I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. The public needs to be protected from these harmful emfs , RF & Wireless radiation.

I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding for the future health of myself and my children. Ever since 5G wireless radiation has become the norm, I have experienced tinnitus and headaches. I live within a mile of a cell tower and I have become very sensitive in my hands all the way up to my elbows when holding a cell phone. I believe that HHS should be investigating the short and long term effects of EMF’s, RF radiation and Wireless Radiation exposure. I 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 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. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.

I used a cordless phone years ago. When I would talk over 15 minutes I always got a nasty headache on the side I held the receiver the most. When I hung up the headache would lessen and then cease. It finally made me realize it was best not to use cordless phones. Cell phones and microwaves have always been on my caution list. This seems only common sense. I can't possibly understand the lack of safety testing, except the amount of pure profit at the expense of the consumers.

At home I always turn off my wifi at night so that my body gets a break from the wifi energy plus I then get a good rest. While renting at an airbnb, I forgot to turn off the wifi and for a couple of nights I was restless and couldn't sleep. When I finally realized the wifi had been on day and night, I went and turned it off. Immediately my body relaxed and I could feel a buzzing leave my body. I did not even realize the buzzing had accumulated over the couple of days that the wifi was on, but it was significant and noticeable when the wifi was turned off. That night I slept well and got a good nights sleep! So, I feel we as humans need protection from EMF energy waves! I experienced it!

It started as a joke. I could not hold on to a flip cell phone for long. It would burn and give me nerve pain in my hand and continue up my arm and neck. When I had an emergency and had to keep that phone on my ear, it felt like a burning drill going deeper and deeper. My head hurts so bad. It hurts to think. I cannot figure anything out. I'm lost in the simple grid of my city. My heart starts pounding to fast. My stomach starts to cramp, when I get home I have runny diarrhea. I cannot sleep. I cannot live in my house. I have to find places to sleep in my metal camper. My smart meter in the house hurt me, and the electric company sent out an emf person who took her meter reading at the wall and moved it out telling me the emfs get less a few inches from the wall. I tell her where in the house I get so sick. She says oh, that is wireless emfs, my meter does not do wireless. I can point out each house around my block as each one gets wireless. I put shielding all over my house, got rid of wireless, cell phones, anything I could think of, but I had to move away in to the hills where fortunately there are no cell towers. I do have a hard line phone that AT&T want to do away with. We turn breakers on as needed. My husband drives an hour into town to do the errands. On occasion I go with him to the grocery store. I run around as fast as I can. I cannot go through the check out. The cashiers machines shock me in the head. Anyone with a phone in line (everyone) shocks me. The cameras shock me. All the wireless makes me sick to the stomach. My husband has to check out, and we have to go home immediately where it is safe for me. There is much more to my story, but I will tell you that while living like this, I am so isolated. I thank God for leading me to this safe area to live. I don't know how much longer it will still be safe for me. Thank you for listening to me.

Digital meters, 5G, and strong electric lines affect me in various ways! The meter on our house cause severe sleep deprivation and I feel a constant vibration inside my body. Some days/times it's much worse than others, but always constant! I can see a 5G tower from my home, only a few blocks away. Vibrations for stronger after it was installed. Wi-Fi contributes. I also feel a pressure and can get headaches when close to strong power lines. I have also experienced tooth pain and jaw pain from the same and possibly from some other strong electric/EMF fields/devices... As I have have experienced those symptoms without being able to identify what could be causing it...Alway while driving. But after getting some distance away, the symptoms disappear.

I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding from the perspective of a parent of a disabled child and a concerned member of the public. I first became aware of the issues with wireless radiation when my son, who has brain damage from a vaccine injury just as he turned one, began walking around holding his ears and complaining about a buzz. This coincided with the people starting to use wifi in our apartment complex. I began to look into this and came across the studies by Dietrich Klinghardt MD, Ph.D. He found that wireless radiation has serious adverse affects on individuals, some more than others, or some manifest or experience symptoms more than others. In particular he was concerned about the developing fetus, infants and small children with their more permeable and still developing brains being exposed to wifi in the home, through their parents cell phone use, in cribs with the baby monitors, etc. He felt it could be a cause of autism and other neurodevelopmental problems. As with the vaccine industry who for decades has failed to conduct responsible safety and efficacy studies, the telecommunications industry is similarly culpable. They are exposing us to higher and higher levels of EMFs, without the studies that would indicate if these levels are safe. I was so concerned about my son with the wifi situation rising in my society, that I took him out of school, age 9, and we moved to the cloud forest of Costa Rica and lived off the grid for four years. This was extremely beneficial to both of us. He became more verbal. We both slept so much better, and our stress level reduced significantly. We are now back in the country. I am a university English professor, and needed to return or lose my job. When we returned, we rented a small basement studio apartment of a household who agreed to use corded connections for their devices. However, I came home one day to discover that a smart meter had been installed on the house, 5 yards from my son's bed! From that moment I realized that I had to purchase our own small home so that I could control the situation better. We were able to buy a small house in our community. It had already installed a smart meter, however. I threatened legal action against the electric company, sent letters verifying the dangers of the smart meter, to our health, as well as to our house, since the lack of surge protection could result in the house being burned down. I told them my son's disability required them to instead give us an analog meter. But they refused. The smart meter was attached to the garage, on the other side of the house from the bedrooms, but still I feel the affects of this meter. I have serious problems settling down for a restful night's sleep. It is the only issue with our house, since I have internet that uses a corded connection to the router. We have no wifi. I have no cell phone. We have a land line phone. I have a gauss meter. When I moved in, aside from the repeated and destabilizing pulsing from the exasperating smart meter, my house readings were quite good, generally in the green range. However, over the past seven years, since buying our house, the readings are more in the yellow range. I attribute this to the ever increasing amount of EMFs in our environment. EMFHelpCenter.com is a good site for information and strategies for how to legally insist on the Electric Company replacing the smart meter with an analog meter.

I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding from the perspective of a concerned citizen and health researcher/coach. As a homeowner in Carlsbad...I was subjected to increased radiation exposure from from the installations that took place at Calaveras park during 2020-2021 with not public notice or input. My professional EMF meter confirmed that what was coming in through my window as excessive and greatly effecting my nervous system. This disruption in my sleep was profound and caused many issues for me...disturbing my daily work like....such as brain fog, irritability and flu like symptoms that have been proven to be associated with EMF exposure.

Wireless radiation and it's effects is something that has been on my mind since the introduction of 5G. As a parent and concerned citizen, I do not believe enough research was conducted before the US changed to 5G towers. It seems to me that since that happened, there has been more and more people affected by cancer today than in any other time in history. I would really like to see more research done in this field. This is why I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation.
