Individual Research Studies

This category of research was most commonly generated using sectors of the population with higher exposures to Cell, Broadcast and Radar Towers before personal wireless devices were so prevalent inside and outside the home. It can be said we are now equally exposed  to higher RF/microwave radiation because of the close proximity personal wireless devices and 1000’s of Cell antennas. Therefore, health symptoms and complaints by population at large could be similar to those experienced just 8 years ago by those living closer to cell towers and antenna farms. Many of the Studies involve self reporting answers to questionnaires using Distance from neighboring RF Transmitters. Several studies verified questionaire answers by comparing the answers to RF measurement changes, and/or actual biological effects.

Attributing health issues to Wireless Exposure are:

Sleep Disorders, headaches, irritability, depression, anxiety, fatigue, digestive issues, memory/learning issues, dizziness, flushing, tinnitus, tremors, cardiac issues.

CELL PHONES

On March 28, 2018 one of the largest and most influential Cell phones studies to date was completed and reviewed by the NTP (National Toxicology Program), part of the US National Institute of Health,  and peer review panel of Industry and Academia. The research found multiple Cancers and Tumor formation in both Rats and Mice from exposure to 2G and 3G cell phone radiation.  Cancer and Neoplastic lesions of the Heart, Brain, Adrenal and Prostrate glands were statistically significant. Certain evidence that the pituitary, liver and pancreas could also may be effected by 2G and 3G phone radiation. DNA damage was also found in different areas of the body; however the Peer Review Panel did not review that evidence

4G and the critically debated 5G technology phones were not tested. Yet the radiation signals from these phones is much more complex and potentially more powerful

Many of the common diseases associated with the Nervous system and the brain have been found under occupational exposures. Unfortunately, these exposures do not categorize what type of electromagnetic frequency was involved. The ones that do, identify it in crude terms as Magnetic fields, probably in lower frequency bands associated with power lines frequencies, not the higher RF & microwave frequencies bands found in wireless communication radiation. Nevertheless, 60 years of electromagnetic research demonstrates a parallel between bio-effects occurring in the lower powerline frequency bands, and the higher RF/microwave frequency bands.

Diabetes

Diabetes is a particularly pervasive disease today with a very strong growing trendline. Diabetes is an interesting disease because it relates to many other metabolic diseases, which often their root cause in stress factors concommitantly effecting glucose metabolism. The key factor in RF radiation’s bioeffect is most often stimulating stress mechanisms of the body.

Most of this section involves smaller animal life such birds and bees. They appear to be easier to study as well as more susceptible to RF wireless radiation technologies. Several plant studies have been performed that show they can be equally compromised by our wireless technologies.
