Nothing Behari has published to date supports such a statement.  Such a
statement is also contradicted for both RF and ELF by a substantial
number
of published peer-reviewed studies.

Of course, X-rays are also electromagnetic radiation and X-rays will
cause
brain cancer in rodents.  But even X-rays would not get you a 95%
incidence
rate.
