Taking your money, and your health

God, how many times am I going to see this rubbish? Every time it needs a healthy dose of truth that should be made known before even more people hurt themselves, I suppose:<br /><br />The human body and brain run on subtle electrical signals. It is folly to make the assumption that holding a device which emits thousands, perhaps millions or more, times that energy in electromagnetic, information carrying, pulsed microwave radiation, is "safe". <br /><br />How many times have you heard the "official" story - "the radiation is non ionizing - it doesn't heat your tissue, so it is harmless" - wa-hey, talk all you want, right? B.S.<br /><br />This "theory" ignores what I have outlined above.<br /><br />The following have been attributed to damage caused by the radiation from wireless devices:<br /> <br />Brain cancer<br />Throat cancer<br />Eye cancer<br />Cancers of the mouth<br />Sleep disorders<br />Fatigue<br />Difficulty focusing <br />Behavioral disorders<br />Autism spectrum disorder<br />Leukemia<br />Fibromyalgia<br />Chronic Fatigue Syndrome<br />Memory problems<br />Internal bleeding<br />Temporary blackouts<br />Restless leg syndrome<br />Tingling<br />Tinnitus (Ringing in the ears)<br />Blood-brain barrier leakage<br />Parkinson's and other neurological disorders <br />Headaches<br />Depression<br />Diabetes<br />Reproductive abnormalities<br />Genetic damage, inherited by future generations<br />...Etc.<br /><br />This is a time bomb. Nearly all "safe" studies are industry funded, sponsored, or somehow related. They want your money. Do all of these "reassurances" sound unnervingly like what was said about tobacco, DDT, asbestos, lead, and all such "indispensable" innovations? Let's see... convenience, or LIFE? Choose wisely.<br /><br /><a class="jive-link-external" href="http://www.safewireless.org/" target="_newWindow">http://www.safewireless.org/</a><br /><a class="jive-link-external" href="http://www.bioinitiative.org/" target="_newWindow">http://www.bioinitiative.org/</a><br /><a class="jive-link-external" href="http://www.mastsanity.org/" target="_newWindow">http://www.mastsanity.org/</a><br /><a class="jive-link-external" href="http://www.microwavenews.com/" target="_newWindow">http://www.microwavenews.com/</a><br /><a class="jive-link-external" href="http://www.powerwatch.org.uk/" target="_newWindow">http://www.powerwatch.org.uk/</a>
