- The Facts:A model of
the way the THz waves interact with DNA explains how DNA damage may
occur
and why evidence has been so hard to gather. This is simply a model, it's not experimental, but it does raise cause for concern. - Reflect On:Why are so many technologies approved for use without conducting the appropriate safety tests first? Studies have already shown cause for concern, yet too often the research goes ignored.
What
are Terahertz waves? They’re the radiation that fills the spot between
microwaves and infrared waves on the electromagnetic spectrum. These
waves can pass through non-conducting materials like clothes, brick,
wood, paper, etc. As a result, they can be utilized within cameras to
look inside an enclosed structure, or sealed envelopes, into living
rooms in order to “frisk” people at a distance.

It’s not just Terahertz waves, it’s
multiple sources of electromagnetic radiation. In the past, there were
no artificial sources of electromagnetic radiation. Now, we are
bombarded with them. Cell phones, wifi, 5G and numerous other sources
are all heavily present in our environment, and the corporations putting
out this technology have not done any appropriate safety testing. The
studies that have emerged about this subject are eye-opening and very
concerning.
The statement below emphasizes my
point, which comes from Dr. Sharon Goldberg, an internal medicine
physician. Dr. Goldberg announced this at Michigan’s 5G Small Cell tower
legislation hearing. You can watch that here.
Wireless radiation has biological effects. Period. This is no longer a subject for debate when you look at PubMed and the peer-review literature. These effects are seen in all life forms; plants, animals, insects, microbes. In humans, we have clear evidence of cancer now: there is no question. We have evidence of DNA damage, cardiomyopathy, which is the precursor of congestive heart failure, neuropsychiatric effects…
Dr. Martin Blank,
Ph.D., from the Department of Physiology and Cellular Biophysics at
Colombia University, is one of the leading experts in this area of
study. He explained:
Putting it bluntly they (EMFs) are damaging the living cells in our bodies and killing many of us prematurely. (source)

There are thousands of peer-reviewed
studies on this subject, and hundreds of scientists have been
petitioning the United Nations to pay attention. The problem is the
industry and how they’ve taken over medical science. Information about
harmful technological products that make a very small group of people billions of dollars every
year is somehow brushed under the rug. Corporate control over science
and government health regulators like the FDA and CDC is completely out
of control.
In this article, I’d like to focus on research conducted
by Boian S. Alexandrov et.al. at the Center for Nonlinear Studies at
Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. It revealed that these
Terahertz waves could “…unzip double-stranded DNA, creating bubbles that
could significantly interfere with processes such as gene expression
and DNA replication.”
This is concerning because Terahertz
waves are used, as previously mentioned, to peer through things. Airport
scanners are a perfect example. That does not mean that airport
scanners can rip apart DNA, but it does suggest we need further testing
on these instruments. These Terahertz waves are absorbed and emitted can
also be used to determine the chemical composition of a material. Even
though they don’t travel far inside the body, there is hope that the
waves can be used to spot tumours near the surface of the skin.
The author of the study states,
With all the potential, it’s no wonder that research on terahertz waves has exploded in the last ten years or so.
He then asks the question,
But what of the health effects of terahertz waves? At first glance, it’s easy to dismiss any notion that they can be damaging. Terahertz photons are not energetic enough to break chemical bonds or ionise atoms or molecules, the chief reasons why higher energy photons such as x-rays and UV rays are so bad for us. But could there be another mechanism at work?
Apparently, the evidence that Terahertz
radiation (which is different from the wireless and other EMF radiation
that’s put out by multiple devices) damages biological systems is mixed.
Alexandrov outlines how some studies reported significant damage, while
others showed none.
This is concerning, regardless of how many studies have shown no DNA damage. The fact is that there are studies that do
show damage. Even if only one study proved that there could be DNA
damage, it’s confusing as to why this technology would be approved.
Alexandrov and his team created a model
to investigate how the fields interact with double-stranded DNA. What
they found was remarkable.
They say that although the forces generated are tiny, resonant effects allow THz waves to unzip double-stranded DNA, creating bubbles in the double strand that could significantly interfere with processes such as gene expression and DNA replication. That’s a draw dropping conclusion.
It’s important to note that this
particular study was a model, it wasn’t actually experimental. However,
the team still presented enough information to suggest this technology
could be dangerous to our health, especially given the hazardous
biological effects of other waves on the electromagnetic spectrum.
This should set the cat among the pigeons. Of course, terahertz waves are a natural part of environment, just like visible and infrared light. But a new generation of cameras are set to appear that not only record terahertz waves but also bombard us with them. And if our exposure is set to increase, the question that urgently needs answering is what level of terahertz exposure is safe.
The last point made in the quote above
is important to note. We’ve never been bombard this much — our exposure
has never been so high.
North America also seems to be running
behind, as multiple countries have completely banned wifi technology and
cell phones in nursing homes and elementary schools because of the
dangerous effects these technologies can have on our health.
It’s concerning that we are approving technology that use these types of waves when one of the only studies
on this subject outlines how “research in this field has only just
begun, both at home and abroad. In this paper, research progress with
respect to THz radiation, including its biological effects, mechanisms
and methods of protection, will be reviewed.” (source)
That paper goes on to emphasize that,
although many biological effects are unknown, tremendous advancements in
medical technology could come from their use. This wouldn’t be the
first time we’ve seen potentially dangerous technologies being used in
the healthcare system, such as mammograms.
Who knows! I guess we will have to wait
and see until more research emerges. At the end of the day, a lot of
technology and pharmaceuticals we use have not gone through appropriate
safety testing, and so we may be seeing the same thing here.

The Takeaway
Although it’s unclear what will happen here, there is still so much electromagnetic radiation in our environment that it’s important to protect yourself. There are many things you can do to combat electromagnetic radiation. You can have a wired internet connection, unplug all of your devices before you sleep, purchase EMF protective clothing, and even paint your walls with EMF protective paint. You can live a healthy lifestyle, but I believe the mind body connection is so strong that anything can be mitigated through the deepest levels of healing.Help Support Collective Evolution
