Housing, work & access barriers

EMFs have had negative impacts in several of my family members. The most severe happened to my father in 2021.He had chromosome deletion that caused strokes, and needed regular blood transfusions because his body stopped making normal red blood cells. The last blood transfusion was contaminated with mrna vax, gave him another stroke and his heart stopped at the hospital. My mother had a heart attack while living in the same home in 2024. Both happened within 3 years of the high school getting wires ran under their home and new infrastructure added into the ceiling of the building. They still used a landline, but also had internet . My dad never used a cell phone, or a computer. My mom used a cell phone to text or call, but nothing else. My experience everyday, is debilitating. Its worsened my condition, is ageing me rapidly, has thinned my hair, and my teeth fall out like im in a nightmare. An entire tooth, undamaged, coming out into my hand. One had 3 whole, undamaged roots still intact. Now my bottom front teeth are nearly coming out. A couple days ago, one did, I pushed it back in. My body hurts constantly, like I have the flu, but im not sick. I have heart palpitations often. I get lightheaded in certain areas at work. My vision has gotten so bad the past 2 years, that I almost did not get my license renewed. I get blisters on my skin if im outside for any amount of time ,without being fully covered. My hands and arms have white splotches where there is no melanin now. The brain fog is unbearable. The sleepiness is stealing my life. Ive switched all the LEDs back to incandescent my home The new LED bulbs installed at my job, called BioUp, alter circadian rhythm, and hormones, and have disrupted my menstrual cycle tremendously. I now bleed 3 weeks, stop for 1, and repeat. I’m 45 years old. And still have small children Im raising alone. I cant shop at certain stores, because by the time I check out, my brain fog is so severe and sleepiness so heavy, that im unable to safely drive home. My children are all affected with headaches and various things. My teenager has noticed severe cramps during school, and heavier cycles. She also experience the same stereotypical symptoms of covid, which mimic radiation illness, and has been studied in metadata analysis reports for similarities. Symptoms are loss of taste and smell, and congestion currently. She has body aches. Her mood swings are so severe the past couple weeks, that ive nearly called medics too assess her. This is all since school started Aug 24 2026. My youngest is gaining weight rapidly, complains of headaches often, nearly everyday, and struggles to sleep. My oldest has hypothyroid and skin rashes no one can explain, and was told he has rheumatoid arthritis at 23 yo. Hes always been very active, athletic, and lives a healthy life. . My 2nd oldest has depression and anxiety, sleep disorder, and has had mri to check for concerns with headaches.

I’m not sure why but I can’t have my wifi on in the house at all. My heart starts having palpitations and I get very emotional. My last dream home I bought was a few feet away from a transmission line and from day one my whole body felt like it was getting shocked. It was a living nightmare. I somehow got through RN school sleeping in my car away from the house. Finally we moved to the country and I’m fine. I just can’t have the wifi on so it stays off when I’m here! My child’s brand new school is getting built and there is a cell tower right above it. Please make it mandatory all cell towers have to be removed from a child’s school or with in so many feet. We know they cause cancer already so what are we waiting for

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 patient. I am currently 75. Around 2011 I experienced tinnitus in my right ear only. I consulted an ear, nose, and throat doctor, who sent me for an MRI. He said that one sided hearing loss could be caused by a tumor. The MRI revealed that I had an acoustic neuroma. These tumors are usually benign, but if they grow, they can require invasive surgery which can result in hearing loss, facial paralysis, and more. These tumors take up to 10 years to form. I started using a cell phone around 2001. From the beginning, I believed that my tumor was caused by cell phone use. I'm right handed, its my right ear, and I held my phone up to that ear for long periods of time talking to people long distance with that phone. I was unaware of the radiation coming from cell phones. At first I had an MRI with contrast yearly for 7 years. That contrast was gadolinium which is a heavy metal. I now regret complying with that requirement because of the possible health ramifications from heavy metals. Current medical research indicates that the contrast is not required for MRIs of acoustic neuromas and my current doctor agrees. Initially, it was very frightening to have a tumor in my head and I experienced anxiety about the possibility that invasive surgery might be required. When my tumor was diagnosed, the medical literature did not show a relationship between acoustic neuroma and cell phone use, but it does now. Initially, my doctor did not attribute the tumor to cell phone use. My current doctor does. Yet, the general public continues to use these phones and to give them to their children to use with little understanding of the possible health consequences. Now I often tell people about my tumor and the fact that research has proven that they are caused by cell phone radiation. The public needs to know this and our government needs to protect American citizens from this danger, especially vulnerable children. I do as much as I can to avoid exposure to radiation which is very difficult in a world where 5G is everywhere, xrays are often recommended, smart meters are forced on American citizens, etc. I was an academic librarian when I started to lose the hearing in my right ear. That loss affected my ability to hear students who asked questions at the reference desk and to hear students during my presentations to classes. I have difficulty hearing people speak when there is a great deal of background noise and this affects my relationships and ability to communicate. I must position myself with my good ear closest to the person speaking in many situations in order to hear conversation. Sometimes I stop trying to hear. Fortunately, as soon as I stopped holding the phone up to my ear, my tumor stopped growing. I have been watching and waiting for years now. My doctor believes that my tumor will not grow and I can avoid surgery. Others are not so lucky. I have seen patients at support group meetings who have experienced facial paralysis as a result of their surgery. I object to being exposed to more and more unchecked radiation in the world that we live in and believe that it is unconscionable that our government has not protected its citizens from this danger. Data centers are springing up everywhere exposing the public to more and more technology and radiation. Technology companies should have to prove that their products are safe prior to putting them on the market. Instead, citizens are injured and must prove that the technology caused their injury. How many of those children now using cell phones will have tumors like mine in 10 years or cancerous tumors as a result of cell phone radiation? Therefore, I wholeheartedly 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 am very lucky that my tumor has only taken my hearing in one ear and has stopped growing. Others will continue to experience these tumors until the health of American citizens is prioritized and companies are required to prove that their products are safe before they can sell them.

