Gerald Goldberg, MD	# Posted: 4 Jan 2006 15:32 Reply Would you put your head in a Microwave Oven A new book by Gerald Goldberg, MD About the Book Would you stick your head in a microwave oven? Well would you? Of course not. Technology has transformed this planet into an open microwave system with its satellite transmissions. This book examines what the health consequences are. This book simply points out that the gradual rise in illness across broad geographic areas are an early indicator of microwave illness, independently of what the experts lead you to believe. The handwriting is already on the wall and most of know that something is wrong. This book discusses in simple terms the effects of microwave radiation on the human body. I utilize dosimetry studies done by the US Air Force, which outline in clear terms what organs of the body are most vulnerable to cumulative microwave exposure. I outline the mechanisms by which slow exposure is masquerading as various illnesses across this country. We are on the verge of a health care crisis which threatens to bankrupt our society and health care system. Whether we like to consider it or not the planet that we are living on has been transformed into an open microwave system. In this book I examine the common link between microwave radiation and seemingly unrelated illnesses. The book demonstrates that the rising incidence of certain illnesses and cancers across broad geographic regions parallels the increasing rise in exposure and use of microwave radiation. This book is a common sense approach to the subject which is presented in a clear language that the laymen can understand. Also it is liberally referenced from the scientific literature. The book is designed to be generally informative as well as a reference source for the average reader. Additionally I have provided a wealth of resources that have been shown to be beneficial to offset the consequences of excess microwave exposure. About the Author I am a medical internist with over 30 years of clinical experience. Additionally I have been researching the biomedical literature from a traditional and holistic perspective for the last 15 years. I have training in herbology, Chinese medicine, nutritional approaches to health and other modalities. I have done extensive research on the causality of disease and its relationship to environmental factors as will as researching approaches to deal with these issues. I have been a radio show host involved in sharing information with the public on alternative health issues and perspectives in the NYC area for the past 5 years and have been actively involved with a nutritional pharmacy. Free Preview This manuscript was written to present the data to the average reader so that they could judge the issue for themselves. The health consequences from continuous low level exposure from microwave radiation can be catastrophic. The transmission of microwave transmission can be handled in a safe and effective manner to provide for global communication without affecting the overall health of our planet. The book starts by examining dosimetry which shows which parts of the body are most sensitive to microwave radiation based on studies done by our Armed Forces. Dosimetry is also predictive of the pattern of injury that one would expect to find. The second chapter explains how microwave radiation produces disease. It examines the mechanisms of disease production in living systems. It also explains how microwave injury manifests as specific organ system dysfunction, be it neurological, behavioral, immune, cancer etc. The third chapter links the rise of radiation against the simultaneous rise of certain illnesses in society. It demonstrates through the use of graphs that the parallel and symmetrical rise of certain illnesses across broad geographic areas reflects common force acting equally on all these regions. The graphs also demonstrate that it is the rate of increase not the absolute number of cases in a given region that is important. It is important to emphasize that microwave radiation is not the only cause of disease. It is potentially one of the few common links that unite large segments of our population to recreate and produce similar patterns of illness in widely separated geographic locations. Microwave injury can also contribute to other patterns of illness. In the fourth chapter, under medical equivalents, I have grouped the common names that are attributed to illnesses by organ systems. If common illnesses are examined from the perspective of simultaneous parallel geographic increase than the influence of microwave injury can be discerned.

The average consumer who has used a microwave oven understands it potential for causing harm and is grateful that it is packaged in a way to protect them. This book focuses on the health consequences that are arising from having created a planetary microwave environment. As an outgrowth of our current satellite communication technologies we have transformed our atmosphere into a sea of microwave radiation and are immersed in it. The health consequences of continuous microwave exposure are cumulative. This book explores the established patterns of illness that are known to be produced by microwave radiation and the signature of that pattern. The simultaneous rise of illness across broad geographic areas reflects this pattern of immersion. Ask yourself what is the common denominator. Wittingly or unwittingly we have: “Transformed the atmosphere Of this planet Into an Open microwave system” This manuscript was written to present the data to the average reader so that they could judge the issue for themselves.

