2 postsThe 140-Year Low-Fidelity Experiment
This RF Safe position piece argues that long-term exposure to “non-native,” low-fidelity electromagnetic environments (including man-made RF) can degrade biological timing and coherence, contributing to downstream issues such as immune dysregulation and oxidative stress. It frames this as a systems-level claim rather than asserting RF “causes” specific diseases, and it cites proposed biophysical mechanisms (e.g., coupling into dense tissues, membrane voltage-sensing domains, mitochondrial/redox pathways). The article also references Heinrich Hertz’s historical exposure to early radio experiments and a retrospective medical analysis of his illness, while stating it is not claiming RF caused his condition.
The Herzification / Bioelectric Fidelity Hypothesis
RF Safe presents the “Herzification / Bioelectric Fidelity Hypothesis,” arguing that modern RF/EMF exposure has rapidly altered the human electromagnetic environment and may degrade biological electrical signaling (“bioelectric fidelity”). The post frames this as an “evidence-anchored hypothesis” that could help explain a wide range of outcomes (e.g., cancer, infertility, ADHD-like traits, some autism phenotypes, emotional dysregulation), while acknowledging it is not definitive proof. It also cites Heinrich Hertz’s illness as a suggestive historical anecdote and references proposed non-thermal interaction mechanisms involving voltage-gated ion channels.
