I know a woman who has had several strokes who is sensitive to radio transmissions down to -75 dbm.
On the other hand, I hold 5 watt (+35dbm) handheld radios up to my face all the time and nothing happens.
Good thing she's not married to a ham radio operator...

Thank you Fnord ... and i agree ......

just coincidentally Have you done any reading on Royal Raymond Rife ....... perhaps not directly related but almost sounded like a,symbiotic thing . Radio frequency thing sounded similiar .
btw have experienced The Rife machine and is effects . So this piqued my curiousity .

How does she sense these radio transmissions?

What is the sensation that she has?

The “Rife Machine” is quackery, and any effects you think you experienced were likely imagined. Devices that were professed to use Rife's processes were marketed, manufactured, and sold in several countries as a “cure” for cancer, AIDS, and other conditions. Many patients died after using these discredited devices, including persons that could have survived using conventional beneficial therapies, and multiple promoters were convicted of health fraud and sent to prison.

This type of quackery is under the category of “Radionics” — the false claim that cells emit and are affected by radio waves that the Radionics device detect/emit when the device itself has absolutely no radio-frequency components. A typical 'Rife device' consisted only of a nine-volt battery, some wiring, a switch, a timer, and two short lengths of copper tubing — no oscillators, no amplifiers, and no RF tuning whatsoever.

Risking a tongue lashing from Fnord .. Wish to offer practical thought on Radio waves, and various frequencies having magnetic properties , and can be varied , tuning coils , intensity , .
When tissues is observed on a celluar level , it has been show to behave in different ways.
Even cooking it .And burning it. All depending on frequency time and intensity .. 1500 watt microwave will cook something faster than a 1000 watt microwave. And Other frequencies can do other things . Thermography is on a different wavelength, Surgical implants to expidite healing .
Operate on yet a different wavelength . Different things may or will respond differently to different frequencies . Think Testla type ideas. Just offered as food for thought.

Evidence, please?

Diathermy machines, Infrared cameras, Microwave ovens, Radio/Radar, and Tesla coils all operate on legitimate physical principles that are well-established, defined mathematically, and that I spent years to understand.

"Radionics" devices, on the other hand, all allegedly operate from the same "secret" principles claimed by mediums, psychics, and other charlatans (i.e., auras, chi, orgone, et cetera), or from one or more of the 13 "Laws of Magick".

The mere fact that the word "Radionics" is a portmanteau of "Radio" and "Electronics" does not prove that it has anything to do with legitimate science, but only that someone was once clever enough to come up with a label that sounds good to ordinary people who lack any scientific background.

If you want to waste your time, money, and health on "quack" treatments like radionics, then that is your problem (not mine); just do not blame real science (or me) for your untreated illnesses and eventual death from your reliance on radionics devices.

well molecules in a high or intense radio wave , causes molecules in water to vibrate.
why then would other frequencies ' not ' cause effects at other atomic levels ? in other molecular mediums . Am limited on the examples , i can bring to this discussion, for am somewhat limited in my research here.. Am imagining that salt water in a microwave might boil more slowly than regular water. So perhaps if as in neon various gases illuminate to high voltages also . Am wondering if subtle voltages /magnetic feilds might affect other things .. As in CB radio some frequencies can affect the image on old style tv sets . But not all CB channels would do that. The image in your digital tv set ,how over the air a radiowave can be used to create all thise colourful images And the microcircuitry it has to effect to create those images . Next the weak radio signals /magnetic feilds in your cellphones ability to create tumours.
( and btw term Radionics was never a accurate term i feel but a version of hype to coin a new term.
From the 1930s approx , i think.) But i think there might have been something behind the science.
If thought about from the ideal of magnetic feilds .

It seems obvious that your education is not of the STEM variety.

All you have described does NOT relate to the alleged effects of Radionics.

if such,a thing as Radionics actually existed , i could easily say that your education is obviously based on STEM education type levels . ie. boxed type education .But it is not my position to try to describe radionics .

chances are weak magnetic fields do affect things weakly. But the likelihood of there being some coordinated effect that in turns has some cordinated biological effect are very small - more likely, there's a physical effect: things absorb the energy and get warm. like, you know, in a microwave.
the expected biological effect would be proteins breaking apart, and the tissue/organism will die. like a hamster in a microwave.

a complex signal lije a tv broadcast dpesn't improve through interfering radiation either, so there's no reason to assume anything complex like biological processes will improve from interference.

a hot water bottle also will warm you up - so far no one has claimed it'll cure viral infections.

