Pulsed high-power radio frequency energy can cause non-thermal harmful effects on the brain

"High-power microwave applications are growing for both military and civil purposes, yet they can induce brain-related risks and raise important public health concerns. High-power sub-millisecond radio frequency energy pulses have been demonstrated to be able to induce neurological and neuropathological changes in the brain while being compliant with current regulatory guidelines’ limits, highlighting the necessity of revising them."

Epidemiological exploration of the impact of bluetooth headset usage on thyroid nodules

"SHAP analysis revealed age and daily Bluetooth headset usage duration as the two most significant factors affecting thyroid nodule risk. Specifically, longer daily usage durations of Bluetooth headsets were strongly linked to an increased risk of developing thyroid nodules, as indicated by the SHAP analysis outcomes. Our study highlighted a significant impact relationship between prolonged Bluetooth headset use and increased thyroid nodule risk, emphasizing the importance of considering health impacts in the use of modern technology, especially for devices like Bluetooth headsets that are frequently used daily."

Summary of seven Swedish case reports on the microwave syndrome associated with 5G radiofrequency radiation

Abstract

The fifth generation, 5G, for wireless communication is currently deployed in Sweden since 2019/2020, as well as in many other countries. We have previously published seven case reports that include a total of 16 persons aged between 4 and 83 years that developed the microwave syndrome within short time after being exposed to 5G base stations close to their dwellings. In all cases high radiofrequency (RF) radiation from 4G/5G was measured with a broadband meter. RF radiation reached >2,500,000 to >3,180,000 μW/m2 in peak maximum value in three of the studies. In total 41 different health issues were assessed for each person graded 0 (no complaint) to 10 (worst symptoms). Most prevalent and severe were sleeping difficultly (insomnia, waking night time, early wake-up), headache, fatique, irritability, concentration problems, loss of immediate memory, emotional distress, depression tendency, anxiety/panic, dysesthesia (unusual touched based sensations), burning and lancinating skin, cardiovascular symptoms (transitory high or irregular pulse), dyspnea, and pain in muscles and joints. Balance disorder and tinnitus were less prevalent. All these symptoms are included in the microwave syndrome. In most cases the symptoms declined and disappeared within a short time period after the studied persons had moved to a place with no 5G. These case histories are classical examples of provocation studies. They reinforce the urgency to inhibit the deployment of 5G until more safety studies have been performed.

Follow-Up Research on NTP’s Clear Evidence on RF Causing Malignant Tumors in Rats [Health Matters]

Abstract:
The recent disclosure of the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) closing down its RF radiation research program on how RF radiation causes cancer was a surprise [1] , [2] , [3] . NTP is a part of the National Institutes of Health and reports to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. NTP’s mandates are to provide the scientific basis for programs, activities, and policies that promote health or lead to the prevention of disease.

Letter to the Editor: 'COSMOS: A methodologically-flawed cohort study of the health effects from exposure to radiofrequency radiation from mobile phone use'

"To the Editors, Environment International

We write to point out serious methodological problems with the Cohort Study on Mobile Phones and Health (COSMOS) brain tumor risk paper (Feychting et al., 2024). Because of these flaws, the study does not provide reliable estimates of the risks of tumors associated with exposure to mobile phone radio frequency radiation (RFR). This paper which summarizes interim results from this 25-plus year cohort study (Schüz et al., 2011) demonstrates many of the overall study’s shortcomings."

Overzicht studies gsm-straling en kanker 2011-2018

De Zweedse Stichting voor Stralingbescherming maakte een mooi overzicht van de vele studies (2011-2018) die aantonen dat gsm-straling kanker kan veroorzaken:

2018: Mobile radiation should be classified as Group 1, human carcinogen. Miller et al. 2018

2018: Increased risk of brain tumor. New meta-analysis arrives at the same thing as previous analyzes: the overall research shows that use of a mobile phone for a longer time increases the risk of brain tumor. Wang et al. 2018

2017: Increased risk of brain tumor. Survey from Canada shows increased risk of brain tumor of mobile use. For those who used the mobile over a total of 558 hours, the risk was doubled. Mormoli et al. 2017

Grootste dierstudie ooit bevestigt link tussen straling en kanker

Rammazini studie 2018Wetenschappers pleiten bij de Wereldgezondheidsorganisatie om de IARC-classificatie van de elektromagnetische straling te verhogen naar categorie 1, nadat de Ramazzini Institute studie en de studies van de Amerikaanse overheid dezelfde ongewone kankers vaststelden.

De recente Ramazzini Institute studie is de grootste studie die ooit werd uitgevoerd op ratten. Ze bevestigt de eerdere onderzoeksresultaten van de US National Toxicology Program studie (NTP) van 2016, toen de grootste studie op ratten ter wereld.

Beide studies bevestigen het oorzakelijk verband tussen straling en zeldzame hart- en hersenkankers (glioom en schwannoom).
