Exposure to microwaves, cell phone radiation causes dangerous free radicals called PEROXYNITRITES to accumulate in the body

In case you have not noticed, the world has become a radioactive nightmare. The advent of microwaves, Wi-Fi routers, wireless mobile phones, smart meters, and all the associated technology that goes along with these things – this includes 5G technology – is wreaking havoc on human health to a degree never before seen in history.

Every major mobile phone carrier in the United States – and many outside the United States, save for Russia and a few other places where 5G is banned – is slapping up 5G, and soon to be 6G, transmission nodes anywhere and everywhere they can despite there being zero safety studies showing that chronic exposure to 5G is safe. The result is widespread illness in a variety of forms.

The type of 5G deployed across America relies primarily on a bandwidth known as the millimeter wave. This is the same type of radiation found in the naked body scanners at U.S. airports, and it is known to cause a burning sensation on the skin – this is why many air travelers were opting out and choosing an invasive pat down instead. Millimeter wave radiation is also linked to eye and heart problems, suppressed immune function, genetic damage, and fertility problems.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) openly admits that there has not been even a single study conducted on 5G either by the agency itself or by any of the major players in the telecommunications industry – and no studies are planned for the future, either. This means that Americans are being fried day in and day out by an untested radiation type, the long-term effects of which are still being uncovered.

Not only are people being exposed to 5G towers that emit millimeter waves, but also to the hand-held devices that communicate with them. This includes 5G-equipped “smartphones,” laptop computers, tablets, and all sorts of other electronic wireless devices.

According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, persistent exposure to microwave frequencies such as those emitted by these products trigger mitochondrial dysfunction, as well as the production of peroxynitrite, a harmful substance that occurs when a certain free radical called superoxide anion reacts with nitric oxide (NO). The end result is the potential formation of all sorts of chronic health problems, not the least of which are cardiac arrhythmias, anxiety, depression, autism, Alzheimer’s disease, and infertility, to name just a few.

“Peroxynitrite interacts with lipids, DNA, and proteins via direct oxidative reactions or via indirect, radical-mediated mechanisms,” explains a 2008 study published in the peer-reviewed journal Physiological Reviews. “These reactions trigger cellular responses ranging from subtle modulations of cell signaling to overwhelming oxidative injury, committing cells to necrosis or apoptosis.”

The study further found that peroxynitrite generation plays a direct role, pathogenically speaking, in serious health conditions such as stroke, myocardial infarction, chronic heart failure, diabetes, circulatory shock, chronic inflammatory diseases, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders.

In a petition filed with the United Nations (UN) by more than 230 international EMF scientists, it was further explained that chronic EMF exposure at levels the governments of the world deem as “safe” is linked to a range of other health problems as well.

“Effects include increased cancer risk, cellular stress, increase in harmful free radicals, genetic damages, structural and functional changes of the reproductive system, learning and memory deficits, neurological disorders and negative impacts on general well-being in humans. Damage goes well beyond the human race, as there is growing evidence of harmful effects to both plant and animal life.”

5G never should have been approved in the first place: It’s untested and unsafe

So far, these pleas for government regulators to do something have accomplished nothing. A 2017 call for a moratorium on 5G technology was ignored, despite being endorsed by more than 180 scientists and doctors from 35 countries who say that 5G should remain banned “until potential hazards for human health and the environment have been fully investigated by scientists independent from industry.”

“RF-EMF has been proven to be harmful for humans and the environment,” this cohort of field experts added, further noting that “5G will substantially increase exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields on top of the 2G, 3G, 4G, Wi-Fi, etc. for telecommunications already in place.”

Dr. Ronald Powell, PhD, a retired scientist of applied physics at Harvard University, believes that “there is no safe way to implement 5G in our communities … there are only ‘bad ways’ and ‘worse ways,’” he says.

Amazingly, out of more than 35,000 published articles on EMFs, only seven involve medical or biological studies. And not a one of these seven involved modulating or pulsing the signal as happens in real life for 5G transmission, according to Dr. Joel M. Moskowitz, PhD, director of the Center of Family and Community Health School of Public Health at UC Berkeley.

