7At the most basic the intracellular (cytoplasm) and extracellular environments are separated by a phospholipid bilayer.

10Like the bulk organism, it is essentially transparent to magnetic fields.

12The cellular environment where these phenomena take place:
13 "In cellular aggregates that form tissues of higher animals, cells are separated by narrow fluid channels that take on special importance in signaling from cell to cell. These channels act as windows on the electrochemical world surrounding each cell. Hormones, antibodies, neurotransmitters and chemical cancer promoters, for example, move along them to reach binding sites on cell membrane receptors. These narrow fluid "gutters," typically not more than 150 A wide, are also preferred pathways for intrinsic and environmental electromagnetic (EM) fields, since they offer a much lower electrical impedance than cell membranes. Although this intercellular space (ICS) forms only about 10 percent of the conducting cross section of typical tissue, it carries at least 90 percent of any imposed or intrinsic current, directing it along cell membrane surfaces.
14
15 Numerous stranded protein molecules protrude from within the cell into this narrow ICS. Their glycoprotein tips form the glycocalyx, which senses chemical and electrical signals in surrounding fluid. Their highly negatively charged tips form receptor sites for hormones, antibodies, neurotransmitters, and for many metabolic agents, including cancer promoters. These charged terminals form an anatomical substrate for the first detection of weak electrochemical oscillations in pericellular fluid, including field potentials arising in activity of adjacent cells or as tissue components of environmental fields."

755G and Millimeter Waves:

77Overview by Martin Pall.

79
805G builds on top of 4G, and has three main elements:
81-LED streetlights, which can be (and in many places have been) fitted with a sub-GHz band (868/870 MHz) urban radar.
82-The millimeter wave small cells
83-New forms of WiFi
84And fiber optic cable as the spine, which will allow all this data harvesting and transmission. Densification of these exposures are covered below.
85
86Wi-Fi "WiGig". This new version of WiFi will use the 60 GHz band and new modulation schemes.

96 https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/dont-fall-prey-to-scaremongering-about-5g/
97 Offers very little actual evidence and seems to try to wrap it up by drawing in other controversies (vaccines etc). The claims (and points) made are addressed throughout this document. Some of them actually go way back and down some very interesting avenues. Despite claims of cherrypicking, a massive amount of data has been produced over the last 115 years, and the bulk of it, its indications, and the direction the total body of literature is pointing, has been omitted from this analysis. For example it's implied the NTP study's methodology must be of low quality, and its results useless, because male rats had a longer lifespan and therefore this inherently contradicts DNA damage and higher cancer incidence in certain animals. Now taking this from a broader scope, when research was still being funded and carried out properly from the 50's to mid 90's, this was a relatively common finding. Soviet researchers were reporting an initial increase in lifespan and certain metrics of health in offspring for a generation or two as early as the 1960's, Magras and Xenos of Greece during the 90's found the same thing in rats, but nonetheless, with population level irreversible infertility occurring within 5 generations. Why is he talking as though no one has ever done multi-generational exposure studies? Why is he acting like teratogenicity research was never carried out? Was it just that no one even thought to do it? Of course not. Because research is "old" (generally the argument), should it be excluded from our risk assessment, particularly when no one has bothered to fund modern research before "deploying" these systems onto the citizenry? Hence, "we have no reason to believe 5G is safe"

123 Mobile phones are perceived as high risk, and recongized to be a powder keg where it's just a matter of time. This also means these companies, and their shareholders, are personally liable and have quite a bit at stake financially. This financial vulnerability odds are is partly the basis for their behavior. Regardless, assuming there isn't some manner of corporate compartmentalization unto their liability, a few good lawsuits could take these companies out, permanently. Investors, if properly informed, wouldn't go anywhere near 5G. Probably why some reports show they aren't stating any risks in their marketing material, a form of fraud. By necessity a lie to sustain a house of cards, will eventually escalate.

138 Speculatively, could be muddying the waters, buying him off (unlikely unless we see there's more where that came from), or, from the get-go strategic theater designed to set up plausible deniability, showing telecom getting a good and rational talking to, and bringing into the public eye long enough so it may be assumed there's someone at the wheel taking care of it, that the cogs of government are now moving to solve the problem.

159Prior work, effects, unique actions, and mechanisms:
160Adey 1993 - Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields:
161 "COOPERATIVE MODELS OF FREE RADICAL BEHAVIOR IN EM FIELD BIOEFFECTS
162
163 Research at the other extreme in the EM spectrum also support concepts of free radical interactions. There may be special significance to biomolecular interactions with millimeter wave EM fields. At frequencies within the range 10-1,000 GHz, resonant vibrational or rotational interactions, not seen at lower frequencies, may occur with molecules or portions of molecules. Biomolecular and cell research in this spectral region has been meager. Studies in solutions of DNA and of growth effects in bacteria have yielded conflicting results that may relate to extreme technical difficulties not encountered at lower frequencies. There are major problems in the engineering of suitable exposure systems, in ensuring biocompatible exposure devices, and in evaluation of experimental data for physical and biological artifacts.
164
165 Studies of yeast cell growth by a team of German scientists over the past 15 years using athermal millimeter wave fields have shown that growth appears finely "tuned" to applied field frequencies around 42 GHz, with successive peaks and troughs at intervals of about 10 MHz. In recent studies, they noted that the sharpness of the tuning increases as the intensity of the imposed field decreases; but the tuning peak occurs at the same frequency when the field intensity is progressively reduced. Moreover, clear responses occur with incident fields as weak as 5 picowatts/cm^2.
166
167 In a recent synthesis emphasizing nonthermal interactions of EM fields with cellular systems, Grundler et al. [1992] present models of the sequence of EM field transductive coupling, based on magnetic field-dependent chemical reactions, including cytochrome-catalyzed reactions that involve transient radical pairs, and production of free radicals, such as reactive oxygen or nitric oxide, leading to further highly cooperative amplification step. Based on Frohlich's [1986] model of interactions between an imposed field and high-frequency (10^12 Hz) intracellular van der Pol oscillators, they conclude that "imposed fields can be active even at intensities near zero." In other words, a threshold might not exist in such a system."

