By Enrico Grani (with Paul Doyon)
“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.” -- Arthur Schopenhauer
My name is Enrico Grani and I presently live in Australia. I used cell phones for ten-plus years extensively on-and-off, and because of this I developed a brain tumor!
In 2007, about one week before my birthday, I was diagnosed with a 3 cm by 4 cm brain tumor. I had a stroke (my first one) the previous year in late November 2006. An MRI examination revealed a brain tumor in the area of my brain next to my ear where I always used my cell phone -- in the exact position where the cell phone’s antenna was located.
My goal here is to try to make you and your loved ones aware of the extreme dangers posed by these microwave-emitting devices. Please read about my experience carefully and thoroughly, and please do not make the same mistakes that I have made.
Rationalizations Won’t Save You
My father told me constantly that cell phones were very dangerous and that I would get a brain tumor. We actually had many big arguments because of my cell phone use. I would say “Yeah, Yeah, Papa, what do you know about cell phones anyway?” It went in one ear and out the other.
I rationalized that I needed this cell phone for my business. What I didn’t understand was the terrible price I would pay. I thought that if I exercised and ate healthy food, that I would be able to reverse the negative effects -- if there were any at all! After all, we were ALL told that cell phones posed no risk to our health. Remember?
I was very wrong. Cell phones are much more dangerous than anyone can possibly imagine. By just owning one of these devices, you are paying the cell-phone industry -- you are giving them the power to destroy your life -- and to make an increasing number of people sick. To think that I have paid the cell-phone industry thousands of dollars over the years to get a brain tumor (which has completely destroyed my life) sickens me.
I would gladly trade in all my money (which isn’t much now) and every single material possession I have for the chance to have my brain function restored. I was foolish!
Please don’t make the same mistake. Your brain is much more precious than the device called a cell phone. If you don’t believe this after reading this completely then there is no hope for you, and you will find out the hard way just like I have.
There’s No Customer Service When You’re Dying
Remember one thing, when you get a brain tumor from cell-phone use and you nearly die as a result, ring up the cell-phone shop and you will see how quickly they hang up on you.
All the smiles you remember in the shop -- going through all the models with the sales people -- are gone, and now you are totally alone in a world of pain, torment, and humiliation.
“Brain Tumor Day”
After I had my first stroke, my left arm became paralyzed and I now have severe cognitive difficulties, and problems with fine-motor movement in my hand. The brain tumor was situated in the right parietal lobe -- exactly in the position where I used the cell phone.
I was diagnosed one week before my 40th birthday with a meningioma brain tumor. I was so shocked my legs went weak. This was a birthday present that I will never forget -- ever! My birthday will always be remembered as "Brain Tumor Day." I can no longer work as I am disabled, but this does not mean that I cannot make you aware, so that you or your loved ones never endure my fate.
All I can do now with my life is to try and increase awareness of this serious problem.
Nothing Left to Do But Spread the Word
Thanks to the help of some good friends, scientists, epidemiologists, and a few doctors, I have been able to learn so much about the severe dangers posed by cell phones, cell-phone base stations, and the increasing levels of ambient electromagnetic radiation (EMR) permeating our living environments.
If we don’t do something about this now, I believe firmly, as do many renowned scientists, that this is posing a severe threat to all life on this planet.
There is growing evidence that the drastic disappearance of frogs, insects, and birds -- and now food production -- is connected to the growing microwave radiation permeating our environment. What I am trying to say here is that we are seriously looking at extinction as a species if something isn’t done soon -- if people continue to remain complacent and in denial about this problem because of another related problem -- the selfishness, greed, and stupidity infecting our way of life.
If we remain ignorant and uneducated about the seriousness of this situation, then many people, children, animals, and all life forms will gradually become sick and die. It has already started to happen!
Who Do You Trust?
I now sincerely wish that I had seriously listened to my father -- but I was really stupid. Now that I know what I know, I know that I have made a big mistake in trusting the cell-phone industry and my government to protect me against this danger.
