Mother Who Loses Son to Brain Cancer Warns of Cell Phone Use

Posted by: Beach Reporter In: events

My Son, Rich Farver, died Oct. 11, 2008 from glioblastoma multiforme brain cancer.  He was 28 years old when diagnosed and lived seven months.

He was a graduate student at SDSU (San Diego State University).  There is a brain cancer cluster on campus.  Five brain cancers, 4 within the last three years.  Some Professor’s and I paid an expert to test a cell tower outside of this area, and it ended up being in normal ranges.  There are over 300 antenna’s within a 4 mile radius of the campus.

Mr. Sam Milham, from the,” International EMF Collaborative,” concluded my Son’s brain tumor was cellphone related.  Rich’s tumor was in his right frontal lobe, and he was right handed.  He also owned a T-Mobile cell phone since 2000.  Please, everyone be careful!

My husband and I were walking out of a store locally here in Colorado, and ran into one of our old neighbor’s, who asked how our Son’s were doing.  We explained that Rich, was deceased.  They told us of one of Rich’s friends from high school, was just diagnosed with brain cancer.

I NO longer have a cellphone, and it isn’t hard to do at all.   The only purpose of one is EMERGENCIES only.  Our Government isn’t keeping us safe.  There are predictions that 2 billion people by the year 2020 will have brain tumors.

As a Mom, who watch a Son lose the ability to walk, see, and have blackouts for seven months, besides the fact losing a child is the worst ever.  Do NOT let this happen to you!  Rich, was the LOVE of my life, my Best Friend, and all I ever wanted.  My hopes, dreams, and future are all but over.  I have endless counseling sessions, medications for depression, and many days find it hard to get out of bed.  No amount of money, success, material items could even come close.  Please, be careful.

Also, WIFI has been eliminated from schools in many other countries.  1 hour of WIFI is equivalent to 20 minutes of cellphone exposure.  Look at articles by, “The International EMF Collaborative,” and the,” BioInitiative Working Group!”

Sincerely,
Virginia Farver

I became very ill and developed cancer while being (unknowingly) exposed to high levels of electro magnetic radiation.

There are very strong reasons to believe that cell phones and other wireless devices are causing cancer.

To understand the great dangers from electro magnetic radiation, view the Bio Initiative Report at-bioinitiative.org

I am very sorry to hear about the death of Rich and I thank Virginia for trying to warn others about this terrible danger.

Anyone who still has doubts should read Lloyd Morgan’s analysis of the science. See also Prof. Leif Salford’s research. It is tragic, and I fear we will see this more and more as kids are exposed at a younger age. Not just cancer but probably all kinds of mental problems from the nerve damage.

I have a Ph.D. in physics from Berkeley so don’t tell me there is a physical law that makes this impossible. And don’t tell me the radiation from the sun is way stronger. Sunlight doesn’t penetrate into your skull, but microwaves do, and a cell phone is billions of time stronger in the microwaves than any natural source.

I was so sorry to read about the tragic loss of this wonderful man taken in his prime. I am reaching out in great compassion to his family and friends.

So many people have already been damaged by cell phone use and other wireless devices yet most people use them daily and let their young children carry these unsafe devices around with them in pockets and in bags close to their bodies. Then at night these same children sleep in close proximity to cell phone chargers, cordless phones and other radiating devices.

What if this technology is eventually given the public ‘unsafe’ diagnosis? By then most of us will know someone killed by using wireless technology and if not yet dead then sickened and unable to live a fully functioning life.

What is the electro magnetic radiation doing to the birds, bees and insect life? We know that these species rely on magnetic cryptochromes to navigate and we also know that EMR plays havoc with this navigation. ‘Without bees, there will be no pollination of crops and mankind will be four years from extinction’.

Surely we should all do something and NOW!

It is sad for all this people ho suffering from health effects from pulsed radio waves, inclusive my self.
And at the other hand it is ferry good that a lot off scientists are working on this big world problem.
I was shouting in 2004 all those things, Melatonine, No heating but pulsed waves, immune system, enz. And all this things are coming out now to be the fact.
I lost my job two times now. First in 2001 and the second 2006.
And the Insurance here in holland deny the hole case. at nono base.

This situation is so bad that it is better to Rather be eaten by a lion.

There are 2.5 billion cell phones in use, shouldn’t the streets be full of people dying from brain cancer if this were true? With that many phones the odds are pretty good that someone who owns one is going to get brain cancer. So saying that cells cause the cancer just can’t be supported. Have you ever heard of cosmic rays? The human body is bombarded every second by high energy particles that come from outer space. Maybe those caused your sons cancer. People drive cars and people get cancer, would you say driving cars causes cancer?

I think the corelation between cell phone usage and brain cancer is definitely positive. My mother passed away at Christmas time in 2002, and was dignosed with the same “Glioblastoma Multiforme” which you name.
She was dignosed as having the cancer in the first week July of 2002 So, she lived just about six months from the diagnoses. I try not to use any wireless technology as it almost always gives me a headache and causes fatigue. Its strange though how some people report no reaction with the technology.

It’s important to remember that cancer isn’t caused by just one thing. It requires several environmental factors to come into play in tandem in order for the cancer to take effect in a great enough manner to become a threat. Most of us will have cancer start in our bodies at one point or another but the body’s own system will take care of it before it takes care of us.

Things like Tobacco, Alcohol, Carcinogens, Radiation etc are all catalysts that, when exposed to frequently and consistently, greatly increase the ability for cancer to take root and threaten the host. Like all things, the idea is moderation and maintaining a healthy lifestyle otherwise. I am very sorry for your loss.

