According to a study by Dr. George Carlo in Australasian Journal of Clinical Environmental Medicine, the signals emitted by Wi-Fi routers cause metals to be trapped in brain cells, thereby accelerating the onset of autism. I’m not quite sure how Wi-Fi singnals are the significant culprits here — unless they have 50 kids in faraday cages with 802.11G routers strapped to their heads — but this finding is sure to make the rounds of the local evening news tonight (”Something in your living room may be giving your child autism — a Fox 5 Scranton special report tonight at eleven!”)
While this news is stirring around in the metals in your brain, also understand that Dr. Kenneth Foster, another researcher stated:
“Health agencies such as the World Health Organisation have repeatedly examined the scientific evidence and concluded that there is no convincing evidence for hazard from radiofrequency energy at levels below these international guidelines.”
Who are we to believe? Oh, God! Think of the children!
Autism is evolution. Why doesn’t anyone suspect that the suburban middle class in America is breeding retards through natural selection? A race of middle managers living in subdivisions who repress what little natural and creative gifts bestowed upon them by their ancestors doesn’t have a strong reproductive impetus for the production of physically and mentally robust children. For the future, the corporate machine needs compliant, obsessive automatons immune to the mental defects of anxiety and depression endemic in box office-complex, and nature has finally responded. Autistic children, genetically endowed to thrive for decades in an environment of fluorescent lights and CRT screens.They are the Morlochs. The future is here.
Exploiting desperate parents of autistic kids has been a cottage industry for two decades. Tenured professorships, grant money, book deals, speaking engagements, TV appearances, press interviews, articles, prestige… there are a lot of chips on the table, and a lot of people want them.
It is a real center http://www.acnem.org/ it is the Australasian College of Nutrition and Environmental Medicine.
The real truth is that Barney the Purple Dinosaur has caused all of the increase in autism rates. Think about it…before Barney, was autism this prevalent? No….
Or maybe Al Gore invented it….

Microwaves (from cell phones) and radio waves are not the same thing. The frequencies, and thus the wavelengths, are completely different, by a factor of a thousand or so (depending on where you draw the line).
I’m surprised by the general public attitude of thinking these things must be safe. Or worse, that there is not evidence for any effect, good or bad, or – even worst – that this is something to be taken lightly.
Persson, Salford, Brun (1997) published studies showing that gigahertz (microwave) radiation actually increases the permeability of the blood-brain barrier, short circuiting one of brain’s protection mechanism. Choice quote from the study: “The frequency of pathological rats is significantly increased (p < 0:0001) from … control rats … in all exposed rats.”
That was ten years ago. Last year a paper was published in the Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow & Metabolism – a subsidiary of Nature, one of the most respected journals in science – showing that metabolic activity changed upon exposure to cell phones, in a very suspicious way – the sign was opposite to what you would expect from just heat, and other regions of the brain were affected as well. (I can’t find the citation, thought it was on my computer …)
I don’t know the answer, but I’m suggesting that this is no small thing, and the glib tone of the original post (and a fair number of the follow ups) is disconcerting, to say the least. History is filled with examples of people’s use technology causing great harm before they fully understood it, from the ancient Roman’s copious use of lead, to Victorian England’s fascination with sniffing arsenic (!), to the cancerous disasters of early experiments with radiation, and so on.
Yes, we love our cell phones, and wi-fi is great. But if these are harmful – and they may be, and almost certainly they are not biologically inert – wouldn’t you want to know?
ps – I’m a biophysics researcher, and work in blood flow and metabolism …
The sharp increase in autism is entirely due to a change in what is classified as autism. Children diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome are now considered autistic. Other disorders now fall into the spectrum of autism as well. So I believe this alarm over a dramatic increase in autism over the last 10 years is nothing but a scam to get government funding.
My 9 year old son has AS (Asperger’s Syndrome) which is a subset of Autism. My 2 other boys, 6 and 14 are ok. We thought it was related to innoculations at birth… this is scary. I run a major home network with many (many) servers and wireless devices in the home. I have for the past 4 years at least. My God.
