new CDC study on growing ADHD blind to Cell Phone Use etiology, shown in the study!

Yahoo health news summarized the new study showing growing cases of ADHD in America's youth, but you had to really dig to find the actual study, which was done by the CDC.

The findings are troubling, but more troubling is the fact that an important causal factor seems to be overlooked, or perhaps intentionally muted.

See the whole document here.

Especially see what is found on page 9 of the study in the Discussion below. It is amazing to witness the blind spot of those who are supposed to care about protecting the public health.

(why are levels rising?)

Other factors, such as increased confidence to treat ADHD among clinicians and

increased exposure to etiologic factors (e.g., environmental contaminants) may also play a role. The magnitude of increases documented within these cross-sectional data warrant future efforts to more fully understand the factors affecting ADHD diagnosis. (these contaminants are not named)

The epidemiological profile for ADHD diagnosis and treatment continues to evolve. Based on parent-reported indicators of health care provider–diagnosed ADHD diagnosis and treatment,more than 1 in 10 school-aged children (11%) had received an ADHD diagnosis by a health care provider by 2011, representing more than 6.4 million children nationally. Nearly 1 in 5nhigh school boys and 1 in 11 high school girls had been diagnosed with ADHD. Of those with a history of ADHD, 83% had current ADHD inn2011 (8.8% nationwide), and 69% of these children and adolescents (6.1% nationwide) were taking medication for ADHD. These estimates are all significantly higher than comparable 2007 estimates...

The findings in this report are subject to several limitations. First, as noted earlier, the ADHD indicators used here did not assess ADHD symptoms but, rather, relied on parent report of diagnosis by a health care provider, which may introduce recall bias. The parent reported indicators have not been clinically validated; however, a recent analysis indicated that parent-reported survey data produced similar estimates as those from insurance claims data, providing evidence of convergent validity for parent-reported ADHD diagnosis by a health care provider.33 Second, the cell phone sample inclusion could have affected the 2011 estimates; analyses of restricted-use data suggest that children living in cell phone–only households in 2011 were more likely to have current ADHD. than children living in landline phone households (10.0% vs. 8.4%); therefore, non-coverage of cell phone–only households in 2007 may have underestimated prevalence.

 

Hellooo? Anybody there? Note the potential cell phone exposure connection? Why not see it? Why not say it? Do we not WANT to end this horrible epidemic?

24 hours of cell phone use = 1600 chest x-rays RADIATION EFFECTS, visual proof

Packed with biological, medical and international information 6 years ago this article, "Cell phones as bad as x-rays," is still a groundbreaking article.

Other excerpts:

The U.S. government allowed wireless phones to be put on the market in the 1980s with absolutely no safety testing.

For each minute a child presses a microwave phone to his head, he may suffer radiation damage equivalent to approximately 1.1 chest X-rays.

A whopping average of 39.75 percent of cells taken from mobile phone users showed DNA damage. The blood of one 24-year-old male revealed 63 percent micronucleated cells. He had used a cell phone for 1-2 hours per day for two years, the norm for millions of kids.
The Indian study confirms that the human body, overwhelmed with the continual and brutal assault of wireless radiation, is unable to perform normal cellular repair. Other studies confirm that microwave radiation, which causes a critical need for continual cellular repair, simultaneously shuts down cellular repair mechanisms.(24) The body’s exhausted immune and repair systems eventually become too decimated to do much more than survive poorly.

So the latest studies reveal what no one wants to hear: Kids who endlessly cell-phone socialize, even sleep with perpetually transmitting wireless devices (to keep intermittent conversations on line), are doing immense damage to their tissues, especially the brain and setting up a storm of problems which they will reap in later life. The profiteers or corporate America don’t care. They want their money NOW; to Hell with the future of these kids.

Immune System Dysfunction.

A child’s body, kept in chronic allergic stress by wireless phone radiation, may end up with an exhausted immune system which no longer responds effectively. European experts prognosticate that many people heavily exposed to wireless radiation may eventually suffer the manifestations of electro-hypersensitivity (EHS).(34) EHS is a devastating allergic, auto-immune-like condition in which over-irradiated persons become severely sensitive to both chemical and electromagnetic pollution. Similar to fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, EHS symptoms can be so disabling that victims are often forced to isolate themselves from even the smallest electromagnetic fields.

And what about environmental microwave transmitters?

Millions of American kids, struggling with physical disabilities and mental manias, are heavily irradiated not only with Wi-toys, but also by ubiquitous environmental transmitters needed to feed those toys. Nearly 200,000 cell tower and roof top transmitters continuously saturate American cities, playgrounds and passing vehicles with DNA-damaging waves equivalent to ionizing radiation. Living in transmitter-zapped neighborhoods where microwaves pass easily into homes, millions of infants and small kids have no respite from daily, deadly radiation assault....
