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…
