The reason was I felt like I was going crazy after using a cordless phone\nOr a wireless phone.  By 2013 my husband said we couldn’t afford a landline and also an iphone. By that time I also understood I \nCould purchase some protection from the wireless radiation - which I did.  My iphone is kept on LTE and does not connect to 5Gs at all.\nAs I have spoken to other folks I heard another say putting cell phone (before 5Gs) to her head caused earaches.  Earaches ended when\nShe stopped using it that way.\nAnother elderly person reported feeling depleted of energy from cell tower put near her home residential area.  Children relatives had earaches only when visiting her.  Earaches stopped when kids stoped visiting.  Cell towers are not okayed to be put near schools or\ndirectly on school grounds in other countries. My husband felt nauseated after about 15 minutes on school grounds with a cell tower about 650 yards from the school.  Children’s Health Defense has a lot of science showing the negative biological effects of wireless radiation to children with thinner skulls than adults and so more sensitive,  5Gs is many times more powerful than previous technology.  And I see pregnant women exposing their fetus to it.\nSmart meters here in Virginia are being put on houses after residents said “no”.  They are pulsing radiation through the walls and residents can measure with a hand-held meter sold at Virginians for Safe Technology.  They are foisting “opt out” meters on houses\nthe opposers live in.  These meters are jacking up the sine waves going through the walls.  As I came to understand that I measured with a different hand-held plug-in meter.  Many of my walls measured 318, 5x as many as the 60 I was exposed to as a child.\nI am using a stylus to write this on a tablet with protection on it rar away from the router.  I feel more fatigued when I’m exposed to more wireless radiation.  I have a history of having an overload of heavy metals.\nWe need regulations and education about all this wireless to have quality of life for all the living.","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1059","tags":["child-development","health-experiences","exposure-places","policy-standards"],"source_hash":"6039bda7f60540174415baec337a212e1424e85d7d3845ab03211af77971f15b","slug":"child-development-comment-1059","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1059","body_sha256":"ee224bcb1ab125516aa83979c17f6ba7c179e959ab1bf195046fd1457e5acc4c","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"standards","topics":[{"id":"standards","evidence":"ess radiation.