186Millimeter wave devices have a long history of medical use in Russia and Eastern Europe, and to an extent Germany. China is now making use of it, like most of the technology the West mothballed or abandoned.
187 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30692070
188Soviet and Eastern European work (covered below) in the 60's and 70's arrived at their own issues and speculations about a role for the skin. It was observed that long term millimeter wave exposure caused broad degenerative changes in organs (including brain), demyelination of peripheral and spinal nerves with fragmentation of their axons, greatly altered enzyme (metabolic) activity in organs, behavioral changes. And yet the bulk of the energy was thought to be absorbed within the first few mm of the skin surface. This means one or both of the following is true, the changes in deep structures of the body are downstream of stimulation of the "receptor apparatus of the skin" (nerves, sweat glands, etc), or that the wave propagates much deeper and more easily than is assumed. Along with some later work in the USSR, modern day there's data to support both of these.
189
190Some personal speculation: The entirety of the skin surface acts as a massive EM (inc mmWave) transceiver array.

192In this report, children in China were able to determine characters written on folded pieces of paper using their palms, and for one child, the ear. If the report is accurate as stated, perhaps this works like mmWave airport imaging? It's known that there is a voltage difference between the hands, (probably why in many ancient systems the right hand "gives" the left "receives", relative to the left the right hand is positive), but this doesn't seem to rely on that with the single ear. Perhaps this also relates to the human ability to feel when we're being watched. If eyes generate a field of some reliably relative specific character, an animal which could detect this would be at a great survival advantage. The brain already keeps a fine grained map of the body's location in space, via this it could easily infer direction based on stimulation of the skin. Low infrared (THz waves) could also be at work.

197[m][Navy]Rozzell 1984 - Bioelectromagnetics Research in West Germany An Assessment
198 "For several years now a number of researchers have been stimulated to look for the frequency-dependent effects predicted by Frohlich and suggested by the experiments of Webb in the US and by a group of 5oviet workers led by Smolyanskaya and Vilenskaya. Frohlich suggested that critical oscillations exist in macromolecules that determine the activity and function of the organism. It is believed that the frequencies of these oscillations lie roughly between 100 and 1000 GHz. It is reasonable to conjecture that functional activities occurring at the macromolecular level depend on critical, and perhaps matching, oscillations being present at the right place and time for a given reaction to occur. Such oscillations might be finely tuned and "metastable," in which case small inputs of energy to one or both halves could cause disruption in the progress of the function or reaction. Frohlich and others actually postulate that there is a type of threshold or limit cycle in metabolic excitation of large-amplitude vibrations."

269Nature's machinery has traditionally provided the bulk and basis of human GDP, automatically, for free. That way of things will be coming to a close as we become more efficient at destroying our own life support systems. Pollinator loss is spreading, the (inevitably short lived) era of crop pollination by hand began in some areas of China some time ago. Aquatic and terrestrial insect populations overall have plummeted. Bird and amphibian populations are dropping in turn.

272This is a matter of total toxic load, but also some aspects of specific toxicity. Radiofrequency transmissions are one such very specific toxin for insects.
273
274When it comes right down to it, when in human history have we ever had massive, near omnipresent contamination with a lethal toxin, that could all be cleaned up with the mere press of a button. The flip of a switch. Cutting the power to these towers. That is literally the ideal case, but if we keep accepting the current direction of embedding this more and more into common infrastructure, where is it leading? What is it all even for? If we can't even alter our course at this level, something as simple as saying no to having an RF emitter in our everything and anything (as the "Internet of Things" (IoT) would have), can we really think anything we may think we do, matters one bit in any of the world's other problems? There's a lot of noise that goes on and fills the media, but at the end of it, many of these shades of gray are illusory. If we don't make a choice, it will be made for us, and there are very few possible outcomes (that we'd want). We just need to start doing what makes sense. If death is what makes sense, there's not too much to be said.

Perhaps this was in their flight path or routine, and they ultimately came to the outskirts to die. I'll continue to monitor this, but thus far no poison or pathogen has been put forward to explain these occurrences. The stories just pass right by, given lip service, and then they're gone.

328Government Projects:
329-EMF RAPID
330
331-National Toxicology Project (NTP), United States
332 The 20 year, 30 million dollar study revealed higher rates of two types of cancer, and clear evidence of DNA damage.
333 https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/results/areas/cellphones/index.html
334 Their paper on DNA damage:
335 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/em.22343
336 "The National Toxicology Program tested two common radiofrequency radiation (RFR) modulations emitted by cellular telephones in a 20 year rodent cancer bioassay that included interim assessments of additional animals for genotoxicity endpoints.
337 [...]
338 Results of the comet assay showed significant increases in DNA damage in the frontal cortex of male mice (both modulations), leukocytes of female mice (CDMA only), and hippocampus of male rats (CDMA only). Increases in DNA damage judged to be equivocal were observed in several other tissues of rats and mice. No significant increases in micronucleated red blood cells were observed in rats or mice. In conclusion, these results suggest that exposure to RFR is associated with an increase in DNA damage."
339 The NTP results spurred the same go-to responses and damage control strategies used since the mid 90's. Many of which closely resemble the secondhand smoke era, this is because telecom began working with the same PR firms that handled things for big tobacco, such as Philip Morris. Like a broken record, the goal ia to "tread water" in the public eye, ideally long enough for maximum uptake and integration. Always something happening, yet nothing ever getting anywhere.
340 https://ehtrust.org/science/myth-vs-fact-national-toxicology-program-cell-phone-cancer-study/
341
342 There are some other interesting things to consider.
343 The exposure apparatus was designed with the help of IT'IS.
344 https://itis.swiss/who-we-are/
345 https://itis.swiss/who-we-are/funding/
346 It used a reverberation chamber with an H-polarized EM source and rotating stirrers to maximize field uniformity (homogeneity and isotropy) in the chamber and within the animal, and to cycle the chamber through different modes. This is not the most realistic exposure scenario, but more importantly is this a meaningful sort of "dose" control? Effects can be based on non-uniform exposure (affecting / straining adaptive mechanisms), people can spend long periods with the same position and orientation in the field (sleeping, sitting, carrying in a pocket), in real world environments we're exposed to multiple signals at any given time. Though a clear effect emerged, the effects of real world exposures may be worse than portrayed.

360 Some other connections:
361 Their observation of a reduction in weight with in utero exposure is somewhat common, and dates at least as far back as Soviet research done in the 50's and 60's. It was found the first generation was either small with delayed development, or was prone to obesity for one generation, with their offspring then following the same pattern. Another line of research converged with this later. They also separated an animal's response to repeated irradiation into two types, strong and weak (labile). The strong animal was more stable and soon returned to baseline, the labile animal was "phasic" having periodic highs and lows. Animals over time had their higher nervous function depressed, so one could assume eventually there is a drop below baseline. One avenue to explain these differences was to compare the finer organization of an individual animal's tissues. When classed as high or low entropy, some correlations in effect on body weight were found.

