The Microwave Factor

Microwave - and other forms of electromagnetic - radiation are major (but conveniently disregarded, ignored, and overlooked) factors in many modern unexplained disease states. Insomnia, anxiety, vision problems, swollen lymph, headaches, extreme thirst, night sweats, fatigue, memory and concentration problems, muscle pain, weakened immunity, allergies, heart problems, and intestinal disturbances are all symptoms found in a disease process the Russians described in the 70's as Microwave Sickness.

NY Labor Institute Published “Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs): A Training Workbook for Working People” in 1990. Maybe Because They Didn’t Want Sick Employees

By B.N. Frank

Many Americans aren’t aware that Electromagnetic Sensitivity has a long history and has been a federally recognized disability since 2002. It was originally called “Microwave Sickness.” In 2010 experts claimed that up to 1/3 of the population was “sensitive” to some degree to sources of “Electrosmog” and 3% were hypersensitive. They also warned that increasing levels of exposure would lead to more sick people. Research has also indicated that exposure is more harmful to children.

Thanks to Environmental Health Trust for drawing attention to this workbook and providing more details.

*This document was issued in the early 1990’s. The research evidence indicating adverse effects has only increased since that time. Yet the Department of Labor and NIOSH have no authority to take any action and we are not aware of any staff in these federal agencies that have expertise in EMF.
