I wish more people were concerned about this. I find it hard to believe EMF at non-thermal levels has absolutely no effect on us.

I think this is a repeat. But take it as food for thought. I have a very bad lumbar spine following numerous major surgeries, and so seek out pain management doctors from time to time. One treatment option is some kind of nerve ablation, which is just another way of saying sensory nerves are destroyed to block pain. This is sometimes done by maneuvering a microwave probe near target nerves and simply cooking the tissue. I was offered this and voiced concern. The doctor offered another option which I found scary in another way. Seems it is possible to turn down the power and subject the nerve to pulsed microwave radiation at lower levels in such a way that no tissue is physically destroyed, but pain is suppressed by changes in the way nerve impulses are conducted. Effects last for at least some months.

Just a tidbit for anyone frequently subjected to non-ionizing radiation. In other words--all of us.
