{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-1840","number":"1840","name":"Cyndi Lemmon","organization":"","posted":"2026-10-07T04:00Z","received":"2026-10-07T04:00Z","body":"I have acute electromagnetic hypersensitivity. It began with multiple perplexing symptoms: muscle and joint pain especially my legs and feet; memory difficulties; dizziness/fogginess; heart pounding/palpitations; cataracts (just had cataract surgery); ringing in the ears constantly; night sweats; periodic itching; etc. All I could do was sit on the couch and cry. Desperate, I found the first website WEEP (which goes back to 2008!) describing everything I was experiencing and found books and articles I devoured (Exposed by Bill Cadwallader; EMF Practical Guide by Lloyd Burrell, Zapped by Ann Louise Gittleman, The Invisible Rainbow by Arthur Firstenberg.…) Discovering there are EMF specialists, I hired one here in the Twin Cities (Building Biologists) who helped with some mitigations such as replacing smart meter, installing ethernet, turning breakers off at night, creating a safe sleeping space, EMF power strips, ditching the microwave, etc. I consulted with an EMF specialist online, Jeremy Johnson, who helped further with meters, travel bed canopies, fiber optic set up with the ethernet, computer safety, etc. I’m surrounded by cell towers, from 1/2 to 2 miles away. My previous regular bike route in any direction passes a cell tower. EMF protective clothing and blankets can help a little particulary in the car but are only a small part of the equation. There have been many studies concerning EMF particularly with iPhones as listed in the books above; however, the standard on what is safe still goes back to tests done in the 90s measuring heat – we are way past that now! I also have read many articles about 5G and 6G having been developed as bioweapons by our own government – why do we need these frequencies? Lastly, I can hardly stand it when I see cell towers placed at schools, churches and parks with children being exposed day after day. Four doctors and a dentist later, I am giving them information on EMF and symptoms. They never heard of it – are they diagnosing symptoms such as mine without realizing the real source? Lastly, please visit 4rbees.com who has developed PureWave cells thoroughly research – saving the bees plus humans are using it as well. We are all being affected on a cell level from EMF. Please take action to protect us!