365 Exposed mice had a longer lifespan than controls. This was also seen in the early research, it often diminishes with successive generations. Magras and Xenos (see Reproductive Effects) also found the first generation was apparently healthy, but population level infertility still hit soon after.

385France has gradually begun to take certain half measures. Though I'm as critical of them as a country that does nothing, at least for some, things are now moving in the right direction.

387https://ehtrust.org/france-new-national-law-bans-wifi-nursery-school/
388Various issues remain unaddressed:
389 -Other sources are not taken into account. Towers, bluetooth, phones, dirty electricity, etc.
390 -The child will likely still be exposed in the home.
391 -The child will be exposed everywhere else including on the way to and from school.
392 -Wi-Fi should not and need not be used. Everything can be done wired (via ethernet).
393 -The ages of 3 and 11 are biologically arbitrary.

397The same issues remain unaddressed:
398 -Involuntary exposure to emissions from towers themselves
399 -Involuntary and cumulative intermittent exposures from other users
400 -Inherent lack of safety of the characteristics of the signal itself
401 -Omissions, lack of scientific basis to assert these personal measures will prevent health effects:
402 -No mention of airplane mode.
403 -A "hands free kit":
404 -Doesn't prevent the phone from being carried against the body when not in use.
405 -The wires from headphones can be a conductive lead.
406 -The phone can't be kept far enough away to be safe, and still be used. "Air tube" headsets fall under this as well.
407 -May provide the illusion of protection.
408 -Texting is suggested to be more safe. The rationale is probably less emissions and a less complex signal, but the phone is still held as close to the body for longer, more exposure to blue light from the screen, etc.
409 -Effective and feasible near term alternatives, such as directional antennas, shielded phones, etc, are not posited.
410 -SAR (specific absorption rate) is presented as a direct measure of biological effects.
411 -The literature doesn't support this.
412 -This would lead someone to assume a low SAR phone is safer, this is not the case.
413 -Dose response is known to be complex and nonlinear in most dimensions (Power density, frequency, exposure duration, etc).
414 -Despite this there are clear overarching patterns which show modulation, rise time, polarization, are a good predictor of effects. The character of the signal.
415 -Testing more stringently for conformance to an invalid standard cannot afford protection.
416That we've dug ourselves in pretty deep, and that you have to start somewhere, doesn't change that these are distinctions without a difference. Waffling. It is like a Roman building public consciousness about lead dust as a sweetener by saying "Hey maybe you ought to cut back on that a bit..." At what cost can you refuse to just call a spade a spade.

433-A brief timeline and historical summary
434Study of the effects of non-ionizing radiation on biological systems began as early as the 1880's in the West. There was initially more of a focus on medical application. Investigation in Russia had begun as early as 1915.
435 [m]Cook 1980 - Early Research on the Biological Effects of Microwave Radiation 1940-1960
436 "2. Background, 1885-1940: early work on short-waves and therapy
437 Interest among researchers in the effect of electricity on biological systems arose almost as soon as electricity could be generated in a controlled form. This same interest rapidly shifted to research on the biological effects of electromagnetic radiation when, during the years 1885-1889, Heinrich Rudolf Hertz demonstrated a technique for propagating electromagnetic energy through space. Typical of this shift is the Parisian scientist, Arsene d'Arsonval. Prior to the late 1880s, d'Arsonval had devoted considerable time to the investigation of the physiological effects of electrocution. Shortly after learning about the new Hertzian apparatus, d'Arsonval developed his own equipment, which produced 10^4 - 10^5 cm waves at power levels nearing 20 amp, and turned his attention to its possible physiological and medical uses. By 1893, he was publishing papers on the influence of radio waves on cells."

439 Discusses early medical uses, condenser therapy, etc.

441 Page 140: Dodge - CLINICAL AND HYGIENIC ASPECTS OF EXPOSURE TO ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS (A Review of the Soviet and Eastern European Literature)
442 "As early as 1933, certain Soviet scientists had already recognized that electromagnetic fields affected the human nervous system. In 1937, Turlygin published one of the first comprehensive Soviet accounts of the effects of centimeter waves on the human central nervous system. He found that CNS excitability was increased by 100% of the control level when a crude spark oscillator in the vicinity of the head of a subject was switched on. In a lengthy review article, Livshits cited no fewer than 28 Soviet publications on the general subject of clinical and biological microwave effects which had been published by the end of the 1930's.
443
444 During the 1940's and early 1950's, there was an understandable lull in research on this subject due to World War II. By the middle and late 1950's, there appeared a veritable deluge of Soviet literature dealing, in the main, with the clinical and hygienic aspects of microwave exposure which has continued unabated to this day. By the early 1960's, the Eastern European countries of Czechoslovakia and Poland had also become extremely active in the area of microwave exposure effects."
445 [m][Symposium, Warsaw] 1973 - Biologic Effects and Health Hazards of Microwave Radiation
446 Page 22: Gordon - Main directions and results of research conducted in the USSR on the biologic effects of microwaves
447 "Without dwelling upon the clinical direction of research, to which a separate paper by Dr. M. N. Sadcikova is devoted, we will only note that clinico-hygienic correlations made it possible to link the clinical indicators with intensity of microwave irradiation under industrial conditions. This unique material accumulated as a result of 20 years' observations made it possible to establish a very important fact, namely, that the biologic effects become more severe with increasing duration of work accompanied by irradiation of low intensities (less than l mW/cm^2).
448 [...]
449 Upon cessation of irradiation some of its sequelae may disappear but a prolonged action results in destructive, irreversible pathologic lesions."
450"It seems that we knew more about microwaves in the 80's than we do today."
451-Magda Havas, PhD
452
453Although there were known patterns and some theoretical work had been done, results were often reported as phenomena with a lack of readily testable low level mechanisms. The "thermal vs athermal" debate recurred periodically, and stretches back to at least the 1920's. Athermal effects were once commonly called "specific effects". Modern day, specific effects could be further divided into two categories, direct and indirect. Direct effects are physical mechanisms by which a structure is acted upon. Indirect effects are downstream of those actions, and are a matter of biological signal transduction and damping or amplification. An important example being triggering calcium influx, an ubiquitous signaling mechanism. It is covered below and very likely the primary underlying mechanism behind many of the effects reported over the decades.
454
455Even if there really was no known mechanism, as industry has asserted for decades (ignoring all data and repeating "no known plausible biological mechanism"), you don't need to know the mechanism by which something occurs to see that it does. Even reading this sentence is proof.

556“In almost any other type of environmental exposures, if the evidence were as strong as the association between EMFs and cancer, there would be extensive government regulation.

