Get the Facts: Dr. Martin Pall Outlines Why Non-Ionizing EMFs are Harmful to the Body

“Putting in tens of millions of 5G antennae without a single biological test of safety has got to be about the stupidest idea anyone has had in the history of the world.”

-Dr. Martin L. Pall, PhD and Professor Emeritus of Biochemistry and Basic Medical Sciences at Washington State University

In an informative interview with medical renegade Dr. Joseph Mercola, Dr. Martin Pall articulated his professional opinion on not only whether non-ionizing electromagnetic field radiation is actually harmful to humans but why. After a review of the EMF radiation related research literature he made connections that led to the compelling conclusion that EMFs’ impact on Voltage Gated Calcium Channels are creating the negative health effects seen in countless research studies.

According to Dr. Pall, researchers who have been concentrating on whether the thermal effects of EMFs are harmful have been missing a critical piece of the EMF puzzle.The harm, he believes is caused by the impact of EMF Radiation on our Voltage Gated Calcium Channels.

If this is true, consumers may have been given a false sense of security by some of the studies that assure us that non-ionizing EMF Radiation is of no real concern. If Dr. Pall is correct, our concentration on low SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) ratings for cell phones (regulated by the FCC), may not protecting us as we imagined. So, what’s the story?

EMF Radiation and Voltage Gated Calcium Channels

Voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) are critical for many bodily functions. They have an impact on cardiac action, neurotransmitter release, muscle and neurological functions. At rest,Voltage Gated Calcium Channels are closed. When there is a voltage change, they are open. Dr. Pall asserts that EMF Radiation causes them to open and allow too much calcium to enter.

In a quote from an illuminating paper he wrote on the subject of EMF harm he states (speaking of health damage credited to EMFs in the research literature):

“Each of these effects is produced via the main mechanism of action of microwave/lower frequency EMFs, activation of voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) (Chapter 2). Each of them is produced via what are called downstream effects of VGCC activation. It follows from this that we have a good understanding not only that these effects occur, but also how they can occur. The extraordinary sensitivity of the VGCC voltage sensor to the forces of the EMFs tells us that the current safety guidelines allow us to be exposed to EMF levels that are something like 27.2 million times too high. That sensitivity is predicted by the physics. Therefore,the physics and the biology are each pointing to the same mechanism of action of non-thermal EMFs.”
