Cancer of the brain stem

SOMETHING has to be causing three cases near you. If it is cell phone use, there should be an explosion of that condition world-wide, right? Kinda spooky.

I believe there is a very definite connection between cellphone use as well as those phones that many workers have to wear in order to communicate with the others in the department.

There has been so little time to really test out the effect of so much bombardment of these waves on the human brain cells.. We are all guinea pigs in a huge experiment that will be played out over the next 2 or 3 generations.

Issac Asimov stated it well when he said that "the saddest part of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom". It is sooooo true!

I have no opinion on cell phone cause. However, tell your friend to get a referral from his doc to Dr Allan Friedman at DukeMed. He is the top dog in primary brain tumors and (with Debara Tucci) establish the skull base surgical center. If there is a hope of removing the cancer, he will find it.

He's, well, some what aspergery and is not big on some of the social niceities. However, he takes saving his patients personally and his patients love him and consider him a life saver.

Maybe they should check to see how many people had this type of cancer before cellphones came into use. Then compare it to the percentage of people who have it now. If more people have it now, there may be a connection.

There certainly is a lot of cellphone usage today. Some people are on them all the time, in the grocery stores, in their cars, at home and at work.

Apparently, they do NOT think so............unless you "read between the lines" as per certain suggestions.
But they do say that these cancer rates have not increased in the past decade (I guess of cell phone useage).
SEE # 12 as you scroll down.

However, I've often wondered about microwaves, which they mention.

Who knows?? And...........what about police officers with radar equipment in their patrol cars?

It might depend on the age of the person and the frequency of cellphone use. Only 5 per 100,000 have brain cancer under the age of 65. But 19 per 100,000 have brain cancer over the age of 65. That being the case, it's strange that you happen to know a few young people who have brain cancer.

Some young people are putting themselves at risk for cancer by drinking on an empty stomach. They say it's a trend among college students. They purposely drink on an empty stomach to get drunk faster. They call it, "drunkorexia". This might be attractive to young women who don't want to develop a beer-belly. One beer, on an empty stomach, might be enough to get them drunk. This can cause stomach bleeding and perhaps stomach cancer if done often enough. But I wonder what it might do to the brain.

If they form a habit of it, it might be enough to set them up for brain cancer by the time they are 30 or 40. Who knows?