Carpenter, 1995

558Adey 1990 - Joint actions of environmental nonionizing electromagnetic fields and chemical pollution in cancer promotion.
559https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1567752/
560 "To pursue these problems in the environment and in the laboratory, our needs for further research with appropriate budgets are great. We recognize the importance of studies that address the effects of long-term, recurrent, intermittent exposures to environmental electromagnetic fields, which is an area where simplistic concepts of cumulative dose effects do not apply. These epidemiologic and laboratory studies emphasize the growing impact of environmental chemical pollution and the rapidly increasing deployment of an almost infinite variety of environmental electromagnetic fields as possible joint factors in cancer promotion. As we move towards the twenty-first century, elucidation of mechanisms underlying these interactions at the cellular and molecular level will become matters of urgency. At the same time, implementation of public policies that would mitigate risks from these exposures may impact heavily on existing industrial practices and on important aspects of environmental planning in housing and urban development. At this stage, it is of paramount importance that the significance of these issues no longer be ignored.
561 [...]
562 Do these EM fields constitute a health hazard? Based on available epidemiological data and laboratory studies, it has become increasingly clear that these fields acting either alone or in conjunction with chemicals that occur as environmental pollutants may constitute a potential health hazard. Much has been accomplished in the past decade in establishing a firm base of new knowledge, despite a grave and growing lack of research funds and also entrenched and often self-serving attitudes among influential groups who have denied the possibility of adverse effects, based simply on their a priori positions."
563
564And now here we are 30 years later, we've been dug in even further, have failed to institute responsible public policies, and the situation has worsened many fold. There should be a public demand that efforts be made to make these devices demonstrably safe. On the part of industry, at this point the liability and potential backlash is so incomprehensibly massive that any publically disclosed or implied R&D which implicitly admits to a lack of safety, would have to be an unacceptable risk. There's more than enough evidence to demonstrate that it was known, by many parties, that their products were unsafe long ago (eg Motorola in the mid 90's). If you consider the device manufacturers, chipset design, foundries with multiyear fabication contracts, shipment, the mining and refinement of materials, for all kinds of devices, you have a massive multitrillion dollar international industrial complex that will have various (generally similar) reactions to growing risk, PR, and retroactive liability. Samsung alone is something like 1/5 of South Korea's total economy. It's all tied together.
565
566Interestingly the USSR's laws concerning retroactive liability may be what allowed them to avoid being locked into this type of mess when making their standards in the mid 1950's. Would need someone with knowledge of Soviet law and history to go further into this.

574Autism:
575Timothy Syndrome is a polymorphism of the gene that encodes the calcium channel and causes calcium channels to be overactive, leading to chronically elevated intracellular calcium and aberrant calcium signalling. Being genetic, this is occurring during prenatal development as well. Pulsed microwaves have a similar effect (described above).

589Medical uses like short wave analgesia had been known since ~1910. In Russia, 1937, Turlygin published a comprehensive report of neurological changes in a subject exposed to a spark gap oscillator. This spawned a great deal of interest and extensive research which remained active until the dissolution of the USSR.

621 The issue with term electrohypersensitivity is that while a given condition may be due to an increased sensitivity, it may also be due to a gradual exhaustion then failure of adaptive and compensatory mechanisms, as Soviet researchers found. There are separate, overlapping, causal lines which can be separated into three primary components:
622
623 -Inherent sensitivity of the system to an action upon it (transduction)
624 -Biological amplification
625 -Biological adaptation and damping
626
627 The name has an embedded assertion which gives the false impression that "some people are just more sensitive" and therefore they alone will suffer negative effects. That's not the case. Studies done on cells in culture, comparing response of people diagnosed EHS and controls found by nearly all tested metrics they responded the same way. Studies done in vivo with humans who didn't report EHS showed DNA damage after mobile phone exposure. This means EHS is a higher, system level failure, and degree of sensitivity is a product of tissue organization, total toxic load, a sensitization process, and other individual factors. Everyone is accumulating damage in the background, some will have just more overt and crippling subjective symptoms while it happens.
628
629 Going forward I would say EHS should either be merged into microwave sickness, or they should each be considered as subsets under the same clinical umbrella.

638 "These observational studies raise the question of whether they represent merely isolated peculiarities of nature or whether they point towards some fundamental property of nervous systems that extends throughout the animal kingdom, including man.
639
640 In 1969 we began a long series of studies, Gavalas, Walter, Hamer and Adey, Gavalas Medici and Day-Magdaleno, aimed at exploring the possible effects of weak ELF fields on behavior of monkeys in the laboratory. It seemed obvious, at the outset, that low frequency fields at levels of 1-100 V/m p-p, were not likely to produce dramatic, sudden onset, behavioral changes. (Fields at those levels are routinely encountered in the home around 60 Hz devices.) It was taken as a challenge to find a (1) highly sensitive but reliable behavioral assay that could, in principal, (2) detect thresholds and would allow (3) long exposure durations."

657Standards:
658Overview of ELF and RF exposure safety standards in various countries. The USSR had the first standard of 10uW/cm2 for occupational exposure during a workday, 1958. Poland and Czechoslovakia followed with similar standards. the US later followed with a thermal-based guideline of 10mW/cm2, time averaged over 6 minutes. A difference of at least 1000x. This received a lot of attention. Later symposiums like the one held in Warsaw sponsored by WHO, Poland, and the US, bridged some of the eastern and western observations. Soviet researchers described the syndrome they called "microwave sickness", other aspects were discussed.

661Under the WHO a program including replication of the studies used as a basis for the Soviet standard was undertaken, using modern methods. The RNCNIRP provided its report in 2008, corroborating previous results.
662 CHILDREN AND MOBILE PHONES: THE HEALTH OF THE FOLLOWING GENERATIONS IS IN DANGER:
663 "According to the opinion of the Russian National Committee on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection, the following health hazards are likely to be faced by the children mobile phone users in the nearest future: disruption of memory, decline of attention, diminishing learning and cognitive abilities, increased irritability, sleep problems, increase in sensitivity to the stress, increased epileptic readiness.
664
665 Expected (possible) remote health risks: brain tumors, tumors of acoustical and vestibular nerves (in the age of 25-30 years), Alzheimer’s disease, “got dementia”, depressive syndrome, and the other types of degeneration of the nervous structures of the brain (in the age of 50 to 60)."

667
668
669Modern day China and other Asian countries have only slightly stricter standards than Russia. Use of low intensity pulsed microwaves is seemingly common in their biological research when the intent is to induce DNA damage or oxidative stress in an animal (eg in testing protective activity of traditional herbs), as well as to induce diabetes. Pregnant women often wear RF reflecting clothing, though Western and USSR research indicated various difficulties in wearable (eg clothing, meshes) protection for general purpose use. In some exposure scenarios they can actually be a net detriment, and that's in industrial and military contexts. Say nothing of general purpose use in modern civilian environments. Indicates a difference in cultural consciousness, regardless.

