Podcasts about Radiation

There is a house in Auburn, California, with a tragic history and a new tenant. Jean Averaud has come from New Orleans with money, with books, with a beautiful mute woman who watches him with eyes full of something between devotion and dread. He has come with a theory about evil — not the Devil, not sin, not the ordinary darkness of human nature, but evil as a cosmic force, a radiation from a black sun somewhere in the depths of space.And he has come with a purpose. In the old Larcom house, with its history of sorrow and disaster, he has found exactly the conditions he needs. His neighbour, a novelist, finds himself drawn into Averaud's orbit. Clark Ashton Smith's The Devotee of Evil is a quiet story. It does not rush. It thinks. And what it thinks about has been troubling philosophers and theologians for two thousand years. The Devotee of Evil was first published in Smith's self-produced chapbook The Double Shadow and Other Fantasies in 1933, after failing to find a commercial publisher. It reappeared in Stirring Science Stories in February 1941. Clark Ashton Smith (1893–1961) was a California poet, painter, sculptor and writer of weird fiction, one of the central figures of the Weird Tales circle alongside H.P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard, with whom he maintained a long correspondence.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-classic-ghost-stories-podcast--7002956/support.*To buy my paperback books:* https://books.by/tony-walker-booksThe Classic Ghost Stories Newsletter — short essays on the genre, odd discoveries, and recommendations.

It's Women's Health Month — which means a lot of awareness messaging and a lot of conversation about why women's health matters. But today, we're going a level deeper. Because awareness doesn't save lives. Action does. Infrastructure does. Investment does. And honest conversations about why the system isn't working equally for everyone — those matter too. My guest today is Jenica Patterson — a neuroscientist turned health systems architect who is doing the hard work of figuring out why women's health is so chronically underinvested and what it will take to fix it. She leads the Women's Health Network at the Milken Institute, one of the most powerful cross-sector coalitions in this space. Before that, she built a $113 million federal program at ARPA-H (the Advanced Research Project Agency for Health) specifically designed to fast track innovation in women's health. Komen is focused on breast health access — and the sobering reality that where you live and what you look like still determine whether you get a timely mammogram, an accurate diagnosis or the best possible care. Jenica has the research, the relationships and the conviction to tell us exactly why that is — and what's possible. Key Takeaways: Women's health inequities are systemic, not individual. Nearly 30% of U.S. counties do not have a mammography machine. Women's health has historically been underrepresented in research and clinical development. Innovation alone is not enough without integration. Momentum in women's health is growing.

Scientists studying sea turtle navigation just revealed something surprising about how wireless radiation affects biological systems. Their findings suggest our bodies may be more vulnerable to RF interference than we realized. In this episode, I break down groundbreaking research on loggerhead turtles that discovered two separate magnetic sensing systems -- and how radiofrequency fields selectively disrupted one while leaving the other intact. This has profound implications for understanding how wireless radiation might affect human biology.

"When you have benign conditions, we're actually treating 3 gray, so a significant difference [versus doses of 60 gray for brain cancer]. Typically, when you treat at a high dose, the goal is to destroy tissue, like cancer tissue or cancer cells. But when we give a low dose, the goal is actually to modulate inflammation. And what it does is it slows down those inflammatory cells or those cells that release the chemicals that cause pain and inflammation," Amanda Meyer, DNP, APRN, CNP, family nurse practitioner in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about radiation therapy for noncancer indications.

Highlights From This Episode "We always typically think of it as cancer treatment, but we can use radiation for noncancerous conditions, as well. And radiation was actually used for benign diseases right after the discovery of x-rays. By the 1920s it was used a lot for different types of musculoskeletal, dermatologic issues, and different types of inflammatory conditions. And over time, since the 1920s, we've actually really gotten a really good understanding of it." TS 1:37 "When we're looking at what are good candidate characteristics, we do typically like older patients, so patients over the age of 65. And the rationale behind that is we know that there is a potential for a secondary risk of a skin cancer about 20 to 30 years after getting low-dose radiation, like a basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer. The older the patient is, the less likely they are to have any adverse effects from that." TS 8:22 "When we do the low-dose radiation, they've tried other measures that haven't been successful. However, we don't want a patient who is so severe that they're ready for surgery, when they're bone on bone, because we know that radiation isn't as effective when they are that severe. So there's this sweet window where low-dose radiation works best in these patients." TS 9:39 "When we're treating with a little bit higher dose for like a Dupuytren's or a Ledderhose, because it's an anti-proliferative dose, those patients, they do get more skin redness, more dry skin. That's very temporary, and it resolves within a week or two after treatment. But really, we don't see any acute side effects. The long-term side effect of the radiation-induced malignancy, again, is a very low—0.05% according to some of the European guidelines." TS 12:34 "I really wish people appreciated how interdisciplinary this is. We need to get referrals from family medicine and from primary care and internal medicine and pain medicine physicians and inflammatory physicians and podiatry and pain specialists. And we really need to use this multidisciplinary approach to get earlier referrals for patients because there is this sweet window of time where low-dose radiation works the best." TS 18:40

