Safety of Wireless Technologies:
The Scientific View
Wireless technologies have proliferated since 1990. Until now, the impact of wireless technologies on society has been thought to be largely positive. Wireless technologies offer convenience and empower mobility while delivering wire-free access and instantaneous communications. More than 300 million Americans own at least one wireless device and tens of billions of wireless devices are now in use globally.
There is an extensive history of scientific inquiry into the biological effects and disease outcomes from low-level exposures to all types of electromagnetic radiation (EMR). The most significant science links microwave and radiofrequency radiation with more than 140 biological effects and dozens of seemingly unrelated diseases.
The U.S. Naval Medical Research Institute found 132 biological effects and diseases from Microwave Radiation in 1971. Beginning in the 1950’s, during the Korean War, there were consistent reports of health impacts from sailors, who worked closely with radar. A retrospective Veterans Administration report published in 1976 confirmed substantial increases in health impacts for Navy personnel exposed to wireless signals.
In 1971, the U.S. Navy reviewed the global science on microwave radiation from wireless signals. Lt. Colonel. Zorach Glaser, Ph.D. documented the global science in the meta-study, “Reported Biological Phenomena (Effects) and Clinical Manifestations Attributed to Microwave and Radio-Frequency Radiation”. Glaser found 2,311 studies that link low-intensity microwave signals and other EMR with biological impacts. The paper cites 132 different biological effects, symptoms and diseases associated with wireless exposures. The majority of studies examined microwave signals in the 1 to 4 gigahertz (GHz) range at low intensities. These types of wireless exposures are virtually identical with those from modern devices and wireless sources such as cell phones, WiFi, Bluetooth, smart meters, GPS, wearables, and wireless infrastructure.
A year before the 2012 BioInitiative Report was published, in 2011, the World Health Organization (WHO) warned: Microwave radiation from wireless can possibly cause cancer. In a press release on May 31st, the WHO and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified microwave and radiofrequency radiation from wireless technologies as a possible human carcinogen (Group 2B).
1990 marks the beginning of the current chronic disease health crisis in the U.S. This same year roughly correlates with the beginning of the wireless revolution. Statistics culled from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and PubMed are staggering. Between 1990 and 2015, in a population of 321 million, the number of instances of the 36 fastest-growing chronic diseases and medical conditions mushroomed beyond 704 million. In a single generation chronic, germless disease had exploded. Thirty-six diseases and chronic conditions all more than doubled.
Many of these diseases and conditions were relatively unknown until the 1990s. Now many are household names: ADHD, COPD, FMS (Fibromyalgia), MS (multiple sclerosis), IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), ED (erectile dysfunction) and BPD (bipolar disorder) to name a few.
Yet, despite the massive amount of evidence to the contrary, the media, federal agencies and the general public doggedly cling to the notion that wireless technologies are harmless (i.e., safe). Regulators have persistently claimed that science showing biological effects is “inconclusive.” Yet, no public figure or federal agency will offcially proclaim, “wireless technologies are safe.” Why? The key problem is that federal agencies like the FCC and FDA reject science that considers low intensity (non-thermal) biological effects of wireless and EMR. This means they refuse to recognize the studies we just discussed.
In one study, Dr. Martin Pall, Ph.D., identifies just such a common biological mechanism. Pall’s “Electromagnetic Fields Act Via Activation of Voltage-Gated Calcium Channels to Produce
Beneficial or Adverse Effects” outlines the process by which a bio-electrical mechanism enables wireless signals to activate systemic biological chaos and unleash disease.
Despite warnings from hundreds of scientists and thousands of studies, linking wireless and EMR to harmful biological effects and disease, the general public in the U.S. has not been sufficiently informed. Somehow, the actual science did not make its way through the tight nets of so many federal agencies.
The FCC, EPA and FDA have failed to warn us of the link between wireless radiation and our health. In 1971 the U.S. Navy already knew of the dangers of wireless radiation. They knew that these microwave signals were not safe for humans. They had enough data to create safer warships that protected sailors from stray radar signals. Thousands of scientists had tried to warn the rest of us, producing 2,311 studies, reviewed by Dr. Glaser, showing that low-level wireless radiation could disrupt our health in no less than 132 different ways. But the message never got through.
Of the 704 million reported incidences of the 36-fast growing disease in 2015, nearly 550 million were already associated with the biological factors listed in the 1971 U.S. Navy study. We already knew the dangers of wireless radiation.
Taken together, the research findings from NIH, the U.S. Navy, the Biolnitiative Report, and thousands of concerned scientists outline the following chain of causation: Wireless signals trigger oxidative/nitrative stress in humans. In particular, calcium ion messengers initiate the production of superoxide, peroxynitrite, and other free radicals. These agents not only disrupt biological homeostasis, but evidence points to them creating a lethal system of 7 synergistic biofactors that can both initiate and accelerate disease. This system of dysfunction we’ll call “P-Factor.” Peroxynitrite sits at the epicenter. It includes systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, autonomic dysfunction, epithelial dysfunction and nitrative stress. P-factor is shared by all 36 of the fastest-growing diseases in the US.
Is P-factor the smoking gun for the current U.S. chronic disease health crisis?
There is a huge elephant in the room. It is time to begin the honest dialogue on the potential hazards of wireless. We can continue to deny the science but we cannot avoid the tragic consequences of such denial.

Alarming growth of diseases since 1990 that coincide with technology usage
Yet, despite the massive amount of evidence to the contrary, the media, federal agencies and the general public doggedly cling to the notion that wireless technologies are harmless (i.e., safe).

Disease groups that have emerged since 1990
