If You’re Reading This, You Are the Resistance

Independent Voices RF Safe Jan 14, 2026

This RF Safe commentary frames readers as part of a “resistance” movement seeking changes to U.S. wireless policy and RF exposure governance. It argues that current FCC RF exposure rules and related laws constrain local decision-making and rely on a “thermal-only” safety framework that the author says is outdated. The post cites a WHO-commissioned 2025 systematic review on RF-EMF and cancer in experimental animals as part of a broader WHO review effort, and advocates shifting indoor connectivity toward light-based technologies.

U.S. policy on wireless technologies and public health protection: regulatory gaps and proposed reforms

Policy PubMed: RF-EMF health Jan 5, 2026

This PubMed-listed paper argues that the U.S. regulatory framework for radiofrequency radiation (RFR) from wireless technologies is outdated, lacks adequate oversight and enforcement, and has not been meaningfully updated since 1996. It contends that FCC exposure limits focus on short-term, high-intensity effects and do not address long-term, low-intensity exposures, with insufficient safeguards for children, pregnancy, and other vulnerable groups. The authors also discuss alleged regulatory capture, gaps in monitoring and compliance, and propose reforms including independent research, updated safety limits, and stronger pre- and post-market surveillance.

The Quiet Policy That Decides Whether Children Get Protected—or Preempted

Independent Voices RF Safe Jan 2, 2026

RF Safe argues that children’s everyday wireless exposure is primarily shaped by policy choices (laws, agency guidance, research mandates, and procurement practices) rather than by technology alone. The post promotes an “Act Now” hub that offers coordinated advocacy actions aimed at changing federal and local rules, increasing research and oversight, and shifting indoor connectivity toward alternatives such as Li‑Fi. It frames current governance as outdated and restrictive, particularly around local authority and federal agency accountability.

Effects of wireless local area network exposure on testicular morphology and VEGF levels

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2026

This rat study examined 2.45 GHz WLAN-like EMF exposure (3 V/m; SAR 0.00208 W/kg) for 1 hour/day over 60 days and assessed testicular morphology and VEGF-related markers. The abstract reports increased VEGFA gene expression and protein levels in exposed animals, with no change in HIF1A expression. It also reports multiple histological changes interpreted as testicular damage in the exposed group.

EMR Syndrome: How Fear Driven Ideology Is Undermining Real EMF Safety—and Hurting the People It Claims to Protect

Independent Voices RF Safe Dec 31, 2025

RF Safe argues that parts of the EMF safety community have adopted what it calls “EMR Syndrome,” described as a fear-driven, solution-resistant ideology rather than a medical condition. The piece distinguishes this concept from electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS), which it says warrants compassionate, mechanism-focused research and practical exposure-reduction strategies. It also contends that “Internet of Bodies” concerns are primarily about privacy, consent, and cybersecurity governance rather than EMF carrier waves, and suggests engineering approaches (e.g., optical wireless) as potential mitigations.

Rouleaux in Real Time: Ultrasound Evidence, Red Blood Cells, and the S4–Mito–Spin Mechanism

Independent Voices RF Safe Dec 30, 2025

RF Safe argues that red blood cell (RBC) “rouleaux” (stacking/aggregation) could be a visible, testable endpoint for investigating potential short-term physiological effects from wireless device exposure. The post highlights a 2025 report by Brown & Biebrich describing ultrasound observations interpreted as rouleaux-like aggregation after 5 minutes of smartphone placement near the popliteal vein, and contrasts this with earlier, more-criticized “live blood analysis” videos. It frames rouleaux as an electrostatic/zeta-potential phenomenon and calls for mechanistic testing and exposure mitigation, while presenting the ultrasound observation as a key shift toward more clinically standard imaging.