After all, everyone was using them and they seemed OK. If I had had a better understanding of two things -- (1) the effects of electromagnetic radiation, and (2) the blatant irresponsibility of a government bought and paid for by an industry blinded by senseless greed -- I would never have encountered this sad fate.
Being disabled is very hard for me to deal with, as it complicates every aspect of what is left of my life. However, knowing now that my disability could have been prevented, knowing now that numerous scientific studies years ago had already shown cell-phone radiation causes DNA damage and brain tumor development, knowing now that these scientific studies were completely ignored because of industry greed many years ago prior to my tumor, and knowing now that it could have been prevented, is even harder for me to deal with emotionally.
Now I want to tell you all that I firmly believe that cell-phone use was the cause of my brain tumor. And I pray you don‘t think that you are the lucky, untouchable one!
I pray that you don‘t think you are immune to this either! Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) does not discriminate. If you use a cell phone, the chances of you also getting a brain tumor, not to mention all kinds of other serious health problems, are extremely high.
My goal here is not to scare you, but rather to give you the cold hard facts -- facts that you may not know about and facts that you need to be aware of.
Brain Tumors are On the Rise
In the past few years there has been a drastic increase in the number of people getting brain tumors (not to mention other cancers and disease states like Autism, ADHD, CFIDS and so on). Brain tumors are now the number-one cause of death in children in Australia and the United States (and I imagine many other countries also).
It is now being predicted by epidemiologists that within the next ten years we will see at least a 1,000 percent increase in this disease state. A major brain-tumor epidemic is just around the corner. It saddens my heart to watch all the children with their cell phones glued to their ears; they have no idea what they are in for in years to come. This should not be happening, but it is and it is a serious crime against humanity being committed by humanity itself. I seriously believe this now!
My life has been completely destroyed. I have seizures nearly all the time now and it is extremely painful to experience these; it feels as if I am being electrocuted over and over again, with the flesh peeling off my bones. It took me over two months to learn how to walk again. However, I am a fighter and I always will be!
Systemic Genocide Against Humanity
I have always tried to take good care of my health and I was always very conscious of the importance of my body and mental strength, as I am quite a fitness buff. I just wasn’t aware how seriously dangerous cell phones actually were. I really just wanted to quickly recover after having the tumor removed from my brain and I was exercising, lifting weights, and leg pressing twice my body weight, as soon as I could walk again. I just wanted my health back, and to be able to work again and regain the lifestyle I once had!
However, having said that, I am still suffering drastically because of this. What the phone companies did to me with their lies and their greed is a crime that should never have been allowed to happen.
What will happen to an increasing number of people can only be considered as "Systematic Genocide Against Humanity.”
I know it and many other people know it too. Unfortunately, not enough people want to believe it -- until of course something like this happens to them. It is as if they are drug-addict zombies in a trance -- addicted to their cell phones. The only difference here being is that the cell phone is the new "Electromagnetic Drug." This is what the cell-phone industry wants and has seemingly planned and now totally achieved.
The First Hit is Free
Why would a cell-phone company make you sign a contract and then give you "free” minutes? Sounds to me like what a "drug pusher" would do.
As the saying goes "nothing is for nothing." Free minutes “equals” more time on the cell phone, “equals” addiction, “equals” a brain tumor, cancer, disability, allergies, feeling unwell, plus once you are addicted your "free minutes" are quickly all used up and then you will pay even more to your cell-phone company.
The cell-phone companies are killing us and no one seems to have a clue about what is really going on -- or they are so addicted to their cell phones that most don’t seem to care.
No one can deny that cell phones caused my brain tumor, except perhaps the unethical liars bought and paid for by the cell-phone industry. No matter how much proof you submit, they will deny it to no end, backed by their highly paid unethical lawyers, who have no soul! It’s totally disgusting. These people have sold their souls for money and gold, at the expense of the health of people worldwide!
