Thread Name: BS: Dangers of Electricity Pylons (question)
Subject: RE: BS: Dangers of Electricity Pylons (question)
I suppose that by saying a doctor in a hospital has a gut feelings about mobile phones, it must be true that they are the root of all neuro problems?
One doctor having a gut feeling isn't evidence, ask that actual doctor! (One thing I have learned since interfering in healthcare and for that matter being married to a doctor, is that having human hunches is secondary to their obligation to be evidence based. it's what sorts the real ones from the quacks, and this guy must be a real one. Don't confuse a gut feeling with a professional opinion. My wife has a gut feeling I eat and drink too much for my own good whilst she has a very healthy diet. Yet the evidence is that she picks up every cold and bug going while I remain fit as a butcher's dog.
RF radiation is around us and if you go back a few hundred years, it was still around us. Research is ongoing as to whether the frequencies and power levels of man made RF in certain instances can have an effect that our cells are not evolved to withstand. (Hence the possibility of leukaemia clusters being a plausible smoking gun to set your hypothesis on.)
But the jury is out and going back to the stone age ain't going to stop solar flares, the effect of our magnetosphere or atomic decay radiation all around us.
Me? I'd go for a pint or three and enjoy life. Hang on! Pubs open in ten minutes! (Would be before now, but it is Sunday and the bloody Christians have the right to interfere with my social life...)
