(Microwave radiation effects on organs and systems of the body)
[Excerpted from Would You Put Your Head in a Microwave Oven?]

The following list includes some common conditions that affect certain organ systems.
The list is not exhaustive but does reflect some of the more common illnesses that
present today. The list is designed to help the average reader see the relationship
between the dosimetry model and the current diseases which affect the general
population. By the same token, for anyone who does research, a rise in the incidence
of any particular disease across broad geographic areas that seems to have the same
rate of change of incidence is probably related to microwave radiation.
The list is not meant to be exhaustive and it does not exclude other factors that may
contribute to illness. The point is that microwave radiation can be a powerful direct or
contributory source of illness that may masquerade amongst the many medical terms
that are used.
Microwave radiation acts indiscriminately, affecting all equally; children, men,
women and the elderly. Note the same also applies to pets, domestic and
undomesticated animals. For that matter, all forms of life. The conditions
referred to below apply equally to children as well as adults with obvious
exceptions.

 Overview of Research Effects
Research has shown such effects on living organisms at molecular and cellular levels
on immune processes, in DNA, on the nervous, cardiac, endocrine, immune, and
reproductive systems, modification of sleep and alteration of the cerebral electric
response (EEG), increase of the arterial pressure and changes in the heart rhythm,
and an increase in the permeability of the blood-brain barrier.
Electromagnetic fields and radiation damage DNA and enhance cell death rates
and therefore they are a Ubiquitous Universal Genotoxic Carcinogen that enhances
rates of cancer, cardiac, reproductive and neurological disease and mortality in human
populations. Therefore there is no safe threshold level. The only safe exposure level
is zero, a position confirmed by dose-response trends in epidemiological studies.

Page 2 Symptoms of Radiofrequency Syndrome (Microwave Sickness)

fillings, impaired sense of smell, ringing in the ears, cold drafts where no air
movement takes place, increased sensitivity to external factors such as noise and
bright light, attacks of giddiness, disturbed dreaming.
Chronic symptoms of microwave sickness are eventually succeeded by crises of
adrenal exhaustion, ischemic heart disease, Alzheimers, cancers in various soft tissue
areas (breasts, ovaries, testicles, eyes) and other organs of the body, etc.
Its first signs [Microwave sickness] are low blood pressure and slow pulse. The later
and most common manifestations are chronic excitation of the sympathetic nervous
system [stress syndrome] and high blood pressure. This phase also often includes
headache, dizziness, eye pain, sleeplessness, irritability, anxiety, stomach pain,
nervous tension, inability to concentrate, hair loss, plus an increased incidence of
appendicitis, cataracts, reproductive problems, and cancer. The chronic symptoms
are eventually succeeded by crisis of adrenal exhaustion and ischemic heart disease
[the blockage of coronary arteries and heart attacks].
Dr. Robert O. Becker (quoted from page 314-315 of his book, The Body Electric)

There are numerous markers, which show very clearly that human biology is being
affected. All of these abnormalities have been shown in scientific studies to be caused
by long-term exposure to microwave and other forms of electromagnetic radiation.
Decreased blood flow in the brain;
Low Natural Killer Cell counts;
Depleted serotonin levels in the blood;
Altered melatonin levels in the blood;
Exhausted adrenal glands;
Reactivated viral infections (e.g. Epstein Barr Virus, Cytomegalo Virus, Human
Herpes 6 Virus, Coxsackie Virus, etc.);
Increased oxidative stress as evidenced by the biological marker MDA;
An abnormality of calcium flux in and out of cells;
T-Helper/T-Suppressor Ratio abnormalities;
Norepinephrine, Acetylcholine, and Dopamine alterations in the brain;
Blood coagulation disorders;
Increased sensitivities and allergic reactions, and so on.

Irreversible cell injury with the resultant loss of vital cell functions
Disruption of cell divisions and chromosomes
Production of genetic mutations
Carcinogenic effects
Electrochemical changes
Seizures, burns, browning skin, buzzing noise, high pitch hearing problems, fever,
cardiovascular collapse, diarrhea, vomiting denaturation from temperature increase, denaturation
from photochemical reactions, leukemogenic effects, weakened immune response, sinus and
coupes, changes in innate and acquired behavior, natural avoidance and escape from radiation
response, shock from waves, hypersensitivity, pressure felt on skull or other parts of body.
Intense sensations of heat below the skin, natural radiation from the sun can only penetrate to
3mm, but artificial man-made radiation from microwaves, infrared can penetrate deep into the
muscles and bones and be felt as heat, pain, electrical shocks, and pressure.
Loss of willpower, unusual organ dysfunction
The U.S. standard limits the exposure level to 10 milliwatts per square centimeter (10mW/sq cm).
Although U.S. government officials as well as representatives for private industry indicate that the
present standard is safe, critics claim evidence to the contrary.
Some Soviet research has found evidence of damage to people caused by microwave levels
considerably below the U.S. standard.

NOTES ON SYMPTOMS

Accumulation. Cumulative exposures can produce symptoms, making

symptoms from chronic exposure more difficult to recognize than from acute
exposure.

Delay. Symptoms can be delayed after acute exposure for a few hours or even
days. This is said to become more common the longer the patient has been
sensitized.

Diurnal state. Symptoms vary according to the diurnal state of the persons body.
A persons own endogenous electromagnetic field often declines during the day.

Duration. Individual symptoms can last for a short or long time. As a group
symptoms can become worse. They can fade after 2-12 months without EMR
exposure.

Frequencies. The sufferer may react first to a single frequency or source but later
to more (e.g. first to Wi-Fi but later to mobile phones and power cables).

Intensity. As the condition progresses the level of sensitivity can increase: a

person may first have pains from a phone next to the head but later from one at 3
meters.

Ionizing similarities. Studies indicate symptoms from exposure to electro-

magnetic (non-ionizing) radiation are similar to those from radioactive (ionizing)
radiation.

Severe reactions. Severe reactions can include paralysis, convulsions, seizures,

loss of consciousness and stroke, or they can exacerbate an existing medical
condition.

Variety. Individual variation in tissue/bone density, acidity, salt content, skin

conductivity, size, etc. affect absorption. This may relate to the variety of
symptoms.
