Meta se nibdew nużaw moħħna? 3 April 3 2009 in Australia: "Wake Up Call" VIDEO 14 minutes). "Wake Up Call" This is largely a profile of John Bryant,who blames his brain tumour on electromagnetic radiation. Excerpt from transcript--- His neurosurgeon, Charles Teo, says: Charles Teo "If the question is do I believe that mobile phones are harmful ? I sayI'm incredibly worried, concerned, depressed at the number of kids I'm seeing coming in with b rain tumors. Malignant brain tumors.Just in the last three or four weeks I've seen nearly half a dozen kids with tumours which really should have beenbenign and they've all been nasty, very nas ty malignant brain tumors.We’re doing something terribly wrong."

T RIBUNE : THE EXPRESS WITH THE International Herald Tribune “You can’t feel it, you can’t see it, but electro-smog can kill you... On Saturday, Dr Tasnim Ahsan, head of the department of medicine at Jinnah hospital in Karachi asserted electromagnetic fields can cause cancer, memory loss, headaches, fatigue and sleeping disorders in adults and children… Evidence confirms children are more susceptible to the effects of EMF since their rate of cellular activity is high. RF travels through a child’s brain faster than in adults. Different epidemiological studies show that ELF causes leukemia in children. Patients recovering from leukemia have a poorer survival rate if their ELF exposure is between 1 to 2 mG. A study on pregnant women’s exposure to electromagnetic fields showed that higher exposure put them at a risk of miscarriage in the first ten weeks of conceiving.” Samia Malik Published: May 13, 2012 “You can’t feel it, you can’t see it, but electro-smog can kill you...

27. DIPRESSJONI F’ MALTA 27 “About 33,000 people in Malta suffer from depression, yet less than a third of them seek the help that would improve their lives drastically.

If you reckon on a conservative estimate of 5-10 % of those are suffering because of electromagnetic radiation you may have thousands and thousands of electrosensitive persons needlessly HIT by mobile-phone base stations!

29. 29 SO HOW GREEN IS GREEN? Levels of emission in publicly accessible areas in the vicinity of Base-stations should be at least a thousand times lower than the limits stipulated in the safety guidelines published by the International Commission for Non-Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The nonsense of being content with ICNIRP compliance is that these guidelines protect against what is not actually a hazard - namely getting overheated. However, ICNIRP guidelines neglect the most discriminating feature of all, namely the aliveness of …

30. ‘Aliveness of those exposed’ 30 When (and only when) alive, does the body support a number of electrical bio-rhythms characterised by different frequencies… the most familiar being those associated with the activity of the brain and the heart. These rhythms are intimately connected with biological functionality, some being involved in maintaining the delicate balance of biochemicals essential to health, while others play a role in the transmission of biological information essential to maintaining well-being.

31. 31 It is a gross scandal that, in Malta, in the absence of adequate testing, mobile telecommunication technology has been allowed to be rolled out in an essentially unregulated way that results in the involuntary exposure of the majority of the population - a situation that does not obtain in the case of a new drug or foodstuff, which, by contrast, are subject to quite rigorous testing before being licensed.

32. 32 In the case of exposure to electromagnetic radiation, the 'establishment' view is that if the signals do not heat you, they cannot harm you. In attempts to strengthen this position, every effort is made by GO, VODAPHONE, MELITA and even our Government to rubbish findings that suggest otherwise, whilst results arguing “there are no adverse effects generated from these antennae.” are uncritically accepted. What, in the establishment view, is considered absence of absolute proof of harm is wrongly, but conveniently, taken as proof of absence of harm! Motives? *^*^*^$$$<><> EXPLETIVES DELETED.

A similar conclusion was drawn from these two studies for acoustic neuroma, although the case numbers were substantially smaller than for glioma. Additionally, a study from Japan found evidence of an increased risk for acoustic neuroma associated with ipsilateral mobile phone use."

Near the close of the eight-day meeting, there were six holdouts, but by the end only one dissenting voice remained in the room. ( The group agreed that the person's name should remain secret.)