She refers to it as a "pinging" sensation. Also a headache.

I've seen some serious quackery (translated: superstition) among supposedly technical types too. The body does not emit RF radiation, but I keep getting people telling me that the body does not conduct RF, especially as a counterpoise for a low frequency radio at, say, 3.5 MHz. I read and personally confirmed by testing that the capacitance of an average hand placed on a metal surface (radio housing) is 2200 picofarads, enough for coupling at lower frequencies. It may not be the best RF grounding for a handheld transceiver or shortwave receiver, but it does work.

According to Einstein, Imagination
Is A Greater Tool Than Knowledge
As Human Imagination Circles All Of Our Existence...

It's True, Greatest Scientists Leave No Possibilities Unconsidered...

In Other Words, There Are No Periods at the End of Sentences, only Ellipses...

It's True, Greatest Scientists Imagine Hypotheses, No One Else Touches...

Greatest Artists Exclude No Source of MUSE DarK Through LiGHT

As Free
Association

For All of
iMaGiNaTioN
Is A Never Ending
Palette of Colors

to Paint And
Write What

Has Never
Inhaled Peace
And Exhaled Love Before...

Including, All of Humanity to Date
And to Come As LonG As We BREaTHE OuR Species...

And More Specifically, A Greatest Martial Artist Never

Lifts A Fist to Strike Someone, And Never Strikes An Object

As That is Trauma to the Gift of their Existence; And in Doing

So, They Move in A Way of Loving Strength in Will Of Grace And Balance

Where Only A Greatest

Fool Would Not Perceive

They Are Fearless And

Impossible to Predict

What They Are

Capable

of Doing Next...

Which Means, They May
Live an Entire Life Without

Even Being Challenged This Way;

And While 'Our Resident Engineer'

Relates Processes Underlying

Healing Effects Of Tai Chi-Like
Related Contemplative Autotelic Moving Meditation in Flow
May Not Be Enhanced By Any Kind of 'DNA Radio Secret';

Never The Less, Science Shows That Meditation, in General,

Will Be 23 Percent More Effective than Opiates in Healing Pain;

And That Studies of Meditating Brains actually dissected relate

The Brain Health at 25, of that of a 50 Year-Old Human Being...

And Additionally, Generating Gray Matter in Our Brains; So

Basically, At Least in Part, Along with the Stress

Reducing Benefits, Enhancing Our Auto
Immune Systems too; Meditation is A

Fountain of Youth; And as

Discussed Earlier

if Scientist's Closed Down

Their Minds to the Potential of Magnetic

Healing Therapy, Lives Would Have Been Lost

To Severe Suicidal Depression, Where Tran-Cranial-Magnetic Stimulation,

Yes TMS, Is all that Works for Some Folks For Respite From Horrible Suicidal

Depression; And in Other Good News, 'Normally Illegal Hallucinogenic Drugs' Are Currently Being

Studied for The Same Kind of Life Saving Effects; As Both of these Therapies are a Hell of a Lot more

Humane

Than Jolting

Otherwise Hopeless

Cases of Suicidal Depression

With ECT, Electroshock Convulsive Therapy...

Material Reductionism And The Scientific

Method Is Useful; Yet Yes, Without Human

Imagination And Therapies That Come to Fruition

That Smaller Minded Folks Refuse to even entertain as Possible...

Humans Die...

Humans Die...

A Greatest Ignorance

Is Not Bringing the Once

Thought Impossible into Existence

And Actually USinG IT Effectively to Save Lives...

i LITERALLY Saved My Life of Pain And Numb With A
LIFE THREATENING SYNERGY OF 19 MEDICAL DISORDERS,
INCLUDING THE WORST PAIN KNOWN TO HUMANKIND, TYPE
TWO TRIGEMINAL NEURALIGA THAT NO MEDICAL DRUG WOULD
TOUCH THEN FROM WAKE TO SLEEP FOR 66 MONTHS That Doctor's

Offered No Prognosis for Recovery From
As A Shut-in in my Bedroom for 66 Months...

Yes, i Saved my Life With An Autotelic

Flow of Contemplative Writing

Meditative Free Verse Poetry; Yes,

A Writing Practice From Wake to Sleep
And An Additional Therapy of Moving
Meditation, Not Unlike Tai-Chi, Everywhere
i Go in Public Now For 15,488 Miles, Along
With 9.7 MiLLioN Words of that Free Verse Poetry For 97 Months...

