Is 5G Causing Radiation Sickness?
THE PROBLEM IS NOT JUST 5G (fifth generation wireless technology)!ALL TYPES OF MANMADE RADIATION ARE HARMFUL, including radiowaves, microwaves, and millimeter waves.
The symptoms people are experiencing that are being attributed to the coronavirus are the exact same symptoms of radiation sickness or Electromagnetic Sensitivity.
Just look at these symptoms!
- loss of taste and smell
- stroke and seizures
- “fizzing” and an electrical feeling on the skin
- a burning feeling on the skin (which is EXACTLY what happens with 5G military weapons)
- neurological problems such as dizziness, headaches and impaired consciousness
- heart problems and heart attacks (which are CLEARLY a result of exposure to PULSED MICROWAVES that disrupt the electrical signaling of the human body)
- HEART RUPTURE (BTW, hearts do NOT rupture from a VIRUS! But they can and do rupture from exposure to PULSED acoustic and/or microwave frequencies)
- damage to men’s testicles (in case you did not know – exposure to any form of man-made radiation destroys male fertility)
- clotting of the blood that immediately makes me think of what happens to the blood when it is exposed to WIFI radiation
5G – FROM BLANKETS TO BULLETS
By Arthur Firstenberg
January 22, 2018
"A million powerful beams whizzing by us at all times."
The single most important fact about 5G that nobody is talking about is called “phased array.”
It will totally change the way cell towers and cell phones are constructed and will transform the blanket of radiation which has enveloped our world for two decades into a million powerful beams whizzing by us at all times.
Blake Levitt, author of Electromagnetic Fields: A Consumer’s Guide to the Issues and How to Protect Ourselves (Harcourt Brace, 1995), brought this to my attention. A mutual friend, with whom I was speaking during the campaign to defeat S.B. 649 in California, passed on a message from Blake:
“5G antennas will be phased arrays; Arthur will know what that means.”
And I did.
Phased arrays were one of the first things I learned about in the very beginning of my long, involuntary journey from medical student to campaigner against wireless technology.
After I was injured by X-rays in 1980, I began to read everything I could get my hands on that had to do with electromagnetic radiation and its effects on life.
And one of the first books I read was Paul Brodeur’s The Zapping of America (W.W. Norton, 1977).
Early warnings
Brodeur was a staff writer for the New Yorker who had purchased property on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, only to discover that 30 miles inland, across the bay from his future home, the Air Force was planning to construct the world’s most powerful radar station.
It was going to scan the Atlantic Ocean as a key early warning element protecting us against the threat of sea-launched ballistic missiles from the Soviet Union.
Although it emitted an average power of only 145,000 watts, similar to some FM radio stations, it did not broadcast that energy from only a single antenna and it did not spread that energy out uniformly in all directions.
Instead, it had 3,600 antennas arranged in two “phased arrays” of 1,800 antennas each.
The antennas in each array worked together as a unit to focus all their energy into a narrow, steerable beam.
Each beam had an effective power of four billion watts, and the peak radiation level exceeded 0.3 milliwatt per square centimeter—the FCC’s safety limit today—at a distance of ten miles in front of the radar station.
The facility was called PAVE PAWS (Precision Acquisition of Vehicle Entry Phased Array Warning System).
The Defense Department acknowledged in a 1975 report, quoted by Brodeur, that such systems “energize thousands of operational elements, are electronically steered at high search rates, and operate at a frequency range having a maximum whole body energy transfer to man and for which little bioeffects data exists.”
Shortly after I read this, I discovered firsthand what some of the bioeffects were.
Attempting to finish my M.D. almost cost me my life. I collapsed one day with all the symptoms of a heart attack, whereupon I resigned from school and moved up to Mendocino to recover. There I was in the path of the other PAVE PAWS, the one that scanned the Pacific Ocean.
This PAVE PAWS was due east of Mendocino, in California’s Central Valley at Beale Air Force Base. And for nine months, every evening at precisely 7:00 p.m., no matter where I was or what I was doing, my chest would tighten and I would be unable to catch my breath for the next two hours. At precisely 9:00 p.m., my body would relax and I could breathe.
I lived in Mendocino from 1982 through 1984, and although I eventually recovered my health, I was always aware of an uncomfortable pressure in my chest whenever I was on the coast.
I also lived in Mendocino from 1999 to 2004, and felt that same discomfort whenever I was there, and always felt it suddenly vanish when I drove out of range of PAVE PAWS, and suddenly return at the same point on my journey home.
