Breaking the Chains on Foods That Heal

By The ANH TeamOn 
Breaking the Chains on Foods That Heal

ANH-USA has released a ground-breaking Strategic Roadmap and Action Plan exposing how outdated FDA rules are blocking access to medical foods—science-based nutrition therapies that could help millions of Americans prevent, manage, and even reverse chronic disease. Our Action Plan shows how we’re going to fix it. It’s time to educate Congress: sign our Action Alert now!

THE TOPLINE

  • America is facing a chronic disease crisis, yet FDA rules restrict access to medical foods—nutrition-based therapies designed to meet the special dietary needs of people with diagnosed health conditions.
  • By treating these foods like drugs, FDA policy has stifled innovation, discouraged research, and cut off patients from affordable, safe, and effective nutrition-based care.
  • ANH-USA’s roadmap lays out how to modernize medical food policy, broaden access, and bring the “food is medicine” vision to life.

A Healthcare System That’s Failing Us

Despite spending over 16% of our GDP on healthcare—more than any other country—the United States ranks a shocking 80th in healthy life expectancy, projected to fall even further by 2050. Today, 133 million Americans live with at least one chronic disease, and 42% have two or more.

How can a nation that spends so much on health be so sick? Because we’ve built a healthcare system that waits for people to get sick—and then treats them with drugs that are expensive, dangerous, and do not address the root cause of illness in the first place.

There’s a better way.

The Untapped Power of Medical Foods

Medical foods (MFs) are specially formulated products that provide targeted nutrition for people whose dietary needs cannot be met by regular foods alone. They’re used in hospitals every day, often in the form of shakes, powders, or enteral (feeding tube) formulas for patients recovering from surgery, living with metabolic disorders, or managing chronic disease.

Medical foods can help underserved populations reduce age-related disease and chronic conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and arthritis, improving health while reducing healthcare costs. They’re safe, effective, and far less expensive than many branded drugs.

So why don’t more Americans have access to them?

The Problem: A System Rigged Against Nutrition

Medical foods are trapped inside an outdated legal framework. In 1988, Congress created the medical food category in the Orphan Drug Act—a law meant to encourage the development of drugs for rare diseases.

Current rules say medical foods can only be used under a doctor’s supervision—even though most physicians receive very little training in nutrition. Meanwhile, qualified nutrition professionals like Certified Nutrition Specialists and Registered Dietitians are shut out from helping patients access these lifesaving foods.

The FDA’s interpretation of the law is so narrow that medical foods are completely shut out from addressing common chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and metabolic syndrome, even though nutrition is central to their management. In its guidance document, for example, the FDA states, “There are no distinctive nutritional requirements associated with the management of [diabetes],” so medical foods cannot target diabetes.

Making matters worse, medical foods are often denied insurance reimbursement because FDA policy has left their prescription status in limbo. This is critical: our healthcare system mostly runs on insurance reimbursement. But because of the FDA’s restrictive rules, medical foods are left out of that system. As a result, most doctors and patients don’t even know these products exist—and when they do ask for them, insurance almost always refuses to cover the cost. By effectively hiding a whole category of safe, affordable nutrition-based treatments, the system blocks competition and discourages companies from investing in this promising area of medical science.

In short: the FDA has put medical foods in handcuffs for decades while we’ve been seeing increasing rates of chronic disease that are nutrition and lifestyle related. This is crony medicine at its finest: shut out natural, nutrition-based interventions in favor of pharmaceutical monopolies over disease treatment.

Our Solution: A Roadmap for Reform

ANH-USA’s Strategic Roadmap and Action Plan offers a clear, actionable plan to fix this broken system. We’re calling for a modern framework that empowers innovation and restores nutrition to its rightful place in medicine.

Key recommendations include:

  • Modernize the definition. Update the statutory language so medical foods can address common chronic diseases, not just rare ones.
  • Expand access and supervision. Allow qualified nutrition professionals—not just doctors—to oversee medical food use.
  • Clarify prescription status and enable reimbursement. Give medical foods a clear path to coverage through Medicare, Medicaid, the Veterans Administration, and private insurers.
  • Replace regulatory intimidation with guidance. End the warning-letter culture and provide transparent, science-based rules for innovation.
  • Educate healthcare professionals. Integrate medical nutrition training into medical, nursing, dietetic, and pharmacy schools nationwide.

