Proof of A Correlation Between

Cell Phones and Brian Cancer Henry Lai (Biophysicist at University of Washington)

Tests (Ketcham) DNA of Rats (Ketcham)

Conclusions (Ketcham)

Leif Salford (Swedish Neurosurgeon)

Tests (Ketcham)

Killed rats brain cells (Ketcham) Conclusion- A rats brain is very much the same as a humans. They

have the same blood-barrier and neurons. We have good reason to believethat what happens in the rats brain also happens in humans (qtd. inKetcham).
