Em Fields On Brain Tumor Incidence - Chemicals And Cell Phones
..."In a series of studies, Hardell and colleagues have examined the relationship between the side of the head habitually used in operation of cellular and cordless phones and a possible relationship to the site of brain tumors ([Hardell et al., 2003]). The risk for ipsilateral (same side) use significantly increased the risk for astrocytoma for all types of phones, but use of the phone on the opposite side of the head was not associated with significantly increased risk. Overall, use of FM (analog) phones gave an increased risk, whereas digital and cordless phones did not increase risks significantly."...
This excellent piece of work by Dr Adey (so typical of this towering figure in EM and Cell research) should put to rest the debate on the dangers of Cell phones (obviously this applies to all the wireless stuff that is so much the rage these days as well) . While the danger cannot be avoided at least it can be minimized, to some extent, as per above. Those who insist on using them can further reduce their exposure by shortening transmissions (cutting out the 'gift of the gab') and listening more (pun intended)...which besides lessening the exposure should improve their listen skills (a much maligned attribute of our modern society)..
This paper is a must read for those interested in non thermal effects EMF (Electromagnetic Fields) particularly the collective cell/neuron response/behavior/properties to stimuli. It is an eye opener and very useful when dealing with vested interests who continually ignore non thermal effects to promote their wares with self serving rhetoric.

5. Influence of EM fields on brain tumor incidence in man and in animal models (10)
5.1. Epidemiological studies
Environmental EM fields may act jointly with exposure to environmental chemicals with known cancer-promoting actions in enhancing occupational brain tumor risks. Experimental evidence supports cell membranes as a site for joint actions of many chemical cancer promoters with EM fields ([Adey, 1992b]). The latter include pesticides, weedicides and electrical solvents. A case control study by the U.S. National Cancer Institute of brain tumor incidence in RF/microwave occupational exposures ([Thomas et al., 1987]) in the states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Louisiana concluded that all excess risk for primary brain tumors in white males aged over 30 years derived from jobs involving design, manufacture, installation and repair of electronic equipment (Risk Ratio=2.3, 95% CI=1.3,4.2). Cases were divided into cohorts with 5, 10, 15 and 20+ years of exposure. Risks of astrocytomas increased to ten-fold for those employed 20 years or more, when concurrent exposure to electrical and electronic solvents was involved. RRs were not increased in men exposed to RF/microwave fields, but who never worked in electrical or electronics jobs; leading the authors to emphasize concurrent exposures to soldering fumes, solvents and a variety of chemicals as possible co-factors with RF/microwave fields in tumor promotion.
In a case-control study of risk factors for gliomas and meningiomas in males in Los Angeles County, involving 272 men aged 2569 with primary brain tumors and 272 matched neighbor controls ([Preston-Martin et al., 1989]), glioma (but not meningioma) risk related to prior employment in jobs likely to involve high exposure to electric and magnetic fields (P<0.05). The risk was greatest for astrocytoma (OR for employment in such jobs for >5 years=4.3; CI=1.215.6). As in the study of microwave workers cited above, there was evidence of concurrent action of chemical factors. More glioma cases had worked in the rubber industry (discordant pairs 6/1), and more worked in hot processes using plastics (9/1).
[Savitz and Loomis (1995)] have linked work site magnetic field measurements to individual work histories in a cohort mortality study (138,905 men) at 5 large American electric power companies over a period of 36 years. Brain cancer risk increased by a factor of 1.94 per microtesla-year of magnetic field exposure in the previous 210 years, with a mortality rate ratio of 2.6 in the highest exposure category.
In a series of studies, Hardell and colleagues have examined the relationship between the side of the head habitually used in operation of cellular and cordless phones and a possible relationship to the site of brain tumors ([Hardell et al., 2003]). The risk for ipsilateral use significantly increased the risk for astrocytoma for all types of phones, but use of the phone on the opposite side of the head was not associated with significantly increased risk. Overall, use of FM (analog) phones gave an increased risk, whereas digital and cordless phones did not increase risks significantly.
