METROPOLIS HEALTHCARE CAUTIONS AGAINST RISE IN YOUNG WOMEN SUFFERING FROM PCOS LEADING TO POLYCYSTIC OVARIAN DISEASE HINDUSTAN TIMES 25 09 2014






 
Dear Reshma

Please pass on this email to Dr.Sushil Shah and Dr. Sonali Kolte.

Dear Dr. Shah and Dr. Kolte

We read with interest an interview given by Dr. Sonali Kolte to Hindustan Times, Mumbai reported in today's Paper.

We are concerned Citizens led by Ms Juhi Chawla Mehta  creating awareness on health hazards due EMF Radiation from Mobile Phones and Mobile Tower Antennae.

We would like to inform you that our team of Citizens and Doctors had also observed a substantial increase in PCOD in young women. 

They have linked it to putting of cell phones in pant / jeans pockets by young ladies in the hip pockets or side pockets without turning the cell phones off.

A recent visit by a Finnish radiation expert Dr. Dariusz Leszczynski also confirmed that Data downloading on smart phones is a major radiation problem. The phones of these young ladies is always on and the data transfer creates higher radiation.

Can you reconfirm with your patients where they put their phones and whether their phones are smart phones and if their data downloads are always on.

I am not sure if you have a smart phone and if you have read the user’s manual.
The Blackberry and Iphone users manual mention very clearly that the phone should be kept 10 mm from the body. Please also read iphone 6 manual.

Latest iphone 6 user manual out... It also says... in case of discomfort, stop using iphone and consult a physician... Pg 170

Dr. Divya Prabhat of Bhatia Hospital ENT Surgeon has confirmed a big increase in hearing loss cases in Mumbai which can possibly lead to glioma of the auditory nerve with unlimited use of mobile phones. Please see his interview video on www.controlradiation.org.

I would love to meet you both and share our thoughts.

We would like to invite you to meet Dr.Devra Davis an American Health and Environment expert  visiting India next week. 

Please contact me on phone. 022 23685256 , 23672115 to support our Awareness Program.

2. http://www.ehso.com/ehshome/cellphonecancer.php Cell Phones, Cancers and Brain Tumors. Do cell phones cause Cancer?
What is the REAL story?
August 2014 - WebMD, Medscape Medical News: Children Face Higher Health Risk From Cell Phones, The potential harm from microwave radiation (MWR) given off by wireless devices, particularly for children and unborn babies, is the highlight of a new review.Although the data are conflicting, links between MWR and cancer have been observed.
May 31, 2011 - WHO (World Health Organization) IARC just announced that radiation from cell phones can possibly cause cancer, as reported by CNN. The agency now lists mobile phone use in the same "carcinogenic hazard" category as lead, engine exhaust and chloroform. Note that this is a reversal of WHO's previous position. According to CNN, the Apple iPhone 4 safety manual warns users, "When using iPhone near your body for voice calls or for wireless data transmission over a cellular network, keep iPhone at least 15 mm (5/8 inch) away from the body." and Blackberry Bold advises users to, "keep the BlackBerry device at least 0.98 in. (25 mm) from your body when the BlackBerry device is transmitting." See this page for the IARC's page on the subject.
Also please read in iphone 6 safety manual more shocking details.
May 17, 2010 - According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (funded in part by WHO, the World Health Organization) using a cell phone for as little as 30 minutes may increase your risk of getting a brain tumor (glioma). The study is reported to have included 13,000 participants over 10 years.

Is there a scientist in the European Commission’s SCENIHR and the World Health Organization who is suppressing Lennart Hardell’s science?

