EMF must be further explored as a contributing factor to poor health in humans, plants and animals. Every physical system that features a voltage drop is inherently sensitive to electromagnetic frequencies (EMF). Anything with a voltage drop, including human, animal, and plant cells, will respond to electromagnetic frequency. This is a fundamental law of physics: a voltage drop implies the presence of an electric field and moving or resting electrical charges (electrons or ions). Living cells function exactly like miniature, dynamic batteries. Every living cell maintains a strict resting membrane potential (a voltage drop across the cell membrane, typically around -70 millivolts). Because electromagnetic waves are composed of oscillating electric and magnetic fields, they physically interact with these charges, exerting forces that alter their behavior. Allowing the world and children to be bathed in varying EMF is irresponsible and unscientific. Various frequencies must be fully studied. Cancer rates are high and getting higher every few years, I can't take the "war on cancer" seriously until chemicals and electromagnetic frequencies are studied and taken seriously. Depression and anxiety are also common. We have a very sick society. Health is wealth. Many studies show change in calcium channel gates and thus biological stress, inflammation, and chronic inflammation leads to various diseases. I strongly believe that EMF affects health. Multiple studies supports my belief. Here is one: Scientific evidence invalidates health assumptions underlying the FCC and ICNIRP exposure limit determinations for radiofrequency radiation: implications for 5G. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s12940-022-00900-9