5.2. Animal models of brain tumor promotion
There are few accepted animal models of spontaneous malignant central nervous system (CNS) tumors, although there has been increasing use of the Fischer 344 rat, with a reported incidence of spontaneous malignant tumors as high as 11%. Two life term studies using this rat model have compared exposures to the North American Digital Standard (NADC) digital phone field using 11
Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) modulation pulsed at 50 packets/sec, with comparable exposures to the older type of FM (analog) phone fields ([Adey et al., 1999]; [Adey et al., 2000]). Rats were exposed in utero to a single dose of the short-lived neurocarcinogen ethylnitrosourea (ENU), and thereafter, exposed intermittently to either TDMA or FM fields for 23 months.
In the TDMA study, when compared with rats receiving ENU but unexposed, rats that died from a primary CNS tumor before termination of the study showed a significant reduction in tumor incidence (P<0.015). A similar but non-significant reduction in spontaneous tumor incidence occurred in rats field-exposed but not receiving ENU (P<0.08). In the balanced design of this experiment, consistent non-significant differences in survival rates were noted between the four rat groups, with higher death rates in a progression: sham/field:sham/sham:ENU/field:ENU/sham. By contrast in the FM study, no field-related effects were observed in number, incidence or types of either spontaneous or ENU-induced CNS tumors.
These observations of an apparent protective effect against ENU-induced and spontaneous CNS tumors are not isolated. Low dosage of X-rays in fetal rats at the time of ENU dosage sharply reduce subsequent incidence of induced tumors ([Warkany et al., 1976]), through activation of AT (alkylguanine-DNA-alkyltransferase) enzymes that participate in DNA repair ([Stammberger et al., 1990]). Other studies with nonionizing (microwave) fields also suggest their actions in mechanisms of DNA repair. Modulation of levels of single-strand breaks in brain cell DNA has been reported following low-level, long-term microwave exposure in mice ([Sarkar et al., 1994]) and in acute experiments in rats ([Lai and Singh, 1995]).
6. Summary: intrinsic and induced electric fields as threshold determinants in central nervous tissue; the potential role of cell ensembles
The intact nervous system might be expected to be more sensitive to induced electric fields and currents than in vitro preparations, due to a higher level of spontaneous activity and a greater number of interacting neurons. However, these fields induced in the body are almost always much lower than those capable of stimulating peripheral nerve tissue ([Saunders and Jefferys, 2002]). Weak electric field effects, below action potential thresholds, have been demonstrated in in vitro brain slice preparations ([Faber and Korn; 1989]; [Jefferys, 1995]}.Behavioral sensitivities in sharks and rays may be as low as 0.5 nV/mm for tissue components of electrical fields in the surrounding ocean ([Kalmijn, 1971]), or 100 times below measurable thresholds of individual electroreceptor organs ([Valberg et al., 1997]).
Research in sensory physiology supports the concept that some threshold properties in excitable tissues may reside in highly cooperative properties of a population elements, rather than in a single detector ([Adey,1998, 2003a, 2003b]). Seminal observations in the human auditory system point to a receptor vibrational displacement of 10-11m, or approximately the diameter of a single hydrogen atom ([Bialek, 1983]; [Bialek and Wit, 1984]). It is notable that suppression of intrinsic thermal noise allows the ear to function as though close to 0 degree K, suggesting system properties inherent in the detection sequence. Human olfactory thresholds for musk occur at 10-11 M, with odorant molecules distributed over 240 mm2 ([Adey, 1959]). Human detection of single photons of bluegreen light occurs at energies of 2.5 eV ([Hagins, 1979]). In another context, pathogenic bacteria, long thought to function independently, exhibit ensemble properties by a system recognizing (12) colony numbers as an essential step preceding release of toxins. These quorum sensing systems may control expression of virulence factors in the lungs of patients with cystic fibrosis ([Erickson et al., 2002]).
