Science and Research
There is mounting evidence worldwide, contained in reputable peer reviewed and published studies and journals, showing adverse biological effects from low-frequency, radiofrequency fields.
Governmental health protection agencies are reluctant to recognize new studies as relevant, claiming that more research is needed over an extended period of time before any protective measures need to be taken.
There is already substantial and compelling research in this field. In view of the unprecedented speed with which wireless technologies are being deployed and adopted, many highly respected scientists have repeatedly presented credible, insightful, brave and forward-looking evidence with minimal funding or support. Based on results and careful observation, they are saying that strong evidence warrants caution.
Just as harm from wireless technologies has not been proven to the satisfaction of our present governments, neither have they ever been proven to be safe. Due to the fact that there are no unaffected populations left, there can be no "control" for traditional experimentation.
Until such time as wireless technologies and infrastructure are proven to be safe, our old paradigm is sorely lacking.

Electromagnetic Fields and Leakage of the Blood Brain Barrier
Dr. Leif Salford, neurosurgeon and researcher (with additional links to other video)
"The following video is a presentation of Dr. Leif Salford, neurosurgeon and researcher, discussing his animal studies on radio frequency radiation and its effects on the brain. "Dr. Salford," writes Arthur Firstenberg in his paper Silent Wireless Spring, "exposed over 1600 experimental animals to low level microwave radiation. Their results were consistent and worrisome: microwave radiation. . ..caused the blood-brain barrier . . .to leak." (It was repeated in 2003 on 32 additional animals; they waited this time 8 weeks before "sacrificing them"-and found "up to two percent of the neurons in all areas of the brain were shrunken and degenerated."Dr. Salford, says Firstenberg, called the "potential implications 'terrifying.'"
"An argument is sometimes made (not necessarily accurately) to those who express concern about radiation from "smart" meters, Wi Fi, etc, that the radiation emitted from these devices is at such a low level that the public needn't worry about it. However Dr. Salford's studies showed opening up of the blood brain barrier from very low levels of radiation. In fact, Cindy Sage and Dr. David Carpenter write in a 2008 paper (Public Health Implications of Wireless Technologies) it was "the weakest exposure level [which] showed the greatest effect in opening up the BBB [blood brain barrier]."
