Description

Cell phones bear an infamous and intrinsic capacity that has been hidden away from cell phone users aroung the globe: they cause genetic damages. Dr. Henry Lai at the University of Washington demonstrated many years ago that cell phone radiation caused damages to the DNA in human blood cells. Through a pioneer work using the comet assay, Dr. Lai showed evidence of both single and double-stranded breaks in the human DNA. The Alkaline Single Cell Gel Microelectrophoresis Gel assay (SCG assay or comet assay) immediately generated a criminal attempt by Motorola and the CTIA in order to falsigy these results. Dr. Lai, together with the authors of the Bioinitiative Report, has demonstrated that the word decency has not been totally erased from the bioelectromagnetics community of the US.
Later on it has been demonstrated that microwaves and EMF in general, have the capacity to interfere with the repair processes of DNA damage. This is a natural phenomenon that occurs millions of time every day. However, cell phone radiation not only causes the genetic damage but it seriously impairs the reparation of the damage caused by microwaves and by the normal course of biochemical metabolism.