Episode 9: Summer After Radiation Summer looked very different after treatment. In Episode 9 of My 15 Years, Melody reflects on her first summer after plaque brachytherapy and what it was like adjusting to life just one month after radiation treatment. She talks about learning to embrace a “new normal,” navigating summer activities differently, and finding ways to still enjoy vacations, sunshine, and time with loved ones while adapting to changes in vision and recovery. This episode also highlights the importance of sun safety and awareness, including conversations around:

Scientists studying sea turtle navigation made a discovery that reveals something profound about how wireless radiation affects biological systems. New research on loggerhead turtles shows they use two separate biological mechanisms to navigate the ocean -- and radiofrequency fields can disrupt one while leaving the other intact. This finding demonstrates the exquisite sensitivity of electromagnetic detection systems that evolved over millions of years, and raises important questions about how wireless radiation might affect similar systems in humans.

Dr. Justin Abbatemarco and Dr. Kait Nevel discuss tips and tricks for managing radiation necrosis in hospitals and outpatient settings.  Show transcript:  Dr. Justin Abbatemarco: Hello, and welcome. This is Justin Abbatemarco, and I just finished interviewing Kate Neville about radiation necrosis following radiosurgery. Kait is a neuro-oncologist at Indiana University. Kait, maybe we could just start with what this entity looks like and some tips and tricks on how we can manage in that hospital or in the outpatient setting when we were picking this up. Dr. Kait Nevel:  Yeah. Radiation necrosis can present in a variety of ways. People with radiation necrosis can be completely asymptomatic. In fact, most patients with radiation necrosis are asymptomatic. But symptoms can include things like headaches, seizures, and then focal neurologic deficits related to where the radiation necrosis is located. Imaging-wise, radiation necrosis typically looks like necrotic enhancing lesion as the name implies. Typically, we look at certain anatomical characteristics on standard MRI like vague enhancement along the edges, et cetera, but perfusion can be very helpful including cerebral blood volume, which is typically low in cases of radiation necrosis and high in cases of tumor progression. But this is a really big challenge in neuro-oncology, and differentiating radiographically between tumor and radiation injury. Dr. Justin Abbatemarco: I would encourage people to listen to podcast. We talked a little bit about medications, how to dose dexamethasone and others, and how we think through that. So please jump on and take a listen, and then join us back for the next Neurology Minute. We're going to talk about some evidence for supplement use in this disease. So Kait, thank you.  Dr. Kait Nevel: Great. Thank you.

While menopause is often associated with aging, many women facing breast cancer experience it suddenly and much earlier than expected—bringing a wave of physical and emotional changes. From managing intense symptoms to confronting fears about future family-building, the journey can feel overwhelming. On today's episode, we are joined by Melody Johnson, a nurse practitioner who specializes in caring for women navigating these exact challenges. She will help us understand how treatment-induced menopause differs from natural menopause and the strategies available to cope with side effects while already carrying so much. We'll also take a closer look at fertility—an especially emotional and complex issue for younger women diagnosed before they've had the chance to start or grow their families. Whether you're newly diagnosed, supporting someone who is, or simply want to better understand this critical aspect of women's health, this conversation is here to inform, support, and remind you: you are not alone on this journey. What You'll Learn: • The difference between treatment-induced and age-related menopause • Common symptoms and why they can feel more severe during cancer treatment • How to manage menopause side effects alongside a breast cancer diagnosis • Fertility preservation options, including egg freezing and when to consider them • Why self-advocacy is critical when discussing fertility with your care team Chapters: 00:00 Introduction to treatment-induced menopause 01:29 Melody Johnson's background in oncofertility 02:45 What to expect from menopause symptoms 05:05 Key differences between induced and natural menopause 06:24 Managing symptoms during treatment 08:29 Fertility concerns for younger women 10:25 Is treatment-induced menopause permanent? 11:53 Questions to ask your doctor 13:24 Why these conversations matter 14:48 Final advice for women navigating fertility after diagnosis Learn more at komen.org and realpink.komen.org BreastCancer #Fertility #Menopause #WomensHealth #Oncofertility #CancerSupport #ReproductiveHealth #RealPink Real Pink, by Susan G.

