urge you to read the entire detailed work with its many references]
From the Bio-Initiative Report 2012 (2014) which is based on 1800 published studies, prepared by 29 authors from ten countries, ten MDs, 21 PhDs, three MSc, MA or MPHs, and among the authors are three former presidents of the Bio-electromagnetics Society: “Bio-effects are clearly established and occur at very low levels of exposure to electromagnetic fields and radio frequency radiation. Bio-effects can occur in the first few minutes at levels associated with cell and cordless phone use. Bio-effects can also occur from just minutes of exposure to [cell towers], Wi-Fi and wireless utility “smart” meters that produce whole body exposure. Chronic base station [cell tower] exposures can result in illness.” Mobile communications and mobile entertainment require a human environment, indoors and outdoors, filled with disease-inducing radiation. We are bombarded wherever we go in these environments. Wireless radiation pollution is a CONFIRMED HUMAN CARCINOGEN, on par with asbestos and nuclear radiation. Now,
how about ourselves, our children and babies?
America’s toxic denial syndrome is maintained in the smart device age with our complicity. We, the radiation victims, are skillfully “stoned” on what behavioral scientists are now calling “digital heroin.” One in three American babies are hooked on Wi-Fi devices before they can talk. America’s 8- to 10-year-olds spend hours per day on digital media while many teens spend 11+ hours-a-day with a wireless toys. [Kids Wireless Use Facts, CTIA—The Wireless Association, 2016.] Dr. Nicholas Kardaras, a leading neuropsychologist and addiction specialist, explains why: “We now know that those iPads, smart phones and Xboxes are a form of digital drug. Recent brain imaging research is showing that they affect the brain’s frontal cortex—which controls executive functioning, including impulse control—in exactly the same way that cocaine does. Technology is so hyper-arousing that it raises dopamine levels—the feel-good
neurotransmitter most involved in the addiction dynamic—as much as sex.” Glow Kids:

Kardaras, Ph.D., St. Martin’s Press, 2016.
The late Robert C. Kane, Ph.D., whose career included electrical engineering for
Motorola, advised: “The belief that microwaves cannot cause bond breaking in
chromosomes or DNA, or damage tissue more generally is quite inaccurate. Since the
energy absorption mechanism is not the same as that for ionizing radiation, such as Xrays,
the mechanisms of energy transfer that cause the bond breaking may be different.
However the result is quite evident—DNA and chromosomal damage…. It’s not just
happening at one frequency and it’s not just being observed by researchers in one
laboratory. The same chromosome and DNA damages are being reported at frequencies
across the entire range, including 100 MHz [FM radio], 300 MHz, 837 MHz, 954 MHz
[cell phones] 1,250 MHz, 2,450 MHz [2.45 gigahertz: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, smart phones],
and up to 9000 MHz [9 gigahertz: vehicle-to-vehicle radar systems].” Cellular
Telephone Russian Roulette, Robert C. Kane, Vantage Press, 2001, p. 96.
The worst is yet to come. In July 2016, only weeks after federal NTP scientists
announced the preliminary results of their cell phone/cancer studies, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) declared its intention to increase America’s wireless
pollution by millions-fold. Ignoring the internationally recognized Nuremberg Code that
prohibits biological experimentation without informed consent, the FCC is set to unleash
new experimental microwave frequencies to accommodate fifth generation (5G) wireless
technologies.
The 5G will utilize 3.5 gigahertz and also high-band frequencies between 24-86
gigahertz. Microwaves propagated above 30 gigahertz are ultra-short millimeter waves.
Millimeter antennas propagating modulated signals at 24 to 86 gigahertz will assault all
living creatures with invasive photon energy that artificially oscillates the polarity of
tissues 24 to 86 billion times per each measurable second!
None of the upcoming 5G frequencies have been properly tested for their biological
effects (because such testing would literally horrify potential victims?). In September
2017, 180 scientists and doctors representing 35 countries published an urgent request
that the European Union slap a moratorium on 5G technologies until the potential for
human and environmental hazards are fully investigated by scientists independent from
the Radiation Industry. Read the report: Scientists warn of potential serious health
effects of 5G.
What little we know so far is that high-band radiation in the millimeter spectrum has
documented capacity to: penetrate and inflame the skin, manipulate the DNA, damage
cellular membranes, affect growth, endanger eyesight and induce a cascade of other
potentially disastrous biological ramifications not yet understood. [Subjective Symptoms,
Sleeping Problems, and Cognitive Performance in Subjects Living Near Mobile Phone
Base Stations, Hutter et al., Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2006; 63:307-
313.] Millimeter waves absorb and interact with both water and oxygen, two vital components
of human flesh.
Over two decades ago, scientists experimenting with millimeter waves
noted that these hyper-frequencies have potential to affect molecules with “resonant
vibrational or rotational interactions, not seen at lower frequencies.” Most alarming,
these researchers noted that the bizarre effects of these waves can be produced at power
densities hundreds of times lower than the FCC’s public exposure limits currently allow.

The Wireless Radiation Industry is like Big Tobacco. It operates in the shadows as it
sites deadly antennas in our midst and promotes microwave systems and devices. The
industry has never been required to produce valid scientific evidence proving that Wi-Fi technologies and Wireless devices are safe. The industry will never honestly discuss the
thousands of published documents showing that these technologies present grave
hazards to human and animal health. Federal law ensures that corporate wireless
profiteers are exempt from adequate pre-market testing and also from normal
requirements of full disclosure, as is mandatory for pharmaceutical drugs and other
risky products.
Our newly elected Congress has some big work to do! Tell the others.