RF Safe Launches “Ethical Connectivity Pledge,” Calls on Beast Mobile, Trump Mobile, and Celebrity Backed Wireless Plans to Lead the Light Age With Integrity

Independent Voices RF Safe Dec 18, 2025

RF Safe announced an “Ethical Connectivity Pledge” aimed at celebrity- and creator-branded mobile plans, urging them to adopt child-first design standards, improve transparency, and invest in lower-exposure connectivity options such as Li‑Fi where feasible. The organization argues that current microwave-based wireless networks may pose plausible health risks—especially for children—and that business models can externalize long-term health costs onto families and public systems. The pledge is presented as a public signatory framework with tiers of commitment and an intent to enable public scrutiny of follow-through.

Beast Mobile Ethical Connectivity Is Not Optional

Independent Voices RF Safe Dec 17, 2025

RF Safe argues that companies marketing wireless connectivity to children should adopt a precautionary, “ethical connectivity” approach rather than relying on existing U.S. RF exposure rules. The piece claims current FCC guidelines are outdated and cites a 2021 D.C. Circuit decision criticizing the FCC’s retention of its RF limits, along with assertions about WHO-commissioned reviews and animal evidence. Overall, it frames wireless exposure for children as a credible risk and emphasizes regulatory lag and legal constraints as reasons for voluntary industry action.

How RF Safe Will Serve Humanity in 2026

Independent Voices RF Safe Dec 17, 2025

RF Safe founder John Coates outlines a 2026 advocacy plan focused on increasing enforcement of U.S. federal radiation-control law, pushing consumer technology toward Li‑Fi as a safer baseline for children, and demanding accountability from companies marketing wireless products to children. The post argues that current RF safety rules rely too heavily on “thermal-only” assumptions and that cumulative exposure from smartphones is a preventable risk. It also states RF Safe intends to pursue legal action to compel HHS to fulfill duties under the Radiation Control for Health & Safety Act (Public Law 90-602).

How non‑native electromagnetic fields, biological timing, and policy lock in converge — and why the Light Age is the only coherent exit

Independent Voices RF Safe Dec 13, 2025

RF Safe argues that modern radiofrequency (RF) exposures are complex (adaptive, nonlinear, geometry- and near-field–dependent) and that biological effects, if any, may be better understood as “timing/coherence” disruptions rather than direct single-cause disease claims. The piece cautions against simplistic “percent blocking” marketing for anti-radiation accessories, claiming real-world emissions can change when antenna boundary conditions are altered. It proposes an explanatory framework (“S4–Mito–Spin”) and suggests a policy/technology “exit” via indoor photonics (Li‑Fi/optical wireless) rather than continued expansion of microwave-based systems, while explicitly stating it does not claim RF causes specific human diseases or that products protect health.

Devolving One Calcium Burst at a Time

Independent Voices RF Safe Dec 10, 2025

This RF Safe article by John Coates argues that “non-native” RF/ELF electromagnetic fields may degrade biological “signal fidelity” by perturbing voltage-gated ion channel timing, with downstream effects on mitochondria, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and redox biology. It presents a conceptual “S4–Mito–Spin” framework and cites selected studies and mechanisms (e.g., ion-channel forced oscillation, radical-pair/spin chemistry) to support the plausibility of non-thermal effects. The piece frames modern wireless infrastructure as an uncontrolled long-term experiment and suggests current regulation focuses too narrowly on heating.

From Bell’s Photophone to the Light Age: How Wireless Took a Wrong Turn — and How We Correct It

Independent Voices RF Safe Nov 29, 2025

This RF Safe commentary argues that wireless communications “took a wrong turn” by prioritizing radiofrequency/microwave transmission over light-based approaches, citing Alexander Graham Bell’s 1880 photophone as an alternative model. It suggests that widespread, continuous RF exposure in modern environments is undesirable and proposes light-based, room-scale wireless as more biologically compatible. The piece also speculates about a historical association between Heinrich Hertz’s close-range RF experiments and his later fatal illness, while acknowledging there is no controlled evidence proving causation.

The Clean Ether Light Age Roadmap

Independent Voices RF Safe Nov 29, 2025

RF Safe argues for a transition from microwave-based wireless (cellular/Wi‑Fi/Bluetooth) to light-based communications (e.g., Li‑Fi) to reduce indoor RF exposure. The piece claims chronic, low-level RF exposure may pose health risks beyond heating and calls for a precautionary approach, while also criticizing U.S. legal and regulatory frameworks it says limit local control and rely on older, heat-focused assumptions.

