#692: Are cell phone microwaves addictive?
From a program aired on “Your Own Health and Fitness”

Highlights:
Researcher Cindy Sage discussed the science reporting that
exposure to RF from cell phones can activate the endogenous
opioid system of the brain – the addictive center of the brain. If so,
then we should be considering these devices as “medical treatments”
that are similar to pharmaceutical or therapeutic treatments.
There is very solid evidence that both ELF-EMF and RF-EMF can
be effective as therapeutic medical treatments for bone repair
and wound healing – and at levels that are far below current FCC
and ICNIRP standards. That is proof of concept that low-intensity
pulsed fields are bioactive, and can be therapeutic. However,
indiscriminate, inadvertent, unintended ELF and RF exposures make about
as much sense as indiscriminate drug use. We should recognize that
inherent health risks from both are of public health relevance.