"Skin reactions, such as redness, dryness, and just irritation of the skin, can occur. Since we're irradiating the lung, we can also cause a cough, and that's due to the inflammation from the radiation. Patients can also get esophagitis if the tumor that we're treating is close to the midline of the chest near the esophagus. And probably the most common side effect that we see is fatigue," ONS member Amy MacRostie, RN, OCN®, radiation oncology nurse at St. Charles Cancer Center in Bend, OR, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about radiation side effects in lung cancer.

Highlights From This Episode "The types of radiation that can be used are external beam radiation and stereotactic body radiation treatment, or SBRT. External beam radiation is often used in combination with other treatment modalities, like chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy, to treat these cancers. And SBRT is usually done solo, and it's a highly precise treatment for inoperable or early-stage lung cancers." TS 1:52 "[Physicians and] providers can also help prevent side effects by reducing the dose to the heart and reducing the dose to the good lung tissue, if you will, as much as they possibly can. And this is done using intensity-modulated techniques, or IMRT. And that's where the linear accelerator sculpts the radiation beams conforming to the shape of the tumor itself." TS 6:37 "I think overall cancer treatment can lead to decreased libido and decreased sexual interest. Depression and fear can definitely play a role in this. And with lung radiation, specifically, fatigue and possibly shortness of breath with the exertion may decrease sexual interest. Nurses and providers should support the patient in their desire or lack thereof in sexual activities. We should have open discussions … and these can take place with patients about intimacy and how that can be approached in a different way that can accommodate for the side effects that the patients might be experiencing." TS 8:57 "Post-radiation scans will be abnormal. Post-radiation imaging can be misread as a progression of disease or residual disease. And I tell patients, 'Don't panic. Talk to your radiation oncologist so they can read the imaging themselves and interpret the results.' Oftentimes what's read as progression is radiation treatment sequela of scarring or fibrosis." TS 11:25

Today's conversation is one that so many mothers will feel deep in their bones because it talks about what happens when life asks you to be the one who needs care. Our guest today has lived that shift in a profound way. In the midst of raising her young children, navigating the everyday chaos and fiercely advocating for her youngest daughter, Nylah, who was born with congenital heart disease, Nisha Jaime was suddenly diagnosed with breast cancer. There is an emotional whiplash to being the strong one for your child and then suddenly needing that same strength for yourself. Nisha will talk to us about what that was like and how she balanced it all with the help of her village. We'll talk about the ongoing realities of survivorship, including things like scanxiety and continued care and how her children are involved in her journey. Most importantly, we'll hear how she has turned her experience into support for other mothers walking a similar path and why that mission matters so deeply to her.

Radiation is the invisible enemy we fight every day, spiking unexplainable headaches, sparking inconvenient nosebleeds, difficulty sleeping, hair loss, diarrhea, severe fatigue, vomiting, memory and concentration issues, shortness of breath, etc. The dangers posed by rising tech, and in particular, 5G cell towers, home internet routers, and household tablets, are very real. Thanks to Dr. William Lee, the president and owner of AlphaLab Inc., created a device that can measure the levels of EMF (electromagnetic fields) and RF (radio frequencies) in your environment. The TriField EMF Meter Model TF2, can gauge EMF and RF levels from gadgets like: mobile phones, cell towers, Wi-Fi routers, laptops, appliances, and even wiring in the walls. William's clever invention will warn you of any EMF and RF overload threatening your family. This gadget is very simple to use. TAKEAWAYS Radiation is an invisible but dangerous side effect of modern tech Any level of EMF is unhealthy Humans have only been exposed to radiation recently - for the previous thousands of years, it wasn't a problem Use code TINA for a 10% discount on the TriField EMF Meter TF2 and any other products here: Trifield.com