It is time for me to go public with this and I suggest that if you (or someone that you know) are in the same or a similar situation that you go public as well. I am not scared of the cell-phone industry because I have a soul filled with love for humanity. They have no soul at all, or they would not be doing this to us!
Placing cell-phone towers next to people’s homes and nearby children‘s schools, and selling cell phones to young children when it is a known fact that a child‘s skull is thinner than an adult‘s, and a child‘s brain is not fully developed and is damaged greatly by cell phone use, is completely unethical and irresponsible.
The cell-phone industry, while completely aware of these facts, still -- blinded by greed, it seems -- engage in this ironically legal "Crime Against Humanity." I really don’t care if they try to kill me, harass me, or whatever else they may try to do to me. Sure, they have so much money, and I have none. So what? At least I am a human being with dignity and a conscience -- and that is much more than I can say about them.
I was in a coma for three days, I had three strokes, and I had a good portion of by brain cut out of my head. What more needs to be said? How could I possibly be scared of them?
My life is garbage and I know many other people that have been seriously affected from all walks of life. Once a person has cheated death as many times as I have, then one no longer holds any fear of anyone or anything. I just want to get this story out to the public and hopefully from reading about my experience some people’s lives can be spared from fates similar to mine. My only goal in life right now is to save life through educating people about my experience.
Mass Media Avoids the Truth Like the Plague
I have approached many TV stations here in Australia and none of them have wanted to touch my story. It seems to me that they are also bought and paid for by the cell-phone industry. This is not hard to believe either.
How many people must die before this situation with the electromagnetic radiation (EMR) is taken seriously in my country and given the worldwide coverage that it deserves? I suppose many people are fearful of losing their jobs by speaking out. All I can say to these people is that when they are in a wheel chair and can no longer work it’s "You had the chance to speak out but chose to remain silent."
Should it be Considered Premeditated Murder?
It really makes me extremely angry because it is the children, with their lives still ahead of them, who are going to suffer the most because of this. The children‘s brains and immune systems are still in a process of development. The cell-phone industry, fully ignoring this fact, manipulates children into purchasing a cell phone by using Mickey Mouse designs on the phones to get the child‘s attention.
All I can say is that this is "premeditated murder." What else can it be called when they are fully aware from all the data, facts, and studies (except the ones they have manipulated) by an army of ethical scientists and researchers out there saying that these things are dangerous!
You May be Affected But Attribute it to Other Things
This microwave radiation is destroying people’s lives and most people do not even realize this because it seems that they are attributing their symptoms to other things.
It is difficult for people to realize that something they can‘t sense with their senses -- see, touch, taste, smell, or hear -- is harmful, and most don’t even imagine that this is indeed the cause of their symptoms.
Not even the doctors are aware of the problem it seems, and if they are, most are keeping their mouths shut (for fear of losing their jobs). The cell phone companies are making staggering amounts of money, the pharmaceutical companies are making money, and doctors and hospitals are making money. And as long as they are all making money, it seems as if everyone is happy -- until of course they also get sick!
I spent approximately $4,000 AUS dollars on my cell-phone bills in 1996. I still can’t believe that I gave those Criminals all that money and I don’t expect that they will ever pay me back any of it either.
In the initial stages of having a cell phone I started to notice a burning sensation above the ear (where the tumor was diagnosed), but at the time I didn’t give it much thought, like many of you out there I presume.
However, come to think of it, there were a few times when I had to end the phone call because the pain was unbearable and I would have to call the person back later after the pain had subsided. I would also get these chronic headaches and pain in my eyes, but then again, I just attributed this to the pressures of the work. I even started to lose my memory and get lost while driving, which is strange since before that I always had a decent sense of direction.
All these symptoms started with the business and the cell phone usage. I finally left that business after 17 months on the job.
