Cell Phone Alert

Just in case you missed this news, here is an excerpt from Dr. Mercola. Please check the type of phone you are using and consider switching or eliminating based on this information. I decided about a year ago to only use a cell for urgent calls on the road. Otherwise, I use Skype. It’s a bit inconvenient sometimes, but I decided to err on the side of safety.

Here’s some news about cell phones and cancer which even the mainstream media has found impossible to ignore. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), an arm of the World Health Organization (WHO), has declared after a review of the research that cell phones are possible cancer-causing agents. The expert panel ruled that there was some evidence that cell phone use was linked to two types of tumors—brain tumors (gliomas) and acoustic neuromas.

Some scientists say the IARC classification is still not strong enough, and that cell phone radiation should have been classified as a “Probable Human Carcinogen” based on the existing science, but evidently there were not enough studies to classify it more strongly at this time.

Camilla Rees of ElectromagneticHealth.org says,

“We expect to see continued spin from all directions, attempting to confuse the public and raise doubt, for some time to come. Thus it is especially important citizens be able to spot the misinformation and recognize there is an extraordinary propaganda machine in motion. We expect this will get LOUDER until industry is one day forced to cry ‘Uncle” under the expected landslide pressure lawsuits and from governments.”

Already, three senior members of Congress are calling on the General Accounting Office (GAO) to conduct a “thorough review” of the science and “adequacy” of current FCC exposure guidelines. These include Representatives Ed Markey (MA), Henry Waxman (CA) and Anna Eshoo (CA). And Reuters reports the Supreme Court is considering the fate of existing cell phone safety litigation in light of the WHO classification.

The IARC decision came only days after the Council of Europe, elders from 47 European countries, has called for a dramatic reduction in EMF exposure to humans from call phones and wireless technologies.

It is important to realize, however, that cell phones may not all be the same. Although all cell phones emit radiation, CDMA cell phones, such as those used by Sprint and Verizon, do not pulse their signals like the GSM phones used by AT&T and T-Mobile.

According to Dr. Joel Moskowitz, Director of the Center for Family and Community Health at the University of California, Berkeley, “GSM phones emit about 28 times more radiation on average compared to CDMA phones according to one published study.” Dr. Moskowitz recommends switching to a CDMA carrier if you want to reduce your radiation exposure.

Magda Havas, PhD of Trent University, Canada, agrees pulsed radiation is more dangerous:

“Pulsed radiation is much more harmful and the true intensity is not provided as it is “averaged” during a period of time (30 minutes for public exposure in US). The average of the pulse (maximum reading) and the minimum reading
gives a false low reading.  Engineers like to measure averages but living organisms react to extremes so these average readings under estimate the potential for harm if the radiation is pulsed.”

New mobile phone app ‘spots cancer with 100% accuracy in ONE HOUR’

We are moving at amazing speed with technological breakthroughs. If only we could move equally fast with ethical and consciousness breakthroughs.

From MailOnline.com
By Fiona Macrae

A mobile phone that spots cancer – and is more accurate than the techniques routinely used in hospitals – has been developed by scientists.

The smartphone-based system is up to 100 per cent accurate at telling the difference between benign tumours and their malignant counterparts.

It also takes just an hour to make the diagnosis, meaning patients don’t have to spend days or weeks anxiously waiting for test results.

Cancer breakthrough: Researchers have developed a smartphone-based system that is up to 100 per cent accurate at telling the difference between benign tumours and their malignant counterparts

The U.S. researchers said the gadget could ‘transform cancer care’ by also making it easier for doctors to track how well drugs are fighting the disease in a patient’s body.

In initial tests, it was 88 per cent accurate in distinguishing cancerous stomach tumours from benign growths.

Refining the technique boosted accuracy to 100 per cent, the journal Science Translational Medicine reports.

This compares with an average accurate of 84 per cent for the gold standard technique which involves using chemicals that stain cancerous cells and show up under a microscope.

In future, the smartphone system could be adapted to spot brain, skin and ovarian cancers quickly and accurately.

The tiny amount of tissue needed – one thousandth of a millilitre – would also spare patients the pain and risk of having repeatedly having pieces of their growth cut away for testing.

And with the most expensive piece of equipment costing just £60 or so, the system would be cheap to run.

The device, developed at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, consists of a smartphone connected to a miniature MRI machine.

In tests, patients with suspected stomach cancer had tiny samples of their growths removed using a fine needle. The app could be in widespread use in hospitals in as little as three years

The researchers then added in antibodies designed to bind to proteins found in stomach tumours and tiny magnetic particles designed to latch onto the antibodies.

