Cell Phone Radiation and Cell Towers. Shouldnt We Learn from the Past Part 2

admin — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 19:06:44 +0000

www.emfnews.org www.emfnews.org The sad truth is that until we have more epidemiologic evidence–whether from disease clusters like the ones at La Quinta and on Cape Cod or from long-term analyses of the health of the world’s 4-billion-and-growing cell phone users–we won’t know definitively whether electrical pollution is harming us. And even then, we are unlikely to know why or how. “In this country, our research dollars are spent on finding ways to treat disease, not on what causes it–which is to say, how we can prevent it,” says Marino. “And that’s a tragedy.” But that’s also another story. The Opposing View: “No need for regulation” In 1993, the National Institutes of health and Department of Energy began an extensive review of all studies on the possible health effects of electromagnetic fields. six years later they completed their project, called the Electric and Magnetic Fields research and public Information Dissemination (EMF RAPID) program, and reported their findings to Congress: scientific evidence of human health risk from EMF exposure is “weak,” they concluded. While acknowledging a link between both childhood and adult leukemias and emfs, the researchers’ laboratory studies with cells and animals failed to identify a mechanism– that is, how emfs might cause cancer. (read the EMF RAPID report at prevention.com/links) To longtime EMF investigators such as David Carpenter, MD, the NIH dismissal of EMF hazards was patently absurd then and even more so now …