If common illnesses are examined from the perspective of simultaneous parallel geographic increase than the influence of microwave injury can be discerned. The fifth chapter lists common available supplements that have been shown through medical research to be of value in offsetting microwave radiation injury or damage. Including in the listing are several references for each supplement listed. Most of the items are readily available. The use of microwave technologies increases daily. This should be obvious to anyone who is aware of the rise in global communication capabilities. The health risks and consequences are already well documented. Microwave radiation is present. It is well established in the medical and scientific literature that there is a lag period of approximately 5 to 7 years from the time of initial exposure to radiation to the development of full blown disease. Microwave radiation does not leave any tell tale residues to let you know that it has caused disease. What distinguishes microwave radiation is the pattern of injury that it produces, which is recognizable from the dosimetric and scientific studies, some of which are presented in this book. The point to appreciate in this analysis is not in recognizing whether or not there is a smoking gun, which is obvious, but that we are all being shot. Microwave radiation poses an extreme public health risk that may become fully realized in the next 5 to 7 years. At the point that the epidemic becomes fully realized up to 60 to 75% of the general population may become affected and incapacitated. We are potentially faced with a health crisis that will cripple most industrialized nations. If these estimates are correct than we are on the verge of a crisis that our current health infrastructure will be incapable of dealing with. The purpose of this book is to increase public awareness, facilitate corroborative interpretation of epidemiological data and to formulate preventive strategies before this epidemic comes to fruition.
Gerald Goldberg, MD	# Posted: 4 Jan 2006 15:41 Reply Sample extract from the text: 5. Behavioral and Cognitive Disturbances More insidious in nature and devastating to the individual and his family is the gradual or abrupt decline in cognitive functioning and impairment in social interaction which gets written off as a genetic illness or the normal consequences of aging. Medical science seems to be incapable of addressing what constitutes normal aging in a toxic environment. Many cognitive, behavioral or neurological disease fall under the rubric of psychiatric illness with no exploration of why the overall incidence of cognitive dysfunction is increasing in modern industrialized societies. Indeed cognitive dysfunction seems to be increasing exponentially instead of in a linear fashion which is what one would expect with purely genetic disease. What has been clearly documented in the scientific literature is that many diverse psychiatric and medical illnesses appear to share the same pattern of disrupted blood flow. The pattern is the blood flow to the left side of the brain is diminished or impaired. The left temporal-frontal region at the front of the brain seems to be most severely affected. What is critical about this region of the brain is that it is crucial in allowing the individual to acquire and develop insights, to process information, form judgments and react to the environment. The centers involved allow for the integration of emotional learning along with intellectual development. Studies looking at blood brain flow in individuals with ADD, autism, mania, depression, schizophrenia (both types), post traumatic stress syndrome, hyperirritability syndromes, pre-senile dementia, senile dementia, and Alzheimer’s demonstrate the same exact pattern of defects. These findings show the same pattern of decreased blood flow to the parts of the brain necessary for the acquisition of insight. These studies also imply that some of these disorders are reversible if the underlying lack of blood flow is dealt with. It has been amply documented that microwave radiation can cause spasm in exposed blood vessels. Given the abrupt rise in psychiatric, neurological and behavioral disturbances what one may be witnessing are the effects of a national microwave lobotomy. The left frontal region of the brain may be the most sensitive to stress from whatever the cause and has the greatest tendency to shut down. These findings reveal a common pathology which may be reversible if addressed. Many of the current therapeutic approaches utilize cognitive retraining with the use of medication. The intent of therapy is to help the individual to develop insight. The irony of the approach is that the very part of the brain that is necessary for developing insights and integrating information are shut off! Approaches using biofeedback to address brain wave function has been shown to be a practical alternative therapy. Instead of focusing on processing information the individual is taught to auto regulate their brain wave pattern which seems to improve the circulation problem. Improving blood flow correlates with improved information utilization. See the reference section at the end of this chapter. Judgmental impairment resulting from impaired blood flow can also be detected by abnormal patterns in the brain EEG. The EEG shows the electrical pattern of brain activity. In EEG studies of the brain exposed to microwave radiation a consistent finding is the loss of preparatory slow wave potential or psp waves. Psp waves are commonly absent in infants and old adults. Psp waves occur before initiating a response. The presence of psp waves seems to indicate that the person is recruiting, organizing and drawing on other areas of experience in their memory banks before initiating a response. This evidence of the absence of recruitment seems to be lost in judgmental impaired individuals. They have lost the ability to respond in a complex and meaningful way to any stimuli. It is if you took someone with a lifetime of experience and wiped their slate clean. Also microwave radiation diminishes the ability to lay down memory tracts and interferes with the metabolism of the brain. In spite of ones good intentions in trying to reach someone who is judgmentally impaired the difficulty for any family member is that they are dealing with an individual who lacks the ability to develop insight into their behavior. A similar loss of electrical activity has been noted in the retina of the eye and in the ear of animals that have been exposed to microwave radiation. This findings show how microwave radiation contributes to the diminished ability to organize and make sense out of incoming sensory information. The end result is that the information becomes distorted and the individual has a hard time processing the information if at all. Is it any wonder that someone so exposed would be learning disabled? There are concerned parents who are currently resisting the attempt to place microwave antennas in or around schools for these same reasons. This chapter attempts to show how microwave radiation can exacerbate and contribute to intellectual decline regardless of the age of the individual. The last chapter in this book deals with some preventative strategies that can be useful in offsetting some of these issues. Attempting to correct or ameliorate contributory influences producing a shut down of blood flow to the brain would go a long way in correcting this problem.