The independent science is clear, but is being suppressed: “smart” meters, cell/grid towers, phones, and wi-fi are causing devastating harm to us and our children.
In May 2011 the World Health Organization’s cancer committee, IARC, voted to classify the RF – EMF Spectrum as a 2B or “possible human carcinogen.” Worldwide attention was once again focused on the possible cancer causing effects of RF (microwave) radiation, yet in the three years since the 2B classification, two divergent paths have been taken with respect to the science focusing on cell phones and brain tumors.
On one hand, the Hardell Group from Sweden led by oncologist Dr. Lennart Hardell published five more studies in 2013 – for the first time looking at over 20 years of data. As a result of these findings Dr. Hardell has called for an urgent upgrading of the classification of RF – EMF from 2B to Group 1 – a known human carcinogen. If IARC were to accept Dr. Hardell’s recommendation, RF – EMF would then be placed in the same carcinogenic category as tobacco and asbestos.
On the other hand, there appears to be a back-room effort to ignore, denounce and bury Dr. Hardell’s newest science by two highly recognized groups, the World Health Organization and SCENIHR, the European Commission’s Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks.
Susan Foster, on behalf of the UK’s Radiation Research Trust, has discovered that one man appears to be responsible for the attempted suppression of what is arguably the best epidemiological research in the world on cell phone usage and its correlation to gliomas and acoustic neuromas. This science could threaten a multi-trillion dollar industry; thus the stakes could not be higher – for corporate profits, yet more importantly, for the health of people all over the world.
In her letter of May 8, 2014 to the European Commission’s John Ryan, Acting Director of the European Commission’s Health and Consumers division, Susan Foster accuses SCENIHR of scientific misconduct. She further asks for a thorough review of the process whereby science was selected for SCENIHR’s Preliminary Report. SCENIHR had been given the charge of reviewing the present RF – EMF safety limits affecting over 500,000,000 European citizens.
“This is not ‘independence’ on SCENIHR’s part,” states Susan Foster. “This is scientific misconduct. SCENIHR is claiming to be something it is not, and hundreds of millions of lives are at stake as well as the ability to impact standards worldwide, albeit indirectly.”
Susan Foster joins Eileen O’Connor, Director of the UK’s Radiation Research Trust in demanding a new unbiased evaluation of health risks from RF – EMF by SCENIHR.

