Re: Cell Phone Radiation Changes Brain Metabolism

Hi Dafna,
 
Thanks for thinking about me.  Hope things are going well for you. This report on the Eyewitness News was very disturbing.  The findings were presenting as "Cell Phone Radiation Sitmulates Brain Activity."  Then Dr. Jay Adlersberg got on on and said that the study found that after 50 minutes of cell phone use glucose was produced by cells suggesting that cells had been stimulated by the cell phone radiation and that there was no immediate way of knowing whether this was good or bad for the brain.
 
Now if your solidly addicted to phone, then your mind will adopt that the stimulation is probably good or at least not bad.  This research was approved by the AMA.  This report was sanctioned by those asshole medical doctors also addicted to the wonders of phone.  Sorry to get belligerent, but the status quo really pisses me off these days with their bulls--t and all.  Mind you there was nomention of prior research regarding the blood-brain barrier or blood sluggishness or potential DNA damage. t's as if every new study must stand obliviously on its own merit.  Wow...  Thanks Dafna, maybe we should address the AMA or Eyewitness News directly. Have a great remaining week.  And please keep 'em coming!

A well-regarded and influential team of researchers from the
National Institutes of Health and the Brookhaven National Lab
is on the brink of resolving a long-standing dispute with
enormous implications for public health.

In a paper due out tomorrow in the Journal of the American Medical
Association (JAMA), Nora Volkow and coworkers are
reporting that a 50-minute exposure to cell phone radiation
can affect the normal functioning of the human brain.

What is particularly remarkable about the new work is that
those regions of the brain that were most highly exposed to
phone radiation had the largest increases in metabolic activity.

Whether these short-term changes will lead to health consequences
(and what they might be) is far from clear -- though Volkow already
has preliminary indications of a long-term effect.

Importantly, this new finding upsets the current orthodoxy because
such low-levels EMF effects are thought to be impossible.

Nora Volkow, the lead author of the JAMA study, is the
director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse. She told
Microwave News that she recommends using a wired earpiece
when on a mobile phone.  She is most senior U.S. health official
to come out for precaution.
