the biggest problem with any of these theories is the sun. the sun puts out a mind boggling amount of millimeter wave radiation so it's very hard to believe a-priori that the cell signals are a problem.





Nobody is askin you to believe anything a-priori. The point here is that we haven't looked into what the affects mean. The sun puts out considerably less radio emission than it does any other EMR (xray, UV, visible, infrared). Many of the wavelengths are then deflected, absorbed, weakened, etc by the atmosphere. Logically speaking, if the wavelength that we use for forms of radio communication make it to earth, then we would need to transmit at a higher power to overcome that background noise. Again, logically speaking, when the tests are being done, the observation in increased glucose consumption etc are being observed over the natural baseline affects of the sun.

If this were true, GPS wouldn't work. It's entirely possible to communicate below the noise floor. See https://www.pa3fwm.nl/technotes/tn09b.html for a mathematical analysis.


Your link is talking about reception strength. What are the powers at transmit?

The difference between sunlight and mmWave 5G EMFs is so much different that I cannot convince you here.

But, lets sy they are the same, we are not exposed to sunlight at night, but we are exposed to ELF-EMFS and RF-EMFs now 24x7. Imagine living with a 24 hour sun.


Do you know many people who have spent too much time in the sun? There is something not right about them…

Is there any actual study on this? I have encountered some extraordinarily strange people in places like Reno, Bakersfield, Yuma, and other desert cities. Strange in a different way from the usual wierdos I run into in places like Seattle, LA, NY, ATL, etc.

The only population I’ve encountered with a similar strangeness to them is folks who have worked their whole life in a high VOC environment. Paint shops, print shops, that kind of thing. We were shopping for some custom canvas work for a boat, and at every shop we got quotes from there was overpowering smell of polyvinyl chloride, and every shop owner had a very weird affect to them.


As someone with schizophrenia I know for a fact bright sun and heat make my mood disorder harder to handle. Heat and humidity are well know triggers for mood episodes [1]. The stress could be from inflammation, catecholamine release, or even the increased blue light.
