International Health! Compelling Evidence for Eight Distinct Types of Great
Harm Caused by
Electromagnetic Field (EMF)
Exposures and the Mechanism that Causes Them
"By
attacking all of these important systems in the body, EMFs attack everything we
care about including our health (in many ways), our reproductive systems, the
integrity of our genomes and our ability to produce healthy offspring. "

Summary:
We know that there is a massive literature, providing a high level of scientific certainty, for each of eight pathophysiological effects caused by non-thermal microwave frequency EMF exposures. This is shown in from 12 to 35 reviews on each specific effect, with each review listed in Chapter 1, providing a substantial body of evidence on the existence of each effect. Such EMFs:
1. Attack our nervous systems including our brains leading to widespread neurological/neuropsychiatric effects and possibly many other effects. This nervous system attack is of great concern.
2. Attack our endocrine (that is hormonal) systems. In this context, the main things that make us functionally different from single celled creatures are our nervous system and our endocrine systems – even a simple planaria worm needs both of these. Thus the consequences of the disruption of these two regulatory systems is immense, such that it is a travesty to ignore these findings.
3. Produce oxidative stress and free radical damage, which have central roles in essentially all chronic diseases.
4. Attack the DNA of our cells, producing single strand and double strand breaks in cellular DNA and oxidized bases in our cellular DNA. These in turn produce cancer and also mutations in germ line cells which produce mutations in future generations.
5. Produce elevated levels of apoptosis (programmed cell death), events especially important in causing both neurodegenerative diseases and infertility.
6. Lower male and female fertility, lower sex hormones, lower libido and increased levels of spontaneous abortion and, as already stated, attack the DNA in sperm cells.
7. Produce excessive intracellular calcium [Ca2+]i and excessive calcium signaling.
8. Attack
the cells of our bodies to cause cancer. Such attacks are thought to act via 15
different mechanisms during cancer causation.
There is also a substantial literature showing that EMFs
also cause other effects including life threatening cardiac effects (Chapter
3). In addition substantial evidence suggests EMF causation of very early onset
dementias, including Alzheimer’s, digital and other types of dementias (Chapter
3); and there is evidence that EMF exposures in utero and shortly after birth can
cause ADHD and autism (Chapter 5).
Each of these effects is produced via the main mechanism of action of
microwave/lower frequency EMFs, activation of voltage-gated calcium channels
(VGCCs) (Chapter 2). Each of them is produced via what are called downstream
effects of VGCC activation. It follows from this that we have a good
understanding not only that these effects occur, but also how they can occur.
The extraordinary sensitivity of the VGCC voltage sensor to the forces of the
EMFs tells us that the current safety guidelines allow us to be exposed to EMF
levels that are something like 7.2 million times too high. That sensitivity is
predicted by the physics. Therefore, the physics and the biology are each
pointing to the same mechanism of action of non-thermal EMFs.
The different effects produced are obviously very deep
concerns. They become much deeper and become existential threats when one
considers that several of these effects are both cumulative and eventually
irreversible. There is substantial evidence for the cumulative nature and
eventual irreversibility of the neurological/neuropsychiatric effects, of the
reproductive effects, the mutational DNA effects, the cardiac effects, of some
but not other of the hormonal effects (Chapter 3); any causation of ADHD and
autism may add additional concerns (here the cumulative nature is probably
limited to the perinatal period). When we know that sperm counts have dropped
by more than 50% throughout the technologically advanced countries on earth, it
is difficult to avoid the conclusion that the vast majority of the population
in those countries is already substantially impacted. The same conclusion can
be made based on the widespread nature of the neuropsychiatric effects in those
countries. Both of those effects will get much much worse even with no increase
in current exposures, due to the cumulative nature and irreversibility of these
effects. I expect we will see crash in human reproduction almost to zero as
happened in the Magras and Xenos mouse study which I estimate to occur within
about 5 years, without any increases in our exposures. Obviously 4G and 5G will
make the situation much worse. Similarly I expect that the deterioration in
brain function that we are already seeing will seal our fate if we fail to act
rapidly and vigorously. Our collective brain function may become completely
incapable of dealing with such a mega-crisis situation.
