Summary

Recently disclosed epidemiological data indicate a dramatic increase in the incidence of autism spectrum disorders. Previously, the incidence of autism has been reported as 4-5 per 10,000 children. The most recent evidence indicates an increased incidence of about 1 per 500 children. However, the etiology of autism is yet to be determined. The recently disclosed data suggest a possible correlation between autism incidence and a previously unconsidered environmental toxin. It is generally accepted in the scientific community that radiofrequency radiation is a biologically active substance. It is also readily acknowledged that human exposures to radiofrequency radiation have become pervasive during the past twenty years, whereas such exposures were uncommon prior to that time. It is suggested that fetal or neo-natal exposures to radiofrequency radiation may be associated with an increased incidence of autism.

Dangers of the wireless cell phone, wi-fi and emf age Part 1

The Radiation Poisoning of America by Amy Worthington
By whiterose August 9, 2008
Prior to 1996, the wireless age was not coming online fast enough, primarily because communities had the authority to block the siting of cell towers. But the Federal Communications Act (1996) made it virtually impossible for communities to stop construction of cell towers —even if they pose threats to public health and the environment. Since the decision to enter the age of wireless convenience was politically determined for us, we have forgotten well-documented safety and environmental concerns and, with a devil-may-care zeal that is lethally short-sighted, we have incorporated into our lives every wireless toy that comes on the market as quickly as it becomes available. We behave as if we are addicted to radiation. Our addiction to cell phones has led to harder “drugs” like wireless Internet. And now we are bathing in the radiation that our wireless enthusiasm has financed. The addicted, uninformed, corporately biased and politically-influenced may dismiss our scientifically-sound concerns about the apocalyptic hazards of wireless radiation. But we must not. Instead, we must sound the alarm.

EMFs, Pregnancy & Autism

New Study Puts Autism Prevalence at 1 in 91

Mobile phone towers a threat to honey bees: study


One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.

makes a lot of sense....

here in jersey, autism rate is high, and we are so close together and close to toxins...\

what do you think about the possibility that all these ultrasounds on pregnant women are doing it?

Women are often warned of the dangers of elevating the temperature in the womb over a certain amount. The fetus has no way of regulating its own body temperature and, therefore. allowing the amniotic fluid to reach certain high temperatures for extended periods of time can result in neurological and cellular damage. Many doctors still warn against taking hot baths for too long and pregnant woman are expected to seek medical attention if they get high temperature fevers. And yet, one of the main dangers of ultrasound is this very thing so many pregnant women are warned about. Ultrasounds increase the temperature of the amniotic fluid. When experimenting with ultrasounds on pregnant rats and other mammals the elevated temperature, caused by the ultrasound, often results in fetal brain damage of the unborn off-spring. And the longer the ultrasound session lasts the hotter the amniotic fluid gets.

Another possible danger of the ultrasound are the high frequency sound waves. Ultrasounds are loud inside the womb. A study conducted in 2001 recorded the sound of an ultrasound to the baby in the womb as being equivalent to a subway train. That is a lot of noise for newly developing cells and tiny developing ears.

WHY HAVE FEMALES NEVER BEEN WARNED OF THE DANGER OF ULTRASOUNDS TO THEIR UNBORN FETUSES??WHY DON'T THEY HAVE TO SIGN A DISCLOSUE FORM ALLOWING THIS PROCEDURE ON THEIR UNBORN FETUS??? WHY AREN'T THEY AWARE OF THE CORRELATION BETWEEN AUTISM AND ULTRASOUND??? IS THE PROFIT SO GREAT THAT THERE'S NO STOPPING BIG BUSINESS??
IN EVERY INDUSTRIALIZED NATION THERE IS ONE THING WE ALL HAVE IN COMMON...THE ROUTINE PRCEDURE OF GIVING FETUSES UNNECESSARY ULTRASOUNDS!! RADIATION HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO INCREASE IN POWER WITHOUT ANY CONTROLS. LOOK THIS UP ON THE WEB.
