Ottawa school board's Wi-Fi plan scares parents (CBC)

Conflicting reports from WHO, Health Canada leave parents in the dark

"Some west Ottawa parents are speaking out about their concerns with wireless internet connections in their children's school, saying not enough is known about long-term exposure to Wi-Fi . . .

"Our children should be dissecting rats, they shouldn't be functioning as lab rats," Van Hees said, "And this constitutes as a massive experiment on children." "Jessica Van Hees says children are being put at risk by schools that have Wi-Fi. (CBC)

"About one-third of schools at the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board are already equipped for Wi-Fi, but the plan is to have all schools, including portables, ready by the end of 2012. Semple and Van Hees Both say their school has not informed them about installing Wi-Fi, which is set for March.

"There is conflicting information about whether exposure to radio frequencies from a wireless internet connection is a health hazard.

"A World Health Organization report from May 2011 indicates the frequencies may be linked to some forms of cancer. In December, Health Canada updated its website to acknowledge the alternative viewpoint from international agencies but insists more research is needed and Wi-Fi is no cause for concern . . .

"It's been 9 months since the WHO warned of a cell phone and mobile tower radiation leading to increased risks of cancer.So what has the government done to protect you and raise awareness on the potential risks and do's and dont's. The issue of radiation itself that we are exploring covers two major areas. The first - radiation from mobile phone towers that have cropped up all over cities over the last decade posing a huge health risk. The second is radiation from cellphone that you and me are exposed to on a day to day basis out of regular usage and which there's seemingly no getting away from."

Microwave Exposure and Steve Jobs' Cancer

Public testimony at the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors meeting on 11/7/11.



"Apparently people around Jobs claimed that he had a reality distortion field. This claim came about because he would make demands that could not be met and voila, they were met. He had a way of making things happen. But it is very sad that he was not successful with his cancer. According to an article in the Washington Post he tried many alternative therapies. The article goes on to state: The book delves into Jobs' decision to delay surgery for nine months after learning in October 2003 that he had a neuroendocrine tumor -- a relatively rare type of pancreatic cancer that normally grows more slowly and is therefore more treatable.

"In the book, Cross Currents, Robert Becker, MD wrote, "At this time, the scientific evidence is absolutely conclusive: 50-60 Hz magnetic fields cause human cancer cells to permanently increase their rate of growth by as much 1,600 per cent and to develop more malignant characteristics." Dr. Becker studied the effects of EMF/RF for over 20 years and applied the increase of cell growth from EMF to help heal bones He documented that there was an increase in the incidence of cancers that are in tissues with continuous rates of cell division (1975 - 1990). These cancers are lymphoma, myeloma, melanoma, breast , testicular, prancreatic, kidney and colon.

"All electronics have EMFs. Our wireless products also emit microwaves which have been shown to be even more cancer inducing as they interfere with the recombining of DNA leading to more double strand breaks, disrupt the blood brain barrier; inhibit the pineal gland's production of the essential anti-cancer endocrine melatonin; disrupt normal sleep patterns; induce ion exchange reactions; interfere with the influx and efflux mechanisms of neurones; increase the manufacture of chronic levels of heat-shock proteins with repeated exposures; and result in inflammatory responses.

"Steve Jobs belief system did not save him from the harmful effects of EMF/RF, but perhaps he thought he was so immune from harm that there was no reason to care. If he did, it is clear that his belief system offered him no protection. Robert Kane, an engineer with Motorola had no such belief system and after he developed burns and later a brain tumor he suspected a connection to his work on prototype cell phones. His book, Cellular Telephone, Russian Roulette chronicles the evidence to date (2001) regarding the toxic biological effects of EMF/RF. Kane unsuccessfully sued Motorola for the brain tumor which later claimed his life.

911 My Bronte Fire Station

Cell Towers in Residential Neighbourhoods are Dangerous



Public to Meet Over Bronte Cell Tower
"Say No to Cell  Towers in Residential Neighbourhoods" website

"Microwave cell phone antennas should not be placed on or near fire halls. These brave firefighters risk their lives to protect us and our property. During fires they can be exposed to potentially toxic fumes, some of which may be carcinogenic. This is a risk they train for and are willing to take. They should not be asked to work at a firehall that exposes them to microwave radiation for the benefit of a cellular provider. Microwave radiation has been classified as a possible human carcinogen by the World Health Organization.

"Studies show that microwave radiation can interact with chemicals to give an even deadlier mixture. Cancer cells can become more aggressive and multiply rapidly when mice are exposed to both a cancer causing substance and microwave radiation at the same time. This does not bode well for fire fighters.

"Fire fighters already take many risks to make our world a safer place. Let's ensure that their place of work, is as safe and healthy as possible."