681 "It turned out that five of the six members of the Core Group in charge of the draft are affiliated with International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), an industry loyal NGO, and thus have a serious conflict of interest. Just as by ICNIRP, evaluation of non-thermal biological effects from RF radiation are dismissed as scientific evidence of adverse health effects in the Monograph. This has provoked many comments sent to the WHO. However, at a meeting on March 3, 2017 at the WHO Geneva office it was stated that the WHO has no intention to change the Core Group.

683 Almost all RF radiation was below 30 µW/m2, the LOEL of RF radiation for possible health risks as shown with the horizontal line. The highest peak level, 432.3 µW/m2, was measured at 15:54:07.

695Overall the direction of WHO's position has remained the same since the 1981 EHC. Citing mostly continuous wave exposure and short term studies in many sections, key data has been omitted. Effects of modulation, athermal effects, and polarization are acknowledged shortly but dismissed as non-evaluatable, despite being the most relevant aspect for exposures of the general population. Modern data has only further confirmed most of the observations which began in now 70 year old animal and human occupational studies.

710How we got here:
711Starting in the late 1800's there were attempts at medical use. There was action against magnetic healing, "energy medicine", etc by the forming medical-chemical complex of the 1920's in the US, partly via control of funding during the depression, and other factors. Particularly the AMA and the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. Electromedicine actually started with people like Tesla and d'Arsonval. Its relationship to research in this period is variable, and somewhat complex.
712
713Later, shifting funding and focuses. Initial medical interest in fever therapy, microwave diathermy, treatment of nerve pain and psychiatric disorders (as shortwave or condenser therapy), and cancer treatment. Later focus polarized to hazards of radar.
714 [m]Cook 1980 - Early Research on the Biological Effects of Microwave Radiation 1940-1960
715 [m][Ford] Bergman 1965 - The Effect of Micro Waves on The Central Nervous System
716There is a contrast with the Russian and Eastern European view that EMFs (and their "information" content) could be viewed as drugs, and goes back to the origins of "biophotons" and "mitogenic radiation" / biophotonics with the observation by Alexander Gurwitsch that cells emit highly coherent bursts of UV and IR, which affect other cells. Kirlian photography, ESP research, proximity to both Asia and Europe, and other historical aspects probably relate. Millimeter wave and magnetic field therapies are still used in Eastern Europe, selectively and deliberately as a treatment modality, with some active R&D. Papers are being published on certain devices, but I don't know how widely they're used. Magnetic therapies arose in ancient China with the discovery of lodestone, greatly predate acupuncture, and possibly even the more formalized Chinese model of body systems and herbalism.

730 "If the more·advanced nations of the West are strict in the enforcement of stringent exposure standards, there could be unfavorable effects on industrial output and military functions. The Eurasian Communist countries cou1d, on the other hand, give 1ip service to strict standards, but allow their military to operate without restriction and thereby gain the advantage in electronic warfare techniques and the development of antipersonnel applications.
731
732 The potential for the development of a number of antipersonnel applications is suggested by the research published in the USSR, East Europe, and the West. Sounds and possibly even words which appear to be originating intracranially can be induced by signal modulation at very low average power densities.
733
734 Combinations of frequencies and other signal characteristics to produce other neurological effects may be feasible in several years. The possibility of inducing metabolic diseases is also suggested. Animal experiments reported in the open literature have demonstrated the use of low-level microwave signals to produce death by heart seizure or by neurological pathologies resulting from breaching of the blood-brain barrier."

840History of electromagnetic weapons
841
842---World War 2
843Ku-Go
844The Japanese sought to create Tesla's "Death Ray" but ultimately settled on a high intensity microwave weapon.
845 https://www.warhistoryonline.com/instant-articles/ku-go-japans-top-secret-weapon.html
846
847Germany's achievements in early RF communication are well documented particularly for the purpose of broadcasting the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. Biological research of various kinds had been undertaken at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute long before this. It's often stated that microwave weapons were used first as a hidden emitter mounted under a desk where people would be called in and sat down for some cover business, then their genitals covertly irradiated (often asserted to be x-rays). And later, to weaken and sterilize in the camps. So far this is hard to primary source and the entire WW2 period is essentially a blank spot in the literature, afterward when things resumed it was as though most had forgotten the bulk of what was known. Through operation Paperclip we likely gained a lot of what they developed.
848
849From "The Body Electric: Electromagnetism and the Foundation of Life" by Robert O. Becker and Gary Selden, 1985 : Page 315
850 "The Soviet standards were set well before the dangers were this clear, however. The comparison is instructive. At a 1969 international symposium on microwaves in Richmond, Virginia, Dr. Karel Marha of Prague's Institute of Industrial Hygiene defended his findings on birth defects and recommended that the Eastern European standard be adopted in the West. Replying to objections that the dire predictions hadn't been proven beyond doubt, he said: "Our standard os not only to prevent damage but to avoid discomfort in people."
851
852 Apparently this concern doesn't include Americans, for the Soviets have been bombarding our embassy in Moscow with microwaves for some thirty years. In 1952, at the height of the Cold War, there was a secret meeting at the Sandia Corporation in New Mexico between U.S. and U.S.S.R. scientists, allegedly to exchange information on biological hazards and safety levels. It seems the exchange wasn't completely reciprocal, or perhaps the Americans didn't take seriously what the Russians told them; there have been other joint "workshops" since then, and each time the Soviets have sent people who publicly acknowledged the risks, while the American delegates have always been "no-effect" men. At any rate, soon after the Sandia meeting, the Soviets began beaming microwaves at the U.S. embassy from across Tchaikovsky Street, always staying well within the Schwan limit. In effect, they've been using embassy employees as test subjects for low-level EMR experiments.
853
854 The strange thing is that Washington has gone along with it. The "Moscow Signal" was apparently first discovered about 1962, when the CIA is known to have sought consultation about it. The agency asked Milton Zaret for information about microwave dangers in that year, and then hired him in 1965 for advice and research in a secret evaluation of the signal, called Project Pandora. Nothing was publicly revealed until 1972, when Jack Anderson broke the story, and the U.S. government told its citizens nothing until 1976, in response to further news stories in the Boston Globe. According to various sources, the Russians shut off their transmitter in 1978 or 1979, but then resumed the irradiation for several months in 1983."

856I would recommend this book and the chapter "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" in particular for a lot of history, which is now becoming more relevant than ever.

