A public health nurse attributes blood-pressure changes and other illness to smart meters and wireless ex…

Department of Health and Human Services, As a healthcare professional, an RN with over 40 years of experience, I know the dangers and benefits of exposure to non-ionizing and ionizing radiation. I know the science behind radiography and the science behind microwave radiation. In the clinical setting, measures are taken to reduce exposure, however, in the general environment, there are no safety controls, nor is there any formal data collected on symptoms related to RF, or radiowave exposure. Wireless radiation from tech devices and the advent of the installation of Smart Meters has increased ambient EMFs, or electromagnetic fields. As a public health nurse, I am attentive to the effects such environmental changes have caused. One of the effects of exposure of EMFs on the body is a clustering or aggregation of red blood cells. There has been an increase in the incidence of strokes over the last decade since the Smart Meters replaced the Android meters for utility use monitoring. Strokes have been occurring more frequently among younger people. Exposure to EMFs can cause a rise in blood pressure. Knowing this, at the time the Smart meters became ubiquitous, I collected BP readings from many people in my community. I consistently saw higher blood pressures in elderly who were positioned near a wall with a Smart meter attached. I tried desperately to appeal to leaders and politicians to take notice of these deleterious health effects, but the subject of health effects from EMFs seemed to be completely off the agenda, out of their purview. Regardless of the data I could demonstrate, no official would respond to my concern. My care, expertise and preventive efforts were completely ignored. My authority as a public health professional was rendered inert. Over the years since the advent of Smart Meters and pervasive WiFi, I have continued to watch people become ill with chronic conditions. Non-ionizing radiation represents oxidative stress on the body, which is well-known in science and can cause a wearing down of the immune system, as well as many other cellular changes. For the Federal government to ignore, to refuse to study this issue is clearly a disservice to the American people. Many of us are happy that RFK Jr. has tackled the 'cover-up problem' when it comes to health. I'm so upset watching my people suffer, but glad that HHS is finally responding. Thank you, Teresa Sanders, BSN, RN
