On August 13, 2021, wireless safety advocates won a historic victory in a petition for review that challenged the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) on its outdated wireless safety guidelines. The case was filed in response to the FCC's decision in December 2019 to retain its outdated 1996 safety limits, despite all the scientific evidence submitted to the FCC on the harmful effects occurring at levels well below these safety limits.
Over 10,000 pages of evidence were submitted for this case detailing wireless radiation's effects on humans, wildlife, and the environment.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia determined that the FCC "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."

Concerned about hours of constant wireless exposure every day from online meetings?
Fortunately, many smartphones and tablets can now be wired to access the Internet via Ethernet cable even though they do not come with an Ethernet interface.
This is possible through an appropriate Ethernet adapter or a multiport hub containing an Ethernet interface.
Even if one's home is not wired for Ethernet, there is also a quick and easy way to setup one's home internet for Ethernet using existing electrical cabling
and some powerline adapters.
Changing to a wired setup may protect against the numerous effects, which have been reported from wireless exposure, including oxidative stress, reduced levels of glutathione, an important antioxidant for a healthy immune system, depression, sleep disturbances, and so on. (See Bioinitative Research Summaries 2020 and Pall 2016).

Wearable technology like Apple Watch and Fitbit enable fitness fanatics to track how many steps they walked, check their heart rhythms, or monitor their sleep quality.
However, not all fitness watches provide consumers with an airplane mode, or an option to turn off Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
Users may be unwittingly exposed to continual radiation throughout the day.

NTP Preliminary Results: Heart Tumors in Exposed Rats: Recently, Newsweek publicized the preliminary results of a major $25 million study on the effect of cell phone-like radiation on rats, by the National Toxicology Program. In this study, rats received around 9 hours a day of radiation in 10-minutes on, 10-minute off increments— the lowest dosage being 1.5 W/kg which is within current official safety standards. Malignant brain tumors and heart tumors were found in the study. The types of cells affected, Schwann cells, are supposedly the same type of cell involved in epidemiological studies on rare brain tumors. Even the chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society, called the preliminary findings a “game changer.”

Pesticides may interfere with VGCC's:Recently, in March, my district scheduled a pesticide spray against mosquitos and cockroaches. Coincidentally, the evening prior to and the very day of the spraying, two different people brought up the topic of Parkinson’s disease. I then remembered that neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, whose parents died of Parkinson's, once mentioned a likely link between pesticides and Parkinson's. I found an article which not only mentions a likely link between pesticides and Parkinson’s, but also mentions voltage-gated calcium channel (VGCC) as one of the underlying scientific mechanisms. This immediately caught my attention, because I remembered Martin Pall had said EMF's could impact VGCC's. Is it possible that chemicals and EMF could both have adverse effects on the nervous system via the same pathway?
