RF SAFE • Since the 1990s

TruthCase™ — real‑world protection from non‑native EMFs (nnEMFs)

RF SAFE pioneered exposure‑reduction cases in the 1990s. TruthCase™ (QuantaCase® by RF SAFE) is our physics‑first case for non‑native electromagnetic fields (nnEMFs) from phones and wireless devices. It is built to reduce everyday microwave exposure without gimmicks and backed by a complete roadmap: design that obeys physics, usage that actually lowers dose (TruthCase Usage Guide), and policy that finally aligns technology with biology (Action Hub · Light‑Age roadmap).

nnEMFs = man‑made, pulsed electromagnetic fields (cellphones, Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, DECT, small cells, etc.) layered on top of the Earth’s natural static and low‑frequency fields. TruthCase™ exists to reduce the man‑made burden in the ways you can control today, while the HHS/EPRC and FCC pieces get fixed.

The Case for Truth—because people are tired of being sold “99%” fairy tales

TruthCase™ exists to make the difference obvious: physics‑first design, transparent usage guidance, and a public roadmap that ends the problem indoors (Light‑Age · LiFi) and fixes safety oversight where the law already says it belongs (Public Law 90‑602 · Section 704).

Core promise: we will not add anything—loops, magnets, plates, thick stacks—that detunes antennas or makes your phone transmit harder. The shield goes between you and the phone, and you can verify continuity with an ohmmeter. For visual examples of what we refuse to do, see the TruthCase Red Flag Slider.

What you need to know now

Design choices change exposure

Magnets, metal loops, plate steel, and thick wallet stacks can detune antennas and make phones transmit harder. TruthCase™ avoids those traps and keeps the shield where it matters: between you and the phone. See how we score 0/5 red flags on the Red Flag Slider.

Non‑thermal effects are real

The literature describes a coherent pathway: VGIC/VGCC disruption → Ca²⁺ dysregulation → oxidative stress → DNA damage. That is the same biology RF SAFE organizes under the S4–Mito–Spin framework and the How Weak Fields Hit Strong Tissues proof. That is why we focus on reducing duty cycle and proximity wherever possible.

Law is lagging—by mandate, not choice

Public Law 90‑602 requires HHS to run an electronic product radiation control program. With NTP’s RF work shut down and no successor program, HHS is not fulfilling the statute. Section 704 preempts communities from citing health; it must be fixed. RF SAFE’s Action Hub walks through that roadmap.

There is a clean exit path

LiFi (IEEE 802.11bb) moves indoor connectivity to light, with privacy benefits and no microwave burden. TruthCase™ helps now; the Light‑Age roadmap and Clean Ether vision finish the job.

nnEMF 101 — understanding non‑native electromagnetic fields

The basics in plain language

Native fields: Earth’s magnetic field, the Schumann resonances, sunlight and infrared, and weak bioelectric signals inside your body. See RF SAFE’s Schumann / Techno‑Biofilm explanation.
Non‑native fields (nnEMFs): man‑made, usually pulsed and modulated signals from phones, Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, DECT, smart meters, and small‑cell antennas.
These signals can be close to the body and on for hours, especially when phones are carried against skin or used on‑head for calls.
TruthCase™ is designed specifically around these nnEMF realities: where the phone radiates, how power control works, and how people actually use devices.

nnEMF exposure you can control today

On‑body carry: phones in pockets, bras, waistbands, or under pillows.
On‑head calls: traditional handset posture against the ear.
Nighttime background: routers, baby monitors, and phones left on near beds.
High‑duty apps: video calls, streaming, hotspots, and uploads that keep radios busy.

TruthCase™ plus better habits can reduce your personal nnEMF dose right now, while policy catches up.

Wireless radiation, cancer, fertility & mechanism: what the totality shows

1) Cancer signals appear where exposure is highest: INTERPHONE heavy‑use ≈ +40% glioma risk. U.S. NTP + Italy’s Ramazzini: gliomas & heart schwannomas at levels once called “too low.” A WHO‑commissioned 2025 review graded animal evidence for those tumors High.

2) Male fertility: WHO‑program meta‑analysis revised pooled estimate to OR 1.68 for decreased pregnancy rate in experimental studies; consistent oxidative stress & DNA damage at non‑thermal levels.

3) Mechanism: VGIC/VGCC disruption → Ca²⁺ → ROS → DNA damage. Large reviews report ~95% of relevant experiments show oxidative‑stress effects at non‑thermal intensities, fully consistent with the S4–Mito–Spin model.

4) Population signal: Denmark’s registry shows a multi‑year rise in brain/CNS tumors through 2023 (steepest 2021→2023). Not proof of causation; definitely not “no signal.”

U.S. limits are still thermal‑only (1996). The fix is law and oversight: enforce EPRC (Public Law 90‑602), restore local authority (Section 704), and move indoor connectivity toward LiFi/Light‑Age. For primary papers, see RF SAFE’s research library.

Different on purpose

Most “anti‑radiation” cases add convenience hardware that raises output. TruthCase™ follows physics and focuses on nnEMF dose in your actual day‑to‑day use. For a short walk‑through, see the TruthCase overview and TruthCase video.

