Researcher links diplomats‘ mystery illness to radiofrequency/microwave radiation
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA – SAN DIEGO
Writing in advance of the September 15 issue of Neural Computation, Beatrice Golomb, MD, PhD, professor of medicine at University of California San Diego School of Medicine, says publicly reported symptoms and experiences of a „mystery illness“ afflicting American and Canadian diplomats in Cuba and China strongly match known effects of pulsed radiofrequency/microwave electromagnetic (RF/MW) radiation.
Her conclusions, she said, may aid in the treatment of the diplomats (and affected family members) and assist U.S. government agencies seeking to determine the precise cause. More broadly, Golomb said her research draws attention to a larger population of people who are affected by similar health problems.
„I looked at what’s known about pulsed RF/MW in relation to diplomats‘ experiences,“ said Golomb. „Everything fits. The specifics of the varied sounds that the diplomats reported hearing during the apparent inciting episodes, such as chirping, ringing and buzzing, cohere in detail with known properties of so-called ‚microwave hearing,‘ also known as the Frey effect.
„And the symptoms that emerged fit, including the dominance of sleep problems, headaches and cognitive issues, as well as the distinctive prominence of auditory symptoms. Even objective findings reported on brain imaging fit with what has been reported for persons affected by RF/MW radiation.“
Beginning in 2016, personnel at the U.S. Embassy in Havana, Cuba (as well as Canadian diplomats and family members) described hearing strange sounds, followed by development of an array of symptoms. The source of the health problems has not been determined. Though some officials and media have described the events as „sonic attacks,“ some experts on sound have rejected this explanation. In May of this year, the State Department reported that U.S. government employees in Guangzhou, China had also experienced similar sounds and health problems.
Affected diplomats and family members from both locations were medically evacuated to the U.S. for treatment, but despite multiple government investigations, an official explanation of events and subsequent illnesses has not been announced. At least two early published studies examining available data were inconclusive.
In her paper, scheduled to be published September 15 in Neural Computation, Golomb compared rates of described symptoms among diplomats with a published 2012 study of symptoms reported by people affected by electromagnetic radiation in Japan. By and large, she said the cited symptoms — headache, cognitive problems, sleep issues, irritability, nervousness or anxiety, dizziness and tinnitus (ringing in the ears) — occurred at strikingly similar rates.
Some diplomats reported hearing loss. That symptom was not assessed in both studies so rates could not be compared, but Golomb said it is widely reported in both conditions. She also noted that previous brain imaging research in persons affected by RF/ EMR „showed evidence of traumatic brain injury, paralleling reports in diplomats.“
David O. Carpenter, MD, is director of the Institute for Health and the Environment at the University of Albany, part of the State University of New York. He was not involved in Golomb’s study. He said evidence cited by Golomb illustrates „microwave hearing,“ which results „from heating induced in tissue, which causes ‚waves‘ in the ear and results in clicks and other sounds.“ Reported symptoms, he said, characterize the syndrome of electrohypersensitivity (EHS), in which unusual exposure to radiofrequency radiation can trigger symptoms in vulnerable persons that may be permanent and disabling.
„We have seen this before when the Soviets irradiated the U.S. Embassy in Moscow in the days of the Cold War,“ he said.
Golomb, whose undergraduate degree was in physics, conducts research investigating the relationship of oxidative stress and mitochondrial function — mechanisms shown to be involved with RF/EMR injury — to health, aging, behavior and illness. Her work is wide-ranging, with published studies on Gulf War illness, statins, antibiotic toxicity, ALS, autism and the health effects of chocolate and trans fats, with a secondary interest in research methods, including placebos.
Golomb said an analysis of 100 studies examining whether low-level RF produced oxidative injury found that 93 studies concluded that it did. Oxidative injury or stress arises when there is an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (free radicals) and the body’s detoxifying antioxidant defenses. Oxidative stress has been linked to a range of diseases and conditions, from Alzheimer’s disease, autism and depression to cancer and chronic fatigue syndrome, as well as toxic effects linked to certain drugs and chemicals. More to the point, Golomb said, oxidative injury has been linked to the symptoms and conditions reported in diplomats.
The health consequences of RF/MW exposure is a matter of on-going debate. Some government agencies, such as the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and the National Cancer Institute, publicly assert that low- to mid-frequency, non-ionizing radiation like those from microwaves and RF is generally harmless. They cite studies that have found no conclusive link between exposure and harm.
But others, including researchers like Golomb, dispute that conclusion, noting that many of the no-harm studies were funded by vested industries or had other conflicts of interest. She said independent studies over decades have reported biological effects and harms to health from nonionizing radiation, specifically RF/MW radiation, including via oxidative stress and downstream mechanisms, such as inflammation, autoimmune activation and mitochondrial injury.
Golomb compared the situation to persons with peanut allergies: Most people do not experience any adverse effect from peanut exposure, but for a vulnerable subgroup, exposure produces negative, even life-threatening, consequences.
In her analysis, Golomb concludes that „of hypotheses tendered to date, (RF/MW exposure) alone fits the facts, including the peculiar ones“ regarding events in Cuba and China. She said her findings advocate for more robust attention to pulsed RF/MW and associated adverse health effects.
„The focus must be on research by parties free from ties to vested interests. Such research is needed not only to explain and address the symptoms in diplomats, but also for the benefit of the small fraction – but large number — of persons outside the diplomatic corps, who are beset by similar problems.“

