Brain Tumor Rates Are Rising in the US: The Role of Cell Phone & Cordless Phone Use
The likelihood of developing a non-malignant brain tumor has increased in recent years in the U.S.
According to newly-released data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the overall age-adjusted incidence (per 100,000 persons) of non-malignant brain tumors significantly increased from 2004 through 2012.
The increase was observed among
children 0-19 years of age (1.7 in 2004; 2.3 in 2012)
adults 20 years and older (15.9 in 2004; 19.7 in 2012).
“After ten years of wireless phone use (i.e., cell phone plus cordless phone use), the risk of glioma doubles and after 25 years, the risk triples (Hardell et al, 2013).”
See the full report HERE from SaferEMR.COM
What this tells me is that if the RF Radiation from Smart Meters is similar to that of wireless phones then anyone living or sleeping close to a Smart Meter will also suffer an increased rate of glioma. (Ted)
Health Canada, our Provincial Government and Dr. Perry Kendall, our PHO, are NOT protecting us from today’s microwave radiation!
A letter from Jerry Flynn to BC Municipal and Regional Governments
June 17, 2015
Dear Municipal/Regional District Governments and UBCM,
Contrary to what Health Canada, the BC Government and BC’s Provincial Health Officer (PHO) , Dr. Perry Kendall tell us all, the unvarnished truth about today’s wireless radio products e.g., baby monitors, Smart Meters, Wi-Fi routers, cell phones, cell towers, cordless phones, tablet and laptop computers, GPS, AM and FM transmitting towers etc. can be seen below. The attachment is self-explanatory:
- On May 11, 2015, the International EMF Scientists Appeal, signed by more than 200 world-class scientists from 39 countries and sent to the Secretary General of the United Nations, to all UN member countries, and to the WHO appealed to all of them to protect humans and wild life from the dangers of EMF and wireless technology! http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/05/11/ny-emfscientistorg-idUSnBw115200a+100+BSW20150511
- Insurance companies WILL NOT INSURE against any health-related claim attributed to the radio / microwave frequency radiation emitted by today’s wireless radio devices!
- No President and Chief Executive Officer of any wireless or telecom company or any electric utility – anywhere – will state unequivocally that their wireless products are SAFE, i.e., they can be safely used by, on or around people of all ages and sizes, regardless of any illnesses and/or diseases they might already be suffering from, on a continuous basis all day, every day, in perpetuity — as Smart Meters, cell phone towers, Wi-Fi routers, AM and FM towers, cordless phones etc. do. These devices all emit pulsed, NON-thermal radiation 24/7/365 in perpetuity, and only Wi-Fi routers are capable of being shut off.
- But the above CEOs all do say that their products COMPLY with Health Canada’s Safety Code 6! It is critical that you fully understand the importance of this difference! Health Canada, the BC Government and BC’s PHO all allow the wireless and telecom industry and both electric utilities to sell and install their purportedly ‘safe’ wireless products simply because they COMPLY with Safety Code 6!
- Today’s Safety Code 6 dates back to 1979 and, sadly, has changed very little since then (which was almost 10 years before cell phones appeared en masse in Canada, and today there are in excess of 7-Billion cell phones world-wife!). Safety Code 6 is and always has been the root cause of what non-industry scientists consider is a crime against humanity! Because of Safety Code 6, innocent, unsuspecting and utterly defenseless people (including government members themselves and their families) are being literally forced – by law – to endure what has become, over these past 25 or so years, a dense, ever-thickening, yet invisible cloud of electro-magnetic radiation (EMR), which the World Health Organization has coined: “Electro-Smog.” Non-industry scientists the world-over consider this EMR to be the biggest single threat to human health in our planet’s entire history! Originally, Safety Code 6 was established to provide up to six (6) minutes’ protection to federal workers weighing, on average, 200 pounds, who needed to maintain or service high voltage transmission lines, power sub-stations etc. Yet, somehow, over these past 35-or so years, Health Canada has managed things such that the general population are now told that Safety Code 6 protects them from ALL sources of radiation – simultaneously, regardless of how many microwave-emitting devices may impact on a person, a family or an entire community! This is not right! This is knowingly dishonest! This is criminal! Imagine for a moment a Motor Vehicle Highways Department that sets the highway speed limit at, say, 300 MPH, knowing full well that automobiles cannot go that fast! Consequently, no vehicle can ever exceed the ‘legal’ speed limit! The same applies to wireless radio devices: because Safety Code 6 radiation Exposure Limits are so egregiously high, Health Canada and Industry artfully tell us all that their products are in compliance, and therefore they must be safe! Now perhaps the reader can understand why Safety Code 6 is, and always has been, vilified around the world by non-industry scientists and informed people everywhere!
