    Whoopsie doodle! Need coffees.

    I meant to say "creationists" at the end there, not "evolutionists".

    Obviously.

    Well, then my logic that the axiom, often used, should be modified to "Correlation isn't causation, necessarily, but is a good place to start looking for the culprit"

    That is the case I'm making, yes.

    That is true. However, it also marked the birth of radio frequency transmissions. Here's an excerpt from Chapter 8 of Arthur Firstenberg's book, "The Invisible Rainbow", titled "The Mystery on the Isle of Wight":

    **

    Then, in 1917, just as the bees on the Isle of Wight itself appeared to be regaining their former vitality, an event occurred that changed the electrical environment of the rest of the world. Millions of dollars of United States government money were suddenly mobilized in a crash program to equip the Army, Navy, and Air Force with the most modern communication capability possible. The entry of the United States into the Great War on April 6, 1917, stimulated an expansion of radio broadcasting that was as sudden and rapid as the 1889 expansion of electricity.

    Again it was the bees that gave the first warning. "Mr. Charles Schilke of Morganville, Monmouth County, a beekeper with considerable experience operating about 300 colonies reported a great loss of bees from the hives in one of his yards located near Bradevelt", read one report, published in August 1918. "Thousands of dead were lying and thousands of dying bees were crawling about in the vicinity of the hive, collecting in groups on bits of wood, on stones and in depressions in the earth. The affected bees appeared to be practically all young adult workers about the age when they would normally do the first field work, but all ages of older bees were found. No abnormal condition within the hive was noticed at this time."

    This outbreak was confined to Morganville, Freehold, Milhurt, and nearby areas of New Jersey, just a few miles seaward from one of the most powerful radio stations on the planet, the one in New Brunswick that had just been taken over by the government for service in the war. A 50,000-watt Alexanderson alternator had been installed in February of that year to supplement a less efficient 350,000-watt spark apparatus. Both provided power to a mile-long aerial consisting of 32 parallel wires supported by 12 steel towers 400 feet tall, broadcasting military communications across the ocean to the command in Europe.

    Radio came of age during the First World War. For long distance communications there were no satellites, and no shortwave equipment. Vacuum tubes had not yet been perfected. Transistors were decades into the future. It was the era of immense radio waves, inefficient aerials the size of small mountains, and spark gap transmitters that scattered radiation to interfere with everyone else's signals. Oceans were crossed by brute force, three hundred thousand watts of electricity being supplied to those mountains to achieve a radiated power of perhaps thirty thousand. The rest was wasted as heat. Morse code could be sent but not voice. Reception was sporadic, unreliable.

    Few of the great powers had had a chance to establish overseas communication with their colonies before war intervened in 1914. The United Kingdom had two ultra-powerful stations at home, but no radio links with a colony. The first such link was still under construction near Cairo. France had one powerful station at the Eiffel Tower, and another at Lyon, but no links with any of its overseas colonies. Belgium had a powerful station in the Congo State, but blew up its home station at Brussels after war broke out. Italy had one powerful station in Eritrea, and Portugal had one in Mozambique and one in Angola. Norway had one ultrapotent transmitter, Japan one, and Russia one. Only Germany had made much progress in building an Imperial Chain, but within months after the declaration of war, all its overseas stations- at Togo, Dar-es-Salaam, Yap, Samoa, Nauru, New Pomerania, Cameroon, Kiautschou, and German East Africa- were destroyed.

    Radio, in short, was in its faltering infancy, still crawling, its attempts to walk hindered by the onset of the European War. During 1915 and 1916, the United Kingdom made progress in installing thirteen long-range- stations in various parts of the world in order to keep in contact with its navy.

    When the United States entered the war in 1917, it changed the terrain in a hurry. The United States Navy already had one giant transmitter in Arlington, Virginia and a second one at Darien, in the Canadal Zone. A third, in San Diego, began broadcasting in May 1917, a fourth, at Pearl Harbor, on October 1 of that year and a fifth, at Cavite, the Philippines, on December 19. The Havy also took over and upgraded private and foreign-owned stations at Lents, Oregon; South San Francisco, California; Bolinas, California; Kahuku, Hawaii; Heeia Point, Hawaii; Sayville, Long Island; Tuckerton, New Jersey; and New Brunswick, New Jersey. By late 1917, thirteen American stations were sending messages across two oceans.