These changes would unleash innovation, bring competition and lower prices, and expand patient access to safe, proven, food-based therapies.

Why It Matters

Medical foods won’t replace drugs—but they can reduce the need for them. By addressing the nutritional roots of disease, medical foods can help people stay healthier, longer, while saving billions in healthcare costs.

It’s time to bring “food as medicine” from rhetoric to reality.

Tenenbaum Cancer Protocol

I continue to marvel at the many silver linings of the disastrous COVID era. One such silver lining is the plethora of information not only about successful cancer treatments but the truth about the very nature of it. Since a recent paper shows that chemotherapy the current poison treatment of choice that oncologists get a direct cut from, has a 97.9% failure rate in the U.S. over five years, these treatments are just in time as the American Cancer Society Projects diagnoses to exceed 2 MILLION in 2025.

Due to the fact ‘the powers that be’ have proven to be unbelievably corrupt hooligans, people have begun to realize that they in fact have a brain they can use for themselves!  

This awakening has brought many to the conclusion they can research, learn, and experiment just as well as those in a fraudulent, indoctrinated medical machine for profit which spews out mostly corrupt people with a few letters after his or her name.  (There are always rare exceptions and thank God for them!)

The world has already been regaled with the success of the Joe Tippen’s Protocol, Dr. Marik’s success, Dr. Makis’ success, Mel Gibson’s testimony of 3 friends healed of stage four cancer, a major review paper showing high dose IV vitamin C (75-100g, 2-3X week for 6-8 cycles) as a promising anti-cancer agent, and entire websites dedicated to high level guidance based on research for the layman who is interested in cancer treatments.  (COVID mania also exposed the ‘good guy’ doctors who were and continue to be tenaciously persecuted for daring to think for themselves)

Now we have the astounding success of Guy Tenenbaum, a 71 year old with stage 4 prostate cancer who was given a death sentence by all the doctors he consulted with, and who realized he had to rescue himself.  He studied the Metabolic Theory of Cancer, the work of Dr. Otto Warburg and Dr. Wilhelm Brunings [06:41], and discovered the key, autophagy, related to the work of Dr. Yoshinori Ohsumi [06:54]. Many studies built on Ohsumi’s foundational work and applied it to cancer. Autophagy, the lysosomal clean-up of cellular debris, is controlled by the mTOR pathway and is turned on by fasting.  Fasting can also enhance chemotherapy and radiation effectiveness and dramatically lessen its toxicity.  Tenenbaum wrote “My Battle Against Cancer – Survivor Protocol,” “Beat Cancer to Cure From Cancer,” and co-authored “Can We Heal From Cancer? Guy and Fred Did it…..and Here’s How.”

It appears the medical machine refuses to apply previously done work to current diseases because there isn’t any money or power in it. 
You think NIAID will give grants for that?  Think again.

Guy Tenenbaum’s Cancer Protocol

  • Fast for 42 days, consuming nothing but water and occasional coffee or tea
  • Take 1,000mg of aged garlic (scientists believe it’s responsible for 30% of his recovery). Go here for research on how aged garlic:
    • reduced stomach cancer by 52% due to reducing IGF-1, activating autophagy, suppressing a master switch controlling inflammation & cancer stem cell survival, and enhancing Natural Killer Cells by up to 300%.
    • even 17 years after stopping it, subjects still had a 34% lower cancer mortality
    • has an anti-aging effect, slows heart disease progression, improves brain health, and beats EGCG and curcumin due to its bioavailability, clinical results, and track record.
    • causes blood levels peak within hours but clinical benefits usually appear:
      • 2-4 weeks – improved blood pressure and inflammation markers
      • 3 months – max cardiovascular benefits
      • 6-12 months – cancer prevention and longevity benefits

Tenenbaum continues to take aged garlic now with meals for better absorption. After his drastic self- experiment his PSA dropped from 58 to 0.1 and scans showed his bone metastases were healing.  Six years later, he remains cancer-free.  

It’s important to note that aged garlic is quite different from regular garlic or even odorless garlic due to the proprietary aging process which converts harsh compounds into gentle, beneficial ones, which have no odor and cause no irritation.  It would require 10-20 cloves of raw garlic a day to achieve 1,000mg.  I must add as a personal side note that I actually took 16 cloves of crushed garlic daily, broken down into 4 doses when I first got Lyme/MSIDS, based on the advice of a Master Herbalist.  I did it for 2 weeks and it nearly killed me.  First, I smelled like I came straight out of Shanghai (the kids banned me from the car), and second my stomach revolted toward the end.  It was just too harsh.  I will state it made me herx initially, so it gave some benefit.

