They are great mimics of other neurological disorders. It is sometimes hard to know whether a CT scan or MRI should be done if someone you know has some of the symptoms and signs noted below, but it is important to know that these studies will usually establish whether a brain tumor is behind them. The following symptoms immediately raise the question of a brain tumor: A new seizure in an adult. Gradual loss of movement or sensation in an arm or leg. Unsteadiness or imbalance, especially if it is associated with headache. Loss of vision in one or both eyes, especially if it is more peripheral vision loss. An eating disorder as a child. Double vision, especially if it is associated with headache. Hearing loss with or without dizziness. Speech difficulty of gradual onset. The following symptoms are usually not the result of a brain tumor, but may sometimes be: Headache is probably the most common symptom of a brain tumor. Most people with headache, even persistent or severe headaches, do not have a tumor. However, some kinds of headache are particularly worrisome. A steady headache that is worse in the morning than the afternoon, a persistent headache that is associated with nausea or vomiting, or a headache accompanied by double vision, weakness, or numbness all suggest a possible tumor. A change in behavior may also be caused by a brain tumor. The development of an "I don't care" attitude, memory loss, loss of concentration, and general confusion may all be subtle signs: here, an evaluation by a neurologist may be an important step, but a CT or MRI will also help. Infertility or amenorrhea (abnormal cessation of menstruation). Some troubles which seem to be other diseases may in fact be a tumor: a stroke, even when it looks like one on a CT, may turn out to be the result of a tumor. Sometimes a fall can come from a seizure caused by a tumor. A pituitary tumor can present like a subarachnoid hemorrhage, a kind of stroke. As you can see, the ways a brain tumor can show up are varied. If you are concerned, call a doctor who is familiar with these tumors. Early detection and treatment may increase survival - if symptoms persist, sometimes gentle urging for an MRI is important to assure that everything is all right. http://www.CellphoneLies.com http://www.emfnews.org

Dangers of cell phone and wi-fi radiation in schools part 3

Dangers_of_cell_phone_and_wi-fi_radiation_in_schools_part_3<a href="http://www.emfnews.org/chipcategory.html">EMF Protection Products</a> <a href="http://www.emfnews.org/headset.html">Airtube Headsets</a> <a href="http://www.emfnews.org/qlinks.html">Cell Tower Protection</a> <a href="http://www.emfnews.org/cell-phone-radiation-book.html">Educational Cell Phone Ebook</a> Industry Seeks to Discredit Findings, Scientists But manipulation by the industry had begun almost immediately at the start of research. While Dr. Carlo and his team had never defined their research as being done to prove the safety of cell phones, the industry internally defined it as an insurance policy to prove that phones were safe. From the outset, what was being said by the cell phone industry in public was different from what was being said by the scientists behind closed doors. The pacemaker studies were a harbinger of bad things to come. Results showed that cell phones do indeed interfere with pacemakers, but moving the phone away from the pacemaker would correct the problem. Amazingly, the industry was extremely upset with the report, complaining that the researchers went off target. When Dr. Carlo and his colleagues published their findings in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1997,11 the industry promptly cut off funding for the overall program. It took nine months for the FDA and the industry to agree on a scaled-down version of the program to continue going forward. Dr. Carlo had volunteered to step down, since he was clearly not seeing eye-to-eye with the industry, but his contract was extended instead, as no one wanted to look bad from a public relations standpoint. The research continued, and what it uncovered would be a dire warning to cell phone users and the industrys worst nightmare. When the findings were ready for release in 1998, the scientists were suddenly confronted with another challenge: the industry wanted to take over public dissemination of the information, and it tried everything it could to do so. It was faced with disaster and had a lot to lose. Fearing the industry would selectively release research results at best, or hold them back at worst, Dr. Carlo and his colleagues took the information public on their own, creating a highly visible war between the scientists and the industry. An ABC News expose on the subject increased the wrath of the industry. According to Dr. Carlo, The industry played dirty. It actually hired people to put negative things about me and the other scientists who found problems on the internet, while it tried to distance itself from the program. Auditors were brought in to say we misspent money, but none of that ever held up. They tried every angle possible. This included discussions with Dr. Carlos ex-wife to try to figure out ways to put pressure on him, he says. Threats to his career came from all directions, and Dr. Carlo learned from Congressional insiders that the word around Washington was that he was unstable. But all the character assassination paled in comparison to what happened next. Toward the end of 1998, Dr. Carlos house mysteriously burned down. Public records show that authorities determined the cause of the blaze was arson, but the case was never solved. Dr. Carlo refuses to discuss the incident and will only confirm that it happened. By this time, enough was enough. Dr. Carlo soon went underground, shunning the public eye and purposely making himself difficult to find.