Directed beams
5G is going to be at a much higher frequency range, which means the antennas are going to be much smaller—small enough to fit inside a smartphone—but, like in PAVE PAWS, they are going to work together in a phased array; and, like in PAVE PAWS, they are going to concentrate their energy in narrow, steerable high power beams.
The arrays are going to track each other, so that wherever you are, a beam from your smartphone is going to be aimed directly at the base station (cell tower), and a beam from the base station is going to be aimed directly at you.
If you walk between someone’s phone and the base station, both beams will go right through your body.
The beam from the tower will hit you even if you are standing near someone who is on a smartphone.
And if you are in a crowd, multiple beams will overlap and be unavoidable.
At present, smartphones emit a maximum of about two watts, and usually operate at a power of less than a watt.
That will still be true of 5G phones; however, inside a 5G phone there may be 8 tiny arrays of 8 tiny antennas each, all working together to track the nearest cell tower and aim a narrowly focused beam at it.
The FCC has recently adopted rules allowing the effective power of those beams to be as much as 20 watts.
Now, if a handheld smartphone sent a 20-watt beam through your body, it would far exceed the exposure limit set by the FCC.
What the FCC is counting on is that there is going to be a metal shield between the display side of a 5G phone and the side with all the circuitry and antennas.
That shield will be there to protect the circuitry from electronic interference that would otherwise be caused by the display and make the phone useless.
But it will also function to keep most of the radiation from traveling directly into your head or body and; therefore, the FCC is allowing 5G phones to come to market that will have an effective radiated power that is ten times as high as for 4G phones.
What this will do to the user’s hands, the FCC does not say.
And who is going to make sure that when you stick a phone in your pocket, the correct side is facing your body?
And who is going to protect all the bystanders from radiation that is coming in their direction that is ten times as strong as it used to be?
And what about all the other 5G equipment that is going to be installed in all your computers, appliances, and automobiles?
The FCC calls handheld phones “mobile stations.” Transmitters in cars are also “mobile stations.”
But the FCC has also issued rules for what it calls ”transportable stations,” which it defines as transmitting equipment that is used in stationary locations and not in motion, such as local hubs for wireless broadband in your home or business.
The FCC’s new rules allow an effective radiated power of 300 watts for such equipment.
Enormous power
The situation with cell towers is, if anything, worse.
So far the FCC has approved bands of frequencies around 24 GHz, 28 GHz, 38 GHz, 39 GHz, and 48 GHz for use in 5G stations, and is proposing to add 32 GHz, 42 GHz, 50 GHz, 71-76 GHz, 81-86 GHz, and above 95 GHz to the soup.
These have tiny wavelengths and require tiny antennas.
At 48 GHz, an array of 1,024 antennas will measure only 4 inches square. And the maximum radiated power from a base station will probably not be that large—tens or hundreds of watts. But, just as with PAVE PAWS, arrays containing such large numbers of antennas will be able to channel the energy into highly focused beams, and the effective radiated power will be enormous.
The rules adopted by the FCC allow a 5G base station operating in the millimeter range to emit an effective radiated power of up to 30,000 watts per 100 MHz of spectrum.
And when you consider that some of the frequency bands the FCC has made available will allow telecom companies to buy up to 3 GHz of contiguous spectrum at auction, they will legally be allowed to emit an effective radiated power of up to 900,000 watts if they own that much spectrum.
The base stations emitting power like that will be located on the sidewalk. They will be small rectangular structures mounted on top of utility poles.
The reason the companies want so much power is because millimeter waves are easily blocked by objects and walls and require tremendous power to penetrate inside buildings and communicate with all the devices that we own that are going to part of the Internet of Things.
The reason such tiny wavelengths are required is because of the need for an enormous amount of bandwidth—a hundred times as much bandwidth as we formerly used—in order to have smart homes, smart businesses, smart cars, and smart cities, i.e. in order to connect so many of our possessions, big and small, to the internet, and make them do everything we want them to do as fast as we want them to do it.
The higher the frequency, the greater the bandwidth—but the smaller the waves.
Base stations have to be very close together—100 meters apart in cities—and they have to blast out their signals in order to get them inside homes and buildings.
And the only way to do this economically is with phased arrays and focused beams that are aimed directly at their targets.
What happens to birds that fly through the beams, the FCC does not say.
And what happens to utility workers who climb utility poles and work next to these structures everyday?
A 30,000-watt beam will cook an egg, or an eye, at a distance of a few feet.
