An RF Safe article argues that plasma membrane potential (Vm) is a key control variable for immune cell behavior by shaping ion driving forces, especially Ca2+ influx through CRAC channels and K+ channel–mediated hyperpolarization. It describes proposed links between Vm-regulated ion flux and downstream immune functions such as T-cell activation (NFAT/NF-κB signaling), macrophage polarization, respiratory burst capacity, and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. The piece also mentions that external electric fields can influence T-cell migration and activation markers under some conditions, but it does not present new experimental data in the excerpt provided.

RF Safe argues that non-thermal biological effects from low-frequency/pulsed RF-EMF exposures can be explained by a “timing-fidelity” mechanism involving voltage-gated ion channel (VGIC) gating perturbations. The post links altered ion-channel timing to downstream immune signaling changes (e.g., Ca²⁺ dynamics, NFAT/NF-κB transcription), mitochondrial stress, and inflammatory pathway activation, and suggests this could relate to reported animal cancer signals and reproductive endpoints. It proposes a set of “falsifiable tests” and calls for a policy/engineering program (“Clean Ether Act”) emphasizing RF temporal patterning and shifting some connectivity to LiFi.