Due to Tenenbaum’s success, there are now two clinical trials now in the works testing prolonged fasting and fasting-mimicking diets in prostate cancer patients.

The following tables are helpful comparing autophagy effectiveness:

Source

This seminal work has shown there there appears to be an autophagy threshold for cancer suppression, growth factor starvation, insulin suppression, Warburg effect reversal, and sustained immune activation, which the 42 day fast meets but the 16 hour intermittent fast doesn’t.

This analysis demonstrates that dose-response matters dramatically in fasting-induced autophagy:

  • Mild fasting (16h): 20-30% tumor growth slowing ✓ (good)

  • Extended fasting (5-7d cycles): 10-25% remission rates ✓ (better)

  • Prolonged fasting (42d continuous): 100% remission rate ✓ (transformational)

Milder Ways to Induce Autophagy for the average Joe

Let’s say you don’t have cancer but you want to incorporate helpful aspects of Tennenbaum’s protocol in a more sustainable manner for prevention or other issues? 

Regarding clearing of spike proteins from those who got the COVID shots, as well as curing Dr. Marik’s Type II Diabetes:

“Autophagy can be upregulated by fasting and calorie restriction [2], especially if protein is reduced [3]. Autophagy in many instances does not require the complete cessation of food intake (protocols are available at https://COVID19criticalcare.com/treatment-protocols/, accessed on 15 April 2023). Sharply decreasing protein intake can upregulate autophagy pathways [4], and this can be accomplished while still eating, which makes this more approachable as a protocol. Regular fasting was also associated with better outcomes from acute COVID-19 [5].  Source

The Pfizer Job

Before reading the following unbelievably detailed analysis that took the author and his team over 3 years to complete, it’s important to note that ‘the powers that be’ aren’t getting the memo. Bill Gates recently had two meetings at the White House with President Trump and not only wants to inject cows and start putting scary additives into their food to supposedly reduce methane, but he’s funding a new micro-needle patch implant that installs both mRNA and quantum-dot markings into the body. Dr. Jessica Rose has broken it all down here.  Suffice it to say that it’s even worse than the mRNA shots.  In Rose’s words:

[It] involves taking the N1-modified mRNA-LNP technology (Pfizer/Moderna idea) to the next level of crazy, in my opinion.

And, Moderna has just unveiled a new mRNA shot called ‘mNEXSPIKE’ which translated in Latin means ‘violent death, or ‘death spear.’  You seriously can’t make this up.

Does anyone else out there get the distinct impression they want us dead?

The Pfizer Job

How Pfizer carried out the biggest pharma trial heist ever – and the regulators swallowed it hook, line and sinker.

Dr Ah Kahn Syed
Oct 12, 2025
Remember this?

Article Excerpts:

“Pfizer’s vaccine is more than 90% effective”.

Headlines repeated around the world and more importantly by the regulators FDA, TGA, EMA and MHRA.

Just to reiterate – this was about COVID infection. No claims on severity, hospitalisation or death were made by Pfizer.

Given that most of the vaccinated population actually “got COVID” – many of them multiple times, that sounds impossible, right?

That’s because it was.

Yet the trial itself showed 95% reduction in the risk of infection and was published in the infamous New England Journal of Medicine (the same journal that published the fraudulent Surgisphere study) on the 10th December 2020.

….we are going to show that the whole study was a sham and that there never was a benefit – at all, never mind “95% reduction in infection.”  (See link for article)

________________

**Comment**

I’m eternally grateful that researchers and doctors are now onto the prolific research fraud that has been taking place.  Of course, this fraud has been going on in Lymeland for over 40 years, but now it’s on display for the entire world to see.  Yet another silver lining that came out of COVID mania.

