Hidden cancer risks etc ( mobile phones )

["Bjorn Cedervall" <bcradsafers@hotmail.com>]

Just browsed through some Swedish "EMF" sources and by
chance found a two year old article in English that
may interest some Radsafers. The article below is
from one of our two major sensational newspapers
(Aftonbladet) in Sweden.

In the article, you will find a person with the initials
OJ (we have a law in Sweden forbidding me to write the
name! - this context may pass but I am not sure).

Anyway, this is the same person as the one I eleven months
ago (see Radsafers archive, Dec. 3 & 4 for details) -
claims about cell phones as potential cancer, asthma,
cardiovascular diseases etc. This person was also on
a major Swedish TV news program about 3 weeks ago warning for
genetic risks with mobile phones for children. His title
read "radiation expert" (he is a neurobiologist). He is
also the person who was interviewed earlier this year in
a TV program about magnetic fields in cars (seat heaters
were like sitting on a nuclear power plant, the car is a
microwave oven on wheels, prostate cancer is increasing
(the last statement was said by one of the program leaders,
etc - in other words very informative to the general public...).
The end of the program was the the buyer of a car should require
from the dealer a statement saying that the car was safe (with
regard to the magnetic fields - they measured 140 nanoteslas
but said that it should be 25 nanoteslas (lovely units for the
public - I don't think that Gauss would have helped the audience
-the instrument for the field measurements was making a buzzing
noice around the instrument panel. They also measure the fields
between the legs of the driver (I think that he sells "protection
devices - I am not sure).

It is stated in the Aftonbladet article (link above) that
25% have mobile phones now - but that was two years ago. Today
it is probably more like 80% with active people. Mobile phones
for kids is a niche that I am sure that many parents like for
a number of obvious reasons.

Our OJ now also appear in a catalog with a "Brain-Cooler" (for
mobile phones):

http://www.clasohlson.se/order/kataloger.html
If you click on the word "Mobiltelefontillbehörskatalog"
("extras for mobile phones") this leads to a PDF file.
Page 17 (in Swedish) says: "Radiation Protection for mobile
phones" - and down to the right on the picture: "You can protect yourself 
now" The text says "An alpha-oscillator in this radiation protection device 
emits a very weak compensation signal that stimulates the body's own defence 
against this type of radiation... This effect has been shown at a number of 
international scientific studies... Further studies will be conducted in 
collaboration with OJ..."

One informal source has told me that the brain-cooler may have
some business connection to a ODC researcher (ODC=Ornithine
Decarboxylase). I think that this last indication should be
checked. ODC has been claimed to be a tumor marker - induced
by magnetic fields if I recall correctly.
