You deserve it straight: the new small-scale NIEHS/NTP radiofrequency (RFR) studies are a stall tactic—polished, expensive, and strategically pointed at the wrong targets. They retread the same 2G/3G bands (900 and 1900 MHz) we’ve been studying for decades while the real-world exposure moves deeper into your home and body via low-band 5G at 600 MHz. […]

They’re Testing the Wrong Thing The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) just unveiled a new, taxpayer-funded RF radiation testing system. On paper, it sounds impressive — a modern exposure chamber, capable of running precise, controlled experiments. But here’s the dirty truth: they’ve tuned it to test the same outdated frequencies we’ve already studied […]

A New Report That Looks Backward, Not Forward In August 2025, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) released a 200-page technical report about its newly built whole-body rodent RF exposure chamber. https://microwavenews.com/papers/novel-whole-body-rodent-rf-exposure-system They’re framing it as the tool to advance future wireless health research. The system is technically impressive — precise SAR control, […]

Why the 2025 WHO Science Leaves No Room for Hedging on RF Risk The Report in Brief https://www.niehs.nih.gov/research/atniehs/dtt/assoc/reports/cellphonerfr In August 2025, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) released a 200-page technical document describing a newly built whole-body radiofrequency radiation (RFR) exposure system for rodents. It’s a smaller, flexible version of the reverberation chambers […]

The FT graphic making the rounds this week is startling: conscientiousness in freefall among younger adults, agreeableness and extraversion also sliding, while neuroticism climbs. Most will see this as a sociological story. ceLLM Theory says it’s a biological one too — and a warning. https://www.ft.com/content/5cd77ef0-b546-4105-8946-36db3f84dc43 Transgenerational Traits Require High-Fidelity EnvironmentsIn nature, certain behaviors and temperamental […]

Subject: Urgent Correction to the MAHA Report’s Wireless Radiation Section & Implementation of a Clean Ether Act Prepared by: John CoatesDate: 8/8/2025 Introduction The Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) report, released in 2025, set out to identify key environmental and lifestyle risks to children’s health. Its stated goal — to provide a modern, science-based roadmap […]

By John Coates The White House’s Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) report was supposed to be the most comprehensive blueprint yet for tackling environmental and lifestyle risks to America’s children. It reads well on paper: it names chemical threats, warns about ultra-processed foods, and even acknowledges wireless radiation as a “potential” concern. But that’s where […]

It began for me in an operating room when I was seven years old. The fluorescent lights were sharp against the cold air. When I woke up, one of my kidneys was gone. My parents had lived on a military base. Radar towers stood like steel trees on the horizon. At the time, I didn’t […]

The Clean Ether Manifesto I’ve already paid the price. When I was seven, a surgeon cut into me and took my kidney.We lived on a military base. Radar was just part of the air we breathed. Years later, my firstborn daughter died from a birth defect.Two years after she was gone, a study showed microwave […]

A Mission Manifesto for RF‑Safe Connectivity Dedication. For our children—today’s and tomorrow’s. Preface: Why I Won’t Let This Go I am writing this as a father, an engineer, and someone who has lived the costs of getting wireless policy wrong. In 1977, at seven years old, I lost a kidney. My parents were living on […]

Exposing the 140-Year Deception of Microwave Radiation — and the Path to the Light Age My truth I’ve already paid the price for the lie. At seven, I lost a kidney growing up on a military base under radar.Years later, I lost my firstborn daughter to a birth defect — years before a study showed […]

Why America’s RF-exposure rules are stuck in 1996—and how we can build a safer, faster “Light Age” Prologue: a personal reckoning I was seven when a surgeon removed my kidney. My parents lived on a military base; radar was part of the scenery. Years later, my firstborn daughter died from a neural-tube defect. Whether those […]

I am writing this as a father, an engineer, and someone who has lived the costs of getting wireless policy wrong. In 1977, at seven years old, I lost a kidney. My parents were living on a military base in Virginia Beach, Virginia, with radar in the background of our daily life. Decades later I […]

The Goldilocks Layers of Existence When most people hear the phrase “Goldilocks zone,” they think of astronomy — that delicate distance from a star where a planet is not too hot, not too cold, and water can exist in liquid form. That’s the planetary Goldilocks zone, and it’s critical for life as we know it. […]

Five generations of mobile technology have unfolded in a single lifetime. With every new “G,” antennas multiply, frequencies climb, and download speeds soar—yet the basic question that dominated the first Cold‑War microwave experiments remains unsettled today: What level of radio‑frequency (RF) exposure is truly safe for people, wildlife and the planet? The transcript you provided […]

RF Safe, founded by John Coates in 1998, isn’t simply a company selling EMF protection accessories—it’s a research-driven educational platform dedicated to advancing safer wireless technologies and setting new industry standards. 🔬 Key Innovations and Contributions: 1. Zero-SAR Li-Fi (Light Fidelity) Communication Technology RF Safe holds key patents related to highly advanced Li-Fi communication systems, […]

QuantaCase is presented as the best option for genuine radiation protection among the three, emphasizing its scientifically designed, ultra-thin, non-detachable form factor that minimizes interference with signal strength and does not feature metal parts that can enhance radiation exposure. In contrast, QuantaCase’s creators assert that SafeSleeve and DefenderShield have design flaws, such as metal components or […]

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects 1 in 36 children today—an alarming rise from approximately 1 in 10,000 in the early 1980s. Conventional discussions around autism frequently emphasize genetic factors or visible environmental risks, such as pollutants or dietary factors. However, this narrative often overlooks a critical environmental disruption quietly unfolding since the early 1980s: the […]

A new Nature Communications study has introduced an aerogel spun from melanin‑like nanofibers that rewrites the playbook on electromagnetic‑interference (EMI) shielding—and it is worth our attention at RF‑SAFE because it illustrates both the promise and the pitfalls of next‑generation, bio‑inspired barriers against microwave energy. By pre‑regulating the polymerisation of dopamine with 5‑hydroxy‑indole, the Sichuan University team coaxed the […]

Let’s call it what it is: In the United States, the same lobbyists pushing wireless tech expansion at any cost were allowed—by design—to write, enforce, and “interpret” our nation’s cell tower safety laws. The story of Tom Wheeler’s multi-decade role—CTIA president, authorship of Section 704, and FCC Chairman—is the classic example of regulatory capture in action. […]

Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) bio-effects across multiple physiological domains warrant rigorous scientific attention. Here is a comprehensive synthesis based on recent peer-reviewed evidence for six selected categories with technical precision and decisive clarity. Neurological Effects The neurological system encompasses the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves, governing cognition, motor control, sensation, and autonomic functions. Emerging research […]

Scientific Consensus: The Risk Is Real and Measurable 📊 The debate over the health risks of radiofrequency (RF) radiation is no longer speculative—it’s settled science. The National Toxicology Program (NTP) conducted a $30 million study exposing rodents to RF radiation and found “clear evidence” of carcinogenic activity, including brain and heart tumors (NTP, 2018). The […]

The preponderance of serious scientific evidence strongly supports the link between cell phone radiation and adverse health effects. In 2018, the U.S. National Toxicology Program published its $30 million rodent study, revealing “clear evidence” that radio-frequency radiation like that emitted by cell phones causes cancer in rats, specifically malignant gliomas and heart schwannomas (Wyde et […]
