How is Radiation from Wireless Transmissions Harmful?

The microwave radiation from wireless infrastructures and devices differs vastly from natural sunlight. Earth’s moist atmosphere absorbs microwaves – so much so that almost no microwave radiation from the Sun reaches Earth’s surface. Near-zero microwave radiation is the milieu in which Life developed on Earth. 

Now, with the buildout of millions of wireless infrastructures in the U.S., levels of microwave radiation typically found in a cityscape or home office rise trillions of times higher than natural background levels. The change in microwave radiation intensities over the past three decades — by more than ten orders of magnitude — is extreme.  And living beings need radiation “quiet” — particularly by night.

Deploying microwave radiation for communications — such as conversations, media broadcasts, utility information, wifi internet content, military uses, or other data — requires modulation: a signal superimposed upon a radiation transmission.  For the carriage of data, modulated microwaves transmit spikes of radiation up to thousands of times per second, with the signal digitalized — either on or off, 1 or 0. This is Pulse Modulation – the most harmful form of modulation.

NIH-sponsored researcher Henry Lai PhD (ret), says modulated radiation is so very unnatural that “nothing like it exists in the entire universe“. 

The U.S. EPA’s most prolific researcher in radiation bioeffects, Carl Blackman PhD (ret), informs us that modulation is the most potent factor in rendering this radiation harmful to living beings.

Quick spiking signals interfere with the functioning of every cell in our bodies, including our brain’s neurons, impairing the way electrons and ions flow in and out of cells.

And because our human bodies are up to 75% in moisture content, we are veritable sponges for absorption of this radiation, which penetrates our bodies thoroughly and produces cumulative effects over time.

Spiking pulses interrupt the heart’s and brain’s electric rhythms, impeding clear thinking. Meanwhile, red blood cells, slightly polarized positive-negative, line up like stacked coins, squashed flat from their normal round shape.  This effect, “Rouleaux formation”, impedes blood cell flow through the smallest blood vessels, initiating a micro-clotting process.

Not a surprise, then, that cognitive and sleep impairments, headaches, tinnitus and cardiac arrhythmias usually present as first symptoms, following a new wireless radiation exposure.  

Since all Life is based in cells and their functioning — whether trillions in a large human body or just one in a single-cell organism — all living beings suffer from such extremely unnatural pulse-modulated microwave radiation.  Yet we humans are the only species deploying and using this harmful radiation.  Is it right that all living beings suffer harm for our data transmissions?  Indeed, pollinating insects, with their tiny antennas, ever-so-sensitive to atmospheric microwave radiation, cannot tolerate the intensities that are found even now in most rural areas.

What this portends for Life-on-Earth is one of humanity’s greatest moral challenges.
