Canadian
Study Finds Cell Phone Use Increases Risk For Brain Cancer
Governments
have allowed this technology to pervade our lives saying it
did not have proof it could harm us. We now have evidence
from the latest Canadian Interphone study data that found a
statistically significant doubling of risk for glioma among
cell phone users with only 558 lifetime hours of use.
How
long will it take a teenager to amass 558 hours of cell
phone use?

Canada – Policy Recommendations On Cell Phones, Wireless Radiation & Health
Cellphone Ban at Victoria Middle
School pushes the wrong buttons
It is a first for the Greater Victoria School
District. In a letter to parents, principal Topher Macintosh
said despite efforts to control their use, “the detrimental
impact of cellphones on our school is clear and
overwhelming.” “Many students have tremendous difficulty
managing their use of cellphones, and because of this,
teachers are finding phones a serious impediment to
instruction and learning.” But efforts will be made to
satisfy the concerns of parents who oppose the ban,
Macintosh said.
Dear
Mr. Macintosh,
It
takes leadership to challenge what is popular and address the
growing problem of cell phone addiction in our schools. It’s clear the
constant use of cell phones is interfering with our children’s
ability to interact and develop healthy relationships in the
real world. This
addiction is robbing our children of the opportunity to build life skills that include
critical thinking, communication, cooperation, and the ability
to focus.
Besides
the negative impact this addiction has on learning, parents,
teachers and students are unaware of the
known health risks from the unregulated exposure to RF
radiation emitting from these wireless devices. Your decision to ban the
use of Cell Phones during school hours will make a huge impact
on the reduction of radiation exposure our children are
experiencing in our classrooms.
Soon
other schools will follow your lead to provide a safe and
healthy environment for our children to learn in.
Thank
you!

Questions over whether wi-fi is
safe for our kids
“Most people trust official advice and do not
question it but in Scotland the public and our
decision-makers have not been accurately informed about the
possible harmful effects of wireless signals.“Children have
the right to a safe environment and I think this means
adapting technology in schools to wired-only connections and
restricting mobile devices.”
Canada – Policy Recommendations On
Cell Phones, Wireless Radiation & Health
- Limit the length of cell phone calls
- Replace cell phone calls with text, use
“hands-free” devices
- Encourage children under the age of 18 to
limit their cell phone usage.

SIMPLE SOLUTIONS FOR HARD-WIRING A
CLASSROOM and WIRELESS DEVICES to SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE
RADIOFREQUENCY RADIATION HAZARDS
More and more schools are implementing a 'No cell
phone' policy during school hours due to distractions that
negatively impact learning. However, much of this problem
could be resolved with the removal of WiFi and the return to
hard-wired Internet which is faster, cheaper, more reliable
and more secure than wireless networks.
Unlike
WiFi, hard-wired Internet
gives teachers more control as to when the Internet is
accessed in the classroom and allows oversight to ensure
the content is appropriate for learning. Hard wired
Internet allows oversight that benefits our children while
also significantly reducing their daily exposure to RFR.
Peer reviewed science overwhelmingly suggests cumulative
Radio Frequency Radiation is a health risk, particularly
for developing children. Hard-wired Internet reduces RFR
exposure making it the safest, healthiest choice for our
children. http://octowired.com/
Typical Classroom Wiring Cost: US pricing
$250 for five 8-port Gigbabit Switches
$125 for OctoWired Flexible Conduit System
$ 25 for Ethernet cable and connectors
$100 for two hours of labor to install
$500 total per classroom
Ever wonder why people are so addicted to their wireless devices?

Greece: Athens Medical Association
Recommends Reducing
Electromagnetic Wireless Radiation To Protect Public Health
On
April 1st the Athens
Medical Association (AMA) held a Scientific Conference
on “Non-Ionizing

Medical Association
Building, Athens, Greece. Scientific lectures were
followed by a
discussion, then the Athens Medical Association decision to
issue 16
recommendations to reduce human exposure to wireless