Does this story have any tangible evidence? Anything I can actually research? If this is apparent, there should have been sufficient warnings on said devices, or research before allowing residential usage of the product.
Please advise, anyone out there.
Humble regards,

john doe posted — “I think there’s more evidence that Federal funding causes autism. At least around here. Those school districts that get funding for each case of autism found seem to find a lot more cases than those that don’t. Also, they can “cure” autism with enough speech therapy, it turns out. At least that’s how OUR school system works.”
Sadly, this same ‘major increase’ happened at the beginning of the ‘discovery’ of ADD (attention deficiet disorder). Suddenly (after schools were getting funding to ‘identify, process, and treat’ it in their programs (meaning lots of extra government funding)… they were crying “wolf”.. er, “ADD” any time a kid twitched.
While we do live in an ‘energetic’ sea of signals these days, I’m not so certain WiFi is the culprit. I’d be more inclined to look at the hundreds – if not thousands – of chemicals, additives, hormones, and preservatives in every thing a kid eats, drinks, and brushes their teeth with. Though the government gives the ‘A-okay’ to all those products & foods due to their ‘acceptable limits’ of percentages and ‘low level contamination effects’….. being subjected to them day in and day out is a heck of alot more likely.
We discovered by accident that WiFi was having a direct impact on the health of my son. We correlated this with blood work that related directly to his pineal gland, which is known to be effected by WiFi.
WiFi is dangerous technology. In the 80’s 1 in 25,000 children had autism. When Cell Phones and Wireless tech was introduced, the number has been jumping massively every year since.
Unfortunately most of the worlds population seems to be “Asleep” and unable to correlate their turkey sandwhich much less any causation of illness. It is a sad society we live in that people people are so addicted to their little stupid techno-toys that they can’t even correlate the health impact. WAKE UP!
Join the Yahoogroup “EMFREFUGEE”, you can find the actual scientific report posted there, and talk to Dr. Carlo Himself.
You are KILLING YOUR CHILDREN if you are exposing them to WiFi, especially when they are sleeping at night. TURN OFF YOUR WIRELESS before it is too late!
To follow up with Zorro,
Devices at 2.4Ghz
802.11b, 802.11g, 802.3 mesh, BLUETOOTH , Consumer wireless phones,
consumer and commercial Microwave Ovens, Various PC and MAC CPU clocks/mother boards.
We are all awash in RF and this is just 2.4 Ghz !
There is no way to point the finger at one type of device or frequency range
(remember it use to be 900 Mhz). Lets get really paranoid.. what about all the Satellite broadcasts ! 900Mhz to 15Ghz aimed straight at us 1000s of watts combined !(Wait ! that’s what’s heating the atmosphere).
Anyway the WiFi and cell is only killing the bees ..yea right, there are a lot anti-technology accusations out there.
Tim, regarding your figures, two of us so far have offered evidence to refute your assertion (i.e., that the autism spectrum has been continually expanded to include more and more, thus by extension increasing the number of autism “diagnoses”).
You also mention “correlation.” As any student of science will tell you, correlation does not mean causation. Causation is often incredibly difficult to prove, whereas correlation is not. However, correlation can very often be a spurious relationship, and that’s why we don’t give studies based on correlation alone much credence.
I am sorry to hear about your child, though, and you have my thoughts and prayers as you deal with that.
As it turns out, most of the autistic kids parents had cars in the garage.
In fact, most of the children had rooms directly above the garage.
As we all know, cars have circuits that are electrically charged all the time — the engine management, the radio, the ABS and even the airbag system remain active even after the key is turned off. For Gods sake, I can even light a cigarette in my Ford when the key is OFF !!!
Obviously, the cause of the autism is the wide spectrum produced by EM emissions in the 886Mhz to 2.8Ghz range and it’s a dark conspiracy covered up by the auto industry for decades — well at least since the early 90’s when cars changed a bit electrically.
