Difficulties one may encounter when
searching for information related to studies documenting the health effects of
non-ionizing radiation:
When one performs searches related to the dangers of EMR using a standard search engine, such as Google, it is common to find numerous web pages and articles stating that there is little or no risk from non-ionizing radiation. Most of these articles are not peer-reviewed scientific articles, and many do not even cite any research to support their position that non-ionizing radiation, such as radio waves and microwaves used in communication (i.e. radio, TV, wi-fi, Bluetooth, and mobile communication), is not biologically harmful. The inundation of the internet with these types of articles can make it difficult to find valid research articles that have concluded that RF and microwaves do indeed cause non-thermal biological effects.
Another hindrance to finding scientific articles about the harms of electromagnetic radiation is that relevant studies are published in highly-specialized scientific journals, and these journals limit which articles are directly available to the public. Sometimes, all that is available to read is the Abstract, which is a short summary of the content of the article. If the full text article is available, it may require purchasing, and one may have to pay upwards of about $50 for a PDF of just one article, unless one has an affiliation with a university or other educational institution that allows access to a free copy. After an article's purchase, the article still can't be distributed or published by the purchaser---it is simply theirs to own and read.
The free articles that do appear in a full text version on the internet are often presented on a here today, gone tomorrow, basis. Therefore, if you find a helpful article, it is good practice to save the PDF version to your hard drive so it can be maintained for reference if it later becomes unavailable on the web. If you find that one of the articles linked on Sunrise Redeemer has become unavailable, try searching the title of the article (put the whole title inside quotation marks in your search engine), as it may still be available to read on a different website. All of the linked articles appear on Sunrise Redeemer with their given titles for this very reason.
Be aware that different search engines will yield different results. Don't limit yourself to Google searches. A few other popular search engines to try are duckduckgo.com, bing.com, yandex.com and yahoo.com. If you search for the term "search engines", you will find even more to use. Understand that search engines are fully under the control of the providing company, and that search results are often censored. Information can be blocked from appearing in a search because those in control of the company's search engine have decided not to index certain articles, web pages, or even entire websites. Keep in mind that the technology companies that provide free search engines for public use depend on the ubiquitous usage of wireless communication for their business success. They have a strong financial incentive to conceal information about the dangers of EMR and prevent relevant information from appearing in a search. Therefore, it is often best to go straight to the publishing sources to find articles, rather than rely on a standard search engine.
Below is a list of reputable sources from which to obtain scientific articles relating to the health effects of EMR without relying on a search engine that may be censoring your search results:

million citations and abstracts of biomedical literature. It does not include
full text journal articles; however, links to the full text are often present
when available from other sources, such as the publisher's website or PubMed

A few notes about
reading and interpreting scientific
articles:
Many of the links presented on this website lead to peer-reviewed scientific articles from specialized journals. Unless one has taken college-level science courses, the terminology, the small text, and even the layout of these articles may seem intimidating, but don't turn away and give up!
Start by reading the first part of the article, called the "Abstract", which summarizes the study and findings in one paragraph. The "Introduction" is next. If the study described in the introduction seems too difficult and confusing for one's level of studies, skip all the way to the bottom and read the "Discussion", which is often written in simpler terms for a non-scientist to comprehend. The discussion will explain the results and their interpretation. The scientific articles appearing in these specialized journals are only accepted for publication after other scientists (peers) have reviewed the actual study to determine that valid science was performed. The term "peer-reviewed scientific journal article" describes these kinds of studies deemed by other scientists to be legitimate.
In order to fully believe something, some people prefer having an understanding of exactly what was done, and how the results were interpreted, etc. However, the physical, chemical, and biological knowledge required to comprehend the effects of electromagnetic radiation on cellular organisms is complex. Unless one completed college preparatory science courses in high school, most people will require some college-level science with a concentration in biology and physics to fully comprehend the studies related to the biological effects of electromagnetic radiation. Without sufficient background knowledge to understand the details, one may just have to trust the scientists and their research in some cases.
In the past, when people first started studying the principles of varying branches of science (life, matter, electromagnetism, geology, etc.), science was more about discovering how things worked, and generally, there weren't as many reasons for the scientists of that period to be untruthful regarding their findings. Scientists of the present are not performing the same type of work. It has been revealed by many whistleblowers that sometimes, scientists employed by corporations or governmental agencies, also known as "captured employees", are hired with the understanding that their job is to design studies that indicate a specific, planned result, for the purpose supporting a claim (often that their corporate product or that of another company's is "safe" to use). In other words, these so-called "scientists" are no longer conducting science in the sense of following the scientific method, whereby one has a hypothesis and tests it, and the results are presented exactly as they actually occurred, whether or not they end up supporting the hypothesis. These captured scientists already have a predetermined result in mind. They design the experiment around this result, and manipulate the statistics accordingly, if necessary. If one has studied statistics, one knows there are ways to manipulate the same exact data sets to show completely opposite results. These captured scientists are no longer practicing "science".
Since one will likely never know the honesty level of the scientists who performed a particular study, the best one can do is read the "Conflicts of Interest" section at the bottom of the scientific article. For example, if an entity, such as a wireless phone company, is shown to have funded a study concluding that cell phones were absolutely harmless, this conflict of interest would have to be listed at the bottom of the article in the "Conflicts of Interest" section.
It can be beneficial to check the "References" at the end of a scientific article because many times, clickable links are provided that lead to other relevant research articles listed in the References section. These references can potentially help one to better understand the article they just read. If there is not a clickable link, you can try copying the title of the article with quotation marks around it in a search engine and see if it is available somewhere on the internet.
