It is time to recognize ambient EMF as a novel form of environmental pollution we can refer to as “entropic waste” and develop rules at regulatory agencies that designate airspace as a ‘habitat’ so EMF can be regulated like other pollutants. Long-term chronic low-level EMF exposure standards, which do not now exist, should be set accordingly and environmental laws should be strictly enforced.
Dr. Holley Posited Holley’s 1st Law of Biology in 1976 which states: “Over of the course of the lifespan of any organism, the genotype, and phenotype of that organism changes in response to exogenous environmental exposure.” LSU BS graduate of 1978.
Many decades later, we now understand that throughout the lifespan of an organism, the work performed from the DNA/RNA building blocks to the expression of genes adapting to the environment is all regulated by a bioelectric state resulting in anatomical cognition within its probabilitic morphospace. We are starting to understand the computation power of life is enabled through electromagnetic voltage state potentials that facilitate coordinated navigation of anatomical morphospace. Every part of an organism contributes to an emergent collective intelligence within a bioelectric life force that guides anatomical and physiological processes.
The bioelectric fields that were once thought to be the byproduct of biological processes turn out to be the self-cognition that guides them. Making the rest of the body not much different from the brain when it comes to reliance on these field potentials to function as a living organism in harmony with its environment.
Exogenous Environmental EMF Exposure
The environment is now thoroughly polluted by man-made sources of electromagnetic radiation with frequencies and magnitudes never before present. Man’s activities have probably changed the Earth’s electromagnetic background to a greater degree than they have changed any other natural physical attribute of the Earth. The evidence now indicates that the present abnormal electromagnetic environment constitutes a significant health risk. There are also positive aspects of the relationship between electromagnetism and life. Clinical uses of electromagnetic energy are increasing and promise to expand into important areas in the near future.

Robert Becker’s Stance On EMF
“I think it will be one of the most important factors and that is the electromagnetic environment that we’re living in today. Of all the changes that man has made in his environment through technology, the biggest change of the world has been one that we cannot sense. There’s no way we can tell with any of our senses that we have so changed the Earth’s global electromagnetic environment that it is the most massive change of all. It’s far beyond any greenhouse effect or ozone hole effect, or water pollution or soil pollution, or what have you. This has become a massive global alteration that was done without a thought, and without any research into evidence that there would be any harmful effect.
For 2 and a half billion years, living things, humans included, lived in a certain electromagnetic environment, the normal global EM environment. And only within the past 50 years have we made these massive changes in that environment. It’s over that same period of time that we have begun having the problems with our medical care system, with what appears to be epidemic types of cancer that are appearing at the present time. I think there’s a very definite connection, and I believe that connection should very certainly be looked at.
Now, on the other side of the coin, the evidence is rather clear that abnormal man-made electromagnetic fields do influence the operation of the genetic system when cells divide. They do influence the rate of division of cancer cells; they speed it up enormously. Now, if it has these kinds of effects, is it not possible that we could look at the whole range of effects of electromagnetic energy and the growth of cancer cells or the origin of cancer cells, and possibly arrive at a position in which we could say, ‘Well, this kind of electromagnetic energy can cause a cell that has become cancerous to revert back to normal?’ And it’s my opinion that this is a very feasible approach.”
Editor for the Journal of the American Medical Association, Professor Pash and his colleagues have developed a novel treatment that uses very low-intensity radiofrequency electromagnetic fields to target specific types of cancer.
The device, known as the TheraBionic, surprised researchers to find that the same modulation frequencies were found over and over in patients with the same type of tumor, irrespective of their gender, age, and ethnic status. It was suggested early on, by 2003, that tumors might respond to some specific frequencies.
The researchers used biofeedback to determine the frequencies that correspond to each type of cancer.
Variations in the patient’s pulse were measured as they were exposed to a range of different modulation frequencies. The results showed that people responded to specific frequencies depending on the type of cancer.
Electromedicine involves the use of frequencies, and the results are not dependent upon a higher intensity; in fact, in many cases, very low-intensity electromagnetic fields produce the best results.
The specific absorption rate or SAR is often used as a measure of the amount of radio frequency electromagnetic energy absorbed by the body when a particular device is being used. For example, Apple’s iPhone 15 has a SAR of around 1.5 W/kg watts per kilogram.
The TheraBionic SAR levels have ranged from 0.3 up to one microwatt per kilo, and they found that in that range there is no difference in the outcome, which is the anti-proliferative effect. This is done with an RFR exposure level on orders of magnitude lower than an iPhone 15 smartphone.
This means that it’s not limited to the dose power, but rather there’s something specific about the frequencies that are used, regardless of dose or the SAR level.
So not only is there a wide range of exposure levels that seem to have an effect on cancer cells, but the exposure levels associated with this effect are also less than one-thousandth of the exposure typically generated by a mobile phone.
Bioelectric Being
This perspective suggests that bioelectric states—far from being mere byproducts of cellular activities—are foundational to the regulation and coordination of life processes. This idea proposes a paradigm where bioelectric fields are integral to the organism’s ability to “cognize” its own form and function, guiding developmental and regenerative processes within the probabilistic boundaries of its morphospace.
The notion that the entire body, not just the brain, relies on bioelectric signals to interact harmoniously with its environment reflects a broader understanding of life as fundamentally electromagnetic. This view aligns with research indicating that electrical signals play a crucial role in developmental biology, regenerative medicine, and the understanding of cancer and other diseases. Michael Levin’s work at Tufts University, for example, highlights how manipulating bioelectric signals can lead to profound changes in organismal morphology and function, suggesting that these signals encode a form of “intelligence” or decision-making capability that guides growth and healing processes.
Moreover, this perspective dovetails with the idea that the computation power of life—its ability to process information and make decisions at a cellular or organismal level—is underpinned by electromagnetic potentials. Such a view expands the concept of cognition beyond the neural networks of the brain to the entire organism, recognizing that every cell contributes to an emergent collective intelligence.
The implications of this research are vast, potentially transforming our approaches to medicine, synthetic biology, and our understanding of life itself. By exploring how bioelectric fields function as a fundamental aspect of biological self-awareness and control, scientists are opening new frontiers in the quest to understand life at its most fundamental levels.
For those interested in delving deeper into these topics, exploring the work of researchers like Michael Levin and others engaged in bioelectricity research would provide valuable insights. This field is rapidly evolving, with each study shedding light on the profound interconnectedness of bioelectric phenomena with the essence of life.