A comprehensive 2025 review of 52 animal studies found high-certainty evidence that radiofrequency radiation causes brain and heart tumors in laboratory animals -- the same tumor types linked to cell phone use in humans. This systematic review represents the most comprehensive analysis of RF-EMF cancer studies in laboratory animals to date, strengthening the case for radiofrequency radiation as a human carcinogen. The convergence between controlled animal experiments and human epidemiological studies provides compelling evidence that current safety standards may be inadequate.

5G cell towers are rapidly spreading, promising increased speed of wireless telecommunications and supposedly tightening worldwide wireless pathways. But there is a dark side to this technology - it's not really meant for communication between humans! “5G is meant for industrial use and machine-to-machine communication,” says Odette Wilkens, President & General Counsel of Wired Broadband, Inc. Odette explains the ever-searching, invisible radiation beams of 5G and how wireless technology, including 5G, harmfully intersect with the human body. This technology is so dangerous, in fact, that it is currently used as a military weapon, called “Active Denial” as a form of crowd control. Additionally, wireless radiation, such as from 5G, reacts with any metals in the body, including medical implants, such as a pacemaker. TAKEAWAYS Technology is designed to become obsolete every five years, forcing consumers to buy the next product with harmful side effects Wireless radiation exposure causes oxidative stress and clumps red blood cells together, potentially sparking chromosomal damage HR 2289 is proposed legislation that would give government and telecom companies the right to place dangerous cell towers anywhere HR 2289 would overrule local zoning ordinances and transfer review processes to the federal level

Strong outcomes often come from slowing down—not rushing into irreversible decisions.In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti questions the automatic path from elevated PSA to biopsy, surgery, and radiation. He explains that biopsies can disseminate prostate cells, while the true impact on long-term metastatic risk remains uncertain. His approach favors sequential PSA monitoring, imaging, and disciplined observation over immediate intervention.Evidence does not clearly show that surgery or radiation extend life for many men, yet the side effects are well known which are sexual dysfunction, urinary issues, and metabolic decline. Supporting immunity, metabolic health, and overall resilience may matter more than acting quickly.Rethink your options and choose a path that protects both your health and your quality of life.

What does it take to turn the most terrifying moment of your life into a movement? For Yvonne McLean Florence, it started with discovering a lump she acted on right away. Yvonne is a HER2-positive breast cancer survivor, ordained minister, Worship in Pink Ambassador, former founder of Sisters R Us Circle of Survivors (SRUCOS) and is currently the reigning Ms. Pennsylvania Senior America 2025. But before all of that, she was a wife, a mother, a grandmother — and suddenly, a patient. In this powerful episode of Real Pink, Yvonne joins host Adam Walker to talk about what it felt like to receive a life-changing diagnosis, how her faith in God, family and friends carried her through chemotherapy and Herceptin infusions, and why she didn't stop when treatment ended. She'll share how she's bringing the conversation about breast health into churches across Philadelphia through Worship in Pink, what it means to build a Cancer Survivorship Resource Nook inside a congregation, and why she would like every survivor to discover how they can also reach back. This episode is part of our Health Equity Revolution series, which lifts up the voices, stories and solutions of the communities most impacted by breast cancer disparities.

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when a cancer diagnosis becomes the spark that launches a full-time outdoor adventure career? This week on Hikes and Mics, I sit down with Alec — travel writer, photographer, and the force behind Explore with Alec, for one of the most honest and inspiring conversations we've had on the show. Alec is a two-time cancer survivor and bone marrow transplant recipient whose brush with mortality completely redefined his relationship with the outdoors. From hiking across the Grand Canyon mid-radiation to summiting Mount Whitney on a whim, he turned adversity into a life built around adventure.In this episode, we talk about his first post-treatment backpacking trip with his dad in Sedona, why the hardest places to reach are often the most worth protecting, and what it's really like to build a business around the outdoors — late nights, protein bar dinners, and the Enumclaw Taco Bell included.Alec also takes us inside his most unforgettable wildlife encounters — from coastal brown bears in Alaska to mountain gorillas in Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park — and shares the networking tip that changed how he lands major clients like National Geographic Travel.Plus — we break down the biggest barriers keeping people out of nature and what creators like Alec are doing to close that gap.