Gerald Goldberg, MD	# Posted: 4 Jan 2006 15:43 Reply 6. Neurotransmitter Dysfunction Microwave radiation can affect the chemistry of the brain directly. It acts through several different mechanisms. The first is direct DNA damage. The second is through direct disruption of metabolism and the shut down of the production of ATP and creatine phosphate. The third category is direct oxidative damage. The fourth is disruption of neurotransmitters in the cholinergic system of the brain, which includes GABA, acetylcholine, and diazepam like receptors which all tend to produce a calming effect. The fifth is a disruption of protein metabolism which is necessary to help lay down memory tracts. Thus the affected individual has a short circuited brain which is not working well and is judgmental impaired, incapable of insight and self repair and lacks the chemical ability and sensitivity to calm itself down. Sound familiar? Studies have repeatedly shown that the metabolism of the frontal lobes and the hippocampus are shut down. Their ability to use or produce calming neuro-transmitters are impaired. These areas of the brain are crucial in developing insight and evolving memories. Medications may ameliorate this condition but they may not be dealing with the underlying cause which is epidemic in proportion. . It has been shown that the most reliable markers of stress related injuries affecting the nervous system are lowered levels of anti-oxidants. These studies also suggest that replacement therapies are the most effective in addressing this metabolic imbalance, apart from removing any noxious influences. Behavioral and Cognitive Disturbances The following articles show the relationship between the type of brain wave activity which reflects regional blood flow, the attempts to control brain wave activity and its beneficial effect on syndromes associated with anxiety. Note I have included a study involving alcoholic withdrawal. In addition the last articles in the series document the repetitive nature of diminished blood flow in all of these different syndromes.

Egner T, Zech TF, Gruzelier JH.Division of Neuroscience and Psychological Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College London, UK. tegner@fmri.columbia.edu The association between alpha/theta training and replicable reductions in frontal beta activity constitutes novel empirical neurophysiologic evidence supporting inter alia the training's purported role in reducing agitation and anxiety Biofeedback training reduced the incidence of agitation and anxiety. . Alcohol Clin Exp Res. 1992 Jun;16(3):547-52 Alterations in EEG amplitude, personality factors, and brain electrical mapping after alpha-theta brainwave training: a controlled case study of an alcoholic in recovery. Fahrion SL, Walters ED, Coyne L, Allen T. Menninger Clinic, Topeka, KS 66601. Training consisted of six sessions of thermal biofeedback to increase central nervous system (CNS) relaxation. Effects were documented with pretreatment and post-treatment.post-test the brain map indicated pain-associated EEG activity in the contra lateral somatosensory area, but no apparent anxiety-associated EEG activity. At 4 months post-treatment the patient's wife and colleagues report the patient appears to function in a more relaxed way under the impact of stress, and he reports no longer experiencing craving for alcohol. Biofeedback training helped an alcoholic to stop drinking and decrease stress levels. J Clin Psychol. 1995 Sep;51(5):685-93 Alpha-theta brainwave neurofeedback training: an effective treatment for male and female alcoholics with depressive symptoms. Saxby E, Peniston EG. Biofeedback Center, Pacific Grove, CA 93950, USA On the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-I, the experimental subjects showed significant decreases on the BR scores: schizoid, avoidant, dependent, histrionic, passive-aggression, schizotypal, borderline, anxiety, somatoform, hypomanic, dysthmic, alcohol abuse, drug abuse, psychotic thinking, and psychotic depression. Twenty-one-month follow-up data indicated sustained prevention of relapse in alcoholics who completed BWNT. Biofeedback helped severe alcoholics who were depressed and exhibited severe personality disorders to stop drinking and helped to alleviate their depression. Biol Psychiatry. 