Cell phone use by children is being warned against all around the globe
Cell phone use by children is being warned against all around the globe.
English leaders have warned that children should only use cell phones in emergencies.
The French government has warned its citizens to reduce children's telephone calls to no more than six minutes.
In Japan, it is now illegal to use a cell phone on a train, due to concerns of second hand radiation.
Germany, Belgium, Israel, and India are also advising children limit their use of cell phones.

Electro-sensitivity: A world first in France with scientific proof from comparative encephaloscans
Electro-sensitivity: A world first in France with scientific proof from comparative encephaloscans
Posted by inthesenewtimes on August 31, 2010
To make it simple: we are all born EHS, as the human organism is entirely bio-electromagnetic, since all the exchanges between our cells function thanks to electromagnetism. We lose this condition when we die and the exchanges cease, and our electroencephalogram goes flat. The problem is that most people are completely ignorant of this truth. In other words the condition of being electrosensitive is innate, and the degree of it varies with different people and in different environments.

EHS: A world first in France with scientific proof from comparative encephaloscans
The EHS have a right to live, but in France and in most other countries, due to the pressure from the industry lobbies, they have no recognition and they are not accorded this inalienable right. Their need to survive leaves them no choice, so it is quite legitimate for them to take their future in hand.
Ignorance of the basic facts of electromagnetism is carefully fostered by the lobbies. It is natural electromagnetic energy that is the basis of creationist theories on the origin of life on earth, a theory that is a parallel to the Darwinian theory of evolution.

In other words the condition of being electrosensitive is innate, and the degree of it varies with different people and in different environments.
The main factor that aggravates this condition is the new artificial electromagnetic pollution that has never existed on earth until now, the worst being that of radiation in the HF microwave spectrum from mobile phone communications (similar to those concentrated in microwave ovens).
As for the shorter wavelengths of these artificial electromagnetic frequencies, this pollution is concentrated in nuclear reactors – it is exactly the same but on a different scale, and who knows this? In fact the shorter the wavelength, the more energy is discharged, which is why there are so-called safety areas (in fact danger zones) around phone masts and mobile phones.
Where the shorter wavelengths (eg. GHz) are in use, as in the Hertzian Repeaters relaying mobile signals, there is a strict ban on parking within the radiation beam, whatever the distance from the source, even kilometers away, since the radiation is lethal in a very short space of time.
The interaction of artificial EMFs with the bioelectromagnetic human metabolism provokes pathologies that are described in The Microwave Syndrome [Dr C. Monnet and Prof. le Ruz, with video].
In the scientific literature it is Dr Richard Gauthier who has detailed [scientific dossier] the mechanisms of the interactions in the proteins of the cellular membrane when they are exposed to artificial EMFs from HF microwaves, which trigger a chain reaction affecting calcium levels, activation of enzymes and the creation of stress proteins.
It is the enzymes that trigger the chain reaction, then, if the signal persists, the stress proteins block various processes within the cell, affecting for example the messengers between the brain cells called neuromediators, which consequently alter the activity of the brain.
Scientific world first in the Forêt de Saoû: comparative encephaloscans
Why choose the Forêt de Saoû? Nowadays in France there are very few White Zones with no or very little artificial EM radiation (such as the EHS Refuge Zones). Such places can of course only exist in the wild, where there are no inhabitants or any of the usual practical resources, thus the EHS have very little choice of places to live.
It is a world first which demanded a great deal of courage from Philippe, an EHS who acted as guinea pig and lived there on his own for several months during the particularly harsh winter of 2009-10. His only contact was with the forest wardens present during the day.
The Forêt de Saoû is a listed natural zone without inhabitants, so it is a place where the EHS can live.
This unspoilt area is the site of an experiment which has been ongoing not just for a few weeks, as
one might think from the current media interest in what is happening there, but since January 2010.
The presence of Philippe, “the hermit guinea pig”, in his camper van in the forest did not go unnoticed. His medical condition was tracked by the Association de Recherche Thérapeutique Anti-Cancéreuse (ARTAC), which is an independent group of doctors and researchers based in Paris, who specialize in the biological, therapeutic and clinical study of cancer. This research includes the EHS, and a group headed by Prof Dominique Belpomme is studying their condition with a considerable number of EHS.
An update on their work, État des lieux des recherches de l’ARTAC sur les EMS et l’EHS [Fr], was published on 18 December 2009.
Philippe underwent various medical examinations before his stay in the forest, including an encephaloscan at the Centre d’Exploration de la Fonction Cérébrale run by Dr Ph Lebar in Paris.
This scan gives an image of the arterial irrigation of the two hemispheres of the brain. The results are analysed by comparison with standard variations. In the columns in the diagram, the zones with adequate circulation are indicated in red and orange, and the zones that are not getting enough are marked in yellow and blue.
An encephaloscan is currently the best diagnostic marker of symptoms in the brain of people who
are EHS.
It provides scientific proof of the EHS condition.

