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....

Cell phone industry testifies they "never said cell phones were safe"

"Put Your Phone Down": Words, Music, Art

Here are 50 important words from Motorola Scientist & Researcher Robert C. Kane:
Know...that after that cellular phone user leaves the scene he leaves behind, within the brain of each and every nearby person, the residual effects and damage. These are effects and damage known to the scientific community but not acknowledged by the industry placing their products into the commercial stream.

 

Words mean something.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
A song is worth a thousand pictures.

Yale study shows fetal impacts of cell phones, hyper-active young with poor memories, different behavior than control

If you care about fetal health sign a new petition to fire the FCC from its responsibility for setting safe radiofrequency radiation limits. FCC has a clear conflict of interest: it works to promote technology first and foremost. Public health is an after-thought.

Sign the petition NOW to release the rogue FCC from the crucial RF exposure standards function, and enlist the EPA instead!

And BTW, think what WiFi pulses and RF transmitting utility "smart" meter bursts are doing to fetuses 24/7. It does not bode well.

 

Motorola Insider's Book Exposes the Truth: Cellular Telephone Russian Roulette: a Historical and Scientific Perspective ...............by Robert C. Kane

Some have said this iconoclastic 2001 book has been buried, or even frantically bought up by the industry after it came out. Now you can only get rare copies for over $100, or check one out from a few libraries. But Michael Heiming of MESURES IN SITU, Mesures de champs électromagnétiques posted a copy of this important awareness-blasting writing online after following legal precedent to get permission. THIS IS A MUST READ and one to share widely. Thank you, Michael, for making sure this information gets out!

The following blurb comes from the site (which includes a well-known skeptic's illogical criticisms of this book in attempts to hide its information):

Robert C. Kane had been working as top developer inside Motorola for decades, developing mobile phones. He died from brain cancer a few years ago, not without leaving this planet with a message, which you can find in his book.

Robert C. Kane has been actively employed in the telecommunications industry for more than thirty years. He holds a BSEE from the Midwest College of Engineering, an MSEE with an emphasis in electromagnetics from the Illinois Institute of Technology and also at the Illinois Institute of Technology, has completed the full course of study and research leading to the Ph.D. in electrical engineering with emphasis in the fields of electromagnetics and solid-state physics.

As a research scientist and product design engineer, he has been directly involved with programs and projects for the design and development of portable cell phones, radio frequency mobile radios, microwave telecommunications systems, video display systems, and biological effects research.

Robert C. Kane--listen to this man April 4, 2003

By Karen Stern

This is a kamikaze book, and would, if it got the attention it deserved, eviscerate the cell phone industry. If I were Robert C. Kane, I'd hire a bodyguard. The men behind the megabucks being raked in by the wireless industry can't be happy about a book like this. In lucid, readable, decisive prose, Kane, an industry insider, systematically dismantles the wireless industry's pretense of product safety. There is no pussyfooting around here about how there "may" be health concerns, as the February issue of Consumer Reports puts it. Kane starts right in on page one by stating, "Talking on a cellular phone can be likened to holding a microwave oven to one's head." Check out the last two chapters, "Public Deception I" and "Public Deception II", and the quotes from Carl Sagan and Ayn Rand. Powerful stuff. And then throw away your cell phone.

Book journalists need to read August 17, 2007

By M. Glaser

In Cellular Telephone Russian Roulette, author Robert Kane, a former top Motorola engineer, traces the history of cell phone development (in which he was involved) and analyzes the cell phone radiation bioeffects research base from 1950 to 1996.

Despite industry's claim to safety, Kane's report suggests that there was much more information available indicating safety concerns than the industry has ever acknowledged.

The work includes a review of:

· The foundations of radiofrequency (RF) radiation research (starting with radar).

· The discoveries of bioeffects from RF exposure as early as the 1970's, and the discovery of "hot spots" in the brains of mobile phone users.

· The industry's influence on "safe" exposure guidelines in order to meet its own product needs.

· The ways research design can be manipulated to bias the outcome of lab studies.

· The red-herring requirement by industry that research must identify a single biological causation mechanism for adverse health effects from RF exposure before science can say there is proven harm.

·The emergence of a PR campaign to mask the risks of cell phone radiation to the user.

It needs a good index and some section headings, but this book is jam-packed with information, much of which you won't find anywhere else. It will be of interest to those who have already gained some familiarity with the RF radiation health issue and are not put off by some of the technical terms used (megahertz, S.A.R., etc.). Serious readers may begin to smell more-than-feint traces of tobacco.

Another good book to dig up is Nicholas Steneck's 1984 science-and-values overview of "The Microwave Debate" which shows there has been some concern about RF radiation's ability to affect biology for quite some time.

Cell phone use can affect moral judgement center in brain: a buried study says

You can no longer find any references to cell phone use impact on moral judgement regarding this MIT study online.  Here is another link to the study. But I recall seeing cell phone use pondered when I first found it a couple years ago. Now, you can't find the study using cell phone and moral judgement as search terms. So, I am posting the link to help others find it.

This is an important study because the implications could be staggering to society if moral judgement can be affected by these devices. Cell phone users' attitudes towards fellow human beings could be hardened by this biological effect. Folks, this is "brave new world" kind of stuff. Take note and pass it on!

