research Studies and Symptom Trackers
“No one should have to sacrifice their health so others can profit.”
The UC San Diego Golomb Research Group, headed by Dr. Beatrice Golomb, studies many different conditions related to oxidative stress and cell energy impairments. They are currently working with Gulf War Veterans, as well as with people experiencing side effects from fluoroquinolone antibiotics, statin cholesterol lowering medications, radiofrequency radiation (and other non-ionizing radiation) – e.g., from cell towers or smart meters, and persons affected by the toxin release following the 2023 train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio.
YOU ASKED — AND DR. GOLOMB DELIVERED!
East Palestine, OH Symptom Tracker
Now, everyone in impacted communities (you do not have to be in the Golomb Study) finally has a way to track illness and symptoms quickly, easily, and on your own schedule. The tracker takes about 5 minutes the first time you fill it out, and after that, a simple box appears where you just enter new symptoms or diagnoses. Fill it out as many times as needed!
Keep the link on your phone and you can add updates from anywhere, anytime, anywhere, keeping our community’s health documented and visible.
This is a huge step forward for protecting our health and making sure our voices are heard!

For Newly Impacted Communities
About six months after chemical exposure, many people are just beginning to notice changes in their health while clear answers remain limited. The general survey/ symptom reporter below helps communities document symptoms and concerns early—before patterns are missed or forgotten.
This survey is not a diagnosis. It is a tool for awareness, record-keeping, and collective advocacy, helping communities better understand their experiences and push for transparency, monitoring, and action.
Citizen Science Study
Tracking animal health is critical for communities impacted by chemical exposure—both to protect animals and to protect people.
Animals often show signs of toxic exposure earlier and more clearly than humans. Changes in pets, livestock, and wildlife—such as unexplained illness, reproductive problems, behavioral changes, or sudden deaths—can be early warning signals of environmental contamination that may also threaten human health