Diagram 1 represents the encephaloscan of Philippe EHS before his arrival in the Forêt de Saoû.
It is clear that after living for several years in an average town and being exposed to its artificial
electromagnetic microwave pollution, he is in a weakened state. In this first diagram the
circulation levels in several areas of both hemispheres are seen to be seriously affected.
Diagram 2
CENTRE D’EXPLORATION DE LA FONCTION CÉRÉBRALE PARIS
Diagram 2 represents the encephaloscan of Philippe EHS after living 3 months in the Forêt de
Saoû (an area with very low artificial EM radiation). A spectacular improvement can be seen in
the circulation in the 2 hemispheres of the brain. Visible physical consequence: Philippe was no
longer in a weakened state.
(Extract of the results: the 5th section corresponds to the capsulo-thalamic region of the right
hemisphere, which has gone from an abnormally low rate of circulation to a correct level.)
This scientific experiment provides proof that ought to open the eyes of the health authorities to the urgent need to legislate immediately on a drastic reduction of permitted levels of EM radiation, and on the creation of Refuge Zones for the EHS in every region of every country, along with mapping the Hertzian radiation in every community so that residents can know the level of radiation in each neighbourhood,
In addition, all the electronic information panels posted in urban areas should include along with the date and the temperature, a meter that displays the level of ambient radiation, since this information is crucial for older people, pregnant women and all those in a weakened state of health, or actually ill, who are in the area.
Meanwhile the rare places still untouched by artificial electromagnetic pollution are more than precious, and are the only places where the EHS can go to improve their state of health. In fact for those who have to live as recluses, often in very poor health, they are the only places where they can still survive.
Make a gesture for public health, do what the health authorities should be doing and distribute this document.

India to study impact of mobile towers on birds, bees
Posted by inthesenewtimes on September 1, 2010
This is the emerging multipolar reality coming into play. In the West, media control has been simply awesome, keeping this connection out of popular consciousness, and dealing with the question, if at all, in the infantile manner which has become their hallmark. However, we no longer control India which is now moving to deal with an issue which threatens their food supplies.Thaindian News

New Delhi, Sep 1 (IANS) India will study the harmful impact of mobile phone towers on birds and bees, with the environment ministry constituting a committee that is also tasked with formulating guidelines on their installation.
The 10-member committee has been constituted under the chairmanship of Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) director Asad Rahmani and it will submit its report in six months. The committee will suggest measures to address the problem.
“The expert group will access the level of possible impact of growth of mobile towers in urban, sub-urban and forest areas on the population of birds and bees,” a statement from the ministry said.
The expert group will review all studies in India and abroad on the ill effects of mobile towers in animal, birds and insects.
“The team will also formulate guidelines for regulating the large scale installation of mobile towers in the country,” the statement said.
A recent study by scientists from Punjab University revealed that radiation from mobile towers affect the population and breeding of bees.
If cell phones are behind the bee decline, what are they doing to humans?

