Phone mast allergy 'in the mind'

Phone mastMobile phone masts are not responsible for the symptoms of ill health some blame them for, a major UK study says, as reported on the BBC.

Dozens of people who believed the masts triggered symptoms such as anxiety, nausea and tiredness could not detect if signals were on or off in trials.

However, the Environmental Health Perspectives study stressed people were nonetheless suffering "real symptoms".

What is interesting to note is that this article is funded by the mobile telecommunications industry which is typically slanted towards positive outcomes for them. As we know, they are a multi billion dollar industry with huge interests to protect. They know there is a health problem, but won’t admit it and will do everything possible to communicate to the public that there is no health risk

Why? Well, on the one hand, no insurance company is prepared to cover the risk of possible health related claims due to cell phone usage and on the other hand, they want to avoid the flood of lawsuits against them

See the summary of an article from the Safe Wireless Initiative, an independent non profit scientific research institution that puts into perspective a Danish research study funded by the mobile telecommunications industry and used extensively as a PR campaign.

'Heart risk posed' by diabetes drugs

Rosiglitazone drugsTwo drugs commonly prescribed to treat Type 2 diabetes double the risk of heart failure, a study on more than 78,000 patients suggests.

Rosiglitazone and pioglitazone are well known to diabetics, and it’s been stated the manufacturers, GlaxoSmithKline and the FDA knew about the dangers of these drugs prescribed to at least 1.5 million people in Britain last year.

There doesn't seem to be a group of patients who are safe from these side-effects” reports Dr Yoon Loke University of East Anglia.

An internet search for ‘worst drugs’ reveals:

We list these drugs as Do Not Use drugs because they may be less effective than other drugs for diabetes and cause liver damage, weight gain, anemia and heart failure.’

Furthermore, Rosiglitazone was linked earlier this year to heart attacks.
The researchers, led by the University of East Anglia, suggest fluid retention caused by the drugs may be to blame.

Even more astonishing, a spokesman from the manufacturing drug company GlaxoSmithKline, has said: "The risk of heart failure in diabetes patients and with use of these medicines is well recognised and is clearly identified in prescribing information to doctors in the UK."

To repeat – 1.5 million people took the drug in Britain last year.

Something is clearly obvious – every diabetic patient taking this drug is at risk for heart disease. BUT, diabetes is a preventable condition, and even if both your parents and entire family suffered from it is no reason to fall into the trap of believing you have to suffer from it too.

Diabetes is a disease of lifestyle and poor eating habits – change them, with the approval of your doctor and guidance from a nutritionally trained health professional and you will reverse the condition. As long as you are not insulin dependant (Type 1 diabetic), there is plenty of hope for a full reversal of the condition.
