8 postsChecking Fact Checkers: MBFC’s Reliance on a Now Removed FDA Page @MBFC_News
RF Safe criticizes Media Bias/Fact Check (MBFC) for rating it “medium credibility,” arguing MBFC relied on an FDA webpage that was later changed/redirected and on a Harvard T.H. Chan School commentary. The post claims the FDA removed categorical reassurance language about cell phone safety and frames this as undermining MBFC’s critique. It also asserts that non-thermal mechanisms and animal findings support RF Safe’s precautionary stance, while characterizing MBFC’s sources as “opinion” rather than data.
MBFC’s Misrepresentation: Straight-Up Lying or Just Sloppy?
RF Safe criticizes Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) for labeling RF Safe as “pseudoscience” with “mixed factual reporting” and “low credibility,” arguing MBFC’s entry contains factual errors and misrepresentations. The post says RF Safe does not claim RF radiation definitively causes human disease, but instead presents precautionary interpretations of peer-reviewed studies and proposed non-thermal mechanisms. It also alleges MBFC made specific, checkable mistakes about study-linking practices and site ownership/funding, and failed to correct them after rebuttals.
When “Neutral” Becomes Biased: Teaching AIs to Question the Status Quo
This RF Safe blog post recounts a conversation with xAI’s Grok about RF electromagnetic fields and argues that AI “neutrality” can become biased when it defaults to regulatory consensus (e.g., ICNIRP/FCC) as a proxy for scientific truth. The author claims Grok later acknowledged “regulatory deference” and that evidence from animal studies (NTP, Ramazzini), WHO-commissioned reviews, and proposed non-thermal mechanisms should prompt stronger scrutiny of thermal-only safety standards. The piece frames current RF exposure guidelines as outdated and insufficiently responsive to non-thermal biological-effect evidence.
The Evidence Is Now Decisive: Man Made Radiofrequency Fields Can Cause Cancer and Other Serious Biological Harm – And We Finally Know Exactly How
An RF Safe article argues that, as of 2025, evidence is “decisive” that man-made radiofrequency (RF) fields can cause cancer and other biological harm, and that non-thermal mechanisms are now established. It cites animal studies (including NTP and Ramazzini), a 2025 WHO-commissioned systematic review (as described by the author), and proposed mechanisms involving voltage-gated ion channels, oxidative stress, and radical-pair/spin chemistry. The piece calls for updated safety standards that consider modulation and tissue vulnerability, while stating it is “not a call for panic.”
The structural failures in U.S. policy and governance on radiofrequency (RF) radiation safety
An RF Safe article argues that U.S. radiofrequency (RF) radiation governance is structurally flawed due to outdated FCC exposure limits, misaligned agency responsibilities, reduced federal research activity, and federal preemption that limits local action. It promotes the site’s “S4-Mito-Spin” framework as a proposed non-thermal mechanism for RF/ELF bioeffects and cites animal studies (e.g., NTP and Ramazzini) as challenging a thermal-only basis for limits. The piece also discusses policy reforms, including a proposed “Clean Ether Act” and increased use of alternatives such as Li‑Fi, while noting that mainstream bodies (e.g., FDA, ICNIRP) do not consider non-thermal harms established.
The S4-Mitochondria Axis: A Plausible Unifying Mechanism for Non-Thermal Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Field Effects on Cancer, Male Reproduction, Carcinogenicity, and Immune Dysregulation
RF Safe argues that findings it describes as “high-certainty” from WHO-commissioned systematic reviews show RF-EMF causes malignant heart Schwannomas and brain gliomas in rodents and reduces male fertility. The post proposes a unifying non-thermal mechanism—the “S4-mitochondria axis”—suggesting RF-EMF interacts with the voltage-sensing S4 helix of voltage-gated ion channels (VGICs) and is amplified by mitochondrial density. It concludes that the combination of animal evidence and a proposed mechanism supports precautionary revisions to exposure guidelines and more mechanistic research.
S4 Fidelity — Pulsed components of RF EMF, VGIC timing errors, and mitochondrial stress
This RF Safe article argues that real-world, pulsed/modulated RF exposures may introduce “timing noise” that disrupts voltage-gated ion channel (VGIC) gating via the S4 helix, framing this as a non-thermal mechanism (“S4 Timing Fidelity”). It claims such timing drift could alter calcium and proton flux, affect cellular signaling and mitochondrial workload, and contribute to chronic oxidative stress and inflammatory pathway activation. The post further links this proposed mechanism to interpretations of large-animal RF studies (e.g., NTP and Ramazzini) as consistent with sub-thermal carcinogenic outcomes, presenting this as a unifying explanatory model rather than reporting new experimental results.
Non-thermal biological effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation: Mechanistic insights into male reproductive vulnerability in the era of ubiquitous exposure
This narrative review discusses proposed non-thermal mechanisms by which chronic, low-intensity RF-EMR from ubiquitous wireless sources may affect male reproductive health. It highlights oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, impaired testosterone synthesis/steroidogenesis, and declines in sperm quality as reported outcomes. The authors argue that current SAR/thermal-based guidelines may not capture these endpoints and call for updated standards and precautionary measures.
