SPERCHIOS RIVER AND THE MALIAN GULF

SPERCHIOS RIVER AND THE MALIAN GULF
ECOSOLON
36 sec - Feb 25, 2008

In the heart of the land of Greeks, in the area where the Mount Othris stands, the region that is surrounded by the gulfs of Pagasitikos and Maliakos (Malian) since the ancient times has been a place blessed by the gods of nature, Fthiotida. Throughout the ages it has been the home of Gods, semi-gods, leaders of races, heroes and common men who have been inspired by wonderful myths and legends and have written the brightest pages of history. o­n this land Defkalion and Pyrra, the mythical ancestors of the Greek nation who had ruled the kingdom of Fthia and after the disastrous flood, gave birth to Protogenia, Amfiktionas and Hellinas.Here the first federation ( in Greek amfiktionia) to unite the people of the Pre-historic time was established, Hercules realized his feats and was deified, Achilles and the rest heroes of Homer's " Iliad" were born.

Neil Cherry Radio Show Part 2 Cell Phone Tower Controversies

Neil Cherry Radio Show Part 2 Cell Phone Tower Controversies

http://www.emfnews.org Cell Phone Towers: dangerous or not?
If you ask the government, no studies have shown conclusive evidence that radio-frequency emissions, a form of electromagnetic radiation (EMR), from cell towers are harmful.
According to the Food and Drug Administration:
"RF [Radio frequency] exposure on the ground is much less than exposure very close to the antenna and in the path of the transmitted radio signal. In fact, ground-level exposure from such antennas is typically thousands of times less than the exposure levels recommended as safe by expert organizations. So exposure to nearby residents would be well within safety margins."
Cell phone companies also maintain that no risks exist from the towers. "There are no health risks posed by the towers. Independent scientific panels around the world have reached this conclusion," said Russ Stromberg, senior manager of development at T-Mobile.
But other studies seem to tell a different story, with findings such as:
• A study by Dr. Bruce Hocking in Australia found that children living near three TV and FM broadcast towers (similar to cell towers) in Sydney had more than twice the rate of leukemia than children living more than seven miles away.
• Says Dr. Neil Cherry, a biophysicist at Lincoln University in New Zealand:
o "Public health surveys of people living in the vicinity of cell site base stations should be being carried out now, and continue progressively over the next two decades. This is because prompt effects such as miscarriage, cardiac disruption, sleep disturbance and chronic fatigue could well be early indicators of the adverse health effects. Symptoms of reduced immune system competence, cardiac problems, especially of the arrhythmic type, and cancers, especially brain tumor and leukemia, are probable."
• Biomedical engineer Mariana Alves-Pereira says exposure to cell phone towers can lead to vibroacoustic disease. "From what I understand, some of the complaints are similar in what is seen in vibroacoustic disease patients, which are people who develop a disease caused by low frequency noise exposure," she said. Symptoms can include mood swings, indigestion, ulcers and joint pain.
• Dr. Gerard Hyland, a physicist who was nominated twice for the Nobel Prize in medicine, says, "Existing safety guidelines for cell phone towers are completely inadequate … Quite justifiably, the public remains skeptical of attempts by governments and industry to reassure them that all is well, particularly given the unethical way in which they often operate symbiotically so as to promote their own vested interests."
• According to the Mount Shasta Bioregional Ecology Center, "Studies have shown that even at low levels of this radiation, there is evidence of damage to cell tissue and DNA, and it has been linked to brain tumors, cancer, suppressed immune function, depression, miscarriage, Alzheimer's disease, and numerous other serious illnesses."
• According to Dr. W. Löscher of the Institute of Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmacy of the Veterinary School of Hannover in Germany, dairy cows that were kept in close proximity to a TV and cell phone tower for two years had a reduction in milk production along with increased health problems and behavioral abnormalities. In an experiment, one cow with abnormal behavior was taken away from the antenna and the behavior subsided within five days. When the cow was brought back near the antenna, the symptoms returned. http://www.neilcherry.com
