“5G” has officially made it to the buzzword
status, and is now in the news worldwide
— in some countries more than others. For
example, filmmaker and EMF activist Josh Del
Sol reported that 5G is a topic that carries as
much media weight in Switzerland as climate
change!1

But what’s the rational truth about 5G? Should

you be worried? Reassured? What does science
really say about the health risks associated
with this vast increase in radiation exposure?

This short report will shed some light on all of

these questions, and help you make informed
decisions about how you use technology.

Enjoy the read,

What the Heck is
5G?
“5G” stands for the 5th generation of wireless
cellular technology. In plain English, 5G promises a
dramatic transformation in the wireless technology
we currently have, lighting-fast download speed and
ubiquitous connectivity.

5G uses a mix of frequencies that are currently used

by 2G to 4G networks (0.6 to 7.1 GHz), but also new An All-Too-Classic Mistake:
frequencies that are much, much higher on the These Are NOT 5G Networks!
EMF (electromagnetic field) spectrum. These
higher frequencies fall into what’s called the
“millimeter wave” range (mmW) — and might
go from 24 GHz to about 71 GHz.2

One of the most common concerns about 5G

is the fact that it requires an unprecedentedly
high number of new cellular antennas to be
installed — up to one new antenna on every
block in downtown areas, and every few
homes in residential areas.

For example, in the city of Montreal alone,

the 5G rollout would require increasing the
number of antennas by up to 50-fold — from
1,200 3G/4G antennas to about 60,000 new
antennas with 5G capabilities.3

The “5G” you might see on

WiFi networks around you
stands for “5.8 GigaHertz” —
the frequency at which they
operate — and not the “5th
generation of wireless cellular
technology”.

Are 1G to 4G Technologies Even
Safe?
“Houston, I’m pretty sure we have a problem” — because these “older” wireless
technologies are definitely not safe in the first place.

While a lot of mainstream health institutions cling to the idea that “there’s no clear link
between EMF radiation and health”, hundreds of independent scientists worldwide say the
exact opposite. In their expert view, the thousands of available peer-reviewed studies on
EMFs clearly demonstrate that our current exposure to 2G/3G/4G, WiFi and BluetoothEMF
radiation is linked to a myriad of negative health effects4 — and that the last sane thing to
do would be to increase our global wireless exposure further.

It took me nothing short of an entire book (and years of research) to explain the short
version of why EMFs aren’t safe, so I obviously won’t be able to lay out all the science and
build a rock solid argument in this short report. But here are a few scientific facts that
speak for themselves:

1. Radiofrequency EMFs (cell phones, cell towers, WiFi, Bluetooth) are a Class
2B “possible” carcinogen, but several leading EMF scientists now argue that
based on new studies published in the last decade, it should be reclassified as a
“Class 1” definite carcinogen (just like smoking and asbestos).⁵ Ouch.

2. EMF “safety” guidelines haven’t been updated since 1996,6 and are based
on very short-term exposure to ONE device — which is completely unrealistic
considering how much we use technology these days.

3. The link between EMFs and reduced fertility in men is very strong. That’s
why top fertility researchers at the Cleveland Clinic tell men to avoid keeping
their phones in their pocket.7 Regardless of that fact, 67% of all Canadian adults
do it every day.8

 4. Leading functional medicine doctors
such as Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, PhD
have observed that EMFs are at the very
root cause of many “Mystery” symptoms
experienced by their patients, including
insomnia, fatigue, depression, memory loss
and digestive issues.9

5. Growing children’s brains are

especially at risk, since their head absorbs
twice the radiation compared to adults.10
This is especially concerning since a 2014
survey by the American Academy for
Pediatrics found out that up to 75% of 4-year
old children in certain neighborhoods
possess their own cell phone!11 Since our

ensuring it is safe and effective!

Scientists who are experts in how EMFs impact humans on a cellular level, such as
Dr. Martin Pall, professor emeritus from Washington State University, are extremely
concerned about 5G — to say the least. Dr. Pall doesn’t put it lightly: “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.”12

Science has already shown that 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE networks are already causing health
issues — and that the real consequences of these exposures might be seen decades from
now. You don’t have to answer because this is purely rhetorical: do you think that 5G will
be any different, and that adding it to the mix of electrosmog we’re bathed with is really
“smart”?

What we do know about 5G is that the higher-frequency millimeter waves (mmW) that will
be used widely within a few years’ time are not safe.

Researcher Dr. Cindy Russel has reviewed the available science on mmW in 201813 and
concluded that “the addition of this added high frequency 5G radiation to an already
complex mix of lower frequencies, will contribute to a negative public health outcome,
both from physical and mental health perspectives.”