I went to see about five doctors over a period of years because of the headaches. Not one of them told me to stop using my cell phone. They all just diagnosed me with having tension headaches and prescribed Panadol or Aspirin or some other drug, which I usually did not take since I never trusted pharmaceuticals. Had just one of these doctors ordered a MRI brain scan, or a CT brain scan, I probably would not be so disabled today. If my brain tumor had been diagnosed earlier, I most likely would be working now and enjoying life.
Conventional Medicine is Still Clueless About the Dangers of EMR
The brain rehabilitation team was utterly astounded with my progress after my brain tumor was removed. However, they seemed to be completely clueless about the dangers of EMR and often would take their cell phone calls directly in the immediate vicinity of my head. They really should be aware that one should not put one of these microwave-emitting devices next to one’s head and especially not close to the head of someone who has just had a brain tumor removed.
However, like most people out there they are completely and utterly clueless regarding the dangers posed by this EMR weapon. It’s a complete irony and utter contradiction, but the people in the medical profession -- the people who are supposed to be helping us -- do not have any clue about the harmful effects of EMR on living organisms.
Hopefully, in the future -- if we have one -- this will change! At this point, people really have to do the research on EMR themselves. I have personally had to do my own research regarding EMR and my condition. Doctors are just too happy to prescribe drugs without really thinking too deeply about the underlying causes.
Now, my only mission in life is to make people aware of the dangers posed by this wireless technology. What else can I do? I just hope people are smart enough to listen. My only desire is for people to have life -- not death!
To my father: I am sorry Papa that I failed you by not listening to you. Papa you were right just as usual, and I paid the price for not listening to your words of wisdom as usual. The only thing is, this time I cannot correct my mistake. I am disabled for life. Sorry Papa, please forgive me for my stupidity.
To read more about my experience, please visit the website below, where my experience since being diagnosed with a brain tumor has been documented.
"The Truth Shall Set You Free"
First, I want to thank Mr. Grani for sharing his personal story. I believe the dangers of cell phone usage are the 21st Century version of smoking. Remember how medical doctors used to say smoking was harmless? Heck they were even used in advertising, stating that smoking was GOOD for you!
Only decades later, after vehement denials, was the undisputable truth finally accepted -- that smoking does cause lung cancer.
History is now repeating itself. There is ever growing evidence that the information-carrying radio waves transmitted by cell phones and other wireless devices can:
And that’s the short list.
Radio Waves Have Reached Critical Mass -- Health Problems Bound to Erupt
Information-carrying radio waves have increased dramatically and exponentially over the last few years. Just think: it took 20 years for the first 1 billion cell phones to be sold -- a milestone reached in 2004. The next billion took just 18 months. The third billion was sold even faster -- just nine months, and we will reach the fourth billion by the end of this year.
Add to that all the wireless networks that are now becoming standard, exposing you to massive amounts of radio waves whether you actually use wireless or not. Most major office buildings now have WiFi, as do Starbuck’s, Panera Bread, and most libraries. The biological danger from WiFi routers, cell phones and land-based portable phones comes from two sources:
The modulated information-carrying radio waves resonate in biological frequencies of a few to a few hundred cycles per second, and can stimulate your vibrational cellular receptors, causing a whole cascade of pathological consequences that can culminate in fatigue, anxiety and ultimately cancers.
And the carrier wave has been found to create damage NOT related to thermal heat damage, which the industry has long argued is the only possible cause of biological harm (i.e. “radio waves do not create enough thermal heat to pose a risk to biological tissue.”) Therefore, simply lowering the SAR rating on cell phones -- which determines how much radiation your body absorbs -- or making sure your phone is within legal SAR limits, will not guarantee your safety by any means.
Your cells will interpret even a minute amount of cell phone radiation as a threat, and shut down. This is a response intended to protect them, but when you talk on a cell phone, it lasts for far longer than your body can handle. A lot of the damage is caused by the disruption microtubular connections that allow biophotons to communicate between cells, which decreases intracellular communication. Increased deposits of heavy metals also begin to accumulate in your cells, which increases intracelluar production of free radicals, and can radically decrease cellular production of energy, thus making you incredibly fatigued.
