Re: Letter writer dubious about effects of radio waves (Letters, Oct. 26)

The writer suggests that people who claim to suffer from the effects of electromagnetic radiation are really just having a psychosomatic spell. ItB次元官网网址檚 all in their heads, he opines.

IB次元官网网址檓 reminded of a 10-year, $25-million study by the U.S. National Toxicology Program that was concluded just this spring which stated that there was a direct correlation between radiation emitted by cell phones and cancer.

Just imagine the reaction of the rats that were the subjects of this study if they had only realized as they lay dying from brain cancers (gliomas) and schwannomas of the heart that it was not the radiation that had laid them low. It was really just their imaginations run amok.