For years, scientists have been trying to explain why the bee population has been drastically declining. A new study may hold the answer, CNN reports, and it could have an impact on humans, too. First, the study:
Cryptochrome apparently also plays a role in controlling circadian rhythms. If cell phone and tower radiation disturbs cryptochrome molecules, it could have serious consequences for our circadian rhythms, Goldsworthy wrote in a briefing for an independent, British radiation research group last year. Circadian rhythms follow a roughly 24-hour cycle and play a key role in physically, mentally and behaviorally regulating our bodies. Mess with your circadian rhythms and you screw with, among other things, your ability to be well-rested and the associated health benefits. Goldsworthy argues that the link between phone radiation and cryptochrome could then explain the sometimes-found link between cell phones and cancer:

For years, scientists have been trying to explain why the bee population has been drastically declining. A new study may hold the answer, CNN reports, and it could have an impact on humans, too. First, the study:
In a study at Panjab University in Chandigarh, northern India, researchers fitted cell phones to a hive and powered them up for two fifteen-minute periods each day.Andrew Goldsworthy, a biologist from Imperial College, London, told CNN that the reason may have to do with radiation from cell phones and cell towers disturbing the molecules of the chemical cryptochrome, which bees and other animals use for navigation. The “other animals” part there is key: it includes humans.
After three months, they found the bees stopped producing honey, egg production by the queen bee halved, and the size of the hive dramatically reduced.
Cryptochrome apparently also plays a role in controlling circadian rhythms. If cell phone and tower radiation disturbs cryptochrome molecules, it could have serious consequences for our circadian rhythms, Goldsworthy wrote in a briefing for an independent, British radiation research group last year. Circadian rhythms follow a roughly 24-hour cycle and play a key role in physically, mentally and behaviorally regulating our bodies. Mess with your circadian rhythms and you screw with, among other things, your ability to be well-rested and the associated health benefits. Goldsworthy argues that the link between phone radiation and cryptochrome could then explain the sometimes-found link between cell phones and cancer:
[A]ny weakening of the amplitude of these rhythms means that at no time will any process controlled by them ever function at maximum power. In particular, the immune system may never be able to summon up the overwhelming power that is sometimes needed to overcome pathogens or to destroy developing cancer cells before they get out of control.Of course, the ostensible link between cell phones and cancer is itself up for debate, but if the evidence starts supporting that connection, then cryptochrome might be at the heart of it all.

