There is no doubt about it. I have known at least one personally and all the way from his farm team days to the big time under the bright lights, it has been an incredibly trying time both physically and emotionally. Long hours away from home and family are just one of the hallmarks of baseball\u2019s \u00a0commitments. All baseball players use cellphones to fill the long hours hours away from home. So why are the \u00a0GBM\u2019s are on the rise in just the pitchers, and catchers . It is no coincidence that this is the area of the brain closest to which the cell phone is held. Baseball players (even retired) probably use their cell phones often as they are on the road often. So why don\u2019t we see the left or right fielders, coaches, or first basemen inordinately coming down with brain tumors on a similar basis?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20161230030903\/http:\/\/thefullertoninformer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/610x.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Yankees Phillies Spring Baseball\" src=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20161230030903im_\/http:\/\/thefullertoninformer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/610x.jpg\" width=\"610\" height=\"371\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A lot goes on behind the plate as that is where all the action is. There are a lot of eyes and ears 30 feet back in the stands. What most people don\u2019t realize is that part of the action behind the plate and elsewhere involves radar. The radar is aimed at the pitcher from behind home plate and at times, in center field aimed at the catchers to get the velocities off of the bat. It is used on almost every ball that is pitched and caught, whether it be at practice, spring training or during regular season, a radar gun is in operation aimed directly at the pitcher. The catcher is also smack dab in the middle of the radar beam. Gary Carter was no exception. He was in the radar gun\u2019s line of fire almost all of the time. For that matter, so are most catchers, pitchers and even umpires. So why then, do not all pitchers, catchers and umpires get brain tumors?<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s talk about radar.\u00a0Radar employs microwave technology to determine the velocity of the ball as it travels to home plate from the pitcher\u2019s mound. It emits a precisely focused, directional beam of electromagnetic radiation that travels right through the catcher, umpire and to the pitcher. Just how many radar guns were in use at each respective game is unclear to me at this point but it is being investigated.<\/p>\n<p>In the 1960\u2019s, The <strong>X band<\/strong> frequency was used extensively which covered the <strong>8-12 GHz range<\/strong>. In the early 1970\u2019s this was changed to the <strong>K band at 18-26 GHZ<\/strong>. Eventually the frequencies on radar guns were shifted to <strong>Ka bands<\/strong>, thus creating a more powerful, and accurate reading in the <strong>26-40 GHz range<\/strong>. I can still remember listening to Don Drysdale \u00a0broadcasting on KMPC on my transistor radio in the 1970\u2019s talking about them clocking Nolan Ryan\u2019s 100 mph fast balls. Radar has been around on the ball field for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the readily available inexpensive models current operate on a frequency similar to the microwave oven in your home, which is around 2.4 GHz. This is also the same frequency that your WiFi and WiFi enabled wireless devices, including some cordless and cellular phones operate on as well. It is well established that microwaves have been shown to make the blood brain barrier permeable to toxins and metals.<\/p>\n<p>I believe this unique combination of cause and effect is why Gary and these individuals fell victim to this tragedy and many others, although exposed to the toxins, were not exposed to the radar failed to develop tumors. Those exposed to the radar that were not exposed to the toxins failed to develop tumors as well. I believe that both are required for the brain tumors to form and this explains what we are observing.<\/p>\n<p>Below is an excerpt from\u00a0Joel M. Moskowitz, Ph.D.\u00a0Director, Center for Family and Community Health\u00a0School of Public Health, University of California, Berkeley\u00a0\u00a0that confirms what low intensity microwaves do to the\u00a0blood\u00a0brain\u00a0barrier:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince exposure to low intensity microwave radiation can open the\u00a0blood-brain\u00a0barrier, toxic chemical exposure may be more harmful to anyone who is exposed to wireless radiation.

