View Original AbstractMicrowave radiation exposure disrupted stomach function and triggered lasting stress hormone changes that persisted for days after exposure ended.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed 17 dogs to microwave radiation on their stomach area and head, then measured stomach electrical activity and stress hormone levels. They found a two-phase response: during exposure, stomach activity decreased while stress hormones increased, but 24 hours later the pattern reversed with higher stomach activity and lower stress hormones. This suggests microwave radiation disrupts normal digestive function and triggers a stress response that persists even after exposure ends.
Why This Matters
This study reveals something concerning about how microwave radiation affects our digestive system and stress response. The two-phase pattern the researchers observed suggests that EMF exposure doesn't just cause immediate effects during exposure, but triggers lasting biological changes that continue for days afterward. What's particularly noteworthy is that the radiation affected both the digestive system directly (through changes in stomach electrical activity) and the body's stress response system (through catecholamine hormones like epinephrine and norepinephrine). While this research was conducted on dogs rather than humans, the biological systems involved are remarkably similar across mammals. The reality is that our phones, WiFi routers, and other wireless devices emit these same microwave frequencies, and this study suggests they may be disrupting fundamental biological processes in ways we're only beginning to understand.
