Electronic Harassment is Not Science Fiction

One of the most telling tests was a simple one done at the Navy's Pensacola lab. R. S. Gibson and W. F. Moroney measured people's short-term memory and their ability to add sets of five 2-digit numbers in the presence of a 1-gauss magnetic field—-the strength found near some high-voltage power lines and many common high-current appliances, such as portable electric heaters. Test scores declined at both the 60-hertz power frequency and the 45-hertz frequency of the Sanguine- Seafarer antenna, but remained normal in control sessions.

Several studies on both sides of the Iron Curtain have found that rats are generally less active and less exploratory of their environment after being dosed with microwaves, although some frequencies induce restlessness. In contrast, ELF magnetic or electric fields almost always produce hyperactivity and disturbed sleep patterns in rats.

The sites of the greatest changes—the brain's hypothalamus and cortex— were cause for concern. The hypothalamus, a nexus of fibers linking the emotional centers, the pituitary gland, the pleasure center, and the autonomic nervous system, is the single most important part of the brain for homeostasis and is a crucial link in the stress response. Any interference with cortical activity, of course, would disrupt logical and associational thought.

In 1973 Zinaida V. Gordon, a pioneer in microwave research working with M. S. Tolgskaya at the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences Institute of Labor Hygiene and Occupational Diseases, reported a possible cellular feature of EMR stress. Low doses of microwaves, a mere 60 to 286 The Body Electric 320 microwatts for an hour a day, changed nerve cells in the hypothalami of rats. During the first month of exposure, the neurotransmitter- secreting portions of the cells connecting the brain to the pituitary gland were enlarged. After five months they'd begun to atrophy. When microwave dosage was stopped at that point, however, the cells recovered. J.J. Noval's finding that ELF electric fields changed brainstem acetylcholine levels has already been mentioned. In similar experiments, others have noted a rise followed by a drop to below normal in rat brain levels of norepinephrine, the main neurotransmitter of the hypothalamus and autonomic nervous system. In Soviet work, microwave densities of 500 microwatts or more, delivered in a work- exposure pattern of seven hours a day, gradually reduced norepinephrine and dopamine (another neurotransmitter) to brain levels that indicated exhaustion of the adrenal cortex and autonomic system.Two years after the Gordon-Tolgskaya report, Allen Frey, who has studied bioeffects of microwaves for over two decades at Randomline, Inc., a consulting firm in Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania, found an effect on the blood-brain barrier, the cellular gateway by which specialized capillaries strictly limit the molecules admitted to the delicate nerve cells' environment. Even at power densities as low as 30 microwatts, microwaves pulsed at extremely low frequencies loosen this control, in effect opening up leaks in the barrier. Since some barrier changes occur in response to stress and mood shifts, this could be either a cause or a result of the stress response, or an unrelated effect of pulsed microwaves. In any case, since the blood-brain barrier is the central nervous system's last and most crucial defense against toxins, we must consider this increased permeability a grave hazard until proven otherwise. One more link in the bioclock-interference-and-stress response has come from 1980 work at the Battelle Pacific Northwest Laboratory in Richland, Washington. Working with rats, researchers there found that a weak 60-hertz electric field (only 3-9 volts per centimeter) canceled the normal nightly rise in production of the pineal gland hormone melatonin, the main hormonal mediator of biocycles.

The cardiovascular system responds to electromagnetic energy in at least two ways. The composition of the blood reflects the stress response and concomitant activation of the immune system, while many frequencies exert a direct effect on the electrical system of the heart.

Soviet scientists have observed a variety of blood changes in animals exposed to microwaves, radio waves, and ELF fields. These include declines in red blood cell count and hemoglobin concentration—and hence oxygen capacity—as well as changes in the relative numbers of various types of white blood cells and the relative amounts of blood proteins, and a possible reduction in the blood's ability to clot.

American attitudes began to alter in 1978-79 when Richard Lovely of the University of Washington took advantage of a detente-inspired exchange of microwave results to visit the Soviet Union for a month and study Eastern methods closely. His research group then painstakingly recreated a major Soviet experiment in which rats had been irradiated seven hours a day for three months with 500 microwatts. The Russian work was confirmed in every detail, including disruption of the blood's sodium potassium balance, other pathological changes in blood chemistry, damage to the adrenal glands from stress-induced hormonal changes, diminished sense of touch, a decline in explorativeness, and slower learning of conditioned responses. Donald I. 

McRee, director of the EPA electromagnetic-radiation health research program, termed the results "very interesting" and called for an end to the American establishment's contempt for Soviet work. At some UHF power densities there's an insidious moth-to-the flame allurement, which would increase such a weapon's effectiveness. As discoverer Sol Michaelson described it in 1958, each of the dogs used in his experiments "began to struggle for release from the sling," showing "considerable agitation and muscular activity," yet "for some reason the animal continues to face the horn." Perhaps as part of the same effect, UHF beams can also induce muscular weakness and lethargy. In Soviet experiments with rats in 1960, five minutes of exposure to 100,000 microwatts reduced swimming time in an endurance test from sixty minutes to six.

In the early 1960s Frey found that when microwaves of 300 to 3,000 megahertz were pulsed at specific rates, humans (even deaf people) could "hear" them. The beam caused a booming, hissing, clicking, or buzzing, depending on the exact frequency and pulse rate, and the sound seemed to come from just behind the head.
