Thanks for all the info. I notice that a lot of men now here in Japan are losing their hair. I always thought that these cell phones have something to do with it although, this may sound silly at the moment, but when you fry potatoes to make chips in oil, there is no doubt now that high temperature oil cooking "will" cause cancer. What I'm saying here is, years ago, about 25 years ago, potato chips on the shelf took up little room, now them shelves look like the stores in the USA and cancer is also on the rise here.

Great post! S&F
In looking at that data and studies, there is certainly something amiss as it pertains to exposure limits and the harmful effects.
I honestly believe it's a slow killer...kind of like cigarettes. Anyone who smokes or has smoked can attest to how hard it is to quit.
I would say the same for these gadgets that have pretty much taken over our lives. There's really no going back unfortunately; the cellphone makers and signal carriers are the new tobacco companies... promoting a safe alternative to actual human interaction... offering a digital, virtual world unto the masses, and it's absolutely genius how addicted we have become to their "service".
It will only be a matter of time before we really see the in your face effects of this technology. People will literally have to be dying from this to actually even raise an eyebrow about it. We're just too reliant on these gadgets..

A shame hardly anybody's taking this seriously.
Wireless tech is looking like mankind's greatest threat.

It is.
When I was in elementary school back in the late 50's I remember that because of radiation, men and women will start to become bald. Sadly, I I mention above, the Japanese male here seems to be about 50 less hair, and we are talking of high kids now. I don't live in Hokaido, but I do believe in northern Hokaido, the loss of hair is less in the male. Why male, don't know.
"A short-term exposure (15 and 30 minutes) to RFR (900-MHz) from a mobile phone caused a significant increase in DNA single-strand breaks in human hair root cells located around the ear which is used for the phone calls."
From these results, we suggest that 1,763 MHz RF exposure stimulates hair growth in vitro through the induction of IGF-1 in hDPCs.
Review of literature showed that DNA breakage [4-6] and generation of ROS [7-9] play a role in slowing down of hair growth and hair loss from exposure to mobile radiation [4].

Your fear is irrational its not like you will bestanding in front of a cell phone tower. They are a minimum of 5 meters tall aimed at the horizon. Meaning your exposure would be through scattering.The power levels are relatively low, the antennas are mounted high above ground level, and the signals are transmitted intermittently, rather than constantly.you cant base readings at any given location based on distance and power output because most of it will be scatteringeffects. Then about 60 percent wouldnt be strong enough to penetrate your skin much less clothes walls etc. Meaning that charts based off strength of signal is useless. Direct readings at any location would be needed. And in most homes your highest source of EMF will be power lines especially in europe

Ok, so i took a look at the "620 studies" link because it sounded like an attempt to shock people with numbers whilst relying on them not bothering to check the studies out.
First study says absolutely nothing about harm from exposure.
Second study literally says "this does not indicate need for alarm" in the abstract.
I gave up after that because it quickly became clear that this was a Gish Gallop.

we don't need this! i like tech but not at the expense of health and even animals i mean do you know what will happen to plants and the planet if we lose just the bees! god help us