Lyme Disease and the Many Symptoms It Can Present in Humans

Lyme Disease and the Many Symptoms It Can Present in Humans
When it comes to Lyme disease, there is a number of important factors that all must be addressed for proper diagnosis and treatment of the disease. The complications that arise from the many opportunistic co-infections that are traditionally present in Chronic Lyme disease sufferers makes diagnosis based on the most common laboratory findings very inaccurate. However, recognizing which symptoms an individual may be experiencing is the first step towards recognizing Lyme disease as a possible diagnosis and seeking effective treatment.

Chronic Lyme disease is one of the most difficult diseases to treat, partially due to the lack of effective diagnostic methods, and because of its ability to mimic other diseases. Lyme disease is known as the “great imitator” because its symptoms resemble over 300+ different and more well-known diseases. Some of these symptoms include fatigue, joint pain, poor sleep, muscle skeletal pain, muscle stiffness, mood problems, depression, anxiety, loss of concentration, short term memory loss, and many more. With such a large number of symptoms, it’s no wonder Chronic Lyme can often go undiagnosed, or even more commonly, misdiagnosed as other diseases. To help better understand the difficulty of differentiating Lyme disease from other diseases we have included a chart from a recent published study in the Medical Microbiology publication which shows the similarity of symptoms between Lyme disease and other commonly misdiagnosed diseases.
Lyme Disease similarities

The previous diagram is just a small sample of the many symptoms associated with Lyme disease, but the similarities between Lyme and other common diseases can be easily seen.
How Lyme Disease is Transmitted
Lyme disease is most commonly transmitted by the bite of a blacklegged tick. This type of tick is most common in the north-eastern areas of the United States, but it is important to know that Lyme disease has spread to 49 states (excluding Hawaii) and is becoming an international epidemic. Blacklegged ticks are the primary transmission method for Lyme disease but the ticks also carry other tick-borne infections. These infections decrease host immunity and allow secondary co-infections known as opportunistic infections to wreak havoc on the patient’s body when Lyme disease is present. These tick-borne and secondary co-infections can most commonly include Babesia, Ehrlichia, Cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr, Bartonella, and HHV-6 among others.

Lyme Disease Diagnosis Difficulties
Knee rash
When it comes to diagnosing Lyme there is only one truly accurate tell-tale sign and that is the appearance of a bullseye rash.
While this symptom is a dead-giveaway, not all Lyme disease patients develop the rash, in fact about 50% of Lyme disease sufferers never develop, nor have any recollection of a rash ever being present.
Lyme disease is caused by the bacteria Borrelia Burgdorferi. Borrelia is a spirochete, a cousin of the syphilis family of diseases. The bacteria’s unique corkscrew like shape gives it special properties which can help it evade the body’s immune system and often times antibiotic treatments.
Lyme Disease Treatment
For the treatment of Lyme disease, early detection is key. If the disease is detected early enough a course of antibiotics can usually take care of the disease. It is when the disease has gone undiagnosed or becomes multi-drug resistant that the symptoms of Lyme persist, become chronic and exacerbated and incredibly difficult to treat.
When Lyme disease has gone undiagnosed and/or is not properly treated early enough the condition becomes what is known clinically as Chronic Lyme Disease Complex to Lyme literate physicians. This complex of Lyme disease and its many co-infections can be very difficult to treat but it is important to seek out proper diagnosis before pursuing treatment.
Lyme Disease Testing
The most common Lyme disease tests are the Western Blot and Elisa test. While these standardized tests are considered the correct way to diagnose Lyme disease, they can often produce false-negative results. These tests rely on the body’s immune status and the production of antibodies to detect the disease. Because Lyme disease is so evasive often times the immune system isn’t producing these antibodies to allow for proper diagnosis.
This is why patients who suspect they may have Lyme disease need to seek out specialty labs for a more accurate diagnosis. One such specialty lab is IGeneX. IGeneX looks at samples of the patient’s blood under a microscope. This inspection allows them to visualize and identify “bands of” the spirochetes involved with Lyme disease. IGeneX also runs a separate co-infection panel to help diagnose the other infections that can be present with Lyme disease. It is important to mention that this test is only a starting point. There is a number of specialized tests and labs that must be ran to aid in proper and complete diagnosis to create a full medical blue print for Lyme disease and all the co-infections that can be present.