Over the past 100 years, EMF exposure has increased an astounding one quintillion times – a quintillion is a million trillion, or a million million millions. That is a lot more radiation than a person can even imagine or quantify, let alone endure for very long before serious health problems arise.

A few easy ways to help minimize your EMF and 5G exposure is to not use a 5G phone, for one. It is also ideal to rid your home of as many “smart” appliances and devices as possible, as well as to turn off your phone and wireless router at night while you sleep.

A study by the School of Medicine of the Chinese University of Hong Kong discovered that the incidence of primary brain cancer was higher in high-income jurisdictions, and was closely related to the per capita gross domestic product (GDP), the human development index (HDI) and the prevalence of traumatic brain injuries, occupational carcinogen exposure and mobile phone use at the country level.

Global incidences of primary brain cancer have been relatively stable over recent years, but an increase was observed in younger males in high-income countries. The research suggests that risk factor control and early cancer detection should be implemented among high-risk populations.

Although primary brain cancer is not common, the survival rate is much lower than any other type of cancer. The medical community still does not understand the primary cause of brain cancer.

According to the data of the Hong Kong Hospital Authority, an average of 240 new cases of primary brain cancer and 115 deaths in Hong Kong were recorded every year between 2011 and 2020.

The university research team referenced international databases from the Global Cancer Observatory, the World Health Organization Mortality Database, and the World Health Organization Global Health Observatory for the research on brain cancer. Using the collected data, they calculated and analyzed the age-adjusted incidence, mortality rate, and prevalence of various brain cancer risk factors.

The discovery found disease burden caused by brain cancer varied in different regions. Among the countries, the incidence rate in southern Europe is the highest, while the mortality rate in West Asia topped the analysis.

The result also showed that brain cancer is directly proportional to GDP, HDI, traumatic brain injury, occupational carcinogen exposure, and cellphone usage. Countries or regions with more significant risk factors would also have higher mortality rates.

The study also found that the incidence rate of young males in developed countries has been increasing. Using the Average Annual Percentage Change (AAPC) for comparison, the largest increase in incidence rate among males was found in Slovakia (4.4). Among females, the largest increase was found in Denmark (3.4).

The Average Annual Percentage Change is a measure of the overall changes in cancer incidence or mortality during a specific period. For example, if the incidence AAPC of certain cancer in a country is five for the past 10 years, it means that the incidence in that country increased by 5 percent on average each year over the 10-year period.

Notably, a relatively larger increase was found in males aged 50 years and younger, which was most pronounced in Slovakia again. The trend in mortality from primary brain cancer has been stable rather than showing an obvious decreasing trend.

Dr. Jason Huang Junjie, the first author of the study and research assistant professor from the Jockey Club School of Public Health and Primary Care at the Chinese University of Hong Kong Medicine, said, “The incidence of and mortality from primary brain cancer varies by region, which may be related to detection and diagnosis ability and the prevalence of risk factors in each place. However, the causes have not been established yet and require further investigation.”

Professor Martin Wong Chi-sang, the senior corresponding author of the study, added, “Policymakers in different regions should implement evidence-based, targeted prevention strategies to control relevant risk factors.”

The brain cancer research, carried out by the Chinese University of Hong Kong, in conjunction with the Association of Pacific Rim Universities, was published in the Internationally Authoritative Medical Journal, Society of Neuro-Oncology, on Sept. 1, 2022.

NEW Urgent Warning to All Cell Phone Users:The WORST Place to Store Your Cell Phone .

It is no secret that cell phones are dangerous, but storing them in some places could be more damaging to your body than others. Do you know which ones?

Research has shown that those who begin using cell phones heavily before age 20 have four to five times more brain cancer by their late 20s, compared to those whose exposure is minimal.

Dr. Devra Davis, author of “Disconnect–The Truth About Cellphone Radiation,” has been researching the safety hazards of radiation emanating from your cell phone.

In 2011, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), an arm of the World Health Organization (WHO), declared cell phones a Class B Carcinogen, meaning a “possible cancer-causing agent,” based on the available research.

