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

Note that the number of deaths starts to increase even before
the melanoma incidence starts to increase, exactly as
what happened in 1955.

- Do mobile phones protect from brain cancer? Oddly
enough, the brain cancer risk is going down in the two countries
where Ericsson and Nokia reside, while increasing in Norway
and Denmark. A deeper analysis is on its way...
Mad Englishmen. In September 1996 I predicted
that around 160 people in England would die as a result of
the mad cow disease. Now 14 years later we can see that I
was wrong. Today 170 people have died...

Left-sided cancers
in Sweden. The left side
of the body clearly is more prone to breast cancer and melanoma
also in Sweden. Take a look at these graphs.
Head and face melanoma on the rise! Our
experts always state that mobile phone use has nothing to
do with health problems. Since year 2000 the head/face melanoma
rate has increased by 55%. At the same time the use of mobile
phones has increased by 300%. Will we face a problem in the
future or can this be disregarded as a matter of coincidence,
as the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority tends to say?

Same in e.g. Denmark: 
Already too late? 
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.

According to the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority
the use of mobile phones has no

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
In Peace Finally, I did
as I preach. I disposed my old wave reflecting metal spring
mattress where it really belongs.
Brain cancer among elderly is increasing
in Nordic countries, but not in Sweden!

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!!
This is hot
stuff! (1.1 Mb). Sleep Well and let us Live Longer!
- 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).

- 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

Perhaps not the most clever thing you have done
in that case... Please, tell

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