Design

Directional shielding between you & phone. No metal loops, magnets, or plate steel. Ear‑side continuity. Antenna‑aware thin profile.

Usage

Habits that matter: call posture, pocket orientation, night distance, turning off radios you do not need. TruthCase™ is the hardware that lets these habits work (Usage Guide).

Roadmap

Light‑based networking and updated law—so homes and schools rely more on light and less on microwaves (Light‑Age · Clean Ether).

The four truths the market ignores

Truth #1 — Unshielded ear‑side holes break protection where you need it most

Large ear‑aligned apertures are a direct path for higher‑frequency signals and defeat continuity in calls. TruthCase™ keeps a shielded ear‑side path instead of the “big hole at the ear” pattern you will see clearly on the Red Flag Slider.

Truth #2 — Detachable magnets & steel plates make phones shout

They detune antennas. Power‑control ramps up output to hold the link—more exposure, not less. TruthCase™ excludes magnets, plates, and thick wallet stacks; see how this scores 0/5 on the TruthScore™ red‑flag test.

Truth #3 — Metal loops and hardware near antennas detune the system

Conductive loops near radiators alter near‑field behavior and degrade efficiency. Phones respond by transmitting harder. TruthCase™ has no metal loops and stays thin where radios live.

Truth #4 — “99% protection” fabric numbers ≠ your life

A swatch is not your duty cycle. Reduction comes from shield placement, antenna behavior, and how long radios are active. We refuse “99% everywhere” and instead point you to real‑world tools like the SAR share/explainer.

For a visual walk‑through of these patterns, explore the TruthCase Red Flag Slider.

The evidence, straight

Cancer

INTERPHONE: top decile (≥1,640 h) ≈ OR 1.40 for glioma (~30 min/day over 10y).
NTP: clear evidence of heart schwannomas (male rats); some for gliomas; DNA damage.
Ramazzini: far‑field ~0.1 W/kg → more heart schwannomas and glial tumors.
WHO‑commissioned 2025: animal evidence High for glioma & heart schwannoma.

RF SAFE maintains links and commentary for these studies in its research library.

Reproduction & development

Male fertility: pooled OR 1.68 for decreased pregnancy rate; motility/morphology detriments; oxidative stress at non‑thermal levels.
Prenatal/offspring: fetal/placental oxidative stress; behavioral changes across multiple labs.
Mechanistic match: mitochondrial strain, hormone signaling disruption, ROS‑mediated DNA damage.

Mechanism

Polarized, pulsed RFR → VGIC/VGCC interference → Ca²⁺ influx → ROS → DNA damage. This matches the S4–Mito–Spin model and helps explain tumor types, fertility effects, and prenatal outcomes.

Population

Denmark’s registry shows increasing brain/CNS tumor rates through 2023, with the sharpest jump 2021→2023. Public health acts on converging evidence; it does not wait for a mythical single “perfect” study. That is why policy action is on the same page as product design here.

Law & mandate: this is not optional

Public Law 90‑602 (EPRC)

Mandate: HHS shall run an electronic product radiation control program—research and performance standards for electronic products (including wireless). With NTP’s RF work shut down and no successor program, HHS is not fulfilling the statute. RF SAFE’s HHS/EPRC explainer lays out the gap and the fix.

Fix (now)

Reconstitute a national RF research program with non‑thermal endpoints.
Promulgate performance standards (duty‑cycle controls, labeling, child margins).
Seat RF health oversight at HHS/FDA/NIH with EPA; keep FCC on spectrum engineering, not health. See RF SAFE’s FCC remand overview.

Section 704 (1996)

Preempts communities from citing health in siting decisions if FCC limits are met—functionally muting the First & Tenth Amendments for nearly three decades. It must be repealed/repaired; see Section 704.

We had the evidence before 1996

1971 U.S. Navy bibliography → hundreds of RF bioeffects papers.
Allan Frey → microwave hearing & blood‑brain barrier effects.
Arthur Guy → foundational RF dosimetry.
Lai & Singh (1995/96) → DNA strand breaks at low intensities.
CTIA/WTR era → internal “war‑gaming” of unfavorable findings.

Non‑thermal effects were documented. Thermal‑only limits remain a policy choice, not a scientific necessity.

Clean Ether roadmap

Home & school (now)

Phones off‑body; speaker/air‑tubes; shorten on‑head calls.
Wire it where possible; LiFi (802.11bb) for indoor wireless.
Keep routers away from sleeping areas; schedule overnight off.
Prefer text/async; download then offline for media.

Institutions

LiFi for classrooms, libraries, clinics, aircraft cabins.
Buffer RF facilities from play areas; shut school small‑cells after hours.
Buy low‑power APs with sleep modes by default.

Nation

Enforce EPRC; restart federal RF research now.
Protective standards for pulsed/modulated signals, cumulative dose, and child margins for the developing nervous system.
Repeal/repair Section 704; restore community authority.
Adopt a Clean Ether Act: optical indoors by default, RF for mobility and outdoor links.