Simply using a hands-free headset is a big step. Headsets keep the cell phones antenna at a distance of six to seven inches away from the body, thus eliminating near-field exposure. Wired headsets can act as an antenna to draw some ambient EMR, but not much, so using one is still preferable to holding the phone to your head. Wireless headsets should be avoided, as they draw much more far-field EMR. The safest headsets have hollow air tubes, similar to those used in stethoscopes, instead of wires.They offer protection against both near-field and far-field exposure. If possible, avoid wearing the phone at your waist, which exposes the hip bones to radiation. Eighty percent of red blood cells are formed in the hip bones. There are also newer cell phones available capable of functioning in speaker phone mode. This enables you to talk on the phone while keeping it at a safe distance from your body. If you are able to conduct most of your conversations using a speaker phone, this could enable you to use a cell phone without encountering the intense radiation exposure that occurs when holding it to your ear.

The U.S. FDA had asked the National Research Council, which advises the federal government on scientific matters, to recommend some future lines of study. Most studies of cell phones to date have looked only at short-term effects on healthy adults. The Council noted that, "Although it is unknown whether children are more susceptible to RF exposure, they may be at increased risk because of their developing organ and tissue systems." The Council also identified a number of other overarching issues that merit further study, such as differences between long- and short-term exposure, and possible biological mechanisms, other than simple heating, by which wireless radiation could affect cells. Will Europe Ban Cell Phones for Under-age Use? The Vienna Medical Association is demanding the removal of zero tariffs and the banning of mobile phone advertising targeting children and adolescents. Says Erik Huber, environment advisor for the association: Children under the age of 16 should never use a mobile phone. Many scientists and government agencies in Europe have already accepted that EMF from cell phones does pose health risks, reflected in Hubers statement, Scientists do not argue anymore whether mobile phones are harmful, but how harmful they are.

Wireless Cell Phone Radiation Experiments

Wireless_Cell_Phone_Radiation_Experimentshttp://www.Cellphonelies.com Watch as the tri-field meter measures emf radiation and wireless technology. Some believe wireless technology is one of the causes of brain tumors , cancer and more.this little description is about: About Brain Tumors A tumor is a mass or growth of abnormal cells. Brain tumors typically are categorized as primary or secondary. Primary brain tumors (gliomas) originate in the brain and can be benign (slow growing) or malignant (fast growing). Secondary brain tumors (metastatic brain tumors), which are malignant, are more common. These tumors result from cancer that started elsewhere in the body and spread (metastasized) to the brain. Brain tumors can be challenging to treat, but the outlook is not necessarily bleak. Many brain tumors can be successfully treated with one or more methods. In addition, new technology enables physicians to target tumors more precisely, while innovative treatments under investigation offer hope for the future.

Cellphone radiation may ruin a good night's sleep

Cellphone_radiation_may_ruin_a_good_nights_sleep<a href="http://www.emfnews.org/chipcategory.html">EMF Protection Products</a> <a href="http://www.emfnews.org/headset.html">Airtube Headsets</a> <a href="http://www.emfnews.org/qlinks.html">Cell Tower Protection</a> <a href="http://www.emfnews.org/cell-phone-radiation-book.html">Educational Cell Phone Ebook</a> CTV.ca News Staff A small study in Sweden and the United States finds that using a cellphone just before bedtime interferes with sleep patterns. Scientists at the Karolinska Institute and Uppsala University and Wayne State University in Detroit studied 35 men and 36 women. Thirty-eight of the volunteers said they had symptoms that they attributed to cellphone use, such as trouble concentrating and sleep problems. The other 33 volunteers reported no "mobile-related symptoms". Half were exposed to 884 MHz wireless signals like that emitted by cellphones for three hours, while the others thought they were being exposed to it. The participants did not know which exposure they were receiving. Those who were actually exposed to the radiation took longer to get into deep sleep. They also spent less time in the deepest part of sleep. The participants took an average of about six minutes longer to reach the deep stage of sleep than when they had received the "sham" exposure. They also spent an average eight minutes less time in the deepest "stage 4" sleep. Reports of headaches were greater during radio wave exposure than during sham exposure in the subjects who had previously not reported mobile-related symptoms. However, in those who were symptomatic, there was no difference in the reporting of headache between the two exposures. Neither group was able to detect with accuracy whether they were being exposed to the true radio waves or to sham exposure. The study is published by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Progress in Electromagnetics Research Symposium (PIERS). It was funded by the Mobile Manufacturers Forum, which called the results "inconclusive." One of the study's researchers, Dr. Bengt Arnetz, says it appears that cellphones affect the areas of the brain responsible for activating and co-ordinating the stress system. It's also possible that radio waves disrupt production of the hormone melatonin, which controls the body's internal circadian rhythms. Sleep expert Dr. Jeffrey Lipsitz says he finds the study's results disturbing. "Aside from the sleep aspects, honestly, it's a little worrisome that you could measure any significant difference in people just because they've been exposed to radio waves that simulate cellphone use," he told Canada AM Monday. "So you kind of wonder what else might be going on to the brain as a result of extended cellphone use, and what does that mean for all of us?... It certainly cries out for more research." Lipsitz says the results of the study might have the greatest implications for teenages, who tend to use cellphones more in the evening and tend to talk for long periods of time. "So if they're using cellphones for long hours in the evening and then going to sleep and their sleep is disturbed -- and they're the ones who probably need more sleep than the rest of us anyways and not getting it -- this may have implications with regard to health and development and functioning in school and so on. So there are some serious implications to this." http://www.Cellphonelies.com http://www.emfnews.org

