Mobile Phone Radiation May Be Harmful, According to Recent Scientific Findings Presented at London Conference
The conference comes at an important moment in history as the debate continues surrounding the safety of cellular phone use.
Magnussen will present the findings of Dr. Henry Lai, research professor at the University of Washington, and his evidence of single- and double-strand DNA breaks as a result of exposure to cellular phone radiation, and how these effects are mitigated by changing the appearance of the phone radiation to the biological cells by superimposing a "noise field" (see below) developed by EMX.
The electromagnetic "noise field" does not interfere with the operation of the phone or quality of the conversation -- it simply scrambles the biological cells' reception of the phone's radiation and keeps the cells relaxed.
"Each of our body's cells functions like a tiny hospital, and has the ability to repair itself each day," said Magnussen. "However, with exposure to cellular phone radiation, over time its ability to fix itself is decreased. By superimposing an inaudible counteracting electromagnetic noise field on the cell phone's regularly pulsing electromagnetic fields, the repair mechanisms function at top speed again."
This conference marks the world release of these findings after a research and development phase of 15 years that involved the U.S. Army and five universities.
The conference, "Mobile Telephones and Health -- the Latest Developments," is an objective forum to discuss and report on the latest findings surrounding the health issues from the use of mobile phones, and is organized by City & Financial in London, an independent conference facilitator.
The keynote address will be presented by Professor Lawrie Challis, deputy chairman of the Independent Expert Group on Mobile Phones (IEGMP), a group established by the U.K. Public Health Minister in 1999 to make recommendations to the government on the health effects of cellular phone use. Researchers in the industry from around the world will be presenting their findings.
Magnussen holds a master of science degree in engineering and a doctorate in engineering and physical chemistry, as well as a master of business administration degree. Since 1995, Magnussen has monitored one of the largest research efforts within the electromagnetic fields and biology issue, initially funded by the U.S. Army and ongoing since 1986.
EMX has continued the funding of the research on electromagnetic fields produced by cell phones and many common consumer appliances and their effect on human biology, and proposes a solution through the form of the EMF BioChip, a microchip that randomizes the electromagnetic field wave to mitigate biological effects.
Lai, professor in bioengineering at the University of Washington, has conducted research on the biological effects of electromagnetic fields since 1979. His research is mainly on the effects of exposure to radiofrequency and extremely low frequency fields on the nervous system.
Presentation Summary -- Dr. Thomas Magnussen
The Catholic University of America, Washington, D.C.; Columbia University, New York; University of Western Ontario, Canada; and Aarhus University, Denmark, have demonstrated the ability of the "EMX" noise field to mitigate a variety of biological effects induced by electromagnetic fields such as cell phone radiation.
Through the past two years, Dr. Henry Lai, University of Washington, Seattle, has been working on testing the ability of the "EMX" noise field to mitigate other important biological effects:
- Lai's research demonstrated that the "EMX" noise field
mitigates the type of DNA single- and double-strand breaks
induced by microwave radiation, published in 1995 and 1996 by Lai and Dr. Maremdra Singh, and confirmed by Dr. Jerry
Phillips in 1998. The method of measurement is a highly sensitive microgel single cell electrophoresis method, also called "comet assay" because the broken DNA strands appear as a "comet tail."
- Lai has also shown that the "EMX" noise field mitigates
microwave-induced effects on rat brain function (memory
impairment), which were reported earlier by Lai and other
scientists. A mechanism is proposed for how something as dramatic as DNA breaks may occur:
-- Low-level EMF, such as cell phone radiation, does not contain sufficient energy to cause direct damage to molecules such as DNA strand breaks.
-- However, more than 10 universities have shown that low-level EMF induces biological stress. The stress reaction is fundamental for the ability of the cell to repair cellular structures damaged by free radicals -- which are ever present in the cellular environment. The ability of low-level EMF to "stimulate" cells is the basis for applying such fields in hospital therapy.
-- By repetitive exposure, such as regularly using a cellular phone, the cell will have to down-regulate the stress response. This means that by repeated exposure, the cell's ability to repair free radical damage to biomolecules such as DNA will suffer and an accumulation of DNA strand breaks will result.