SUMMARY:

  • One of the main Pfizer hustles was mandating all PCR swabs for the trial be sent to their own lab in New York as part of the case definition.  Which means that Pfizer decided whether a swab was positive or negative – the only test that mattered.
  • We only know this is due to a FOIA by attorney Aaron Siri.  Pfizer and the FDA tried to withhold this intel for 75 years.
  • Another hustle concerns dates.  The cut off for the trial was Nov. 14, 2020.  The VRBPAC meeting was on Dec. 10, 2020, the same day the trial was published.  The VRBPAC assessment document for the Pfizer submission was written on Dec. 7, 2020, just two weeks after the submission – having to assess 44,000 participants.  The approval was made on the basis of 47 days of follow-up for most patients, but was also made in ONE DAY, because of the VRBPAC meeting on Dec. 20, 2020 – with EUA declared on Dec. 11, 2020.  Certainly a miracle.
  • The dates demonstrate that all of this was impossible, which implies it was a pre-agreed approval based upon Pfizer showing data that there were less infections in the ‘vaccinated’ group based on a test they controlled – not on clinical symptoms.
  • Evidently, Doran Fink of the FDA presented in the VRBPAC meeting despite having no clinical data and no experience in handling large data sets.  Unblinding in the trial was not allowed to happen until after Nov. 14, 2020, yet somehow Pfizer knew what was in which arm before that date.  Interestingly, Fink was then given a job at Moderna and now is at GSK, demonstrating clearly the revolving door between the FDA and Big Pharma.
  • Even more miraculously Pfizer, the WEF, and mainstream media already knew by the 9th of November that the ‘vaccine’ had ‘worked’ despite the fact the data cut off was Nov. 14.
  • Susan K Wollersheim’s ability to give the statistical presentation for VRBPAC on a 44,000 participant clinical trial is legendary as she has never published a clinical research study7.  
  • There is no way Fink and Wollersheim did the analysis as they don’t have the skill set and they didn’t have the time necessary to do it.
  • The good doctor who authored this article, Dr Ah Kahn Syed, states that it took him and a handful of people with the skillset required 3 years to sift through over 2 MILLION pages of FDA documents to just write this article.
  • Moderna achieved a similar EUA approval only 7 days later due to a similar hustle.
  • The third hustle: they stopped accumulating cases (in the “vaccinated group” only) for a specified time period in order to make the cut.
  • A tactic they probably used, since they solely controlled testing, was to change the Cycle threshold on the machine recording the tests.  A Ct of over 40 will pick up a bunch of false positives and a low Ct of less than 16 will only pick up real cases with a high viral load.  They didn’t know the ‘sweet spot,’ so they had to change Ct as they went along.  The field that should have recorded the Ct on the machine is conveniently missing.
  • Pfizer knew which tests were from the ‘vaccinated’ or the placebo group because they had the blood tests from every person in the study at their lab. Castruita showed in 2023 that even after 4 weeks there was enough circulating RNA (or DNA) from the COVID-19 vaccines to be able to perform genomic sequencing13.  While unlocking the database would create audit flags, they could easily identify who got what without raising audit flags, so they could then adjust the Ct up or down depending upon the number of positive tests they needed.
  • The author proves that if you correct for the fact that, if you’re vaccinated, you have 2.3x less chance of showing N-antibody on a test, the infection rate of the ‘vaccinated’ and of the placebo group is identical.  There was no 95% reduction in infection in the ‘vaccinated’ group at all.  It was a scam.
  • The author also shows from The FDA’s review that there were over 1100 more fevers and over 2000 more reports of chills in the ‘vaccinated’ group.

Sadly, all of this should have been done before ‘Operation Warp-speed,’ but let this be a solid reminder to not take ANYTHING until you are fully convinced it truly works and is safe.  In short, do not believe anything the medical machine for profit says.  Before you take anything they recommend, wait until independent research has been done.

There are probably many, many people who are now living with a lot of regret.

More Original Independent Research Presented at CHEST 2025 Than Presented by Many Major Institutions

https://imahealth.substack.com/p/ima-at-chest-2025-a-milestone-in?

IMA at CHEST 2025: A Milestone in Independent Medical Research

At CHEST 2025, IMA presented more original research than many major institutions. With over 1,600 peer-reviewed publications between Drs. Varon and Marik, independent science is gaining ground.

 
Independent Medical Alliance
Oct 28, 2025
 
IMA CHEST 2025 hero

CHEST has long been a stronghold of institutional medicine: an annual gathering where pulmonary and critical care physicians from the world’s largest hospital systems and academic centers set the tone for clinical standards and scientific recognition.

At CHEST 2025, something different happened: an independent alliance is outpacing the establishment.

