Dr. Beatrice Golomb, MD, PhD, Professor of Medicine at University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, researcher and author will be discussing her research on Havana Syndrome and pulsed radio-frequency microwave radiation, as well as the parallels to individuals affected by wireless radiation in everyday life.
Interview with Theodora Scarato, Environmental Health Trust Executive Director
Dr. Beatrice Golomb shared her published paper with the US State Department entitled “Diplomats’ Mystery Illness and Pulsed Radiofrequency/Microwave Radiation ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30183509

The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) Report “An Assessment of Illness in U.S. Government Employees and Their Families at Overseas Embassies” commissioned by the US State Department was released by a committee of 19 experts citing “directed, pulsed radiofrequency energy” as “the most plausible mechanism” to explain the mystery illness suffered by U.S. Embassy personnel. https://www.nap.edu/read/25889

In 2019, Penn Medicine researchers published new research with used advanced imaging techniques and analytics to construct statistical maps that compared the brains of healthy individuals against 40 government personnel who experienced neurological symptoms while serving in Havana, Cuba. They found key brain differences, particularly in the cerebellum, between impacted patients and healthy individuals, which may underlie clinical findings. They found statistically significant differences in brain volume, tissue properties, and connectivity between the patients and healthy control group. “There was reduced white matter volume in the affected patients, along with a pattern of differences in measures of water diffusion in the tissue. The imaging also revealed lower functional connectivity in the visuospatial and auditory subnetworks. Notably, differences in tissue volume, water diffusion, and connectivity were found in the cerebellum, the part of the brain responsible for performing voluntary tasks, such as walking and writing.”
The pattern of differences found in this study “do not resemble imaging-based investigations of any other pathology, like concussion and traumatic brain injury”
