One of the first indications of dementia - and a common side effect of frequent 'cordless' cell and portable phone use - is memory loss. French researchers have found that the abnormal proteins found in Alzheimer's cases always deposit in the hippocampus first. Cell phone radiation is directly implicated in forming these abnormal proteins. [ Proceedings of the Second Kuopio Alzheimer Symposium, Finland, Jan/01;]
British researchers confirm that cell phone radiation changes the shape of brain proteins, causing them to clump together and reach out with pathological fibrils like those found in patients afflicted with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. [Microwave News May/June 2003]
"Irradiated neurons in the brain die rapidly because these nerve cells have a low capacity for DNA repair." [Paper presented by Dr. Henry Lai at the Mobile Phones and Health Symposium, in Vienna, Austria Oct 25-28/98]
WHERE WE ARE
"At this point in time, there's just over three billion users of cell phones worldwide. So that's half of our world population, or almost half." -Dr. Vini Khurana, Associate Professor of Neurosurgery, Canberra Hospital to television host Larry King. [Larry King Live May 27/08]
"Today it is estimated that more than 90% percent of the Western world uses cell phones." -PhD Andrew Michrowski, Planetary Association for Clean Energy [Whole Life Expo 2007 Toronto Nov 25/07]
"Young people today are becoming stupid." -Toshiyuki Sawaguchi, Japanese professor of neurobiology, blaming cell phone use for early senility. [rense.com Feb 5/01]
"A literacy study conducted in 2005 on 19,000 young Americans is sobering. Only one in three American college grads can read a complex book and extrapolate from it… an overwhelming majority of college students are unable to understand arguments in a newspaper editorial or to comprehend a simple comparison table."

"For three years now Ingri and I have been traveling with a hand-held device called a 'zapchecker'. The zapchecker measures ambient levels of electromagnetic radiation. During dozens of road trips throughout the western U.S. since 2003, we would be driving along and notice that the zapchecker would suddenly 'spike'. We would then see a cell tower, a hospital or government building with a satellite communications array, a radio station or sometimes, high tension lines within a half mile or so. After a few minutes, the zapchecker would calm down again until the next wireless monument came within range…
"On March 30, 2006, Ingri and I traveled from Spirit Lake to Seattle to attend what turned out to be an excellent 9/11 truth event on the University of Washington campus. What we experienced with regard to measurable amounts of ambient electromagnetic radiation was shocking to us and occupied much of our conversation throughout our journey. Wherein previous years there would be miles between measurable amounts of radiation being detected by our zapchecker, the opposite was suddenly true. Our zapchecker was spiking about 90% of the time during our 800-mile round trip. It was 'clean' only between cell towers and now there is almost always one in sight. In all cases, when we were in urban areas, the zapchecker was solidly spiked - even when the sensitivity of the device was turned down." -Amy Worthington
One in six children suffers some neurological disability, and the rate of autism has skyrocketed in the last decade. "In the USA, one in every 166 children has an autism spectrum disorder- an increase of 6,000% since the 1970's," reports the Boston Globe. [Boston Globe July 1/05]
RF exposure "is wholly correlated with the repeatedly documented increased incidence of autism: now reported by at least some researchers as greater than 1 per 100 newborn. " -Dr. Kane [elektrosmognews.de Feb/02]
Melatonin has been shown to help prevent Alzheimer's. Melatonin also blocks estrogen's propensity to develop breast tumors in women. Eleven published epidemiologic studies in residences and workplaces show Microwaves emitted by cell phones and portables, wireless routers and cell phone towers sharply reduce melatonin production.

"There is a need for a biological standard to replace the thermal standard and to also protect against cumulative effects across the EM spectrum." [Bioeffects Initiative report]
"Worldwide harmonization of standards have to be based on biological responses." [Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop - "Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms of Biological Effects of EMF" March 2005]
"Thirteen years of continuous radiation exposure in public school cancer zones is child abuse. Networking systems using cables are the answer." -Amy Worthington
Renowned brain surgeon, "Dr. Vini Khurana urges everyone to stop using cell phones immediately."
WHO IS WILLIAM THOMAS? I am an award-winning Canadian author, reporter, photographer and filmmaker. A former Vancouver Sun “photog” – his feature writing and accompanying photographs subsequently appeared in more than 50 publications in eight countries, including translations into French, Dutch and Japanese. My 30-minute video documentary Eco War won the 1991 US Environmental Film Festival award for “Best Documentary Short”. Excerpts from this “front-lines” chronicle of a three-man environmental emergency response team in Kuwait aired in an eight-part CBC Gulf War mini-series, and have been shown on CNN and NBC television, as well as Noam Chomsky’s feature film, “The Corporation”. During and immediately after the Gulf War, I served five months in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait as a member of a three-man environmental emergency response team. Winner of four Canadian feature-writing awards, I am the author of Days Of Deception: Ground Zero and Beyond; All Fall Down: The Politics of Terror and Mass Persuasion, Scorched Earth, Bringing The War Home, Alt Health, Stand Down, Dialing Our Cells: Cell Phone Health Hazards and the recently updated Chemtrails Confirmed. A former pilot, ocean sailing master and frequent radio talk-show guest, I currently live and work in the Gulf Islands off Canada’s west coast.