    Fifty more medium and high powered radio stations ringed the United States and its possessions for communication with ships. To equip its ships, the Navy manufactured and deployed over ten thousand low, medium and high powered transmitters. By early 1918, the Navy was graduating over four hundred students per week from its radio operating courses. In the short course of a year, between April 6, 1917 and early 1918, the Navy built and was operating the world's largest radio network.

    America's transmitters were far more efficient than most of those built previously. When a 30-kilowatt Poulson Arc was installed at Arlington in 1913, it was found to be so much superior to the 100-kilowatt spark apparatus there that the Navy adopted the arc as its preferred equipment and ordered sets with higher and higher ratings. A 100-kilowatt arc was installed at Darien, a 200-kilowatt arc in San Diego, 350-kilowatt arcs at Pearl Harbor and Cavite. In 1917, 30-kilowatt arcs were being installed on Navy ships, outcalssing the transmitters on most ships of other nations.

    Still, the arc was basically only a spark gap with electricity flowing across it continuously instead of in bursts. It still sprayed the airway with unwanted harmonics, transmitted voices poorly, and was not reliable enough for continuous day and night communication. So the Navy tried out its first high-speed alternator, the one it inherited at New Brunswick. Alternators did not have spark gaps at all. Like fine musical instruments, they produced pure continuous waves that could be sharply tuned, and modulated for crystal clear voice or telegraphic communication. Ernst Alexanderson, who designed them, also designed an antenna to go with them that increased radiation efficiency sevenfold. When tested against the 350-kilowatt timed spark at the same station, the 50-kilowatt alternator proved to have a bigger range. So in February 1918, the Navy began to rely on the alternator to handle continuous communications with Italy and France.

    In July 1918, another 200-kilowatt arc was added to the system the Navy had taken over at Sayville. In September 1918, a 500-kilowatt arc went on the air at a new naval station at Annapolis, Maryland. Meanwhile the Navy had ordered a second, more powerful alternator for new Brunswick, of 200-kilowatt capacity. Installed in June, it too went on the air full time in September. New Brunswick immediately became the most powerful station in the world, outclassing Germany's flagship station at Nauen, and was the first that transmitted both voice and telegraphic messages across the Atlantic Ocean clearly, continuously, and reliably.

    The disease that was called Spanish influenza was born during these months. It did not originate in Spain. It did, however, kill tens of millions all over the world, and it became suddenly more fatal in September of 1918. By some estimates, the pandemic struck more than half a billion people, or a third of the world's popualtion. Even the Black Death of the fourteenth century did not kill so many in so short a period of time. No wonder everyone is terrified of its return.

    A few years ago researchers dug up four bodies in Alaska that had lain frozen in the permafrost since 1918 and were able to identify RNA from an influenza virus in the lung tissue of one of them. This was the monster germ that was supposed to have felled so many in the prime of their lives, the microbe that so resembles a virus of pigs, against whose return we are to exercise eternal vigilance, lest it decimate the world again.

    But there is no evidence that the disease of 1918 was contagious.

    The Spanish influenza apparently originated in the United States in early 1918, seemed to spread around the world on Navy ships, and first appeared on board those those ships and in seaports and Naval stations. The largest early outberak, laying low about 400 people, occurred in February in the Naval Radio School at Cambridge, Massachusetts. In March, influenza spread to Army camps where the Signal Corps was being trained in the use of the wireless: 1,127 men contracted influenza in Camp Funston, in Kansas, and 2,900 men in the Oglethorpe camps in Georgia. In late March and April, the disease spread to the civilian population, and around the world.

    Mild at first, the epidemic exploded with death in September, everywhere in the world at once. Waves of mortality travelled with astonishing speed over the global ocean of humanity, again and again until their force was finally spent three years later.

    Its victims were often sick repeatedly for months at a time. One of the things that puzzled doctors the most was all of the bleeding. Ten to fifteen percent of flu patients seen in private practice, and up to forty percent of flu patients in the Navy suffered from nosebleeds, doctors sometimes describing the blod as "gushing" from the nostrils. Others bled from their gums, ears, skin, stomach, intestines, uterus, or kidneys, the most common and rapid route to death being hemorrhage in the lungs: flu victims drowned in their own blood. Autopsies revealed that as many as one-third of fatal cases had also hemorrhaged into their brain, and occasionally a patient appeared to be recovering from respiratory symptoms only to die of a brain hemorrhage.

