For years now, the cellular industries, both devices, careers, and infrastructure are making a huge amount of money by supplying the world with RFR (Radio Frequency Radiation) emitting smartphones, earphones, routers, network cards, modems, cordless phones, smart meters, cell phone towers, wireless access points and many more types of infrastructure and devices.

These industries are protected by the high nonprotective, heat-based RF exposure standards of the FCC and ICNIRP. Both are for devices and infrastructure. Both the FCC(US) and ICNIRP (EU and most of the rest of the world) base their standards on the assumption that other than heat, there is no possible known health effect to RF radiation.

Recently, the FCC standard for RF exposure was recently called out by the D.C. circuit court as ” arbitrary and capriciousin  ” when rolling in the case of EHT and CHD against the FCC. the court also noted that “The Commission failed to provide a reasoned explanation for its determination that its guidelines adequately protect against the harmful effects of exposure to radiofrequency radiation unrelated to cancer.”.

This rolling was not given in a vacuum, as from one side the industry is racing for the fast deployment of 5G, the development of 6G, and the introduction of new smartphones, “small cells” antenna, new WIFI-6, ZigBee, and many other new wireless communication standards, technologies and products. On the other side of reality, more and more studies show that RF Radiation can cause biological changes that can lead to health effects, in RFR levels far below the so-called “safety standards”. In addition to the studies that are done in the theoretical and experimental academic ivory towers, here in the ‘new-smart-wireless-cellular world’, more and more people are becoming sick because of RFR exposure.

I got hurt in 2004. Back then I could feel the RFR from my cell phone after 20-40 seconds, but I was generally OK when going down the street, being around people with smartphones, and driving the roads. But as the deployment of 3G networks and the adoption of smartphone and WIFI routers and devices grew, my sensitivity to RFR worsen and came to a stage I could not be around people with smartphones, WIFI routers, or 100 meters from a cell tower (could not walk the streets or drive my car on the highway) without symptoms. For a year and a half, I struggled until learning to cope with this new condition, learning about RFF, how to measure it, how to reduce exposure, and how to protect from it.

Since then I have recovered slowly, but not completely. I left the Hi-Tech industry in 2013, and started to devote all my time to building awareness to RFR and Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity (EHS), or as it was called before Microwave sickness, for developing RFR personal protection clothes and garments and measuring devices, and for supporting EHS people all across the globe.

Since I got hurt by RFR, the industry was not idle. 3G, 4G networks have been deployed. Smartphones have become the preferred personal communication device for most people. Wireless devices become present in every household, office, public area, and even on & in people’s bodies. Smart meters were deployed across the world, and now we are facing an acceleration of this process as we go into the next stage of the wireless revolution, 5G, smart cities, and IoT.

5G, small cells, 5G phones, IoT, smart cities, and many more booming new technologies are aiming to be the next big thing, and the next money maker for this hungry, aggressive beast we got used calling ‘the wireless and cellular industry.

Since I started supporting EHS people with handling their condition, measuring RFR, reducing exposure, and using protection, I have seen waves of victims on each step the industry made. My guess is that the next year is not going to be any different and I think it is going to be even worse. than before. As with the deployment of 5G (mainly small cells) and the usage of new 5G/4G smartphones, both are developed and tested according to high non-protective standards, many more are going to experience the bad side of wireless and cellular technology. Many more are going to suffer from symptoms that come with exposure and eventually becoming fully EHS.

If the industry will continue to hide behind bad science, captive regulation agencies like the FCC and the FDA, and high non-protective, heat-based RFR standards, they will become a bigger blow to humanity than the tobacco industry was.

It is time for the industry to acknowledge the need for change. To stop thinking about the short-term profit they will make before being caught red-handed. It is time for the industry to think about how to create a better & healthier world and better products. Doing better not by deploying more lucrative products and denying any possible risk, but by acknowledging the damage it did, acknowledging the people who were hurt in the process, acknowledging the health effect of their products, infrastructure, and technologies, and by adopting new health-protective safety standards. these new better, healthier standards will allow the industry to develop, deploy, and market new wireless technologies with much lower RFR exposure and less health damage.

If the industry will continue to count on its current power, influence, advocate groups, and political lobbies to push back the science showing damage & people that were hurt by RFR exposure. If the industry will not acknowledge that RFR exposure is not healthy even at low levels, the body count will eventually turn the tides against it. When this will happen, there will not be a way back, both for the industry and for many of us.

Acknowledge the biological damage of Radio Frequency Radiation (RFR) now!
Acknowledge Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity and the people who already got hurt from RFR now!
Create, adopt and support real biological health-based RFR safety standards now!
Help in the creation of a better world, and stop making people sick, all for making just another buck, selling another 5G smartphone, and installing another small cell!

If you are part of this industry, and you have read this far down the post, I count on you to be part of the change.

Industry ….do the right thing!