The microwave was ruled out as a 2.4Ghz source due to the fact that the parents of autistic kids generally produce home cooked meals….Although, more studies should be conducted and we’re considering class action suits against GE and other small appliance manufacturers.
Government action is needed immediately, so please lobby your congressmen for funding for our newly founded pork barrel study.
It’s not too late people…..Think of the Children !!!!
I heard that reptile aliens are protecting Earthlings from the harmful health effects that cell phone towers and WiFi cause. So no need to protect yourself from being bombarded by non-thermal electromagnetic radiation — the aliens will protect us! And if they don’t, the Bilderbergers will! Hurray!
In a word — yes, this type of radiation causes an increase in brain tumors, leukemia, and breat cancer — this is already proven as FACT FACT FACT. Whether it causes autism was still up in the air, but apparently this may be added to the list now.
Do you own research. There’s plenty of it out there. Most of the independent research is from Europe and New Zealand. Check it out. You know how to use the Internet, don’t you?
Of course, I’m an excellent scientist.
The hopeless will find comfort in the insanity of this story….don’t immunize your kids, don’t drink coffee, don’t chew gum and walk at the same time. If you do you will hurt your child. Fearmongering at its best
My eight year old niece has a form of Autism (started when she was 2). Best guess the doctors can figure is that either, (mercury, very low dose) used as a preservative in kids initial immuniziations, caused an imbalance of metals in her brain chemistry, which arrests (or retards) the proper growth and functioning of neural pathways in the brain. Or Two–they have no bloody clue.
Bottom Line: With all the people, living, playing or walking by high power lines, cell phone towers, airfields, etc, it is highly doubtful that it is the primary cause of autism. Otherwise a lot (millions more) would be autisic. The common link between all children, is that we inoculate them for all sorts of pathogens at even earlier and earlier age. Perhaps Autism is simply a reaction, in a small percentage of the population, to foreign compounds entered into the body an an early age. I think at this point, most doctors still do not know.
My 2 cents.
Wi-fi as you know it operates in the 2.4 Ghz band, as well as many other devices such as microwave ovens, cordless phones, baby monitors and all kinds of stuff.
If you have a microwave oven in your home and are ok with that, then you have nothing to worry about. The center frequency for microwave ovens is 2450 MHz (2.45GHz). open the door and look at the sticker. This is channel 9 in the 802.11b/g, which is why you do not put a wifi radio near a microwave and why you do not use channel 11 near them either. They are too close together and the microwave wins. at 1000 – 1500 WATTS as opposed to 10-100 milliwatts…
Ive been doing this for a living for 10 years doing offices, hospitals, anything you can think of. If anybody should be dead by now it would be me and my co-horts.
Get a grip folks. Incidentally, the ISM band stands for Industrial, Scientific and Medical. If it is safe enough to put in a hospital…
If you folks had any idea how much RF you were subjected to in a day, you wouldn’t go outside, and that wouldn’t do any good either.
Crunchgear picked up on Drudge… nice one.
These studies are becoming more common. These communication industries are self-regulating and are clearly causing injury and ill-health. A century from now we will look back and see how destructive this “Age of Chemicals and radio radiation” caused a lot of heartache and cancer. The pharma industry is just as bad with it’s dangerous statin drugs and vaccines that are chock full of mercury, viral components, aluminum, MSG and deactivated viruses that do nothing to prevent illness but everything to fatten their wallets.
Probably thought up by the same wackos pushing the global warming nonsense.
rubbish! Drudge report will print anything!
The study is not about correlations between Wi-Fi and autism. It’s about
*curing* autism by removing all microwave sources (try curing autism by taking the car out of the garage) and detoxing heavy metals.
This is scary and this is real. Check out Salford 2003. If you know about Alzheimer’s you’ll see that Salford created Alzheimer’s in rats after a single 1 hour cell phone call. Our brains are bigger so it takes longer.
