Rates of autism, a disabling neurodevelopmental disorder, have increased nearly 60-fold since the late 1970s, with the most significant increases occurring in the past decade.
The cause of autism is unknown, although theories include such potential causes as:
Genetic predisposition
Inability to clear heavy metals
Digestive Disorders
(NaturalNews) In September 2007, the EU’s European Environment Agency (EEA) and the country of Germany both issued warnings to their citizens advising them to avoid the use of WiFi and cell phones until further long term studies are conducted, citing fears that the ubiquitous use of wireless technology has the potential to become the next public health disaster on the level of tobacco smoking, asbestos, and lead in automobile gas (as reported by The BioInitiative Working Group). Israel’s Knesset recently banned the placement of cellular antennas on residential buildings. According to Canadian Underwriter, Lloyd’s of London is already “preparing for the next big liability action for personal injury damages based on the use of cell phone technology.”
We are unwittingly living in an increasing noisy world, full of powerful electromagnetic radiation(EMR) fields, generated by mobile and cordless phones, wireless technology, personal digital assistants (PDAs), computers, power lines, mobile phone base stations and other transmitting masts, and microwave ovens all of which release a constant bombardment of EMR.
People who used mobile phones for two hours a day in the 1980s and early 1990s have a “significantly raised” risk of developing a brain tumor, a Swedish scientist has found.
The head of a prominent cancer research institute issued an unprecedented warning to his faculty and staff Wednesday: Limit cell phone use because of the possible risk of cancer.
The warning from Dr. Ronald B. Herberman, director of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, is contrary to numerous studies that don’t find a link between cancer and cell phone use, and a public lack of worry by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Talking on a cell phone excites the brain, Italian researchers find, but they don’t know yet whether this is good or bad.
When in use, cell phones emit an electromagnetic field. Different parts of the brain communicate via electrical signals. And people tend to press cell phones to their heads when making calls.
Could this affect their brains?