    "The regularity with which these various hemorrhages appeared suggested the possibility of there being a change in the blood itself", wrote Drs. Arthur Erskine and B.L. Knight of Cedar Rapids, Iowa in late 1918. So they tested the blood from a large number of patients with influenza and pneumonia. "In every case tested without a single exception", they wrote, "the coagulability of the blood was lessened, the incerase in time required for coagulation varying from two and one-half to eight minutes more than normal. Blood was tested as early as the second day of infection, and as late as the twentieth day of convalescence from pneumonia, with the same results... Several local physiciains also tested blood from their patients, and, while our records are at this time necessarily incomplete, we have yet to receive a report of a case in which the time of coagulation was not prolonged."

    This is consistent not with any respiratory virus, but with what has been know about electricity ever since Gerhard did the first experiment on human blood in 1779. It is consistent with what is known about the effects of radio waves on blood coagulation (13). Erskine and Knight saved their patients not by fighting infection, but by giving them large doses of calcium lactate to facilitate blood clotting.

    Another astonishing fact that makes no sense if this pandemic was infectious, but that makes good sense if it was caused by radio waves, is that instead of striking the old and the infirm like most diseases, this one killed mostly healthy, vigorous young people between the ages of eighteen and forty- just as the previous pandemic had done, with a little less vehemence, in 1889. This, as we saw in chapter 5, is the same as the predominant age range of neurasthenia, the chronic form of electrical illness. Two-thirds of all influenza deaths were in this age range. Elderly patients were rare. One doctor in Switzerland wrote that he "knew of no case in an infant and no severe case in persons over 50", but that "one robust person showed the first symptoms at 4pm and died before 10 the next morning." A reporter in Paris went so far as to say that "only persons between 15 and 40 years of age are affected."
    **

    The fact that those who were most exposed to these new radio waves were young adults may have had something to do with this as well I imagine.

    Can we acknowledge that population density is a much more obvious and credible causation than 5G?

    I am not arguing with the mainstream theory that Cov 2 is involved in Cov 19. With that would go the theory that Covid 19 is contagious. That's not the point of this thread, however. This thread was made to discuss the evidence that 5g networks as well as radio frequencies in other ranges could be an additive factor in Covid 19's lethality.

    So where are we at? Is it that all we do know in fact is that we haven't ruled it out on being an additive factor to covid 19?

    We're at the stage where we haven't ruled out 5G networks, intergalactic brain spiders, and the McDonald's dollar menu as additive factors to covid 19.

    We're making splendid progress.

    As far as I know, yes. However, all the clues I continue to gather point more and more to the idea that it's a factor. From evidence that the last pandemic (the spanish flu) also had radio frequencies as an additive factor, to other rather obscure things, such as the hypothesis that critical covid 19 patients may be experiencing a form of acquired acute porphyria.

    Now, you may ask, why is that important? To understand that, you'd need to understand a little of the disease itself, as well as porphyrins. From Arthur Firstenberg's 10th Chapter of his book "The Invisible Rainbow", titled "Porphyrins and the Basis of Life":
    **
    Hans Günther, the German doctor who, in 1911, gave porphyria its name, stated that “such individuals are neuropathic and suffer from insomnia and nervous irritability.”9 Morton has brought us back to the original view of porphyria: it is not only a fairly common disease but exists most often in a chronic form with comparatively mild symptoms. And its principal cause is the synthetic chemicals and electromagnetic fields that pollute our modern environment.

    Porphyrins are central to our story not only because of a disease named porphyria, which affects a few percent of the population, but because of the part porphyrins play in the modern epidemics of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes, which affect half the world, and because their very existence is a reminder of the role of electricity in life itself, a role which a few courageous scientists have slowly elucidated.**


    He then goes on at length concerning the way electricity works in our bodies. To be honest, I think you're best buying the book, as I can only quote so much, but I'll quote a bit of what he says to give you a taste. I've had to take out a paragraph, there is a 16,000 character limit on post length here. I bolded 2 passages which I think are particularly important when it comes to Covid 19:

    **
    As a child, Albert Szent-Györgyi (pronounced approximately like “Saint Georgie”) hated books and needed a tutor’s help to pass his exams. But later, having graduated from Budapest Medical School in 1917, he went on to become one of the world’s greatest geniuses in the field of biochemistry. In 1929 he discovered Vitamin C, and during the next few years he worked out most of the steps in cellular respiration, a system now known as the Krebs cycle. For these two discoveries he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1937. He then spent the next two decades figuring out how muscles function. After emigrating to the United States and settling at Woods Hole, Massachusetts, he received the Albert Lasker Award of the American Heart Association in 1954 for his work on muscles.