Led by IMA President Dr. Joseph Varon, our team contributed more original research than many of the most well-funded organizations in the country. That isn’t a boast; it’s a measurable step forward in reclaiming scientific spaces that were once closed to independent researchers.

“At CHEST 2025, I was struck by the fact that the IMA—our independent, grassroots organization—had more scientific presentations than some of the largest medical institutions in the country. Proof that dedication and vision often outperform size and bureaucracy.” — Dr. Joseph Varon

CHEST Chicago 2025

What is CHEST and Why Does It Matter

Founded in 1935, the CHEST Annual Meeting is organized by the American College of Chest Physicians. It is one of the most influential global conferences in pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine. Each year, thousands of clinicians, researchers, and policymakers gather to share emerging science, update protocols, and shape future guidelines.

Participation at CHEST is a strong signal of credibility. It’s the place where clinical science is discussed not just in theory, but in terms of its immediate application to patient care. For an independent medical group to be not only present but prominent shows that change in medicine is possible—and already underway.

Independent, Evidence-Driven, and Growing

For decades, CHEST has been the domain of large academic institutions and government-aligned research groups. This year, Dr. Varon, together with several of his researchers and students, presented a dozen original abstracts, including work on:

  • Pulmonary disease

  • Intensive care medicine

  • Optimization of patient care

That kind of presence doesn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of years of persistence, especially at a time when independent research was under immense pressure.

If you followed us during the COVID era, you’ll know that our physicians challenged flawed policies and raised concerns about mRNA vaccine harms. The response was swift: licenses were threatened, voices were censored, and reputations attacked. But the work continued.

The fact that we’re here today—publishing, presenting, and helping shape clinical conversations—is a testament to the strength of our mission. We survived a Goliath-like effort to silence us, and we’re still standing. Still researching. Still delivering solutions for patients.

Joe Varon with researchers at CHEST

Proof in the Medical Literature

Beyond CHEST, IMA researchers continue to publish in respected peer-reviewed journals. Recent examples include:

These studies are recent examples of a much broader trend: our science, once dismissed, is now being examined seriously. The same mainstream institutions that ignored our findings are beginning to revisit the data and ask questions we have been asking for years.

Our Research Leadership

IMA’s growing influence in medical research reflects leadership grounded in clinical experience, scientific rigor, and long-term commitment.

Dr. Joseph Varon, Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of IMA, has authored more than 1,000 peer-reviewed studies while continuing to practice medicine and mentor the next generation of researchers. He also leads the editorial vision of the Journal of Independent Medicine as its Editor-in-Chief, ensuring a continued focus on practical, patient-centered science.

Dr. Paul Marik, Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer, has published over 600 peer-reviewed papers and remains one of the most cited intensivists in the world. His recent induction into the Orthomolecular Medicine Hall of Fame recognized both the scope and influence of his scientific contributions.

Together, they’ve helped establish a model for medical research that puts patients first, values real-world outcomes, and refuses to compromise on scientific integrity.

Joe Varon showcasing a study at CHEST

A Journal for Uncensored Science

The Journal of Independent Medicine is preparing to release its fourth edition this November, marking the completion of its inaugural year.

The journal exists for one purpose: to give space to research that asks difficult but essential questions. Many of those questions cannot be raised in pharmaceutical-sponsored publications. Here, they can. It is a platform for physicians and scientists who still believe that medicine must serve patients first and tell the truth, even when it is inconvenient.

Expanding in 2026: Special Editions

Building on the success of its first year, IMA will introduce two new special editions in 2026:

  • “Treating Post-Vaccine Complications”

    • Submission Deadline: December 31, 2025

    • Publication Date: 2026

  • “Repurposed Drugs and Nutraceuticals in the Chronic Disease Epidemic”

    • Submission Deadline: February 28, 2026

    • Publication Date: 2026

These editions will expand opportunities for independent researchers and clinicians to publish meaningful work that drives progress rather than compliance.

👉 Submit your research or learn more here

Looking Ahead

CHEST 2025 was not about arrival or recognition. It was about progress earned through steady, verifiable work.

Through peer-reviewed research, transparent publishing, and the leadership of dedicated physicians, IMA is proving that independent medicine can thrive within the highest levels of scientific discourse.

Our work has always stood on its own merit. What has changed is that the world is finally ready to recognize it. And this is only the beginning.