1986 Aug;21(10):889-99 Pathological cerebral blood flow during motor function in schizophrenic and endogenous depressed patients. Guenther W, Moser E, Mueller-Spahn F, von Oefele K, Buell U, Hippius H.In Type II schizophrenics and severely endogenous depressed patients, however, we found a widespread nonreactivity of the regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) to motor activation, with no flow increase in the contralateral primary motor area. Severely depressed and schizophrenic patients where noted to have diminished blood flow to the left side of the brain. Psychiatry Res. 1996 Nov 25;68(1):1-10 Temporal lobe dysfunction and correlation of regional cerebral blood flow abnormalities with psychopathology in schizophrenia and major depression--a study with single photon emission computed tomography. Klemm E, Danos P, Grunwald F, Kasper S, Moller HJ, Biersack HJ. Department of Nuclear Medicine, University of Bonn, GermanyOur data suggest that left-sided temporal lobe dysfunction is related both to schizophrenia and major depression. The localization of hypo perfusion seems to be associated with the type of psychopathology (positive vs. negative symptoms in schizophrenia). Thus, the results support the model of Para limbic and prefrontal dysfunction in both diseases. The left temporal lobe appeared to have decreased blood flow in schizophrenic and depressed patients. This was a consistent finding. Schizophr Res. 1997 Oct 30;27(2-3):105-17 Regional cerebral blood flow in late-onset schizophrenia: a SPECT study using 99mTc-HMPAO. Sachdev P, Brodaty H, Rose N, Haindl W. School of Psychiatry, University of New South Wales, Little Bay, Australia. The LOS(late onset schizophrenic) subjects had a significantly lower cerebral hemispheric perfusion than controls, with a lower perfusion in the frontal and temporal lobes bilaterally. The LOS group also had significantly lower left-to-right hemisphere blood flow ratios. Older schizophrenic patients where noted to have decreased blood flow to the front of their brains more marked on the left. Arch Gen Psychiatry. 1999 Dec;56(12):1117-23 Functional imaging of memory retrieval in deficit vs. nondeficit schizophrenia. Heckers S, Goff D, Schacter DL, Savage CR, Fischman AJ, Alpert NM, Rauch SL.Psychotic Disorders Unit, Psychiatric Neuroimaging Research Group, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, USA. heckers@psych.mgh.harvard.edu During the attempt to retrieve poorly encoded words, patients without the deficit syndrome recruited the left frontal cortex to a significantly greater degree than did patients with the deficit syndrome. The 2 schizophrenia subtypes did not differ in the activity or recruitment of the hippocampus during memory retrieval. CONCLUSION: Frontal cortex function during memory retrieval is differentially impaired in deficit and nondeficit schizophrenia, whereas hippocampal recruitment deficits are not significantly different between the 2 schizophrenia groups. Schizophrenic patients of both types had decreased ability to use their left frontal lobes, they were impaired in memory tasks.

Ebmeier KP, Prentice N, Ryman A, Halloran E, Rimmington JE, Best JK, Goodwin GM. MRC Brain Metabolism Unit, Royal Edinburgh Hospital, Morningside Park, UK. Demented patients showed reduced perfusion, particularly in the left temporoparietal cortex. In these regions of interest, patients with late onset depression tended to have perfusion values intermediate between patients with early onset depression and demented patients. Patients with late onset dementia and patients with depression both showed patterns of decreased blood flow to the left frontal lobes. Arch Gen Psychiatry. 1994 Sep;51(9):677-86 Reduction of cerebral blood flow in older depressed patients. Lesser IM, Mena I, Boone KB, Miller BL, Mehringer CM, Wohl M. Department of Psychiatry, Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, Torrance. Patients exhibited a global reduction in regional cerebral blood flow compared with controls, with the orbital frontal and inferior temporal areas affected bilaterally. Older depressed patients had a significant decrease in the blood flow to their frontal lobes. Nucl Med Commun. 2005 Sep;26(9):757-63 Voxel-based assessment of spinal tap test-induced regional cerebral blood flow changes in normal pressure hydrocephalus. Dumarey NE, Massager N, Laureys S, Goldman S. aDepartment of Nuclear Medicine and PET/Biomedical Cyclotron Unit bDepartment of Neurosurgery, Hopital Erasme, Universite Libre de Bruxelles, Brussels, Belgium cCyclotron Research Centre, Universite de Liege, Liege, Belgium. According to SPM analysis, gait improvement at the spinal tap test in patients with NPH syndrome is associated with an rCBF increase localized in the bilateral dorsolateral frontal and left mesiotemporal cortex Older patients with NPH ( which is a swollen brain) and presented with impaired ability to walk, improved after decompression of the brain. There was noted to be an improvement which paralleled a return to normal pattern of blood flow in the brain. This showed that the nervous system was intact, it was just suffering from decreased blo
