A Key Scientific Papers of the Past Year Reveals Electromagnetic Field Risks to Almost All Life on Earth and can be freely downloaded [1].
A major scientific synthesis by Henshaw and Philips (2024), ranked among one of the most read papers in the International Journal of Radiation Biology over the past year. The paper reveals something extraordinary and deeply alarming.
Almost all life on Earth is magnetosensitive
From bacteria to plants, insects, fish, birds, mammals and humans, living systems evolved to detect and rely on the Earth’s magnetic field.
Man-made electromagnetic fields, including phone masts, 5G networks, Wi-Fi, smart meters, wearable devices, the internet of things and satellites, can interfere with this ancient biological system.
This is not new science.
It is long-established research that has finally been brought together, showing the full scale of the problem for humans, wildlife and ecosystems.
A HIDDEN ECOLOGICAL AND HUMAN CRISIS
Hundreds of studies document disruptions across the living world:
- Bees and pollinators lose their ability to navigate, threatening food systems
- Birds, including migratory species, become disoriented
- Insects experience circadian disruption and population declines
- Plants show altered growth and stress responses
- Fish, amphibians and marine life lose magnetic orientation
- Microorganisms, the foundation of ecosystems, behave abnormally
- Humans experience biological effects consistent with electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS)
Can you name another human-made substance that risks the health of the entire living world?
THE MORAL AND BIOLOGICAL TRUTH
What we are doing is unprecedented
We are placing the entire web of life at risk for the sake of wireless convenience
- Faster downloads
- Instant gaming
- Wireless phone calls when a wired line works just as well or even better
- Smart gadgets we do not need
This is sacrificing life for convenience
All life on Earth is being asked to carry the burden of our wireless lifestyle, not by choice, not with consent, and without adequate safety standards. The result is ecological collapse in slow motion.
A BETTER WAY EXISTS – WIRED TECHNOLOGIES
We are not anti-technology
We are pro-life, for all life
Humanity does not need to abandon connectivity
We need to upgrade it safely
Wired networks are:
- More secure
- More energy-efficient
- Safer for humans and all life
Examples: fibre to the premises, ethernet indoors, wired broadband in schools, wired networks in cities and workplaces
PLANETARY CALL TO ACTION
We call on:
- Governments
- Regulators including ICNIRP, WHO and OFCOM
- Local councils and planning authorities
- Environmental and conservation organisations
- Wildlife charities
- Public health bodies
- Citizens worldwide
To urgently:
- Freeze further wireless densification in sensitive areas including schools, homes, nature reserves, migratory routes and pollinator corridors
- Overhaul EMF safety standards as current limits ignore biological and ecological effects
- Require environmental impact assessments for all wireless infrastructure
- Recognise electromagnetic hypersensitivity as biologically real
- Transition to wired technologies
The Wake-Up Call for Humanity
Faster downloads and wireless convenience are costing the Earth its life. Electromagnetic fields are unprecedented in their danger. Is it worth it?
As Robert O. Becker, twice nominated for the Nobel Prize, said:
“I have no doubt in my mind that at the present time the greatest polluting element in the Earth’s environment is the proliferation of electromagnetic fields.”
Becker, who spent decades studying the effects of electromagnetic fields on living organisms, considered this a threat far greater than chemical pollution or global warming
These words are a call to action. We cannot continue sacrificing the living world for wireless convenience. The time to act is now, for humans, wildlife and the entire biosphere