A study revealed that six incident cases of testicular cancer developed between\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/8213849\">1979 and 1991<\/a>for officers who all routinely held their radar devices in close proximity to their testes\u2013thus proving their only \u201cshared risk\u201d factor for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/8213849\">health hazards<\/a>\u00a0warranting the condition. One Norfolk, Virginia traffic cop said he worked with radar for 12 years, but since he quit using the radar gun, his cancer is in remission.<\/p>\n<h2>Irradiation of localized tissues increases risk for leukemia and brain or testicular cancer<\/h2>\n<p>Traffic radar guns emit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.phonescausebraincancer.com\/radar-guns-can-cause-cancer\/\">microwave radiation<\/a>\u00a0at frequencies between 10.5 GHz and 36 GHz, with enough intensity to enhance tumor growth by several different means. The radiation is capable of disrupting immune function and enhancing the absorption of carcinogenic substances into cells, so although the radar gun itself may not be directly causing cancer, the microwave radiation is indirectly modifying gene expression and increasing cell proliferation rates, according to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.phonescausebraincancer.com\/radar-guns-can-cause-cancer\/\">scientific research<\/a>, thus leading to increased risk of cancer. Police officers who rest their active radar guns against their chest, next to their head, or in their lap are irradiating localized tissues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRadar guns can affect the health if they are not used properly,\u201d says Johnny Mercer, a motorcycle cop who taught police radar for years, and who says that keeping the gun next to the body for long periods of time increases the risk of cancer, like smokers who get lung cancer after years of tugging back on cigarettes.

Recent allegations in the media link\u00a0cancer with exposure to police radars, one of the lowest power\u00a0microwave systems in our modern society &#8212; typically between 10 and\u00a0100 milliwatts.<\/p>\n<p>Guidelines for safe limits of exposure to microwaves have been\u00a0published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers<br \/>\n(IEEE C95.1, 1991) and the American National Standards Institute\u00a0(ANSI C95.1, 1982). These guidelines were developed to protect<br \/>\nhuman beings from harmful exposure to radio frequency\u00a0electromagnetic fields. Our Committee on Man and Radiation (COMAR)<br \/>\nhas stated that prolonged exposure at or below the levels\u00a0recommended in ANSI C95.1-1982 is not hazardous to human health<br \/>\nbased on present knowledge (IEEE-USA COMAR, 1990).<\/p>\n<p>Measurements and analysis of microwave exposures near properly\u00a0operating police radar units have shown that even maximal exposure<br \/>\nlevels are well below these recommended safety limits. In\u00a0addition, human exposures near police radar are substantially below\u00a0the limits set by other national and international standards.\u00a0Therefore, it can be concluded that microwave exposures near police<br \/>\nradar are safe by existing standards and that there is no\u00a0scientific basis for the alleged link of police radar with cancer.<\/p>\n<p>This statement was developed by the Committee of Man and Radiation<br \/>\nof the United States Activities Board of The Institute of\u00a0Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE), and represents\u00a0the considered judgment of a group of U.S. IEEE members with\u00a0expertise in the subject field. The IEEE United States Activities\u00a0Board promotes the career and technology policy interests of the\u00a0250,000 electrical, electronics, and computer engineers who are\u00a0U.S. members of the IEEE.<\/p>\n<p>BACKGROUND<\/p>\n<p>Police radar was first introduced in the late 1940s as an offshoot\u00a0of World War II radar technology. From time to time, there has\u00a0been controversy over the accuracy of police radar in speed limit\u00a0enforcement. Nevertheless, police radar has evolved into an\u00a0accepted means of traffic control, with more than 75,000 radar\u00a0units in use in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>The microwave properties of speed radars have been known for years. \u00a0In 1981, tests on 22 radar units showed that power densities were<br \/>\nless than 3 mW\/cm2 at the aperture and that exposure decreased with\u00a0separation from the radiating horn (Baird, 1981). Police radar<br \/>\noperates at X and K-band frequencies (i.e.,\u00a0<strong>10-35 GHz<\/strong>), with a\u00a0continuous-wave signal (no modulation), and with output power in\u00a0the range of 10 to 100 milliwatts. The vast majority of police\u00a0radars operate between 10-25 milliwatts, although a small number of\u00a0100 milliwatt devices are still in service. By comparison, the\u00a0power output of a child&#8217;s walkie- talkie is 35 milliwatts, and<br \/>\ncellular hand-held radio-telephones operate at power levels of\u00a0hundreds of milliwatts. In today&#8217;s society, many products utilize<br \/>\nsimilar technology and similar frequencies: alarm systems,\u00a0automatic door openers, motion detectors, and various personal<br \/>\ncommunications networks and inter-computer network systems. \u00a0Thousands of products produce environmental radio-frequency fields\u00a0at similar or higher intensities and in a broad range of \u00a0frequencies (e.g., microwave ovens, mobile radios, electronic news\u00a0gathering systems, broadcasting, amateur radio, and other devices).