867From "The Microwave Debate" by Nicholas Steneck, 1984 : Page 92
868 "This is an issue that involves some rather sensitive intelligence matters and, therefore, we have been reluctant to discuss it publicly while we are attempting to safeguard the health of our employees-a matter which we have substantially done-and while we are trying to negotiate a solution to this difficulty. If these negotiations should prove impossible to conclude, we will then of course have to be more explicit in our explanations. But while these negotiations are going on, I would prefer not to go further than to say ... that our principal concern is the health and safety of our employees."
869 -Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, on the Moscow embassy crisis, March 6, 1976
870 "With the termination of the Tri-Service Program the pace of RF bioeffects research in the United States declined. Some research did continue after the program ended, primarily under navy sponsorship; papers were published on potential hazards; and ANSI's standard committee drew up RF exposure guidelines by late 1966. But compared to events of the late 1950s the level of public activity declined noticeably in the 1960s. With the standards problem apparently solved, there was no urgency for continuing high-level support for RF bioeffects research. Behind this quiet facade, however, a new concern was growing as a result of the discovery that a beam of low-intensity microwave radiation was directed at the U.S. embassy in Moscow.
871
872 The origins of radiation problems in Moscow go back to 1952 when the U.S. embassy was moved from a site near the Kremlin to a newly renovated apartment building several miles away. Shortly after the move routine radiation checks turned up unexpected readings. One sweep made in advance of VicePresident Richard Nixon's trip to the Soviet Union in 195993 The Moscow Embassy Crisis discovered high ionizing radiation levels in sections of the ambassador's apartments, including one of the rooms where Nixon was scheduled to sleep. Similar checks for nonionizing radiation conducted as early as 1953 detected the presence of a microwave signal apparently beamed at the embassy from a nearby building.
873
874 The Moscow signal, as it came to be known, at first did not appear on a regular enough basis to cause concern. But over time it became more constant. The State Department responded to this situation by shipping electronic equipment to Moscow to monitor the signal. The figures on power, frequency, and modulation collected during the early 1960s left little doubt that the Moscow signal was a carefully manufactured beam of radiation aimed at the embassy and its personnel. This much was obvious. What was not obvious was the reason the Soviets were beaming the signal. To find out, the State Department, with the help of the military, initiated a new and classified research project on low-level RF bioeffects."
875
876That project would be named Pandora.

892 "MEMORANDUM FOR DR. BROWN, DR. FUBINI
893 SUBJECT: ARPA and Moscow Embassy Radiation
894
895 In the advanced sensor program, ARPA is entertaining proposals to investigate possible clinical effects, primarily neurological, of continuous microwave radiation with either CW or pulsed wave forms.
896
897 The CIA and a special USIB Subcommittee have become interested in this problem for the following reason. The radiation intensity on our Moscow Embassy exceeds, by a factor of about 100, the safety level specified in Soviet microwave specification standards. These Soviet standards are considerably more stringent than ours. Specifically, the Soviet standards are: to not exceed 10 microwatts continuously and, in no case, to exceed l milliwatt for even very short periods of time.
898
899 I understand that the average radiation intensity inside the windows of our Moscow Embassy is on the order of l milliwatt. Consequently, a considerable amount of interest has been generated by the CIA and by the USIB in reviewing existing data in this field, which is very scanty at these radiation levels, even though the possibility that the radiation is intended to produce neurological effects on embassy personnel is probably relatively low. On the other hand, since we have no real idea of what the radiation is intended for, it has been the feeling, in the USIB and the CIA, that this possibility should not go unexplored. Unfortunately, there is some past unsavory history of experiments of this kind in this country which has made a number of people rather leery of further experiments in this field, and which has resulted in the setting of standards of safety which are approximately 1,000 times looser in this country than in the Soviet Union, with our standards being set primarily by thermal damage thresholds. Effort has been going on by the Director of Clinical Research, Neurology, in NIH on lower level radiation to see if neurological effects can be detected but, even in this case, the effort has not been apparently officially sanctioned as a NIH project because of the circumstances noted earlier.
900
901 ARPA now has some proposals to conduct meaningful experiments in this range in which the intent would ultimately be to experiment not only with the average intensity of the Moscow radiation but also with a close simulation of the wave forms used. However, there seems to be some internal resistance in ARPA to the suggestion that ARPA proceed with these experiments, probably because there is a feeling that at one time it certainly attracted a number of crack pots. The proposal which makes considerable sense now is a proposal to use Air Force primates as subjects in a carefully controlled series of experiments, with the intent being to detect neurological or synergistic effects. My feeling is that we should carry through these experiments, if these can be accomplished at reasonable cost, because of the following considerations:
902
903 a. There is definite USIB and CIA interest in this proposition, and I believe that a USIB recommendation that such research be carried on can, or will, be generated.
904 b. The existing U.S. experience in this particular energy range does not seem to be very satisfactory in quality of research.
905 c. The pragmatic fact ·exists that the Soviet Union is irradiating our embassy in Moscow with radiation which exceeds by a factor of 100 their own safety standards, and which would give us a lever for protest if we wished.
906 d. Unless, and until, other explanations are found for the purposes of the Embassy radiation, this should not be left an unexplored possibility.
907
908 For these reasons, I believe that ARPA should be encouraged to do this research as part of the advanced sensor program under the assumption that a reasonably contained, high quality, and not unduly expensive program can be formulated, I do not think that the past history of this particular subject, which apparently makes many people suspicious about the scientific content of such experiments, should be allowed to impede a sound research program in this area, for the reasons mentioned earlier.

