My bet is that is you secretly switch off the tower, people will still experience the same side effects
Uhhhh.... we're talking about
TREES here. The article was about TREES this time, not people. I think you should take very careful note of that before we go one step further. This is a slightly different game we are playing this time. Trees do not fake symptoms. They do not suffer psychosomatic illnesses, nor display nocebo effects.
I've investigated many cases of trees being scorched and stunted by cellphone towers, bending away from them etc. One case involved a tree doing a literal U-turn away from a nearby mast. The Arboricultural Association checked out this case, and said that there was no other explanation for what was going on, other than the radiation. These trees were scorched, deformed, bending away from the mast, and cancerous. The Association happy to quoted as saying, "Trees are stronger than humans -- if this radiation's doing this to the trees, what's it doing to us?" Nearby, there was a row of pine trees that were busy dying for no reason, about 100m from the mast.
But I saw these pine trees at Tracey-Lee Dorny's home with my own eyes, and if I hadn't, I would
not have believed what happened there. Apparently the arboricultural person who came in to inspect, kept saying -- "When was there a fire? Yes, but when was the fire?" -- because this is exactly what it looks like. One side of the tree is more scorched in each case, like someone directed a flamethrower at this grove. This is really, really dramatic damage, and there's no doubt that all these trees will die unless something is done. They've all been perfectly healthy for years -- now what is causing this? In an otherwise quiet residential suburb, with no industry, no agricultural pesticides, no water problems? No one has come up with any even remotely plausible alternative explanation. I would be happy to entertain any reasonable ideas against what I saw. They can be tested if they are viable suggestions.
The other thing is that there are hundreds of scientific papers indicating exactly this kind of damage to trees from microwaves. I've made several references to this on this forum, including the Skrunda studies, where tree ring dating showed that the stunting of trees started exactly with microwave exposure. The US Geological and Wildlife Service also released a report with extensive evidence of trees being severely damaged by radiation from cellphone masts.
One of the most interesting observations was that much of what was called 'acid rain' damage in Europe, was actually being caused by microwave radar beams. This was pointed out by a retired Siemens electrical engineer called Wolfgang Volkrodt, who saw vast swathes of pine trees being devastated in the line of microwave beams from Cold War radar stations. This damage was all being blamed on acid rain from motor car exhaust pollution. But the damage was nowhere near highways -- it was in the line of radar stations.
He investigated further, and became convinced that the whole catalytic converter story in Germany, that cars needed to clean their exhaust fumes to prevent acid rain, was actually a big ploy by right-wing German politicians to boost apartheid South Africa, source of 80% of the world's platinum. I have two of Volkrodt's full reports in hard copy, but they're not on the Internet any more. You can find a story about him here, translated from the German, titled Directional Radio Beams Cut Breaks into Forests:

Might be interesting for Jannie van Zyl to research what an Electronic Engineer has to say on the subject, and I will be digging out Volkrodt's reports. It would be totally disastrous for the SA economy if it were revealed that the whole catalytic converter story was an apartheid scam. Imagine that!
