It is more subtle than that. There are various protein molecules that vibrate inside the cells as a part of their normal functions including those responsible for immune system functions. As such there are absorption spectra due to resonance with vibration frequencies. This was mostly ignored in past, but there are speculations that 5-5O GHz radiation can be absorbed affecting molecular functions with unknown consequences.

    You read the abstract and still shared this here? "A case series of 64 patient-reported outcomes subsequent to use of a silver-threaded cap designed to protect the brain and brain stem from microwave Electrosmog resulted in 90 % reporting “definite” or “strong” changes in their disease symptoms." (edit: in case it isn't clear, this is not how you science)

      Well, you have asked for it and I wrote initially “speculations” without citing this. The idea that complex protein molecules may absorb 5-50 GHz radiation via proposed mechanism in the paper is at least plausible and the calculations from the paper does not look like totally unsound. So this should be investigated.

    I don't understand how they could conclude that their sleeping caps had any effect when they apparently went into the study with the belief that they work and decided not to have a placebo control group because it would be unethical. As these patients were all ill, many undergoing olmesartan treatment with therapeutic intent, we decided that ethical considerations precluded the distribution of “placebo caps” without the silver threads. And they were apparently distributed to those that requested them, likely those that already thought they would work: Sleeping caps” were sewn and, upon informed request, distributed free of charge to members of our follow-up olmesartan cohort.