Cell Phones & the Blood Brain Barrier

Cell_Phones_&_the_Blood_Brain_Barrier<a href="http://www.emfnews.org/chipcategory.html">EMF Protection Products</a> <a href="http://www.emfnews.org/headset.html">Airtube Headsets</a> <a href="http://www.emfnews.org/qlinks.html">Cell Tower Protection</a> <a href="http://www.emfnews.org/cell-phone-radiation-book.html">Educational Cell Phone Ebook</a> The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is the specialized system of capillary endothelial cells that protects the brain from harmful substances in the blood stream, while supplying the brain with the required nutrients for proper function. Unlike peripheral capillaries that allow relatively free exchange of substance across / between cells, the BBB strictly limits transport into the brain through both physical (tight junctions) and metabolic (enzymes) barriers.Sleep disorders, she learned, are common among people exposed to high levels of electromagnetic pollution.there is nothing safe about the new 1.9 gigahertz broadcasting frequency. Much like a boxer taking repeated blows to the head, rapidly pulsing cellphones signal permanent brain damage. A study by Dr. Peter Franch found unequivocally that cells are permanently damaged by cellular phone frequencies. This cellular damage, Franch noted, is maximized at low dosage - and inherited unchanged, from generation to generation..the production of histamine, which triggers bronchial spasms, is nearly doubled after exposure to mobile phone transmissions. Cellphones also reduce the effectiveness of anti-asthmatic drugs, and retard recovery from illness.. 217 Hz spikes are very close to the frequencies of human cell membranes. ..because cancer takes decades to develop, it will be another 10 or 20 years before mobiles manifest a big bonanza in brain tumors. But he adds, were already seeing acute effects that are noticed within minutes of using a cell phone.After two minutes conversation, a cell phones digitized impulses disable the safety barrier that isolates the brain from destructive proteins and poisons in the blood. If you must pack a cell phone, treat it like a loaded pistol. Keep it turned off. Dont carry it near ovaries, testicles, or the heart. For partial protection, buy an antenna shield. Limit calls to one-minute, six to 10 minutes a month. Never fire off a cellphone with children anywhere in sight. To learn more go to www.Cellphonelies.com or www.emfnews.org

Child brain tumors. What are adult brain tumors?

