Not only can you not get through to anyone for service, but while you’re holding your cell phone causes cancer.

(Business Wire India)
The studies and survey conducted by Australian Health Research Institute indicates that due to billions of times more in volume electromagnetic radiation emitted by billions of mobile phones, internet, intranet and wireless communication data transmission will make almost 1/3 rd of world population (about 2 billions) patient of ear, eye and brain cancer beside other major body disorders like heart ailments, impotency, migraine, epilepsy etc. According to the reports the tissues of children are tender and are likely to be more effected by use of any wireless gadget and devices and they should not be encouraged to use mobile phone. The fatal and volumetric effects of Electromagnetic Radiation emitted mainly by mobile phones, Mobile phone antenna, tower, Mast, Transmission Tower, Microwave oven, wireless devices, system and equipment. These dangerous effects have been certified and confirmed repeatedly by many leading medical and scientific research institutions of the world including Ministries of health of various governments, W.H.O. and now have been admitted and confirmed by Govt. of India in their recent press releases.

The attached image shows and proves about the serious ill effects of E.M. radiation released by Radiation Nuclear and Safety Authority of FINLAND as to how E.M. radiation emitted by mobile phones damages the various body cells and causes incurable and fatal diseases. More

LINDSEY TANNER, AP
Surprising research suggests that childhood cancer is most common in the Northeast, results that even caught experts off guard. But some specialists say it could just reflect differences in reporting.

The large government study is the first to find notable regional differences in pediatric cancer. Experts say it also provides important information to bolster smaller studies, confirming that cancer is rare in children, but also more common in older kids, especially among white boys.

The study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is based on data representing 90 percent of the U.S. population. It found that cancer affects about 166 out of every million children, a number that shows just how rare childhood cancers are. More

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is much gentler on the patient, and can be more effective than standard cancer treatments. It relies on tumour-killing drugs that are activated only by light. In the case of skin cancer, for instance, a cream containing the drug is rubbed onto the area; a light is then shone onto it for 20 minutes.

This makes the drug generate a form of oxygen that destroys tumours in one go, without damaging the underlying structure of the surrounding tissue - and so greatly reducing the scarring, if any. (Patients describe the treatment as a “tingling” sensation). The same principle works for cancers inside the body, as long as you can get a light to them at the end of an endoscope (a flexible tube). For these areas, such as the lungs or the gut, the patient takes the drug and waits up to 24 hours for it to be absorbed by the tumour from your bloodstream.

Activating the drug with light then takes no longer than an hour and patients can often go home immediately. Photodynamic therapy has been used for a number of years at the National Medical Laser Centre based at University College Hospital, London. Yet despite its benefits, until recently it has been largely ignored as a cancer treatment. When Good Health first wrote about photodynamic therapy two years ago, our coverage sparked huge reader interest, with many cancer patients angry that it had not been offered to them instead of surgery.

Researchers from Lyon, France, found that some people with certain variations in a gene involved in breaking down alcohol in the body appear to have a lower risk for developing certain alcohol-related cancers.

Paul Brennan, head of the genetic epidemiology group at the International Agency for Research on Cancer, and his colleagues studied more than 3,800 people in Europe and Latin America who had cancers of the respiratory tract and upper digestive tract. What they found is that those who had a particular variation in the genes known as ADH1B and ADH7 metabolized alcohol much faster than those without the variation — about 100 times faster, to be exact. The results were released Sunday in the journal Nature Genetics. More

It is something you want to avoid: Listeria infections kill about 500 people a year in the U.S., and 2,000 more become seriously ill with food poisoning. Pregnant women are about 20 times more likely to become infected.

So it might surprise you that scientists want to inject patients who have HIV and cancer with the bacterium, whose scientific name is Listeria monocytogenes.

That is because Listeria creates a strong immune response in the body. Medical researchers are trying to harness this behavior by creating their own modified version of Listeria that is less dangerous as a bug, strengthens the immune system in general, and has the ability to get inside tumors. Once inside the tumor, the idea is for this bioengineered Listeria to give the immune system the green light to terminate the tumor with extreme prejudice. Read more

Some dermatologists have said that the translucent sheen helps ultraviolet rays penetrate the already fragile skin of the lips — thereby increasing your risk. These dermatologists may be on to something, according to some of the top experts in the field.

Dr. Jessica Fewkes, a face and neck skin cancer specialist at Harvard, draws a cautious analogy between wearing non-SPF (sun protection factor) lip gloss in the sun and using baby oil to promote tanning. “You might be able to infer that they both enhance UV exposure,” she says.

Dr. Kevin Cooper, chairman of the dermatology department at Case Western Reserve in Cleveland, explains that any increased penetration of ultraviolet rays would be due to “enhanced optical passage” of the dangerous rays. But the increase, he qualifies, would be small. Read more

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show
up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion.When
doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their
bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer
cells because they have not reached the detectable size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person’s
lifetime.

3. When the person’s immune system is strong the cancer cells will be
destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumours.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional
deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and
lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and
including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also
destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone
marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver,
kidneys, heart, lungs etc. Read more

Looks like a marketing strategy to me.

Linguistics expert Lewis Glinert, professor of Asian and Middle Eastern languages and literatures at Dartmouth, has found that the names of cancer medicines (common, trade, and generic names), often contain sounds associated with lightness, smallness, and fastness. He says that this might have a subtle effect on both the patient taking the medicine and the doctor prescribing it.

Rachel Nowak in NewScientist.com writes, It is something many cancer survivors have learned to live with. “Chemo brain” – a subtle decline in mental ability following chemotherapy – seems to be caused by the loss of fatty insulation protecting the brain’s vital nerve connections. Claims by patients that their thinking became muddled following cancer treatment were for years put down to the stress of having cancer, or living with the fear that the cancer would reappear. But evidence has mounted that chemotherapy damages the brain.

There are other health risks to consuming beef besides the items listed below–colon cancer for one; nevertheless, there are certain B-complex vitamins in beef that you cannot get from other sources.

(NaturalNews) There is new concern over evidence that growth and sex hormones in beef can cause genital abnormalities in boys, and early onset of puberty in girls.

British Veterinary Products Committee (VPC) member and chemical expert John Verall was appointed to the government’s VPC to represent consumer interests. He recently defied a government gag order, revealing evidence from the study which showed a rise in the rates of breast and prostate cancer in the United States, where two-thirds of all cattle are pumped full of hormones.

Men could reduce their risk of developing prostate cancer through regular masturbation, researchers suggest. They say cancer-causing chemicals could build up in the prostate if men do not ejaculate regularly. And they say sexual intercourse may not have the same protective effect because of the possibility of contracting a sexually transmitted infection, which could increase men’s cancer risk. Read on

I’ll be back later.
