Epidemioloical studies re 1,000 children with Leukemia and magnetic field exposures in bedroom "conclusive"
Childhood Leukemia....more evidence "CONCLUSIVE..."

YALE DOCTORS -- TESTIMONY RE CHILDHOOD LEUKEMIA AND POWERLINES....2005, 36 pages....
THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT INFO -- opinions expressed that info re childhood Leukemia is CONCLUSIVE and this was before the new release of the Japanese epidemioloical studies re 1,000 children with Leukemia and magnetic field exposures in bedroom as being "conclusive...."
The Yale doctors refer to information out of California which is also highly significant. All of this combined with many other studies including Dr. Sam Milham's very important epidemiological work and more make it obvious that government and industry -- including WHO's Repacholi, do not care one bit about immeasurable suffering of innocent children and their families not only in regard to Leukemia but also to every single health problem there is from poor sleep to cancer in children as well as adults!!!!
NOW, where is the media!!!???!!! Take care - Joanne

Abstract
Residential power-frequency magnetic fields (MFs) were labeled as a possible human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer panel. In response to great public concern, the World Health Organization urged that further epidemiologic studies be conducted in high-exposure areas such as Japan. We conducted a population-based case-control study, which covered areas inhabited by 54% of Japanese children. We analyzed 312 case children (0-15 years old) newly diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or acute myelocytic leukemia (AML) in 1999-2001 (2.3 years) and 603 controls matched for gender, age and residential area. Weekly mean MF level was determined for the child's bedroom. MF measurements in each set of a case and controls were carried out as closely in time as possible to control for seasonal variation. We evaluated the association using conditional logistic regression models. The odds ratios for children whose bedrooms had MF levels of 0.4 T or higher compared with the reference category (MF levels below 0.1 T) was 2.6 (95% CI = 0.76-8.6) for AML + ALL and 4.7 (1.15-19.0) for ALL only. Controlling for some possible confounding factors did not alter the results appreciably. Even an analysis in which selection bias was maximized did not fully explain the association. Most of the leukemia cases in the highest exposure category had MF levels far above 0.4 T. Our results provided additional evidence that high MF exposure was associated with a higher risk of childhood leukemia, particularly of ALL. © 2006 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
