I found an extremely interesting and important article in the April issue of Common Ground Magazine!
Denial is not an option when it comes to ones’ health!
Below is a short excerpt of the interview with Dr. George Carlo:

Invisible Hazards in the Wireless Age

A conversation with Dr. George Carlo
by Joseph Roberts

Common Ground: Your experience with radio wave health risks goes back a long time. How did you first become involved?

Dr. Carlo: This goes back to 1993 in the US when questions were raised about mobile phones being a possible cause of brain cancer. The US Congress held open hearings and it became clear that cell phones had been exempted from premarket testing. Normally, a consumer device that emits radiation, such as a mobile phone or cell phone, would go through a process of pre-marketing testing that would include a series of in vitro and in vivo studies to evaluate predictions of risk to the population that would use them. Cell phones, however, were exempted from that testing based on pressure from the mobile phone industry in 1984. That input was based on science that was present in the public domain at the time that indicated that the only health effect that could follow from microwave exposure had to do with the heating of biological tissue. And because cell phones operated at very, very low power, they would not be able to heat tissue. They were, therefore, excluded from the onerous process of pre-market testing. That exemption was known as the “low power exclusion, and in retrospect, that one political mistake has put millions of people at risk of serious disease.

Following the public hearing, Congress took serious issue with both the Food and Drug Administration, which was the agency of record responsible for these radiation emitting devices, as well as with the mobile phone industry itself. Congress put both on the spot and the mobile phone industry agreed to put up what became $28.5 million dollars in research funding as long as the FDA did not ban mobile phones at the time. I was the person given the responsibility of overseeing and conducting that research. Between 1993 and 1999, with more than 200 doctors and scientists from around the world participating, and the Harvard School of Public Health reviewing more than 56 studies, we ran what still remains the largest program ever conducted in the world on the dangers of mobile telephony and wireless communications in general.

CG: When you went public with your findings in 1999, it created great controversy. Your findings about cell phones increasing brain cancer are still dismissed by the industry and government regulatory agencies. How is this possible?

Dr. Carlo: This is not based on mere differences of opinion. Our findings in 1999 were the first to indicate increases in brain cancer among cell phone users and other studies have since corroborated those findings. In the peer-reviewed published literature today, more than 300 statistically significant findings show excess risk of brain cancer and other tumours among people who use mobile phones. We have mechanistic studies that show how the cancer increase happens following exposure. That government agencies and the industry can deny the existence of those findings is astonishing.

Sometimes it’s hard to know where the human mind can take us. I found a couple of unusual stories about trance-like states.

Mass trance afflicts Indonesian women, factory workers

By Sunanda Creagh

Sun Feb 24, 8:24 PM ET

Indonesian media reported a group trance among workers at Bentoel’s cigarette factory in Malang, Java, in March 2006. Hidajat interviewed 30 of the affected women for her research.

“They told me that when it happened, they were sitting in a very long hall, working together in rows, rolling the cigarettes by hand,” she said.

“They were working in silence. That’s one of the requirements of a trance to happen — it’s usually quiet and when they are engaged in monotonous activity.”

Suddenly, one of the workers started screaming and her body went stiff. The one next to her started crying and went stiff too. Others tried to help but soon they started too in a kind of domino effect.

A local Muslim leader was summoned, but his prayers had no effect. Eventually, the exhausted women fell asleep and when they awoke they remembered nothing.

Over 50 girls succumb to hysteria

April 21, 2008

By SADIBOU MARONE

DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — More than 50 school children underwent hospital treatment Friday after developing what educators called mass hysteria, marked by fainting and screaming.

“It’s the first time that I have seen such a phenomenon,” Sourang said.

“The phenomenon started in one of the classrooms,” Aidara said. “Three students, all girls, fell down. The same phenomenon was repeated 30 minutes later during recess.”