The power from a base station will be distributed among as many devices as are connected at the same time. When a lot of people are using their phones simultaneously, everyone’s phone will slow down but the amount of radiation in each beam will be less.
When you are the only person using your phone—for example, late at night—your data speed will be blisteringly fast but most of the radiation from the cell tower will be aimed at you.
Deep penetration into the body
Another important fact about radiation from phased array antennas is this: it penetrates much deeper into the human body, and the assumptions that the FCC’s exposure limits are based on do not apply.
This was brought to everyone’s attention by Dr. Richard Albanese of Brooks Air Force Base in connection with PAVE PAWS and was reported on in Microwave News in 2002.
When an ordinary electromagnetic field enters the body, it causes charges to move and currents to flow.
But when extremely short electromagnetic pulses enter the body, something else happens: the moving charges themselves become little antennas that re-radiate the electromagnetic field and send it deeper into the body.
These re-radiated waves are called Brillouin precursors. They become significant when either the power or the phase of the waves changes rapidly enough.
5G will probably satisfy both requirements.
This means that the reassurance we are being given—that these millimeter waves are too short to penetrate far into the body—is not true.
In the United States, AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile are all competing to have 5G towers, phones, and other devices commercially available as early as the end of 2018.
AT&T already has experimental licenses and has been testing 5G-type base stations and user equipment at millimeter wave frequencies in Middletown, New Jersey; Waco, Austin, Dallas, Plano, and Grapevine, Texas; Kalamazoo, Michigan; and South Bend, Indiana.
Verizon has experimental licenses and has been conducting trials in Houston, Euless, and Cypress, Texas; South Plainfield and Bernardsville, New Jersey; Arlington, Chantilly, Falls Church, and Bailey’s Crossroads, Virginia; Washington, DC; Ann Arbor, Michigan; Brockton and Natick, Massachusetts; Atlanta; and Sacramento.
Sprint has experimental licenses in Bridgewater, New Brunswick, and South Plainfield, New Jersey; and San Diego. T-Mobile has experimental licenses in Bellevue and Bothell, Washington; and San Francisco.

Electromagnetic Sensitivity, also known as Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS) or electrosensitivity, is a condition in which an individual experiences symptoms like headaches, dizziness, unusual heart palpitations, or insomnia, around wireless technologies or electrical devices such as smart meters, cell towers, Wi-Fi, mobile phones, cordless phones, power line magnetic fields, intermediate frequencies, and electric fields from various electronics devices.
Symptoms
- Neurological: headaches, dizziness/nausea, memory and concentration difficulties, insomnia, depression/anxiety, fatigue/weakness, numbness/tingling, muscle and joint pains.
- Cardiac: heart palpitations, shortness of breath, heart arrhythmias, high blood pressure.
- Eyes: pain/discomfort, pressure in the eyes, deteriorating vision, cataracts.
- Ears: ringing in the ears, hearing loss.
- Other: skin problems, digestive problems, dehydration, nosebleeds, impaired sense of smell and light sensitivity.
According to Hecht and Balzer's analysis of 878 scientific works from Russian medical literature, the symptoms may take 3-5 years of exposure to emerge. Within the first 5 years, avoiding or reducing exposure may eliminate symptoms. However, after 10 years, severe symptoms and disease may become evident.
Possible Scientific Explanations for EHS Symptoms
| Symptom | Possibly Related Objective Effects/Animal Research |
|---|---|
| Headache | Opening of the Blood-brain barrier, effects on the dopamine-opiate systems of the brain, and blood cell clumping. See References |
| Cardiovascular problems | Calcium efflux in animals' hearts; Arrhythmia in animals; Tachycardia in double-blind study with DECT cordless phones (See Magda Havas's video and References.) High blood pressure found in double-blind studies (see Devra Davis' book Disconnect). |
| Tinnitus | A study at the University of Vienna (Hans-Peter Hutter et al, 2010) found that risk of tinnitus increased with years of cell phone use. |
| Immune Problems | The RNCNIRP 2011 mentioned that a number of papers published in 2010 showed immune response to RF EMF and that chronic RF EMF exposure may lead to "borderline psychosomatic disorders." See also the Bioinitiative Report section on immune system effects. |
| Memory loss | Reduced synaptic activity in hippocampus neurons; Memory loss and neuronal death observed in rats; See References. |
| Sleeping Disorders like Insomnia | EMF reduces levels of melatonin; 3 hours of exposure prolongs latency to reach first cycle of deep sleep, and decreases stage 4 sleep (see reference) |
| Depression | Affects blood levels of serotonin in participants within 300m of a cell site. See References |
| EHS symptoms | Certain types of EMF have been found to damage Myelin. Myelin provides electrical insulation for the nervous system. |

Hypoxemia
By Mayo Clinic Staff
Hypoxemia is a below-normal level of oxygen in your blood, specifically in the arteries. Hypoxemia is a sign of a problem related to breathing or circulation, and may result in various symptoms, such as shortness of breath.