ECERI, which is THE EUROPEAN
CANCER AND ENVIRONMENT RESEARCH
INSTITUTE
In March 2017, an international delegation of
ECERI scientists who are experts on the subject of health
effects from
non-thermal levels of EMF (wireless radiation) met with the
WHO . They were
Tarmo Koppel (EE), Dominique Belpomme (F), Ernesto Burgio
(I), Christine
Campagnac (F), David Carpenter (US), Lennart Hardell (SE),
and Igor Belyaev
(SKA). This newsletter covered the meeting and includes
several recent
scientific publications by ECERI scientists.
The International EMF Scientist
Appeal calls upon the United
Nations, the WHO, UNEP and the UN Member States to:
Address the emerging public health crisis
related to cell phones, wireless devices, wireless utility
meters and wireless
infrastructure in neighborhoods; and
Urge that the United Nations Environmental
Programme (UNEP) initiate an assessment of alternatives to
current exposure
standards and practices that could substantially lower human
exposures to
non-ionizing radiation.
The Doctor Who Stood Up to
Monsanto & Declared Agent Orange
Carcinogenic Warns Us on Wireless
Dr.
Lennart Hardell did research on Agent Orange in the 1970's
and determined it to
be carcinogenic and toxic. His research was discounted by
officials who were
later found to be on the payroll of Monsanto. This excerpt
is from a long video
of a conference of Next Up ress Conference 5th Paris Appeal
Congress :A Focus
on ElectroHyperSensitivity (EHS) and Multiple Chemical
Sensitivity (MCS)
by Martin L.
Pall, Professor Emeritus
of Biochemistry and Basic Medical Sciences. I have listed 11
different health effects of
such non-thermal exposures, seven of which have been found to
be produced by
Wi-Fi exposure. When one looks at these health impacts it is
clear that
non-thermal EMF exposures attack: our health; our brain
function; the integrity
of our genomes; and our ability to produce healthy
offspring.5. Neither Wi-Fi
apparatuses nor other devices putting out such EMFs are ever
tested
biologically for safety not even one of them, not even once,
before they are
put out to irradiate the unsuspecting public. Such biological
safety testing is
the only way to say anything about their biological impacts.
All
assurances of safety that you
will see in industry propaganda are based on a theory (of
only thermal effects)
and that theory has been shown to be false and should have
discarded, in my
opinion, over 40 years ago.
SUMMARY: 19
studies have
each shown health effects of Wi-Fi, most of which have also
been shown to occur
in response to low intensity exposures to other types of
microwave frequency
EMFs. These are likely to have massive health effects by
producing male infertility
(female infertility has not been studied in response to
Wi-Fi), oxidative
stress (involved in dozens of human diseases), cellular DNA
damage (possibly
leading to both cancer and mutations in future generations),
life threatening
cardiac effects, cellular apoptosis and also intracellular
calcium overload
(with both of these possibly leading to neurodegenerative
diseases), various
neuropsychiatric changes and many hormonal changes. The high
level
sensitivity of stem cells to such EMFs may put children,
particularly young
children at special risk of Wi-Fi exposure. It follows that
placing Wi-Fi in
schools may well be especially damaging.
Wi-Fi
as a Very Substantial
Threat to Human Health, by Dr Martin Pall (.pdf file via
Mobilfunk/Omega Group,
further links below)
"I
have been asked to
comment on the health and safety of Wi-Fi. I am happy to do
so. Because this is
a long document, I want to first outline what is in this
document so you can
see how it all fits together:
1.
FCC and
other safety guidelines are based on the assumption that
microwave frequency
electromagnetic fields (EMFs) can only produce thermal
(heating) effects. In
other words they claim that there cannot be any nonthermal
effect on our
bodies.
2.
However
there have been many thousands of studies in the scientific
literature,
published from the 1950’s to the present, with each of these
showing the
existence of one of more non-thermal EMF effects.
3.
There is a
consensus among independent scientist, as shown by the 2015
Appeal to the
United Nations signed by 220 independent research active
scientist experts in
this area, that there are non-thermal health effects produced
by these EMFs and
that the current safety guidelines are inadequate because they
do not take
these non-thermal effects into consideration.
4.
I have
listed 11 different health effects of such non-thermal
exposures, seven of
which have been found to be produced by Wi-Fi exposure. When
one looks at these
health impacts it is clear that non-thermal EMF exposures
attack: our health; our
brain function; the integrity of our genomes; and our ability
to produce
healthy offspring.
5.
Neither
Wi-Fi apparatuses nor other devices putting out such EMFs
are ever tested
biologically for safety – not even one of them, not even
once, before they are put
out to irradiate the unsuspecting public. Such
biological safety testing is the
only way to say anything about their biological impacts.
6.
I have found
what appears to be the main mechanism of action by which low
intensity EMFs
produce these non-thermal effects. This mechanism which is
described below, is
that these EMFs activate what are called voltage-gated calcium
channels. Most
if not all of these effects produced (see #4 above) can be
understood as being
caused by the excessive calcium levels in the cell produced
though this
activation
7.
In Table 1,
I present 19 studies of health-related impacts of Wi-Fi
exposure, each of which
have found one or more health related impacts of Wi-Fi. 7 of
these health
effects have been replicated more than once in these Wi-Fi
studies; these 7
have also been found to occur repeatedly following other
low-intensity EMF
exposures and should, therefore be considered established
effect of Wi Fi.
Industry propaganda claims that Wi-Fi has no health effects
should be rejected
out of hand.
8.
There are
some supposed Wi-Fi studies that have been claimed by industry
to have found no
effects. These studies are each tiny studies that have no
statistical power to
make any such a claim and they are also studies where the
effects of simulated
Wi-Fi were studied not real Wi-Fi.
9.
There are
four different types of studies, each of which provide
evidence for cumulative
effects of non-thermal EMF exposures. While none of these
looked at Wi-Fi, they
suggest that it is likely that biological impact of Wi-Fi will
get much worse
over time and therefore the short term studies described in #7
may only
describe a small part of the long term effects.
10. Wi-Fi and other
microwave frequency EMFs may
be particularly active in producing biological damage in young
people. It
follows from this that placing Wi-Fi in schools may be
particularly
problematic..."