We are in serious trouble folks. Happy Thanksgiving.
Here’s a little something to wrap your mind around: I have an autistic child. From the time he was born up until the time he was diagnosed, we had no Wi-Fi and no cell phones in our house. In fact, he was never really exposed to any of those things for the first 3-4 years of his life and the symptoms of his autism emerged before the age of 2. I also have a NT (neuro-typical) child 11 months older than him, for the record…
I also know of several autistic children who were never vaccinated. Go figure!
well, this story did start in Scranton. Nothing ever happens there. Just the news trying to gin up some ratings. lol.
Kelly is correct, these will be remembered as the “Dark Years”, when we let technology directly impact our health in a negative way and were largely ignorant of what was happening.
WiFi is particularly malefic in the way it works. It pulses at a constant specific rate and never lets up, and is designed for maximum range and penetration. Whereas a Microwave oven dramatically reduces its effect as you walk further away from it. Most importantly, a Microwave isn’t pulsing you while you sleep for 8-12 hours a night, the most important time for our bodies. There have already been studies showing the radiation from Wireless routers is the equivalent of an actual cell phone tower in your living room. The simply fact is, they are hiding the impact of this techs under the guise that it doesn’t have a thermal impact on the human body. Completely ignoring a wealth of evidence of the non-thermal aspects on human physiology.
The quantitative rise in things like cancer, autism, CFS, MS, FM, hypertension, depression, and many other ailments can be directly linked in a timeline to the exact rise in ambient radiation and frequencies bombarding the human body. All of the evidence is there, but we’re fighting incredibly powerful industry bodies working together to prevent adequate dissemination of this data. Anyone with any knowledge of the human biology knows that it is simply a very bad idea to keep ratcheting up these frequencies year after year. The human biology is not compatible with these technologies, this is a fact.
Cell phone companies are now including clauses in their contracts that forbid a user from filing a lawsuit against them for “Health Ramifications” from using their technology. If they weren’t so concerned with the health impact of their technology, why are they so concerned with exclusions to take away your rights when those health impacts are realized? Simple, they’ve already done the studies, they know the risks, but they don’t want YOU to know the risks. When was the last time you bought a piece of technology at the store and had to sign a disclaimer saying you indemnify the manufacturer of that tech from any negative health impact on yourself? This is unprecedented folks, and amounts to an admission that they know the technology is dangerous.
The facts are all out there, the established corporate and government entities won’t be the one to disseminate the information, it will ultimately fall into the hands of normal people. There is simply too much money tied up in this industry to let the truth be known. There are millions of dollars being thrown around to influence studies, and silence critics. Ultimately, it is ordinary people that will suffer the consequences of all of this, and they can’t claim ignorance because the data has already been known by many of us – for decades.
I feel some concern about this issue…But as an uneducated individual I must say that it would seem to me that there is the same sort of potential in the electrical currents that vibrate through our walls.
Drudge already shut down this link, and is pointing to a more reputable news site.

PLEASE!! Be very careful. When you put out ideas with faulty research (which it sounds like at best this is correlation…not actual link) such as the ideas that thimerisol in shots caused autism, people grasp at it and believe it. I have worked with autistic children for eight years, and the best we can say is that it has some neurological basis. There are so many ideas out there, and parents are looking for a cause…this does more harm than good. Read the research…can it be duplicated? Were the studies controlled? Can this induce autism symptoms in the forms that are acutally seen in day-to-day existance? Chances are this is not good research. Still, parents and others will jump on the bandwagon, and the federal government will again get involved. Rather than spreading theory, look into actually doing some good. Don’t harm these children or families anymore by spreading nonsense.
But that is a load of bullocks. Extraordinary claims take extraordinary evidence and your claim that “The facts are all out there” but hidden by governments and corporations has zero credibility. Prove it you idiot. None of you ramblings prove causality.