Wi-Fi: a warning signal
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/panorama/6674675.stm
英國現在受到一場 Wi-Fi 革命的吸引，辦公室、居家、與教室都無線網路
化 -- 不過對於這種科技的顧慮，認為它會帶來健康上的風險。
政府堅持 Wi-Fi 很安全，不過在 Panorama（BBC 的節目）的一次調查中卻
顯示射頻輻射等級，在某些學校當中比行動電話天線桿所測得的主射束強度
強度要高出三倍。
這裡並沒有 Wi-Fi 設備對於健康影響的研究，不過在行動電話與其天線桿
卻有數千篇。Wi-Fi 的輻射發散類似行動電話的天線桿。這是走向無線必然
會產生的副產品。
過去 18 個月，在英國有另外 200 萬人開始使用 Wi-Fi。整座城市變成所
謂的無線熱點。
預警方式
在 2000 年，William Stewart 爵士，現在是 Health Protection Agency
署長，引領政府探究行動電話天線桿之安全性與健康。他覺得科學上的研究
足以在天線桿靠近學校時，實行一種預警方式。
在同一年，政府賣出的 3G 執照獲利達 225 億英鎊。
William 爵士回想道："我們建議，因為我們對於兒童比較敏感... 天線桿
不應該放在兒童必然會暴露的區域，例如操場等。"
但是 Wi-Fi 呢？這項技術與行動電話天線桿類似，而且用在 70% 的中學與
50% 的小學當中。
Panorama 參觀 Norwich 一間學校，那裡有超過 1000 位學童，比較來自於
一般行動電話天線桿與教室中 Wi-Fi 的輻射等級。
由程式取得的讀數顯示，在教室當中所使用的 Wi-Fi 訊號強度比來自於行
動電話天線桿的要高出 3 倍。
這項發現別有意義，因為兒童的頭骨仍很薄，且仍在發育當中，而試驗已證
實，他們會比成人吸收更多輻射。
安全底線
這讀數遠低於政府的安全底線 -- 約有 600 倍之多 -- 不過某些科學家質
疑我們安全底線的基準很可能根本就是錯的。
Panorama 訪談一些質疑安全底線的科學家，並擔憂在這樣的輻射之下對健
康所可能產生的影響。
"如果你看一下文獻，你會看見各種不同的影響，例如：染色體損害，你會
有集中能力方面的衝擊與短期記憶的衰退，還有癌症關連上的數量增加，"
瑞典 Karolinska 研究所的 Olle Johansson 教授表示。
另一位科學家，來自於 Salzburg 的 Gerd Oberfeld 博士正呼籲 Wi-Fi 應
該從校園當中移除。
他說："如果你深入資料當中，你可以看見相當相當清晰的圖像 -- 它就像
是個拼圖，每樣東西都會湊在一起，從 DNA 斷裂到動物研究，並升高到流
行病學的證據；那顯示出諸如症候加重與罹患癌症比率的增加。"
來自於 William Stewart 爵士對於政府的明確忠告指出，行動電話天線的
最強射束不應該落於學校地面的任何一處，除非學校與父母都同意。
然而，在教室當中測得的 Wi-Fi 等級要來得更高 -- 比天線桿要高出三倍
。
Panorama 隨機選了 50 所學校 -- 並發現政府對於任何可能的健康影響，
都未曾對任何一所學校提出警告。
Philip Parkin，教師專業協會的總秘書表示："我認為學校與家長應該會對
此擔憂..."
"我正要求學校嚴肅考慮，他們現在是否應安裝 Wi-Fi 網路，這應當會讓他
們在進行之前再三考慮。"
"我認為預警措施看起來沒用，因為它推出太快了..."
"那有點像克努特大帝（King Canute，1016 年統一丹麥與英格蘭）。我們
無法阻止這波浪潮，而我很擔憂學校被告知，在校園中出現這些網路，對於
健康會有嚴重的衝擊。對學校來說，這將會成為嚴重事件，你得關閉它們。
"
低功率
在華盛頓州立大學，Henry Lai 教授，在爭議兩方都受到敬重的生物學家表
示，他已經在類似程度的 Wi-Fi 輻射中發現對於健康的影響。
他估計，在過去三十年中所完成的二到三千項研究成果，成五五波 -- 一半
有發現影響，另一半則沒有。
但 Health Protection Agency 已經說 Wi-Fi 裝置的功率很低 -- 比行動
電話低多了。
政府表示這裡沒有任何風險，並受到 WHO 支持；其表達方式十分強健："低
程度、長期暴露，沒有負面健康影響。"
WHO 那邊負責回應的科學家是 Mike Repacholi 博士，他率領這個健康組織
的研究計畫進入射頻輻射。
他也是 International Committee on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP，國際非游離輻射防護委員會) 的創辦人。
他表示 "沒有負面健康影響" 是基於證據的衡量。
為了讓一個健康影響能被確立，這表示它必定使用相當好的研究技術，重複
進行多次實驗室實驗。對於以發表的任何發現必須要在得到結論之前，放進
去攪和，他說。
"那稱之為證據衡量法 -- 而且證據的權重在這裡不是有影響，就是不會有
影響，這是你能夠分辨，這裡是否真的有負面健康影響的唯一方法，" 他說
。