Now it can be argued that some of these may not develop as I expect, although
those expectations are based on the best available evidence. One may even be
able to argue this for all of those expectations. However, when we have
substantial risk of multiple existential threats to every single
technologically advanced country on earth, failure to act vigorously means there
is a very high probability of complete destruction of these societies. And the
chaos which would inevitably ensue, in a world that still has nuclear weapons,
may well lead to extinction. In the face of these types or risk, the only
reasonable course is to move with great vigor to stop new exposures and lower
current exposures. One can still access the internet, using wired connections.
And we can lower cell phone tower and cell phone radiation substantially. Smart
meters, if needed, can work via wired connections.
Over 60% of this document (Chapters 5 & 6), is focused on the failures of
statements from SCENIHR, the telecommunications industry, the U.S. FCC and the
U.S. FDA to reflect the science. Their statements repeatedly omit much, often
all of the most important science. Their statements are rife not only with
omissions, but also with easily demonstrable falsehoods and with false logic.
These have often occurred at times where we know that they knew better. These
have occurred along with vigorous efforts by the telecommunications industry to
corrupt the science by attacking individual scientists whose only fault is that
they have obtained important findings that the industry does not like. These
attacks have occurred along with vigorous efforts to corrupt two agencies that
have important regulatory roles.
There are also possible concerns about individual industry-linked research
studies. All wireless communication devices put out polarized EMFs that carry
information via pulsations. Both the pulsations and the polarization make these
EMFs much more biologically active. There are three other factors that also
influence the production of effects. Several industry-linked studies may have
used these factors, along with using very tiny numbers of individual animals in
their studies, to produce studies which may have been designed to fail (Chapter
5). It is not clear at this point whether this type of concern is quite limited
or whether it is very broad.

The European Commission has done nothing to protect European
citizens from any of these very serious health hazards and the U.S. FDA, EPA
and National Cancer Institute have done nothing to protect American citizens.
The U.S. FCC has been much worse than that, acting vigorously with wanton
disregard for our health.
Preface
The document that follows was, in its original form, sent to many of the
authorities of the European Union, in conjunction with other documents sent to
the same people by a group of European scientists. It was in response two
documents that were, in turn, written by Mr. Ryan and Dr. Vinciƫnas responding
to a large group of European and other international scientists expressing
great concern about the safety of 5G. I was asked by the leaders of the group
of scientists to write my own response to those two documents. Mr. Ryan made
the statement that “There is consistent evidence presented by national and
international bodies (International Commission on Non Ionising Radiation
Protection - ICNIRP, Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified
Health Risks (SCENIHR) that exposure to electromagnetic fields does not
represent a health risk, if it remains below the limits set by Council
Recommendation 1999/519/EC1.” In fact, that is not either the ICNIRP or SCENIHR
position – their position, and similar positions have been taken by the U.S.
FCC, FDA and the National Cancer Institute, is that the evidence is
inconsistent or conflicting and therefore, in their view, no conclusions can be
drawn. Some of these organization have also stated that there is no known
mechanism by which effects can be produced. What is shown below is that there
is a vast amount of evidence in the independent scientific literature that
conflicts with both the conclusion about lack of demonstrated effects and the conclusion
about lack of mechanism.
The European Commission, according to the Ryan and Vinciƫnas documents and the
U.S. National Cancer Institute, according to their web site, are each depending
on the SCENIHR 2015 document to make judgments about EMF effects. Consequently,
the reliability of SCENIHR 2015 is an essential element in determining the
reliability of both of their assessments.
The document that is presented below, differs from the document that was
emailed to EU authorities in three different ways: 1. The original document was
sent as an email with multiple attachments. In this document attachments are
simply provided as citations. The current document is a stand-alone document.
2. Some material is inserted to discuss positions taken by the U.S. FCC, FDA
and National Cancer Institure, so as to be particularly relevant to the U.S.
situation. 3. Substantial additional evidence is also provided.
