The Truth Expedition & the Silent Signal: Why EMF Policy Now Shapes Our Biology

From Personal Loss to a Life in EMF Safety

RF Safe did not start as a marketing idea. It began as a promise.

In 1995 my firstborn daughter, Angel Leigh, died with a neural‑tube defect. In the aftermath, the only actionable signal in the literature was folate, so I did what a grieving engineer‑dad could do: I funded newspaper campaigns urging women of child‑bearing age to get enough folic acid and B‑vitamins before and during early pregnancy.

A few years later, an embryo study (Farrell et al., 1997) showing EMF‑induced neural‑tube anomalies in chick embryos collided with that grief and my electrical‑engineering background. The idea that non‑native electromagnetic fields could mistime developmental events was not abstract to me—it was personal. RF Safe officially launched in 1998, but the work started the day I promised Angel I would fight whatever took her life.

The S4–Mito–Spin Framework: Why Some Tissues Are Hit First

On the show we walked through the backbone of the S4–Mito–Spin framework—three layers that turn weak, non‑ionizing fields into real biological noise:

1. S4: Voltage Sensors in Ion Channels

Every excitable cell—neurons, cardiac fibers, endocrine cells, immune cells—relies on voltage‑gated ion channels. These channels use a positively charged S4 segment as a sensor. When the membrane voltage changes by just a few millivolts, S4 moves, the gate opens or shuts, and you get a calcium burst, an action potential, or a hormone pulse.

Polarized RF and ELF fields do not have to “cook” tissue to matter. They simply need to add timing noise to those voltage sensors. A little jitter at the wrong time in development can mean a neural tube that does not close, or a synapse that does not wire up right.

2. Mito: Feedback Amplification in Mitochondria

Downstream of those calcium and sodium pulses sit mitochondria, the redox engines of the cell. They read the timing and amplitude of ion spikes as instructions: speed ATP up, slow it down, open the apoptosis program, turn on inflammatory signals.

When S4 timing is noisy, mitochondrial response is noisy. That means chronic reactive oxygen species (ROS), impaired repair, and slow drift away from healthy set‑points in tissues like the brain, heart, testes, pancreas, and immune system.

3. Spin: Radical Pairs & Red‑Blood‑Cell Collapse

The third pillar we covered is spin chemistry—radical pairs in heme and flavin cofactors. Even in cells with no mitochondria and no classic S4 channels, like mature red blood cells, you still have massive heme and flavin density.

Weak fields can bias these radical‑pair reactions, shifting the redox balance and the zeta potential at the red‑cell membrane. That is one plausible route to explain why we see red‑blood cells stack, clump, and slow in low‑shear veins under real‑world RF exposures. The net effect: stickier blood, poorer microcirculation, and a body that has to work harder to move oxygen and clear waste.

EMF as an Etiological Factor in Immune, Autoimmune & Inflammatory Disease

During the podcast, we talked about how non‑native EMFs are not just a “background irritant,” but a candidate etiological factor in diseases where immune signaling, inflammation, and cellular communication go off the rails.

• Autoimmune drift: Noisy calcium signaling in T‑ and B‑cells can confuse the “self vs danger” code, tilting the system toward chronic activation.
• Neuroinflammation: Glial cells bathed in RF/ELF noise respond with ROS and inflammatory cytokines, slowly changing the brain’s baseline.
• Endocrine and fertility impacts: Leydig cells, germ cells, and pancreatic β‑cells all sit at the high‑risk end of the S4–Mito–Spin map—high channel density, high mitochondria, low antioxidant buffer.

The through‑line is simple: non‑ionizing does not mean non‑interactive. Fields couple to charges. Charges live in channels and redox systems. When the environment permanently injects timing noise, we devolve one calcium‑ion burst at a time.

Engineering, Interferometry & Why the FCC Rulebook Is Out of Date

Mark and Gunnar also let me put my engineering hat on for a bit. We talked about how interferometric field patterns—layers of waves adding and subtracting in complex ways—make a mockery of the simplistic “average SAR” view baked into today’s standards.

Safety rules that only look at bulk heating ignore:

• Local hot spots where geometry and reflections focus fields into tiny regions of tissue.
• The way pulsed and modulated signals can drive forced oscillations of ions near the membrane.
• The reality that vulnerable tissues are not water bags; they are dense arrays of channels, mitochondria, and spin‑sensitive cofactors.

That is why I say the problem is not “mystery biology.” It is out‑of‑date physics in the rulebook.

Section 704, Public Law 90‑602 & Kennedy’s Mandate

A big portion of our conversation dug into the policy scaffolding that keeps us stuck:

Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act (1996)

Section 704 effectively gags local communities. As long as an antenna complies with the FCC’s decades‑old RF limits, cities and towns are not allowed to deny permits on the basis of health or environmental concerns. It doesn’t matter what new science has emerged. It doesn’t matter what local parents see in their own neighborhoods.

Public Law 90‑602 (1968)

Public Law 90‑602 gave the federal government—and agencies like FDA and HHS—a clear mandate: minimize unnecessary electronic product radiation. That includes non‑ionizing sources. In practice, RF standards have been frozen in a thermal‑only world, and cancer research that showed clear signals has been quietly parked.

Kennedy’s responsibility in the Congressional mandate

We also talked about how leaders who built their public reputations on environmental and children’s health issues now sit closer to the levers of power. With that proximity comes responsibility to enforce the laws already on the books—especially Public Law 90‑602—and to stop pretending that non‑native EMFs are a “nothing burger” just because you can’t see them.

Policy, Not Technology, Is Holding Us Back

One of the key messages I wanted listeners to leave with is that technology is not the bottleneck. We already know how to reduce the RF burden dramatically:

• Fibre to the home and ethernet inside buildings.
• LiFi and other optical systems for high‑speed local connectivity.
• Smarter, lower‑duty‑cycle architectures outdoors.
• Physics‑first accessories that avoid detuning antennas or forcing phones to transmit harder.

What blocks this is policy inertia, regulatory capture, and the fiction that SAR is a sufficient yardstick for safety. Until we update the rulebook, we will keep driving biology through a minefield with the headlights off.

Practical Steps You Can Take Today

At the end of the episode, we tried to bring it back to action—what a family, a community, or a policymaker can do right now:

1. Tighten Your Personal EMF Habits

• Keep phones and tablets off the body whenever possible—use speakerphone, wired headsets, and airplane mode.
• Shut off Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth when you do not need them; don’t sleep with a router in the bedroom.
• Use physics‑aware tools like TruthCase™ that shield between you and the phone without forcing the device to “scream” for a signal.

2. Rewire Your Spaces

• Favour wired connections at home and work, especially for kids’ devices and long‑duration use.
• Push schools and workplaces toward LiFi and wired‑first layouts instead of dense Wi‑Fi meshes.

3. Push for Policy Change

• Support efforts to repeal or reform Section 704 so communities can again consider health in siting decisions.
• Demand that HHS and FDA enforce Public Law 90‑602 and restart long‑term RF research programmes.
• Ask your representatives to treat S4–Mito–Spin‑style mechanisms seriously when they evaluate RF safety, not just thermal averages.

4. Share & Educate

• Watch and share the episodes on Rumble, especially with people who have never heard a mechanistic case for non‑thermal EMF effects.
• Point friends and colleagues to the RF Safe research library and SAR tools so they can explore the data themselves.

I am grateful to Mark and Gunnar for giving this topic serious airtime. If the conversation resonates with you, please watch, share, and—most importantly—act. Our biology is not negotiable, but our policies are.

Be RF Safe to be sure.