HHS Is Breaking Federal Law Public Law 90-602

Independent Voices RF Safe Nov 26, 2025

An RF Safe commentary argues that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is violating Public Law 90-602 by failing to continuously update radiation-safety standards, asserting that no formal revisions have occurred since the mid-1980s. The post links this alleged inaction to continued public exposure from wireless technologies and calls for renewed long-term research and stricter exposure limits. It also claims the National Toxicology Program (NTP) was shut down in 2024 and references a 2021 court decision criticizing FCC RF rules, urging congressional action and new legislation.

A Root-Cause Hypothesis for Non-Native EMFs as Entropic Waste

Independent Voices RF Safe Nov 23, 2025

An RF Safe article presents a personal narrative and hypothesis that “non-native EMFs” act as “entropic waste” that could disrupt early embryonic neurodevelopment (neurulation), potentially contributing to neural-tube defects and later neurodevelopmental outcomes such as autism/ADHD. The author links a family tragedy to this hypothesis and argues for reducing wireless exposure as a precaution. The post cites several studies/reports (e.g., Farrell 1997, Aldad 2012, NTP 2018, WHO SR4A 2025) but does not provide detailed methods or evidence appraisal within the excerpt.

White Paper: Non-Thermal Radiofrequency Radiation from Wireless Technology: Established Biological Harm, Regulatory Capture, and a Path Forward with Biologically Compatible Alternatives

Independent Voices RF Safe Nov 21, 2025

RF Safe published a white paper by John Coates arguing that current wireless (RF) exposure limits focus on thermal heating while ignoring “non-thermal” biological effects reported in many studies. The piece cites animal studies (U.S. National Toxicology Program and Ramazzini Institute) and links RF exposure to outcomes such as rare tumors and declining sperm counts, and it alleges regulatory capture. It promotes Li‑Fi and other “biologically compatible” connectivity as a proposed path forward.

I’m not a doomer; I’m an engineer who’s spent three decades in the trenches

Independent Voices RF Safe Nov 21, 2025

An RF Safe post frames EMF/wireless exposure as a problem that the wireless industry is "pretending" does not exist, and positions the author as an RF engineer with decades of experience and patents (including Li‑Fi) advocating for technology compatible with human biology. The available excerpt contains mostly site/promotional text and a disclaimer that views are those of the authors, so specific technical arguments or evidence from the article cannot be verified from the provided text.

One Mechanism. Millions of Children Harmed.

Independent Voices RF Safe Nov 21, 2025

RF Safe argues that a single biological mechanism explains widespread harm to children from modern wireless signals (cell phones, Wi‑Fi, 5G, DECT), emphasizing that these signals are “pulsed and modulated.” The post claims that “animal proof” is now high-certainty and references “WHO 2025 GRADE-rated systematic reviews,” linking EMF exposure to rare cancers in young people, declining sperm counts, and childhood autoimmune/neurodevelopmental disorders. The excerpt provided does not include citations or details sufficient to verify these claims.

Legal Strategy: Repealing the “Gag Clause” with the First, Fifth, and Tenth Amendments

Policy RF Safe Nov 16, 2025

This RF Safe article argues that Section 704(b) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (47 U.S.C. §332(c)(7)(B)(iv)) functions as a federal “gag clause” that prevents state and local governments from considering health or environmental effects of RF emissions when making wireless facility siting decisions, so long as FCC exposure limits are met. It contends this preemption suppresses public-health arguments in local hearings and court challenges and frames the provision as constitutionally problematic under the First, Fifth, and Tenth Amendments. The piece proposes a legal strategy centered on Fifth Amendment takings claims, analogizing RF exposure to other intangible intrusions (e.g., noise, smoke) discussed in past U.S. Supreme Court cases.

