Court ruling: Mobile and cordless phones cause brain tumors
(NaturalNews) For the very first time, a supreme court has ruled that
using mobile or cordless phones is directly linked to causing brain
tumors, affirming what many scientists have been saying for years now
about the dangers of cell phone radiation. The U.K.'s
Telegraph reports that 60-year-old Innocente Marcolini, who developed a tumor in
his trigeminal nerve, was ruled to have suffered this fate as a result
of using his mobile handset for up to six hours every day for 12 years.
According
to Italy's Supreme Court in Rome, there is a "causal link" between
Marcolini's mobile phone use and the non-cancerous tumor that caused the
entire left side of his face to become paralyzed. A respected
oncologist and professor of environmental mutagenesis, Dr. Angelo Gino
Levis, along with neurosurgeon Dr. Guiseppe Grasso, provided evidence at
a recent trial showing that the electromagnetic radiation emitted from
mobile and cordless phones damages cells.
"This is significant
for very many people," said Marcolini to reporters about his case's
ruling. "I wanted this problem to become public because many people
still do not know the risks. I wanted it recognized that there was a
link between my illness and the use of mobile phones and cordless
phones," he added, noting that he now has to take the extremely powerful
painkiller morphine every single day just to cope with his the agony.
Though
Marcolini's brain tumor is non-cancerous, it still reportedly
threatened to kill him because it had been encroaching on his carotid
artery, which is the major blood vessel responsible for transporting
blood to the
brain.
The tumor also developed directly next to where Marcolini typically held
his phone next to his ear, illustrating how significantly mobile phone
radiation can disrupt proper brain cell function.
Last year, the
World Health Organization (WHO) ruled that mobile phone devices are a "Possible Human Carcinogen," and
added them to the Class 2B carcinogens list. Earlier this year, researchers out of Washington also came forward with research showing that
cell phone radiation causes significant damage to DNA, which can lead to cancer.
"Today,
there are more than two billion cell phone users being exposed every
day to the dangers of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) -- dangers
government regulators and the cell phone industry refuse to admit
exist," wrote Sue Kovach
in a 2007 Life Extension Magazine report. "Included are: genetic damage, brain dysfunction, brain tumors, and other conditions such as sleep disorders and headaches."
