OM DENNE EPISODE
Welcome to episode 24 of The We Know Show where we delve into the fascinating and often controversial world of electromagnetic radiation and its impacts on our health and environment. Today, we have a very special guest, Arthur Firstenberg. Arthur is a scientist, journalist, and author renowned for his pioneering work on the health and environmental impacts of electromagnetic radiation. A graduate of Cornell University and the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine, Arthur's career path took a significant turn due to an X-ray overdose injury. For the past 38 years, he has dedicated himself to researching, consulting, and lecturing on the effects of electromagnetic radiation.
Arthur is also the author of the groundbreaking book "The Invisible Rainbow," which has sold over 100,000 copies. The book traces the history of electricity from the early 1700s to the present, making a compelling case that many of today's environmental problems and major diseases are linked to electrical pollution. His work challenges us to reconsider the invisible forces that pervade our our planet and its inhabitants and their implications for our future and compels us to question long-held beliefs about the safety of electricity and to advocate for greater awareness and policy changes.
With approximately 400 million electrosensitive individuals globally, Arthur calls for a unification to raise awareness and challenge the pervasive presence of wireless technology. From his early health struggles following the 2G rollout to founding the Cellular Phone Task Force, Arthur has dedicated over four decades to studying electromagnetic fields and advocating for changes in public health policies.
In this episode, we explore the extensive body of research—over 42,000 studies—that underpin his concerns and the imperative to reduce exposure to electromagnetic fields, the relationship between modern diseases and electromagnetic pollution, and the often ignored biological harm caused by wireless radiation. Arthur also touches on the socio-emotional toll of our tech-saturated lives, emphasising the need for individual and collective action to protect our well-being and the environment.
Join us as we unpack these crucial issues, question the impact of our technological advancements, and rally for a future less burdened by radiation. Don't miss this compelling conversation with Arthur Firstenberg, author of "The Invisible Rainbow," as we push the boundaries of understanding and advocacy.
We hope you find this discussion as eye-opening as we did.
