Experts investigating biological effects of cell phone radiation asked to shut up or quit jobs
No place to hide: Doctor Claudio GOMEZ PERRETTA LOOKING FOR INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT
In June 2002 in the journal "No place to hide" we could read that Claudio GOMEZ PERRETTA (Spain), Olle JOHANSON (Sweden), Lebrecht von KLITZING (Germany), Gerard HYLAND (England) and Roger SANTINI (France), were under pressures because of their studies on mobile telephony.

LOOKING FOR INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT:
We, the members of the Spanish team who did the work about microwave exposure from GSM base stations and possible health consequences to the surrounding neighbours (*); won´t be able to continue working on this topic after being denied the grant to finance those studies. We had to wait as whichever other research group, a long year until receive recently a very simplistic letter, only four lines from the Health Institute Carlos III (if you wish to write: webmaster@isciii.es) as responsible for the Spanish studies of the Health Ministry at Madrid.
They point out that our team has not sufficient curriculum and experience being the methodology and objectives unclear. But, how can be it true if we are extending the initial study published in an international scientific journal, only to a bigger sample, the former accepted from the scientific community being continuously cited as reference article, as one of the pioneer works in this area.
However and very curiously, this Institute which now cut our wings failed to produce scientific results from some intriguing clusters of malign tumours occurred in several places of Spain, where important wireless structures were build close to children areas, for instance the García-Quintana School of Valladolid (until five diagnosed leukaemia’s in its students under 6 year old ) and other places... thinking only in lacking interest from them to conclude some plausible results: Or, finally summarized in the Spanish proverb, be the gardener’s dog: don’t eating and don’t let others eat.

"MOBILE FIRMS ARE LIABLE IN ANY GARDA PHONE MAST CASES
[by] Martin Wall
Mobile phone companies using masts on Garda [police] stations or other public buildings will have to meet the costs of any compensation claims taken against the State by persons who allege that their health has been damaged by electro-magnetic radiation. The Dail Committee of Public Accounts was told yesterday by chairman of the Office of Public Works Sean Benton that under an agreement with the State the mobile phone companies had to indemnify the Government against any future claims. He said the companies also had to comply with existing health and safety directives and to meet any future measures that may be put in place. There are mobile phone massts on about 120 Garda stations. The Government first entered into an agreement with Esat Digifone (now O2) in 1997. However, last year the Office of Public Works (OPW) put in place a new deal to allow various mobile phone companies to place masts on Garda stations and other public buildings. Socialist Party deputy Joe Higgins said the long-term effect of radiation generated by mobile phone masts was not yet known. He expressed concern that if dangers to health emerged in the future as a result of such masts that not only would public employees have been put at potential risk but also the State could be exposed to largescale liability for damages. Secretary general of the Department of Justice Sean Aylward said that under the agreement with O2, gardai received just over 1,000 mobile phones. He said that the first 450 phones, as well as call and rental charges, were provided free. However, the remainder has to be paid for by the State. The cost of calls and other charges are deducted from the rental payments for the masts due to the OPW from the phone compnay. Mr Aylward said mobile phones were provided to all personnel of superintendent rank and upwards."
IRISH EXAMINER, THURSDAY, 09.02.06
Expert warns Irish mobile phone masts unsafe
By Dan Buckley and Tom Prendeville ONE of the world's leading experts in mobile phone technology has warned that the radiation output from Irish phone masts is at least 100 times too high for safety.
His warning comes as new research reveals that long-term use of mobile phones poses an increased risk of brain cancer.
According to Dr David Aldridge, a scientist who has worked developing microwave technology for the US Government, the international 'safety' limits which Ireland adheres to are out of date and totally flawed.
"What is happening is that the external signals (from mobile phones) are swamping the body's natural internal signals," he said.
This can lead to cancers and a whole range of other serious medical disorders, particularly among children, he said.
"Expose a cell to microwaves from a mast or phone and it interferes with the cell repair process. In the case of young children, the rate of cells dividing in half to form new ones is so fast that you end up with a vast number of what we call mis-repairs."
According to Dr Aldridge, the current international safety standards are over 50 years old and obsolete.
Meanwhile, a new study into the risks associated with using mobile phones has found an increased risk of brain tumours in people who have used them for 10 years or more.
The study, by German researchers, found an increased risk of glioma, an often deadly brain cancer, in people who had used mobile phones for over a decade.
However, a similar study in Britain appears to contradict these findings and concludes that there is no proof that long-term mobile phone use can cause glioma.
Both studies are part of the 13-nation Interphone Study, an effort sanctioned by the World Health Organisation (WHO) to assess possible health risks from the radiation emitted by mobile phones.
The German study, conducted by Joachim Schuz and colleagues at the University of Mainz, compared a group of 749 brain tumour patients with 1,494 similar people who had not used mobile phones and found a doubling of the risk of glioma after 10 years of use.
They said the number of people in the study who had used the phones for 10 years was small and the findings need to be confirmed by other studies.
This same 10-year threshold has previously been reported for acoustic neuroma, a benign tumour of the acoustic nerve, by two Swedish teams.
"This result is very difficult to interpret," said Dr Schuz.
"I can only say that it's still an open question whether there is a tumour risk for more than 10 years of use."
The British researchers found no overall increased risk in people who used mobile phones.
Although it revealed a significantly increased risk for tumours that developed on the same side of the head where patients said they most often held the phone, lead researcher Patricia McKinney, an epidemiologist at the Leeds Institute of Genetics, Health and Therapeutics, said that the finding probably was due to many patients not accurately recalling which ear they had used most.
The Swedish study, conducted by researchers at the Karolinska Institute, found an increased risk for a non-cancerous brain tumour called acoustic neuroma after 10 years of mobile phone use.
Mobile phones: Do's and don'ts
Keep mobile phone conversations short.
Consider using a text message or picture message as an alternative.
Choose a handset with a lower SAR rating, which means it emits less radiation.
Don't hold the phone to your head when you can use a hands-free kit.
Consider using a phone with an external aerial.
Limit the amount of time that children use mobile phones.