Hypoxemia is determined by measuring the oxygen level in a blood sample taken from an artery (arterial blood gas). It can also be estimated by measuring the oxygen saturation of your blood using a pulse oximeter — a small device that clips to your finger.
Normal arterial oxygen is approximately 75 to 100 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). Values under 60 mm Hg usually indicate the need for supplemental oxygen. Normal pulse oximeter readings usually range from 95 to 100 percent. Values under 90 percent are considered low.

The 3 Strangest Covid-19 Symptoms Explained

Anosmia, ‘happy hypoxia,’ and blood clots: What scientists know and don’t know
The Covid-19 pandemic is an unprecedented event in modern medical practice, and health care providers are seeing extraordinary numbers of severely ill people.
Many providers think the novel coronavirus is causing the human body to behave in weird ways. In some cases, they may be right — but not in all of them.
Some of the side effects associated with Covid-19 are unusual symptoms for a respiratory infection while others are simply being observed by doctors more often because of the sheer number of people infected.
As the pandemic unfolds, both physicians and the public are struggling to differentiate between the two as a way to better understand the virus.
Below are three symptoms that have received recent attention.
Easily clotting blood
One symptom that has been described as a mysterious complication of Covid-19 infection is the presence of blood clots in people with more severe forms of the disease.
In a prepublication study recounting the autopsy findings of 20 people in Louisiana who died from Covid-19, the authors described clotting in the small blood vessels of many patients’ lungs. A group of Dutch scientists also described a series of hospitalized people who had clotting complications; most of those complications were in the veins of the lungs.
The process of clot formation in human blood involves hundreds, if not thousands, of proteins and cells. Doctors who specialize in blood diseases can usually identify the cause of a clotting disorder by looking for patterns in blood tests that measure those proteins and cells’ abundance.
But the clotting that accompanies many severe Covid-19 infections evades that effort.
Blood tests in people with these infections “don’t fit into the usual patterns,” says Adrienne Phillips, MD, a specialist in hematology and oncology at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City. This makes it hard to determine the root cause of clotting in these people, which in turn makes it difficult to make broad recommendations for preventing or treating those clots.
Another unusual feature of the clotting associated with Covid-19 is related to the size of the blood vessels where the clots are found.
Critically ill people who do not have Covid-19 often develop clots in large blood vessels as a side effect of not moving much and having disease-related inflammation in their bodies. These factors make clotting so likely that for years, most critically ill people have received clot-preventing medication as a matter of course while they’re in the hospital.
But many people with Covid-19 who are on clot-preventing medications are nevertheless developing clots in their lungs — and not just in the large blood vessels but in very small ones, too. “That’s what makes this clotting unique,” says Phillips. The unusual locations of these clots raise the concern that clotting is not just a side effect of a Covid-19 infection but is actually a feature of it.
Because these clots’ characteristics are so unusual, and because of the growing concern that clotting is responsible for much of the havoc the infection wreaks, several studies are underway to investigate whether drugs that prevent or bust clots can help people infected with the novel coronavirus.
While this set of symptoms might feel unusual, it’s really the number of people experiencing it that’s unusual rather than the symptom itself.
“Happy hypoxia”
The presence of “happy hypoxia,” a phenomenon in which people with low blood oxygen levels do not actually feel short of breath, has also been treated in news reports as a clinical conundrum.
Although the spectrum of lung disease that Covid-19 causes is still not completely understood, this particular symptom is nothing new, says Martin Tobin, a professor of pulmonary and critical care medicine at Loyola University.
When it comes to the ways lungs work in the setting of Covid-19 infection, “our understanding of how the body reacts to major challenges remains the same,” he says.
At baseline, human bodies need a steady supply of fresh oxygen to live, and so people constantly produce carbon dioxide waste as a side effect of normal metabolism. Healthy lungs exchange oxygen for carbon dioxide in the lungs’ many tiny air sacs.
When a portion of the lungs has a complete blockage of air or blood flow, that exchange doesn’t happen and oxygen levels drop. But carbon dioxide, which exchanges more readily than oxygen, can still escape the lungs as long as the rest of the lung tissue is relatively healthy and not stiffened by age or disease, like uncontrolled asthma or severe pneumonia.
