ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have been electrosensitive for a few decades. I must wear shielding when I go out and can't have wireless or anything "smart" in my home. I can't socialize normally because I can't be around cell phones or wifi. I can't go in an ambulance or a public bus,train or airplane. I can't go the hospital and can't have surgery if I need it. Too much wireless radiation. It's a big problem that other people will increasingly experience. My cardiologist tested me with a cell phone & saw an increase in my heart rate.I also get arrhythmias, brain fog, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, headaches that land me in bed.I am very concerned about the effects on babies,children,all people. You know that wireless radiation is harmful. I am not going to attach studies.You have all of them you don't need me to show you. I am aware of the studies at ehtrust.org & mdsafetech.org. Our radiation exposure standards are less protective than most countries & are not protective at all. I want you to protect us and our environment (animals, insects and birds) from this pollution.I want you to maintain land line infrastructure & service for national security and health reasons.Children who use wireless phones before adulthood have a 4x higher rate of brain cancer according to the scientific literature. Yet most children now use cell phones and do not have land lines at home. People need to be made aware of what that is doing to their children, to our future, including to their fertility and the fertility of future generations, and to their lifespan and health. Protect children in schools. Stop irradiating babies and children, including in doctor's offices. Stop irradiating hospital patients. Study the exposures from medical devices like insulin pump therapy that is a 24/7 exposure, put a focus on these patients, be transparent, communicate findings to endocrinologists and other involved practitioners so that best practices can be determined and implemented without further delay. Use hard wired connections in schools and wherever possible in society. Start a nationwide program to measure individual exposure levels so that we know what people are actually exposed to from all these separate sources that add up. Investigate the exposure levels of employees required to use tech for work like store employees that are required to use a business cell phone and/or tablet throughout their workday and police officers who are required to wear wireless cameras over their hearts and laptops in their cars, &other wireless equipment on or near them throughout their shifts. What are the exposure levels for these people? Nurses too who are required to wear hospital cell phones around their necks, over heart, lungs and thyroid, above pregnant abdomens, that transmits to and from the nurse's station throughout their shifts. The FCC didn't approve the radiation from these extra phones. And these employees usually have a personal cell phone in their pockets. Even while pregnant. Measure the exposure of pregnant women and teach them how to minimize it. Make knowledgeable experts available to help citizens measure, understand and deal with this pollution. TEACH the public what the problems are and how to mitigate them. Teach children in schools so they understand what this is and how it works and how to use it safely (if there is a way to use it safely). END the use of technology that is known to be dangerous until it is shown/proven to be safe. Stop exposing people in nursing homes and other institutions like prisons. Follow the precautionary principle. Keep wireless out of schools, BAN cell tower placement anywhere near homes, schools, and businesses of any kind. And here is the big problem with cell tower placement - there is no place on earth where there is not life that can be harmed and we should be concerned about ALL life, not just human life. Animals, birds and even plant life is adversely affected. The bird population is declining rapidly. Birds roost on cell towers. It is a crime. EMR even causes an increase in mold and fungal growth and illness. It affects all body systems, every cell, and makes people very sick. People affected are often misdiagnosed because physicians do not recognize the cause since it is invisible and our government assures it is safe. Young adults have a massively increased rate of colon cancer. The most likely cause is radiation from growing up with laptops on their laps, wireless game controllers in their hands in their laps and cell phones in their pockets. NO ONE bothered to tell a generation that a laptop should not be closer than 8 inches from the body and cell phones should not be closer than 5/8" from the body according to the manufacturer's fine print. And they still don't know. And most doctors don't know. Stop denying that there is a problem. Stop playing games and do your job. PLEASE. This is a neglected crisis.
