Former NSA spy believes he contracted Parkinson's from a microwave attack

A former US National Security Agency officer believes that a weaponized microwave attack caused the Parkinson’s disease that is now slowly killing him 10 years later.

Mike Beck was diagnosed with the degenerative neurological disorder in 2006, when he was only 46.

The exact cause of Parkinson’s remains largely a mystery to doctors, researchers and sufferers like Beck.

Little research has been conducted on the relationship between Parkinson’s and forms of radiation like microwaves, but experts say that they can’t be ruled out as contributing factors.