http://www.magdahavas.com/pick-of-the-week-8-failed-attempt-to-reduce-safety-code-6-guidelines-in-1977/ - None of today’s wireless products has had to undergo independent, pre-market Safety tests to ensure they are safe to be used by, on and around people on a continuous 24/7/365 day basis in perpetuity! Eminent non-industry scientists say that no level of radiation is safe for people! Examples include: Anthony Miller, Professor Emeritus of the Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto, Dr. Neil Cherry of New Zealand (now deceased), two-time Nobel nominee Dr. Robert O. Becker (now deceased), Dr. Olle Johansson of the Karolinskaa Institute in Sweden. Others say: “If there is a SAFE level, we haven’t discovered it yet.”
- Even the cell phone industry’s own studies, in both the U.S. and Germany, showed their products are harmful to people – – and might lead to cancer!
- Most if not all major cell phone manufacturers have taken out global patents in which they themselves acknowledge their products are harmful and can cause or may lead to cancer!
- Every cell phone manufacturer includes in their Owner’s Manual specific instructions not to hold the device within a specific distance from any part of the body – not just the head!
- It is no accident that the so-called ‘safe radiation Exposure Limits reflected in Safety Code 6 are virtually identical to those of the USA. The specific group of scientists who determine the ‘Exposure Limits’ for the U.S. includes members of the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, Motorola, Nokia, Siemens, Alcatel-Lucent and Bell. All Canadians – governments and public alike – should note that the Co-Chairman of that very committee is Health Canada’s own Dr. Art Thansandote! A position he has held since at least 2008! Dr. James McNamee is also on it (and it was he who was the principle scientist responsible for the latest iteration of Safety Code 6-2015!) Other members include representatives from Health Canada, Industry Canada – – and Exponent Inc., the product-defense scientists who so effectively defended both BC Hydro and Fortis BC with respect to the ‘safety’ of their proposed wireless Smart Meters!
Readers needing more evidence should note the Federal Government of Canada’s own recent Parliamentary Health Committee (HESA) report on Safety Code 6, in April 2015. (See below).
Parliamentary Health Committee (HESA) Investigation into Safety Code 6, 2015.
(for the full version go to http://www.c4st.org/HESA2015). Highlights:
- Health Canada admits studies show harm at levels below Safety Code 6;
- Health Canada ignores the scientific research: its review is subject to bias and incorrect conclusions;
- Health Canada and Industry Canada ignore recommendations from the 2010 Health Committee “offer to provide information, including awareness sessions on exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation.”
- In its “fact sheet”, comparing Canada vs other countries, Health Canada omits countries representing 1.2 billion people with safety levels below Safety Code 6;
- Health Canada’s statements to the committee conflict with statements made under oath in Quebec Superior Court on Feb. 13th, 2013 (Dr. James McNamee had admitted to the judge in 2013 that Safety Code 6 applied only to THERMAL radiation!).
- Health Canada admits there are no studies regarding the cumulative effects of several devices from wireless radiation.
- Health Canada ignores the 2010 Health Committee recommendation to “ensure that it has a process in place to receive and respond to reports of adverse reactions to electromagnetic radiation emitting devices.”
- Health Canada resists the request to have a database that physicians may be asked to look at any kind of possible cause and effect on new cancers among people?
- Scientific expert calls for a special category for pregnant women.