That results in low oxygen levels and low carbon dioxide levels — and people can actually feel pretty comfortable with low oxygen levels if they are not exerting themselves, says Tobin. Before this pandemic, doctors occasionally saw this same pattern in people with healthy lungs who had developed a bacterial pneumonia called “lobar” pneumonia.
“This is an extraordinarily contagious virus that is affecting people in the thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands,” says Tobin. Doctors aren’t used to evaluating people with respiratory problems in these numbers nor “having to make decisions about large numbers in a very short period of time.” So while this set of symptoms might feel unusual, it’s really the number of people experiencing it that’s unusual rather than the symptom itself.
Covid-19-associated smell loss may be unusual in that it is reported by so many people relatively early in the course of their infection, often without nasal passage inflammation.
Loss of smell and taste
There are some relatively common Covid-19 complications that are less common in other infections. The loss of smell and taste are among them.
A prepublication study from a group of German authors compared smell in 45 people diagnosed with Covid-19 with 45 uninfected people and found that 40% of infected people and none of the uninfected people had lost their sense of smell.
Another peer-reviewed French study found a loss of smell lasting an average of nine days in nearly half of all people infected with Covid-19; 85% of those people who lost smell also lost their sense of taste. Although anecdotal reports often highlight the absence of other symptoms accompanying loss of smell, the French investigators noted 60% of people who lost their sense of smell had a runny nose.
Well before Covid-19 was on the scene, doctors understood smell could be impaired by a variety of conditions, infections among them. A Japanese study of people who reported problems smelling after head colds identified a virus in 15 of 24 participants’ nasal discharge: Most were rhinoviruses — among the most common causes of runny noses — and one was a coronavirus.
When head colds cause loss of smell, it is often thought to be a result of swelling and mucus in the nasal passages that block smell receptors. However, it is also thought that persistent swelling of these passages can kill the nerve cells that conduct smell sensation to the brain, resulting in the inability to smell even well after the swelling is gone (they usually grow back, though).
Covid-19-associated smell loss may be unusual in that it is reported by so many people relatively early in the course of their infection, often without nasal passage inflammation or discharge.
Those features make some scientists wonder if Covid-19 is directly affecting the nerves involved in sensing smell or other cells in the lining of the nasal passages.
But as with all weird symptoms associated with the infection, further research is needed before we really understand what’s going on.

Why don’t some coronavirus patients sense their alarmingly low oxygen levels?
By Jennifer Couzin-Frankel
April 28, 2020
Among the many surprises of the new coronavirus is one that seems to defy basic biology: infected patients with extraordinarily low blood-oxygen levels, or hypoxia, scrolling on their phones, chatting with doctors, and generally describing themselves as comfortable.
Clinicians call them happy hypoxics.
“There is a mismatch [between] what we see on the monitor and what the patient looks like in front of us,” says Reuben Strayer, an emergency physician at Maimonides Medical Center in New York City.
Speaking from home while recovering from COVID-19 himself, Strayer says he was first struck by the phenomenon in March as patients streamed into his emergency room. He and other doctors are keen to understand this hypoxia, and when and how to treat it.
A normal blood-oxygen saturation is at least 95%. In most lung diseases, such as pneumonia, falling saturations accompany other changes, including stiff or fluid-filled lungs, or rising levels of carbon dioxide because the lungs can’t expel it efficiently.
It’s these features that leave us feeling short of breath—not, counterintuitively, low oxygen saturation itself, says Paul Davenport, a respiratory physiologist at the University of Florida. “The brain is tuned to monitoring the carbon dioxide with various sensors,” Davenport explains. “We don’t sense our oxygen levels.”
In serious cases of COVID-19, patients struggle to breathe with damaged lungs, but early in the disease, low saturation isn’t always coupled with obvious respiratory difficulties. Carbon dioxide levels can be normal and breathing deeply is comfortable—“the lung is inflating so they feel OK,” says Elnara Marcia Negri, a pulmonologist at Hospital Sírio-Libanês in São Paulo.
But oxygen saturation, measured by a device clipped to a finger and in many cases confirmed with blood tests, can be in the 70s, 60s, or 50s. Or even lower. Although mountain climbers can have similar readings, here the slide downward, some doctors believe, is potentially “ominous,” says Nicholas Caputo, an emergency physician at New York City Health + Hospitals/Lincoln.
Hypotheses about what causes it are emerging.
