J. Ginsberg after reporting the previous week on parallel work by Dr. John Heller. The importance of this work may be judged by the large number of University research programmes that are being diverted in the United States to the effect of radio wave frequencies on health, although for years scientists have denied that such effects are possible. It is to be hoped that the work and research at the DelaWarr Laboratories will now receive more serious attention.....The Editor) Research into the harmful effects and the possibly beneficial uses of high-frequency radio waves on living things is reported to be expanding rapidly in laboratories in the United States and Canada. Investigations sponsored by the armed services are going on in at least ten American Universities and research institutes. The research is aimed at providing knowledge that will make it possible to live safely with the increasingly powerful radar and other micro- wave generators being developed. Although existing devices are said to be completely safe if properly handled the most powerful are believed to be potentially capable of causing SERIOUS DAMAGE AT A DISTANCE OF SEVERAL MILES. It is assumed, also, that the implications this has for weapons development are being investigated. Parallel studies into the possible beneficial effects of much lower- powered pulses radio waves have been begun or are expected to begin soon in fifteen or twenty other laboratories. This work has been instigated largely by Dr. A. J. Ginsber, a New York physician. He has reported the successful treatment of hundreds of cases of acute and chronic infections with these radio waves. Page 1 Dr. Ginsberg admits that he does not know how the apparent cures with his so-called DiaPulse machine were brought about. But he has a theory about the ways in which pulsed high-frequency radio waves interact with living tissues. This theory has interested several prominent investigators sufficiently to prompt them to begin research into the matter, many with their own funds. Dr. Herman P. Schwan, Director of the Electro-Medical Laboratory of the University of Pennsylvania - who consulted with Dr. Ginsberg on several research programmes - is cautious but not discouraging. In a recent interview Dr. Schwan remarked, "There is an interesting possibility that Dr. Ginsberg's machine may turn out to be a very important advancement in physical medicine." Ironically, the effect of high-frequency radio waves on biological systems that Dr. Ginsberg believes can help relieve infections is one of the effects being looked for by the armed services as a possible hazard of high-powered radio waves. What both groups are looking for are biological responses to radio waves that do not result from heating. Although these athermal effects have not been demonstrated conclusively many scientists engaged in this work agree that they exist. Heat Long in Use The fact that radio waves can cause heating in tissues has long been known and has been widely used to treat inflammations and injuries to joints and soft tissues. This treatment, called diathermy, uses short-wave radio frequencies. Much more powerful higher-frequency (shorter wave) radar used for this purpose would cook internal tissues. Dr. Ginsberg said that in 1943 he had investigated the idea that something other than heating might be going on in tissues treated with diathermy. In a paper published in THE MEDICAL RECORD for December 19 of that year he reported diathermy results that he felt could NOT BE ACCOUNTED for PURELY BY HEAT. This led him, he said, to try to eliminate the heating effect of the diathermy. He explained that the most logical means for doing this seemed to be to pulse the radio waves in such a way that any heat created would be dissipated between pulses. With the help of Arthur Milinowski, a physicist, Dr. Ginsberg built a machine for this purpose and soon, he claimed, supported his contention that there was a beneficial athermal effect of radio waves on tissues. According to Dr. Ginsberg's theory the athermal effect of pulsed radio waves STIMULATES THE BODY'S DEFENSE MECHANISM, marshalling the system that scavenges foreign materials and tissue debris. This system is believed to produce antibodies which act against infectious invaders. Two reports apparently substantiating claims for an athermal effect were made in the March 28 issue of NATURE, a British scientific publication, and in the RES BULLETIN, an American journal. Page 2 Those papers carried accounts of the bizarre behaviour of micro- organisms and the apparent interference with heredity-controlling material in certain plant cells CAUSED BY PULSED RADIO FREQUENCIES. The work, done by Dr. John H. Heller and his group at the New England Institute for Medical Research in Ridgefield, Conn., was instigated by Dr. Ginsberg's search for scientists to look for an athermal effect of pulsed radio frequencies. A modified version of Dr. Ginsberg's device was used in the group's early work but it has since built its own radio pulse generator. Dr. Heller reported that he was UNABLE TO DETECT ANY TEMPERATURE RISE in the cell containing tiny micro-organisms that swam either back and forth or up and down in response to different frequencies of the pulse radio waves. Dr. Schwan believes his group at the University of Pennsylvania has found still another way in which high-frequency radio waves might affect living tissues athermally. This is to CHANGE THE PERFORMANCE OF NERVE CELLS by acting on the cell membrane. How this would ultimately affect the organism, however, is not known, Dr. Schwan said. Dr. Schwan and several other scientists agree that a great deal must be learned at a very fundamental level to find out exactly what effects other than heat are created by high-frequency radio waves in living tissues and then whether those effects are good or not. This, he explained, is a job that will take many years. In the meantime the armed services are studying means for protecting persons who work around radar installations with radar-reflecting clothes and shielded buildings and passage-ways. Those steps would be taken largely to give protection against the heating effects of radar waves, which are known to be capable of causing cataracts, reproductive cell damage and other injuries. The Army, Navy and Air Force are also continuing their sponsorship of extensive research programmes on the biological effects of high- frequency radio wave energy. Progress in this work will be discussed at a tri-service meeting later this year. And extensive clinical studies are being made to see if Dr. Ginsberg's idea of treating illness with pulsed radio waves can be evaluated statistically with patients, even though the possible athermal effects are not yet understood biophysically and physiologically. -------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have comments or other information relating to such topics as this paper covers, please upload to KeelyNet or send to the Vangard Sciences address as listed on the first page.
