I'm a former two way radio tech. Other guys were chasing girls when I was fooling with electronics and restoring old radios. I can tell you that wifi and cellphone power levels are so low (in milliwatts) (mw) that (imo) it's way, way below any level that would do harm, and I'm in my 60's with no ill effects. Now, the cell towers are 300 watts (w) and I wouldn't wanna be sitting under one of those, but a microcell in front of the house? Sure! Verizon can put one on my roof and pay my mortgage and utilities every month. I'd do it! Microcells are in the Mw range also.

Funny how so many studies find a problem with these wavelengths though.

Cell phones are turning us into niggers? That explains a lot.

If there was a leak between your blood brain barrier you'd have what's called a cerebral edema, I had a relative die from one of these. It's something you'd notice pretty god damn quick.

It's not quite so black and white unfortunately. Cerebral edema is more like a catastrophic failure of the BBB, or caused by severe trauma. What's generally thought of as "leaky brain" though, is much more subtle.

Here's an excerpt from Wikipedia:

The blood–brain barrier may become leaky in select neurological diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, epilepsy, brain trauma and edema, and in systemic diseases, such as liver failure.[1] The blood–brain barrier becomes more permeable during inflammation,[1] allowing antibiotics and phagocytes to move across the BBB. However, this also allows bacteria and viruses to infiltrate the blood–brain barrier.[12][15] Examples of pathogens that can traverse the blood–brain barrier include Toxoplasma gondii which causes toxoplasmosis, spirochetes like Borrelia (Lyme disease), Group B streptococci which causes meningitis in newborns,[16] and Treponema pallidum which causes syphilis. Some of these harmful bacteria gain access by releasing cytotoxins like pneumolysin[17] which have a direct toxic effect on brain microvascular endothelium[18] and tight junctions.
