The growing problem of the rise in
EMR
Check out www.avaaz.org
I posted the following on their website. (I think if we can an
organization like this to back our cause it would definitely boost
the coverage this problem is getting - with One million plus members.
I am just wondering how many own cell phones and how many would be
willing to give them up. Hmm! It is a question that begs to be
answered.) Feel free to go ahead and post your own comments.

I think we really need to see Avaaz address the growing problem of
the rise in EMR (Electromagnetic Radiation). In the past 25 years
there has been a dramatic increase in a number of disease states like
Autism, ADHD, Brain Tumors, Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction
Syndrome (CFIDS), Diabetes, Heart Disease, Stroke, Breast Cancer,
Allergies, Asthma, and so on. Forty million Americans now take sleep
medication for insomnia (up 60% since 2000) while 60% suffer from
sleep disturbances. Brain tumors are now the leading cause of death
in children under 16 in the USA, surpassing leukemia in 2002. A
recent British newspaper put the rate of Autism at one in forty,
while American estimates are running at one in 100. This is compared
to one in 10,000 in the 1970s. A recent survey by the CDC put CFIDS
at one in forty. The only thing that can logically account for all
these problems is the drastic increase in Electromagnetic Radiation
(EMR) mainly from high frequency microwave radiation for use of cell
phones, WiFi, WiMax, and DECT (digitally enhanced cordless
telecommunications) phones. on 2002, German medical doctors - the
Interdisciplinary Society of Environmental Medicine - issued concern
about wireless technology (cell phones, DECT, etc.) in the Freiburger
Appeal (now with 40,000 plus signatories) after finding a
cause-and-effect relationship between "a dramatic rise in severe
and chronic diseases" (e.g. behavioral disorders, ADD, blood
pressure disorders, heart attacks and strokes, brain-degenerative
diseases, & cancers like leukemia and brain tumors) with
increased exposure to EMR. on 2005, the World Health Organization
(WHO) officially recognized electro-sensitivity as a bona-fide
disorder. oThe Vienna Doctors Chamber (Wiener Arztekammer), in 2005 -
after the REFLEX Study clearly showed genotoxic effects - created
posters (posted in hospital waiting rooms) warning of dangers and
listing rules for use. on Aug. 2007, a report - issued by an
international group of renowned scientists, researchers, doctors, and
public health experts - entitled the BioInitiative
(www.bioinitiative.org )
warns "Wireless technologies that rely on microwave radiation to
send emails and voice communication are thousands of times stronger
than levels reported to cause some health impacts. Prolonged exposure
to radiofrequency and microwave radiation from cell phones, cordless
phones, cell towers, WI-FI and other wireless technologies have been
linked to physical symptoms including headache, fatigue,
sleeplessness, dizziness, changes in brainwave activity, and
impairment of concentration and memory." on Sept. 2007, the
German government warned its citizenry not to use mobile phones (only
in emergencies) and WiFi. In Italy, children are now banned from
bringing cell phones to schools. on Dec. 2007, an Australian
Democrats commissioned discussion paper found microwave radiation
from cell phone towers to very likely be behind the drastic rise in
disease sates like cancer, diabetes, asthma, allergies and
Alzheimer's disease, etc.
