Navy exposes military volunteers to microwave radiation (1972).

Among Zory Glaser’s documents, I found a newspaper article entitled:  Navy Testing Microwave Risk http://www.magdahavas.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Navy-Microwave-Testing-1972.pdf (United Feature Syndicate, 1972).

The article starts:  “The Navy is exposing 50 volunteers to potentially harmful microwaves to find out what these mysterious rays do to the human body.”   It goes on to say that Americans and military specialists are exposed to increasingly high levels of microwave radiation. Medical reports link these rays to cataracts, damage to male reproductive organs, cardiovascular changes, and psychological problems.

Dr. Dietrich Beischer, a German scientist, who exposed his own body to frequency microwave doses along with military personnel, headed the “human guinea pig” study.  This was a long-term study since “microwave effects may show up years afterwards . . . Genetic damage might not show up until the second generation.”  Dr. Beischer said he would make his results public by mid-1973.
