After some time and experiencing like my brain was swelling with nowhere to go,\nIt was trapped in the scull and a feeling of claustophobia came over me. I looked at the modem and saw that there was a switch to turn \nthe wireless feature off which I did. But now no signal to the computer for internet. So, I ran CAT-5 internet cables to my 2 computers\nfrom the modem to the ethernet ports on the computers. I also turned off the wireless and blue tooth fearures in the software in the computer.\nI also turned of the wireless and bluetooth features in my phone and moved my smart phone away away from me to near the front door\nAfter 30 minutes the brain swelling disapated and the feeling of claustophobia went away.\nwent away. \n\n\nI support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence. I produced a video on You Tube about the dangers about EMR damage\nto society. Sincerely, Paul A. Hackman   Stone Mountain, Georgia\n\nI urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health.\n\nThank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.