NO DOCTOR OFFERED THAT AS A POTENTIAL SOLUTION

TO HeLL ON EaRTH; It Wasn't Until Years Later of Research,

Until i found Out The Therapies Had already been Researched to work...

All My Psychiatrist Could Offer is Drugs that Did Not Work...

All my Rheumatologist Could Offer is Pain Drugs That

Did Not Work; He Gave Up on me and Just said

Go Away; In Fact, Both of those Individuals

Reminded me Very Much of Our More

Closed Minded 'Resident

Engineer' Here;

And Of Course,

At First, i offered
myself no Chance for
Recovery Either, Listening

to the 'Advice' of my Attending

Closed Minded Physician too When
He Put Down in Writing i Had no Chance For Recovery...

True, i Used to be a Fool This Way too; That Psychiatrist,

When He Saw the Effects of How Moving Meditation Healed

me, Quit His Private Practice, INSPIRED BY HIS PATIENT, me;

AND MOVED TO SOUTH FLORIDA TO TEACH MOVEMENT

THERAPY IN A TEACHING HOSPITAL THERE...

So Not Only Did i Heal myself;

i Helped to Heal the

Attending

Psychiatrist's

Life too Through

What Worked for me...

Anyway, Fast Forward From age

53 to Age 61 Now; Empirically Measured

At 3 Times Stronger in Leg Strength From

500 Pounds at the Beginning, 8 Years Ago,

Through 1520 Pounds, Now at 61 Years of Age,

Still Adding Weight to What i What i Warm-up
With at 1380 Pounds, Anywhere From to 12 to 18
Reps For Over 100 Seconds of Extremely Slow Reps...

My Dancing Skills in Moving Meditation Are Still Improving

And my Free Verse Meditation of Writing Poetry is Lauded More

Than Ever of course off the 'Wrong Planet' as One Would Expect...

Yet That Doesn't Even Matter;

None of the Measurable Irrefutable

Empirical Effects of the Cure For my Illnesses;

All that Matters to me is i REALLY LiVE iN Heaven Now;

And i Lived in Hell Before; That's Worth More

Money; And More College Degrees; And

More i am Right And You Are

Wrong than

Anything

in my

Existence Now;

i have the ability

to Prove it works;

Most Folks Do Not;
YET, NEVER THE LESS i Do...

There IS NO WAY 'THE ENGINEER'
WILL PROVE ME WRONG; AND THERE
IS EVERY WAY still to come i Prove the Effects As Irrefutable...

i Don't Live Satisfied With Only Complete Sentences.

i Bring the Otherwise impossible to Fruition in
Ellipses With Even More Potential to come...

Who is the Victor; The One In The
Wheel Chair Who Believed the Doctor;

Or The One Who Still Walks at Age 123...

Hopefully, 'the Engineer; Will Be Around
to See More Results of my Human Experiment...

For You See
i Already

Have

Nothing to Lose
And Everything is Already Mine...
This Eternal Inhale of Peace And Exhale of Love Now...

Consider this Your SunDay School Lesson, 'Engineer', if 'You Wish'...

UPoN

A Star...

i Already See That

You Believe in 'REAL Magic'

As You've Expressed A Belief

in the Story Book Character of

Jesus As a Real Live Flesh And Blood

Human Being Who Spoke the Words

Attributed By Other Authors Including One

Dude Who Fell Down On His Head And Said He Saw Visions

to Relate the Story About A Little Brown Dude From Nazareth;

Yet You See i am a Scientist too;

The Placebo Effect Does

Work For those

With the

Power of Belief;

Yet it Does not Work

For those Who Do Not Have
That Power of Belief; Indeed,

Jesus is a Mighty Sugar Pill Who

Works in A Similar Way too; i Will NOT

Deny The Science of Trademark Jesus in this way...

Hope You Enjoyed the Second Part of
'Your' SunDay School Lesson Hehe..

Many HTs I have used seem designed to rely upon this counterpoise principle, so I modified a few to provide external access to their internal “ground” buses. Even when connected to “earth ground” through my workbench mains, reception was improved by as much as 6dB over being unconnected. Not on every frequency, though.

Incredibly insightful and well written concept , in the form of prose aghogday ..
Most impressive that you have come so far.!
