John Campbell interviews Dr. George Carlo about EMF and Cell Phone Dangers
- Campbell Live, primetime documentary talk show on TV3 NZ, aired 2006 (more info below)
Esteemed Epidemiologist Dr. Carlo, the cell phone industry's former chief scientist--an ultimate "insider"--warns that cell phones and the wireless Internet may pose a severe hazard to human health, and discusses the cell phone industry's marketing towards children and the epidemic projections from cell phone use.
George Carlo and Martin Schram are set to become information-age Ralph Naders. In their book "Cell Phones" (2001) they ask a question that ought to concern America's 103 million mobile phone users, as well as those who merely come within earshot of these popular devices: Is the wireless future a threat to public health?
"Visit any public building, college classroom, courthouse, or commuter train, and look around: You'll see people using not just wireless phones but also wireless laptop computers and miniature palm tops," write Carlo and Schram. "What you won't see are the microwaves that are criss-crossing a confined space where a number of people who are not even using these instruments are bombarded by these waves."
Carlo, an epidemiologist who once oversaw a multimillion-dollar research project on health for the cellular industry, believes the news is not good: there may be a link between cell phone use and brain tumors. The research is not conclusive en masse, but Carlo and Schram think it's disturbing enough to warrant government action. Needless to say, the industry that once backed Carlo's work now considers him persona non grata.
Even the most skeptical may want to take a few of the simple safety precautions the authors recommend in a concluding chapter, such as wearing a headset or earpiece when using a cell phone, in order to keep a distance from the radiation-emitting antennae. One look at the x-ray photos reproduced in the book, which show how radiation easily penetrates skulls, will give even the most impervious observer second thoughts. One thing is probably certain: This book is a harbinger of litigation. If Carlo and Schram are correct about their concerns, the cellular industry--as unbelievable as it sounds--may go the way of Big Tobacco.

Brain Cancer up 21% in the Last Decade in Australia
- An Interview with Renowned Neurosurgeon Charlie Teo
Studies show that brain tumors have replaced leukemia as the number one life-threatening disease for children in Australia, Europe and the UK. Brain tumors are the number 2 cause of death in children in the US.
Dr Charlie Teo — a pre-eminent neurosurgeon is at the cutting edge — literally — of a 21 per cent increase in children's brain tumours. He's curious about the effect mobile phones and Electro Magnetic Radiation [EMR] may be having on these statistics, and has issued a warning to parents to be aware...
So cautious is Dr Teo, the subject of his 12-year-old daughter having a mobile phone in their family, he confesses, is a sore point.
"The argument for her having a mobile phone was there are some benefits of it and that is in emergency situations, but she has promised me — she is a very sensible girl — she will use a loudspeaker facility all the time," he says.
Dr Teo has every right to be nervous; it is his personal belief that there may be an association between EMR and the development of brain cancer.
And while he is not seeking to be alarmist, he does want people to be more aware, especially with children.
It's a belief backed up by Senator Lyn Allison, who spent a year listening to the scientists to find out what the risks are. She discovered there is very good reason to worry.
"We're all a bit awash now in radio frequency and radio waves generally and we are not altogether sure what effect that has on us,' she says.
Senator Allison says that the fact that brain tumour is now the number one life-threatening disease for children — above leukaemia — is consistent with studies in Europe and the UK.
"[These studies show] there has been a 40 per cent across-the-board increase in the number of brain tumours in the past 20 years," she explains, "now that 20 years has coincided with the use of mobile phone and many other radio frequencies..."
And the thickness of a person's skull, according to scientific studies read by Senator Allison, can also distinguish levels of vulnerability.
"Scientists say that the thickness of the skull in children makes a difference, it is quite thin compared with adults and there is more brain fluid — which means that the radiofrequencies can travel through the brain more easily," she says.
Dr Teo offers more specific evidence of patients whose tumours correspond with their use of mobile phones.
"When patients come in with a brain cancer, I often say to them, "your cancer was on the right side of the brain, it is in the area just above your ear, can you tell me if you feel that you have had more exposure than most people to mobile phones," and I am surprised that most people say, "yes I have used my phone continuously for the last seven years and it is always stuck to my ear on this side..." well that is where the cancer is.
Canberra parents Geoff and Denise McConnell have had their own personal experience of these statistics. They lost their seven-year-old daughter Kessia to a brain tumour.
"I wouldn't move in next to a telecom tower or mobile phone tower and certainly if there were heavy duty electrical wires I would be very uncomfortable," says Geoff.
A new study suggest cell use could lead to cancer. Study exposed human and rat cells to low level radioation. Frequency used in study is similar to one in cell phones. Low levels of radiation from handsets interfere with cells. Cell division encourages the growth of tumors.

We recommend that you take the time to watch this HIGHLY SIGNIFICANT film. MANY THANKS to James Russell and his crew for a fantastic effort to create awareness about an extremely urgent health and ecological issue.
