Unfortunately, what you have state below is nothing more than 'anecdotal'
evidence...

The proof is in the power...I mean pudding!

Barry Kirkwood says he is reasonably persuaded the biological effect on
adult humans from being subjected to strong fields in the VLF-HF region ae
minimal.

When we here in the UK were granted an allocation in the 136 Khz region, I
set about building an obsolete technology transmitter with valves (tubes)
Max pwr was about 60 watts of RF. I used computer modelling for the various
tank constants, but neverthess once constructed, these required adjustment
for maximum performance. This entailed circuit adjustments/component
substitution whilst the system was energised and producing RF.

One several instances whilst making adjustments over periods of say one
hour, I got quite definite headaches. This was not one isolated instance nor
was it imagination and I an unaware of any other possible or likely cause.
Put it this way, after that experience, no way would I spend more than a
very short time in the vicinity of such an RF source, and would avoid doing
so at all where possible. I cannot speculate on the nature of the biological
implications, but to me the headaches had causal connection with the large
RF fields in the immediate vicinity.

As a matter of interest, for some years I worked as lawyer for a power
company which  was being sued by people claiming adverse medical conditions
arising from alleged power line/power equipment radiation. The case never
went to trial due to financing problems encountered by the claimants, but I
don't think this kind of claim will just go away in future.
