RADIATION INDUCED BRAIN CANCERS LINKED TO CELL PHONES

Cell phones can and do cause cancer. The problem is the radiation emitted from the cell phone and close proximity with the human body. Recent Senate Hearings on cell phones and the link to radiation induced brain cancers, shed light on the flaws in cell phone design. By not blocking radiation from entering the human body the designed is flawed and should be changed immediately. All old style cell phones should be recalled and replaced with new designed cell phones with built in radiation shielding.

The risk of developing brain tumors and cancers is higher in children and teens than adults. The brain structure is softer in children and teens which allow almost double the penetration of radiation an adult would experience. This will lead to 4 or more times cancers in children and teens. In the Senate Hearings they discussed putting a age limit on cell phones like the one now on cigarettes, it's that bad.

What you can do now to reduce your risk is to invest in radiation shielding devices for your cell phones. This is only a intermittent solution till new research and designs are implemented. You can reduce your time on cell phones and avoid contact with your body. It seems if you wear one on your hip unshielded, you risk prostate or ovarian cancer. Again it's a radiation emitting device in contact with your body.

Young children should not be allowed to play with cell phones. Shielding and limiting the use, or time on them should be discussed between a responsible adult and child. Children's risks are much greater of getting cancer with cell phones. Restricting the use for children until shielded phones are produced is the safest.

Radiation can and does cause cancer. It effects us in our technology and immediate universe. NASA has developed radiation shielding for space exploration. The military has developed radiation shielding systems for it's nuclear submarines and operations. Nuclear power plants operate with radiation shielding systems. Developing radiation shielding for cell phones should be very simple, adding very little cost to the cell phones.

All new tech devices that emit radiation should be tested, and radiation shielding should be in the design before being released to the public. Cell phones are not going away, and technology will continue forwards. We need to learn and implement radiation shielding design changes, for the safety of the human species. We live in a great age, a little common sense would go a long way to insuring our safety.

ARKANSAS RADIATION INDUCED CANCERS LINKED TO FALLOUT FROM NUCLEAR TESTING

Here in Arkansas with an extremely high rate of radiation induced cancers, the survivors of these cancers asked me to find the source of radiation that caused their cancers. Radioactive fallout from the 1950's nuclear weapons tests in Nevada and New Mexico spread throughout most of the nation. But the hottest spots were in the Midwest and Northwest, according to government projections.

The hot spots in ARKANSAS are BAXTER, BENTON, FULTON, INDEPENDENCE, JACKSON, MADISON, and WASHINGTON counties.

Data, was compiled by the National Cancer Institute as part of a federal study over a decade ago. It was the first to show high exposure rates outside Nevada and Utah. Some of the highest doses of fallout were received by milk drinking children here in Arkansas. The fallout contaminated the grass which the dairy cows ate, and the radiation was concentrated in the milk.

From earlier studies, exposure rates were highest in 12 states east and north of the Nevada desert: Arkansas, Missouri,Nevada,Utah, Wyoming, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Idaho, Montana, and Colorado. Thousands contracted radiation induced cancers.

Because the total exposure was tied to such factors as weather patterns and milk-consumption rates, some hot spots, were isolated. Here in Arkansas most of us know how a thunderstorm can rain on one side of the street and the other side of the street be dry. Also at the time of the fallout there were a lot of milk cows and dairies here in Arkansas.

Exposure in hot spot counties was average up to 160 rads for children. At 10 rads exposure the Federal government recommends people be monitored by a doctor. Adults averaged 16 rads, and neither children nor adults were monitored or informed of their exposure.

Not wanting to raise fears or anxiety or be paid federal compensation for the high exposure of fallout like the residents of Utah were, Arkansas with high exposure of fallout and other states were put on the back burner. Maybe the thought was if they don't know about it, by time they find out most of the cancer victims will be deceased.

The handling of these nuclear incidents was either ineptitude or extraordinary contrived efforts to withhold information. Probably both. Some of the first words the cancer survivors here heard from their doctors after being diagnosed with radiation induced cancers were, "Have you been exposed to Radiation"?

I believe we need to notify all citizens in the affected areas immediately with full disclosure. Then test all schools, colleges, and public gathering places in the affected areas. Then start testing areas with the highest cancer rates, until all private and public land is tested in the affected areas. If nothing comes out of it, then it's a good exercise in Home Land Security.

Hot spots if any need to be identified and monitored. Perhaps if we do this we can end the cycle of multi-generational radiation induced cancers in these areas. I want to know is my home and property radioactive? You wouldn't want to put a child's sandbox or swing over a hot spot, and without testing we do not know.

If the fallout happened today in the 12 states that are considered affected with hot spots, and it was a terrorist attack It would be the worse attack on US soil in history, it would make 9/11 look small and would be monitored for decades, if not centuries. Again it is a remarkable demonstration of ineptitude to not test and monitor the residents or inform them of the events in the areas affected.
