All truth goes through three stages: first
it is ridiculed,
then it is violently opposed,
finally it is accepted as self evident.

Latest news
The paper on left-sided cancers published in
Pathophysiology has certainly drawn lots of attention. On
July 2 Scientific American published a summary report
of the paper for their readers. On August 18 Dr. Mercola
posted a review of our paper and related issues. Both reviews
have gotlots of interesting comments to read if you whish.
The risk for lung cancer seems to be lower in
Japan compared to USA or Sweden. I gave an oral presentation
of the study at the 3:rd World Cancer Congress, June 23 in
Singapore this year.

but deserves following up coming years.
Face melanoma among younger people is
increasing in Sweden! The 3G-phones have been used from 2001

According to the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority
the use of mobile phones has no
effect on population health! (Letters in Swedish).
I have finally added two newsletters
in my list to the left so I could clean up some old stuff
from this page. Enjoy reading!
Petition
to president Obama regarding a public health hazard. Two
articles are referred to in this petition, one of which is
ref. 4 in my publication list. If you president Obama wants
a copy of another of my papers, please don't hesitate to contact
me!
Conference
in Switzerland. I was
invited to give a presentation on November 21 in Olten together
with some very well known scientists. I talked about facts
from radio engineering and cancer epidemiology and presented
also some recent results from my modeling work.

types and cancer incidence. A preliminar study of
the use of metal spring beds in different countries indicates
that a deeper analysis of the correlation between cancer and
bed types used is motivated.
This preliminar study was accepted for publication
on 2009-09-23 by Pathophysiology and is now E-pubbed
since 09-10-17.
The trees
are dying. And soon we follow... See an excellent
review of EMF and health. May-be mobile phones should
not be allowed to be used by people under 65 years of age...?
Rest

mattress where it really belongs.
Brain cancer among elderly is increasing

Forbid
mobile phones!
"Forbid the use of mobile phones in
Sweden! - An article by Örjan Hallberg Publication Date:
6th April 2009. View
full article Örjan Hallberg has put together a well researched
and documented article outlining a number of increases in
cancers and other issues (such as sleep disturbances) which
have risen markedly since the takeup of modern GSM and 3G
phone technologies, and promotes a strong argument that the
possibility that mobile phones are at least partially responsible
is very likely." (From www.radiationresearch.org) Also
published by Omega.

Sleeping
problems are increasing but on the other hand the market
for sleeping pills
seems glorious... Also
noticed in Omega
news. The similarity to the number of spoken
years via mobile phones may be just a coincidence
according to the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority. Also
see a Summary paper
on this problem.
- A patent to reduce dangerous radiation from base
stations and more! "After a predefinable
time interval without connecting signal, the base station
changes over from the normal transmitting-receiving mode
into a sleep mode, in which sleep mode no beakon signals
and/or other radio frequencies are transmitted from the
base station." Applied by Swisscom AG!!

- The mortality in dementia
suddenly started to increase in 1997! The new death code
for Alzheimer deaths was introduced in 1987, so this in
likely not the explanation! See also Alzheimer
deaths!
- And if you sleep in a bad EMF-environment during pregnancy,
your child is at higher risk of developing
autism!
- Believe it or not, but even I can be wrong! In
earlier studies we have noticed how cancer deaths started
to increase when new broadcasting systems (FM) were rolled-out.
And that it appeared to become reduced when some AM-towers
were closed in 1979. However, by help from the National
Board of Health and Welfare we found that this improvement
was a result of changed
routins for death certificates at that time.
- The number of people who get headache after long and
frequent mobile phone talks was 31% of 1900 asked in Jan
2009. This is quite in line with the earlier trend noticed
by Hallberg, Oberfeld (ref. 18 in the publication list).
Look at the updated

- On Jan 14 2009 I was interviewed regarding my research.
You may look and listen via YouTube.
There are six parts, each 10 minutes long. Hope you enjoy
it!
- DECT phone central in the bedroom?
Perhaps not the most clever thing you have done
in that case... Please, tell
us what you have.
- Cancer in the bed? What
type of bed are you sleeping in? And have you got cancer?

Not as fun as it first appears. You might start thinking...
- The Swedish Post and Telecom Agency (PTS) had invited
me on October 16 to give a presentation on my research regarding
public health and radiation. The one-hour show first highlighted
the cancer epidemic, and especially that of melanoma after
1955. The second part related to the worsening public
health in Sweden since 1997 and finally some recent
worrying trends after year 2000 were given. This
presentation
was the first ever given to a Swedish authority.
- I recently noticed an article by Arthur Firstenberg published
in January 2006 by The Eldorado Sun. It's an interesting
summary of the Largest Biological
Experiment Ever. Here also HIR research reports were
highlighted.
- I was invited to attend a conference on radiation and
global health Sep 8-9 2008 in London arranged by the Radiation