    Screen Shot 2020-05-07 at 5.09.56 AM.png

    But perhaps his greatest insight is one for which he is least known, although he devoted almost half his life to the subject. For on March 12, 1941, in a lecture delivered in Budapest, he boldly stood up before his peers and suggested to them that the discipline of biochemistry was obsolete and should be brought into the twentieth century. Living organisms, he told them, were not simply bags of water in which molecules floated like tiny billiard balls, forming chemical bonds with other billiard balls with which they happened to collide. Quantum theory, he said, had made such old ideas invalid; biologists needed to study solid state physics.

    In his own specialty, although he had worked out the structures of the molecules involved in muscular contraction, he could not begin to fathom why they had those particular structures, nor how the molecules communicated with one another to coordinate their activities. He saw such unsolved problems everywhere he looked in biology. “One of my difficulties within protein chemistry,” he bluntly told his colleagues, “was that I could not imagine how such a protein molecule can ‘live.’ Even the most involved protein structural formula looks ‘stupid,’ if I may say so.”

    The phenomena that had forced Szent-Györgyi to face these questions were the porphyrin-based systems of life. He pointed out that in plants, 2,500 chlorophyll molecules form a single functional unit, and that in dim light at least 1,000 chlorophyll molecules have to cooperate simultaneously in order to split one molecule of carbon dioxide and create one molecule of oxygen.

    He spoke about the “enzymes of oxidation”—the cytochromes in our cells—and wondered, again, how the prevailing model could be correct. How could a whole series of large protein molecules be arranged geometrically so that electrons could wander directly from one to the other in a precise sequence? “Even if we could devise such an arrangement,” he said, “it would still be incomprehensible how the energy liberated by the passing of an electron from one substance to the other, viz., from one iron atom to the other, could do anything useful.”

    Szent-Györgyi proposed that organisms are alive because thousands of molecules form single systems with shared energy levels, such as physicists were describing in crystals. Electrons don’t have to pass directly from one molecule to another, he said; instead of being attached to only one or two atoms, electrons are mobile, belong to the whole system, and transmit energy and information over large distances. In other words, the stuff of life is not billiard balls but liquid crystals and semiconductors.

    Szent-Györgyi’s sin was not that he was incorrect. He wasn’t. It was his failure to respect the old animosity. Electricity and life were long divorced; the industrial revolution had been running full bore for a century and a half. Millions of miles of electric wires clothed the earth, exhaling electric fields that permeated all living things. Thousands of radio stations blanketed the very air with electromagnetic oscillations that one could not avoid. Skin and bones, nerves and muscles were not allowed to be influenced by them. Proteins were not permitted to be semiconductors. The threat to industry, economics, and modern culture would be too great.

    So biochemists continued to think of proteins, proteins, lipids, and DNA as though they were little marbles drifting in a watery solution and colliding with one another at random. They even thought of the nervous system this way. When forced to, they admitted parts of quantum theory, but only on a limited basis. Biological molecules were still only permitted to interact with their immediate neighbors, not to act at a distance. It was okay to acknowledge modern physics only that much, like opening a small hole in a dam for knowledge to leak through one drop at a time, while the main structure is reinforced lest a flood demolish it.

    Old knowledge about chemical bonds and enzymes in a water solution must now coexist with new models of electron transport chains. It was necessary to invent these to explain phenomena that were most central to life: photosynthesis and respiration. Large porphyrin-containing protein molecules no longer had to move and physically interact with one another in order for anything useful to happen. These molecules could stay put and electrons could
    shuttle between them instead. Biochemistry was becoming that much more alive. But it still had a long way to go. For even in the new models, electrons were constrained to move only, like little messenger boys, between one protein molecule and its immediate neighbor. They could cross the street, so to speak, but they couldn’t travel down a highway to a distant town. Organisms were still pictured essentially as bags of water containing very complex solutions of chemicals.

    The laws of chemistry had explained a lot about metabolic processes, and electron transport now explained even more, but there was not yet an organizing principle. Elephants grow from tiny embryos, which grow from single brainless cells. Salamanders regenerate perfect limbs. When we are cut, or break a bone, cells and organs throughout our body mobilize and coordinate their activities to repair the damage. How does the information travel? How, borrowing Szent-Györgyi’s words, do protein molecules “live”?

