The elements in our bodies, like sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, have a specific electrical charge. Almost all of our cells can use these charged elements, called ions, to generate electricity.
The contents of the cell are protected from the outside environment by a cell membrane. This cell membrane is made up of lipids that create a barrier that only certain substances can cross to reach the cell interior. Not only does the cell membrane function as a barrier to molecules, it also acts as a way for the cell to generate electrical currents. Resting cells are negatively charged on the inside, while the outside environment is more positively charged. This is due to a slight imbalance between positive and negative ions inside and outside the cell. Cells can achieve this charge separation by allowing charged ions to flow in and out through the membrane. The flow of charges across the cell membrane is what generates electrical currents.
Cells control the flow of specific charged elements across the membrane with proteins that sit on the cell surface and create an opening for certain ions to pass through. These proteins are called ion channels. When a cell is stimulated, it allows positive charges to enter the cell through open ion channels. The inside of the cell then becomes more positively charged, which triggers further electrical currents that can turn into electrical pulses, called action potentials. Our bodies use certain patterns of action potentials to initiate the correct movements, thoughts and behaviors.
A disruption in electrical currents can lead to illness. For example, in order for the heart to pump, cells must generate electrical currents that allow the heart muscle to contract at the right time. Doctors can even observe these electrical pulses in the heart using a machine, called an electrocardiogram or ECG. Irregular electrical currents can prevent heart muscles from contracting correctly, leading to a heart attack. This is just one example showing the important role of electricity in health and disease.

Anyone who has ever taken Grade 4/5 science should know that our bodies rely on electricity to function.
Anyone who has ever used an AM/FM radio should know that frequencies effect other frequencies.
Anyone who knows both of these things should be able to wrap their head around the idea that our bodies are going to be effected (at least in some way), by the electromagnetic frequencies around us —wifi, cellular networks, etc.
However, it seems there are a substantial number of people in denial about it all. What blows my mind though, is the people who work in the tech industry specifically, that cannot grasp this concept.
If you’ve ever gone near the base of a cellular network tower, you should be well aware of just how much these wireless frequencies can effect us.
But then again, some of us are more sensitive to this sort of thing than others.
For example, a few summers ago, my lovely boyfriend and I spent the majority of our time together on his four wheeler. It was a blast, and being that I had just got out of a long spell of severe depression at the time, I would consider it to be one of the happiest summers of my life. I live in a very rural part of southwestern Ontario, Canada, where people are regularly seen on dirt bikes, ATV's, and side by sides. Since I have never been the girly-girl type, getting dirty or muddy isn’t a big deal to me. So it didn’t matter if the sun was shining, or it was pouring down rain, I was more than happy to hop on the back of the four wheeler, every chance I could. We put thousands of kilometers on that thing, that summer. Seriously.
Whenever we would be going to someones house, and they lived in a town instead of out in the country, we would often park the quad somewhere just outside of town, and walk the rest of the way. Why? Well, the police like to bother people that drive their ATV's in town, regardless if they are plated for the road or not, and since no one likes to be regularly stopped by the cops, parking outside of town prevented us from having to deal with that annoyance. Most of the time, we would find a bush (forest) to park in. That way the quad would be out of sight, from any potential thieves. However, there wasn’t always a bush available to park in, depending on where we would go. One place we would regularly go didn't provide much of a convenient place to park at all, and most of the time we would end up parking at the base of a tall cell phone tower in the long grass. All it took was about a minute with my helmet off, for me to have a headache, feel nauseous, and put my helmet right back on, until walking a good distance away. My boyfriend however, thought I might have been overreacting about this, until one evening he had to put more air in one of the tires, and we took a bit longer than usual to leave the base of the tower, and I ended up ripping my helmet off of my head, and throwing up everywhere. As much as he thought this was funny, he also knew that I was definitely not overreacting. I guess he must not be as sensitive as I am, to wireless frequencies. Lucky him.
Anyways, back to the point..
There is a lot of publicly available scientific literature on the effects of EMF/ELF/RF on people. Here are a few pieces, and what they have to say:
Human-made electromagnetic fields: Ion forced-oscillation and voltage-gated ion channel dysfunction, oxidative stress and DNA damage (Review)
Dimitris J. Panagopoulos, Andreas Karabarbounis, [...], and George P. Chrousos
To the best of our knowledge, the present study provides for the first time a complete and precise biophysical/biochemical picture to explain the great number of experimental and epidemiological findings connecting human-made EMF exposure with DNA damage and related pathologies such as cancer, infertility and neurodegenerative diseases.
The long-existing experimental and epidemiological findings connecting exposure to human-made EMFs and DNA damage, infertility and cancer, are now explained by the presented complete mechanism. The present study should provide a basis for further research and encourage health authorities to take measures for the protection of life on Earth against unrestricted use of human-made EMFs.
