Cell Phone Radiation from Cell phones dangerous or not?

2 studies in the 80's and 90's that showed the dangers of wireless technology that were suppressed.

Guy Examination

In 1984, Dr. William Arthur Guy, at the University of Washington in Seattle, found an increase in malignant endocrine gland tumors, and in benign adrenal gland tumors in test animals. This was a five-year, $5-million dollar study of long-term, low-level exposures that was funded by the U.S. Air Force. The study also indicated immune system malfunctions in that nearly all of the initial test animals died from infections. The studies had to begin again from scratch.

Lai Singh Investigation

In 1994, Drs. Henry Lai and N.P. Singh, at the University of Washington, Seattle, found both single and double-strand DNA breaks in test animals exposed to cellular and PCS-frequency pulsed microwaves. Double-strand DNA breaks are thought not to repair themselves and can lead to mutations. Dr. Lai just announced at an FDA workshop on this subject that in recent follow-ups, they noted that such breaks were blocked by the hormone melatonin. Melatonin, in several studies has been found to be suppressed in power line frequency exposures. Often, wireless technology is "modulated" with such ELF frequencies. There are complex synergistic relationships with many of the non-ionizing bands that fall well outside the range of thermal effects

Previously, advocates of cell-phone safety have maintained that the phones cannot cause brain damage because the microwave radiation that they emit is at a level too low to heat the body's cells. But in the new study, changes in biological processes began at an energy level even lower than that used by a typical phone, even without heating occurring.

"Safety guidelines assume [that] health effects from mobiles can only occur when significant heating of body tissue occurs. [But] this study shows biological changes in response to low-level mobile phone radiation -- something that could potentially have implications for health," said Graham Philips of the British nonprofit Powerwatch.

Researchers exposed both human and rat cells to low-level radiation at a frequency of 875 megahertz, a similar frequency to that used by most cellular phones. The intensity of the radiation was far lower than that used by most phones, however.

Even so, within 10 minutes the scientists observed changes within the cells. A chemical switch regulating cell division was switched on -- a switch that has been linked to a variety of cancers.

There was no direct evidence of cancer inducement in the current study. However, the researchers point out that the changes occurring at the low radiation level were non-thermal in nature, something previously said to be impossible. Thus, the study challenges the entire basis on which cell phones' presumption of safety has been based.

"The significance lies in showing cells do react to cell-phone radiation in a non-thermal way," said co-author Rony Seger. "We used radiation power levels that were around one tenth of those produced by a normal mobile. The changes we observed were clearly not caused by heating."

"This helps explain why mobile phone radiation has been linked to increases in cancer tumors," said consumer health advocate Mike Adams. "Until now, skeptics have said the radiation wasn't intense enough to cause cells to overheat, but now we're learning there can be significant cellular changes taking place at far lower levels of exposure."