Once your body’s communication system is damaged, it is very easy to develop all sorts of pathologies related to disrupted intracellular antioxidant systems and heavy metal toxicities.
Recent studies have found that cell phone users are 240 percent more prone to brain tumors, and a study back in 2004 found that your risk of acoustic neuroma (a tumor on your auditory nerve) was nearly four times greater on the side of your head where your phone was most frequently held.
Listen, there is VERY solid evidence that the number of brain tumors will increase to 500,000 per YEAR in 2010 -- and will double to 1 million every year by 2015 if the causes are not addressed. Folks, this is the real deal and represents an impending health care crisis.
The Truth No One Wants to Face
There should be no doubt that you are being deceived about the safety of cell phones and WiFi, the same way the public was deceived for decades about tobacco. Back then, large corporate interests were very effective at manipulating the media and legislation to perpetuate the myth that smoking was safe, and nothing has changed in that regard.
The United States protects corporate interests above public health more than ever.
Therefore, your first mistake would be to be fooled by the mainstream media silence.
Remember, the media outlets in the United States are owned by a minuscule SIX corporations. Today, your mind is controlled by Time Warner, Disney, Murdoch's News Corporation, Bertelsmann of Germany, Viacom (formerly CBS) and General Electric's NBC. These are the top owners of the entire media industry, which includes everything you read and hear in newspapers, magazines, TV and radio stations, books, records, movies, videos, wire services and photo agencies.
Can you believe what they say?
Not a chance. Because the telecommunication industry, which is even BIGGER than the drug cartel, Big Pharma, have far more influence than the drug companies -- and you already know what heavy-weights they are when it comes to spreading misinformation.
Protect Yourself from the Invisible Danger of EMR
Some individuals believe that relatively expensive fixes like nano polymers (like those used by BioPro) can help, but my initial investigation strongly suggests that this technology protection is only minimally effective, and dissipates rapidly.
Of course, the only real solution is to move our culture away from wireless back to more wired. As for myself, I completely renovated my new home prior to moving in, earlier this year, and part of the project was to put in wired CAT-5 cables so I have no wireless connections at all. We will also be moving into a brand new 25,000 square foot office building in June and we will have absolutely no wireless in the entire building.
I’ve also learned that most portable home phones are a major source of these information carrying radio waves. The only exception would be the much older, essentially antiquated 900 MHz portable phones. Fortunately they are still readily available online. One of the major differences is that they are only on when in use. The other higher MHz phones are on continuously, bombarding your cells with tissue damaging radiation even when you’re not using them. If you do choose to use a cell phone, use the speakerphone function whenever possible -- and keep the phone about two feet away from any body part. Do not keep the phone on your belt or in your pocket even when you’re not using it, as the radiation WILL penetrate your body wherever the phone is attached. Instead, stow it away in a purse, backpack, or your car’s glove compartment.For times when a speakerphone isn’t practical, use an air-tube headset, rather than Bluetooth.
Firstly I would like to thank you Dr. Mercola for posting my above story and sending it to many people.
It is cold here now and as you know cold weather slows the muscles and the nerves. I was told recently that I am beyond the rehabilitation stage by a professional because after a brain tumor removal the first 3 - 6 months most of the gains are made. I am also aware that the brain takes on average 2 years to heal and establish the pathways. When it is cold I can not feel all of my hand and the strength is impaired greatly. However I was told NOT to train prior to my operation and I did it any way and this saved my life. my fingers are drifting apart and I can not bring them together. I have organized a splint next week and I will NOT give up! when I made my site.
www.fitnesssavedmylife.com
I wanted to make it as positive as possible to let people know that they are only as strong as they believe they are. A few weeks after the web-site being nearly completed I suffered a massive stroke weening off the medication. This is why my site was never completed and remains "under construction". Nine months later and I am still NOT the same as I was prior to the last stroke. The chemicals in my brain have changed, more medication, sensory changes and so on. I thought a few times about writing about my cell phone experience.
