Roy:
Our youth worshipping culture will not go for this at all.
Earlier this year, Dr. Neil Cherry did a literature review
on rapid and premature aging of human, plants
and animals. His report makes the same observation. Now
we have more information.
If anyone would like to order a copy of this Cherry
report, they can do so through contacting me. I is
plus shipping to where ever you are. Proceeds to support
the Ad Hoc Association in our ongoing court challenge.

Using a mobile phone 'makes you age faster'
Source: Daily Mail
CONSTANT use of a mobile phone causes premature ageing,
warn scientists.
Low level radiation from the phone 'heats up' body cells,
damaging skin and making the user look lined and
haggard.
The study by Nottingham University's School of Biological
Sciences is the latest research to raise concerns about
the effect of mobile phones on health.
It will throw further doubt on assurances from
manufacturers and safety watchdogs that the phones have
no impact on health.
The current Government line is that there is no
conclusive proof that mobile
phones are a health hazard.
The new report, however, discovered that they can prevent
the body's defence mechanisms from working properly.
Usually, the body reacts almost immediately when skin
cells are 'under attack'.
'Heat shock' caused by low radiation emissions should
lead to the body sending proteins to the damaged areas
of skin to repair them.
But, it is feared that heavy use of mobile phones does
not give the skin enough time to recover and that the
proteins 'gum up' the cells and hinder the natural
repair process.
Dr David De Pomerai, who is in charge of the research
team, said: 'Gradually, cells don't work properly, so
the life process becomes less efficient.
'If you are over-stretching the mechanisms that try to
repair damage, the knock-on effect is premature ageing.
'It's possible that something of that sort may be going
on in people using mobile phones.' Dr De Pomerai said
that heavy mobile phone users were just
like heavy smokers who constantly inhaled cell- damaging
toxins without allowing the body time to repair the harm
done.
Experiments on worms showed that their life spans were
shortened by persistent low-radiation emissions, and the
scientists feared that humans could be similarly
affected.
They want more money to be put into research. 'We need a
much bigger study to confirm the results,' said Dr De
Pomerai.
Mobile phones are regularly used by 13million Britons,
many of them under 35.
Government-backed research has already shown that they
affect the brains of people who use them, causing them
to 'speed up'. This study, by scientists at
Bristol University, suggested that radiation from the
phone either heated the brain or scrambled its
electrical impulses.
Radiation emissions are already suspected by some of
contributing to brain tumours, strokes and Alzheimer's
disease.
Other symptoms reported by mobile phone users include
fatigue, dizzy spells and memory loss. Nearly two in
three complain of regularly getting headaches
from using their phone, although this may be because of
bad posture rather than radiation emissions.
Researchers at the University of Surrey say bad posture,
particularly holding the phone between the shoulder and
cheek to leave the hands free, can cause
strain injury and spinal damage.
