It has been reported in an NYT article on www.todayonline.com titled "Microwave weapons are prime suspect in ills of US embassy workers" that microwaves can become weapons to affect our mental health severely. However, this effect is not new.
In a 2015/2016 research paper by Pall "Microwave frequency electromagnetic fields (EMFs) produce widespread neuropsychiatric effects including depression", it has already been reported that there have been many reports of such medical ailments throughout the years since the 1970s. The sources of these microwaves include: microwave EMFs from cell/mobile phone base stations, excessive cell/mobile phone usage, and wireless smart meters emissions. Other possible microwave sources include: short wave, radio station, and occupational and digital TV antenna exposures.
In fact, the WiFi frequency is 2.4 and 5 GHz. 3G frequencies range from 1.8 - 2.5 GHz, while 4G frequencies range from 2 - 8 GHz. As a comparison, microwave ovens have an operating frequency of 2.45 GHz. Usually, the thermal or heating effects of microwaves are not felt unless we are close to the WiFi router or 3G/4G base station.
However, the non-thermal effects of microwaves may be more insidious. Pall writes that the neuropsychiatric effects of microwaves include: "sleep disturbance/insomnia, headache, depression/depressive symptoms, fatigue/tiredness, dysesthesia, concentration/attention dysfunction, memory changes, dizziness, irritability, loss of appetite/body weight, restlessness/anxiety, nausea, skin burning/tingling/dermographism, and EEG changes."
Pall's investigative research paper includes a long list of references for us to review. We have been warned.
My own exposure to microwaves and low frequency waves might have led to the second relapse of my mental illness in 2013, which left me warded in IMH for about one month, and to taking medical leave from work on several occasions due to dizziness from 2015-2018 due to my sitting location that's less than 1m away from a Wi-Fi router. Dizziness or giddiness usually leads to nausea and vomiting, so a doctor at a polyclinic in Singapore will usually prescribe prochlorperazine 5mg tablets to control the effects of nausea and dizziness/vertigo. All of these are the problems I face because I'm likely to be electromagnetically hypersensitive (EHS).
As of 1st October 2018 however, there is good news for me because my boss decided to shift the Wi-Fi router located less than 1m from me to another location further from me upon my request. Since then, I've been free of dizziness at work.
As of end November and early December 2018, a blood test at a polyclinic in Singapore made me realise why I am likely to be electromagnetically hypersensitive (EHS). The blood test showed that I am slightly anemic, which means that my RBC (Red Blood Cells) are less than normal, which means I'm likely to have dizziness due to insufficient oxygen upon attacks from nearby microwave sources. A line open to research would be: how do microwaves trigger dizziness in susceptible people like me?
I can still remember the instance when I got dizzy on Friday 28 September 2018 at about 1pm. I was walking back to my seat after talking to my colleague some distance away. Upon getting close to the Wi-Fi router, I suddenly felt a slight wave of dizziness in my mind. While I was seated, in the initial stages, I could still suppressed the feelings of dizziness, but they persisted and grew over time, so much so that at about 2pm, I left my office near Marymount MRT to see a doctor at the polyclinic near my home in Pasir Ris. The one hour plus trip to see the doctor was bearable because I did not have significant feelings of nausea, but I was somewhat dazed. I usually keep a stock of medicine for contingencies, so I first made my way home to take a pill of prochlorperazine, before taking a bus to the polyclinic where I waited about an hour to see the doctor.
When I saw the doctor, I was the last patient at the polyclinic at about 5pm. I was less dazed as the prochlorperazine has taken effect, and the doctor prescribed me more prochlorperazine after doing some eye movement tests on me. Unfortunately, he did not explain the causes of the dizziness and precautions to me, so I had to go back to see a doctor on 1st October Monday to ask for a reason. Surprisingly, I got the same doctor, which is usually not the case for walk-in patients. The doctor read a little of the reference articles in this post which I had printed out and brought along, but shocked me when he claimed that Singapore was not doing any research into microwave effects on health. He also told me that microwaves are not the locally accepted reasons for having dizziness. He recommended that I see a vestibular specialist, but I rejected the notion because it might become too costly for me.
I do not have direct exposure to 4G microwaves because I do not use 4G phones. I stayed with 2G phones until it was phased out in Singapore in 2017, and then I switched to 3G keypad phones. For 2G phones, I started using them in 2000 and most of the time, they are kept in my pocket when I leave home. However, I have not had my testicles tested for mutated spermatozoa. Now, I usually keep my 3G phone in my bag when I leave home, so my testicles are now safer from microwave radiation. I am also single, so I could not have my babies checked for birth defects. Except for a period between 2001 and 2004 when I worked first as a sales engineer and subsequently as an account manager, I also seldom use my phones for calls. Hence, I have not acquired any dizziness from using the phone, although I remember my right ear becoming rather hot from using the phone when the calls take too long. In those years, I never expected that it could be the microwaves causing my ear problems.
