Cell Phone Radiation Boosts Cancer Rates in Animals; $25 Million NTP Study Finds Brain Tumors

The U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) is expected to issue a public announcement that cell phone radiation presents a cancer risk for humans. The move comes soon after its recently completed study showed statistically significant increases in cancer among rats that had been exposed to GSM or CDMA signals for two-years.

Discussions are currently underway among federal agencies on how to inform the public about the new findings. NTP senior managers believe that these results should be released as soon as possible because just about everyone is exposed to wireless radiation all the time and therefore everyone is potentially at risk.

The new results contradict the conventional wisdom, advanced by doctors, biologists, physicists, epidemiologists, engineers, journalists and government officials, among other pundits, that such effects are impossible. This view is based, in part, on the lack of an established mechanism for RF radiation from cell phones to induce cancer. For instance, earlier this week (May 22), a medical doctor in Michigan wrote an opinion piece for the Wall Street Journal stating that, “There is no known mechanism by which mobile phones might cause brain tumors.” He went on to argue that there is no need to warn the public about health risks.

What about cordless phones at home?

now if cell phones and microwaves were thought to contribute to man-made global warming, we’d have quite a spectacle.

I used to work at a ridiculously large manufacturer of cell phones in the 90s. I know it to be a fact that early on that they took cell phones and strapped them to pigs heads and had them wear them 24/7 (because pig biology is more like human biology). The company did not want to get sued so they did the testing themselves. The testing showed nothing. The testing showed that the radiation could not penetrate the tissue even beyond 1/2 inch.

I was told this by a guy who observed some of the testing.

Proof that California was the first to have cell phones.

As an RF engineer who has to prepare human RF exposure reports for my company's products, and have been doing this kind of RF testing for 20 years, I don't believe this.

This is yet another way for the elites to remove another means for the population to communicate among itself in self-defense against the tyranny of the elites.
