Other Health Effects
"There are documented biological effects of RF fields even at low, non-thermal exposure levels, below Safety Code 6 exposure limits. These biological effects include alterations in the activity of the enzyme ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), in calcium regulation, and in the permeability of the blood-brain barrier. Some of these biological effects brought about by non-thermal exposure levels of RF could potentially be associated with adverse health effects." Excerpted from page 3 of the Royal Society Report.
Published and peer-reviewed science gives evidence of the following health risks from exposure to wireless technologies:
Glioma, acoustic neuroma, meningioma, leukemia, DNA damage, chromosomal abnormalities, blood brain barrier leakage, calcium efflux, sperm head abnormalities, DNA and RNA oxidative damage in the mitochondria, reproductive abnormalities, Alzheimers, breast cancer risk, increase in primary malignancies, changes in corticosterone levels and immune system function.

Autism: The Microwave Factor - It Just Makes Sense
The Link Between Wireless Technology and the Rise in Autism
"Autism is an increasingly common neurological disorder that usually results in abnormal development of social interaction, communication skills and processing of sensory information. There is a considerable amount of debate and scientific study on the cause of autism and parents are growing increasingly impatient for answers. Could this be part of the puzzle?
". . . We were among the early adopters of modern technology. We abandoned our landline phone in favor of cell phones well before that was a popular practice. From WiFi to wireless video baby monitors, we had them all. I had heard about cell-phone risks, but I assumed they were minimal and actually believed they were limited to only when holding the phone to one's head or another body part for extended periods of time. I certainly never would have expected a home WiFi system to have any effect on her. A wireless baby monitor a few inches from where she slept that we virtually never turned off only seemed like what every responsible parent would use. Yet, here I was faced with some pretty harsh evidence that these may have been the "things" contributing to her autism . . .