Executive Summary

Independent Voices RF Safe Nov 15, 2025

RF Safe’s “Executive Summary” argues that non-thermal radiofrequency/microwave exposures from modern wireless technologies can disrupt biological processes, proposing ion-channel voltage-sensor interference as a key mechanism leading to oxidative stress and inflammation. It cites animal studies (NTP and Ramazzini) and claims a WHO-commissioned 2025 systematic review found “high certainty” evidence of increased cancer in animals, and it points to epidemiological trends as suggestive. The piece also criticizes U.S. regulation as focused on thermal effects, highlighting FCC limits dating to 1996 and referencing a 2021 U.S. court ruling that faulted the FCC for not addressing non-thermal evidence.

Beyond Thermal Limits: The Fight for Safe Wireless in a Microwave World

Independent Voices RF Safe Nov 15, 2025

RF Safe argues that U.S. RF exposure limits remain based on avoiding short-term heating (“thermal-only”) effects and have not been meaningfully updated since the FCC’s 1996 guidelines. The piece links this regulatory approach to community concerns about cell towers near schools, citing reported cancer clusters and claiming that compliance with FCC limits may not equate to safety. It also highlights Telecommunications Act Section 704 as limiting local opposition to tower siting on health or environmental grounds.

Health Risks of Wireless EMFs: A Scientific, Medical, Legal & Technological Advocacy Guide

Independent Voices RF Safe Nov 15, 2025

RF Safe publishes an advocacy guide arguing that current wireless RF/MW exposure limits are “thermal-only,” outdated since 1996, and insufficient to address claimed non-thermal biological effects from pulsed/modulated signals. The guide summarizes mechanistic arguments (e.g., voltage-gated ion channel timing disruption), cites animal studies and reviews it says link RF exposure to cancer and other harms, and calls for regulatory and technological reforms (including Li‑Fi) plus exposure-reduction strategies. The piece frames the issue as urgent and precautionary, presenting its synthesis as evidence-grounded but primarily as advocacy rather than a single new study.

The RF Radiation Safety Story

Independent Voices RF Safe Nov 14, 2025

This RF Safe article argues that U.S. radiofrequency (RF) exposure policy is outdated, emphasizing that FCC limits adopted in 1996 are based on preventing tissue heating and do not address alleged non-thermal biological effects. It claims responsibility for protecting public health from electronic product radiation was effectively ceded from health agencies to the FCC, and that Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act limits local governments from opposing wireless infrastructure on health grounds if FCC limits are met. The piece cites epidemiology, cell studies, and animal studies (notably the U.S. National Toxicology Program and the Ramazzini Institute) to argue that evidence has accumulated and regulation should be updated, but it presents these points in an advocacy framing rather than as a balanced review.

RF device that is FDA approved because it produces non thermal bioelectric effects

Independent Voices RF Safe Nov 14, 2025

RF Safe argues that an FDA-authorized therapeutic radiofrequency device (TheraBionic P1) demonstrates biologically meaningful “non-thermal” RF effects, and contrasts this with consumer wireless regulation that it says is based primarily on heating (SAR) limits set in 1996. The post frames this as a regulatory and legal gap, citing the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act and Telecommunications Act Section 704 as factors limiting local and public-health oversight. It also references several epidemiology and animal studies (e.g., Interphone, Hardell, CERENAT, IARC 2011 classification, and the U.S. NTP rodent studies) to support the claim that non-thermal effects and health risks warrant stronger scrutiny, though the article’s presentation is advocacy-oriented.

S4 Timing Fidelity — A Mechanistic Synthesis for Pulsed RF‑EMF Effects and “EHS”

Independent Voices RF Safe Nov 13, 2025

RF Safe presents a mechanistic hypothesis that pulsed/modulated RF-EMF can cause non-thermal biological effects by inducing “timing errors” in the S4 voltage-sensor helix of voltage-gated ion channels (VGICs). The article argues that low-frequency envelopes in wireless signals could drive ion oscillations near membranes, perturbing channel gating and downstream calcium/redox/inflammatory signaling, and frames electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) as heightened sensitivity to such signaling disruptions. It cites the Ion-Forced-Oscillation (IFO) model and references the NTP and Ramazzini rat studies as consistent with predicted tissue selectivity (heart and nervous system), while presenting the overall framework as a working hypothesis with testable predictions.
