“According to latest statistics, children and young people use mobile phone end-user devices near their bodies on average for more than 8 hours a day. Therefore, they are permanently exposed to potential damage.” ~Activist Post

In the editorial “Low intensity radiofrequency radiation: a new oxidant for living cells” in the scientific journal Oxidants and Antioxidants in Medical Science of 29 March 2014 the group reported that of 80 studies, they had assessed, 92.5 % (= 76 studies) confirmed that mechanism of inflicting damage.

“Unexpectedly, a strong non-thermal character of biological effects” had been documented, the group of scientists wrote. Low intensity radiofrequency radiation (RFR) emitted by mobile phone end-user devices “could lead to mutagenic effects through expressive oxidative damage of DNA”, because “the substantial overproduction of ROS in living cells under low intensity RFR exposure could cause a broad spectrum of health disorders and diseases, including cancer in humans”.

Oxidative stress is considered to be the main cause of exhaustion, headaches, inflammatory diseases, all the way to heart attacks. The results of the scientists from Kiev explain the acutely critical nature of the hype around mobile phones, smartphones and Wi-Fi. According to latest statistics, children and young people use mobile phone end-user devices near their bodies on average for more than 8 hours a day. Therefore, they are permanently exposed to potential damage. Continue reading →

Human Blood Is Not “Roundup Ready,” New Study Reluctantly Admits

MonsantoTakeYourPoisonMuch focus of late has been on the toxicity of the main ingredient in Roundup ‘weedkiller’, namely glyphosate. And rightly so: far from being ‘practically non-toxic’ as advertising copy once bragged,[i] the chemical has recently been shown to exhibit toxicity in the parts-per-trillion concentration range, and is being found literally everywhere: in the water, soil, air, rain,animals and our food. But very little research has been performed on its metabolites and so-called ‘inactive ingredients’ – until now.

A new study, published in Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology, titled “The effect of metabolites and impurities of glyphosate on human erythrocytes (in vitro)” reveals that the problem with the growing contamination of the global biosphere with agrichemicals used in the farming of genetically modified foods is far worse than most will either admit or acknowledge.

The researchers describe the background context of their study:

“Today, the dissemination of glyphosate in the environment increases, and humans are permanently exposed to its action. Worstcase scenario provides even ten-fold increase of using a glyphosate in the following years [32]. Considering the widespread and frequent use of glyphosate throughout in world, thus the current risk assessment is important because the exposure will concern not only the users of the preparations containing glyphosate, but also those who do not have direct contact with that herbicide”.

Is Human Blood Roundup Ready?
