It is thus quite possible that living organisms have a two-fold sensitivity to the pulsed GSM signal--ie, to both the microwave carrier and the lower frequency pulsing of the TDMA and DTX signals.                             These and other studies suggest that not only does heavy cell phone use cause detrimental changes in users brain tissue,but also we maybe well into a virtual epidemic of EMF caused illnesses.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Professor]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 31st 2008 1:39PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Cell Phones a Greater Threat Than Smoking, Asbestos?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/03/31/cell-phones-a-greater-threat-than-smoking-asbestos/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/03/31/cell-phones-a-greater-threat-than-smoking-asbestos/</guid><description><![CDATA[From 1990 to 2002, the overall age-adjusted incidence rates for brain cancer decreased slightly; from 7.0 cases to 6.4 cases for every 100,000 persons in the United States.<br><br>Looking at long term trends for specific age groups, there is an increase in incidence and this is due, at least in part, to the improvements in the ability to diagnose brain tumors in elderly patients.<br><br><a href="http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/braintumorstudy" rel="nofollow">http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/braintumorstudy</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[jm]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 31st 2008 3:59PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Cell Phones a Greater Threat Than Smoking, Asbestos?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/03/31/cell-phones-a-greater-threat-than-smoking-asbestos/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/03/31/cell-phones-a-greater-threat-than-smoking-asbestos/</guid><description><![CDATA[One item that was not discussed is whether using hands free devices on the ear minimize the threat.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ed suarez]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 31st 2008 11:16PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Cell Phones a Greater Threat Than Smoking, Asbestos?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/03/31/cell-phones-a-greater-threat-than-smoking-asbestos/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/03/31/cell-phones-a-greater-threat-than-smoking-asbestos/</guid><description><![CDATA[To "jm" quoting a fall in age-adjusted cancer rates, please visit<br>www.cbtrus.org, one of the most comprehensive US-based sites for the collection and analysis of brain tumour incidence data, and read their report. You will note an overall 15% increase in primary brain tumour incidence between the 1994 and 2002 datasets (all acquired in the US's MRI era), and this rate of increase is validated by several studies as quoted on brain-surgery.us/mobilephone.html<br>VGK]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Vini G.