Study Links Surge in Children’s Memory Problems to Radiation Exposure

Study Links Surge in Children’s Memory Problems to Wireless Radiation Exposure

Children and teens in Sweden and Norway are experiencing an “alarming” rise in memory problems, according to the authors of a new peer-reviewed study that linked the issue to increased exposure to wireless radiation. “Radiation exposure must be reduced, and people must be informed about the associated health risks,” one of the study’s authors said.

Children and teens in Sweden and Norway are experiencing an “alarming” rise in memory problems, which the authors of a new peer-reviewed study attributed to increased exposure to wireless radiation.

“The steep increase in memory issues cannot be explained by changes in diagnostic criteria or reporting to the registries alone,” Lennart Hardell, M.D., Ph.D., one of the study’s authors, said in a press release. He added:

“We urge our findings on increasing numbers of children having impaired memory to be taken seriously by public health authorities and consider children’s increasing exposure to wireless radiation as a possible cause.

“Thus, we ask for measures aimed at decreasing exposure to RF radiation [radiofrequency radiation] to protect the brain and general health of children.”

The study was published this month in the Archives of Clinical and Biomedical Research.

Hardell, an oncologist and epidemiologist with the Environment and Cancer Research Foundation, has authored more than 350 papers, nearly 60 of which address RF radiation. He is also one of the first researchers to publish reports on the toxicity of Agent Orange.

Hardell and lead study author Mona Nilsson, co-founder and director of the Swedish Radiation Protection Foundation, examined national health data in Sweden and Norway and found that the number of medical consultations for memory disturbances in Norwegian children ages 5-19 increased roughly 8.5-fold from 2006 to 2024.

In Sweden, the number of children ages 5-19 diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment — a diagnosis that includes memory problems — increased nearly 60-fold from 2010 to 2024.

“The findings must be taken seriously and evaluated,” Hardell told The Defender. “Action must be taken to reduce children’s overall exposure — especially in schools.”

Nilsson agreed. “These alarming trends must be reversed — radiation exposure must be reduced, and people must be informed about the associated health risks,” she said.

Authors link memory problems to wireless radiation

The authors argued in their report that wireless radiation is a leading cause of memory decline in children.

They cited numerous epidemiological and experimental studies showing that very low levels of RF radiation can negatively affect the brain — particularly the hippocampus, which plays a central role in memory and learning.

“There is abundant evidence [dating back] several decades, both on animals and humans, that RF radiation impairs memory,” Nilsson said. “The trends we are observing coincide closely in time with the sharply increasing exposure of children and adolescents to RF radiation.”

Wireless exposure has escalated in the last decade due to the increasing use of cellphones, wireless headsets, Wi-Fi and 5G, Hardell said.

“Other contributing factors can, of course, not be excluded,” he said. “They must, however, be defined and not based on hypothetical discussion.”

New investigation targets ‘biased’ European report on RF radiation

The new study coincides with the European Ombudsman investigation into how the European Commission handled a key report that found no “moderate or strong” evidence linking adverse health effects to chronic or acute RF radiation exposure from existing wireless technologies.

The European Ombudsman, who “investigates complaints about maladministration by EU [European Union] institutions and bodies,” will question the European Commission on how it chose the experts to write the report, said Sophie Pelletier, president of PRIARTEM/Electrosensibles de France, in an Oct. 22 press release.

The report, called the SCHEER Opinion, was adopted in April 2023 by the European Commission’s Scientific Committee on Health, Environmental and Emerging Risks (SCHEER).

The SCHEER Opinion was “clearly biased,” according to an October 2023 critique published by the Council for Safe Telecommunications in Denmark and the Swedish Radiation Protection Foundation.

The investigation stems from a complaint filed by several European nonprofits, including the Swedish Radiation Protection Foundation, alleging that the authors of the SCHEER Opinion had conflicts of interest due to industry ties or industry-funded research.

The nonprofits also claimed that the European Commission excluded experts critical of wireless radiation’s possible health effects from the report’s working group and that the report authors ignored peer-reviewed studies showing harmful effects from exposure below current limits.

In the U.S., the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has not updated its RF radiation exposure limits since 1996 and bases them largely on a few small sample studies conducted in the 1970s and 1980s.

The FCC has not yet complied with a 2021 court-ordered mandate to explain how it determined that its current guidelines adequately protect humans and the environment from the harmful effects of RF radiation exposure.
