Please find below a presentation of her background:
Ellen Marks- United States

Ellie Marks resides in California and is originally from Chicago, Illinois. She is a graduate of the University of Illinois in Urbana, Illinois. Prior to her involvement in the wireless radiation/health issue she was a Realtor in the San Francisco Bay Area for decades. Marks founded the California Brain Tumor Association in 2009. In 2008 her seemingly healthy husband underwent a craniotomy to remove a large brain tumor. Worldwide experts attribute her husband’s brain tumor to his cell phone use. The tumor came back in 2021 and Alan had another craniotomy.

Since going public with this information Marks has met many others who have suffered the same fate. Yet the telecom industry continues to war game excellent science and influence legislators, media and the general public. When you hear cell phones do not cause cancer just think tobacco.

A study shows non-thermal effects below regulatory limits

A study shows non-thermal effects below regulatory limits
By : Phonegate Team • 8 Apr 2025

A study published in Bioengineering (March 2025) by an international team involving researchers from the Sorbonne University and CNRS (France), Naresuan University (Thailand), Xavier University (USA) and the University of Surrey (UK) reveals changes in reactive oxygen species (ROS) in human cells exposed to 1.8 GHz (3G) radiofrequencies, at levels up to 100,000 times lower than current regulatory limits. This scientific work provides new experimental evidence of non-thermal effects, challenging the regulatory paradigm based exclusively on tissue heating (thermal effects) recommended by ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection).

Key points of this study on non-thermal effects

• Rigorous methodology: Shielded exposure system with thermal control (±0.1°C) and in situ dosimetry, eliminating artifacts from previous studies.
• Biphasic effects: Modulation of genes (KIAA, GPX1, SOD2) following a U-shaped curve, with peaks at infinitesimal powers (0.66 µW/m²).
• Identified mechanism: ROS-induced oxidative stress, implicated in neurodegenerative and cancer pathologies.

The authors conclude their findings as follows:

“We believe that this method can help provide a guideline for greater reliability and reproducibility of research results between laboratories, and thus help resolve the current controversy over the underlying mechanisms and outcomes of radiofrequency exposure in the general population.”

United States: The FCC Must Prioritize Public Health Over Telecom Profits

The FCC Must Prioritize Public Health Over Telecom Profits
By The ANH Team, anh-usa.org/, 4 April 2025

For years the FCC has enabled the telecoms industry to treat us like guinea pigs—it’s time to push back. Action Alert!

Listen to the audio version of this article:

• 
  The FCC has been prioritizing telecom profits over public health by failing to update outdated safety standards for wireless radiation, despite growing scientific evidence linking RF exposure to serious health issues like cancer and neurological disorders.

• The agency relies heavily on industry-funded research and self-reported data, with outdated testing protocols that don’t account for children’s vulnerability, while resisting calls for independent testing and transparency.

• Federal actions and proposed legislation have undermined local governments’ ability to regulate 5G infrastructure. We must call for accountability, updated safety guidelines, and a moratorium on 5G expansion until independent research verifies its safety.

Imagine tucking your child into bed at night, unaware that just outside your home, a newly installed 5G tower is exposing your family to levels of wireless radiation that scientists warn could have serious health consequences. Or consider the headache that won’t go away after hours on your smartphone—could it be linked to years of exposure to electromagnetic radiation? While you do your best to protect your loved ones, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is working behind closed doors to make it easier for telecom giants to expand their networks with minimal oversight, all while ignoring growing evidence of health risks. Now, the FCC is asking for public input on regulatory reform—but will it finally prioritize public health over corporate profits, or will it continue to allow the wireless industry to dictate the rules?

20 Minutes [France] corrects on the sly its article on glioblastoma
By : Phonegate Team • 2 Apr 2025

Thanks to Phonegate Alert’s intervention, an initial correction was made to the 20 Minutes article on glioblastomas. We would like to thank the Quebec journalist André Fauteux, who did not hesitate to question the press departments of Santé Publique France (SPF) and the Institut National du Cancer (INCa). However, several major problems remain in the writing of the article, requiring immediate action to re-establish the scientific truth.

INCa’s “imprecise” response

“The only inaccuracy we note in the article concerns the sentence below: “However, the disease remains ‘fairly rare’ in the general population, i.e. 20% of the nearly 5,900 cancers of the central nervous system diagnosed per year according to INCa, and even more so in young people.” This should read “However, the disease remains ‘fairly rare’ in the general population of adolescents and young adults, accounting for 20% of the nearly 5,900 central nervous system cancers diagnosed per year according to INCa”.”

Smartphone and Illness - Commentary

"Smartphone and illness"

Letter of the Day by Meris Michaels published by the Tribune de Genève 2 April 2025 - translation

It is time to consider the potential link between regularly carrying a cell phone in one's trouser pocket and the rising incidence of colorectal cancer in young adults.

A recent study conducted in Chile (De Kun Li et al) concluded that people carrying a cell phone below the waist were four times more likely to develop tumors. According to the study abstract, “young people have been shown to carry their cell phones in their trouser pockets for several hours a day, resulting in significant exposure to radiofrequency radiation in the colorectal region. Intestinal epithelial cells are among the most sensitive tissue cells to radiation exposure”.

Cell phone user manuals advise against carrying a phone on the abdomen, particularly for pregnant women, due to the risk of radiation exposure. Cell phone users, especially young adults, are advised to take precautions to limit their exposure: by using speaker mode or wired earphones, and by avoiding carrying their phone directly on their body.

Article published by the Tribune de Genève related to this commentary:

"Colorectal cancer is unexplainably increasing among "young people" :

Excerpt: This is worrying because, at present, there is no explanation for this early onset. "The risk factors are probably the same as for the older population, namely a combination of non-modifiable causes – including genetics – but above all an increase in modifiable factors – tobacco, alcohol, red meat, a sedentary lifestyle, excess weight, etc. What we don't understand is what this patient was exposed to differently compared to the previous generation."