The multitude of symptoms associated with Lyme disease makes it hard to diagnose based on symptoms alone. But with proper diagnosis and treatments tailored to all the co-infections a Lyme disease patient is dealing with, patients can typically rid themselves of most of the symptoms that are associated with Lyme disease and receive more long-term benefits from treatment.“

Mit klassischer Musik gegen den Verfassungsschutz
„Mit klassischer Musik gegen den Verfassungsschutz
Von Dietmar Henning
21. August 2018
Gestern haben rund 70 Musikerinnen und Musiker, Sängerinnen und Sänger mit klassischer Musik vor der Zentrale des Bundesamts für Verfassungsschutz (BfV) in Köln protestiert.
Polizeikräfte leiten am Haupttor durch einen kleinen Korridor erste Mitarbeiterinnen des Geheimdienstes durch eine Fußgängerschleuse (Foto: Lebenslaute)
Der Konzertprotest der Gruppe „Lebenslaute“ stand unter dem Motto „Mit Suite und Kantate gegen den Staat im Staate – Geheimdienste abschalten!“. Sie blockierte den Haupteingang und die vier Nebeneingänge des Komplexes, in dem der Großteil der 3100 Geheimdienst-Beschäftigten arbeitet.
Bereits um 5:15 Uhr hatten die Musiker und Sänger alle Zufahrten und Zugänge blockiert und mit ihrer Konzertmusik begonnen. Verfassungsschutzmitarbeiter – und später auch Lieferanten – konnten nicht wie gewohnt auf das Gelände der Inland-Geheimdienst-Zentrale gelangen. Die vor den Toren wartenden Geheimdienstler wurden von den Lebenslaute-Mitgliedern angesprochen und bekamen speziell für sie erstellte Flyer.
Bereits eine Viertelstunde später erschienen die ersten Polizeifahrzeuge, um die Blockade zunächst zu beobachten.
Um halb sieben begann die Polizei mit der Räumung der ersten Blockade. Laut „Lebenslaute“ waren die Polizisten nicht zimperlich.
…
Die rund 20 Musizierenden vor dem Haupttor wurden von Polizisten eingekesselt. Als dann die anderen Musiker von den Nebeneingängen dort eintrafen, spielten sie zusammen ein kleines Abschlusskonzert – getrennt durch Polizeiketten.
Nach rund fünf Stunden, kurz vor 10 Uhr, waren alle Musiker und Musikerinnen von der Polizei weggetragen oder weggeführt worden. Sie erhielten einen Platzverweis, von allen wurden die Personalien festgestellt. …
…
„..viele Fragen der Opfer und ihrer Familien zur Rolle der Geheimdienste unbeantwortet blieben“, heißt es in einer ihrer Presseerklärungen. Die „bekannt gewordene selektive Aktenvernichtung, selektive Zurückhaltung von Beweismitteln und Aussageverweigerungen sind Mittel der politischen Einflussnahme und verhindern eine rechtsstaatliche Ahndung von schweren Verbrechen“. Täter und Mitwissende aus Politik wie Geheimdiensten müssten zur Verantwortung gezogen werden.
Doch auch die neuesten Absprachen zwischen Hans-Georg Maaßen, dem Präsidenten des BfV, und der AfD-Führung, werden genannt. Albert Müller, ein Sprecher der Gruppe, sagte der WSWS: „Unsere Einschätzung ist, dass dies zeigt, dass es Prozesse gibt, in denen der Verfassungsschutz seine Beobachtungstätigkeit überschreitet und aktiv und zugleich verdeckt politisch eingreift.“ Durch das Buch Inside AfD einer ehemaligen Mitarbeiterin Frauke Petrys stehe im Raum, „dass der Verfassungsschutz die AfD berät“.
