seizure increasing with cell phone usage
 

In 2016, Kouchaki et al tested mobile phone radiation in mice and concluded “continued and prolonged contact with the mobile phone radiation might increase the risk of seizure attacks and should be limited.”   Cell phones can cause seizures, yet DMAS is demanding we expose our children with epilepsy to them or loose funding.  

The CDC reports 3.4 million Americans suffer from epilepsy based on their 2015 data.  This number rose from 2.3 million in 2010.  470,000 of these cases are children.