A new twenty twenty-five review reveals how the same radiofrequency electromagnetic fields we worry about from cell phones might actually be used to treat cancer. Cancer cells have different electrical properties than healthy cells -- and researchers are exploring how to exploit this difference therapeutically. Early clinical trials suggest RF-EMF treatments can produce sustained cancer responses with minimal side effects compared to traditional therapies. In This Episode How cancer cells' altered electrical properties make them vulnerable to targeted EMF Clinical trial results showing sustained responses with minimal side effects What this paradox means for our understanding of EMF health effects Featured Study Read the full study: Such non-linear responses have been described previously for a range of RF-EMF induced outcomes See all studies at shieldyourbody.com/research

Millions of women in the U.S. can access no cost screening mammograms, but if the patient is at a higher risk of breast cancer or the mammogram reveals an abnormality, the cost of imaging makes it unattainable for many. Komen has worked with state legislature to eliminate the patient's out-of-pocket costs. Unfortunately, not all states have passed such laws, and federal legislation is still pending. Susan G. Komen's Center for Public Policy is championing legislation that addresses this significant flaw in health care insurance coverage and ensuring all people have access to high-quality, affordable care.

Shivam: My name is Shivam Patel and I'm currently a 3rd year medical student from Western university and today we will be discussing Chronic Pain After Cancer with an emphasis on Improving functionality in cancer survivors and how it overlaps with musculoskeletal dysfunction. We will also talk about the management of pain in outpatient settings as well as the role acute rehab units can play in recovery. Arreaza: Before getting into specific considerations, let's start with a framework most clinicians are familiar with, standard, guideline-based management of upper extremity pain. Typical approach of a patient with shoulder or upper extremity pain Shivam: The standard approach for any patient coming in with a musculoskeletal issue is stepwise and conservative first. Initial management includes activity modification, NSAIDs or acetaminophen for pain control, and early referral to physical therapy depending on severity and duration. If symptoms persist, we escalate. That may include imaging—usually starting with X-ray, then MRI if indicated, and consideration of corticosteroid injections, particularly for conditions like subacromial impingement or adhesive capsulitis which are commonly seen especially following breast cancer treatment. Arreaza: Most guidelines emphasize avoiding early imaging unless there are red flags like trauma, neurologic deficits, or suspicion for malignancy or infection. The reason behind this recommendation is that if you image the population of people older than 50 years old, about 40% of people show rotator cuff tears or damage.  Shivam: When I First heard about this statistic as a medical student, I was shocked and it opened my eyes to the potential downsides of overimaging. We also emphasize maintaining mobility. For example, in adhesive capsulitis, early range-of-motion exercises are key, not immobilization. Arreaza: Exactly. “Motion is lotion” (Dr. Uy's mantra). Shivam: And pharmacologically, we're moving toward a multimodal approach. NSAIDs are first line when tolerated. Topical agents like diclofenac can be useful. Neuropathic agents like gabapentin or duloxetine are only considered if there's a neuropathic component. Arreaza: And a key element is that opioids are not first-line for chronic musculoskeletal pain. Shivam: Yes, that's a key point. Current guidelines recommend minimizing opioid use, reserving them for severe, refractory cases, and even then, for short durations with clear treatment goals. Arreaza: Now, let's transition this framework into cancer survivors.  Shivam: The challenge is that many of these patients present with similar complaints. In the upper extremities, for example, they present with shoulder pain, weakness, stiffness, but the underlying causes are more complex. Particularly in cancer survivors, upper extremity pain is often multifactorial. You still have mechanical issues but layered on top are treatment-related effects such as surgical disruption of anatomy, radiation-induced fibrosis, chemotherapy-induced neuropathy, and generalized deconditioning. Arreaza: Let's take an example: THIs a 55-year-old female, s/p left mastectomy and chemoradiation, completed her cancer treatment 1 year ago and now she is presenting with shoulder pain. So, how do we approach this patient? Shivam: This was a specific case I had the pleasure of familiarizing myself with however it is important to acknowledge just how many patients in America share similar experiences due to the incidence of breast cancer. If we approach this as a typical rotator cuff