EMF Advocate: Dr. Erica Mallery-Blythe
Dr. Erica Mallery-Blythe is a physician and an advocate for protecting children from the harmful effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs). She is the founder and director of the Physicians’ Health Initiative for Radiation and Environment (PHIRE), which aims to raise awareness and protect public health from the hazards of EMFs.
As a medical doctor with over a decade of experience in various disciplines, including surgery, anesthesiology, obstetrics, pediatrics, and intensive care, Dr. Mallery-Blythe became increasingly concerned about the effects of non-ionizing radiation from wireless devices, cellphones, and Wi-Fi routers. She discovered that even weak electromagnetic fields could cause adverse symptoms such as headaches, insomnia, heart palpitations, tinnitus, and mood disturbance, among others.
Children are particularly vulnerable to EMFs as they have higher exposures and their brains and bodies are still developing. This exposure can lead to long-term adverse health effects that could impact their entire lives. However, Dr. Mallery-Blythe is dedicated to protecting not just children but also vulnerable groups who may be at risk from EMFs. Dr. Mallery-Blythe is not alone in her concerns about the potential health risks of EMFs. A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that long-term exposure to EMFs may increase the risk of various health issues, including cancer, cognitive problems, and neurological disorders.

As a result, Dr. Mallery-Blythe and more than a dozen scientific and medical organizations, including Environmental Health Trust, are calling for a moratorium on the deployment of 5G and for the withdrawal of Wi-Fi, wireless phones, and other RFR emissions from within and near schools. PHIRE is also working to educate medical professionals on electromagnetic radiation-related illnesses and is demanding that policymakers take a zero-tolerance approach to industry influence on public health policy.
Dr. Mallery-Blythe’s work is commendable, and her efforts to raise awareness of the potential risks of EMFs and protect vulnerable groups, such as children, from these hazards should be applauded. Parents, educators, and policymakers should consider their approach to the use of wireless technology in light of the growing evidence of these risks.

As individuals, we should take proactive steps to reduce our exposure to electromagnetic fields, such as limiting cell phone usage, turning off our Wi-Fi routers at night, and creating low-EMF environments in our homes and workplaces. While it is difficult to eliminate EMFs entirely from our lives, following safe practices and limiting our exposure can help reduce risks.
In conclusion, Dr. Erica Mallery-Blythe is a strong advocate for public health and has devoted her career to identifying the symptoms associated with exposure to EMFs and raising awareness of the dangers to which individuals may be exposed. Her work has generated important conversations about public health policy, patient advocacy, and scientific research. It is essential that we continue to engage in these conversations and take steps to prioritize our health and wellbeing in an era of increasing reliance on wireless technology.