ROFL@ “Global Warming Nonsense”
What a bunch of ignorant monkeys
Gary Taubes in his Sept 16, 2007 NY Times article “Do we really know what makes us healthy?” highlights the problem with observational studies that purport to show a cause and effect when in fact the results from such studies can only generate hypotheses to be tested, not conclusions. The result is a lot of junk science and results that only mislead and potentially harm people. The best example is how women and their doctors were misled by the epidemiologic evidence to believe, wrongly, that hormone-replacement therapy would protect most women against heart disease. Only a randomized, controlled clinical trial can generate the kind of information that can answer these questions.

Dr Andrews recieved his information from probably dozens of reports AND testimony by whistle blowers. What he wrote isn’t a load of bullocks it’s derived from a growing body of evidence, a body that is growing far faster than evidence to the contrary. AS FAR AS MERCURY IN VACCINATIONS is concerned, when a link was discovered the CDC had all thimerosol removed from vaccinations. The problem is that many of the stocks lingered on until they were used up. Use of this preservative builds up the mercury levels in your body far beyond that approved by the EPA in an average adult. Now imagine 50 or more vaccinations in the average child before the age of 5 and the incredible load of mercury, MSG, aluminum and formaldhyde and tell me there aren’t going to be health effects including autism. Vaccinations en masse literally poison us and our children. Microwaves do the same. The frequency of your waveoven and your phone are the same!!!
I have dizzyness and confusion after using cell phones (I cannot use it), close to people using cell phones and experience other strange health problems with WiFi, and cell phone masts.
I have no doubt that microwaves are very bad for me, and
I supposse that for other people
Van Klitzing in 1995 proved that cell phones affect EEG and Gomez-Perretta proved in 2004 that wireless technology causes depression, anxiety, fatigue,..
Some doctors believe that I could had heavy metals in the brain and it causes this symptoms, it is possible that I have been vaccinated and I ate seafood and canned seafood during years.
Can leave…. now.
Kidding- stick around, your posts are KAY-RAY-ZAY!
I’ve got two autistic kids. Both were born before the boom of wireless technology, and I certainly didn’t have any in my house.
The story is crap.
I wholly disagree with this. I believe there ARE health concerns from Wi-Fi, but I have no doubt autism is vaccine-related (or at least vaccine-triggered.) I have an autistic 5 year old who received a Hep-B shot when he was about 4 hours old. Since I never knew him “unvaccined,” I can’t say for sure if it was the cause, but there is no way a 1-day-old needs to be injected with something intended to prevent a condition transmitted via IV drugs and unprotected sex. This kid was not going to an opium orgy any time soon, so why risk his health with an unnecessary injection?
losing a bit of credibility here
it’s kinda like that fox news crap about foot baths the other day,
or the ‘angel light’ hoax guy
i’d still like to know what gov agencies actually promote hoaxes. (fake websites/whatnot)
I guarantee less than 5% of the posters on this site have taken a college level science course.
The sad thing is that people in this country have such low level of critical thinking that anyone claiming to be a scientist can show up in the media and claim anything (e.i. global warming naysayers) and the vast majority of Americans believe him/her.
They need to seriously teach science and logic in schools. Education is the only answer.
Wi-Fi is the major culprit causing today’s global warming problems. The supersonic, cryogenic, crypton rays emitted by Wi-Fi cannot be felt by humans but will actually melt ice and disable the Catalytic converters on all SUV’s which in turn omit huge amounts of CO 2.
It has also been determined that these same rays are emitted from President Bush when he speaks. Thus he is also to blame for global warming, and ultimately the recent fires in California.
There is also mounting evidence that President Bush inadvertently while praying to God out loud, actually hit some clouds circling a low pressure area which caused a hurricane to form. He was also able to direct this storm with his oral Wi-Fi rays to strike the city of New Orleans. There is also a theory that the dams that busted which caused the massive flooding were caused by “racist” Wi-Fi rays which conceivably could have also been emitted by the President.
