One of the posters on this group who promulgates the medical use of
magnets sent me a packet with several articles. I have reviewed them
with the same eye that I give the New England Journal, etc. Having done
so, I continue to believe that their’s no evidence to support an
anti–tumor effect of magnetic fields. I base this on many points:

1. In Cancer, The Magnetic/Oxygen Answer, pg. 49: The first statement
under Cancer and Cancer Tumors reads "Primary to advanced types of
1,2,3,4, A,B,C,D, classifications…" This statement makes no sense as
it does not correspond to commonly used histologic or staging
nomenclature.

2. Two articles by William H. Philpott describe the same case of "liver
cancer" to show that cancer can be cured by magnets. In neither article
does one see any mention that the presence of cancer was confirmed by an
appropriate biopsy. In neither article was the response to therapy
confirmed by before and after Xrays. Both histology and Xrays should be
present in a case report to confirm the response to therapy. Dr.
Philpott states that the cancer was diagnosed on the basis of a high
level of alpha feto protein. The level reported in one article (Magnetic
Therapy, Present and Future Status) was 87 pretreatment and 44
posttreatment. This is only a mild elevation, and well within the level
seen in hepatitis. Typical alpha feto protein levels used to diagnose
hepatoma in the absence of a biopsy are over 1,000 (DaVita’s Cancer
Medicine). These publications do not document a case of liver cancer
responding to therapy. Additionally, one of the two articles mentions
the patient by full name. This is a gross violation of patient
confidentiality and highly irregular.

3. In the Magnetic Health Quarterly, V II, 4th Quarter, 1996 Dr.
Phillptt has a long disertation on acid–base balance. He states that
Otto Warburg was given a nobel prize for demonstrating that acid-hypoxia
is necessary for cancer to develop. According to my edition of the World
Book Encyclopedia, this nobel prize was for observations on the role of
enzymes in cellular respiration. More critically, the nobel prize was
awarded in 1931 and thus reflects work done at the beginning of this
century. One would expect that our knowledge of cellular physiology
would change over the decades as further researchers start with earlier
work, expand it, clarify it, and in some cases correct it.

It is true that metastatic cancer deposits are frequently mildly
acidotic and oxygen starved. This, however, is not an inherent
characteristic of cancer cells but is simply a consequence of their
growth. Cancer cells, like all mammalian cells require oxygen and
excrete carbon dioxide (a weak acid).  The oxygen reaches the
extracellular fluid around the cell, and the carbon dioxide is removed
from the same area, by diffusion from the nearest capillaries. As the
volumne of a metastatic deposit increases, this process is impaired. The
cells in the center of the deposit begin to die as they are deprived of
oxygen. Similarly, the tissue in the center becomes acidotic with the
accumulation of carbond dioxide. In fact, one of the principal
mechanisms used by cancer to obtain adequate oxygen is the stimulation
of new vessel growth (neovascularity) and a major new field of
anticancer therapy is the development of drugs to prevent this new
vessel growth (anti-angiogenesis). Thus the use of magnets to reverse
metabolism is based on an improper, and/or outdated understanding of
cellular physiology.

In short, nothing that I have read would support the use of magnets as a
therapeutic option in cancer management. Note that I am NOT commenting
on the use of magnets as analgesic devices since there is some rational
for use of magnets in rheumatoid conditions stemming from the fact that
bone has piezoelectric properties which might be altered by a magnetic
field.

Put up or shut up, put your fax number on the board and I will send my
medical records out to you. Well you chicken shit you are afraid to do
it, than shut the fuck up. I am a cancer patient and will send my
records to anyone who has an open mind not you bastards who are only
interested in looking for negatives. By not putting up a fax number you
all show your true colors. Call my bluff, once and for all, am I a
cancer patient, or a scammer? What’s a matter yellow belly afraid of the
truth? I’m not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, No one will do this because
after you find out that I ama cancer patient who wants to share
treatment information, you will have nothing to say!

Hi all,
   Can anyone tell me why I get earache when I use my phone? I’ve read
through  Cellular Phone Antennas and Human Health FAQ
(http://www.mcw.edu/gcrc/cop/cell-phone-health-FAQ/toc.html). That
suggests that there is no evidence but I find that my ear is sore for
about a week after I use it!

Strangely this only happens when I use it with my left ear.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
   Martin.

** Summary: **

The purpose of this FAQ is to examine the laboratory and epidemiological
evidence relevant to the issue of whether static (direct current, DC)
magnetic or electric fields cause or contribute to cancer or other health
problems in humans.

While most public concern about electromagnetic fields and cancer has
concentrated on power-frequency, microwave (MW) and radiofrequency (RF)
fields, claims have been made that static magnetic fields cause or
contribute to cancer.

There is very little theoretical reason to suspect that static fields
might cause or contribute to cancer or any other human health problems,
and there is very little laboratory or epidemiological evidence for a
connection between static fields and human health hazards.

Dear all

Keith Taylor (a kidney cancer patient from Coventry) and I are in the throes
of setting up Kidney Cancer UK – you can see the Web site at
http://www.kcuk.org/

A meeting will be held in London on Saturday 12 February 2000 at 2.30p.m.
for all individuals who are willing to play an organisational role at a
local or national level in KCUK. We need people with relevant skills, e.g.
administrative, secretarial, financial, legal, PR/marketing, communication,
training/education, research, information technology, and voluntary sector
management.

If you can assist in the promotion of KCUK that would be very much
appreciated.

Cheers from England

I don’t know about others — but I will not respond to any post which
uses language that belongs in the gutter. And I don’t care which side of
an issue someone is supporting.

Hallo!

Meine Schwiegermutter wurde soeben an Magenkrebs operiert und der

To follow up on this thread –

I currently have a Nokia 6100 series.  I understand Motorola Star Tac phones
are assembled such that the antenna lies further away from one’s head than
on the Nokia.  Does anyone have any comments about whether it is worth
switching to the StarTac?

(Yes, I do often use a headset anyway, but I can’t always do so.)

I do realize that the recent 60 minutes piece was using the phones in
analog, not digital, mode.  But I am still worried.

(Please cc a copy of any responses to me by e-mail.)

Anyone care to offer an opinion on this? This cartilage liquid extract has
angiogenesis poperties and I am considering ordering it for my mom (she has
metastaic disease from her salivary gland cancer).
Thanks in advance.
