What are some good resources debunking Dr. Pall?
So in discussions about cell phone radiation, Martin Pall's name keeps popping up, with claims about how non-ionising radiation causes everything from cancer to autism, and I haven't been able to find any good sources debunking him. Anyone have any good resources they would like to share

Thanks for the links, but I wondered if anyone had something about Pall specifically

Thanks, I've actually started following a couple sceptics on YouTube, but I didn't know about him

I would say he's your absolute best bet for knowing something about this Pall guy; people like him really are his bread and butter, and he covers some pretty obscure ones as well; hard to believe they're real people at times but they are - we're talking 'living on sunlight' and 'microwaves are the cause of all the world's problems' level stuff
![]() There's also someone called Myles Power, but he tends to debunk quite mainstream quackery whereas Sir Sic seems to very much focus on the obscure ones. |

There is a little research that seems to support at least some of Dr. Palls positions, but it's a long way from being conclusive. It certainly merits more study.