Although far from a consensus on mechanisms mediating these low-level EMF sensitivities, appropriate models are based in nonequilibrium thermodynamics, with nonlinear electrodynamics as an integral feature. Heating models, based in equilibrium thermodynamics, fail to explain a wide spectrum of observed nonthermal EMF bioeffects in central nervous tissue. The findings suggest a biological organization based in physical processes at the atomic level, beyond the realm of chemical reactions between biomolecules. Much of this signaling within and between cells may be mediated by free radicals of the oxygen and nitrogen species. Emergent concepts of tissue thresholds to EMF sensitivities address ensemble or domain functions of populations of cells, cooperatively whispering together in intercellular communication, and organized hierarchically at atomic and molecular levels.

Hi ChrisCould you please give me the remedy for migraine headaches, my wife gets these consistently!! You had mentioned organic yogurt mixed with what I forget?? Thank-you
------------------Hi Gerry,
Here is a little compilation (not complete by any means) of remedies:
Making the Magnesium-Migraine Link
In addition to magnesium, get some live organic yogurt and add a capsule of Vitamin B100 complex plus add 100 mg of B2. Make sure it is not a tablet. Mix it thoroughly and let it sit overnight you can leave outside the fridge if you like, then eat it next morning. After a couple of weeks you could try removing the B2 as it already contained in the B100 complex.
One of the big problems is the ability to absorb magnesium. Often it not sufficient to just take any magnesium supplement. You need to try different types until you find one that is suitable to you.
"when taking magnesium for migraine don't buy a calcium/magnesium blend. If you're taking a calcium supplement, take it at another time of day. It can interfere with the benefits of the magnesium for migraine."
See: So just what is the magnesium migraines connection?
You can also get magnesium form pure cocoa....
"Epidemiological studies have reported that Western diets are often deficient in Mg. We investigated the ability of a cocoa-derived product, used in some European countries as a dietary complement added to milk, to aid recovery from chronic Mg deficiency in rats. The animals were divided into three groups, each of which received a different amount of dietary Mg. Rats in the Mg-deficient (D) group received an Mg-deficient diet (0.225 g Mg/kg food) during 8 weeks. In the cocoa-supplement group (D + CC), the rats consumed the Mg-deficient diet for 5 weeks, and were then switched for 3 further weeks to the same diet supplemented with 3% (wt/wt) cocoa product, so that the Mg content of the diet was 0.27 g/kg food. Rats in the control group (C) were given the same diet as in group D, except that the amount of Mg was 0.56 g Mg/kg food. We measured the concentration of Mg, Ca and P from ten rats in plasma, whole blood, skeletal muscle, heart, kidney and femur in rats that were fed the diets for 35, 42, 49 or 56 days. In animal fed the cocoa-supplemented diet (D + CC) significant improvements were found between days 35 and 56 in the alterations in Mg, Ca and P caused by Mg deficiency in all tissues studied. On day 56, kidney and bone concentrations of Mg and Ca had returned to normal. Our findings show that the habitual use of the cocoa product as a dietary supplement favors correction of the negative effects of long-term feeding with a diet moderately deficient in Mg."
"One very easy method of doing this involves cocoa. I'm not talking chocolate bars like Reeses or Mars or Nestle Crunch, but real baking cocoa. A bar of 80% cocoa works best. Take only a piece of the bar and bite into it; you will feel instant relief and feel better about the world. However, only take a piece. Cocoa at that amount can become very addicting in its own right, so less is definitely more here. That said, the results are great. You feel better, your mood improves and that headache goes away."

Finally, at long last here is an extensive update (of the 2003-08-19 original) that many have been requesting. Some additions are:
- Basic 220/240 Volt AC Circuit.
- A Simple auto pulsing Circuit.
