A lot of 5G is future with expanding the frequency ranges above 6 GHz to the 30 GHz to 300 GHz range, which are far above what your microwave oven uses to heat water molecules in food at 2.4 GHz. Such high frequencies can be dangerous if strong enough, and you&#8217;d be getting a high amount of radiation near a 5G tower. I&#8217;m still leery of exposure to these really high frequencies for sustained periods of time and even at lower power from a smartphone itself. Consequently, I&#8217;m using an LTE phone but I did just order a 5G phone though a midrange model that doesn&#8217;t have radio bands above 6 GHz which is probably a smart option until more data is available. Consequently, the original intention with 5G was to put small cellular transmitters dispersed within neighborhoods that would transmit 200 watts spread spectrum in the new high frequency ranges blanketing residents with strong radiation. However, there are ways to mitigate RF exposure in residences with window film coverings and RF blocking paint which would be the easiest to administer if needed.

All three children had sleeping problems and emotional symptoms \u2014 labeled as \u201cirritability\u201d and \u201cemotive\u201d \u2014 ranked at a level 10. The study also reported:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTwo of the children got diarrhea, pain in the stomach and headache graded between 8 and 3 on the severity scale. The child aged 6 years who did not get pain in the stomach and diarrhea, got skin rashes graded 8 on the severity scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026 The symptoms appeared soon after the arrival to the house and disappeared after they came home, where radiation levels were considerably lower.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nilsson, managing director of the<a href=\"https:\/\/www-stralskyddsstiftelsen-se.translate.goog\/?_x_tr_sl=auto&amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;_x_tr_hl=en&amp;_x_tr_pto=wapp\"> Swedish Radiation Protection Foundation<\/a>, said she found it \u201cvery concerning\u201d that the children got headaches and had sleeping problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cChildren of that age should not be suffering from headaches nor sleeping problems,\u201d she said, yet such symptoms are \u201cexpected effects from increasing exposure to RF radiation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nilsson added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been rather <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/26556835\/\">well known for many years<\/a> that this kind of pulse-modulated radiation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0013935122011781?via%3Dihub\">disturbs sleep and causes headache<\/a>, that it affects the functioning of the brain in terms of <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/22564535\/\">reduced learning, memory<\/a> and concentration and also [can cause] <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0161813X06001835\">behavior changes<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The case study illustrates \u201cwhat is probably happening on a much broader scale \u2014 which is very alarming,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The parents reported severe fatigue, headaches and insomnia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the previous two summers, the family had rented the same house \u201cwithout experiencing any health issues,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the summer of 2022, a telecommunication carrier installed 5G antennas. In late 2022, two additional carriers installed more 5G antennas on the tower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hardell and Nilsson on Oct. 9 took measurements around the summer cottage where the family stayed. The levels varied between 9,000 and 43,400 microwatts per square meter (\u03bcW\/m2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, these numbers are likely lower than what the family experienced because the summer recreation area \u2014 which had nine more cottages, more than 70 apartments and over 400 camping spots \u2014 was mostly empty when the researchers took the readings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was \u201cunfortunate,\u201d Hardell and Nilsson said, because \u201cduring the actual stay when the area was fully occupied \u2026 the mobile phone traffic from the tower most likely was much higher.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Most are unaware of 5G\u2019s toxic effects<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hardell said, \u201cPeople in general \u2014 and also the medical profession \u2014 are mostly uneducated and do not understand the toxic effects of 5G. The implementation of 5G is a very dangerous development both for human health and the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe implementation of 5G goes ahead on its own track based on economic interests and regardless of scientific evidence of detrimental effects. Protests from scientists and NGOs [nongovernmental organizations] are unheard,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hardell encouraged concerned parents to minimize their kids\u2019 exposure to 5G radiation. \u201cAs we have shown, health is soon restored when people leave [the place with high 5G radiation] and go to a place with no 5G.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn fact,\u201d he added, \u201cour results show that 5G exposure is a classic \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/31027914\/\">provocation test<\/a>\u2019 on health\u201d because it clearly shows the symptoms that occur when a person is exposed to something \u2014 such as a new drug or new radiation level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Realistically, though, most parents don\u2019t have the economic means to relocate to a place with no 5G, he said. \u201cFurthermore, 5G is expanding and will cover most of the country in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hardell said it\u2019s not fair that parents who value their children\u2019s health should have to avoid vacationing sites or other places simply because of 5G. \u201cAfter all, society is for all and nobody should be excluded,\u201d Hardell said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the solution?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Hardell, \u201c5G must be stopped until studies on human health and the environment have been made by scientists with no conflicts of interest.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of Oct. 12, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.5gappeal.eu\/signatories-to-scientists-5g-appeal\/\">434 scientists and doctors<\/a> had signed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.5gappeal.eu\/\">5G Appeal<\/a> which calls for a halt to 5G until such research is done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They sent their appeal to the European Union seven times \u201cwithout any effect,\u201d Hardell, from Sweden, said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Citizens themselves must also stand up and demand a halt. \u201cPeople must protest and make their voices be heard,\u201d Hardell said. \u201cThe people must educate themselves, take measurements of the radiation, consider any new health problems and exert pressure on politicians for a change.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The media also has \u201ca huge responsibility\u201d to open up the debate on 5G and inform the public about its dangers, he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We just keep getting reports of people near 5G towers who are suffering physical symptoms, and the cellular companies in the beginning admitted to not having done any health studies for 5G.
