Polarized, coherent fields with embedded extremely low-frequency (ELF) components
RF Safe argues that non-thermal RF-EMF effects on biology may be driven by extremely low-frequency (ELF) components embedded in real-world, modulated wireless signals rather than by the RF carrier alone. The post highlights Panagopoulos’ ion-forced-oscillation (IFO) model as a proposed mechanism in which ELF-related ion motion could perturb voltage-gated ion channel (VGIC) gating and cascade into oxidative stress and immune effects. It cites a mix of supportive and null findings and frames electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) as a threshold/phenotype within the same proposed VGIC–mitochondria–ROS pathway.
Key points
- Claims human-made RF signals include polarized/coherent fields with embedded ELF components from modulation, pulsing, framing, and traffic variability.
- Describes Panagopoulos’ IFO model: ELF components drive nearby mobile ions, potentially affecting VGIC S4 voltage sensors and altering channel opening/closing at non-thermal levels.
- Links proposed VGIC disruption to downstream mitochondrial changes, reactive oxygen species (ROS), oxidative stress, and immune signaling; references a 2025 “comprehensive mechanism” paper (not provided in full).
- Mentions experimental reports of altered calcium oscillations via L-type/T-type Ca2+ channels as supportive of VGICs as an interaction site.
- Notes mixed literature, including an example of in vitro 5G exposure studies reporting no oxidative stress under specific conditions.
- Frames EHS as inter-individual variability in sensitivity/thresholds (including possible genetic variants such as CACNA1C) rather than a distinct mechanism, emphasizing pulse structure/ELF content as central to risk.