- 12 V DC Operation
- High Power vs low power - discussion
- Polarity of Coil.
- Various other embellishments and updates - that should address many questions in the comments
- Pictures of the Original Device.
- Sites of interest.The full Beck protocol must be followed for the pulser to be effective.... Additionally the Blood electrifier should be modified with an extra battery as this has been found to be better with due to variations in skin thicknesses.
You can access the full Beck protocol via:

Stop all processed foods (this includes all vegetable oils (unrefined cold pressed oils such as organic Fax, olive (uncooked only) for salads, coconut and palm for cooking are the only exceptions) and most milk products, unless raw, rest are all adulterated. No breads unless cultured and made from stone ground grains! - Best to reduce carbohydrates and especially salt (but increase raw and cooked organic vegetables) and no artificial sweeteners. If you want a little sweetener go to totally unprocessed ones such as little unpasteurized honey and cane sugar. Take a little lugols iodine say a drop or two a day - don't overdo it.
Also note: dehydrated patients may not respond well to any type of therapy! Nearly all water has toxins in it! Best to use distilled to which a little magnesium has been added. Better to make herbal teas and/or drink fresh vegetable fruit juices
WARNING: This is an experimental device and uses 110/220/240 Volt AC mains voltage, build at your own peril. If not comfortable, have a someone familiar with electronics like a TV repairman build it for you.

August 22, 2007Cell Phones - Ear, Eye Damage, High Blood Pressure & More!
Further to: Em Fields On Brain Tumor Incidence - Chemicals And Cell Phones ... here is more incriminating data. This adds to the already copious data on the negative harm from EMF (Electro Magnetic Radiation). Just as EMF can help in some instances so can it harm if used inappropriately. The microwave 2.4 mhz as the 60 Hz* mains frequencies are one of the most harm full ones. Surely given the data, using safer frequencies and improving RF design and wiring could do much to improve matters!
* "Adey has also reported that certain frequency bands between 15-60 Hz have been found to promote cancers. Frequencies in this range have been found to alter cell protein synthesis, mRNA functions, immune responses and intercellular communication (Adey, 1992)."Extracted from bottom of page 23 of "The Electrical Properties of Cancer Cells" By: Steve Haltiwanger M.D., C.C.N.
Instead, the dependency of many to follow the loudest industry experts (shills), will either keep most in the dark or allow them to ignore and or deny the vast body of data no matter how strong, until it is too late. Then they will wonder why them should an injury occur???
Thanks to the untiring work of Martin Weatherall and others to keep us abreast of this important and largely avoidable health issue. For this very reason, given that I got along just fine prior to these critters, I have never owned a cell phone even when it was offered free at work. Further all WiFi devices in my home have been disabled and I use the plan old ethernet cable. Seems like refusal to use these devices is the only way to make the industry face this issue hence, forcing them to reduce exposure to all.

CANCER FEAR OVER ELECTRIC BLANKET (Original is here.)Wednesday April 25,2007
Emma Bamford
WOMEN who use electric blankets to keep warm at night could be more at risk of cancer of the womb, according to scientists.They say those who have ever used one are 15 per cent more likely to become victims than those who have not.
But for anyone who has regularly used them for 20 years or more, the risks increase to 36 per cent.
The scientists believe the reason may be that the blankets expose women to low levels of electro-magnetic radiation.
The findings add to the controversy about whether electro-magnetic fields in the home are dangerous.
A recent study found black women who used electric blankets for 10 years had a five times greater risk of breast cancer. But other studies found no such link in white women. Scientists at Wayne State University in Michigan came up with the latest findings after analysing data on 90,000 women.
The results, published in the European Journal of Cancer Prevention, showed 1,500 of them developed a tumour of the womb.
Once they had allowed for other risk factors, such as heavy drinking, being overweight and not having children, the experts found a significant link with the use of electric blankets. Womb cancer affects about 6,000 women every year in the UK, mostly over-50s.
