EMF

ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS/FREQUENCIES/RADIATION
We carry a complete line of BIOPRO Technology to ensure your family is safe from the effects of EMF's. Electromagnetic Fields are regions in space through which energy passes that has been created by electrically charged particles. EMFs are produced by power lines, radio waves, home wiring, and anything that plugs into a wall socket or runs on a battery, such as a microwave, computer, TV, cell phone and electric appliances. There has been tremendous concern over the past several years as to whether or not EMFs cause cancer. Dr. David Carpenter, Dean at the School of Public Health, State University of New York believes it is likely that up to 30% of all childhood cancers come from exposure to EMFs. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) warns "There is reason for concern" and advises “prudent avoidance”. Martin Halper, the EPA's Director of Analysis and Support says "I have never seen a set of epidemiological studies that remotely approached the weight of evidence that we're seeing with EMFs. Clearly there is something here." Concern over EMFs exploded after Paul Brodeur wrote a series of articles in the New Yorker Magazine in June 1989. Because of Paul Brodeur's reputation, his articles had a catalytic effect on scientists, reporters and concerned people throughout the world. In November 1989, the Department of Energy reported that "It has now become generally accepted that there are, indeed, biological effects due to field exposure." The EMF issue gained more publicity in 1990 when alarming reports appeared in Time, the Wall Street Journal, Business Week and popular computer publications. ABC's Ted Koppel and CBS's Dan Rather both aired special segments on EMFs. In addition to the long-term health concerns, buying a house with high fields will be an economic disaster. In a few years, when power line radiation is as well known as asbestos and radon, a house with high fields will be practically impossible to sell. Already there are hundreds of lawsuits regarding EMFs and property devaluation. EPA Says the Threat Is Real By 1990, over one hundred studies had been conducted worldwide. Of these, at least two dozen epidemiological studies on humans indicated a link between EMFs and serious health problems. In response to public pressure, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) began reviewing and evaluating the available literature. In a draft report issued in March 1990, the EPA recommended that EMFs be classified as a Class B carcinogen …. a "probable human carcinogen and joined the ranks of formaldehyde, DDT, dioxins and PCBs". After the EPA draft report was released, utility, military and computer lobbyists came down hard on the EPA. The EPA's final revision did NOT classify EMFs as a Class B carcinogen. Rather, the following explanation was added: “At this time such a characterization regarding the link between cancer and exposure to EMFs is not appropriate because the basic nature of the interaction between EMFs and biological processes leading to cancer is not understood.” Curiously, this rather unusual logic appears on the same page as the following: "In conclusion, several studies showing leukemia, lymphoma and cancer of the nervous system in children exposed to EMFs supported by similar findings in adults in several occupational studies also involving electrical power frequency exposures, show a consistent pattern of response that suggest a causal link. " When questioned about the contradictory nature of these statements, the EPA responded that it was "not appropriate" to use the probable carcinogen label until it could demonstrate how EMFs caused cancer and exactly how much EMF is harmful. This explanation does not satisfy many critics who claim that the EPAs upper management was influenced by political and economic considerations exerted by utility, computer and military lobbyists. Dr. George Carlo is a public health scientist, epidemiologist, lawyer and the founder of the Science and Public Policy Institute. In 1993 he was hired by the cell phone industry to study the safety of its product. In 1999, his research funds were not renewed, and the industry sought to discredit him. His findings on the dangers posed by the microwave radiation from cell phone antennas…disrupting cardiac pacemakers, penetrating the developing skulls of children, compromising the blood-brain barrier, and most startlingly, inflicting genetic damage that is a known diagnostic marker for cancer …are given clear voice as Dr. Carlo brings his case to the public in his book CELL PHONES…Invisible Hazards in the Wireless Age. Here he examines the hard science and the shady politics of a reckless high tech industry now mired in personal injury and class-action litigation. Dr. Carlo’s Safe Wireless Initiative Project at safewireless.org, is intended to promote safety and empower consumers to protect themselves and their families. The information on this site will help to educate yourself and loved onse on the dangers of cell phones and EMFs in general. Join the cause now!
