RF currents are subtler than lower frequency waves, in that contact with them does not cause muscle contraction and pain. Rather, they skim surfaces in a shallower manner, known as Skin Effect.
RF wave patterns so rapidly change direction, that they don’t cause nerve tissue to depolarize, triggering pain sensors. However, RF frequencies have similar frequency and thermal effect as microwaves used in microwave oven technology and have the ability to rapidly heat biological tissue, and elevate internal body temperature, without stimulating the nerves to sense pain. This property makes infants, children, and fetuses in utero, whose tissues are more delicate, most vulnerable to RF damage, as well as more delicate parts of adult anatomy, such as eyes, ears, and glandular structures near the ears, and testes.
Because RF waves are non-polarizing, unlike common AC current, they are non-ionizing. In the past, researchers held the belief that RF frequencies could not stimulate tumor or cancer growth, or other tissue damage, because RF doesn’t produce free radical ions.
But current research shows a large and growing body of empirical and peer reviewed evidence that the thermal effect of RF can negatively target human tissue via a different pathway. It interferes with the body’s ability to heal cellular damage. A strong connection is emerging showing a relationship between heavy proximity of RF devices and specific cancers of the testes, as well as tumors, both benign and malignant, of the parotid gland, a part of the salivary system located near the ear.
And there is a very large body of research, from all over the globe, cautioning parents and schools to be aware of potential damage to the much more delicate cranial structures of toddlers and children, whose ear, eye, and cranial tissue are not as guarded by greater adult depth and bone thickness, making them exposed to RF frequency’s shallow Skin Effect.