Child_brain_tumors._What_are_adult_brain_tumors?<a href="http://www.emfnews.org/chipcategory.html">EMF Protection Products</a> <a href="http://www.emfnews.org/headset.html">Airtube Headsets</a> <a href="http://www.emfnews.org/qlinks.html">Cell Tower Protection</a> <a href="http://www.emfnews.org/cell-phone-radiation-book.html">Educational Cell Phone Ebook</a>Adult brain tumors are diseases in which cancer (malignant) cells begin to grow in the tissues of the brain. The brain controls memory and learning, senses (hearing, sight, smell, taste, and TOUCH), AND EMOTION. IT ALSO CONTROLS OTHER PARTS OF THE BODY, INCLUDING MUSCLES, ORGANS, AND BLOOD VESSELS. TUMORS THAT START IN THE BRAIN ARE CALLED PRIMARY BRAIN TUMORS. WHAT ARE METASTATIC BRAIN TUMORS? OFTEN, TUMORS FOUND IN THE BRAIN HAVE STARTED SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THE BODY AND SPREAD (METASTASIZED) TO THE BRAIN. THESE ARE CALLED METASTATIC BRAIN TUMORS.WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF AN ADULT BRAIN TUMOR? A DOCTOR SHOULD BE SEEN IF THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS APPEAR: FREQUENT HEADACHES. VOMITING. LOSS OF APPETITE. CHANGES IN MOOD AND PERSONALITY. CHANGES IN ABILITY TO THINK AND LEARN. SEIZURES. WHAT TESTS ARE USED TO FIND AND DIAGNOSE ADULT BRAIN TUMORS? TESTS THAT EXAMINE THE BRAIN AND SPINAL CORD ARE USED TO DETECT (FIND) ADULT BRAIN TUMOR. THE FOLLOWING TESTS AND PROCEDURES MAY BE USED: CT SCAN (CAT SCAN): A PROCEDURE THAT MAKES A SERIES OF DETAILED PICTURES OF AREAS INSIDE THE BODY, TAKEN FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES. THE PICTURES ARE MADE BY A COMPUTER LINKED TO AN X-RAY MACHINE. A DYE MAY BE INJECTED INTO A VEIN OR SWALLOWED TO HELP THE ORGANS OR TISSUES SHOW UP MORE CLEARLY. THIS PROCEDURE IS ALSO CALLED COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY, COMPUTERIZED TOMOGRAPHY, OR COMPUTERIZED AXIAL TOMOGRAPHY. MRI (MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING): A PROCEDURE THAT USES A MAGNET, RADIO WAVES, AND A COMPUTER TO MAKE A SERIES OF DETAILED PICTURES OF THE BRAIN AND SPINAL CORD. A SUBSTANCE CALLED GADOLINIUM IS INJECTED INTO THE PATIENT THROUGH A VEIN. THE GADOLINIUM COLLECTS AROUND THE CANCER CELLS SO THEY SHOW UP BRIGHTER IN THE PICTURE. THIS PROCEDURE IS ALSO CALLED NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (NMRI). ADULT BRAIN TUMOR IS DIAGNOSED AND REMOVED IN SURGERY. IF A BRAIN TUMOR IS SUSPECTED, A BIOPSY IS DONE BY REMOVING PART OF THE SKULL AND USING A NEEDLE TO REMOVE A SAMPLE OF THE BRAIN TISSUE. A PATHOLOGIST VIEWS THE TISSUE UNDER A MICROSCOPE TO LOOK FOR CANCER CELLS. IF CANCER CELLS ARE FOUND, THE DOCTOR WILL REMOVE AS MUCH TUMOR AS SAFELY POSSIBLE DURING THE SAME SURGERY. AN MRI MAY THEN BE DONE TO DETERMINE IF ANY CANCER CELLS REMAIN AFTER SURGERY. TESTS ARE ALSO DONE TO FIND OUT THE GRADE OF THE TUMOR. WHAT IS THE GRADE OF A TUMOR? THE GRADE OF A TUMOR REFERS TO HOW ABNORMAL THE CANCER CELLS LOOK UNDER A MICROSCOPE AND HOW QUICKLY THE TUMOR IS LIKELY TO GROW AND SPREAD. THE PATHOLOGIST DETERMINES THE GRADE OF THE TUMOR USING TISSUE REMOVED FOR BIOPSY. THE FOLLOWING GRADING SYSTEM MAY BE USED FOR ADULT BRAIN TUMORS: GRADE I THE TUMOR GROWS SLOWLY, HAS CELLS THAT LOOK SIMILAR TO NORMAL CELLS, AND RARELY SPREADS INTO NEARBY TISSUES. IT MAY BE POSSIBLE TO REMOVE THE ENTIRE TUMOR BY SURGERY. GRADE II THE TUMOR GROWS SLOWLY, BUT MAY SPREAD INTO NEARBY TISSUE AND MAY BECOME A HIGHER-GRADE TUMOR.GRADE III THE TUMOR GROWS QUICKLY, IS LIKELY TO SPREAD INTO NEARBY TISSUE, AND THE TUMOR CELLS LOOK VERY DIFFERENT FROM NORMAL CELLS.GRADE IV THE TUMOR GROWS VERY AGGRESSIVELY, HAS CELLS THAT LOOK VERY DIFFERENT FROM NORMAL CELLS, AND IS DIFFICULT TO TREAT SUCCESSFULLY. THE CHANCE OF RECOVERY (PROGNOSIS) AND CHOICE OF TREATMENT DEPEND ON THE TYPE, GRADE, AND LOCATION OF THE TUMOR AND WHETHER CANCER CELLS REMAIN AFTER SURGERY AND/OR HAVE SPREAD TO OTHER PARTS OF THE BRAIN http://www.emfnews.org http://www.CellphoneLies.com
