In recent decades, humanity has expanded mobile radiation on land at a record pace. The technically generated microwave radiation strains our bodies and weakens the immune system by interfering with important processes at the cellular level and disrupting them. Plants and animals are unprotected and also exposed to this harmful radiation. But that’s not all: […] Read on...

Our body responds always and anytime to our environment. Solar flares, for instance, create significant fluctuations in the Earth’s magnetic field and affect biological systems on Earth. Moon phases also cause biological reactions in nature and noticeably influence some people in their well-being, e.g. through their sleep or hormonal system. A weather change, triggered and […] Read on...

It is repeatedly claimed that 5G does not differ significantly from previous mobile phone generations apart from the higher capacities. This is not correct. With the introduction of the 5th generation of mobile communications (5G), a new type of antenna will additionally be used: adaptive antennas or antennas with beamforming (“beam bundling”). Conventional antennas radiate […] Read on...

With slogans like “environmental helper 5G”, mobile phone providers are trying to create the impression that the widespread introduction of the “dream team” 5G and digitalisation can avert rampant environmental destruction and global warming. But is this really the case? 5G: Accelerator of Dispersion and Digitalisation In 2019, and earlier in certain countries, the roll-out […] Read on...

Until now, environmental factors have been ignored as a possible trigger or reinforcer of Covid-19 disease.
