What happened in January 2026—and why it matters In mid‑January 2026, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), led by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., confirmed it would launch a study/review focused on cellphone radiation and health. At the same time, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) removed older webpages that had conveyed […]

RFK Jr. Was Right to Pull FDA’s Blanket “Cell Phone Radiation Is Safe” Assurances
HHS removed FDA’s “not dangerous” cellphone radiation pages because animal toxicology, WHO-commissioned reviews, and federal court findings make blanket safety assurances scientifically indefensible. Why RFK Jr. Was Correct to Remove Blanket Assurances About Cell Phone Radiation Safety In January 2026, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), led by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy […]
Cell Phone Radiation: What HHS/FDA actually did—and why that matters
As of mid‑January 2026, Reuters reports that HHS is launching a study on cellphone radiation, and that FDA “took down old webpages saying cellphones are not dangerous” while HHS undertakes that work. That is a critical framing: pulling categorical webpages is not the same thing as declaring a confirmed hazard. It is a risk‑communication and […]
The Mechanistic Pivot: Why HHS and FDA Must Fund Predictive Biology Now (S4–Mito–Spin)
If HHS is serious about a “reset” on cellphone radiation, it cannot stop at literature summaries or another round of generalized reassurance. A modern safety standard requires a mechanistic model that can generate predictions, define boundary conditions, and explain why outcomes vary across tissues, waveforms, and time. That need is not theoretical. It is visible […]
RFK Jr., HHS, and the FDA’s Cell Phone Radiation Reset
What Changed, What’s Missing, and Why It Matters Right Now In mid-January 2026, a quiet but consequential shift occurred in Washington: the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), led by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., moved away from prior FDA web content that conveyed strong “no-risk” conclusions about cellphone radiation—and simultaneously signaled renewed […]
FDA Removes “Safety Conclusion” Cellphone Radiation Pages as HHS Announces a New Study—Why the “NTP Was Too High Dose” Talking Point Fails
One of the most repeated talking points used to dismiss the National Toxicology Program’s (NTP) cellphone-radiation findings is simple: the exposures were “too high,” therefore the results don’t matter. That framing is not just incomplete—it is misleading. It collapses a multi-dose, multi-year toxicology program into a single caricature, ignores basic RF biology realities like non-linearity […]
HHS study, FDA “before vs after,” and the FCC court remand
What can be documented (cleanly) right now 1) What the FDA page said before (archived June 2025) The archived FDA “Do Cell Phones Pose a Health Hazard?” page (content current as of 06/30/2025) included the categorical “weight of evidence” framing about FCC limits, e.g., “the FDA believes that the weight of scientific evidence has not […]
The Federal Script Just Changed on Cellphone Radiation: FDA Deletes “Old Conclusions” as HHS Launches a New Study
On January 15, 2026, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) confirmed it will launch a new study on cellphone radiation and health effects—and, at the same time, acknowledged that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) “removed webpages with old conclusions” about cellphone radiation to make room for fresh research identifying knowledge […]
A Monumental Shift: FDA’s Cellphone Radiation Page Overhaul – From Unsubstantiated Safety Claims to Embracing the 1968 Mandate
In a long-overdue move that marks a pivotal victory for public health transparency and scientific integrity, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has drastically revised its webpages on cellphone radiation risks. As of January 15, 2026, the agency has shifted away from blanket assurances of safety—statements that lacked robust, up-to-date evidence—and toward a framework […]
When the FTC Put “Radiation Shield” Scams on Notice—and Why RF Safe Says the Warning Started Earlier
In the early days of consumer cell phones, public anxiety about “radiation” created a predictable market opportunity: products that promised protection. Many of them were simple stickers or small patches marketed to block “up to 99%” of emissions—often placed over the earpiece, where consumers intuitively believed the risk was highest. The problem is that intuitive […]
RF Safe’s QuantaCase (also known as TruthCase)
RF Safe’s QuantaCase (also known as TruthCase) is widely regarded as the premier anti-radiation phone case for 2026, standing out for its science-driven design, commitment to realistic protection, and the company’s foundational role in shaping industry standards and regulatory warnings against scams. Since its founding in 1998, RF Safe has championed practical mitigations like maintaining […]
The Anti‑Radiation Phone Case Market Runs on Percentages. RF Safe Refuses to Sell One.
Anti‑radiation phone cases occupy a strange corner of the consumer market: high demand, high anxiety, and marketing that often looks more like “confidence theater” than engineering. Many products promise dramatic reductions—“up to 99% blocking”—while offering little clarity about what was tested, how it was tested, and whether the result translates to real‑world phone behavior. RF […]
Why RF Safe’s TruthCase Refuses the “99% Blocking” Game — and Why That’s the Point
In the debate over cell phone RF/EMF exposure, two things can be true at once: Many public-health agencies and major reviews maintain that typical real-world phone use has not been shown to cause cancer in humans. A precautionary audience still exists—driven by uncertainty, long time horizons, evolving wireless systems, and animal/lab findings that some interpret […]
The Anti Radiation Case That Refuses to Sell a Number
Why RF Safe’s TruthCase™ / QuantaCase® is built on first principles—and why that matters more than “99% blocking” The topic of cell phone radiation sits in a complicated place: it is widely discussed, frequently misunderstood, and often marketed with a level of certainty that the underlying science and real‑world device behavior do not always support. […]
RF Safe’s Market Position and Industry Skepticism
RF Safe’s long history (since 1998) does set it apart in a market often criticized for hype, as it prioritizes physics-based design and education over exaggerated claims. That said, the anti-radiation phone case industry as a whole faces skepticism—some experts view the entire category as ineffective or even counterproductive, arguing that non-ionizing RF radiation from […]
Rebutting Media Bias/Fact Check’s “Medium Credibility” Rating for RF Safe: How the S4 Mito Spin Framework Integrates Null Findings as Boundary Conditions
Media Bias/Fact Check (MBFC) recently updated its assessment of RF Safe on January 8, 2026, rating it as “Least Biased” politically and “Mostly Factual” in reporting, but assigning an overall “Medium Credibility” due to perceived one-sided interpretations of evidence, potential conflicts from product sales, and what it calls alarmist framing that conflicts with major health […]
Negative Controls That Matter
Why “No Effect” in Skin Cells Can Validate S4–Mito–Spin Instead of Refuting It A common objection in RF/EMF discussions is simple: “But some studies find nothing.” The assumption behind that objection is that “nothing happened” equals “nothing is happening.” In real experimental science, that is not how null results work—especially in systems that are parameter-dependent, […]