Even though there has been no direct evidence linking President Bush to the 9/11 attacks on the WTC, it has been speculated that the Wi-Fi rays from President Bush could very well have disrupted the instrument readings from 4 different aircraft that day, causing three of them to hit pre-determined targets. The 4th plane which did not strike its intended target did not do so only because the President was forced to face West towards mecca to pray to allah.
Recent evidence also suggest that Wi-Fi rays are known to cause cancer in laboratory rats who also used Saccharin to sweeten their corn flakes.
However, there are also some contradictory evidence presented last month at the UN. There it was decided that Wi-Fi rays do not kill people, but guns do. The NRA promptly responded by showing large amounts of evidence that guns don’t kill people, but dirt-bag, scum, punks actually pull the trigger causing the gun to fire.
Lastly, on a more positive note, last week Congress voted to utilize Wi-Fi rays to repel the massive infestation of illegal aliens crossing the Mexican border. Congressman Ray Gun from Texas said, “I hope those damn things work better than the mosquito repellant things that use propane, cause we are absolutely getting our asses stung down here.” After hearing the news that the U.S. was to begin utilizing Wi-Fi to stop the invasion, Mexican President Felipe Calderone and former Mexican President Vincente Fox announced that it was no longer going to supply the Linksys Corporation with cheap labor. They also dropped their stock options held with the company.
Bet the trial lawyers are behind this study. Keep the wi-fi connected. You too could win the jackpot from the coming class action suit.
Most of the commentors are making such a hostile response to these findings, and suddenly talking about the World Health Organization like it’s Green Peace. The World Health Organization is a division of the United Nations. You’re actually going to take the results that the infamously lazy W.H.O. publishes seriously? The only worse health organization active in North America would have to be the U.S. F.D.A..
This evidence is part of a series of studies showing that electrical activity can be linked to mental anxiety and other mental disorders. Try sleeping with a plug-in blanket for a month, and then try to argue your point. There’s ample evidence, and I GUARANTEE you that the parties responsible for this research have no stake in a ban on Wi-Fi.
As for the liberal-conservative crap the rest of you are pushing, just shut up.
In 1988 Apple Computer had all the data on the wireless transmissions and power level run through it’s R&D PHD corp and at that time there was a single potential problem that surfaced and that was under only High Power use with the device on the Ear did it transfer enough power to potential effect the liquid in the eyes of the user. That power level is 10,000 times the power of todays handi. I think it is as the group concluded that the SUNs output per minute on the flesh of human is way beyond the effect of these current devices let just drop it. There is a great emmitter and wifi is not it.
This is just more of the electrosmog histeria going around by people who are afraid of everything. There is really no crediable research to suggest wi-fi harms anything. Most of it (like most all junk studies) are based on what are observed corrilations. Like if I do A than B happens even though C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, etc are also going on around me. No body knows the cause of autism or cancer everything really is speculation. Like eat fried foods and you get cancer, or mercury in shots causes autism. Its all based on thin evidence. Its like saying water causes cancer because everyone who has cancer at one point drank or came into contact with water. If you want to be afraid of everything then go right ahead, it just shows how safe we are in life that we have to concot things to be scared of. Of couse you could let that fear instilled by others lead you to do things like use chelation therapy on your kids and kill them as has happened so very often. I say that if you took 100,000 kids, raised then in a cave isolated from all outside singnals, etc that they would develop autism or cancer about the same rate as the general public.
Greetings,tech-yuppie idiots ,Dr. Becker, in 1985 published, “the Body Electric”, and a ground breaker, “Cross currents,the perils of Electro pollution in 95, he has been twice nomenated for the Nobel……At 63,I have watched,” no danger from ciggerettes, Flouride is good for you , mercury amalgams fillings won’t hurt, Agent Orange(herbicides) cause no health problems,metals (Aluminium) in deodorents
cauce no cancer or altzheimers senility, Depleated Uranium won’t cause cancer and birth defects nor harm people or soldiers.fuel additives are good.
