Peer-reviewed scientific literature

Citations below identify the supporting literature for each vector at the level of confidence appropriate for a public-reference site. Specific paper-level citations are given where the authors / journal / volume / pages can be confirmed; broader pointers to the established peer-reviewed corpus are given where the underlying body of work spans multiple studies. Readers conducting their own follow-through are encouraged to use these pointers as starting points and consult their physician, toxicologist, or research librarian for primary-source retrieval.

Air — non-thermal EMF / RF

• Frey, A. H. (1962). “Human auditory system response to modulated electromagnetic energy.” Journal of Applied Physiology 17(4): 689–692. Establishes the microwave auditory (Frey) effect underlying the Air vector.
• Pall, M. L. — multiple peer-reviewed publications on voltage-gated calcium channel activation as a primary mechanism of low-intensity microwave radiation effects.
• Salford, L. G., et al. — multiple peer-reviewed publications on effects of microwave radiation on the blood–brain barrier and central nervous system.
• Environmental Health Trust v. FCC, No. 20-1025, US Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, August 2021. Court found FCC's 1996 RF safety standards arbitrary and capricious; remanded for justification.

Light — HEV (blue + violet)

• Brainard, G. C., et al. — foundational studies of the action spectrum for melatonin suppression in humans, identifying the ~460–480 nm peak.
• Hatori, M.; Panda, S. — melanopsin and intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cell research underlying the circadian-disruption literature.
• Photobiology literature on violet-end HEV (~380–420 nm) and retinal pigment epithelium damage: multiple peer-reviewed publications across Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, Photochemistry and Photobiology, and adjacent journals.
• 2017 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine: Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash, Michael W. Young, “for their discoveries of molecular mechanisms controlling the circadian rhythm.”

Water — quinolizidine alkaloids

• Environmental-chemistry literature on quinolizidine-alkaloid leaching from lupines into drainage water and groundwater — multiple peer-reviewed studies across plant-toxin and soil-chemistry journals.
• Wink, M. — foundational work on quinolizidine-alkaloid pharmacology and ecology in lupines.

Milk & beef — tremetol

• Veterinary and agricultural-chemistry literature on tremetone toxicity in cattle and lipophilic contaminant transfer into milk and beef — multiple peer-reviewed studies; recent contributions in Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry and Veterinary Pathology.
• Beier, R. C., et al. — primary chemistry literature on furanoid sesquiterpene ketones from Ageratina altissima.

Honey — grayanotoxin & pyrrolizidine alkaloids

• Toxicology literature on grayanotoxin pharmacology and mad-honey poisoning — multiple peer-reviewed studies; clinical case literature concentrated in cardiology, emergency medicine, and toxicology journals.
• IARC Monographs Volume 10 (1976), Volume 82 (2002) and subsequent volumes — classifications of specific pyrrolizidine alkaloids (riddelliine, lasiocarpine, monocrotaline, senkirkine) as Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans) and certain PA-containing herbal preparations more severely.
• EFSA Panel on Contaminants in the Food Chain — multiple scientific opinions on pyrrolizidine alkaloids in food, underlying EU regulatory limits.

Federal court rulings

• Environmental Health Trust v. FCC, No. 20-1025, US Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, August 2021. Ruled the FCC's 1996 RF safety standards arbitrary and capricious and remanded for justification. Underlies the Air vector.

Regulatory documents

• US Food and Drug Administration, July 2025. Proposed and final rules revoking standards of identity for 52 food categories. Underlies the Regulators page.
• USDA Organic certification standards. National Organic Program (7 CFR Part 205). Defines the analyte and process scope of organic certification; documented to not include the toxins on this site.
• Federal Communications Commission, RF Exposure Guidelines (1996). 47 CFR § 1.1310. The thermal-only standards remanded by the 2021 D.C. Circuit ruling.

Classical and historical sources

• Xenophon. Anabasis 4.8. Documents the mad-honey incident, c. 401 BCE. The earliest detailed record of grayanotoxin poisoning.
• Strabo. Geographica 12.3.18. Documents the Heptacomitae tribe's use of mad honey against Pompey's troops, c. 65 BCE during Pompey's Pontic campaign of 66–63 BCE.
• 1 Enoch (Ethiopian Enoch), c. 3rd century BCE – 1st century CE. Chapter 10. Documents the binding of Azazel in the desert of Dudael.
• Aristotle. Nicomachean Ethics, Book VII. Defines akrasia as the condition of acting against one's own better judgement.
