treatment. The symptoms and signs commonly described in the Soviet and other studies include headache, increased fatigability, increased irritability, dizziness, loss of appetite, sleepiness, sweating, difficulties in concentration or memory, depression, emotional instability, dermographism, thyroid gland enlargement and tremor of extended fingers. They are regarded as typical microwave-induced functional disturbances of the central nervous system and are called the neurasthenic or asthenic syndrome (the term "neurasthenia" originated in the USA a century ago but has been almost obsolete in this country for some decades (31)). Another frequently described manifestation of microwave irradiation is a set of labile functional cardiovascular changes including bradycardia (or occasional tachycardia), arterial hypotension (or hypertension) and changes in cardiac conduction. This form of neurocirculatory asthenia or vagotonic reaction, known as the vegetative dystonia or autonomic dystonia syndrome, is attributed to neural influence mainly from the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system. A third group of findings, more serious but less frequent than the others, includes hallucinations, insomnia, syncope and inhibition of visceral functions; it also is associated with microwave exposure and is called the diencephalic syndrome.
Yes, we know that beaming microwaves at people can have harmful effects.
However, it simply does not follow that we can assume microwaves can be used for “mind control”.
