Cell Phones, Cancer and Bee Colony Collapse Disorder

 If video fails to play, go to Resonance – Beings of Frequency

(This is Part I of a two part film review of the 2012 documentary by British filmmaker James Russell)

Resonance – Beings of Frequency is an informative, well-researched film about the growing number of health and environmental problems linked to cell phones, wi-fi and cell phone masts. The title refers to  “Schumann resonances,” named after German physicist Winfried Schumann. It refers to natural low frequency electromagnetic radiation emitted by planet Earth. The beginning of the film, which delves in depth into Schumann’s obscure discovery, is likely to be off-putting for people with no physics background. Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) is tough enough to get your head around, much less the concept of wave pulses and frequency. I sincerely hope people will ignore or fast forward the first few minutes. The rest of the film is well worth watching and discusses an alarming body of research about a potentially dangerous technology that was widely implemented without any testing of its potential effect on human health.

In my view, the only physics people need to understand the film is 1) that the microwaves produced by cell phones and cell phone masts, like light and radio waves, are a form of non-ionizing (i.e. non-radioactive) electromagnetic radiation 2) that by definition, EMR are intertwined electrical and magnetic fields that travel as waves and 3) that all life forms produce it. The scientist who explains electroencephalograms (EEGs) and electrocardiograms (EKGs) later in the film puts this across quite clearly. In higher animals, the presence or absence of life is measured by their ability to give off EMR. An EEG measures the EMR given off by the brain. When the EEG flat lines, the patient is considered brain dead. It's game over when the EKG, which measures EMR emitted by the heart, flat lines.

The film mainly focuses on research linking the staggering increase of man made EMR in the environment and the sudden onset of global bee colony collapse syndrome; the sharp decline in migratory bird species and the current epidemic of breast and other cancers. Obviously the cancer link will be most concerning for most viewers. There are now several dozen studies of the cancer clusters found in people living in close proximity to cell phone masts. The film features an interview with a breast cancer survivor living near a mast who surveyed all neighbors within 0.5 km of the mast. Seventy percent of them had developed breast, prostate or other cancer, leukemia or some other fatal or debilitating illness.

The Link Between Microwave Exposure and Breast Cancer

The link between breast cancer and exposure to toxic endocrine disruptors (found mainly in insecticides, cosmetics, plastics and diets high in animal fat) was established nearly ten years ago. However it remains very troubling that large numbers of women with no genetic history or lifestyle exposures are developing breast cancer as young as thirty-five or forty. The film suggests many of these cases relate to a far more insidious lifestyle factor. With more than 500 million cell phone masts scattered all across the planet, electromagnetic smog is an environmental exposure that is virtually impossible to avoid.

Resonance – Beings of Frequency presents some very convincing research about the negative effect of microwave radiation (the type produced by cell phones and cell phone masts) on Melatonin production and the essential role this hormone plays in immune function. This is the first time I have seen a mechanism proposed to explain how wireless technology might be increasing cancer rates.

A lot of people are aware of melatonin’s role in promoting sleep – that low light levels cause the brain to produce melatonin and that this is the hormone that sends people off to sleep. Studies showing that it’s also an antioxidant (i.e. a vitamin or hormone that destroys free radicals) even more powerful that Vitamin C or Vitamins less well publicized. However it’s well recognized that the main cause of aging and most forms of cancer can be traced to free radicals attacking the nucleus of normal cells.

Recent research suggests that the pineal gland (the part of the brain that produces melatonin) can’t distinguish between light waves and other forms of EMR – that this explains why people exposed to high levels of microwave radiation produce less melatonin. Presumably this makes their body less efficient in destroying the free radicals that cause cancer. Studies showing that patients with breast and prostate cancer have lower Melatonin levels tend to validate this hypothesis.

(To be continued with a discussion of the link between cellphone technology and bee colony collapse disorder, which is decimating bee populations worldwide.)

Thank you, Dr., an informative and relevant piece, especially the melatonin explanation. Thanks for the link. R
This is landmark info. Everyone should know these facts...
I watched the first half. The scientific information presented in the first 40 minutes was simply astounding. This is truly news you can't get anywhere else. And that is the highest compliment that I can give to this documentary. The scientists are not wingnuts. This is real science.

It sort of dovetails with the book that I'm reading, which is a 30 year review of t
The Club of Rome report from 1970. So far, we're right on track to do a Thelma and Louise with the planet. I'm glad I'll probably kick the bucket before 2030. My age cohort will have sucked all of the good juice out of the planet, leaving our children and grandchildren to fight over the Augean stable that we created.

This is just several more pieces of evidence of what a good job we're doing at destroying our species, along with how many billion others.
Excellent. Did not know about this about melatonin. Will forward this to family and friends. Thank you.
Ahem, this study that you report is highly unacceptable; the studies you cite have not been authorized and financed by the corporate press or those that buy advertising space from them!!

Therefore until you learn to limit the material you dare to0 report to authorized studies you will continue to be banned to the alternative media outlets and you will not be welcome on the commercial media!!

Get with the program!!

You will be assimilated!!

Resistance is futile!!
Haven't had a chance to watch the whole film yet, but I plan to. I recommend the work of Samuel Milham, MD, MPH. He has written a book called Dirty Electricity.
[r] Stuart, thank you for this!!! best, libby (thought i had commented on this. must have lost it)
