Mobile phone masts linked to suicide

This frightened me, sent shivers down my spine! I do believe there is some truth to this.

I think in a way technology is great and all the rest, but it's killing not only traditional values and ways of life that are now considered "old school", but OUR HEALTH.

I tend to text more than make calls, and I certainly hope that that's healthier!

Bollocks. Catch yourself on.

I can picture the film now. Nic Cage discovers an international conspiracy perpetrated by the evil mobile phone companies in a bid to send the worlds population into a spate of mass suicides in order to clear the way for our new lizard overlords.

On second thougths, that could actually be a pretty decent film.

*Runs off to change final college project to a high concept Nic Cage in stupid wig epic.

I'd be very dubious about this report to be honest. Remember a few years ago the 'experts' were saying our brains were going to be fried from mobile phones.

I recall a lot of these suicides in Wales occurring in a close time frame. Not all, I know, and a lot of them had connections ie. some knew each other (bebo friends etc). I'd suggest a copycat suicide chain.

I apparently live in an area described as the 'the suicide capital of the world' http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/article444292.ece. I don't actually live in Midleton, but very close, and my village has a high rate of suicide too (well above average).

But I'd go with the suggestion in the above link "According to Brian Jordan, a local GP, the fact that many of the suicides occurred in clusters suggests that once one person does it, it becomes a viable option for others."

I'd be very dubious about the phone mast theory. Why is it so, that most of these young people in Wales were in the same age category? Don't most age groups use cell phones?

That's my take. But I'm no expert.

Have you read AH recently?!! :pac:

i doubt it, but i do kinda believe magnetic feilds cause cancer even though there is no evidence to prove it,

While suicide seems a bit far fetched, many independent reports in the last decade have linked mobile phone masts with increased levels of tiredness, stress, headaches and nausea. Electro hyper-sensitivity i think its called. Its a medically recognised condition in Sweden and the state of California. I've spoken to a farmer who lives beside a mast near Carrick on Suir and he told me he went through absolute hell, his medical bills went through the roof. As for phones themselves, i have no doubts that we will see massive increases in cancer rates in the years to come. Becos they are a relatively new concept, the true affects of all this radiation wont be realised for another few years at least.

breaker breaker one nine
weve made the same mistake for some time
my dome is splitting - its a bleak disease
cos my phones emitting these frequencies

I wasn't finished writing my post and pressed the stupid return button by mistake. Finished now.

"Have you read AH recently?!!" Only now and then to be honest. What am I missing?

Right yere fried brains. I'm taking this suicide thing too seriously.

I remember hearing a programme on the BBC world service years ago, that microwave transmissions,simillar to those used in mobile phone transmissions, have been used by secret services in the US, USSR and UK since the 70's to induce suicidal behaviour and depression in their enemies.

That's interesting marcsignal, cheers for those links!
scary stuff, but interesting non the less!

Sorry Im going to have to call you back, if this conversation goes on any longer people will die.

Need more evidence tbh. Should be easy with all the phone mast and suicide data available around the world.

What gets me is that all the other far more powerful RF signals being sent through the air have no affect, while mobile frequencies (.. of which, different frequencies are used in different parts of the world..) fryz your brainz.

The only way mobile phone masts are linked to suicides are with a rope the person used before putting it around their neck .

Paddy:" I am going to do it James , I hate the way no one listens to me and..."

James:"Jasus Paddy the reception isn't great, move around a bit "

Paddy:" I am trying to tell you .."

James:" Move a bit more, just got worse"

Paddy " James will you listen ..........................

James:"Paddy , Paddy , now it's completely gone "

I noticed that. Even in the early 00s that if you used a cell phone in a car in the states it didnt do any interference to your radio. In Ireland however, you pretty much get a preemptive warning youre about to get a call because of that annoyance.

Maybe theres a little something to it then. The human body can interfere and reflect radio waves - try approaching your radio alarm clock when its tuned into a weak station. And cell phones in ireland work on a neighbouring frequency.

resonance as they call it in physics i think
the human brain's neurons or some part of it may vibrate to the specific frequencies from mobiles, thats what makes them more dangerous than lets say other frequencies.
Ultra violet for example is a more powerful wave than a microwave, but still ultraviolet can tan and burn the skin, while a microwave just makes the water molecules in food for example vibrate and produce heat.

Fuck that. I'm marching back to Carphonewarehouse with mai phone and demand a refund. I don't want their mind-controlling cult tools! :mad:

And they have the nerve to smile and flirt their árses off with you when you are buying the damn thing. Sneaky bástards! :mad::mad: After that I'm off to knock down their mind control masts. Whooooos with meeeeee!? :pac:

I suspect witchcraft, burn the witch/phone mast.

Are you aware you link is dated 22 June 2008?

Old news I'm afraid.

"The Sunday Express is one of the UK's biggest selling Sunday papers and today's front page is spectacularly half-cocked, attempting to link suicides to phone masts based on an unpublished study, by a man who sells cranky radiation protection devices, and who seems to have only the faintest grasp of neurobiology......"

Oh. well. that settles it if it was mentioned on mindhacks, an ever more obscure interweb

Who won the ford focus anyway?

I started this thread so someone would ask that ha, thank god I won it

The Express will be linked to my suicide if I have to read it again.

At least they can call the suicide hotline beforehand.

I dunno about the suicide link but it's naive to believe that masts that emit radiation are in no way harmful

I saw a show with people living in Faraday cages because of the supposed effects. They put them in an isolated area and recorded their moods and sleep patterns. They then erected a mast and switched it on sometimes to see if there was any difference and the pattern of moods and sleeping did not correlate to the mast being on or off.
Not truly scientific but the people reacted and believed the mast was having an effect when it was off. People that suffer from depression will often blame external sources as they try to find a reason for their depression, it is part of the condition. As humans we are designed to seek a pattern.

Well then it would be naive to think a radiator doesn't have a harmful effect as it gives of heat radiation. Just because the word radiation is used doesn't mean nuclear radiation and all the effects that can have on you. It is quite amazing how common use of a word can be used to confuse people. As pointed out the Dr. also believes in another cause for AIDs

Hmmm I think someone read the book Cell before publishing their report.

You do realise that heat can burn you, don't you?
