ExclusiveCell Phone Radiation Research HALTED #frontpageshow #frontpageexclusive

Animal studies have shown that cell phone radiation exposure poses serious health risks, but studies have stopped investigating a possible link. The National Toxicology Program, the NTP, which studies potential toxins, recently announced that it would no longer investigate evidence that cell phone radiation can harm animals and people. The NTP claimed that additional radio frequency radiation studies are not planned, stating that the research was technically challenging and more source-intensive than expected. However, the move shocked scientists like Derva Davis, who is a former senior advisor to the Assistant Secretary for Health in the Department of Health and Human Services. Davis criticized this decision. She noted that technical challenges are not a reason to avoid studying something that appears to cause cancer in animals. Davis noted, everything we know for sure that causes cancer in people will produce it in animals when adequately studied. Despite admitting to developing a novel small-scale radio frequency radiation exposure system in 2019, to clarify earlier findings, the NTP cancelled further investigations. This system only studied older 2G and 3G devices, not newer 4G or 5G technologies. Davis said the agency takes years to plan studies. So she noted that scrapping this project is beyond my comprehension at this point, giving millions of children's daily exposure. In an email statement, the National Toxicology Program confirmed that although work on the small-scale exposure system and accompanying research has been completed, the results will be publicly available and posted on the agency's web page only when internal reviews are finished. As of this writing, the 2019 research remains unpublished. Two-year toxicology studies conducted by the NTP in 2018 found clear evidence of an association between 2G and 3G cell phone radiation and tumors in male rats. A follow-up study in 2019 found that rats and mice that were exposed to this compound suffered from DNA damage in the brains, livers and blood cells. However, Davis noted that despite initially requesting and overseeing these studies, the US Food and Drug Administration, the FDA, seems to dismiss the NTP's findings. The Federal Communications Commission, the FCC, affirmed that the radiation exposure standards from 1996 are outdated for new 5G technologies. To justify this, the FDA anonymously produced an unreviewed document in 2020. So the Environmental Health Trust has sued the FCC. In 2021, the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled against the FCC. According to the court, the FCC violated the law by keeping its 1996 wireless radiation exposure limits rather than updating them. The court found that the FCC ignored evidence that radiation below its current limits can cause adverse health effects besides cancer. In addition, the court found that the FCC failed to respond to comments concerning the harmful effects of radiation on the environment. So the court ordered revised standards to account for the Environmental Health Trust records on risks to children and the environment. As a result, Davis questioned, so why are we ignoring animal study results showing harm? There's only one reason, because there's so much money involved. So are there ways to avoid radio frequency radiation exposure? There are several recommendations. They include not carrying your phone in your pocket or bra, using speakerphone and holding the phone away from your head and body, keeping your device away from reproductive organs, using a wired connection rather than Wi-Fi internet, and not sleeping near your phone.
