"Cell Phones Cause Cancer" - Jimmy Gonzalez, Attorney (1972 - 2014)

"Cell phones cause cancer. That's what numerous doctors and scientists from all around the world have been warning us about for years... I for one happen to KNOW that cell phones DO cause cancer..."

Jimmy Gonzalez developed cancers and tumors in three places related to his cell phone use:

• His left hand where he held his cell phone during use
• The left side of his head where he placed his cell phone when in use
• His lower chest where he stored his cell phone when not in use

From the video description:

Jimmy Gonzalez's testimony to the Pembroke Pines Commission resulted in the passing of a Resolution to raise awareness on the health risks of cell phone radiation. 

Learn more about the state of science on cell phone radiation at The Environmental Health Trust. Several cities and countries are taking action to raise awareness about how people can protect themselves.  

Please see the full list at Database Of Worldwide Policies On Cell Phones, Wireless And Health (EHTrust.org).  Jimmy Gonzalez' words will save lives.

But only if we listen and act upon the information Jimmy and others have shared. Information is useless unless it's used.

History shows us that sometimes government agencies are not the first to act when it comes to protecting the health and safety of the public. So if you are waiting for some kind of "official" announcement, well, please listen to Jimmy again.

Regarding teens and adolescents using cell phones...

From Brain Tumor Histology and Incidence in Adolescents and Young Adults:

Malignant brain tumors are the most common cause of cancer deaths in adolescents and young adults aged 15-39, and are the most common cancer occurring in 15-19 year-olds.  

Fifteen to 19 year-olds were born between 1998/1999 and 2002/2003.  In 2002, a little over 60% of Americans used a cellphone (Pew Research Center). That means today's adolescents more than likely grew up with parents that used a cellphone and perhaps became early users themselves. 

Currently 100% of people between the ages of 18 and 29 in the U.S. own a cellphone (see Pew Research Center link above).  And now malignant brain tumors are the most common cause of cancer deaths in that age group. 

In 2012 I bought my first cell phone. Less than a year later I had to stop putting it to my ear because of constant burning pain I felt when I did. Perhaps I'm one of the "lucky" ones, to feel the pain.  Though I don't think luck had anything to do with it, and I'm not the only one that feels electromagnetic fields.  There are many others.  We are the evidence that wireless technology can and does cause harm.  Jimmy tried to tell us this before he died.

My wish for 2019:

It will be the year of massive awareness of wireless radiation health effects,  along with massive mitigation, correction, retraction, repayment, reorganization, and elimination regarding wireless technology and high electromagnetic fields (EMFs), (according to Building Biologist standards), which includes but is not limited to: "smart" meters, transmitting utility meters, 5G small cell towers, mega cell towers, WiFi in schools, and "dirty electricity". 

Safe levels of wireless radiation need to be determined and strictly followed and enforced in public areas.  For the health of it! For our children, and our children's children's children. 

It is time to stop this EMF freight-train and put 'er in reverse... 

"It's time to EMF - off..."

...and begin reducing our exposure.

The Nation: How Big Wireless Made Us Think That Cell Phones Are Safe: A Special Investigation

The disinformation campaign—and massive radiation increase—behind the 5G rollout.

By Mark Hertsgaard and Mark Dowie

MARCH 29, 2018

Things didn’t end well between George Carlo and Tom Wheeler; the last time the two met face-to-face, Wheeler had security guards escort Carlo off the premises. As president of the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association (CTIA), Wheeler was the wireless industry’s point man in Washington. Carlo was the scientist handpicked by Wheeler to defuse a public-relations crisis that threatened to strangle his infant industry in its crib. This was back in 1993, when there were only six cell-phone subscriptions for every 100 adults in the United States. But industry executives were looking forward to a booming future.

Remarkably, cell phones had been allowed onto the US consumer market a decade earlier without any government safety testing. Now, some customers and industry workers were being diagnosed with cancer. In January 1993, David Reynard sued the NEC America Company, claiming that his wife’s NEC phone caused her lethal brain tumor. After Reynard appeared on national TV, the story went viral. A congressional subcommittee announced an investigation; investors began dumping their cell-phone stocks; and Wheeler and the CTIA swung into action.

A week later, Wheeler announced that his industry would pay for a comprehensive research program. Cell phones were already safe, Wheeler told reporters; the new research would simply “re-validate the findings of the existing studies.”

George Carlo seemed like a good bet to fulfill Wheeler’s mission. He was an epidemiologist who also had a law degree, and he’d conducted studies for other controversial industries. After a study funded by Dow Corning, Carlo had declared that breast implants posed only minimal health risks. With chemical-industry funding, he had concluded that low levels of dioxin, the chemical behind the Agent Orange scandal, were not dangerous. In 1995, Carlo began directing the industry-financed Wireless Technology Research project (WTR), whose eventual budget of $28.5 million made it the best-funded investigation of cell-phone safety to date.

Outside critics soon came to suspect that Carlo would be the front man for an industry whitewash. They cited his dispute with Henry Lai, a professor of biochemistry at the University of Washington, over a study that Lai had conducted examining whether cell-phone radiation could damage DNA. In 1999, Carlo and the WTR’s general counsel sent a letter to the university’s president urging that Lai be fired for his alleged violation of research protocols. Lai accused the WTR of tampering with his experiment’s results. Both Carlo and Lai deny the other’s accusations.

Critics also attacked what they regarded as the slow pace of WTR research. The WTR was merely “a confidence game” designed to placate the public but stall real research, according to Louis Slesin, editor of the trade publication Microwave News. “By dangling a huge amount of money in front of the cash-starved [scientific] community,” Slesin argued, “Carlo guaranteed silent obedience. Anyone who dared complain risked being cut off from his millions.” Carlo denies the allegation.

Whatever Carlo’s motives might have been, the documented fact is that he and Wheeler would eventually clash bitterly over the WTR’s findings, which Carlo presented to wireless-industry leaders on February 9, 1999. By that date, the WTR had commissioned more than 50 original studies and reviewed many more. Those studies raised “serious questions” about cell-phone safety, Carlo told a closed-door meeting of the CTIA’s board of directors, whose members included the CEOs or top officials of the industry’s 32 leading companies, including Apple, AT&T, and Motorola.

Carlo sent letters to each of the industry’s chieftains on October 7, 1999, reiterating that the WTR’s research had found the following: “The risk of rare neuro-epithelial tumors on the outside of the brain was more than doubled…in cell phone users”; there was an apparent “correlation between brain tumors occurring on the right side of the head and the use of the phone on the right side of the head”; and “the ability of radiation from a phone’s antenna to cause functional genetic damage [was] definitely positive….”
