Cellular phones &
Cancer
The fact: Microwaves (cellular phones) cause DNA damage.
How cellular phones influence human body and how cancer (brain
tumor) begins.
1.) What are microwaves?
Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic energy, like light
waves or radio waves, and occupy a part of the electromagnetic
spectrum of power, or energy. Microwaves are very short waves
of electromagnetic energy that travel at the speed of light
(186,282 miles per second).

In our modern technological age, microwaves are used to relay
long distance telephone signals, television programs, and computer
information across the earth or to a satellite in space. But the
microwave is most familiar to us as an energy source for cooking
food. In simpler terms, a microwave oven decays and changes the
molecular structure of the food by the process of radiation.
Frequencies from 1-30 GHz are usually called "microwave".

A microwave oven uses microwaves to heat food. Microwaves are radio
waves. In the case of microwave ovens, the commonly used radio wave
frequency is roughly 2,500 megahertz (2.5 gigahertz). Radio waves
in this frequency range have an interesting property: they are absorbed
by water, fats and sugars. When they are absorbed they are converted
directly into atomic motion - heat. Microwaves in this frequency
range have another interesting property: they are not absorbed by
most plastics, glass or ceramics. Metal reflects microwaves, which
is why metal pans do not work well in a microwave oven.
Many cellular phones have two signal strengths: 0.6 watts and
5 watts (for comparison, most CB radios transmit at 4 watts). The
base station is also transmitting at low power. Microwaves ovens
have 500 watts to 1.1k watts.
Below is a comparison of radiation of cellular phones and microwave
ovens:

It may seem that mobile phones cause negligible radiation in comparison
to microwave ovens but a simple calculation will show you the opposite.
If you talk on the cellular phone just one hour a day the whole
radiation is as follows:
10.000 watts radiation of cellular phone (ten times more powerfull
than microwaves ovens) is as if you would put your head in a microwaves
oven.You can imagine what would happen to you - you would burn like
a sausage.
Cell phone can do biological damage through
heating effects.
This causes: headaches, earaches, blurring of vision, short-term
memory loss, numbing, tingling, and burning sensations, bad
sleep. |

Well know fact is that if you talk on cellular phone more than
20 min. your brain temperature raises for up to 2 degrees.Look at
the chart below:

From the work of Dr. Om Gandhi, a computer-image comparison of
the heads of adults and children ( all adjusted to the same scale
), showing theat radiation penetrates younger skulls far more deeply
than those of adults.
2.) What are the scientific facts:
Dr Henry Lai and Dr N. P. Singh tested in labs that radiation
changed brain cell membranes in the rats and the effects are so
severe that it could affect humans, too.

Research by other scientists indicates that prolonged use of cellular
phones may cause hot-spots to develop inside the brain, causing
damage which could lead to Alzheimer’s disease or cancer.
Recent research has shown that GSM pulse-modulated radiation can
cause various physiological effects, such as alteration of the calcium
balance in the nerve tissue of rats and also inhibition of cell
growth in the human amniotic epithelium. Changes in the EEG pattern
have also been observed.These subclinical effects do not always
have to lead to disease but do call for alertness. It is assumed
that GSM has no mutagenic characteristics (investigated in yeast
cells) but can further the development of tumors (in rats).
Single and double strand DNA breaks in brain cells increased after
exposure to microwaves. Exposure to both continuous wave and pulsed
microwaves produced DNA damage. Double strand breaks, if not repaired,
are known to lead to cell death.

Researchers at the Royal Adelaide Hospital in Australia discovered
earlier this year that the electromagnetic field that surrounds
electrical appliances can be positively linked to development of
cancer in mice (or negatively linked, if you look at it the mouse’s
point of view).
Exposure to emissions from (cellular phones) mobile phones (both
continuous wave and pulsed microwave RF) can disable a blood-brain-barrier
and allow proteins and toxins to leak into the brain. This can increase
the chances of developing diseases such as Alzheimer's, multiple
sclerosis, and Parkinson's.
RF (radio frec.) similar to digital mobile telephones reduced
REM sleep and altered the EEG (brain wave) signal during REM sleep.
REM sleep is essential for information processing in the brain for
learning and memory functions.
In 1991, there was a lawsuit in Oklahoma concerning the hospital
use of a microwave oven to warm blood needed in a transfusion. The
case involved a hip surgery patient, Norma Levitt, who died from
a simple blood transfusion. It seems the nurse had warmed the blood
in a microwave oven. This tragedy makes it very apparent that there's
much more to "heating" with microwaves than we've been
led to believe. Blood for transfusions is routinely warmed, but
not in microwave ovens. In the case of Mrs. Levitt, the microwaving
altered the blood and it killed her
3.)Cellular phones are unsafe so how does brain tumor begin?
A diagnosis of cancer can be devastating. And there is good reason
for this fear -- Cancer is the second leading cause of death in
the United States next to heart disease, and will claim more than
half a million lives this year. What we think of as "Cancer"
is actually a group of more than one hundred separate diseases.
These diseases are all characterized by an abnormal and unregulated
growth of cells. This growth destroys surrounding body tissues and
may spread to other parts of the body in a process that is known
as metastasis. You have probably heard of all kind of different
types of cancer,but we focus on BRAIN CANCER (brain tumor):
Cancer can develop anywhere in the body, and at any age. Cancer
is usually caused by genetic damage that happens inside an individual
cell.
When cells divide at an accelerated rate, they often begin to
form a mass of tissue called a tumor. The tumor is fed by nutrients
that diffuse through neighboring blood vessels and can also grow
by forming a substance called tumor angiogenesis (vessel forming)
factor. This factor stimulates the growth of an independent blood
supply to the tumor. Tumors can cause destruction in three common
ways:-Tumors put pressure on nearby tissues and/or organs.
- Tumors invade tissues and organs directly (direct extension),
often damaging or disabling them in the process.
-Tumors make invaded tissues and/or organs susceptible to infection.
- Tumors can also release substances that destroy tissues in close
proximity to them.
4.)What Causes Cancer (brain tumor)?
Mutations in tumor suppressor genes are another common cause of
cancer. As you might expect, a tumor suppressor gene is supposed
to prevent tumors. But when these genes are damaged, they can allow
cancer to develop instead of preventing it. One of these genes,
p53, normally prevents cells with abnormal DNA from surviving. When
p53 is defective, these cells with abnormal DNA survive and can
multiply, increasing the probability of developing cancer (brain
tumor).
Simple image below shows how the brain tumor starts:

We showed you what happens on human body, let's continue and see
how cellular phone influences human bioenergy.
