

Radio (TV) Canada's news program "Decouverte" [Discovery] broadcast a two-part news show on EMFs last Sunday (Nov.20) evening.

You can watch both shows on Radio Canada's Web site:
http://radio-canada.ca/actualite/v2/decouverte/niveau2_5587.shtml#

The first part is on cell phones and kids and their risk of developing acoustic neuromas and brain tumors. Also cited is the University of Lund work showing that microwave radiation can lead to leakage through the blood-brain barrier. The second part is on electrosensitivity.

Among those on the show are:

Igor Belyaev
Lennart Hardell
Olle Johansson
Leif Salford
Per Segerback
--all of Sweden,
as well as Sir William Stewart in the U.K.

Sir William calls the marketing of phones to kids younger than eight "grotesque."

I was also interviewed.

Note that the show is in French.


Best,