issue, we might miss key contributors that have been seen in cancer survivors like pectoralis tightness from radiation, scapular dyskinesis from surgery, or even early lymphedema. Arreaza: Right, and that changes management. Because if you don't address those underlying contributors, standard treatments may only provide partial or temporary relief. Shivam: Exactly. And this is where we start to see the limitations of a purely symptom-based approach. Let's zoom out again. There are nearly 19 million cancer survivors in the U.S., and that number is increasing due to rapidly improving cancer treatment options. With that, we're seeing more long-term sequelae—especially involving the musculoskeletal system. Arreaza: Some symptoms in cancer survivors are reduced mobility, persistent fatigue, weakness, and impaired return to activities of daily living. And this may lead to chronic pain and reduced quality of life.  Shivam: As a side note, we can also acknowledge the impact of mental and psychological aspects on patients who have cancer or any other chronic condition. If they are depressed or less motivated to be active, participate in therapy, the deconditioning effect can be exacerbated in these patients.  Arreaza: Great point, and also, this is a population that is often under-referred to rehabilitation services. We hope we can increase awareness today. Shivam: Yes, some sources state that only around 30% of those that qualify for acute rehab are referred to it. Which is surprising, because rehabilitation directly addresses many of these issues that cancer patients experience—strength deficits, mobility limitations, and functional decline. Arreaza: Let's talk about pathophysiology for a moment. Why do these patients develop chronic pain? Shivam: A major factor is deconditioning. During cancer treatment, patients often reduce their activity levels significantly. That leads to loss of muscle mass, decreased endurance, and altered biomechanics. Arreaza: I see, sarcopenia plays a role in the development of pain in these patients.  Shivam: And once pain develops, it further limits activity, reinforcing that cycle—pain → inactivity → deconditioning → more pain. On top of that, structural changes, often caused by fibrosis from radiation, reduce tissue elasticity, limit range of motion, and contribute to stiffness and pain. Arreaza: And neuropathic pain from chemotherapy adds another layer—burning, tingling, or hypersensitivity—which requires a different treatment approach. So, given this complexity, how should we as clinicians adjust our assessment of pain in these patients? Shivam: I think it's very important to start with a thorough history to ensure we don't miss any past history of chronic conditions or intensive treatment for prior medical diagnoses. First, we need to broaden the differential. Don't assume it's a single pathology. Second, incorporate function into our assessment. Ask the patient: What can you do? What can't you do?  Additionally, I think it's very important to ask what your patient's goals are for themselves and what they would like to accomplish.  _____________________ References:  Stubblefield, M, Upper Body Pain and Functional Disorders in Patients With Breast Cancer. PM&R, 2014; 6:170 - 183​. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24360839/ Cohen, E, American Cancer Society Head and Neck Cancer Survivorship Care Guideline, Ca Cancer Journal Clin. 2016;0-36​. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27002678/ Stubblefield, M, Radiation Fibrosis Syndrome: Neuromuscular and Musculoskeletal Complications in Cancer Survivors​. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22108231/ Silver JK, Raj VS, Fu JB, Wisotzky EM, Smith SR, Kirch RA.

Is your prostate running your life? If you're tired of the "trickle," the midnight bathroom runs, and pills that don't seem to work, it's time to talk about Aquablation.In this episode, Dr. Geo sits down with Dr. Brian Helfand, a world-renowned urologist and genetics expert, to discuss a breakthrough in Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) treatment. Unlike traditional surgeries that can leave you with "dry orgasms" or permanent side effects, Aquablation uses a robotic-controlled, high-pressure cold water jet to clear the path—without the heat, without the scalpels, and with a primary focus on preserving sexual function.

New research reveals that five G radiation at twenty-eight gigahertz -- the same frequency used in urban five G networks -- significantly worsens heart damage from chemotherapy drugs. In this episode, I break down a groundbreaking study showing how millimeter wave radiation amplifies the cardiotoxic effects of doxorubicin, a widely used cancer treatment. The researchers found that even short-term exposure to five G frequencies reduced protective enzymes and increased cell death signals in heart tissue. What makes this particularly concerning is that millions of cancer patients may be receiving these treatments while living in five G-dense environments.