913 "SUBJECT: Justification Memorandum for Project PANDORA
914 The purpose of this memorandum is to explain some of the background requirements and justification for the ARPA Program Plan 562 relating to Project PANDORA.
915
916 Background. For several years it has been noted that the American Embassy in Moscow has been radiated with low level electromagnetic signals on a more or less continuous basis. These emitting signals, in the "S" and "L" band spectrum, have been of complex modulation with seemingly random variations.
917
918 The White House has directed through USIB that intensive investigative research be conducted within the State Department, CIA and DOD to attempt to determine what the actual threat is and stop it. The National program has been coordinated by the State Department under code name project "TUMS," ARPA is represented and has been requested to initiate a selective portion of the overall program concerned with one of the potential threats, that of radiation effects on man.
919
920 Discussion. A program has been outlined to irradiate a group of primates under carefully controlled conditions simulating the dosages and complex modulation of the threat. This effort is known as Project PANDORA. The trained primates will be carefully observed under varying and controlled irradiated conditions in an attempt to determine if any changes in their behavior or physiological condition can be detected. This effort will be carried out on behalf of ARPA by the following organizations.
921
922 1. The Air Force will select, procure, and monitor the electromagnetic generating equipment and control the environment thus produced. An initial study of equipment was made under ARPA Order #757. They will integrate above resources into a system and provide an aerospace medical doctor to assist the other medical team members in the test program.
923
924 2. The Applied Physics Laboratory will provide scientific consulting services and technical assistance in the design and fabrication of the laboratory, its electromagnetic environment and test facilities pertaining thereto.
925
926 3. The Walter Reed Army Institute of Research will provide laboratory quarters, primates, biological monitoring and data reduction capabilities.
927
928 4. In addition, Mr. Mark Groves, of the Wright Patterson Avionics Laboratory will act as ARPA monitor and coordinator for this project. Additionally, other consultants which will be utilized include Drs. Nat Baldwin, NIH; Ross Adey, UCLA; Milton Zaret, Zaret Foundation; J. Johnson, CIA; and H. Pollack, IDA.
929
930 Recommended Action. It is recommended that ARPA initiate the required ARPA Orders as covered in the Program Plan attached. This memorandum, being of a sensitive nature, will be retained in the Office of Advanced Sensors and act as justification in depth for above referenced future Program Plan and ARPA Order."

935 SUBJECT: Project PANDORA - Initial Test Results
936
937 I. BACKGROUND
938 In excess of five years, the American Embassy in Moscow has been radiated with low level electromagnetic Signals (the Moscow Signal) on a more or less continuous basis, These signals, in the "S" and "L" band spectrum, have been of complex modulation with seemingly random variations.
939
940 The White House has directed, through USIB, that intensive investigative research be conducted within the State Department, CIA and DOD to attempt to determine what the actual threat is and stop it. The National Program has been coordinated by the State Department, under code name, "TUMS." ARPA is represented and is conducting research on a selective portion of the overall program concerned with one of the potential threats, that of the effects of low level electromagnetic radiation on man. This memorandum summarizes the initial test results obtained from this program called PANDORA. The extremely sensitive nature of the results obtained to date, and their impact on National Security, has resulted in establishing a special access category for all data results and analysis, under code name "BIZARRE." The code name is unclassified. Results can only be discussed with or conveyed to individuals cleared for this special access through Mr. Daniel J. Sullivan, ARPA.
941
942 II. SUMMARY
943 The most important results obtained to date, after 28 days (not continuous) of radiation of a primate at 5 milliwatts/cm2 with a simulated Moscow Signal, have been two repetitive, complete slowdowns and stoppages of the monkey in carrying out his test work functions. The monkey works lO hrs/day, 7 days/week. At stoppage, the data strongly suggests the monkey went into deep sleep. The second breakdown occurred sooner than the first, indicating that pre-stressing due to the radiation environment had occurred. There is no question that penetration of the central nervous system has been achieved; either directly or indirectly into that portion of the brain concerned with the changes in the work functions and the effects observed.
944
945 Events leading to these breakdowns were as follows: On the 12th day of radiation (10 hrs/day), a definite slowdown was recorded in the monkey's ability to time his work functions, On the 13th day of radiation, the monkey further degraded and finally stopped working. For the next two days of radiation, the monkey's condition remained unchanged - complete stoppage - at which time the radiation was terminated. Three days later (without radiation) the monkey returned to normal operation in his work functions. For five additional days (without radiation) the monkey maintained a normal work pattern. Radiation was turned on after this period and after eight days of radiation slowdown in work functions was again recorded. On the 10th day of radiation, complete stoppage occurred. The stoppage continued for the next three days at which time radiation was terminated. The next two days of recordings, up to 15 December 1966, reveal the monkey had not returned to normal.
946
947 At all times when the monkey ceased to respond, the measured deep core temperature dropped 1.2 to l.5°F from normal with a latency of 30 to 60 minutes. It stayed at this level for the remainder of the 10 hr/day. This data and direct observations on a TV monitor strongly suggest the monkey was in deep sleep.
948
949 III. DETAILED TECHNICAL DISCUSSION
950 A. Signal
951 1. The radiation intensity on our Moscow Embassy exceeds, by a factor of about 100, the safety level specified in Soviet microwave specification standards; specifically, 10 microwatts/cm2 - not to exceed l mlliwatt/cm2 for short periods of time (15-20 minutes). The average steady level within the Moscow Embassy has been measured at values in excess of l milliwatt/cm2. The U.S. safety standard is 10 milliwatts/cm2. Large amounts of Soviet technical literature discuss non-thermal neurophysiological and neuro-circulatory effects of microwave radiation at levels below the U.S. accepted standard of 10 milliwatts/cm. There has been essentially no U.S. data covering this Soviet area of investigation."