Then I realized that I have cheated death so many times so why must I be afraid ? I felt it my duty to explain my personal experience - I am NOT afraid and neither must other people. This is a very serious health concern. I know my words are blunt and to the point but this is who I am and I can NOT change this, it is part of me. I only want to prevent people from such pain. I thank you once again for displaying my personal experience on your site. I am NOT afraid of no one. "The Truth Shall Set You Free"
There is evidence about this subject see links. Also, sometimes we forget common sense...how could we ever think this was safe? Think about it, a signal strong enough to travel from a satellite to your phone is somehow not strong enough to penetrate the cells of our body and disrupt them??? Common sense and simple logic works. anyway,

happy reading!!!
Enrico, i found your story very interesting. I agree that it seems like big business is making all the money they can at any cost. They don't care about you and me. I believe that the more the general public is aware of problems like this, the closer we get to solving them. This is why big business would suppress information, like for instance not doing your story on the news. So keep fighting, keep putting your story out there as long as you can. Others will be inspired to do the same, and the tide will turn, hopefully soon enough.
Thank you for your courage and determination for the truth to be out about this.
Nev
Thank you so much for this, Enrico! And big thanks to Dr.Mercola for bringing this important information to the public!
To answer Dr Scott's rhetorical question about how we could ever think this was safe, we were ridiculed with childish words like "woowoo" for even considering EMF as a possible factor in our health. I was very lucky. I had already ascertained its negative effects on my own health before I encountered the heavy-handed spin, or I'll bet I'd be a blithering idiot on a phone right now. However, to speak out all alone for years as an increasingly-abandoned Cassandra was my fate. (I'm still undergoing this in Japan.) Thank you for the company, Enrico. I'm so sorry this had to happen to you!!!
Between five and ten years ago, I wrote a letter to National Geographic on a possible connection between the 1918 flu epidemic and the first worldwide radio broadcasts and use on Navy ships; to Asahi News on my ability to tell when a train passenger next to me was "packing" (now moot as nearly everyone has a phone); twice to a green journal whose name escapes me on possible connection of EMF to autism (I was desperate to break through because they wrote of the desperate search for the cause by parents of an autistic boy); and one article each on general EMF effects and Dr. Brundtland's experiences with electrosensitivity to Synthesis and Regeneration. All were ignored. I concluded I could only try the salesman approach of enlightening people one at a time. Still, I knew I was on the winning side because I am not trying to prevent something, but rather build it: recognition of a danger. Industry will throw up blocks as long as it keeps the cash flowing.
Earth Island Journal was who alerted me, by carrying Arthur Firstenberg's article "Microwaving the Planet." Those good people will all go straight to heaven.
The sad thing about mobile phones is that they are here to stay! And there is nothing that will change that unfortunately.
Having a mobile phone can be a necessity at times for many people and for many different reasons but most of the time the phones are used just because they're there!
I find the thought of having my phone with me while driving down(the Guinness record for the world's deadliest)highway comforting, or simply knowing that I can be reached in case something happened while my kids are at school, however I can't think of other times that I must use my mobile.
And I don't understand people who must walk around with the head piece device flashing over their ear at all times. Or all the women walking about and clutching their phones like some sort of a security blanket. And of course I would never ever purchase the new pink Motorola cell phone for my daughter, just because her friend has it.
Happy to see articles like this one. Hopefully more people will read, learn and listen.
These four videos have vanished from my site shortly after my story posted above regarding cell phones, I will repost again when I have time, not my fault. http://www.stop-radiation.com/
Sorry if you tried to view these videos before and were unable but here they are the four that were taken off my site. Sorry for any inconvenience. I really hope that they stay here. Why would four videos disappear after my story above ?

