Senile by the age of 30 - Cell phone radiation dangers.
Date 2006/2/27 2:37:45 | Topic: Health
| A large study that was conducted in Europe shows frightening results: cellular phone radiation may cause protein leakage through the blood-brain barrier. The effects of this can be hazardous: serious damage to brain cells and memory loss that may lead to senility. According to Motorola, governments should stop wasting money on their search for defects.
An entire generation of teenagers may become senile at the peak of their lives due to cellular phone usage and other wireless technologies: these are the findings of the study published yesterday in Environmental Health Perspectives.
The study, based on intensive use of cellular phones, may cause apprehension in Western countries because it reveals new ways in which microwaves can affect our health.
Leif Salford, the researcher who led the study that was conducted at Lund University in Sweden, claims that the fact that we voluntarily expose our brain to cell phone radiation is ?the largest biological experiment in the history of the world.? Professor Salford fears that as the wireless technology becomes more popular people will "drown in a sea of microwaves.?
The study tested the leakage of albumin in the circulation of blood in the brain. Prior studies of the subject have focused on the possibility that cell phones heat brain tissue thereby causing cancer. But the many studies trying to determine whether cell phones cause cancer have not been conclusive.
Thus, the cell phone industry in the US has managed to minimize findings regarding cellular radiation effects, but now the World Health Organization has taken over the research.

Senile by the age of 30.
Mays Swicord, a scientific advisor at Motorola, one of the worlds largest manufacturers of cellular phones, told "New Scientist" magazine (September 2003) that governments should stop spending money on their search for defects.
But for 15 years Professor Salford and his team have been studying a totally different threat. Their previous studies proved that radiation may cause an opening of the barrier between the blood and the brain-allowing albumin. Their current study has been really productive because it has proven the leakage of albumin which may lead to severe brain damage.
Professor Salford says that the long-term effects are not clear yet, and there is a possibility that the neurons will reconstruct themselves over time. He also said that neurons that become senile by the age of 60 might now become senile at the age of 30 because of radiation. Professor Salford explained that that he has not published his study because he did not want to cause public panic. Professor Salford also admits that he is more than aware that cell phones also have a lot of advantages, for example in case of an emergency.
