Story at a glance:

• According to many experts, chronic, heavy exposure to wireless radiation is likely to have severe repercussions for our health, especially that of children, who are now being exposed even before birth.

• While a number of different devices contribute to the overall radiation burden, those kept closest to your body on a regular basis, such as your cellphone, are of greatest concern.

• Your body has natural electromagnetic fields (EMFs), as many of your bodily processes involve the transmission of electric signals, and external interference can disrupt those signals.

• Inside every cell in your body are mitochondria, the power plants of your cell, and they are adversely impacted by EMFs, resulting in mitochondrial and cellular dysfunction.

• Two organs that are most vulnerable to outside radiofrequency (RF) interferences are your heart and brain. Both also have the highest density of voltage-gated calcium channels, which are inappropriately activated by EMFs, thereby causing most of the damage associated with EMF exposure.

Most people today live in a sea of RF, emitted from wireless technologies of all kinds, from routers to smartphones, tablets, baby monitors, TVs, appliances, smart meters and more.

In the featured ABC program “Wi-Fried,” (video below) originally aired in 2016, Maryanne Demasi, Ph.D., investigates the alleged safety of mobile devices.

According to many experts, chronic, heavy exposure could have severe repercussions for our health, especially that of children, who are now being exposed even before birth.

As noted by Devra Davis, Ph.D., an epidemiologist and author of the book, “Disconnect: The Truth About Cell Phone Radiation,” children have never before been exposed to this level of pulsed radiation, and it’s still too early to determine the exact extent of the harm.

Still, mounting evidence suggests harm is indeed occurring, so it would be foolish to wait until we’re in the midst of a global catastrophe.

External interference can disrupt natural bioelectric signals

While a number of different devices contribute to the overall radiation burden, those kept closest to your body on a regular basis, such as your cellphone, are of greatest concern.

Worldwide, there are more than 6 billion cellphone subscriptions. In other words, we’re rapidly nearing total saturation, where every single person on the planet has one of these devices.

Many of these mobile phones are smartphones, with apps that frequently receive and transmit pulsed electromagnetic signals.

The human body also has natural EMFs, as many of your bodily processes involve the transmission of electric signals, and as noted by Demasi, “External interference can disrupt those signals.”

In a 2016 article, Jerry Phillips, Ph.D., a biochemist and director of the Excel Science Center at the University of Colorado, explained how living cells react to RF radiation:

“The signal couples with … cells, although nobody really knows what the nature of that coupling is. Some effects of that reaction can be things like movement of calcium across membranes, the production of free radicals or a change in the expression of genes in the cell.

“Suddenly important proteins are being expressed at times and places and in amounts that they shouldn’t be, and that has a dramatic effect on the function of the cells. And some of these changes are consistent with what’s seen when cells undergo conversion from normal to malignant.”

When you consider that your body runs on bioelectricity, it’s easier to understand how and why biological damage from wireless phones might occur.

For starters, your body has natural EMFs, as many of your bodily processes involve the transmission of electric signals, and external interference can disrupt those signals.

In the past few years, it’s become increasingly clear that mitochondrial dysfunction is at the root of most chronic diseases, so in terms of public health, the effects of chronic EMF exposure may be far more profound than suspected.

We may not only face an avalanche of brain cancer in the coming decades but also heart disease, neurological disease and infertility.

Your heart and brain are most susceptible to EMF damage

Two of the organs that are the most vulnerable to outside RF interference are your heart and your brain. Both of these organs also have the highest density of voltage-gated calcium channels.

Research by Martin Pall, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of biochemistry and basic medical sciences at Washington State University, suggests voltage-gated calcium channels are activated by low-intensity EMFs such as those emitted from cellphones, triggering an excessive influx of calcium into the cell.

The excess intracellular calcium and the increased calcium signaling appear to be responsible for most if not all of the biological effects associated with EMF exposure, which include an increase in:

• Neuropsychiatric disorders and diseases such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism and Alzheimer’s

• Hormonal effects

• Cardiac effects

• Chromosomal breaks

• Impaired fertility especially in men

• Oxidative stress

• Changes in calcium signaling

• Cellular DNA damage

• Breakdown of the blood-brain barrier

• Cancer

• Melatonin depletion

• Sleep disruption

Research confirms EMF-induced health effects

As early as 1990, before there even was a consumer cellphone industry, at least two dozen epidemiological studies on humans indicated a link between EMF and/or RF and serious health problems, including childhood leukemia.

More recently, two government-funded studies — one on mice and one on rats — found evidence of heart tumors and damage to the brain and DNA.

This $25 million research, conducted by the National Toxicology Program — an interagency research program housed at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences — is said to be the most extensive to date, and it confirms that the heart and brain are key areas affected by high, chronic EMF exposure.

Earlier research by Allan Frey, Office of Naval Research, also revealed cellphone radiation weakens cell membranes, including your blood-brain barrier, placing your brain at further increased risk by allowing systemic toxins to enter.

Male testes are a third area with high voltage-gated calcium channel density, and indeed, studies have linked EMF exposure to male fertility problems as well.

Cellphone radiation has been linked to a reduction in sperm motility and viability, and Wi-Fi-equipped laptops have been linked to sperm DNA fragmentation after just four hours of use.

Disturbingly, most people will carry their cellphones either in their breast pocket or pants pocket, effectively radiating the most sensitive parts of their body — their heart and reproductive organs. Then, when talking on the phone, they will place it to their ear, exposing their brain.

Pregnant women are also exposing their unborn children to harmful radiation when carrying a cellphone on their body, or using it near their body.

According to research, prenatal exposure to power-frequency fields can nearly triple a pregnant woman’s risk of miscarriage.

Several other studies have also linked prenatal EMF exposure to an increased risk of miscarriage.