- Health Canada advises that 36 of the 140 Studies submitted by C4ST WERE included in the 2015 Safety Code 6 – BUT WHERE?
Read HESA’s report concerning:
- Evidence of links to brain cancer;
- Evidence of links to breast cancers;
- Evidence that children are more at risk;
- Canadians feel deceived by product manufacturers and the government;
- Evidence of damage to sperm;
- Experts call for public education;
- Evidence for recognition of, and treatment for, electro-hypersensitivity (EHS).
Readers should recall that in 2010, British Columbia’s Bill 17 (the “Clean Energy Act”) was passed by Gordon Campbell’s government, which mandated that Smart Meters be installed on all dwellings and occupied buildings in B.C. Tragically, the Government of BC permitted B.C. Hydro to utilize wireless radio Smart Meters, which emit pulsed, NON-thermal microwave frequency radiation (called electro-magnetic radiation or “EMR”). One year later, in 2011, the World Health Organization (WHO) classified EMR – ALL EMR – a Class 2B or “Possible” carcinogen. Any reasonable person would have expected, given the WHO’s re-classification of EMR to that of a Possible Carcinogen, that BC’s Government would have repealed wireless radio Smart Meters and immediately ordered that wireless Smart Meters already installed be replaced with harmless, non-irradiating analogue meters. But that never happened! This is the government British Columbians have today. Consequently it falls to Municipal and Regional governments and to UBCM to wake up and stand up – – for every person, flora and fauna living in British Columbia! If you won’t protect us, who can?

If RF Radiation is so bad then why are we having so much trouble getting rid of it?
Many of us believe that radio frequency Radiation (RFRad) is causing many people, perhaps all people, harm. We are currently seeing an increase in sensitivity of RFRad in the form of EHS (Electro Hyper sensitivity) and various cancers. Many people feel no harm and are not sensitive but that does not necessarily mean there is no harm being done on a long term basis.
If we lived in a democracy and a large segment of the population expressed concerns about this problem then there would be major investigations and studies performed to determine the validity of the concerns and the extent of the problem. The understanding would be that “surely so many people cannot be crazy. surely there must be something going on that we do not understand”
If we lived in a democracy then our governments would proceed with the Precautionary Principle and would halt the ever increase in the levels of RFRad from Cell towers, Cell phones, wi-fi routers and Smart meters until it was clear that harm from RFRad was real and not just psychosomatic.
But we do not live in a democracy. It looks like a democracy from the outside and everyone calls it a democracy but it is not really a democracy.
Our Canadian governments and those of the USA are owned by the large corporations who have the money and intelligence to make the governments dance to corporation’s music.
The Corporation’s primary objective is to make money for their share holders and so, for a corporation to make money they have to do everything possible to do so. See the movie available on the internet – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Corporation_%28film%29
The Corporation is psychopathic. See the definition.
Federal governments are influenced in many ways to make life easier for the Corporations to make their profits, Lobbying is the term used and good old money is the currency. I have just found a very recent article published by the Guardian newspaper concerning how major US Corporations have given millions of dollars to various US Senators in order to fast track the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). Fast track is the term used to get the bill signed without due process of discussion and argument and understanding. It goes something like this: “Senator Rob XXXXX of the state of XXXX, vote to Fast Track this TPP bill and we will give your election campaign office $120,000. Agreed? Good?”. See the full article at this link.
http://www.theguardian.com/business/2015/may/27/corporations-paid-us-senators-fast-track-tpp
You should be aware of the TPP because Canada and 11 other countries are entering into this trade agreement that seems to be primarily to the benefit of the major corporations and NOT to the various governments and certainly not to the average citizen. And it seems that the details of the agreement are still secret. What? Our government is not letting us know what they are getting us into! What? We just might not agree with our government.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Pacific_Partnership
The reason I bring up the TPP and Corporations and the lack of Democracy is that this process is exactly the same as the Wireless business in Canada and the US. We, the citizens that are aware and are concerned, are not being listened to by the Corporations or by our elected Government departments – Health Canada being the major one. Why? It is because the Corporations have paid so much money to the governments that the Governments cannot change the rules now. I am not saying that in Canada that the Corporations are paying Senators or the political parties directly similar to what is happening in the US. The Canadian Government itself is receiving lots of money from all aspects of the wireless business: taxes on all sales, rent of wireless spectrum to the wireless companies (example – Canada wireless spectrum 2500 MHz Auction 2015 January netted about $750 million).