    Despite Szent-Györgyi’s sin, his predictions have proven correct. Molecules in cells do not drift at random to collide with one another. Most are firmly anchored to membranes. The water inside cells is highly structured and does not resemble the free-flowing liquid that sloshes around in a glass before you drink it. Piezoelectricity, a property of crystals that makes them useful in electronic products, that transforms mechanical stress into electrical voltages and vice versa, has been found in cellulose, collagen, horn, bone, wool, wood, tendon, blood vessel walls, muscle, nerve, fibrin, DNA, and every type of protein examined.10 In other words—something most biologists have been denying for two centuries—electricity is essential to biology.

    Szent-Györgyi was not the first to challenge conventional thinking. It was Otto Lehmann, already in 1908, who, noticing the close resemblance between the shapes of known liquid crystals and many biological structures, proposed that the very basis of life was the liquid crystalline state. Liquid crystals, like organisms, had the ability to grow from seeds; to heal wounds; to consume other substances, or other crystals; to be poisoned; to form membranes, spheres, rods, filaments and helical structures; to divide; to “mate” with other forms, resulting in offspring that had characteristics of both parents; to transform chemical energy into mechanical motion.

    After Szent-Györgyi’s daring Budapest lecture, others pursued his ideas. In 1949, Dutch researcher E. Katz explained how electrons could move through a semiconducting chlorophyll crystal during photosynthesis. In 1955, James Bassham and Melvin Calvin, working for the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, elaborated on this theory. In 1956, William Arnold, at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, confirmed experimentally that dried chloroplasts—the particles in green plants that contain chlorophyll—have many of the properties of semiconductors. In 1959, Daniel Eley, at Nottingham University, proved that dried proteins, amino acids, and porphyrins are indeed semiconductors. In 1962, Roderick Clayton, also at Oak Ridge, found that photosynthetic tissues in living plants behave like semiconductors. In 1970, Alan Adler, at the New England Institute, showed that thin films of porphyrins do also. In the 1970s, biochemist Freeman Cope, at the United States Naval Air Development Center in Warminster, Pennsylvania, emphasized the importance of solid state physics for a true understanding of biology, as did biologist Allan Frey, the most active American researcher into the effects of microwave radiation on the nervous system at that time. Ling Wei, professor of electrical engineering at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, stated baldly that a nerve axon is an electrical transmission line and that its membrane is an ionic transistor. He said that the equivalent circuitry “can be found in any electronics book today,” and that “one can easily derive the nerve behavior from semiconductor physics.” When he did so, his equations predicted some of the properties of nerves that
    were, and still are, puzzling to physiologists.

    In 1979, a young professor of bioelectronics at the University of Edinburgh published a book titled Dielectric and Electronic Properties of Biological Materials. The earlier work of Eley and Arnold had been criticized because the activation energies they had measured—the amount of energy necessary to make proteins conduct electricity—seemed to be too large. Supposedly there was not enough energy available in living organisms to lift electrons into the conduction band. Proteins might be made to conduct electricity in the laboratory, said the critics, but this could not happen in the real world. Eley and Arnold, however, had done all their work on dried proteins, not living ones. The young professor, Ronald Pethig, pointed out the obvious: water is essential to life, and proteins become more conductive if you added water to them. In fact, studies had shown that adding only 7.5 percent water increased the conductivity of many proteins ten thousandfold or more! Water, he proposed, is an electron donor that “dopes” proteins and turns them into good semiconductors.

    The electronic role of living water had already been noted by others. Physiologist Gilbert Ling, realizing that cell water is a gel and not a liquid, developed his theory of the electronic nature of cells in 1962. More recently, Gerald Pollack, professor of bioengineering at the University of Washington, has taken up this line of investigation. He was inspired by Ling when they met at a conference in the mid-1980s. Pollack’s most recent book, The Fourth Phase of Water: Beyond Solid, Liquid, and Vapor, was published in 2011.

    [snip]

    Włodzimierz Sedlak, pursuing Szent-Györgyi’s ideas in Poland, developed the discipline of bioelectronics within the Catholic University of Lublin during the 1960s. Life, he said, is not only a collection of organic compounds undergoing chemical reactions, but those chemical reactions are coordinated with electronic processes that take place in an environment of protein semiconductors. Other scientists working at the same university are continuing to develop this discipline theoretically and experimentally today. Marian Wnuk has focused on porphyrins as key to the evolution of life. He states that the principal function of porphyrin systems is an electronic one. Józef Zon, head of the Department of Theoretical Biology at the University, has focused on the electronic properties of biological membranes.