<\/p>\n<p>Police radar is a low-power system when compared against today&#8217;s\u00a0inventory of existing radio-frequency systems. The total power, \u00a0even if concentrated at a point as in a coaxial connector, is\u00a0insufficient to produce pain or skin burn (Osepchuk, 1983). \u00a0Microwaves at police radar frequencies are absorbed almost wholly\u00a0in the skin, and the power densities near a police radar are well\u00a0below the threshold for thermal sensation at X-band (Handler,\u00a01968).<\/p>\n<p>Biological research with animals at these frequencies has shown\u00a0biological effects only at much higher powers (Rosenthal, et al,\u00a01976 and Hagan, et al, 1976). At least 1 watt of power is\u00a0necessary to produce a cataract in irradiated rabbits at X-band. \u00a0At\u00a0<strong>35 GHz<\/strong>, no cataracts result for less than 600 milliwatt contact\u00a0application to the rabbit eye. Minimal corneal damage under\u00a0contact conditions occurs only for at least 50 milliwatts delivered\u00a0continuously for 0.5 hours to a small area in the eye.<\/p>\n<p>Concerns about health effects (e.g., alleged cataracts) from police\u00a0radar apparently first surfaced in 1987 in a letter distributed by<br \/>\nSilicron Technologies (Tunnell, 1987). This claim received no\u00a0scientific support and in time disappeared. In 1990, a police<br \/>\nofficer from Ohio, Gary Poynter, published a report (Poynter, 1990) \u00a0that alleged a link between police radar exposure and cancer. As<br \/>\na prime example of biological effects of microwave energy at X-band, Poynter selected the series of experiments on Tenebrio<br \/>\nmolitor reviewed by Heynick and Polson (1983). They, however, did\u00a0not interpret these experiments as contradictions to ANSI C95.1-<br \/>\n1982. Furthermore, some of the early work on Tenebrious molitor\u00a0suggested effects of low power levels, which later were found not\u00a0to exist (Olsen, 1981). The allegations of Poynter have been\u00a0expanded in a series of media events &#8212; particularly a series of<br \/>\narticles in Law Enforcement News (1990-1991).<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Fisher (1991) measured police radar units and confirmed\u00a0the results of Baird (1981). Fisher concluded that maximum<br \/>\nexposure during normal use of a hand-held radar device is less than\u00a00.05 mW\/cm2. The newer radars tend to be at lower power than older<br \/>\nones included in the 1981 tests. As a low power device, police\u00a0radar is exempt from the requirement of providing evidence of<br \/>\ncompliance with ANSI C95.1-1982. This exemption was recently\u00a0confirmed to our Committee on Man and Radiation by the Federal<br \/>\nCommunications Commission (Cleveland, 1991). Police radar has been<br \/>\nexamined by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and no action<br \/>\nby the FDA relative to its responsibilities under the Electronic\u00a0Product Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968 was\u00a0deemed warranted (Anderson, 1991).<\/p>\n<p>THE FDA STATED THAT IT KNOWS OF\u00a0&#8220;NO CONVINCING EVIDENCE OF A RISK OF CANCER OR OTHER HAZARDS FROM<br \/>\nEXPOSURE TO THE LEVEL AND TYPE OF MICROWAVE RADIATION PRODUCED BY\u00a0POLICE RADAR UNITS.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As an extra precaution to &#8220;ensure that no\u00a0violations of existing standards can occur,&#8221; the FDA recently<br \/>\nsuggested that the radar antenna be kept at least six inches from\u00a0the body while transmitting. The FDA also stated that &#8220;emissions\u00a0from police radar units contain no ELF modulation and have not been\u00a0associated with the present ELF-cancer controversy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There is no scientific basis for worry that exposure to police\u00a0radar may cause or promote cancer. Underlying our position is its<br \/>\nreliance on the validity of existing science-based safety\u00a0standards. Exposure to police radar satisfies the limits of not\u00a0only IEEE and ANSI standards but also other standards both in the\u00a0U.S. (NCRP, 1986) and elsewhere in the world (IRPA, 1988). We\u00a0believe that continuing research on biological effects is necessary\u00a0across the whole electromagnetic spectrum, in order to ensure an<br \/>\nup-to-date refinement and improvement of existing safety standards.<\/p>\n<p>REFERENCES<\/p>\n<p>1.
