"""From tobacco smoke to chemical pollutants to climate change, Dr. Devra Davis has been in the vanguard of the environmental health frontier. Her experience shedding light on man-made preventable environmental hazards makes the 2023 expanded edition of Disconnect all the more compelling since her original warnings on the biological and environmental effects of cellular radiation are finally raising the alarms that they warrant."" - Mikhail Kogan, MD, Medical Director, George Washington University Center for Integrative Medicine, Associate Professor of Medicine, George Washington University, and founder and member of the Board, AIM Health Institute. ""Devra Davis presents a range of recent and long-suppressed research in this timely bombshell. Cell phone radiation is a national emergency. Stunningly, the most popular gadget of our age has now been shown to damage DNA, break down the brain's defenses, and reduce sperm count while increasing memory loss, the risk of Alzheimer's disease, and even cancer. The growing brains of children make them especially vulnerable."" - Barnes & Noble ""Cellular radiation and the onslaught of 5G is more problematic than most people realize. As Devra Davis keenly explains in Disconnect, it is urgent that parents, school leaders, elected officials, philanthropists and even our environmental health warriors find the bandwidth to lean into this topic and demand safer alternatives to wireless and the thousands of mini cell towers now permeating our landscapes."" - Lendri Purcell, Vice President of Jonas Philanthropies. ""If you or your loved ones have wireless devices, then you should read Disconnect. With her background as a uniquely accomplished scientist and public health advocate who has worked both inside and outside of government, Devra Davis offers invaluable insights on how we are now surrounded by levels of electromagnetic exposures that a strong body of science demonstrates are highly risky to public health, especially to the youngest of us. Davis explains strategies that have allowed telecom and tech industries to enjoy extraordinary growth at great risks to humanity. While the narrative described in Disconnect might seem unbelievable to some, it is recognizable to those familiar with strategies that the tobacco industry used to effectively grow or protect profits as evidence strengthened that smoking cigarettes poses serious health risks. To help our children and grandchildren inherit the best society possible, please read Disconnect and talk about it with others. Disconnect shows us the path forward."" - Sophia Ruan Gush�e, author of A to Z of D-Toxing: The Ultimate Guide to Reducing Our Toxic Exposures, host of Practical Nontoxic Living podcast, and founder of Ruan Living, a nontoxic lifestyle ecosystem."