1011Some thoughts on reducing health effects:
1012
1013To my knowledge there is no feasible way to eliminate effects other than eliminating exposure, you can only attenuate the damage. Effects which are strictly "physical", and cause effects without any need for downstream amplification by a cell's own machinery, cannot be blocked at all. This technology is incompatible with life. It is anti-life.
1014
1015
1016Self. You can either:
1017 -Attempt to normalize the pathological calcium flux to where it's back in a reasonable range. This isn't really feasible in general or long term, calcium flux is needed and blocking it will have side effects. Opioid antagnonists like naloxone, probably naltrexone, etc will block some effects. Action on opioid systems is downstream of activation of corticotropin releasing factor, a common stress response. Downstream of the opioid response there are strong cholinergoic system effects.
1018 -Either bolster levels of, or reduce the load on endogenous antioxidant and free radical management systems. This would be with other compounds and removing anything that's compromising and contributing load to those systems, like heavy metals. Anything that increases the levels of glutathione (GSH) and the other enzymes, glutathione peroxidase / reductase (GPx, GSR), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) will help with this. Good gut flora and a high quality diet is beneficial.
1019
1020"Supplements" (nutrients, minerals, etc):
1021-N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC)
1022 600 - 1800 mg/day. Bioavailable form of cysteine, which along with glutamate is a precursor to glutathione, a primary endogenous antioxidant, chelator, etc. Cysteine is generally the rate limiting element in its production. It also is required for the synthesis of metallothioneins, which are ramped up in response to cellular stress.
1023 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutathione
1024 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallothionein
1025
1026-Vitamin C
1027 Antioxidant, heavy metal chelator. Passed a threshold level scavenges NO, reconsitutes vitmain E and glutathione. Bulk L-ascorbate is fairly cheap, it can be made into sodium ascorbate by adding baking soda and water. It'll bubble for a moment as it reacts (pour slowly or use a large glass). This also makes it more readily soluble in water. Sodium ascorbate probably relies on an active sodium dependent transporter to cross the intestinal wall, and this machinery can be saturated (which along with the water attracting proeprties of sodium may be why this form of vitamin C causes watery stool more readily). Plain L-ascorbate crosses by passive diffusion, and is quite acidic. Large doses of ascorbate (>10 grams for several days) should be taken with minerals, ie magnesium, potassium, calcium, in citrate or chloride form. No silica or other junk.
1028-Vitamin E
1029 In the form of mixed tocopherols
1030-Methylated folate.
1031 Can't hurt. Benefits people with certain genetic factors who cannot methylate folate quickly.
1032-Acetyl-L-Carnitine
1033 Theoretically helpful.
1034
1035These are to support the glutathione system. Vitamin C is apparently a decent superoxide scavenger at a certain threshold cocnentration. Bypassing the superoxide dismutase->H2O2 pathway reduces demand on the catalase and glutathione system, and eliminates the potential for fenton reaction H2O2 -> hydroxyl radical generation. I don't know of any NO scavenger, some studies say that plant flavones do this, there's some evidence that theobromine (dark chocolate, tea, etc) works. Though it'd be ideal that managing the superoxide eliminates the peroxynitrite formation, there's reason to think this doesn't actually work with lower doses especially when they're at high concentrations.
1036
1037-Co-q10
1038 Mitochondrial support etc.
1039-Selenium
1040 For example a few brazil nuts per day. 3 - 6. You have superoxide dismutases dependent on copper, manganese, and selenium. Selenium is also good for thyroid and hormonal function.
1041-Omega 3's
1042 ALA from flax seed, though flax overall is estrogenic. DHA and EPA from fish. For these to be at all useful it's important that they are NOT oxidized, heated, rancid, etc. An omega 3 oil should not be "fermented" or heated, it should be cold pressed and refrigerated, some studies have shown regardless of what's on the lable, essentially all fish oils are rancid, have mercury, oxidized, etc. Flax oil in particular is not very stable, oxidizes quickly, and is best if fresh ground / pressed. Must be refrigerated.
1043-Calcium channel blockers
1044 Ginseng, lavender, various others. Phenibut. Ginseng is highly estrogenic, not considered a male herb for long term use. One case of gynecomastia in the literature.

1070 -Liver
1071 Oregon grape, milk thistle. Polygonum multiflorum.
1072 -Cardiovascular and brain
1073 Cacao
1074 I'm not sure about. Some ryanodine receptor action (causes the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum to dump its Ca2+ stores into the cytoplasm), increased NOS activity, and some other things might be very bad while being irradiated, despite all its flavonols, antioxidants, magnesium, etc. However theobromine is apparent a very good NO scavenger. It's hard to say how it nets out.
1075 -Caffeine and the other methylxanthines
1076 Pure caffeine is known to cause cells to release their internal Ca2+ store into the cytoplasm, possibly by a ryanodine receptor related mechanism. This may enhance microwave effects.
1077 [m]NATO - Page 95
1078 "An additional feature of caffeine and several other methylxanthines (theophylline and IBMX) which is important for investigations of [Ca2+]i signaling is their ability to activate Ca2+-gated Ca2+- release channels, thus inducing Ca2+ liberation from internal stores. The discovery of caffeine as a potent Ca2+ mobilizer from the internal stores came from investigations of caffeine-induced contractures in skeletal and cardiac muscle. This elevation persists in Ca2+-free extracellular solution, thus suggesting its origination from intracellular structures, cf.
1079 [...]
1080 The action of methylxanthines on [Ca2+]i is clearly intracellular and at millimolar drug concentrations [Ca2+]i elevation develops rapidly, indicating that methylxanthines are approaching their intracellular targets quite fast. [...] it has been shown that methylxanthines indeed freely penetrate cellular membrane and the intracellular caffeine concentration equilibrates with the external concentration with a time constant of about 8 sec.
1081 [...]
1082 Caffeine and other methylxanthines released Ca2+ from the internal stores in nerve cells in a concentration-dependent manner."
1083
1084-Synthetic compounds
1085 Phenibut is all that comes to mind, and has been studied in reducing brain damage during and after strokes. This validates some other data showing its primary high affinity target is a subunit of the calcium channel, with the GABA-B actually being a distant second. It hasn't been studied against RF directly.

I figure the gist of it is the tablets will ultimately watch, track, record, and listen to a child every second of their day, that data will be collated and fed into the creation of what may as well be called what it is, a cognitive and psychological profile, perhaps also sold to third parties, all while being essentially an industry giveaway at the taxpayer's expense. The superficial selling point being "individualized" (and AI driven) education.

1101 The effects and possibilities which come from training a person's mind to function in a strictly virtual environment, created and controlled by someone else, and their body to only interact with the equally controlled interface to that virtual space (and thus in many ways become the way to their own selves), are easily coercive and destructive. Even without the EMF exposure, children need to work with their own hands with real things for proper development, this is well established. They don't need to be in windowless rooms under fluorescent lights bouncing their every thought off of a screen like it's part of their body for hours at a time. This is not progress, nor an inevitable progress in the tools used for learning, it is devolution and dependency. In the same vein as what Jose Delgado, a prominent neuroscientist (and MKULTRA researcher (see eg subproject 91)), called the "robotocisation of man".

1103 I first played video games in early infancy with games like Tetris, Super Mario Bros 3, Duck Hunt etc on the NES. I had pretty decent exposure to wireless controllers on the Nintendo Gamecube. Looking back now I doubt it did me any favors, though they used the FCC unlicensed bands of ~900MHz and 2.4GHz, and transmitted information via frequency modulation (FSK). Back then there wasn't constant bidirectional communication with the receiver to remain synchronized, the controller only transmitted when a button was pressed. Modern game controllers entail constant sync'ing, are pulse modulated, are designed to transmit data, and have better batteries so they can afford a lot more emissions. A controller is apt to be held either to the chest and abdomen, or near the groin for long periods of time. They are more dangerous than ever, and rates of testicular cancer, infertility, and various digestive issues unfortunately will tell the tale well after the fact. Controllers should be wired, game consoles should be shielded or have their wifi turned off, systems which to an extent must be wireless like the Nintendo Wii and Switch could use something like Li-Fi (pulsed visible light, has its own class of biological problems) instead of bluetooth.

1109If usage will entail constant irradiation of the infant, in particular the reproductive organs and digestive system, this can be expected to essentially sterilize a child.

1123Infants and reproduction seem particularly targeted. The most vulnerable group is at risk of the most intense exposures.
