RF Safe presents a mechanistic hypothesis that low-frequency electromagnetic fields (LF-EMFs) can disrupt the timing (“fidelity”) of voltage-gated ion channel activity, creating bioelectric “phase noise” that could alter calcium signaling and gene transcription involved in immune function. The article further argues that this mistiming may impair mitochondrial function, increasing reactive oxygen species and inflammatory feedback loops, potentially contributing to immune dysregulation. It also proposes a policy/engineering response focused on reducing indoor RF exposure and promoting alternatives such as LiFi, while citing animal and epidemiology findings as suggestive but not definitive support for the broader framework.

This rat study assessed whether alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) modifies liver effects from extremely low-frequency magnetic field (ELF-MF) exposure. ELF-MF exposure (2 mT, 4 hours/day for 30 days) was associated with increased liver pathology and higher apoptosis markers (TUNEL, caspase-3) compared with other groups. ALA reduced several histopathological changes and lowered TUNEL/caspase-3, but did not improve fibrosis or biliary proliferation.

This review examines links between extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields, especially the Schumann resonance at ~7.83 Hz, and biological regulation of bioelectricity. It describes proposed mechanisms involving calcium flux modulation and downstream effects on neural activity (including EEG) and circadian rhythms. The article presents both potential benefits from controlled ELF exposures (e.g., therapeutic applications) and potential harms from artificial EMFs disrupting key physiological processes, while emphasizing the need for further research.

This cross-sectional epidemiologic study enrolled 100 employees of an electricity company to assess whether occupational low-frequency electromagnetic field exposure is associated with cataract development. Cataract frequency was higher in exposed versus non-exposed groups, and nuclear opacity grading differed significantly between groups. Within exposed workers, nuclear and posterior subcapsular cataract grades were associated with longer work experience, suggesting occupational exposure may be a risk factor, particularly for nuclear cataracts.
