According
to Dr. Boian Alexandrov at the Center for Nonlinear Studies at Los
Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, terahertz (THz) waves destroy human DNA. The waves literally unzip the helix strand.
Now a team of technologists at UT Dallas are planning to take chips
broadcasting THz waves and embed them into mobile phones for use as an
imaging system for consumers, law enforcement and medical personnel... a
potentially deadly technology that could eventually kill or sicken
millions of people.
j,.[]BeforeItsNews/The
controversial THz scanner technology used by the TSA at many of the
nation's airports is being adapted for cell phone use. Studies of
terahertz radiation have caused experts to raise alarms over the
significant health risks to humans.
Recently major media touted a new chip that permits the adaption of a THz generating device to be embedded into cellular phones.
dgIs the price for seeing through walls, a grisly death?
The excited press painted grand pictures
of such technology being used by consumers to see through walls and
objects, while health professionals like physcians might incorporate the
technology to seek out small tumors inside patients without the need
for invasive surgery.
The THz wave—located between microwaves and infrared on the electromagnetic spectrum—was
chosen for security devices because it penetrates matter such as
clothing, wood, paper and other porous material that's non-conducting.
At the time experts believed this type of radiation was harmless.
They were wrong.
From this... To this...?
THz radiation unzips the DNA molecule
In
a breakthrough study conducted by Dr. Boian Alexandrov at the Center
for Nonlinear Studies at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico
and a team of physicists, they discovered terrifying evidence that
exposure to THz radiation builds cumulatively and affects human and
animal tissue DNA. In essence, it tends to unzip the DNA molecule.

The Los Alamos scientists paper, DNA Breathing Dynamics in the Presence of a Terahertz Field
reveals very disturbing—even shocking—evidence that THz radiation
significantly damages the DNA of the people being directed through
airport scanners and all TSA workers in close proximity to the machines.
Their synopsis: "We
consider the influence of a terahertz field on the breathing dynamics
of double-stranded DNA. We model the spontaneous formation of spatially
localized openings of a damped and driven DNA chain, and find that
linear instabilities lead to dynamic dimerization, while true local
strand separations require a threshold amplitude mechanism. Based on our
results we argue that a specific terahertz radiation exposure may
significantly affect the natural dynamics of DNA, and thereby influence
intricate molecular processes involved in gene expression and DNA
replication."
What
all that means is the resonant effects of the THz waves bombarding
humans unzips the double-stranded DNA molecule. This ripping apart of
the twisted chain of DNA creates bubbles between the genes that can
interfere with the processes of life itself: normal DNA replication and
critical gene expression.
Likely to cause cancer
David
J. Brenner, a Columbia University doctor and expert on the effects of
radiation stated that it's quite likely the TSA scanners will cause
cancer in some individuals.
Brenner, whose Columbia's Center for Radiological Research work focuses on radiation's effects on biological processes, low exposure risk evaluation and radio-isotopic therapy, is concerened that people with compromised immune systems such as AIDS patients, those suffering from lupus or other immune-deficient ailments are especially at risk. Infants, children up to age 5 or 6, women who are pregnant or lactating, cancer patients and many more should steer far clear of the machines.

Those exposed to THz radiation—whether from security scanners or future cell phone technology—who
are taking certain prescription medications or have significantly low
levels of certain vitamins have increased risk of radiation induced
carcinomas.
Repeated exposure to low level radiation scans can also lead to cataracts and bring on skin cancer—including deadly melanoma.

A CMOS chip used in many different products
THz to utilize existing CMOS chips
According to the Daily Mail, the chips—created using Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor—or CMOS use the same technology already incorporated into devices like HD TVs, smart phones and personal computers.
Dr. Kenneth O, professor of electrical engineering at the University of Texas at Dallas and leader of the project explained to the Daily Mail
that "We've created approaches that open a previously untapped portion
of the electromagnetic spectrum for consumer use and life-saving
medical applications.
"CMOS
is affordable and can be used to make lots of chips," Dr. O said. "The
combination of CMOS and terahertz means you could put this chip and
receiver on the back of a cellphone, turning it into a device carried
in your pocket that can see through objects."
The team's findings were presented to an enthusiastic audience at the 2012 International Solid-State Circuits Conference held in San Francisco, California. Next the team plans to create the CMOS terahertz imaging system.
Before moving ahead with the project, the good doctor and his team might consider contacting Dr. Boian Alexandrov and his team at Los Alamos to compare notes.
It
would be a shame if a deadly technology that could eventually kill or
sicken millions of people were unknowingly sold across the world.
