Electrosmog and the Blood Brain Barrier
Would you volunteer your back yard as a dump site for spent fuel rods? Of
course not, because the invisible radiation would penetrate your dwelling, alter
your DNA and other tissues and greatly increase your risk of cancer.
Unfortunately, this is very likely what you are doing every time you hold a cell
phone up to your head to one degree or another. [1]
The issue surfaced when staff and students at a school in California developed
cancers at an extraordinary rate. Reminiscent of Erin Brokovich,
researcher Sam Milham investigated and found that the school, due to wiring and
other issues, was rife with "dirty electricity". Dirty electricity is the
kind produced from computers, cell phones and TV's that are low power. This
Interview with Sam Milham is very
informative.

(Jan 2010) just broke this story and did a fantastic job of showing that Emag radiation is far more dangerous
than previously thought and very likely causing significant cancers and other
health issues. I had already been pointing out on my twitter account that one study
had recently found
that cell phones may cause bone loss in the hip area of cell phone
carriers. [2]
However, the damage from electrical radition is probably far more insidious than
just a little bone loss here and there:

1. EMF signals (at levels even as low as wi-fi) can overstimulate the immune system and
may be partially responsible for some of the allergic and auto-immune epidemic
seen in modern societies. [3]
2. There is likely a small, but significant risk of a brain tumor just from work
exposure alone. [4]
3. Up to 80% of childhood leukemias may be attributable to EMF exposure during
pregnancy and infancy. [6]
This list could go on and on. However, I want to focus on something extremely
dangerous: mobile phone radiation can alter the permeability of the blood-brain barrier.
This had been verified in mammalian studies using standard cell phone signals
and standard GMS signals. [5]
Even worse, the researchers found that effects from this electrical radiation
persisted for weeks afterwards.
What does this mean? It means that modern urban dwellers are potentially
at much greater risk for excitotoxin damage than previous thought.
Hopefully, you have read my Excitotoxin page and know that excitotoxins, such as
MSG and those in Diet drinks, can damage the hypothalamus and cause Excitotoxin
Syndrome. However, excitotoxins can cause their greatest damage in the
brain itself. The food industry has always justified their use of excitotoxins
in food on the argument that the blood-brain barrier will protect your precious
neurons from damage. That, as it turns out, is a very poor assumption indeed:
even cell phone usage can allow significantly greater flow of any such chemicals
into the brain.
My advice: do not come with ten feet of excito-anything. It only
takes minute amounts in the animal studies to do incredible damage to the
mammalian brain. There is no one except you that can guard that
all-important stuff in your cranium from the food industry. (Again, thanks