Now comes Wireless and WiFi–WiMax and because modern life will not continue using A.Bell’s harmless and safe cradle phone and fiberoptics and superconducted signals, We now sentence children and young adults and all the rest to massive cell wall destroying radiation as electro-smog and a literal basket of distructive health issues for “CONVIENCE”, Research Cell phone dangers via Google and you little yuppie brains will be enlightened ,if not just keep dooming our children
for the scientific ignorance of of modern life and the corporate bottom line ,Profit befoe health.
God help the children ! As for you yups and Xers..don’t count on reaching my advanced age of 63, you wimaxers will be long gone…….Gar-uns tees
I have an autistic son who is now 17 yrs. old. He was born before the breakthrough of the cell phone and Wi-Fi. Let’s just say for example that this story is true, many tests currently done to check the brains of autistic people such as CT, MRI, and EEG use these same types waves to perform their tasks. I have never noticed an increase in my son’s autism after having these tests performed.
I don’t agree with the person who thinks people with autism are people without feelings who are so void of experience that they seem robotic and unattainable. My son, though he will never say I love you with words comes up to me almost every day to give me a hug and a kiss. How many of you husbands do this to your wifes or children.
Anyway, keep posting things about autism be it wrong info. or right, at least the word of autism will still be out there and perhaps the right person will hear it and find a REAL way to make a difference – To the man with the servers in his house, don’t beat yourself………your sense of guilt will never be the cure for your child. Rather you are blessed to have this remarkable person in your lives.
Thanks for the news.
Hrmmm …. believe the United Nations … or believe a researcher …
The same UN which just happens to support every racket which takes money from successful, achieving nations, and gives it to the dictators of nations so they can then go to the red light districts of the acheiving nations. The same UN which cat-al-gore-ically denies that the sun has anything to do with global warming, while they continue to spout climate data which has since been corrected by the data collectors to not supprot their position. The same UN which has finally announced that they overblew all the AIDS numbers because it meant more money flowing from successful countries to flea ridden dictators.
Or a researcher, who probably doesn’t stand to make money from this, …
hmmmmmm … He could really make a lot of money if he blamed the metal accumulation on global warming, or he could get a book tour if he blamed George Bush.
But then again, its good to know that if I need a collection of metal, I can harvest someone’s brain.
rainman, you are of course obviously also a comedian
The posts on this website are absolutely astounding. Has anyone noticed that the Dr.’s and Ph.D’s who weigh in on this say that yes, there is certainly evidence that microwave radiation KILLS NEURONS in your brain? (I’m currently working an Ph.D., by the way, as a physicist studying the brain.)
In fact, the mechanism (or one of the mechanisms?) is pretty well understood, as has been mentioned on multiple posts. Radiation increases the permeability of the blood brain barrier, allowing toxins through, most notable albumin, which cause measurable pathologies in mammalian brains.
Google “Nerve cell damage in mammalian brain after exposure to microwaves from GSM mobile phones,” (Salford, et. al. 2003) and you will find one of the papers discussing this. It’s not a joke, it’s not junk science. It’s a real effect that has been studied for over a decade.
Yes, there is junk science out there. Yes, there are other factors at work. This is the reality of the difficulty of Biology – there are so many variables at work, and the “noise” (actual real biological variation) is astounding.
As for this particular link – yes, Matt Drudge is a muckraker. (In other news, water is also wet.) And I have no idea if the study that started the thread is legitimate.
But the general ignorance, sarcasm, meaner-than-thou, and completely callous attitude (it seems people have stopped caring about killing or hurting other?) is taking us in the wrong direction. And growing chasm between those who know, and could help, and those who are willfully and damagingly both ignorant and self-righteous, is bringing us to a place that, I think if most people thought about it, we don’t want to be.
Most people actually want health. And most people want peace (or peace of mind). I’m pretty sure this is true. The basis for this – aside from compassion – is understanding. Mosts of the posts are sorely lacking on both accounts.
Stop YELLING. Start thinking.
