Science and Research
There is mounting evidence worldwide, contained in reputable peer reviewed and published studies and journals, showing adverse biological effects from low-frequency, radiofrequency fields.
Governmental health protection agencies are reluctant to recognize new studies as relevant, claiming that more research is needed over an extended period of time before any protective measures need to be taken.
There is already substantial and compelling research in this field. In view of the unprecedented speed with which wireless technologies are being deployed and adopted, many highly respected scientists have repeatedly presented credible, insightful, brave and forward-looking evidence with minimal funding or support. Based on results and careful observation, they are saying that strong evidence warrants caution.
Just as harm from wireless technologies has not been proven to the satisfaction of our present governments, neither have they ever been proven to be safe. Due to the fact that there are no unaffected populations left, there can be no "control" for traditional experimentation.
Until such time as wireless technologies and infrastructure are proven to be safe, our old paradigm is sorely lacking.

Electromagnetic Fields Stress Living Cells
M. Blank, R. Goodman - Pathophysiology
"Electromagnetic fields (EMF), in both ELF (extremely low frequency) and radio frequency (RF) ranges, activate the cellular stress response,
a protective mechanism that induces the expression of stress response genes. . . The 20 different stress protein families are evolutionarily conserved and act as 'chaperones' in the cell when they 'help' repair and refold
damaged proteins and transport them across cell membranes. . .
While low energy EMF interacts with DNA to induce the stress response, increasing EMF energy in the RF
range can lead to breaks in DNA strands. It is clear that in order to protect living cells, EMF safety limits must be changed from the current
thermal standard, based on energy, to one based on biological responses that occur long before the threshold for thermal changes."
