Its a scandal that WiFI is being put into schools. This will result in the same intensity inside the class as if there were a phone tower right outside the school. &amp;nbsp;www.timesonline.co.uk/.../0,,2-2461748.html&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There are 1000's of pieces of research dating back to the 2nd World war showing adverse effects at the exposure levels we are all now subjected to. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ICNIRP guidelines are only intended to protect against short term heat shocks and burns and do not protect against any other adverse effcts, &amp;nbsp;www.icnirp.de/.../emfgdl.pdf&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are reviews of the research some of which you can read &amp;nbsp; www.hese-project.org/.../ecologsum.php, &amp;nbsp; www.iegmp.org.uk/.../text.htm , &amp;nbsp; www.bioinitiative.org/.../index.htm &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are German doctors signing petitions to their government to halt the technology as they have seen an increase in sickness in their patients as a result of exposure. &amp;nbsp; omega.twoday.net/.../838705 &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;also &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.icems.eu/"&gt;http://www.icems.eu/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are 2 research studies around cell towers showing a tripling of cancer risk after 5 years in the main beam (350m) (this depends on height of the tower), &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;(www.tetrawatch.net/.../naila.pdf), &amp;nbsp;www.powerwatch.org.uk/.../20050207_israel.pdf &amp;nbsp; also &amp;nbsp;www.timesonline.co.uk/.../article1687491.ece&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The government receives $billions p.a. in tax revenue and relies on industry to tell it this technology 'is safe'&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;People can react immediately to the radiation. Typical symptoms are sleep problems, headaches, dizziness, nausea. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also see www.mastsanity.org &amp;nbsp;on the latest Japanese Communications ministry funded research that came out this week and was carefully placed in The Guardian, which has been uncovered as being part of the corporate &amp;nbsp;lobby.&lt;/p&gt;

(see &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://omega.twoday.net/"&gt;http://omega.twoday.net/&lt;/a&gt;):&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Symptoms known to be caused by exposure to microwave radiation: insomnia, headaches, swollen lymph nodes, depression, anxiety, loss of appetite, hypoxia (lack of oxygen getting to your tissues), inability to concentrate, forgetfulness, dizziness, irritability, nausea, hyperactivity, fatigue, vision problems, weakened immune system, etc. &amp;nbsp;Also included are triggering or exacerbation of allergic reactions; mitochondria dysfunction, linked to fatigue and possibly even obesity; depolarization of the body's red blood cells, which can cause symptoms similar to altitude sickness: nausea, dizziness, inability to concentrate, and so on; a decrease in the numbers of Natural Killer (NK) cells, resulting in longer than normal recover time from day-to-day infections; abnormalities in the T-lymphocyte ratio, causing sore throats, low-grade fevers, weakness, persistent fatigue, and swollen lymph glands; increased viruses, bacteria, mold, parasites, and yeast in the blood; subliminal stress, causing the adrenal glands to excrete an abnormally greater amount of cortisol and adrenaline and eventually leading to adrenal exhaustion; low levels of serotonin, linked to anxiety and depression; decreased dopamine, linked with depression; decreased acetylcholine, linked to a number of neurological and neuromuscular disorders, including Alzheimer's; restlessness; altered cerebral blood flow; heart disease; (continued below)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We must research, find ways to make our homes, our work enviroments as safe as can be, and no we are not paranoid. &lt;/p&gt;

Radiation's also major concern for astronauts on moon or space exploration. Most planets lack molten core layers &amp;amp; can't produce protective magnetic fields, seriously limiting habitability. Anti-neutrons =combined positron &amp;amp; antiproton. The anti-Hydrogen comprised by all three together. After firing them in the particle colliders, they have to be decelerated &amp;amp; collected in magnetic bottles. During decel the particles conserve momentum by swingimg sideways, about half the antimatter is lost on the sides of the container. You would know it if you were nereby. Les&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;img src="http://articles.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=32049" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Why Your Cell Phone Can Hurt Your Children</title><link>http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/02/07/why-your-cell-phone-can-hurt-your-children.aspx#32047</link><pubDate>Tue, 05 Feb 2008 03:27:44 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:32047</guid><dc:creator>flamingember</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;We may never get cell phone studies;&amp;quot;Don't wait for the movie!&amp;quot; Industryprotect's interests. Canada &amp;amp; Europe have far stringent microwave &amp;amp; biorad regulations. Food irradiation also plays dodgeball. Like politicians, they avoid testing the disruptive agent. Why measure brain heating? It's cool rads that rearrange your genes. Irradiated food's not radioactive, but contains radiolytic byproducts formed via high energies. The obliterated cell compartments/vacuoles spill out lysing, denatured, apoptotic enzymes into a sterile puerile primordial soup even microbes won't touch. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When you masticate garlic/scallions, released enzymes naturally activate sulfurous ajoenes. SO2 byproduct burns your lacrimals(tears) &amp;amp; mucous after exceeding buffer capacity(instant sulfuric acid, just add water). I always chew w protein or fat as buffer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, back at the cellular, heat tests don't expose tissue disruptio. Remember, the lower freq can be more dangerous, since craniofacial nerves conduct in miliamp range. Given a choice of jolts, fear the lower freq AC, it'll clamp your heart. Higher voltage(esp DC) will knock/stun you away. Dry skin usually conducts above 35-40 volts, wet less.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You wouldn't even 'feel' damaging solar flair protons, x-rays, even anti-matter fired at you(via accelerator beam) would barely tickle. During early daze of Roentgen (X)-rays, patients were exposed longer than necessary. Cells don't possess rad detectors. One great 20th century clown, GROCK, had his hand x-rayed 20 min(w/o pain). However w/i weeks the hand withered, condemming him to 'white-gloves'. One evening, while performing on his piano routine, his white gloves turned crimson; but not from x-rads, a jealous rival planted razor blades b/w the piano keys.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Classic rad symptoms progress by systems: blood cells, GI tract, immuno, neuro... over weeks. I haven't seen corollary of nerve compromising symptoms in research regarding cellular, micro, CRT, gamma(food irrad), X-cetera. It's not funded!Laszlo&lt;/p&gt;