Peace - Enrico Grani
Very important article here, folks! Thanks so much.
I question the safety of the BlueTooth as well…
I've become very aware of the dangers of mobile phones and would never let my children use them. I still own one but have restricted my use for absolute emergencies. One day I'm hoping to trow it away all together!
But what to do about my wireless internet? Can someone please be kind and tell me how bad it really is? My laptop is on all the time and sits in my kitchen where we happen to spent most of the time. I know this can't be good. What do you people use?
Thanks in advance.
the average dood has +-1000 trillion cells (including microbes)...
it's not possible for every cell to be interconnected by neurons...
but yet all cells work in co-ordination with each other (Geerd Hamer)...
inter cell communication is possible through electromagnetic radiation?
Perhaps cell phones are dangerous, but one person's account does not prove a case.
And he says "Brain tumors are now the number-one cause of death in children in Australia and the United States (and I imagine many other countries also)." Here's a quote from the CDC website. "Motor vehicle injuries are the leading cause of death among children in the U.S. (CDC 2006)."
Lidija,
You may buy an electrosmog meter to know your level of exposure. 0.08 microwatts/cm2 (28.5 dBm) already causes chronic fatigue and sleep problems in 37% and 35% of people.
Though I've never used the wifi connexion of my notebook it was emitting at 0.17uW/cm2 every 2-10 seconds. This means even if you have a corded internet connexion you will have to turn off the wifi connexion in your notebook.
It's no joke about the DNA damage. And it is not just from the hand sets, either. A group of hang glider pilots in Japan was flying near antennas, not close enough to risk a collision, but in the main field of radiation. And we'd been doing this for years, aware of warnings about a cancer risk from the radiation, but it was when digital service appeared that the men flying there became unable to have children. They went to the doctor and found their sperm to have been severely damaged. I think people are likely to be similarly exposed in cities because of all the antennas and tall buildings.
Brain Tumor Facts
* Brain tumors are now the leading cause of cancer death in children under age 20 now surpassing acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and are the third leading cause of cancer death for young adults ages 20-39.* Because brain tumors are located at the control center for thought, emotion, and movement, their effects on an individual's physical and cognitive abilities can be devastating.* An estimated 3,110 new cases of childhood primary brain tumors are expected to be diagnosed this year. Of these new cases, an estimated 2,330 will be in children less than 15 years of age.* The five-year relative survival rate following diagnosis of a primary malignant brain tumor is 32.7% for males and 31.6% for females.* At present, brain tumors are treated by surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, used either individually or in combination.* An estimated 13,100 deaths will be attributed to primary malignant brain tumors this year.
* There are over 120 different types of brain tumors, making effective treatment very complicated.* The incidence rate of childhood primary benign and malignant brain tumors is 3.9 cases per 100,000 person-years. The rate is higher in males than females (4.1 vs. 3.8 per 100,000 person-years).* Brain tumors in children are different from those in adults and are often treated differently. In addition, due to either the effects of the tumor or the treatment required to control it, survivors of childhood brain tumors often have severe neurologic, neurocognitive, and psychosocial sequelae.....The source for the majority of this information is the 2002-2003 Primary Brain Tumors in the United States Statistical Report written by the Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States (CBTRUS). www.friendsofjaclyn.org/.../Brain-Tumor-Facts.html
There seems to be some conflicting information on the web about this, however whether brain tumors are the leading or the second leading cause of death in children isn't going to discount the seriousness of this issue.
As Dr. Mercola states, the media is indeed for the most part controlled and it is common knowledge that there is often unfortunately infiltration of and collusion with government (e.g. FDA) and international agencies (e.g. WHO) by the cell-phone industry. Moreover, it is also common knowledge in some circles that the cell-phone industry actually hires these losers (who usually will not reveal their real identities) to troll the Internet and try to attack anyone or any article speaking the Truth regarding the dangers posed by their dangerous electromagnetic devices. It is plain and simple they want to control the information and influence public opinion. However, the way they do it is completely deceitful, deceptive, and dishonest.
