{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-5775","number":"5775","name":"Julia Arnheim","organization":"","posted":"2026-10-28T04:00Z","received":"2026-10-19T04:00Z","body":"I am Naturopath\n\n3 a) My initial reaction started 2000 after a traumatic life event, coupled with exposure to a wireless burglar alarm and DECT cordless phones.\nb) In 2005, I was living in a town centre on a level with the masts on the telephone exchange roof. When I went out, I improved. Upon return, I was breathless, fatigued, needed support to stand, could not sing lullabies, had a swollen tongue, weight loss.\nc) I had a Near Death Experience, waking in the night with no heartbeat because I’d stopped breathing - after 8 months of living 30m from the primary boom of the nearest of six 3G masts, with 4 antennae each. I spent 2 years bed-bound, being fed, and carried to the toilet.\nd) The direct correlation between exposure and onset of symptoms was established retrospectively in 2010 when it was observed that symptoms got worse when I used a computer with a wireless internet booster.\ne) The GP was unable to diagnose EHS because the NHS do not recognise it as a medical disorder. In 2022, Dr Damien Downing, Harley Street, London confirmed the diagnosis of EHS.\nf) Removal of Wi-Fi and DECT gave immediate relief – I was able to walk up and down stairs again. Subsequent exposures, including unknown ones, confirmed the pattern, eliminating the nocebo effect. I could feel signals due to the severe Pain on the side of my head nearest the emitter, splitting headache, hot head, dizziness, utter fatigue, which would last for weeks/months. \nReduced exposure in the home allowed slow improvement. \nRelapses  worsened symptoms, and added new ones every time, making recovery ever more challenging.\n\ng) EXPOSURE CALCULATIONS 2.3 GHz radiates at 160 Wm2  so 3G radiates at 146 Wm2\n16 antennae at 146 Wm2 = 2,336 Wm2\n4 antennae at 146 Wm2 = 584 Wm2\nCalculating 10% less is 526 Wm2\nExposure was 2,336 + 526 = 2,862 Wm2\nICNIRP maximum exposure for the public is 10 Wm2 for an average man\n2,862 Wm2 ÷ 10 = 286.2 \nOccupational exposure is 50 Wm2 with a time limit of 6 minutes\n1440 minutes per day, 1440 ÷ 6 = 240\nI was exposed to 240 times the recommended occupational radiation exposure duration 24/7 for 8/12 before becoming seriously ill. \nThe SAR limit 4 W/kg is based on an average man 175 cm tall, 70.46 kg\nI weighed 8st 5lb / 53 kg. 53 x 4 = 212W, my safe exposure limit. But, I was exposed was 3,212 Watts.\n2,862 Wm2 ÷ 212 = 13.5\nI was exposed to 13.5 times higher levels of radiation than I could physiologically tolerate without permanent damage (which I did) according to government, ICNIRP, & SAR limits.\nThe safe exposure limit for an Average man: 70.46 × 4 = 281.8 = 282\nMy SAR limit as a percentage\n212 ÷ 282 x 100 = 75% & can tolerate 25% less radiation\n2,862 ÷ 7.5 = 381.6 => 382\nI was exposed to EMR 382 times higher than physiologically safe levels according to government guidelines and now suffer EMR-Syndrome/Electro-hypersensitivity.\n\n4 h-k) I observe similar symptoms in others, esp. sensitives who have had life trauma, e.g., headaches, anxiety, depression, insomnia, fatigue, not able to cope. All relieved by reducing exposure.\nl) Applied Kinesiology tests using homeopathic samples or the device are always conclusive.\nm) Studies should not use “simulated” signals, but actual devices in relation to the human Biofield, to detect actual physiological responses. \n\n5 n-p) I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation rather than leaving it to the Big Tech firms to prove safety. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health. \nThe experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence and non-peer reviewed studies. A classification system would be most useful. The Russians have done the most research, and they have the lowest exposure limits. 1996 ICNIRP Guidelines should be updated to be safety levels for the smallest and most vulnerable in society, not a 70kg man.\n\n6 – 8) Please see attached \n\n9) Greece and Japan have active information campaigns to raise awareness. UK and US governments need to recognise EMR-S/EHS, and regulate EMR so tech companies have to provide non-biologically active signals.\n\n10 – 15) Please see attached\n\n16 - 17) The highest priority research gaps are in non-thermal effects, and genetic damage.\n\n18) WE ARE THE EVIDENCE: “Canaries in the mine”, being excluded from society. I am worried that I will not be able to work, do banking, order groceries, contact family, or call in an emergency.\n\nThe planet cannot wait another year. \nPlease Recognise EMR-Syndrome, and Act Swiftly!\n","attachments":["https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-5775/attachment_1.pdf"],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-5775","tags":["health-experiences","sleep-cognition","exposure-places","policy-standards","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"14705319483b2715f3c9f7d3df674d9808d79f4c847d1d622b7d05bf935c0353","slug":"health-experiences-comment-5775","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-5775","body_sha256":"4856a6e240d7eb1e29aa634f4bd5c05085aa5638102f9412e89d06cd1d5f6fc6","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"ehs","topics":[{"id":"ehs","evidence":"22, Dr Damien Downing, Harley Street, London confirmed the diagnosis of EHS.\nf) Removal of Wi-Fi and DECT gave immediate relief – I was able"},{"id":"access","evidence":" six 3G masts, with 4 antennae each.
