Cancer Clusters & Mobile Telephone Masts – The Time for Action is Now

  • Various UK towns and cities, town in Spain (new Saville), Naila (Germany)

  • Long term effects:

    - Start off as sleep disturbance, migrains, heat rashes, high blood pressure

    - Progress to depression (whose incidence has greatly increased over last 10-15 years)

    - Progressing to pre-cancer conditions and cancers

In UK studies, Dr. John Walker, Physicist ex-of Dunlop said, “I know of no mast that has been erected for more than 8-10 years where we haven't seen cancer clusters of more than the expected incidence – in adjacent properties, all where the emissions from the mast is reaching its maximum – and corresponding fall in symptoms as the emissions drop off”.

We need a moratorium on the erection of masts, and for system such as 3G and TETRA to be turned off until such time as they are proven to be safe. Although the evidence I have seen points to such masts not being safe. Some people have suggested dropping the output from masts to the levels agreed a few years ago in Salzburg – some 1/900 - 1/9000th of the current UK values. Phones will still work outside, but not inside (where people can use normal phones instead).

We also need epidemiological studies to fully examine medical data against actual mast emission plots in very localised locations – not averaged over 3 digit postcode sized areas where all useful data is lost. If such none-specific statistics had been done in the days of the Cholera outbreaks in London in Victorian times, the contaminated wells would never have been identified.

Medical data wouldn't need to be identified to specific individuals, so confidentiality wouldn't be breached. However, such studies would need to be independently run and overseen – not funded by the Telecoms Industry as we have seen with the recent Danish study into Mobile Phone use.

This is a growing problem, and with the increasing number of masts and transmitters erected for 3G and Wi-fi, as well as domestic use of digital cordless (DECT) phones and Wi-fi, our exposure to damaging radiation steadily increases.

With an estimated 3% of the population electrosensitive (and I have met some) the current situation has meant hell on earth for many individuals – many who are not aware of why they are suffering.

The effect of microwave radiation from masts and wireless equipment from studies appears 3-fold.

Firstly sleep patterns are disrupted and melatonin production is affected. Consequently people do not sleep so well, so their bodies can not re-generate and fix what problems they have.

Secondly, DNA breaks in cells is increased way above natural levels and the body struggles to repair the breaks. Any breaks which are not repaired are the start of cancer.

Thirdly, the blood-brain barrier is weakened, allowing damaging chemicals from our environment to enter – so in towns and cities, especially industrial ones, toxic chemicals get into the brain and cause symptoms like ME (which used to be known as Yuppy Flu), etc.

When you add all of the 3 effects together, the body's immune system is being worn down in coping, so ill health, cancers and ultimately death become foregone conclusions.

Also, many researchers are starting to believe that once people's bodies become so saturated with microwave radiation, that previously non-electrosensitive people can become electrosensitive.

All of these effects are happening NOW in the UK and the developed world. These effects occur at levels much below those permitted by the ICNIRP Guidelines adopted in the UK which only take into account thermal effects. The time for action is NOW – not when thousands of people have been made very ill or died as a result.
