MICROWAVE BIOEFFECTS
The microwave frequency spectrum ranges from 300 MHz-300 GHz and RF Radiation from 0.5MHz - 300 MHz. The sources of microwave and RF radiation are Air Traffic Control Systems, Police and Military Radar, Earth to Satellite Television Broadcast Systems, Long Distance Telephone Equipment ,Medical Diathermy Devices, Cancer Diagnostic & Therapeutic (Hyperthermia) Equipment, Microwave Ovens, Industrial Applications and Microwave Generators. The standards that limit microwave exposure were set at 0.4 W/kg SAR for occupational and 0.08W/Kg for public exposure (ANSI 1992). The averaging time for determination of SAR was 6 minutes (NRPB 1993). The mechanisms of interaction have been described as thermal effects, with rise in body/tissue temperature of more than 1 oC, non thermal effects, with no obvious increase in body temperature and microthermal with thermoelastic expansion in the brain giving rise to microwave hearing effect. Microwaves produce thermal effects on biological systems at high power levels .The energy absorption at high power levels probably leads to nonspecific stimulation of hypothalamic-hypophysealadrenal axis with liberation of corticosterone that causes sequestration of cells, an effect induced by any known stressor. Some of the thermal effects reported include cataract formation, foetal abnormalities, decreased thyroid function (through hypothalamichypophyseal-thyroid axis inhibition), suppression of behavioural responses, gonadal function and natural killer cell activity, increase in the number of complement receptor positive cells and increased phagocytic activity of peritoneal macrophages. At non thermal levels (<0.5 oC rise in rectal temperature) stimulation of thyroid, increased susceptibility of the organism to bacterial infections, decline in neutrophil and complement activity, increased lymphoblastoid transformation of lymphocytes, abnormalities in the erythrocyte/lymphocyte precursors in bone marrow are some of the reported effects. The various review articles describe the microwave effects in detail[3,4,5,6]

I have to side with Xena here. I cant think of one drug out there that doesnt do more harm than good. Its all about the slow death of what you cant see in order to live for the moment.