SCENIHR Preliminary Report on Potential Health Effects of Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields (EMF)
Dear Mr. Ryan:
The concern about the 2014 SCENIHR Preliminary Report has been swiftsevere, and global. It causes those who know the science and comprehend the potential for harm from microwave radiation to ask if SCENIHR is truly a body worth listening to, or has it lost all credibility. In hopes that all is not lost, I am writing to express my profound concern that industry-bias is destroying the ability of standard-setting bodies to protect the citizens of Europe, and indirectly, citizens on a global scale.
As an Advisor to the UK’s Radiation Research Trust (RRT), I am following up on RRT Director Eileen O’Connor’s recent letter to you asking for a thorough review of the SCENIHR Preliminary Report and the process itself by which science is selected for consideration. I contend the current selection process by SCENIHR is suggestive of a pattern of scientific fraud that is intended to suppress high quality science in order to preserve the way the telecommunications industry conducts business. The question must be asked if both SCENIHR and the World Health Organization are being influenced or controlled by the same interests and individuals who favor industry profits over their charge of protecting the public health.
No fewer than 500 million citizens of the European Commission are relying on SCENIHR for review of the current EMF standards, which have already been criticized as being set more than a thousand times higher than the level at which adverse biological impacts occur. When standards are set this high, it allows the manufacturers to falsely yet legally assure consumers, “There is no health problem or safety concern as the level of exposure is 1/1000th of what is allowable.” Thus there is the promise of safety, which is only an illusion because so-called “safety standards” are set capriciously high to begin with. There is no legitimate, independent science that will declare the current standards are safe. Absolutely none.
In my opinion and that of many others, the 2014 SCENIHR Preliminary Report inaccurately and, in part, fraudulently assesses the existing science. It ignores the new science by Lennart Hardell (five studies in 2013) in which he calls for radiofrequency RF – EMF to be classified a Group 1 carcinogen. Yet rarely has “dismissing” a group of studies shone the spotlight on them so brightly. It is causing people around the world to ask what is so significant about these new Hardell studies. The answer to that question may shed some light on the inner-workings and true motivation behind some key SCENIHR scientists.
It was the Hardell Group’s earlier science that IARC, the World Health Organization’s cancer committee, used along with the Interphone Study before declaring a 2B classification in May 2011 for all EMF within the RF Spectrum. The newer Hardell epidemiological studies cover more than 20 years, something no similar study has ever done, and the results are so convincing that Lennart Hardell states in his conclusion that RF – EMF should be urgently upgraded to a human carcinogen with no “possible” or “probable” qualifications. Dr. Hardell makes the case that RF radiation belongs in the Group 1 human carcinogen category.
By ignoring Hardell’s science, SCENIHR attempts to marginalize and even suppress the Hardell Group’s science which could change the way the world—consumers, courts, and governments alike—view the use of wireless in today’s world. Why would SCENIHR, a group composed predominantly of industry-friendly scientists, work so hard to pretend they “had not received” or “did not like the methodology of the epidemiology” of the 2013 Hardell studies? There is a possible answer to this question. A Group 1 or even a 2A classification changes the “causation” argument in cell phone/brain tumor court cases, and will make it easier for victims who have developed brain tumors related to cell phone usage to prevail in the courts. When consumers prevail in the courts, it may force the mobile industry toward a more cost effective manufacturing decision to shield mobile phones and find safer ways (e.g., fiber optics) to replace microwave signal transmissions. It would, at least in the short run, increase costs for the mobile industry and decrease profits. I believe the Hardell Group’s 2013 studies are game-changing, and as such, the industry wants this science suppressed.
To further the concern that SCENIHR is not operating in good faith, the one scientist who was touted by SCENIHR as being their proof of objectivity is Dr. Kjell Hansson Mild of Sweden. Dr. Hansson Mild is one of the co-authors along with Dr. Lennart Hardell in four of the five studies published in 2013 and subsequently ignored by both the World Health Organization (WHO) in its 2014 World Cancer Report and SCENIHR. For SCENIHR to pin their reputation as an objective body on the presence of Dr. Hansson Mild, and then to ignore five Hardell studies, four of which were co-authored by Dr. Mild himself, is the height of hypocrisy. It casts a deep shadow of doubt on SCENIHR’s Report. I am aware that Dr. Hansson Mild has come forward with a letter detailing his attempts to have the 2013 Hardell Group science included in SCENIHR’s report, and his efforts were denied. He described bringing the Hardell Group studies to the attention of Dr. Joachim Schüz, in particular. These papers were delivered within the time frame for acceptance of publication and are relevant as they provide evidence of the link between mobile phone use and glioma and acoustic neuroma. The Hardell papers were systematically disregarded while SCENIHR relies heavily on the much criticized Danish cohort study using poor exposure data. [See Söderqvist F, Carlberg M, Hardell L. Review of four publications on the Danish cohort study on mobile phone subscribers and risk of brain tumors. Reviews Environmental Health. 2012; 27: 51-58.]
When another highly criticized study was sent to SCENIHR [Benson et al, with Joachim Schüz as a co-author], including two reports that were published during the same time or even after the Hardell studies, it was included in the SCENIHR Preliminary Report. This study failed to find a link between cell phones and cancer, and when it initially did find a link between cell phones and acoustic neuroma, the authors, including Schüz, failed to discuss it in the Abstract. The systematic inclusion of poor quality science with industry backing, and the systematic exclusion of Hardell’s science, allowed SCENIHR to come to an erroneous conclusion that evidence for glioma is weaker now than in 2009. This sort of “cherry-picking” favors industry profits over consumer protection and thus the SCENIHR Report should not even be considered science.
This is not “independence” on SCENIHR’s part. This is scientific misconduct. SCENIHR is claiming to be something it is not, and hundreds of millions of lives are at stake as well as the ability to impact standards worldwide, albeit indirectly.
It is important to note that Dr. Joachim Schüz has been named as the key person to whom Hardell’s science was delivered and summarily dismissed, both as Head of IARC’s Section of Environment and Radiation and as a SCENIHR Committee Member. As Dr. Mild wrote to you in a letter dated 28 April 2014: “It must be clearly stated that Dr Schüz refused to include these studies in SCENIHR and that the omission is his responsibility.” Dr. Mild elaborates: “[Schüz] clearly stated that the epidemiological part was solely his responsibility to write and furthermore he himself was to decide what to include.” It is also important to note that Schüz has received industry funding for much of his participation in studies such as Interphone and COSMOS which had predictable findings. Should Dr. Schüz’s influence continue to be felt at SCENIHR, and by the same token, at IARC?
Gratefully, the BioInitiative Working Group is offering us an alternative that is receiving increasing recognition and respect around the world and, as you know from Cindy Sage’s recent letter to you, BioInitiative has done a thorough review of SCENIHR’s Report and issued its response. I am offering the link to the BioInitiative Working Group’s letter commenting on the 2014 SCENIHR Preliminary Report. http://www.bioinitiative.org/potential-health-effects-emf/
Mona Nilsson on behalf of the Swedish Radiation Protection Foundation submitted her comments to SCENIHR on 16 April 2014, and they are well-worth reading. I have included a link to Ms. Nilsson’s comments, in which she writes to SCENIHR: “The Preliminary Opinion of SCENIHR gives a false and even fraudulent presentation of research results and statistical data. Critical data are abundantly omitted or ignored. Studies and results showing health risks from radiofrequency and low frequency radiation are misrepresented. Studies showing no risks with severe limitations and errors are instead presented without any relevant criticism.” http://www.emfacts.com/2014/05/further-critique-of-the-scenihr-spin/
I join the RRT’s Director Eileen O’Connor, Cindy Sage on behalf of the BioInitiative Working Group, Mona Nilsson of the Swedish Radiation Protection Foundation, and scores of others in calling upon the European Commission to investigate possible conflicts of interest on the part of SCENIHR scientists, and to demand a thorough investigation of the selection process of science for the 2014 SCENIHR Preliminary Report. I also call for a new unbiased evaluation of health risks from RF – EMF by SCENIHR.
Respectfully Yours,
