The Exposure

The bats were exposed to broadband radio frequency (RF) fields ranging between 0.01 and 300 megahertz (MHz), with a peak intensity in the range of 0 to 10 MHz (relatively low frequencies). The intensity was defined as “weak” and matches a typical urban electromagnetic profile considered safe for humans. The exposure intensity is below standard safety limits, typical of an urban environment, and is distinguished from the natural background levels at those frequencies. According to the AI, the level is between 0.2-0.4 milligauss. I did not find any reference to this in the paper itself. Exposure Duration: The exposure lasted for a short period only – 30 minutes in total. Exposure Timing: Groups exposed at different times were tested: at sunset (the time of the bat’s compass calibration), after sunset, or at night during takeoff itself.

What was observed? Loss of Navigation Ability (Disorientation):

While the control bats (which were not exposed to radiation) took off in a clear and specific direction corresponding to their natural migratory path, all the bats exposed to radiation took off in completely random directions (a uniform and scattered directional distribution). A key finding in the study is that the navigation disruption persisted even hours after the brief exposure had ended. Bats that were exposed for only 30 minutes and then placed in a dark room exhibited random and confused flight even when released about 2 to 6 hours after the end of the exposure.

Consistency of the Disruption

The disruption in navigation occurred regardless of the timing of the exposure – whether they were exposed at sunset, after it, or at the moment of release, the exposure itself caused confusion in their ability to interpret the Earth’s magnetic field.

Conclusion – Standards Do Not Protect, The Consensus Is Wrong

The study reinforces the understanding that there are many mechanisms of damage and effects of non-ionizing radiation on biological systems and animals. This goes far beyond the prevailing misconception (represented by standards committees, ICNIRP, the World Health Organization, and the Ministries of Health and Environmental Protection) that if radiation does not cause immediate and acute effects (such as death), then it is harmless and completely safe.

The NTP-LITE studies were published – could not repeat the NTP, I wonder way?

amirborn — Sun, 01 Feb 2026 07:27:49 +0000

This month (13/1/2026), two studies were published that are intended to be replication/follow-up studies of the well-known NTP study, which found a range of effects of radiation on rats and mice. Among the NTP findings were that radiofrequency radiation from mobile phones led to an increase in cancer cases, oxidative stress, and DNA breaks, as well as lower offspring weight in rodents in the exposed group. The NTP study was published in 2018. The replication studies are referred to as “NTP LITE.”

The replication studies—one Japanese and the other Korean—were both conducted with funding from government ministries (communications and economy).

The headline conclusion of the studies’ summaries was that they failed to replicate the NTP findings. In the abstracts, statements are presented that create the impression that the studies were exact replications of the NTP study and that no findings of effects, illness, or damage related to radiation were observed. However, a more thorough reading of the full articles themselves (see links below) reveals a more complex and far less unequivocal picture. Such a reading shows that the studies are not exact replications of the NTP, that their statistical power is weaker, and that findings were in fact observed, but in most cases they were labeled as “not statistically significant” or “not related to radiation.”

Design to fail

Back when the “replication study” protocols were published in the past, researchers argued that the replication studies (both the Japanese and the Korean ones) were designed from the outset so that the likelihood of detecting a risk would be lower. A variety of differences, which may appear marginal or minor to those unfamiliar with the field, appeared in the protocols when the studies were being planned and launched. Now, with the publication of the studies, these differences are clear, and it is evident that they could have a decisive impact on the results. I increasingly believe that the studies were designed to fail.

The differences can also be explained in a more innocent way—not as ones intended to weaken the studies, but as stemming from the researchers’ assumption that if radiation has an effect on the health of rodents, it would be large and decisive. However, over all the years of research on this topic, the picture that emerges is of a cumulative effect, but not a decisive one. In other words, the radiation is not dangerous, but it is unhealthy.

Let me give an example. If the radiation were dangerous, we would see in the exposed group something like a 20% mortality rate from certain specific cancers—that is, out of 70 rodents, 14 would suffer from a particular disease, or in the NTP study we would have seen 18 sick animals. The replication studies were designed to detect such large increases. But if the radiation is “unhealthy” rather than outright dangerous, we would expect to see an increase of only a few percent across a range of cancers. The NTP study showed exactly this type of pattern: a modest increase across various cancers and biological markers—not on the order of 20%, but rather a few individual cases of disease out of 90 animals in the exposed group. When you are looking for a 20% effect, a relatively small number of animals per group is sufficient. When you expect a “softer” effect, you need to greatly increase the number of animals—possibly even more than in the NTP study—in order to obtain results that do not obscure the real situation.

Far fewer rodents

The first obvious difference between the NTP study and the replication studies is the number of rodents in the exposure groups and the number of exposure groups themselves. In the NTP study there were many more rodents in each group and many more groups exposed to radiation. The NTP study is larger and more robust.

For example, the number of rodents exposed to radiation in the NTP study (1,080 in the main study) is significantly higher than the number exposed in the “replication studies” (only 140 in each study).

