I had chemo, I lost all my hair and I couldn’t go out with my friends, I stayed at home all day, and I lost a whole year of school.”" Her mother recalls how full of life she used to be. “”To see your daughter throwing up and her health crumbling away is heartbreaking and painful.”" One pupil has lost the sight of one eye because of a retinal blastoma [perhaps a radiation-induced osteogenic sarcoma? Ed]. Five others have had an operation to remove part of the thyroid and ganglial tumours in different parts of the body. A third pupil died earlier this year. The official cause of their sudden death was never found in spite of an official enquiry and an inquest. Among the teaching staff there are several cases of breast cancer, leukaemia and degenerative diseases.

www.emfnews.org www.emfnews.org www.emfnews.org Parents should ensure their children use mobile phones only when absolutely necessary because of the potential health risks, an expert is warning. The latest study by Sir William Stewart says there is still no proof mobile phones are unsafe, but warns precautionary steps should be taken. Sir William said children under eight should not use mobile phones at all. In light of the findings, a phone designed for this age group has been withdrawn from sale in the UK. The MyMo phone went on sale five months ago aimed at four to eight-year-olds to use in an emergency. But in a statement, the UK distributor Communic8 said: “Although we feel the product, if used as recommended with parental guidance, is safe, we are not experts in either the radiation or medical fields that Sir William and his team are. “Simple common sense has convinced us that even the remotest possibility of our product becoming a health risk to any child is unacceptable.” Advice ignored Sir William, now of the National Radiological Protection Board, first warned five years ago that children should only use mobiles in emergencies. But he is now concerned that advice is being ignored. Mobile phone operators welcomed the fact that Sir William’s report highlighted the lack of hard evidence linking handsets with adverse health effects. One in four seven to 10-year-olds now own a mobile phone — double the levels in 2001, according to latest figures. www.emfnews.org www …

www.emfnews.org www.emfnews.org www.emfnews.org Already, thanks to the introduction of mobile phones, computers, CCTV cameras, satellite televisions and digital radios, our lives are enveloped in electronic radiation. About 1400 access points will be installed on lampposts across Swindon, creating an electronic mesh This phenomenon has been described as ‘electro smog’, so all-pervasive are the pulsing microwave signals that surround us on a daily basis. Of course, we cannot see all this electronic activity, but if we could, the sight would be dramatic. Stepping from somewhere free of modern electronic gadgetry into a Wi-Fi active zone would be the equivalent of walking from a peaceful country lane onto the hard shoulder of Spaghetti Junction. And it is absurdly complacent to pretend that these electromagnetic fields are not going to have any impact on our health. Far from doing no harm, some studies suggest that as much as five per cent of the population may already be suffering from headaches, concentration difficulties, chronic fatigue, irritability and behavioural problems because of this electro smog. The computer industry airily dismisses any concerns, claiming that Wi-Fi uses only a few watts of energy – ‘less than a lightbulb’. But this ignores the fact that light and microwaves are different kinds of electromagnetic radiation, so the analogy with the lightbulb is meaningless. www.emfnews.org www.emfnews.org www.emfnews.org