If the Canadian government were suddenly to change its policy and start listening to the concerned citizens and start to remove or limit the RFRAD devices then they would be forfeiting a huge portion of their income, which they have used to balance the federal budgets. We would all feel the pinch: hospitals, schools, the military.
So in my view, the current fight of the citizens concerned about the huge growth in the RFRAD and wireless business and electro pollution from Smart Meters, cell phones and the ubiquitous WiFi will continue until we have enough scientific evidence to prove in court that RFRad is actually damaging our health and that the federal government then must act to prevent further harm. This will cause major economic stress on the government but for the continued health of it citizens, it must be done. My guess is within 4 years from now we will see some major changes.

Bret Bocook died in March 2015 of a brain tumor caused by his use of a CELL PHONE
This was posted originally on Facebook = Citizens For Safe Technology by Karen Weiss
RIP Bret Bocook. Bret died in March 2015 of a brain tumor caused by his use of a CELL PHONE.
See this https://youtu.be/ueWg82tSnXE
Let’s help get his message out.
In this video Bret talks about many Telecom companies taking out patents for cellphone/antenna designs to lower RF exposure … and how this equates to absolute FOREKNOWLEDGE. That foreknowledge will someday translate to CRIMINAL offenses when the lawyers figure out this is going to be the biggest class action extravaganza in history.
I think that there will be a day in the near future when it is revealed in some way that ALL wireless manufacturers and distributors and federal governments knew and have known for years that the radiation from cell phones when commonly used pressed against the head, that they may cause BRAIN CANCER; that they WILL cause BRAIN CANCER in a portion of the users.
This is the case of FOREKNOWLEDGE and I expect that this will be grounds for pressing CRIMINAL charges against the various companies and governments and the executives and technical staff and even the owners of property on which cell phone towers (masts) have been erected. There are so many entities that are complicit in this problem.
When this dam of denial breaks then there will be many major class action suits launched and won. Lloyds of London has already served notice that they want none of this and have stopped insuring anything that is connected with RF radiation which includes CELL PHONES. They know what is coming. If the retail insurance companies also step out of the line of insurance payment then who will pay for the damage? The wireless companies will dig deep and pay and then declare bankruptcy. This is going to be a financial blood bath. Will the various government pass laws that will prevent any claims because thee will be too much economic turmoil. Maybe. They will do what they have to to keep the ship afloat.
The biggest impact will be on the economy when ALL wi-fi and Cell phones will be now used a very limited way. It is going to be very interesting. No more free wi-fi in the coffee shops or schools or in the work place. No more cell towers built on hospitals and tall apartment buildings. No more seeing people walking down the street glued to their smart phone. Actually, I think that this may be viewed as a very positive step.
And that will not be the end of the story. If cancers caused by Cell phone usage takes 10-20 years to be diagnosed then there will be a huge wave of cancers in 2025-2035 that will swamp the health providers and the various health plans. There are some important studies that predict this just like cancers from tobacco and asbestos.
If you thought that the fight against tobacco and its link to cancer was long and tortuous then just watch this fight, which is going on right now, against Cell phones and other RF Radiation devices which are linked to cancer.

Cell Phone Dangers – Dr. Devra Davis
Published on Apr 25, 2012
In an address to National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), Dr. Davis provides a state of the art science review and concludes that current evidence indicates that cellphone radiation has biological impacts. She summarizes technical studies relying on lab specimens, animals and exposure modeling of children and adults. She also features case reports on young women with unusually located breast cancers who kept phones in their bras and developed tumors located under the phone antennas.
