Why Have They Stopped Cellphone Radiation Research?
U.S. Federal agencies are cancelling research, differing significantly from Europe’s more precautionary approach to cellphones. Decades of animal research point to serious health risks from cellphone radiation exposure, but examining a possible link stops now.
The National Toxicology Program (NTP), tasked with studying potential toxins, recently announced it would no longer investigate evidence that cellphone radiation can harm animals or people. The move stunned scientists like Devra Davis, a former senior adviser to the assistant secretary for Health in the Department of Health and Human Services, who called the abrupt reversal scientifically unjustified.
Unpublished NTP Research Undermines Decision to Halt Cellphone Radiation Studies
The NTP recently claimed that additional radiofrequency radiation (RFR) studies are not planned, stating the research was “technically challenging and more resource-intensive than expected.”
Ms. Davis criticized this decision, noting that technical challenges are not a reason to avoid studying something that appears to cause cancer in animals. “Everything that we know for sure causes cancer in people will produce it in animals when adequately studied,” she added.
Ms. Davis, a former NTP advisor, said she helped recommend smaller test chambers. The agency takes years to plan studies, so scrapping this project is “beyond my comprehension at this point,” given millions of children’s daily exposure, she noted.
In an emailed statement, the NTP confirmed that although work on the small-scale exposure system and accompanying research has been completed, the results will be publicly available and posted on the agency’s webpage only “when internal reviews are finished.” As of this writing, the 2019 research remains unpublished.
Court Finds FCC Illegally Ignored 5G Health Risks
The NTP published results in 2018 from two-year toxicology studies showing “clear evidence” of associations between 2G/3G cellphone radiation and tumors in male rats. Follow-up research in 2019 revealed DNA damage in the brains, livers, and blood cells of exposed rats and mice.
Despite originally requesting and overseeing these studies, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has since dismissed the NTP’s findings, Ms. Davis said.
FCC Let Carriers Abandon Landlines
Since 2019, France has mandated cellphones include warnings to keep such devices away from teens and pregnant women’s lower abdomens because of radiation risks. The European Union also funds extensive research on RFR hazards.
“So why are we ignoring animal study results showing harm?” Ms. Davis said. “There’s only one reason: because there’s so much money involved.”
Landlines offered an alternative to cellphones, but the FCC’s 2019 order let carriers abandon copper lines. Companies like Verizon have begun retiring landlines, leaving consumers with only wireless options.
- Not carrying phones in pockets or bras
- Using speakerphone and holding phones away from the head/body
- Keeping devices away from reproductive organs
- Using wired over WiFi internet
- Not sleeping near phones

the world use to look to the USA for safety standards..
But with the massive influx of MONEY, those people responsible for
assuring the quality of safety standards, has dropped below the floor of
common reason, into the realm of miss-information and out right fraud..
.
Those public servants, responsible for insuring honest and responsible science,
have sold-out just as completely as those doing the research..
.
For those humans looking for honest answers to safety question over technology,
Have NO where to turn..
A large grain of SALT and a Heavy dose of Common Sense, is the only thing saving,
many with questions..
.
It would go a long way to helping the situation, by eliminating “Patents”, “Trademarks” and
“Proprietary Rights”, to anything related to health care or human safety..
.
Peer Review, is in general just an echo chamber for Slaves to Free Money or public/professional advancement..
and as such should NOT be the standard for the validity of research or discoveries..
.
Health Care and Human Safety should be public to anyone with a desire to aid
and improve the human condition…
. . .

“Why Have They Stopped Cellphone Radiation Research?” Because they know exactly how to kill us all, and we should know that.

Optogenetics is on the rise, can’t have pesky research getting in the way.
