The story of an affected family
In a quiet neighbourhood in Massachusetts, the Gilardi family’s life changed abruptly. Just one day after a 5G mobile phone tower was installed less than 140 metres from their home, the health problems began. Their ten-year-old daughter, who had never had trouble sleeping before, suddenly complained of headaches, dizziness and a mysterious buzzing in her head.
What is the microwave syndrome?
Microwave syndrome describes a range of symptoms that can occur in people when they are exposed to electromagnetic fields (EMFs). This radiation is emitted by various wireless technologies, from mobile phone masts to Wi-Fi routers and smart home devices.
Distribution and risk groups
Current research shows that sensitivity to EMF is widespread:
- 5 to 30 per cent of the population are slightly sensitive
- 1.5 to 3 per cent show moderate sensitivity
- Less than 1.5 per cent suffer from severe reactions
Particularly at risk:
- Children
- Women
- People with chronic illnesses
- People with pre-existing diseases of the nervous system
But animals are also affected, in October 2023 a newspaper article appeared in Switzerland reporting that a farmer’s calves went blind after the construction of a mobile phone antenna, read it here!
Unfortunately, it has been removed from the magazine’s online database, but this article from 2014 was probably overlooked!
Scientific findings
Research has identified various biological effects of microwave radiation:
- Changes in brain structure and function
- Hormonal disorders
- Cardiovascular problems
- Chromosomal changes
- Tissue damage
The Bioinitiative report, an important document in EMF research, points out that even radiation levels below the official limits can trigger biological reactions.
Historical perspective
A significant historical case is the “Moscow Signal” (1953-1976), in which US embassy personnel in Moscow were exposed to microwave radiation. Although the official reports found no significant health effects, recent reviews suggest possible links between radiation exposure and health problems.
The Massachusetts case: a turning point
The story of the Gilardi family ended with a drastic step: after nine months of persistent health problems, the family moved into an old country house. Despite the simple living conditions, the children’s symptoms disappeared almost immediately – a fact that emphasises the possible links between 5G radiation and health problems.
Conclusion
The increasing spread of 5G technology raises important questions about health compatibility. While the industry categorises the technology as safe, scientific studies point to potential health risks. A balanced discussion and further independent research appear to be urgently needed.
