The Wireless Elephant in the Room
We would certainly all agree that health and environmental consciousness has been increasing over the past two decades. Organic foods, yoga centers, mind body programs, health clubs and the healing arts have proliferated. Even healthy ‘fast food’ restaurants have arrived, and large food brands are beginning to go GMO-free. As consumers, we are increasingly making ‘green’ choices that support mother Earth, and which respect our intrinsic relationship with it.

Why then, despite all this interest in health and in living ‘green’, do we have over 133 million people with a chronic illness in the U.S.— approximately 45% of the population1, and growing?…

5G Wireless Rekindles Decades-Old Fight Over Cellular Health Risks
A California city has recently banned 5G cellular towers over health risks. But many say the science is shaky and the threat overhyped.
Something in the Air
The coronavirus pandemic is sparking baseless theories about the dangers of 5G. But the fear that wireless technology is slowly killing us isn’t new—and it doesn’t appear to be going away anytime soon.
The Truth is Out There: Examining the Science Around 5G Paranoia
The role of 5G networks and communication technologies has become more important than ever before in our fight with Covid-19.
Why public health experts are worried about 5G, the next generation of cell network
It's a bit of a David and Goliath battle, as Big Telecom's PR and marketing teams have been busy hyping the possibilities of 5G, while watchdog groups struggle to get funding for even meager studies into potential health effects.
Worried About 5G’s Health Effects? Don’t Be
There’s little reason to think 5G frequencies are any more harmful than other types of electromagnetic radiation, like visible light.

How Big Wireless Made Us Think That Cell Phones Are Safe: A Special Investigation
This article does not argue that cell phones and other wireless technologies are necessarily dangerous; that is a matter for scientists to decide. Rather, the focus here is on the global industry behind cell phones—and the industry’s long campaign to make people believe that cell phones are safe.
Scientists Warn Wireless Devices Could Pose Health Risks
A petition about the potential dangers of wireless and cellular devices has resurfaced. The 250 experts who signed the United Nations and World Health Organization petition in 2015 believe there is an association between cancer and the emission of non-ionizing electromagnetic fields or EMF.
The truth behind claims Airpods cause cancer
No, scientists didn’t sign anything about the dangers of Airpods The scientist declaration referenced in all the news posts is actually from 2015, and was an appeal to governments to take seriously the potential health threats of the type of non-ionizing radiofrequency radiation emitted by cell phones and other wireless devices. Yes, those include Bluetooth devices, like Airpods. But it’s not that simple. We’ll get to that in a minute.
The Wireless Revolution Hits Medicine
The fact that consumers will have this ability to have themselves—their genome sequence, their lab tests, their tissues—digitized on their smartphones and their social networks will reboot the way doctors interact with patients.
Don’t Fly Planes with Wi-Fi Says EMF Health Advocate
Avoid airlines with in-flight wireless, says EMF health advocate Camilla Rees, who notes an airline is a “metal cage” and is “an especially high risk environment for radiation.”
Effects of Wireless Devices on Human Body
The wireless devices have become the integral part of our everyday life. These devices are being used for many purposes such as for Internet and Telecommunication. Being a theoretical approach, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of wireless devices on human body.
The Daredevils Without Landlines — And Why Health Experts Are Tracking Them
For the first time in history, federal researchers report that a majority of U.S. homes rely on cellphones alone for a telephone connection, without a landline. The number of cellphone-only households predictably has been climbing over the years, surpassing the households with both a landline and a mobile phone and now reaching almost 51 percent. And it's tracked by — of all agencies — the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
We need to talk about the health risks of wearable technology
Many agree the simplest cautionary measure is to maintain some physical distance from our radiation-emitting devices—but clearly that will be much more difficult when the device is strapped to one’s body.
The Wireless Elephant in the Room
An overview of the rapidly emerging public health issue from cell phones, wireless devices and wireless infrastructure— and how the growth in these technologies is a little understood driver of poor health outcomes and costs.