This places cell phones in the same category as diesel engine exhaust, some pesticides, and some heavy metals. The expert panel ruled that there was “some evidence” that regular cell phone use increased the risk of two types of tumors – brain tumors (gliomas) and acoustic neuromas.

One mechanism of harm, published in 2010, explains how electromagnetic fields damage your cells and DNA by inducing a cellular stress response. The research was conducted by Dr. Martin Blank, Ph.D., a former Associate Professor at Columbia University in the department of physiology and cellular biophysics and past president of the Bioelectromagnetics Society.

Moreover, no heat is required for this DNA damage to occur. Dr. Blank believes the potential harm of wireless technologies can be significant, and that there’s plenty of peer-reviewed research to back up such suspicions.

It’s important to note that researchers are in general agreement that there’s a latency period of about 10 years or more before the damage shows up, which places children at greatest risk, a risk that is potentially exacerbated with more modern 3G technologies, which appear to be even more harmful than earlier versions.

Where Do You Keep Your Phone?

Growing numbers of young women in this fast-paced connected society keep their phones in their bras, hijabs (headscarves), or pockets–unaware of manufacturers’ hidden warnings. Distinguished cancer specialists Robert Nagourney and John West, comment on an unusual case of multiple breast tumors in a young woman who had kept her cell phone in her bra, advising on the need to Practice Safe Phone.

Research published in 2009 showed evidence that wearing a cell phone on your hip may weaken an area of your pelvis. Using an X-ray technique used in the diagnosis and monitoring of patients with osteoporosis, researchers measured pelvic bone density in 150 men who regularly carried their cell phones attached to their belts. The men carried their phones for an average of 15 hours each day and had used cell phones for an average of six years. The researchers found that bone mineral density was lowered on the side of the pelvis where the mobile phones were carried, raising the possibility that bone density could be adversely affected by the electromagnetic fields emitted by cell phones.

Previous studies have found that cell phone radiation can affect men’s sperm count, and the quality and motility of their sperm and this may be a far greater issue than its effect on bone density.

Cell Phone Use In Children & Teens Translates Into 5 Times Greater Increase In Brain Cancer

Cell phone use has undoubtedly become increasingly popular amongst the younger generation with one-fifth of children as young as the age of 8 shown to already own and use cellular devices. An ongoing study conducted in Sweden by the Hardell Group, in association with the International Interphone Study,  shows that this trend could be detrimental as children and teens are far more susceptible to brain tumor development from this exposure.

Cell phone use has quickly become the societal norm for people of all ages to stay connected to one another and the rest of the world. Many of us have become so dependent upon them that it has become more common to see a bus filled with people all looking down at their phones rather than a bus filled with people communicating with one another. As troubling as this trend may be in general, it seems to be increasingly troublesome for the world’s younger generations who are now getting “connected” at even younger ages.

A study conducted by the Massachusetts Aggression Reduction Center (MARC), which included over 20,000 children/ teens between grades 3 and 12, concluded that approximately 20% of grade 3 students already owned a cell phone. The numbers steadily rose from that point forward to approximately 25% in grade 4, 39% in grade 5  and 83% in middle school.

As wonderful as cell phones can be for both connectivity and as a safety tool for children in case of an emergency, the side effects seem to heavily outweigh these benefits -especially since most children make them a part of their regular life. The dangers of cell phone use gained a lot of mainstream credibility in 2011 when the World Health Organization (WHO) admitted that cell phone radiation may cause cancer. The statement was based off of a cumulative decision made by a team of 31 scientists, from 14 different countries, after reviewing evidence that suggested this to be the case.

The most conclusive evidence thus far however seems to have come from Sweden where the Hardell Group, in association with the International Interphone Study, have found a consistent pattern of increased brain tumors associated with mobile phone use. Unlike many other studies conducted on the subject matter, that which has been conducted by the Hardell Group spans over the course of 10 years allowing for a better understanding of the long-term effects of the devices. Professor Lennart Hardell himself, while speaking at a conference held at the Royal Society by the Radiation Research Trust, revealed that there was a five-fold increase in glioma within people who started to use mobile phones prior to the age of 20.

