The first reported injury of 5G in a news report comes from Switzerland, where 5G has been launched in 102 locations. The weekly French-language Swiss magazine L’Illustré interviewed people living in Geneva after the 5G rollout with alarming details of illness. In their article, With 5G, We Feel Like Guinea Pigs, posted July 18, 2019, they report neighbors met to discuss their many common symptoms and many unanswered questions.

Update 2/29/20

5G: It’s Legal but Not Safe

As soon as the antennas were installed, several residents and entire families in the heart of Geneva reported similar unusual symptoms of loud ringing in the ear, intense headaches, unbearable earaches, insomnia, chest pain, fatigue and not feeling well in the house. 29-year-old Geneva resident, Johan Perruchoud, called up Swisscom and was told that indeed the 5G cell towers were activated on the same day he began to feel the symptoms. When others called Swisscom they were told everything is legal and within guidelines.

Swiss Physician Denounces 5G and Calls for a 5G Moratorium

Dr. Bertrand Buchs, who has also called for a 5G moratorium, states he has seen more and more patients with similar symptoms. He notes, “In this case, our authorities are going against common sense … we risk experiencing a catastrophe in a few years… no serious study exists yet, which is not surprising when we know that this technology was developed in China, then to the United States. In Switzerland, we could open a line for people who feel bad, listen to these complaints and examine them. Our country has the means and the skills. The debate must be launched because the story is not about to end.”

Swisscom: Millions of Fast Connections

Swisscom states, “5G will create new opportunities for residential customers and businesses across Switzerland. 5G is the new mobile communication standard for digitisation, enabling the extremely fast connection of millions of devices, things and people.” Will those millions of fast connection enable communication, or instead disable people from communicating due to illness?

Dear Diary: Loud Humming, Lots of Pain, Nausea, No Sleep

These stories parallel that of Anne Mills, author of “All EMF’d Up”, who suffered wireless radiation poisoning in Germany when her husband was stationed there for work. She wrote a diary with identical symptoms of those in Geneva. As noted in the Swiss magazine L’Illustré article, her concerns, like those in Geneva, were dismissed. She consulted with German physician, Dr. Horst Eger, to confirm her symptoms were that of microwave illness seen in military radar personnel and those working on microwave towers.

“Mystery Illness” In Cuban and Chinese Diplomats is Microwave Poisoning

The New York Times and CBS reported unexplained symptoms in diplomats living in China and Cuba in 2017 and 2018. The source was found to be microwave radiation. UC San Diego Professor of Medicine, Dr. Beatrice Golomb, published an article in Neural Computation in September 2018, discussing the symptoms of the diplomats living abroad. The symptoms that diplomats and their families experienced, i.e. sleep problems, headaches, strange auditory sounds, anxiety and dizziness were similar to those with microwave illness reported in military studies from pulsed microwave radiation.

Residents in Sacramento, California Experiencing Symptoms

After 5G towers were installed in a Sacramento neighborhood, a family began to experience generalized health issues, including headaches. This was such a concern that the father set up a website and petition to gain support for halting 5G expansion. Sacramento was one of the first in the U.S. to permit 5G cell towers, with health concerns being raised well before the towers were in place. The question remains about exactly what frequencies of radiation and what levels of radiation are emitted by these neighborhood 5G cell towers which reportedly will use 4G frequencies as well. Should there be independent testing? The Sacramento city manager is apparently doing a review of 5G towers according to a September 12, 2019 news report .

Here is a video of testimony of a mother whose children fell ill after a cell antenna was placed outside their house in June 2019.

Doctors Protesting 5G Communications and Calling for 5G Moratorium

In October 2019 about 3 dozen physicians in white coats protested at the State Ministry in Stuttgart, Germany, calling for a moratorium on 5G until safety of the new technology has been proven. The protest was covered in the German publication Stuttgarter News. Mental heath professional Jörg Schmid stated in the article, “We have more and more patients in our practices who are hypersensitive to electrosmog.” Symptoms they reported included headaches, tinnitus, difficulty concentrating and cardiac arrhythmias.

Dr. Cornelia Mästle, an internal medicine physician and cardiologist from Winterbach was to the point at the protest announcing, “We are calling for prevention strategies to protect the population, further research needs and a moratorium on the expansion of 5G mobile radio.”A letter was also sent to the State Ministry and a formal appointment was made with the physicians to discuss this issue.

STOP 5G International Protests

Around the world citizens in every profession are protesting the 5G rollout as well. A volunteer group called Stop 5G International has organized this effort. The first global protest was January 25, 2020. The next worldwide protest is scheduled for Saturday, April 25, 2020.

Palestinians in Prison Hunger Strike to Stop Headaches from Phone Jammers

An article from the Palestinian News Network reported on headaches in prisoners in Israeli Jails when radiofrequency phone jammers were turned on and boosted the levels. There have been many recent reports of severe headaches in prisoners in a variety of jails associated with phone jammer operations. Dozens of prisoners have been on a hunger strike for 14 days now. These symptoms are backed up by research by many, including J Wang et al (2017) who published their article, Mobile Phone Use and The Risk of Headache: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Cross-sectional Studies, in Nature magazine. The comprehensive meta-analysis of studies linking cell phone radiation to headaches showed positive findings in the robust studies. He concluded that mobile phone use may increase the risk for headache . He notes, “In Stalin’s study and Chiu’s study the prevalence of MP[mobile phone] usage among adult and children was 69.8% and 63.2% respectively in their study population, ” He warns that, “It is imperative that health care professionals, clinicians and common people are educated about the deleterious influence of MP [mobile phone]on headach. And it is reasonable to instruct children and adolescent about a prudent use of MPs.” A new study by (Movahedi (2018)- Short-term exposure to mobile jammer radiofrequency radiation adversely affects the human hearing reveals hearing loss in a significant number of medical students tested after only one hour of exposure.

Many Others Suffer Microwave Illness/Electrosensitivity

It is reported that 3% to 30% of the population have symptoms similar to Microwave illness or electrosensitivity, depending on the reporting country and if mild to severe symptoms are reported.

Dr. Scott Eberle describes how a physician learned about his own electrosensitivity published originally in 2014 in the Sonoma Medicine and later reprinted in the Santa Clara County/Monterey County Medical Association Bulletin. You can read Dr. Scott Eberle’s What’s the Diagnosis Doctor? He has also written “An Underworld Journey: Learning to Cope with Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity.” Dr. Scott Eberle. Ecopyschology.9(2):106-111, June 2017. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/317923126_An_Underworld_Journey_Learning_to_Cope_with_Electromagnetic_Hypersensitivity

Writer Alison Main has documented her experience in developing electrosensitivity and her frustration at being more isolated from other people and wireless technology she would like to use. Electro-Sensitivity: When the Modern World Hurts

Safer Alternatives to Wireless Networks: SAFE G

Fiberoptic to premises and cabled networks are safe and just as fast as 5g. Considering that the 5G networks will depend on a backbone of fiberoptic cables it makes sense to bypass the 5G wireless towers for these cabled alternatives. See