Find your lawmakers Open Action Hub

Subject: Enforce EPRC (Public Law 90‑602), restore local authority, and move RF health oversight to HHS/EPA

Please:

1) Direct HHS to immediately execute its non‑discretionary EPRC mandate (21 U.S.C. §360hh–ss): research and performance standards for electronic product radiation, including wireless. With NTP’s RF program shut down and no successor executing EPRC scope, HHS is not in compliance.

2) Move RF health oversight to HHS/FDA/NIH with EPA as co‑regulator. Keep FCC on spectrum engineering and auctions, not health.

3) Repeal/repair Section 704 of the 1996 Telecom Act to restore First & Tenth Amendment rights so communities can protect schools and neighborhoods.

4) Modernize RF exposure standards to address pulsed/modulated signals, cumulative exposures, children’s susceptibility, and whole‑body low‑level fields. Mandate LiFi (IEEE 802.11bb) for indoor networks where cost‑effective, reserving RF for mobility.

The evidence is sufficient to act: high‑exposure epidemiology, two concordant animal bioassays, a WHO‑commissioned review rating animal evidence High for glioma and heart schwannoma, robust oxidative‑stress/DNA‑damage mechanisms, and rising population signals.

How to use TruthCase™

Calls: answer/start, then close the cover toward your head; use speaker or wired for long calls.
Pocket: shielded cover toward your body (back pocket is often best).
Night: distance or airplane mode; keep phones away from heads and children’s beds.
Duty cycle: turn off radios you do not need (Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, hotspot).

Protection = design + practice. TruthCase™ enables the practice to work. For a complete walkthrough, see the TruthCase Usage Guide.

Why thin matters

Over‑thick “armor” near antenna zones degrades efficiency and makes phones transmit harder. TruthCase™ stays deliberately slim and antenna‑aware so the phone can do the same job with less output.

Not anti‑radiation. Pro‑truth.

Verify your shield in 60 seconds

What you need

Any basic ohmmeter / multimeter
Your TruthCase™ (front cover open)

Steps

Touch one probe to the exposed test point at the ear‑side speaker aperture.
Touch the other probe to a second point on the cover’s shielding layer.
You should see a low‑resistance path (conductive mesh continuity). That is your verifiable shield.

The Truth Standard™

Principle	Meaning	TruthCase™ Position
Shield the person, not the phone	Place the shield between you & the source during calls and pocket carry.	Front cover toward head/body; directional use is the point.
Keep antennas efficient	Avoid obstructing/detuning radiators (which triggers power boosts).	No metal loops, no magnets, no plate steel; thin near antenna zones.
Continuity at the ear	Do not break the shield path with a large ear‑aligned aperture.	Shielded ear‑side path; continuity in call posture.
Field behavior > fabric %	Measure outcomes in real use, not swatch percentages.	No “99% everywhere” claims; we teach correct use.
Verifiable materials	Let people confirm a conductive shield path.	Ohmmeter‑checkable access in the front cover.

What leaders are telling parents

Keep phones off kids’ bodies: avoid pockets and on‑head calls; use speaker or wired instead.

Quick answers

Does it “block 99%”?

No slogans. Real‑world reduction depends on placement, antenna behavior, and duty cycle. We teach the practice that lowers exposure; we do not promise swatch numbers. For the official compliance numbers, see the Quick SAR Comparison and the SAR share / explainer.

Why avoid magnets/loops/plates?

They obstruct/detune antennas; the phone compensates by transmitting harder. That raises exposure—exactly what we are trying to reduce. The Red Flag Slider shows this clearly.

About the numbers you are about to see

In 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit remanded the FCC’s decision to keep its 1996 RF exposure limits, calling the agency’s explanation “arbitrary and capricious.” Petitioners included Environmental Health Trust and Children’s Health Defense. The court faulted the FCC for failing to address evidence on non‑cancer harms, children, modern signals, whole‑body and long‑term exposures. (opinion · FCC case page · RF SAFE summary: FCC remand overview)

Where today’s limits came from. The FCC’s 1996 rules (codified in 47 CFR § 1.1310) were built from ANSI/IEEE C95.1‑1992 (with lineage back to 1982) and NCRP Report No. 86 (1986). Those documents are thermal frameworks: they aim to prevent short‑term tissue heating. The heritage averaging window is on the order of ~6 minutes for localized exposure; the FCC operationalizes this as a 1.6 W/kg SAR averaged over 1 gram of tissue for portable devices, while ICNIRP’s international scheme uses 10 g/6 min. See also the FCC’s guidance in OET RF Safety / OET Bulletins.

Why that matters now. In the same year (1996), Congress enacted Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act (47 U.S.C. § 332(c)(7)), which preempts local governments from denying antennas “on the basis of the environmental effects of RF emissions” if FCC limits are met. The practical result: communities are bound to 1990s thermal‑only limits, even as decades of peer‑reviewed evidence report non‑thermal biological effects (e.g., oxidative stress, DNA damage, fertility impacts). Treat the SAR values below as an official compliance number—not a complete measure of biological safety.
