Mobile-phone pulse triggers evoked potentials

0.00 (0 votes)
Document Description
Dr. Marino has provided us with a milestone document that proves that cell phone radiation causes direct deleterious effects in the central nervous system. It is totally forbidden, from a medical ethics perspective, to alter the normal electro-chemical physiology of the human brain. The hopes of the cell phone industry that this can be done with no harm is but a criminal fraud that attempts to protect an industry destined to disappear in the next 10 years because of the dead it causing around the planet. The publication of the Glaser list is providing concrete evidence of these neurological dysfunctions that were known in Medicine decades before the rise of the corrupted Electromagnetic Fields Project of the World Health Organisation.

systems can exhibit such behavior.
We did not address the question of the anatomical location of the
electroreceptor cell. The observed latencies (Table 2) were consis-
tent with a location anywhere in the body. Animal studies, however,
suggested the electroreceptor cell was located in the head, possibly
the cerebellum [9,13]. The actual transduction process may involve
ion channels having field-sensitive gating characteristics [12].
We used a simulated rather than actual mobile-phone pulse
as the stimulus. We accepted this limitation to avoid confounding
effects, and to increase the reproducibility of the effective stimulus.
Nevertheless the pulse was represented verisimilarly enough that
the brain potential it triggered could reasonably be imputed to that
produced by an actual mobile-phone pulse.
In summary, a pulse of the type produced by mobile phones was
transduced by 90% of the subjects studied, as indicated by the occur-
rence of EPs. The implication of our results is that mobile phones
trigger EP at the rate of 217 Hz during ordinary phone use. One
possibility is that chronic administration of the periodic changes in
brain electrical activity causes or promotes disease.