They then used the magnet in the hand-held MRI machine to excite the molecules in the sample, making them vibrate. The more the molecules vibrate, the more likely the sample is cancerous.

An app – or application – on a smartphone computes the results and provides doctors with a read-out.

Researcher Dr Cesar Castro said: ‘The smartphone app is an easy-to-use interface that both controls the desk phone-sized apparatus as well as receives the data.

‘We must emphasise that this is a quantitative readout with no room for subjectivity or manipulation by whoever is processing.

‘This is important – whether the results are generated in Boston, London, or Lima the data remains the data. It also allows for apples to apples comparisons.’

Testing on larger groups of patients is needed, but if all goes well, the system could be in widespread use in hospitals in as little as three years. It would not be suitable for home use.

A separate device, also detailed in the latest edition of Science Translational Medicine, could take the worry out of suspicious moles.

Researchers at Duke University in North Carolina have used lasers to probe the insides of moles and detect cancerous changes in their pigment.

If more accurate than existing tests, it could spare thousands of patients unnecessary surgery.

CONQUERING CANCER WITH GRACE

My friend Grace Gawler is an integrative healing expert based on the Gold Coast of Australia and has just released her latest e-book, Conquering Cancer – Survivor’s Secrets. Please feel free to share this information with your network. You may just help to save a life!



The minute a person receives a cancer diagnosis, warning lights flash in the mind and for most people, fear, shock, and confusion kick in along with lots of negative associations. If the prognosis is dire, these emotions and visions can multiply many times. Among other things, fear can further suppress the immune system making healing even more difficult.

So, it is essential to seek the guidance of a compassionate, wise and experienced caregiver/coach at that very moment. Normally, the amount of advice one receives from friends, relatives and from internet searches is overwhelming and may consume a lot of our precious energy that should more effectively be focused on the healing process.

Proven paths to healing that have worked for many people do exist but trying to separate truth from fiction and pure hoax during the first few days of a cancer diagnosis can be a daunting task for anyone—cancer quackery has become very sophisticated and one almost needs a medical science degree to sort the valid claims out.

Enter Grace Gawler, the Director of the Grace Gawler Institute. Grace has worked with over 13,000 cancer patients and their doctors during the past 35 years providing individualized support with outstanding results. Her philosophy is a refreshing alternative to the either/or decision-making process many of us fall back on when trying to decide on a course of action. Grace has developed a far more satisfying, effective and inclusive approach to healing that first focuses on establishing a foundation or platform from which patients can choose a traditional/ alternative/integrative/natural mix from an empowered place rather than a position of desperation which often results in grasping at straws.

Burzynski+Battar: New Cancer Paradigm

During the past few days, I have watched an amazing DVD, Burzynski, and listened to the first two episodes of a free lecture series offered by Dr. Bashar. Both offer new paradigm treatments that have succeeded in knocking out cancer using non-toxic approaches. I know if I had cancer, I would seek one or both of these doctors before ever seeking the toxic ways of radiation or chemo.

The Burzynski DVD is the unbelievable story of a dedicated doctor who has saved the lives of hundreds of patients and been rewarded with lawsuits that if successful would have resulted in almost 300 years in jail. Not only was this visionary subjected to lawsuits by the Texas Medical Board but by the FDA and the U.S. government who attemted to patent his already patented antioplastins. You have to see this to believe it. The amazing part of the story is that he is now in Phase 3 trials and if approved wil be the first doctor in history to own the distribution rights to an approved cancer treatment. All others are owned by Big Pharma. I cannot recommend this DVD to highly.

Rashi Bashar holds degrees in Biology and Theology, is Board certified in Clinical Metal Toxicology, is the medical director for Advanced Concepts in Medicine, the Center for Advanced Medicine in Charlotte, NC, a clinic specializing in treating patients with cancer and heart disease refractory to conventional medical treatments.

Ranked as one of The Top 50 Doctors in the US since 2003 by Phillips Publishing, Healthy Directions and the world famous cardiologist, Dr. Stephen Sinatra.

He has researched and developed protocols for treating 7 levels of toxicity. Almost everyone is exposed to toxicity. He has found that if we eliminate them effectively chronic disease cannot exist. He has proven and documented this  on video. He treats patients from 32 countries using 39 different iv treatments many developed in the clinic among other treatments.

His DVD, Cancer:The Untold Truth  uses a 5-step approach to treating cancer: Optimization, Detox, Immune Modulation, Target Acquisition and Maintainance.
