Microwave Radiation is Coming Out of Your Phone and Devices. It Is All Around You. It Is Being Absorbed Into Your Body. It Is Associated with Your Current Condition and Future Illness
Is There Anything I Can Say That Would Cause You To Take This Seriously?
It is easy to list the evidence that radiation is harmful. Several excellent articles and reviews recently published by Children’s Health Defense and Environmental Health Trust lay out the chronology of studies, reviews, and important facts for non-scientists. I share them below and thank these organizations for their tireless efforts and well-cited articles.
It is much harder to influence one to take evidence seriously. The heaping pile of irradiating evidence.
I would like to benefit from evidence of harm that is already known. I would like my children to benefit from the extensive, accumulating bodies of work that point to increasing illness (of all types) resulting from recent changes to our electrical environment. Unfortunately, piles of scientific publications, increased public awareness, a growing subpopulation that can actually feel the effects of wi-fi, an International Appeal from EMF scientists to the World Health Organization1 and lawsuits2 —these all fail to slow the rate of EMF-emitting technology rollouts, let alone halt them. In fact, they seem to do … absolutely nothing.
I will repeat the subtitle of this post: Is there anything I can say that would cause you to take this seriously? So far, none of my conversations with people on this topic have triggered any interest, acknowledgement, or meaningful changes in one’s personal exposure profile. I have talked five people into having their mercury amalgam fillings safely replaced by a biological dentist, but I can not get anybody to care about the radiation coming from their phone.
Since I have not yet cracked the code, here is a little evidence for your bloodline’s consideration…

In January, 2024, those in charge of researching the topic of cell phone radiation declared they will no longer research the topic.
As reported in The Defender on January 18, 2024:
The National Toxicology Program (NTP) has no plans to further study the effects of cellphone radio frequency radiation (RFR) on human health — even though the program’s own $30 million study that took about 10 years to complete in 2018 reported evidence of cancer and DNA damage.
The NTP said in an updated January 2024 fact sheet that it was abandoning further investigation because “the research was technically challenging and more resource-intensive than expected.”
For decades, the NTP has been the premier governmental testing program for pharmaceuticals, chemicals and radiation, according to Devra Davis, Ph.D., MPH, a toxicologist and epidemiologist who served on the board of scientific counselors for the NTP when it was launched in the 1980s.
Commenting on the news, Davis said, “It is the ultimate arrogance and folly to stop doing research on this major growing environmental pollutant, precisely when we have ample evidence of harm.”3
I agree with Davis, although ‘folly’ is an understatement. What does this mean? Is the Program closing? Are people giving up their positions and salaries, since they appear to not want the work? It means, our government—as agents for industry—does not want the science.

A message indicating cell phone use results in ‘Radio Frequency exposure’ is hidden in the manual that comes with every new phone, but nobody realizes this.
What happens when a city council attempts to increase awareness? As reported in The Defender on July 12, 2022:
The city council of Berkeley, California passed a cellphone “Right to Know” ordinance, requiring cellphone retailers to put up signage informing customers that carrying their cellphone in their pocket or bra when the phone is on may result in RF exposure that exceeds federal safety guidelines. The ordinance was initially proposed in 2010 and passed in 2015.
In response, the wireless industry (CTIA) sued Berkeley, claiming the ordinance violates free speech rights by forcing retailers to share this information.
Considering the information in question is hidden in the manual of every cellphone sold, and is required by federal law, this legal wrangling sure makes it appear as though the manufacturers have hidden the warning on purpose, and really do not want consumers to find or know about it.4

Cell phone radiation is associated with many life threatening conditions, including brain cancer.5
In February 2023, Davis and her colleagues published a review of more than 200 studies that linked wireless radiation to negative biological effects including DNA damage, heart problems, cancer, fertility-related and neurological effects.6
Dr. Davis has also written a book:
In addition, over 250 scientists from over 40 nations — who have cumulatively published more than 2,000 papers and letters on the biologic effects of non-ionizing electromagnetic fields (EMFs) produced by wireless devices — signed an International EMF Scientist Appeal, which calls for health warnings and stronger exposure limits.7 The Appeal can be viewed in pdf format here.

The lawsuit filed in 2001, alleging cell phone use causes brain cancer, has been winding its way through the courts for over 20 years.
As reported in The Defender on September 23, 2022:
In 2001 and 2002, six individuals, including Michael Patrick Murray, sued the telecommunications industry. The six plaintiffs had developed brain tumors beneath where they held their cellphones. Additional plaintiffs joined the case in 2010, 2011 and thereafter — with the number of plaintiffs now exceeding 80, according to Lundy.
The defendants are a who’s who of major telecommunications companies, including AT&T, Bell Atlantic, Bell South, Motorola, Nokia, Qualcomm, Samsung, Sanyo, Sony, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon and many other companies. The lawsuit also names the Federal Communications Commission and the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CITA), an industry lobbying group.
Despite efforts on the part of the defendants to get the lawsuit dismissed or relocated to federal court in Maryland, the case was initially remanded from the D.C. District Court to the D.C. Superior Court — where the complaints were dismissed in 2007, before being partially reinstated in 2009, by the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals.
The case continued to wind through the courts, with evidentiary hearings finally beginning this year.
Lundy discussed key details about the lawsuit, stating that the plaintiffs alleged: “the radiation frequency … the microwave radiation coming out of cellphones increased the risk of individuals getting brain tumors.”
The plaintiffs further alleged that “the cell phone industry, the manufacturers and the carriers knew when these [cellphones] were put out on the market that they had dangers that they didn’t warn people about,” said Lundy.8
It is clear: there will be no meaningful regulation of the radiation emanating from your phone. It is up to each of us to assess and mitigate our personal exposures.
If you would like to take personal responsibility for your accumulating phone-induced toxicity:
Eliminate or minimize your cell phone usage
Keep your phone on ‘airplane mode’ unless you need to use it
Use speaker phone when making a call and keep the phone as far away from your body as possible
Hardwire your home and and purchase an ethernet connector for your laptop, so you can turn off the wi-fi in your home
Perhaps migraines will go away. Perhaps anxiety will lesson. Perhaps digestive problems will heal. Perhaps bloody noses will become a thing of the past. Perhaps sleep will be enjoyed once again. Perhaps headaches will go away. Perhaps cancer will spontaneously resolve. This may sound extraordinary, but given the evidence, isn’t this … logic?
