Health Supreme

Exposure to cell phones and wi-fi radiation causes leakage in the blood-brain barrier, the brain's first line of defense against infections and toxic chemicals. 

Researchers in 13 other laboratories in 6 different countries had reported the same effect, but no one had proven whether it would lead to any damage in the long term. Then, in a study published June 2003 in Environmental Health Perspectives, Salford’s team repeated the experiment on 32 additional animals, but this time waited eight weeks before examining their brains. In those animals that had been exposed to a cell phone, up to two percent of the neurons in all areas of the brain were shrunken and degenerated.

Dr. Salford called the potential implications of this research “terrifying. We have good reason to believe that what happens in rats’ brains also happens in humans.” Referring to today’s children and teenagers, the study’s authors wrote that “a whole generation of users may suffer negative effects, perhaps as early as middle age.” 

An argument is sometimes posed to those who express concern about radiation from “smart” meters, Wi Fi etc., that the radiation emitted from these devices is at such low levels that the public needn’t worry about it. However this is not necessarily accurate. Dr. Salford’s studies showed opening up of the blood brain barrier from even very low levels of radiation exposure. 

Cindy Sage and Dr. David Carpenter explained in a 2008 paper published in the peer-reviewed journal Pathophysiology, entitled Public Health Implications of Wireless Technologies, that it is actually “the weakest exposure level [which] showed the greatest effect in opening up the BBB [blood brain barrier].”
