Reports sleep disturbance associated with a neighbor's Wi-Fi, recounts friends' vision loss and cancer at…

Many thanks to you for taking public comments on the damaging consequences to health from the electromagnetic radiation (EMR) emitted by all high-tech devices. Until about 15 or 20 years ago, I never had any trouble sleeping in my entire life. Then, suddenly, from one day to the next, I had tremendous trouble sleeping. I could not get to sleep for hours, I could not stay asleep, or get back to sleep when I woke up throughout the night. I was mystified, because NOTHING had changed in my health or my life. After several months of this, I happened to hear an alternative health show on the radio. The topic was dangers to health and life from EMR. Often, the show's expert host said, the first consequence people notice is trouble sleeping. I realized a new neighbor had moved in when the trouble started. She confirmed she had installed WiFi in her apartment. The day the WiFi was installed, my sleep problems began. There has been irrefutable confirmation in the subsequent years. When I have traveled to countries where no one has cell phones or WiFi, I slept like a baby again. When I have traveled to heavily wired places, I could only manage to sleep 4 hours a night, and I need 8. Close friends have suffered more severely. One friend has spent 20 or 30 years using Bluetooth in his car to make phone calls. He spends 3 or 4 hours a day using Bluetooth, as he drives from job to job for the business he owns. The Bluetooth is in his left ear. He is now almost entirely blind in his left eye. The radiation has beamed straight into his optic nerve. A parade of ophthalmologists can find no other cause. Another friend lived a completely wired life. She had a cell phone, and a Tesla that charged in her garage, on the other side of her bedroom wall. She also had a cordless phone, which means she essentially had a cell tower in her living room spewing radiation. She had powerful WiFi throughout her home. She used a laptop computer, which she literally sat on her lap, its screen aimed at her midriff. The lymphoma that killed her started in her midriff. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, where the computer revolution began. Since we were the "early adopters" of this technology, we've been using it the longest. It takes years of exposure to EMR for the most serious conditions to manifest, and here at Ground Zero everyone knows people who have experienced the consequences. Glioblastoma brain tumors, for instances, show up in the general population at rates unheard-of in past years, and at younger and younger ages. Brittany Maynard, the poster child of the right-to-die movement in California, was 28 years old when she died of a glioblastoma brain tumor. She had to move from California to Oregon to obtain doctors' help in cutting short the suffering leading to her inevitable death.