Wi-Fi: a warning signal, Panorama, Monday, 8.30pm, BBC1.
美国城市70%以上的树木都表现出了一些异常，如节点增多，树皮退化等。
最近，全球各报刊杂志、电视新闻和技术论坛等媒体上的标题频频出现一个荷兰人发现的惊人统计数据——70%的城市树木都存在着病症，这一数字比几年前增长了近10%。紧随该统计的第二份研究报告显示，那些暴露在Wi-Fi传输环境中的树木，其树叶遭受到了严重的损害。这项报告描绘了城市里的枫树和橡树逐渐凋萎，从接触到电磁辐射直至死亡的惊人画面。
Wi-Fi技术可能被误解以及所误解的信息在全球各地的快速传播显示了耸人听闻的消息能够多么快地被散播和曲解，特别是那些添加了技术和恐惧成分的。
来自美国林业局北部研究站的树木生理学家Kevin T. Smit表示，关于不知名因素导致植物健康损坏的话题比现有的城市树木工作，如土壤的压实研究等更加引人关注，Wi-Fi的辐射量相当之低，并且很难被测量到，目前并没有直接证据表明其对树木造成了严重的损害。
而早先的这些报道都开始于荷兰西部一个约有70,000户居民，叫做Alphen aan den Rijn的城市。该市绿色环境项目的负责人Niek Vant Wout，5年前就观察到该市36,000棵树中大多数都出现了树皮球状突起现象，这些突起通常是树木受到损伤或者应力压迫的标志。为此，Vant Wout先生于2007年对当地的树木作了一个详细调查，发现其中11%的树木都存在不同程度的突起现象。而今年，这一数字上升到了30%。而从总体上来看，该市70%以上的树木都表现出了一些异常，如节点增多，树皮退化等。
惊悉这些现象对该市绿色环境的潜在影响以及后续治愈或更换工作需要花费巨额钱款，Vant Wout先生在市政基金的帮助下，招募科学家们研究无线信号可能对这些树木产生的损害。
荷兰瓦赫宁根大学的植物细胞生物学副教授AndréVan Lammeren为此设计了一个称作“基本实验”的方案。他在两个小柜中分别放置了25棵小白蜡树，并在其中一个小柜中放置了6个无线接入点，就是类似于家用路由器的装置。三个月后，那些最接近路由器的树木表现出了明显的树叶损伤，但损害具体有多大，Van Lammeren博士没有说清楚，因为他的研究团队并没有精确地测量到损伤程度。
未能精确测量仅仅是Van Lammeren博士自己对小箱实验不足之处的描述之一。理想的情况下，如果将每棵树都放置在不同的箱子中，那么它们在箱子中位置的变化就不会影响到整个实验的结果。另外，那些树叶出现损伤的树木可能并不都是因为电磁辐射的原因造成。毕竟三个月在树木的生命期中只是一段很短的时间。并且如何将这小箱子中的实验与开放环境中的树木相互推导也存在不确定性。
Van Lammeren博士强调，对于该实验的任何结论都需要小心细致地推敲，而事实上，目前他们并未得出任何准确的结论。他甚至提到，希望这项研究从未被公开。而当他的这一研究成果通过荷兰媒体向外发表时，他所在的大学也提醒他不要如此草率地作出结论。
其它部分研究人员也对调查结果持怀疑态度。来自美国威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的森林生态学家David Mladenoff表示，任何一项高剂量的实验，都会对树木造成影响，但凭Van Lammeren博士的这一实验就把城市树木的损伤归结于Wi-Fi技术显然还有待商榷。
当然，这也并不意味着无线信号就不会损害树木。几位研究人员都表示，他们已经发现了这种影响，尽管他们的诸多研究还没有经过同行的审查。Alphen aan den Rijn市也拟在明年2月份召开该专题研讨会。
护林人员指出，有迹象表明，美国市区的树木也正在消失，虽然这可能是由于开垦、新的疾病或者其它原因。下月即将公布的一份美国林业局报告显示，在课题所研究的20个美国城市中，其中19个城市2005年至2009年间树木覆盖率明显减少。护林官David Nowak说：“我们都知道一切正在变化之中，但没有人知道确切的原因。”

但是，统计学家、城市护林官甚至研究人员都说，把市区树木的病情单独归咎于Wi-Fi技术还为时过早。荷兰人发布的这份报告只是基于一个小城市中的600棵树作为研究对象，而病树数量的增多还可能是选择了不正确的对比方法。
同时，这份关于Wi-Fi技术对树木的损害研究还仅是初步的结果，它没有详细地描写其中原因，并且仅被同行初步审阅，并发表在一个专业学术期刊上。Wi-Fi技术可能被误解以及所误解的信息在全球各地的快速传播显示了耸人听闻的消息能够多么快地被散播和曲解，特别是那些添加了技术和恐惧成分的。