Let me welcome you the only way I know how: straight. If you’re reading this, you are the resistance. I can say that confidently because I didn’t spend money on an ad to get you here. There was no Google campaign. No paid promotion. We rarely email. We don’t live on “boosted posts.” So if […]
Unmasking the Myths: Why the Interphone and Danish Cohort Studies Are Among the Most Misleading in RF-EMF Research
And other major “safety reassurance” efforts that still produced harm signals In the ongoing debate over radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) from cell phones and health risks, two studies are frequently trotted out to argue that risks are minimal or nonexistent: the Interphone Study (2010) and the Danish Cohort Study (updated through 2011). These are often […]
Why the S4 Mito Spin Framework Stays Out of Human Causation Debates – And Why That’s a Strength for RF/EMF Safety Advocacy
In the ongoing conversation about radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF/EMF) from wireless tech, it’s easy for discussions to veer into heated debates over whether cell phones directly cause human diseases like cancer. But that’s not the arena for the S4-Mito-Spin framework. Developed to interpret the vast body of research on non-thermal RF effects, this model focuses […]

RF Safe Is Built on Tools, Not Hype: The SAR Database, the 4,000+ Study Research Viewer, and the TruthCase Standard
1) What RF Safe is (and what it is not) RF Safe is an advocacy and education project focused on RF (radiofrequency) exposure literacy, safer‑use habits, and modernizing outdated safety logic. RF Safe does not claim that RF exposure is proven to “cause” any single human disease. What RF Safe does argue is narrower and […]
Rebutting MBFC’s “Medium Credibility” Rationale for RF Safe (MBFC Updated Jan 8, 2026)
Scope Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) currently rates RF Safe Least Biased and Mostly Factual, but assigns Medium Credibility, stating credibility is “tempered by selective citation, one-sided interpretation of evidence, alarmist framing, and a potential conflict of interest stemming from the sale of RF-related safety products.” This brief responds to those four bases using RF […]
