Prominent Neurosurgeon Questions "No-link" Study

No surprise. The study compared early subscribers who used phones very little with later ones who used phones much more. Prominent Australian neurosurgeon, Charles Teo comments, "After looking at the methods and make-up of the two cohorts, it's no wonder the non-subcribers have a higher incidence of tumors - they have a higher usage!"

Rapid response to British Medical Journal reveals flaws

Radiation expert Professor Denis Henshaw notes that no study has considered that cellphones typically release three different types of radiation: microwave, pulsing signals, and extremely low electro-magnetic fields. Read more.

War-games against cellphone science continue

In our society, science often reigns as the ultimate determinor of fact. But scientific studies, their findings, and interpretations are often manipulated to support the agenda of others. As our history books and popular culture remind us, there is no better example of this than the strategies of the tobacco and asbestos industries of the past.

"In 1994 Henry Lai and N.P. Singh showed that pulsed microwave radiation to the brains of rats mutate brain DNA... Their research proved inconvenient to those concerned with creating demand for these new devices. That was why some industry representatives first sought to keep the findings of Lai and Singh from being published. ...When all of these efforts to discredit their work failed, Motorola decided on what it described as a "war-gaming" set of public relations initiatives against the results (according to a Memo from Microwave News that was originally sent by the company's head of global affairs to a firm hired for precisely this purpose)." - Excerpt from the Afterword of the new Disconnect paperback.