I am another cell phone survivor. I needed a bone graft in my jaw where my cell phone used to spend a lot of time. My dentist spotted the mass that turned out to be a pre-cancerous tumor. We need to measure the tower output throughout the day and you will see a huge fluctuation. The feds err on the side of corporations and wait for us canaries in the mine to die en masse.

Be Afraid, Be very Afraid. I can’t stand to be in the room with a microwave. I to do not have a cell phone. Just sitting here with all the electronics off in the house I still feel bombarded with waves. This Billion dollar industry will bite us in the heart by taking our children away prematurely. My heart is heavy for you Virgina.

To “Ice Trey”-If you are a cell phone user, read all the fine print & recommendations for use.Over ten years ago, the phone I was then using, which had the least microwave output, recommended all users to hold the phone 6 inches from the head while using, never carry phone in pocket, & a host of other restrictions I can’t recall.Some more powerful phones have even greater output.While you are standing around being affected by those bad old “Cosmic Rays”, I’m sure the Hi-Tech companies are reading your well thought out arguments with glee, cause your cell is more important to you than your health.

I forwarded this link to several people I know, and asked them to pass it on. I get along fine without a cell phone; I in fact don’t think it’s a good idea to be available all the time anyway, and certainly not at the price of being at risk for brain cancer!

In 2005 I searched for protection against electromagnetic frequencies (EMF) due to eye pain from using computers for 20 plus years. A wellness center introduced me to BioPro Technology based in CA which has done extensive research on dangers of EMF from cell phones, wireless, computers & all electrical devices. To protect the public, they have been educating people on how to get protection from EMF since they started in the US & have developed dual technologies of Energy resonance technology & Molecular resonance energy technology which are charged to cell or universal chips (plastic device with polymer & these technologies) and these are attached to the electronic device to neutralize EMF. I did not want to use a cell phone without it. I feel the difference in the vibrations with & without these technologies. I do not get much headache & pain using computers anymore. For those who need EMF protection, there is a solution you can read about in-mybiopro.com/trinity3. Cell phones are useful but we just need to get the effective protection.

wasn’t there also a huge problem in austraila regarding a large percentage of children developing cancer from cell phones? it didn’t make the headlines here, but i do remember reading about this.

sorry for your loss; treasure the time you had with your son - may the memories help to heal you and give you closure.

Trina…I hate to break it to you but Biopro is not an effective solution.

Here is what Dr. George Carlo of the Safe Wireless Initiative had to say about Biopro in April 2008….

“With that independent testing and evaluation now completed, there is no doubt that the Biopro technology does nothing of what it claims. Indeed, it has little value in helping prevent EMR related health effects.

I am firmly opposed to what Biopro does in their business and opposed to the misleading portrayals of their products. ”

Dr Carlo is a leading expert on wireless saftey. Don’t be misled by companies that claim a sticker will protect you from wireless radiation.

I live in an area of South Florida called The Acreage, which has been officially declared to have a Cancer Cluster by the Health Department. They have decided not to investigate the cause of all the Brain Cancers occurring to kids here. I have a strong feeling this is happening everywhere. Who knows what’s going on? Is it really just cell phones, antennas and towers, or is it something far more serious and unsolvable? Does the government already know? Where’s the EPA in all of this? The CDC?

I have thoughtfully sent this post on to you so that you can know the truth about what is behind BioPro and their wonderful technology. My ears stopped burning, my head stopped ringing and my office became quiet and peaceful when I used the BioPro chips for all of my wired and wireless machines. Dr.Carlos is a FRAUD and tried to steal the BioPro technology, when that didn’t work he took to slander and lies. Know the truth and the truth could save your life.

I am just starting this website (www.best-emf-health.com). Have done very extensive study on EMF’s in order to save my life. An exposure to high magnetic field gave me cancer. See my testimony here: http://www.boost-immune-system-naturally.com My cancer is now gone but I am EMF Sensitive. My life is drastically changed. I can feel electric, wireless, magnetic and ionizing radiation instantly in all the areas where I had cancer as it is trying to re-activate it again. You will see on my best-emf-health website that distance is the only safe solution, but some devices actually help discharge the radiation a little faster somewhat minimizing the damage. I tried several to do this and the best by far was Earthcalm - see page at boost-immune-system-naturally.com You see we each have a ‘radiation cup’ once that cup gets full we are in big trouble. Stay tuned to my emf website by RSS feed. I will outline how to prevent and survive damage from EMF radiation according to all I have learned that saved my own life - by the Grace of God.

Hello Everyone; I’m Virginia Farver, that this story is about! I lost my Son, Rich, from glioblastoma multiforme brain cancer, October of 2008. Since the first article, I came home and investigated this Cell Tower outside of Nasatir Hall, on the SDSU campus in San Diego. It is a HPWREN, High Performance Wireless Research and Educational Network. A backbone node to the UCSD campus. It has the capability of sending signals up to 74 miles away, Mount Soledad, Mount Laguna, Mount Margarita, Homeland Security, Emergency Services, etc.. I wanted to clear up that I do think Rich’s cell phone caused his brain cancer, and I KNOW this Tower was the cause as well! Please, everyone find out what is on the cell towers that you live near! They aren’t always what they seem! This tower is still on campus, and there are still students and staff that are near it. I actually heard that they had turned this tower down, since all of these brain cancer cases! I would have done anything for my Son, and if I had known this tower had the capability that it has, I would have NEVER allowed my Son to attend there! Also, I flew to Maine to meet with Representative Andrea Boland, who was trying to pass legislation to get cell phone brain cancer warnings on cell phone packaging. Did you know, if you ALL read your manuals, they ALL tell you NOT to put your cell phone near your heads or bodies? Please, read the fine print! I pray no one else goes through this devastating disease! I just miss my Son.

Sincerely,
Virginia Farver