Die Gruppe „Lebenslaute“ fordert daher neben der Abschaltung des Verfassungsschutzes und aller Geheimdienste auch den Schutz von Whistleblowern und die Verteidigung und den Ausbau demokratischer Rechte. „Schluss mit den Unterdrückungs- und Überwachungsstrukturen!“, heißt es in ihrem Statement.
Die Gruppe existiert inzwischen über 30 Jahre. Seit 1986 versammeln sich ihre insgesamt rund 300 Mitglieder regional und einmal im Jahr jeweils im Sommer bundesweit, um mit ihren Konzerten auf „Militärübungsplätzen und Abschiebeflughäfen, vor Atomfabriken und Raketendepots, in Ausländerbehörden und an anderen menschenbedrohenden Orten“ zu protestieren. 2014 hat „Lebenslaute“ gemeinsam mit der US-amerikanische feministischen Anti-Kriegs-Gruppe „Code Pink“ den Aachener Friedenspreis erhalten, der jährlich am 1. September, dem Antikriegstag, überreicht wird…
Die Konzert-Musik hatte ihre Uraufführung am Abend zuvor in der Alten Feuerwache in Köln. Vor rund 140 Menschen spielten Lebenslaute-Orchester und -Chor klassische Musik, die sie mit tagesaktuellen Entwicklungen rund um die Geheimdienste verbanden…
..
„Der ‚Verfassungsschutz‘ hat Neonazi-Szenen und -Parteien über seine bezahlten Spitzel letztlich mitfinanziert, rassistisch geprägt, gegen polizeiliche Ermittlungen geschützt und gestärkt.“
Die WSWS und die Sozialistische Gleichheitspartei (SGP) unterstützen Proteste, die die Auflösung der Verfassungsschutzämter und aller Geheimdienste fordern. In einer Erklärung der SGP, in der sie angesichts ihrer Nennung im aktuellen Verfassungsschutzbericht zu ihrer Verteidigung aufruft, weist die SGP darauf hin, dass der Verfassungsschutz eine Schlüsselrolle in der rechten Verschwörung der Berliner Parteien und des Staates einnimmt, die sich gegen die wachsende Opposition unter Jugendlichen und Arbeitern gegen Militarismus, Rassismus und soziale Ungleichheit richtet.
Während die AfD im Verfassungsschutzbericht in der Rubrik „Rechtsextremismus“ nicht genannt wird, kommt sie gleich mehrmals in der Rubrik „Linksextremismus“ vor – als Opfer angeblicher „Linksextremisten“. Als solche gelten aber alle, die gegen die AfD und gegen Rechtsextremismus protestieren.
„Die allgemeine Einleitung zum Kapitel ‚Linksextremismus‘ macht deutlich“ heißt es in der Erklärung, „dass es dem Verfassungsschutz darum geht, jede sozialistische Kritik am Kapitalismus und seinen gesellschaftlichen Folgen zu unterdrücken.“
Die „ideologische Grundlage“ von „Linksextremisten“, schreibt der Geheimdienst, „ist die Ablehnung des ‚kapitalistischen Systems als Ganzes‘, denn der ‚Kapitalismus‘ ist für Linksextremisten mehr als nur eine Wirtschaftsform: Er gilt sowohl als Basis als auch als Garant der ‚bürgerlichen Herrschaftsverhältnisse‘ durch ‚Repression‘ nach innen und ‚Aggression‘ nach außen. Der ‚Kapitalismus‘ ist demnach verantwortlich für alle gesellschaftlichen und politischen Missstände wie soziale Ungerechtigkeit, ‚Zerstörung‘ von Wohnraum, Kriege, Rechtsextremismus und Rassismus sowie für Umweltkatastrophen.“ Laut Verfassungsschutz ist eine solche Kritik am Kapitalismus, die Millionen Menschen teilen, ein Angriff auf „unsere Staats- und Gesellschaftsordnung und damit die freiheitliche Demokratie“.
Am heutigen Dienstagmorgen ab 10 Uhr spielen die Lebenslaut-Musiker und -Musikerinnen erneut vor den Toren des Bundesamtes in Köln. Die WSWS wird berichten.