History of Microwave Mania: Melbourne AU, 2005, World "Health" Organization

Tracing the history of the current insufficient radiofrequency exposure standards to protect public health brought me to this eyewitness account from the World Health Organization's Regional Workshop called Radio frequency fields: Health effects & policy options for protection on November 17-18 2005 in Melbourne, AU. The participants' cavalier attitude towards the health effects were chilling, though I knew it probably had to go something like this - in some obscure meeting of powerful people, who felt it their mission and right to plan world infrastructure with no concern about how it could hurt some of the little people. Or lots of the little people. For decades to come.

Two years later, U.S. journalist Amy Worthington researched and documented early struggles of serious health effects from proximity to cell phone masts in The Radiation Poisoning of America. She details the devastating results of the 1996 Telecommunications Act's gag order on citizens. They could never again use health impacts or concerns pertaining to cell phone masts to legally challenge their placement. Worthington's shattering account of everyday people's sufferings at at the hand of wireless technology has become a classic, though 2007 was not so long ago. Today, you see masts next to schools, on fire stations and in the middle of county fairgrounds, etc. Even if people were to wake up to what is happening, they could not bring up the health issue as a factor to fight it.

I will share more events and details in the history of microwave mania as I find them.

• Brain Cancer
• Electromagnetic Fields

The Reuters article by Ben Hirschler touted a new study that found no link with brain cancer and cell phone use, despite the World Health Organization's new classification of cell phone use and other wireless radiofrequency sources of radiation as potential cancer agents.

Turns out the guy who led the study and his wife own shares in telecom companies world wide, creating a blatant conflict of interest. Anthony Swerdlow of Britain's Institute of Cancer Research, IARC, "said it should become much clearer over the next few years whether or not there was any plausible link," since his study did not back up the WHO's call for caution.

In plain words, the industry stockholder conducted a study and said he found no link of health harm from the devices he was invested in. So, let the great experiment on the people continue until all studies show harm, even those conducted by industry shills like him. Amazing.

Man Who Invented First @#&*$$$!@(!%$! Cell Phone - FROM California

How ironic that the man who build the first cell phone hails from California, where the high profile struggle against PG&E wireless utility meters (another source of this kind of radiation) is happening. Martin Cooper working for Motorola in 1973 created the first cellular phone. Built the blasted thing in three months.

Cooper promises the cell phone revolution is only beginning: "There are all kinds of things coming that will surprise you," he told the reporter at Fox 5 News. So, folks, raise your hand if you want to be "surprised" by more cellular technology in your lives. Come on, let's see those hands.

Sunspots: Harrison Barritt, a warning to share

Every time I find another voice singing in the darkness the warning about wireless technology, I feel more hope and not so alone. Harrison Barritt, a high school English teacher and part time adjunct, works in the Mid Hudson Valley of upstate New York and lives with his wife and two children in Gardiner, NY. Here is his well-written and researched warning that reveals the truth about the impact of cell towers and phones on our lives. It is a clear, succinct introduction to the issue for people who never heard of it - share it with everyone!

Can electromagnetic exposure from cell phones and other devices both cure AND cause alzheimer's???

People jumping up and down for joy about a study that showed exposure to electromagnetic (such as cell phone energy) can prevent the build-up of plaque or protein that inhibits cellular communication in Alzheimer's disease need to sit down and listen. I am not a scientist, but I do try to apply logic to information (a librarian's habit) and here is my little theory:

Electromagnetic energy keeps the build-up of plaque/protein because it keeps the cells continuously activated (stressed?)at low levels so the bad stuff cannot settle.

By the same token, exposure could cause or accelerate brain dullness or Alzheimer's in some people because the same action would mobilize stored toxins/metals/chemicals in the body and brain causing free radical and oxidative damage. Electromagnetic exposure has been shown to cause a breach of the blood-brain barrier, which would allow these metals/toxins access to the brain.

So, the result depends upon the physiology, toxicity and heredity of the individual being exposed to the these emissions. Prevention for some is poison for others within range of exposure. That is why society should practice prudence and precaution in deploying more wireless devices and services.

Cell phones, wifi and health links

I came across this 2010 post with many good links regarding cell phones and wifi, including the 2008 University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute 2008 announcement, which made news as it warned about cell phone use with a list of 10 precautions to follow. The more information that can be compiled, the better.

please TURN OFF your electronic devices - or we may CRASH

Will the general public hear and heed this message that their electronic devices may interfere with their flight's electrical system, and could cause them to crash? Or will it be treated like talking or texting on the phone while driving, no big deal to a lot of consumers? It only takes one person playing with an iPhone on an older plane to cause a disaster.

Those fun, convenient little devices may also interefere with other life-or-death equipment. There is emerging proof that people with medical implants, anything metal, may have problems from wireless interference.

I do not like the idea of limiting people's use of legal devices because I value freedom. Yet, the truth is our lives are linked. Wireless signals are pervasive and invasive. And the safety and health impact of using these new devices everywhere could be devastating.

Since the government is not addressing current safety or regulatory issues for the massive amount of new transmitting equipment, we may have to ask for the mercy of our fellow human beings for more prudent use of their devices. So, we must beg, not only on airplanes, but anywhere these devices may cause harm: please turn OFF your electronic devices - or we may CRASH.
