There are more than 7.4 billion smartphones and over 8.3 billion mobile phones in the world as of 2025. Mobile phones and base stations communicate by continually emitting radio waves, as do all wireless and Bluetooth devices. These waves can have biological effects on the human body, prompting ongoing discussions about their significance and impact.
During phone calls, mobile phones and especially DECT phones are typically held close to the ear, placing sensitive organs such as the eyes and brain in close proximity to the antenna, where the radiation is most concentrated. A key measurement used for mobile phones is the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), which indicates how much body tissue absorbs radiation.
Safety standards for non-ionising EMF radiation are set by government agencies for each country but are significantly out of date. When mobile phones were first invented, they used analog signals. This was the case up to the creation of the 2G network in the 1990s when the signals switched to digital but the safety standards were not reviewed.......
Analog vs. Digital Frequencies
EVERY frequency emitted in nature swings analog. EVERY living cell vibrates analog, harmoniously, and in coherence.
Analog frequencies in nature and inside our bodies are beneficial, and each one has a unique code. We are dependent on these frequencies from the natural environment as they tell our cells what to do.
Unfortunately, almost all the technology created by man uses digital frequencies, which are non-natural.
These digital frequencies affect organic functions to a far greater extent than was imaginable years ago. Our physiology has not been able to adapt as quickly as the technology has been developed.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends an upper limit of 2.0 W/kg for SAR value, which was set in 1996 using studies on animals from the previous decade, where a small number of rats and monkeys were exposed to high levels of RF radiation for less than an hour. At that time, UK phone ownership stood at 16% of households. A decade later the figure was 80%.
In addition to thermal effects—where radiation increases body temperature—there are also athermal effects, which refer to biological changes caused by electromagnetic fields that do not raise body temperature but do inflict damage. There is a huge body of Scientific research that is being continually conducted to explore these athermal effects, including potential changes in cell metabolism and brain waves.
IT'S NO LONGER A DEBATE
Low-intensity radiofrequency radiation (RFR) can induce biological effects through oxidative stress, a process where the body's antioxidant defences are overwhelmed by excessive free radicals. This leads to cellular damage and a range of health problems.
Specifically, RFR can activate key pathways generating reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are free radicals that can damage DNA, lipids, and proteins. These mechanisms contribute to the potential health risks associated with RFR exposure, including both cancer and non-cancer pathologies. This is NOT new knowledge. A comprehensive study released as early as 2016 found that exposure to mobile phone radiation can increase brain and heart tumours.
