Medical doctors are largely not made aware of the studies and science available on biological effects of electromagnetic fields in their training.
There is a growing contingent of MDs and holistic practitioners who are becoming wise on the issue, pursuing further training, evaluating the science on this and treating patients with some success. More and more are able to diagnose and treat patients who are experiencing microwave illness and advice on precautionary steps for avoiding long-term disease. Some work hand-in-hand with building biology environmental consultants to help their patients.
One of my favorite MDs attentive to this topic, Sharon Goldberg, spoke on the topic of EMF in a virtual 5G Summit in 2020.
She makes wonderful points that are important to summarize here.
Dr. Goldberg became interested in the link between electromagnetic radiation and health when she noticed that internal medicine patients are becoming younger and younger and they have more and more co-morbid conditions. This means longer medication lists. She realized that environmental exposures and elevated electromagnetic fields (EMF) is a huge part of this.
She stresses that there is a misconception that we don’t know enough about EMF to know whether to warn the public or take measures to protect people and things. This is false. She also stresses that there is a misconception that there are any health protective guidelines out there being adhered to for the public as FCC regulations are set intentionally high for the military and are completely outdated.
The misconception is that we don’t have enough science to make a decision as far as whether or not we need to warn the public, and take action to lower exposures. And this is completely false. We have such clear evidence that microwave radiation, that it is what I would call a broad spectrum pathogen. So it causes all sorts of different diseases. And [it’s] a multi-site carcinogen. So it causes cancer in many different parts of the body.
We understand a whole bunch of basic mechanisms about why this would be. We understand that. So it’s completely false from the scientific perspective when you hear, “Well, we need more research.” “It’s still a debate.” There isn’t anything to debate. That’s I think the biggest misperception out there.
The bottom line is that microwaves, they interfere with normal housekeeping functions in the body. When you microwave a population of people, they get sick.
Dr. Goldberg points out that we actually know so much about the dangerous effects of microwave radiation and EMF on the human body that if you wanted to do a study on the effects exposing one human group to these forces, the study would not be approved by the institutional review board because we already know too much about how harmful it is, that it causes DNA damage, blood brain barrier leakage, cell membrane leakage, and calcium channel issues. Just one of these factors is a big deal but all of them together is a very big deal. While it is not possible to do a controlled study in a lab on these forces, the irony is that we essentially already have with current technology 24/7 mandatory radiation of the entire population. Further rollout of 5G will exacerbate this.
For instance, pregnant women, children, people with chronic conditions, elderly, we know that they’re at a higher risk for having adverse effects. So there’s no informed consent. And there’s no way for them to opt-out of the exposure.
Dr. Goldberg points to a Naval Medical Research Institute from 1971 put out a report on the effects of microwave radiation. Neurasthenia, depression, anxiety, hallucinations, increase irritability, insomnia and loss of memory are all listed in this report from the 70s as effects of microwave radiation. She said,
“We have an epidemic of suicide in the United States now, depression and suicide. That’s been going on. And we have states that have a 50% increase in their suicide rates. … Something organic is going on.”
Regarding further 5G deployment, Dr. Goldberg reminds us that the distance from antenna really matter and that “5G is being rolled out without any kind of pre-market safety testing.” She says that eye damage is a big concern and issue with millimeter wave technology as well as effects on bacteria. “Millimeter waves have been shown to cause antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus and E.coli.” This is in addition to all that we know about diseases elevated radiofrequency fields cause, like dementia, blood pressure issues, memory loss, early dementia, diabetes (unfortunately already an epidemic and now there are phone apps to track it which involves radiation), suicide (already have an epidemic), mood disorders and oxidative stress.
Enough of the bad news. What do doctors like Dr. Goldberg recommend as effective action and areas to address in light of these challenging environmental exposures?
1. Have building biologists go into homes and locate and reduce exposures.
2. “We absolutely need fiber optic.” Wired connections are faster, more secure and involve fewer health-compromising exposures than wireless.
3. Schools need to be wired and low emf environments. “There are serious legal issues with continuing to require mandatory radiation of children in schools.” Cell towers should be far from schools and not pointed at them.
4. Don’t roll out 5G on earth or in space.
5. Occupational hazards need to be looked at. Wireless devices in retail and other professions are an issue.
