WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

UK: Latest Study on Cell Phone Safety
[Note. Cell phones are enormously popular in South Africa. It is quite possible that percentage-wise we have more cell-phone users than any country in the world. On a more humorous note, the reason anyone, even a street sweeper has cell phones is because there is a lot of theft of cell phones by blacks. I’ve had 3 cell phones stolen from me in the last 18 months by blacks!!
A cousin of mine who uses cell phones all day long told us that she was getting headaches due to the cell phone. Jan]
Mobile phones do not pose obvious risks to health but further research needs to be undertaken, particularly on emissions from mobile phone handsets and from base stations being erected for third generation networks, a new report from scientists advising the UK government concluded on Wednesday.
The new research, carried out by the Advisory Group on Non-ionising Radiation (Agnir) led by Professor Anthony Swerdlow, is the first thorough review of mobile phone safety since 2000, when Independent Expert Group on Mobile Phones headed by Sir William Stewart published its findings.
The authors of this latest report examined wide-ranging research into the health effects of the radiofrequency emissions from mobile phones and base stations. They concluded on Wednesday that there is “no biological evidence for mutation or tumour causation by radiofrequency exposure” and that “epidemiological studies overall do not support causal associations between exposures to radiofrequency and the risk of cancer, in particular from mobile phone use.”
But the authors called for more research, warning that the research conducted to date on the health risks from mobile phones had limitations and that mobile phones had only been in widespread use for a relatively short period of time. In particular, the greatest uncertainty surrounded mobile phone handsets and not base stations, the report authors said.
“If there are any risks to [mobile phone] technology, they are much more likely to come from phones than from base stations,” said Professor Lawrence Challis, Emeritus Professor of Physics at the University of Nottingham and one of the authors of the report. “In a few seconds on a mobile phone you get much more exposure as you would from a base station in 24 hours.”
“Exposure to base stations is extremely small relative to the exposure from phones. It is at most a thousands times less than a phone and in many cases tens of thousands of times less. I think the public concern about base stations is understandable as they are large. But [this concern] is not understandable in terms of science,” he said.
Facts about mobile safety
Mobile phones have to meet minimum standards on radiation emissions before they can be sold to the public. Emission levels are measured by the amount of radiation that is absorbed into an individual’s head whilst they are using a mobile phone.
However the scientists said that some studies on emissions from 3G base stations – the next generation mobile technology currently being introduced across Europe – had shown that 3G base stations can effect consumer well-being and “cognitive processes”. The scientists said that the “pattern of results [from these initial studies] were quite inconsistent” and called for more research into 3G base station emissions.
In Europe, 3G emissions use higher 2100 MHz frequencies compared to 900 MHz and 1800 MHz for GSM networks, the current 2G technology standard. In the UK only new entrant Three, controllled by Hong Kong conglomerate Hutchison Whampoa, currently runs a 3G network. However most major operators are expected to switch on their own 3G services in the second half of this year.
In 2000, the Stewart report advised that children should minimise their use of mobile phones, given the uncertaintly of the risks. The authors of yesterday’s report were merely asked to examine the risks associated with mobile phones and were not given a remit to give advice or recommendations.