    Oddly enough, the use of porphyrins in electronic products instructs us about biology. Adding thin films of porphyrins to commercially available photovoltaic cells increases the voltage, current, and total power output.11 Prototype solar cells based on porphyrins have been produced,12 as have organic transistors based on porphyrins.13

    The properties that make porphyrins suitable in electronics are the same properties that make us alive. As everyone knows, playing with fire is dangerous; oxidation releases tremendous energy quickly and violently. How, then, do living organisms make use of oxygen? How do we manage to breathe and metabolize our food without being destroyed in a conflagration? The secret lies in the highly pigmented, fluorescent molecule called porphyrin. Strong pigments are always efficient energy absorbers, and if they are also fluorescent, they are also good energy transmitters. As Szent-Györgyi taught us in his 1957 book, Bioenergetics, “fluorescence thus tells us that the molecule is capable of accepting energy and does not dissipate it. These are two qualities any molecule must have to be able to act as an energy transmitter.”14

    Porphyrins are more efficient energy transmitters than any other of life’s components. In technical terms, their ionization potential is low, and their electron affinity high. They are therefore capable of transmitting large amounts of energy rapidly in small steps, one low-energy electron at a time. They can even transmit energy electronically from oxygen to other molecules, instead of dissipating that energy as heat and burning up. That’s why breathing is possible. On the other side of the great cycle of life, porphyrins in plants absorb the energy of sunlight and transport electrons that change carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates and oxygen.

    I think it's more that correlation can strongly suggest causation or at least being a factor in something.

    I must admit I had to laugh at that :p. Especially since I'm not a fan of McDonalds. I haven't even seen the film Supersize me, which documents a man only eating Mcdonalds food for a month and his decline in health as he does so. Just seeing part of the trailer is more than enough for me:

    Arthur Firstenburg washed out of medical school, because the X-rays broke his brain, then he sued his neighbor because her microwave oven was making Arthur cluck like a chicken.

    Arthur has a busted noodle in his noggin.

    His latest one, Holy Chicken, is worth a watch.

    I didn't have time to read all of this, but I'll check it out, thanks.

    Allow me to summarize if I may.

    "Cuckoo! Cuckoo!"

    - Arthur Firstenberg, nutter

    I mean, right off the bat-
    Wha?

    Capture.PNG

    Not only is porphyria NOT a fairly common disease, it's a disease that barely exists. It's not even what you'd call an "orphan disease", it, statistically-speaking, is a non-existent disease.

    I mean, right in the first sentence we see Arthur painting a picture of the world that diverges widely from simple reality, and I can't imagine it gets any more rational and grounded in sanity as the voluminous paragraphs unfold.

    If cell phones are afflicting an entire 150 people on the planet with porphyria, I think we can safely file that under the category of "acceptable risks", right?

    In conclusion- Arthur Firstenberg is kooky bananapants.

    Looks promising for sure :p. I just... let's just say that I have a lot of health issues and fast food tends to get me sick really quick, so I avoid it entirely. Just watching the trailer of super size me made me nauseous. The trailer for Super Size Me 2: Holy Chicken was easier on the eye, but I'm still not sure I have the stomach to watch the disgusting things that people do to food for economic reasons, especially since I've pretty much sworn off fast food to begin with. Although with this covid 19, we're now serving free meals to tenants here that might have fast food elements to it. Maybe one day I'll look at it :p.

    I think you're far too harsh on the man. He's done a -lot- of good research.

    I'm pretty fascinated by him.

    The courts pegged him as suffering from a mental illness, and Arthur could've done the good research of putting his "EM hypersensitivity" to the test, but he, of course, refused.

    He could've helped researching his condition as the mental illness it most certainly is, but he chose to keep tilting at his windmills instead.
    In Arthur's mind, the radio waves are a pain in the balls... literally.
    His story is classic schitzo, and his mental illness is so bad he can't hold down a job or live in a house.
    It sounds like he cracked under the pressure in medical school, and it was all down the rabbit hole after that.
    And here's a weird little coincidence-
    Yeah, I fix those things for a living.

    And I'm an X-ray tech too. I've spent the last 20+ years exposed to the MEGA POWER!!!! stuff on a regular basis. I'm healthy as an ox. No pains in my balls at all.

    Poor Arthur, his brain is broken.

    I'm sorry if that sounds harsh, but I call 'em like I see 'em.