Glioma, for those that are unfamiliar with the term, is a tumor that begins in the brain or spinal cord, and is the most common form of brain tumour.

The reason why children and teens seem to be more at risk lies within the fact that unlike adults, their brain and nervous systems are still developing, and in this state are far more susceptible to troubling behaviour caused by cellular devices. Children in particular have been identified as being the greatest at risk because they have smaller brains, a lower skull bone density, a less effective blood brain barrier and more connective tissue making them capable of absorbing up to 3 times as much radiation as an adult.

As troubling as these findings may be, there are steps that we can take to help minimize the impact that cell phones can have on all of us, no matter our age. Aside from perhaps holding back on giving our children access to cell phones at such a young age, informing them of the dangers associated with their use is always a great first step. The same can be said for informing your friends and family of all ages, making sure they are made aware of how hazardous their favorite device can be, especially if heavily used and depended upon. Several helpful precautions are discussed in this article that we released in 2013, including dietary choices, technological devices and even alternative protection that are all readily available to be implemented.

Ever since the World Health Organizationadmitted in 2011 that cell phone radiation is “possibly carcinogenic“, and may be contributing to the global uptick in brain cancer cases, it’s far harder to label someone a hypochondriac for being concerned about the long-term health consequences of exposure.[i]

In fact, one study cited in their report showed a 40% increased risk for gliomas in the highest category of heavy users (reported average: 30 minutes per day over a 10-year period) – not exactly a small effect.

Now, a more recent study published in the journal Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology confirms that the microwave radiation given off by mobile phones is capable of transforming normal cells into cancerous ones.

Titled “Cellular Neoplastic Transformation Induced by 916 MHz Microwave Radiation“, researchers exposed fibroblast cells, a connective tissue-producing type of cell, to 916 MHz electromagnetic frequencies (which have already been shown to alter brain biomolecules), and found that after 5-8 weeks exposure they changed their form and rate of proliferation to a cancerous phenotype. These cells were also found to be tumor-forming when transplanted into mice.

What You Can Do To Protect Yourself

Realistically, most people reading this article will not be decommissioning their iPhones or Androids any time soon. These devices enable us to stay closely connected to our loved ones, as well as to connect to the global brain which is the internet. But what this research does implore us to do is to exercise caution.

Here are a few steps to take to reduce exposure:

  • Wear a headset or earphones to keep the device as far away from your head and/or other vital organs as possible.
  • Turn the device off whenever it is not being used.

If you are a heavy user, consider incorporating one of the following proven cell-phone radiation mitigating substances:

  • Bee Propolis – A compound found within bee propolis, which is like the mortar the bees use to repair and maintain the structural integrity of their hive, known as caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), has been experimentally tested to protect the kidneys, hearts and retinas of cell-phone exposed mice.  Our bee propolis research page actually lists 12 studies on its radioprotective properties, including protecting against diagnostic and/or “therapeutic” (e.g. radiotherapy) gamma-radiation.
  • Melatonin – Melatonin is released during deep, restful sleep – which is always the best way to obtain this natural protective secretion. Melatonin has been studied for its ability to protect against cell-phone induced retinal and kidney damage.  Like propolis, melatonin has also been shown to have powerful radioprotective properties against gamma-radiation induced oxidative stress and tissue injury.
  • EGCG (green tea polyphenol) – Green tea contains a potent antioxidant known as EGCG (epigallocatechin-gallate) and which has been shown to protect the liver against mobile-phone induced radiation damage.
  • Ginkgo Biloba – This plant never ceases to amaze. Not only is Ginkgo Biloba the oldest living plant (a “living fossil”) known to man, but it seems to provide a broad range of benefits to brain and cognitive health.  It has been experimentally confirmed to prevent mobile-phone induced oxidative stress in the rat brain.
  • N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) – the the precursor to glutathione, N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) a powerful cell-protective antioxidant that your body produces, given it has adequate cofactors available.  It has been shown to protect the liver against mobile-phone induced damage.