Manmade Electromagnetic Fields and Oxidative Stress—Biological Effects and Consequences for Health
David Schuermann and Meike Mevissen
In summary, indications for increased oxidative stress caused by RF-EMF and ELF-MF were reported in the majority of the animal studies and in more than half of the cell studies. Investigations in Wistar and Sprague-Dawley rats provided consistent evidence for oxidative stress occurring after RF-EMF exposure in the brain and testes and some indication of oxidative stress in the heart. Observations in Sprague-Dawley rats also seem to provide consistent evidence for oxidative stress in the liver and kidneys. In mice, oxidative stress induced by RF-EMF was predominantly demonstrated in the brain and testes, as well as in liver, kidneys, and ovaries. These observations were made with a variety of cell types, exposure times, and dosages (SAR or field strengths), within the range of the regulatory limits and recommendations. Certainly, some studies were subject to methodological uncertainties or weaknesses or are not very comprehensive regarding exposure time, dose, number, and quantitative analysis of the biomarkers used, to name a few. A trend is emerging, which becomes clear even when taking these methodological weaknesses into account, i.e., that EMF exposure, even in the low dose range, may well lead to changes in cellular oxidative balance. Organisms and cells are able to react to oxidative stress, and many observations after EMF exposure point to an adaptation after a recovery phase. Adverse conditions, such as diseases (diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases), compromise the body’s defense mechanisms, including antioxidant protection mechanisms, and individuals with such pre-existing conditions are more likely to experience health effects. The studies show that very young or old individuals can react less efficiently to oxidative stress, which of course also applies to other stressors that cause oxidative stress. Further investigations under standardized conditions are necessary to better understand and confirm these phenomena and observations.
The interaction between electromagnetic fields at megahertz, gigahertz and terahertz frequencies with cells, tissues and organisms: risks and potential
Sergii Romanenko, Ryan Begley, [...], and Vincent P. Wallace
In summary, there is now substantial evidence pointing to terahertz interactions with biological matter, ranging from simple molecules like water, ionized salts and nitric oxide, to complex biopolymers such as DNA, sugars and proteins, and to cells and whole tissues. Terahertz radiation may be used in various ways ranging from probing biological samples, defining its properties and chemical content, to medical applications for diagnostics and discriminating between healthy tissues and its pathological variants. This list will undoubtedly be expanded further to the potential use of terahertz for modification of molecules and their properties, control of enzymatic reactions and perhaps to modify transcription of proteins in biotechnology.
So now that you know I am not just making this up, I want to briefly touch on the topic of Covid, and 5G. I know, I know.. “crazy conspiracy theorist”.. but hear me out, because I am not alone on this idea.
The following piece is rather long, but well worth the read.
Evidence for a connection between coronavirus disease-19 and exposure to radiofrequency radiation from wireless communications including 5G
Beverly Rubik and Robert R. Brown
There is a substantial overlap in pathobiology between COVID-19 and WCR exposure. The evidence presented here indicates that mechanisms involved in the clinical progression of COVID-19 could also be generated, according to experimental data, by WCR exposure. Therefore, we propose a link between adverse bioeffects of WCR exposure from wireless devices and COVID-19.
Specifically, evidence presented here supports a premise that WCR and, in particular, 5G, which involves densification of 4G, may have exacerbated the COVID-19 pandemic by weakening host immunity and increasing SARS-CoV-2 virulence by (1) causing morphologic changes in erythrocytes including echinocyte and rouleaux formation that may be contributing to hypercoagulation; (2) impairing microcirculation and reducing erythrocyte and hemoglobin levels exacerbating hypoxia; (3) amplifying immune dysfunction, including immunosuppression, autoimmunity, and hyperinflammation; (4) increasing cellular oxidative stress and the production of free radicals exacerbating vascular injury and organ damage; (5) increasing intracellular Ca2+ essential for viral entry, replication, and release, in addition to promoting pro-inflammatory pathways; and (6) worsening heart arrhythmias and cardiac disorders.
WCR exposure is a widespread, yet often neglected, environmental stressor that can produce a wide range of adverse bioeffects. For decades, independent research scientists worldwide have emphasized the health risks and cumulative damage caused by WCR [42,45]. The evidence presented here is consistent with a large body of established research. Healthcare workers and policymakers should consider WCR a potentially toxic environmental stressor. Methods for reducing WCR exposure should be provided to all patients and the general population.
And this is not the only piece of scientific literature that connects Covid to 5G.
But what I am getting at is, if this wireless radiation can cause all the same problems that Covid causes, how can we be so sure that it isn’t just the wireless radiation? I personally believe that “viruses” are just micro-organisms. Our bodies have tons of micro-organisms inside, and out. It's when you have an imbalance of such, or you have micro-organisms inside of you, that are from someone or something else, that you get sick. There is publicly available scientific literature on this, as well, but I will get into that more in another post.
I just wanted to lay a bit of a foundation in this piece, before really getting into the whole Covid/5G thing.
Anyways, thanks for taking the time to read this.
Let me know what your thoughts are.

Brilliant!
I've not looked into this so I don't know, but wonder whether the spanish flu could have been caused by the installation of the first long-distance high-voltage transmission lines.
