THE DANGERS OF EMF’s, & Our National Assembly Call With EMF Experts Magda Havas & Sheena Symington

Although many people are unaware of it (or, more likely, choose to ignore it), the health risks from cellphones, 5G towers, Wi-Fi and ‘dirty electricity’ are very well documented, and the evidence keeps piling up. There is shocking new research coming to light all the time warning of how our overall health and well-being is being eroded by this all-pervasive wireless radiation. Yet people don’t seem to be that concerned about it and seem happy to trade the risks for the convenience, just as we did with our microwave ovens!

It is much like how people might be unsettled by what they see going on with the declining health of highly vaccinated people, but they don’t admit it or talk about it, lest they have to face the consequences of their own questionable decisions.

It is the classic case of people willingly putting their ‘head in the sand,’ trading the convenience of Wi-Fi and smart phone interconnectivity for blissful ignorance. However, as we all learn sooner or later, blissful ignorance often comes with a price, and when it comes to our health and wellbeing, we might not be fully prepared for just how high that price might actually be.

According to the US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., “Electromagnetic radiation is a major health concern,” and one that he is “very concerned about.” Obviously we should be very concerned about it too!

Under Kennedy’s leadership, at the end of last month, the FDA updated its website and quietly removed many of the outdated EMF studies. The move comes as a large, new study has recently been launched to analyze and address the consequences of the widespread use of cellphones, tablets, wearables (such as smart watches and bluetooth earbuds), and the launch of 5G.

And it is everywhere. There is now no escaping this immersive thick blanket of electromagnetic frequency (EMF) that we are all struggling through: If you live in a house, there are multiple Wi-Fi routers nearby all adding to your exposure. If you live in an apartment complex, there are literally dozens of them, around you, above you and below you. And they are all over-stimulating your cells and your brain and are overwhelming your immune system, disrupting your sleep and churning your emotions.

According to Sayer Ji of GreenMed Info, there are many reputable studies that show prolonged exposure to EMF radiation from Wi-Fi routers can cause oxidative stress (a root cause of joint pain, wrinkles, and other signs of accelerated aging), sleep problems, headaches, and fatigue.

He cites numerous recent studies that show how EMFs are impacting our bodies, including:

• In October, the World Health Organization issued a new warning that EMF exposure worsens sleep quality and duration.
• Just 30 minutes of cellphone usage has been linked to impaired memory and learning (which is a real problem for children and teenagers).
• EMF exposure can trigger oxidative stress and alter antioxidant markers in tissues, causing stress and damage to cells.
• Just 5 minutes of EMF exposure is all it takes to alter Heart Rate Variability, a key marker of stress resilience and cardiac regulation.
• And how doctors are now warning men trying to start a family not to keep cellphones in their pocket since EMF exposure can damage sperm and overall fertility.

And that is not all. Electromagnetic radiation (EMR), not just from cell towers and wireless devices but even just exposure from electrical power grids, is likely a driver of the global increase in diabetes, according to a new report. This study compiled by Paul Héroux, Ph.D. shows that even very low levels of EMR can affect how cells function, including how they handle glucose.

According to The Defender, the report — which includes over 280 citations — is a deep dive into the evidence suggesting that EMR (Electromagnetic radiation) exposure from electrical power grids and wireless radiation can raise blood sugar levels. “Current EMR safety standards are inadequate for protecting long-term metabolic health,” Héroux concluded.

In support of this shocking conclusion, Beatrice Golomb, M.D, Ph.D., a professor of medicine at the University of California, School of Medicine, said she has “long recognized” that EMR can play a role, “not only in diabetes but in all of the metabolic syndrome factors, including weight gain and hypertension.” However, medical training generally overlooks the impact of environmental toxins like EMR.

Then, just last month, a peer-reviewed study published in Electromagnetic Biology and Medicine confirmed that living near a cell tower elevates levels of white blood cells, comparable to the levels seen in smokers. The study also found that using a cellphone for 4 to 6 hours a day raised people’s white blood cell count, particularly among adults under 30. “These results indicate human biological systems are under stress from both mobile phone use and local mobile phone tower exposures, leading to potential health effects,” the authors wrote.

White blood cells are key to the body’s immune response and naturally elevate during infection or inflammation, according to the Cleveland Clinic. But ongoing exposure to wireless radiation from cell towers and cellphones may deplete the immune system by chronically elevating the white blood cell count, according to the study authors. “People’s everyday exposures to mobile phones and towers may be affecting their health by creating or adding to inflammatory conditions and immune system depletion,” the study’s authors said.

Yet, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States, which sets the U.S. limit for how much EMF radiation cell towers and wireless devices can emit, hasn’t updated its limits since 1996! Those limits were based on a handful of studies from the 1970s and 1980s with small sample sizes and only measured the short-term impact of wireless radiation at levels high enough to actually heat human tissue.

In other words, the U.S., and North America generally, has no safety limits in place that account for long-term exposure at the levels emitted by most modern cellphones and cell towers.

This is a critical health issue for us all. To find out more about the range of dangers we are being subjected to, and – more importantly – what we can do about it, join our Canada Health Alliance National Assembly call on March 31st, 2026.

In that call we are very pleased to have two leading world experts on the dangers of EMF and radio frequency (RF) radiation as our guests. They are Magda Havas and Sheena Symington and they will be discussing, not just these latest research findings, but the learnings of their lifetime of study. They will also be sharing with us how we can best protect ourselves from this excessive, yet unseen, health hazard which is getting worse with every new tower that is being installed.

The call starts at 5 pm PST / 8 pm EST and it is essential to pre-register for this very important and educational call that will be followed by a LIVE audience Q&A.

Magda Havas and Sheena Symington will also be guest presenters at our upcoming 3-day SelfCare is Healthcare retreat conference that starts on April 24th. To find out more, see our conference website and all the speaker profiles at: https://www.selfcareishealthcare.ca/