However, the tide is starting to turn and even the researchers bought and paid for by the cell-phone industry itself are switching sides sensing in the air that public opinion is also shifting and not wanting to be caught on the wrong side of the fence when it does. There is now a serious crime (i.e. premeditated murder) knowingly being committed against humankind by the those in the cell-phone industry and the time will indeed come when they will be held accountable for their sins. And no nitpicking by a bunch of losers is going to change this one little bit.
"Brain tumors are the leading cause of solid tumor cancer death in children under the age of 20, now surpassing acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). They are the second leading cause of cancer death in male adults ages 20-29 and the fifth leading cause of cancer death in female adults ages 20-39. (2,5)"

"Cancer is now the second leading cause of death in children ages 5-9... the first leading cause is accidents. Cancer in a small child was once a rare thing, the incidence of childhood cancer has increased more than 400% in the past 20 years. I don't remember having any friends in school who suffered from ADD or ADHD and none of my friends were so asthmatic that they couldn't play outside without taking their inhaler.... but researchers are proving again and again that the leading cause of these problems is environmental."

Aaltrude - The hybrid cars EM alarm reported in the New York Times was based on faulty information from people using Trifield meters who don't understand how they work. They report high FREQUENCY signals as high MAGNETIC FIELD signals, which they're not. People were reporting 100 mG readings, but actual readings in a Prius peak at 6 to 8 mG, and only during hard acceleration, and only on the back seats. At 60 cycles/sec (power-frequency) they're 1 mG or less, which is less than the background levels in many homes. Otherwise, hybrids are no more dangerous from an EMF perspective than most cars.

THANK YOU for this link! Excellent info. I encourage all to watch this.
I am glad to see that other Doctor's are starting to take this seriously. My co-worker and I have been exposes to RF/EMR from a telecommunictions facility since 1992. We were Fire Lookouts on Likely Mountain which is situated the the middle of a multi transmitter communications site. We have been sick since 2002 and fighting court cases in California since 2003. We have been denied Workers Comp. 24 of our family members have also been affected. Three have cancer, 2 are terminal at this time. 12 out of 13 tested so far have been diagnosed with Toxic Encephalopathy. Our children and grandchildren are also affected. My grandson was exposed in-utero and is also diagnosed Autistic. We all have DNA damage, thyroid diseases, muscle damage, cell death and brain damage in the frontal and temporal lobes. We have other illnesses and Mary and I are disabled. My husband is one of the ones with terminal cancer and it has spread throughout his body. He only had a total of 24 hours exposure over three years. The State of California has stated in court that they do not have to follow federal mandated laws and safety regulation concerning RF radiation. The major phone companies have stated in court that the Telecommunictions Act of 1996 gives them the right to place people in harms way and that these rights of putting up the telephone grid out weight the risks of damage, even death. We are still fighting on all fronts. Someone has got to make these agencies both public and private stand up and take account of their actions. Our children are this countries greatest natural resource and if they are damaged, and the adults are sick and hurt, who then is going to take care of the world???
My ex-husband had a brain tumor removed last year, and I realized last year that I was 'electrosensitive' and was eventually diagnosed with late-stage, chronic Lyme and multiple coinfections - and I blame the wireless boom for both his tumor and my infections.
Bacteria have been shown to have a 'magnetic sense'. (Read 'Cross Currents' and 'The Body Electric' by Dr. Robert O. Becker. This is why Lyme has been on the rise in recent years.
Wake up, people. You have two different people here - two different genetic makeups - and both are suffering due to the wireless boom. I don't think you can blame my ex's tumor and my yet-to-be-cured brain infections on genetics in this case.
I predict we are about to have an epidemic of brain tumors and infections, especially with the recent die-offs of bats in the northeast.