Less radiation exposure

Another difference that immediately stands out is that in the NTP study there were three different exposure levels: 1.5 W/kg, 3 W/kg, and 6 W/kg. In the replication studies, exposure was only at 4 W/kg. This means it will not be possible to observe a dose–response relationship; in addition, the overall exposure is lower, and in practice there are far fewer groups of rodents exposed to radiation.

Only CDMA was tested, not GSM

In addition, exposure in the “replication studies” was to radiation using the CDMA transmission method. In the NTP study, exposure was to both CDMA and GSM. For those unfamiliar with second-generation mobile transmission methods: in GSM, the peak power levels (the transmission spikes) are much higher and occur more frequently per second than in CDMA. The most significant findings were דווקא in the GSM exposure groups, not in CDMA. So what exactly are they trying to replicate? The part of the NTP study that showed fewer findings?

The researchers themselves admit: “the studies are significantly weaker.”

That is, the replication studies—both the Japanese and the Korean ones—do not truly replicate the NTP study, and if they resemble it at all, they resemble the part of the NTP that found fewer effects… well, so be it.

The changes in exposure levels, the number of exposure groups, the total number of rodents exposed to radiation, the absence of GSM exposure, and more, make the replication studies very weak statistically—especially when searching for relatively rare cancers. Even the authors of the study say this themselves, on page 24, line 32 of the Japanese study.

The NTP-LITE researchers admit it is a weak study, especially when compared to the original NTP study

NTP halted studies of RF health & biological damage

amirborn — Sat, 03 Feb 2024 13:58:07 +0000

Activists and scientists around the world reports that the NTP (NIH) has halted all studies of RF health & biological damage and harm. This is done 5 years after the NTP Study found that RF radiation caused cancer in rates.

I assume that this is a political decision as the industry does not want the truth to be known and proven.

New study shows more cancer in IDF’s Radio frequency exposed soldiers

amirborn — Thu, 19 Jan 2023 19:45:44 +0000

The new study from January 2023 ( see link bellow ) analyzes 46 cases of cancer in IDF’s soldiers that were exposed to RF radiating during their 3 years service. 20 cases were from the Iron Doom system. Compared to the cancer registry on cancer in these ages, the study shows 8 times increase in cancer cases in iron doom system (draft cycle of 2011).

A New Study – 19 biological indicators found in the plasma of Fibromyalgia patients who are also Electromagnetic sensitive.

Amir Borenstein — Tue, 20 Dec 2022 15:50:35 +0000

In this new Italian study blood’s plasma samples were taken from 54 patients with Fibromyalgia & EHS, and from 24 healthy people. The plasma samples were then analyzed and compeared. The comparison showed 19 biological indicators that were different between the 2 groups.

Screenshot from the study – https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-022-25588-2

The combined analysis allowed to identify a metabolomic profile able of distinguishing IEI-EMF patients and healthy subjects. IEI-EMF patients were therefore characterized by the alteration of 19 metabolites involved in different metabolic pathways such as energy metabolism, muscle, and pathways related to oxidative stress defense and chronic pain

Study finds, that the SAR standard is not protective and not relevant

Amir Borenstein — Fri, 24 Jun 2022 18:11:13 +0000

Does the SAR standard protect users from possible health effects of RFR radiation from cellphones or other wireless devices? Well, it is BIG NOW!
Henry Lai, B Blake Levitt’s study from 2022 reviews 112 studies that showed the health and biological effects of RFR in SAR levels that are considered “within standards”, meaning lower than 1.6W/KG.

The median specific absorption value in which biological effect occurred, according to this review, was 0.0165 W/KG. 100 times lower than the allowed SAR threshold of 1.6W/KG. I am unfamiliar with any cell phone with a SAR level lower than that.

In addition to that, the researchers say that the level itself is not the only factor, as modulation type and time of exposure are also significant factors (which is overlooked in the SAR standard).

UK Million women study proves again how easy it is to get to the wrong conclusions

Amir Borenstein — Mon, 25 Apr 2022 22:41:49 +0000

An Update of the “UK Million women study” was published by researchers from Oxford at the “Journal of the National Cancer Institute”. It claims to prove again that cell phones do not cause cancer, but proves to be not relevant to today’s world or to today normal user.

UK Million women study

The conclusion of the study, as appears in the abstract is :

Our findings support the accumulating evidence that cellular telephone use under usual conditions does not increase brain tumor incidence.

A deeper look inside the data, in the first table, exposure the main flow in the study:

The “heavy users” group consisted of women who talked max of 45 minutes a week on their cell phone ( average was 20 minutes/week, lowest was 10 minutes/week), for 10 years. This is very low usage.
Only about half of the wemen that took part in the original study took part in the follow up.

The first table from the UK Million women study show “heavy users” talked on their cell phone only 45 minutes per week…that is not a heavy user at all.

In addition, it seems that Subjects were not asked about their cordless phone (which emits the same radiation and that was very popular in the years of the study) usage.
