Semi-weekly reminder that exposure to ELF to upper microwave band radiation causes brain damage, cancer, reproductive problems, broader psychiatric issues (depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc), and alters human behavior.

It does this by acting on the voltage sensing subunit of voltage gated calcium channels (predominantly L-type), leading to chronically elevated intracellular calcium. Aberrant Ca2+ flux affects Ca2+ regulated cellular machinery and ultimately ends at increased NO production. This overwhelms normal physiologic processing pathways, and begins to react with superoxide to form peroxynitrite.

Observed effects of lower frequency pulsed and static fields on organisms, both at thermal and non-thermal levels, dates back to the late 60's and was understood to be biologically active even at that point. Epidemiological data has been extremely consistent, and the low level mechanistic approach is beginning to fill in the underpinnings of these observations.

Belief does not make actuality. It's time we decided as a species whether we're ready to face reality, or if we will choose to fizzle out living a pitiful fantasy. The rate of discernible autism spectrum abnormalities are now, at a low estimate, 1 in 45 children. We know of a genetic polymorphism (Timothy syndrome) that causes overactive VGCCs, and correlates universally with autism. We know calcium signalling is integral to synaptogenesis and dendrite formation and maintenance. Might be something to think about.

These are some reviews. Follow the citations.