Abstract (general) by Dr John Walker CPhys
* Professor Cherry of New Zealand in 2000 made a presentation to the Parliament of Europe on the above subject. During the last few years, experimental data is accumulating at an increasing rate, that verifies his predictions without exception.
* Scientific and Health Truth has also been diverging at an increasing rate from Political and Economic Truth over the last 9 years since ICNIRP (International Committee on Non Ionizing Radiation Protection) made the biggest mistake in scientific history and unconsciously misled the many administrations in the world by choosing guidelines 4.5 million times as high as those chosen by Salzburg (power units). Phones still work in Salzburg.
* Most administrative bodies are weak in science and therefore have no conception of when they have been misled. Since the "he who pays the piper calls the tune" all sub administrations are cautious and unwilling to "rock the boat" or "blow the whistle" especially when high economic yields are concerned.
* The Government's 21 billion pound licence fee from the mobile telephone industry has locked the country into a legalised sustained electromagnetic attack on the population living in the highest field strength areas near a mast, especially in beam patch areas, often ten times the height of the mast away and with a 3 pole mast the patches will be 120 degrees apart. There is a real occurrence of a cancer rate of 3 times normal and 8 years earlier (Naila), and 4 times normal (Netanya) together with the Bamberger study and the Oberfeld/Navarro study which showed an odds ratio of 39 for increased depressive tendencies along with increases of other unspecified illnesses.
* G3 is more penetrative of house walls than GSM. The old radio waves were a nice sinusoidal shape, however G3 waves are very sharp digitally switched to transmit vision signals. "These can swamp the bodies internal signals" and lead to the above data. (Dr David Aldridge)
Recent measurements of melatonin in urine show that microwaves cause an 80% drop in Melatonin which controls our immune system at night. This makes us susceptible to many diseases since our natural defence against cosmic rays is compromised. This applies to all vertebrea.

Peer Review gone rotten: AGNIR’s review of breast cancer and EMFs
On Feb 9, 2006 The independent Advisory Group on Non-Ionising Radiation (AGNIR), under the leadership of Professor Anthony Swerdlow (a senior member of ICNIRP and who enjoys a commanding role in influencing the British cancer charities research into cancer) released its latest viewpoint on breast cancer, melatonin and power frequency EMFs. Using an extremely biased review of the science, Swerdlow and crew were able to discount all the evidence to the contrary to come up with a convenient exoneration for the power industry. Watch the WHO and ICNIRP push this as still another independent expert report representing a scientific consensus of the international scientific community.
A very valuable report for the industy as it will be quoted for years in court and planning cases - and who will dare question the experts?

Power Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, Melatonin and the Risk of Breast Cancer
The independent Advisory Group on Non-Ionising Radiation (AGNIR) today published a report that examines whether electromagnetic fields (EMFs) associated with the supply and use of electricity can influence the risk of breast cancer. Following a thorough review of the published scientific literature, the report concludes that overall the evidence does not support the hypothesis that exposure to EMFs is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. In addition, EMFs do not appear to affect the production or biological action of the hormone melatonin.
