http://www.emfnews.org/products.html Sharesa Price thought it was just another in a series of sinus infections. Her head and eyes hurt, and she was vomiting. But then Price had a seizure, and a brain scan found something far more troubling. "When I got home, the phone was ringing. It was the doctor's office, and they told me, `Brace yourself. Honey, you have a brain tumor.' I was standing by the refrigerator, and I just collapsed, saying, `no, no, no, it can't be a brain tumor,'" she recalled. After her diagnosis in 1999 and surgery to remove most of the tumor, Price started looking for answers. She became convinced that exposure to radio-frequency radiation on the job, where she programmed cell phones for new customers, had caused the tumor. In May, an administrative law judge who handles worker's compensation claims awarded her $30,000 to pay her medical bills and other expenses. Price may be the first person to convince a judge that her illness was caused by radio-frequency radiation. The decision is unlikely to have widespread repercussions for the cell phone industry, however, because the settlement was small.
Price's customers at Advanced Communications Systems in northern California were doctors, firefighters, police departments and security departments for casinos, and she loved her work. She used a cell phone several hours each day, and the room in which she worked contained transmitters that emitted radio-frequency radiation, she said. Price said when she filed a workers comp claim, her boss fired her, eliminating her health insurance. Then she lost the case. The Native American single mother of two daughters was devastated. She turned to Tribal
Health, a government health agency for Native Americans, to get anti-seizure medication.
"If I hadn't been Indian, I would have died," she said. Her former boss, Dave Bohlen, said that he did not fire Price, that she quit based on her doctor's advice that she not return to work there. Bohlen said he dropped the insurance because she was no longer an employee. He called her worker's comp case "frivolous" and said there was no proof her tumor was caused by working in his small shop.
"There's nothing harmful going on here," he said.After Price recovered from brain surgery, she went to the Internet and found researchers studying the biological effects of radio-frequency radiation, and got to know them.
"I would call them up and say, `You are absolutely dead on. If a rat could talk, this is what it would say. I'm the human rat.' "
Price couldn't find an attorney to take her case until she contacted Carl Hilliard, a semi-retired lawyer and
president of the Wireless Consumers Alliance, a California-based consumer-advocacy group. Hilliard
volunteered to represent her pro bono and re-filed her workers comp case.
Hilliard said his group has represented cell phone users in issues involving poor service, billing problems and misrepresentations by cell phone service providers.
"We're the ones who filed a case saying federal law does not pre-empt state law [on consumer issues] and won that case four years ago," Hilliard said.
Hilliard brought in Dr. Nachman Brautbar, an occupational toxicologist and clinical professor of medicine at the University of Southern California School of Medicine, to review Price's medical records.
Brautbar has been an expert witness in a number of high-profile cases, including the chromium poisonings
from polluted drinking water portrayed in the movie Erin Brockovich.
Brautbar reviewed Price's case and wrote a report supporting her claim that the tumor was caused by
exposure to radio-frequency radiation.
"It's not a money issue, suing the company, it's a health and safety issue," said Price, who speaks to school assemblies and classes about the need to use a headset when talking on a cell phone. "We need to explain to people that just like putting on condoms, you have to take this precautionary measure to make the product be as safe as it can be. http://www.emfnews.org

I recently taught English at a large private school in Thailand. Of the 120 seven-year-olds I taught, 80 (66%) owned a cell phone! :-(

Great video!
Vaccines are similarly causing widespread harm, which is similarly dismissed as being negligeable or non-existent. There is however an important difference: although the telecommunications industry is likewise guility of scientific fraud, at least it provides a service; the vaccine industry provides none, as - contrary to medical and pharmaceutical mythology - vaccines have never prevented anything apart from health, sanity and common sense.

So a French guy did this piece?
I think this was done in 2003/04. I had that little motorola phone that kid had, and that Dell was 2003. Funny that Apple wasn't a company shown in phone production, or HTC, or Palm. (no duh to the youtube user who wants to tell me why)
It also showed MCI. hah

Soo cell phones use RF = radio frequency signals. That means TV, radios, laptops, wifihotspots all cause cancer? What about the guy who invented the first cell phone.. why isnt he dead yet? He sure uses the phone alot in many tv shows that ive seen, maybe hes faking the call?

@MiKikaIwaShizaru Too much ignorance. You're not wrong there.
For once.

People had brain tumours before other people made money selling them a service they demanded and paid for.
I find it disgusting that people will complain about masts frying their brains from several miles away while they talk all day on their own cordless phones, have Bluetooth headsets, wireless mice, wireless keyboards, wireless doorbells and WiFi and it is always OTHER PEOPLE'S phone calls and the evil profit motive which cause the cancers which have been killing people for centuries.

In my county (Hillsborough County, FL, near Tampa) almost very school is eligible for a cellular tower, it's a crime against humanity perpetrated by very ignorant cellular companies.
I have been suffering since July 2008, it IS the cell towers, I've been up close to them, awful Lo Freq sound creates noise AND vibration, can feel electrical feeling very bad tonight, no escape from this insanity that is 3-4 miles away from me.
I pity people living closer than me, too much ignorance.

Cell phone use by children is being warned against all around the globe.
English leaders have warned that children should only use cell phones in emergencies.
The French government has warned its citizens to reduce children's telephone calls to no more than six minutes.
In Japan, it is illegal to use a cell phone on a train, due to concerns of second hand radiation.
Germany, Belgium, Israel, and India also advise children to limit their use of cell phones.
Please dont let a child use one!