Among other things, she found that mmW radiation is linked with effects on the immune
system, a potential increase in antibiotic-resistance, an increase in the functional
impairment of those with electrohypersensitivity demonstrating a number of EMF-related
symptoms, and effects on the eyes and skin.

Millimeter Waves: A Distraction
From The Real Issue?
A lot of people who talk about the problems with 5G often focus on the high frequency
millimeter waves (mmW) that the technology will use. But as top engineer and close
collaborator Pawel Wypychowski14 kindly reminded me in a recent email exchange, mmW
are just the tip of the iceberg.

In reality, the main problem with 5G — and with 6G, 7G and however many G’s they’ll come
up with in future decades — is how “artificial” the new signals are.

In plain English, what will likely make 5G much more harmful to our biology than previous
technologies is that the EMF signals it emits will be much more chaotic.

Pawel explains that the biological impacts of EMFs are not just related to the frequency a
signal has:

“There are at least three even more important factors than frequency alone which makes
5G more dangerous:

• Communication bandwidth, which refers to the range of frequencies used

in communication simultaneously (i.e., the width of the communication
channel) – which is much wider in 5G in the mmWave band

• Modulation scheme, which refers to different techniques used by industry

to modify signals and improve connectivity – will be much more complex
and most probably much more disturbing biologically with 5G

• Polarization, which refers to the orientation of an EMF signal – is again

much more complex for 5G. The industry will use new techniques such as
beam-forming and “massive-MIMO”, which will likely make the signal much
more disturbing biologically

For the non-geeks out there, this simply means that the more engineers tamper with an
EMF signal to improve its speed and fidelity, the more chaotic and foreign it becomes to
our body. This has been confirmed numerous times by researchers such as Blackman15 and
Panagopoulos.16

The bottomline to this entire EMF debate is this:

In a world where the health impacts of 2G to 4G technologies are just emerging, it’s pretty
darn irresponsible to add 5G to the mix instead of actively reducing our global exposure
to this “electrosmog”. This is why very credible organizations such as the Swiss Federation
of Doctors15 are taking a firm stand against the 5G rollout.

“What Can I Do About It?”

Thanks for ruining my day, Nick.

You know, I realize that the entire topic can seem daunting at first. I’ve been spending
most of my waking hours the last 3 years researching, writing and doing advocacy for a
pretty doom-and-gloom topic, so... I feel ‘ya.

The truth is that once you learn this information, you too can become part of this
movement towards global change, and help shape the future of technology.

Here are four important ways you can take action:

1) Visit 5GCrisis.com and get involved

There are a lot of incredible grassroots organizations out there, but one in particular has
caught my eye. A group called “Americans for Responsible Technology” has launched the
5G Crisis initiative to help large groups of people in various communities mobilize and
take a common front against 5G.

If you want to get involved and do your part to show that you don’t want unsafe
technology installed in your city or state, it is one of the best organizations to follow.

2) Reduce your EMF exposure as much as possible

In case you haven’t read it yet, my book The Non-Tinfoil Guide to EMFs is still recognized
as one of the best resources around to learn everything you can do to reduce your EMF
exposure.

Remember that your cumulative EMF load is what matters most. So even with 5G around,
simple steps such as turning your phone on Airplane Mode as often as you can (especially
at night or when you carry it on the body) still matters.

If you want to go a step further, I highly recommend hiring an EMF mitigation specialist
from one of these 3 organizations. These professionals will take precise EMF readings in
your home or workplace and help you reduce minimize your exposure:

• Find a Building Biologist

• Find a Geovital consultant
• Find a Shielded Healing consultant

3) Reduce your overall use of wireless

New, faster, and potentially harmful wireless technologies are being rolled out because
users demand it and there’s money to be made… never forget that.

This means that each time you choose wired ethernet cables over wifi, cut down on your
cell phone use and use corded landline telephones instead, and avoid Bluetooth and
other so-called “smart” technologies, you’re sending a clear message to the industry. Your
individual power is greater than you think!

4) Stay informed about 5G and the future of technology

I dedicate most of my waking hours updating my website and podcast on the various ways
you can use technology more safely. Visit TheEMFGuy.com often and make sure you stay
subscribed to my newsletter to stay in the know.

science at the time (including Ronald Melnick, Dariusz Leszczynski, Anthony Miller, Lennart
Hardell and many more) are now saying that using the exact same scientific criteria,
EMFs should be re-classified as a Class 2A or 1 carcinogen. See this recent epidemiology

hundreds of doctors specialized in environmental medicine worldwide, such as those
who are part of the European Academy for Environmental Medicine (EUROPAEM) and the