I'm a chiropractor. A while back a couple I had been treating started devloping odd symptoms that did not fit their previous patterns. A huge cell tower had been put up about a hundred yeards from their house. I begged them to move but it kept being put off. She developed atrial tribulation and he died of multiple myeloma. PLUS – each neighbor next to them died of cancer along with their dogs, also of cancer. I commonly see insomnia, headaches and agitation with patients exposed to high wi-fi microwave radiation. I surmise that microwave radiation increases inflammation throughout the body and some people can handle it better than others depending upon many factors. Personally I have a meter to measure wi-fi and do not spend any time in high radiation. Consequently I am much less social than I used to be, not going to restaurants, concerts etc. The health effects of microwave radiation need to be QUANTIFIED!!!! so people can know and regulate what they are dealing with. The proliferation of microwave without adequate investigation is CRIMINAL!!! FCC and government malfeasance is KILLING people!

I am a concerned member of the public submitting my response to HHS in regards to electromagnetic fields and wireless radiation exposure. Personally, I find it very difficult to use a computer and to be around devices that emit EMF’s. This radiation severely affects my brain, so that it is very difficult for me to think and I need to lay down and rest. Several years ago I purchased a hybrid vehicle and became sick for the entire time I owned it. The car caused me to become weak and I could no longer pick up heavy objects as I once had. . My back started to go out on me and I constantly felt like I had a flu with aches, pains and exhaustion. This lasted for six years, until I decided to get rid of my car, to see if I would begin to feel better. Although I did not know what the outcome would be, I hoped at least I would not get worse. To my relief my flu like symptoms and exhaustion improve significantly. Although it is still very difficult for me to be in front of computers and wireless technology, I am grateful to no longer have the debilitating symptoms that my hybrid car caused me. This experience has left me extremely concerned about the health of children and all people and animals as most all of us are exposed to this type of radiation. I have noticed in my area in southern Californiathat we have less insects, bats birds and other wild animals, leaving me to believe that this radiation is affecting the well-being of all. Thank you, HHS, for allowing me to submit my experiences with EMF’s and wireless technology.

I have had and am still having so much sensitivity to EMF's and it has disabled me. I started working in a county office in Coconino County AZ, where we had a cell phone tower dressed up to look like a pine tree. It was at the end of the parking lot from where I sat at my desk. I did not feel the radiation while working there but believe that this is what over sensitized me, starting my condition of EMF hypersensitivity. I gradually became more and more sensitive to EMF's from 2013 onwards until I was unable to tolerate being around electricity in general. Radio frequencies, including cell phones, cell phone towers, wifi routers, blue tooth, etc all are very uncomfortable and even cause me physical pain. I was homeless for quite a while because I was unable to tolerate living in a house with even electricity, as the electric and magnetic fields from those became unbearable to me as well. (While I was living in Tucson AZ, it had become really bad as we had a cell phone tower installed at the top of our street as well as one down at the bottom of our neighborhood. And also had our house encircled with people with solar instillations which also put off a high dirty electricity filed, and then we had 5G put down our alley, smart meters on every house, and I then was unable to tolerate living there. During this time several of my older neighbors began falling more often and eventually one broke their hip and the others mild dementia became severe, the one who broke their hip passed away from complications, and then the one with mild dementia who became severe needed to live in a care facility and passed away quickly. My mom had several heart attacks after their putting in the increased radio frequency generating devices, I had neurological issues that started during that time period and we disabling, as well as several others in my neighborhood had neurological issues begin and many had heart related conditions with another on my street passing away within months of the "upgrade". I can still feel radio frequencies and I find myself turning my head and looking at them as I pass by cell /data towers, not intentionally, it is just something that happens. I eventually built a tiny house out of a shipping container as a faraday cage to be able to handle living in their new modern environment with supposed "high tech" surroundings, towers, wifi etc everywhere. And at least now I have a safe place to live that doesn't hurt my body. I also back in 2017 had developed a breast tumor and cancer in my right breast because I always had my cell phone resting in that area tucked into my breast pocket. And then I started to learn and understand how dangerous that was, and now keep it in airplane mode every night and keep it away from my body at all times as to not be irradiated. These things are not safe and they are destroying our health. We used to be afraid of the higher SAR ratings that cell phones had when they were first coming out but now they have been deemed "safe" and in doing so people give them to their little children, and keep them in their pockets, and hold them directly against their heads unaware of the dangers of radio frequencies and in doing so are creating tremendous health consequences. Oh my goodness, I almost forgot to tell you that my sister Jennifer, has had a brain tumor that she had to have operated on that grew as a result of her having her phone against her head all the time for years and that was before they became as powerful as they are currently. I hope you are able to bring more awareness and reform to this issue and bring more safety to others so that we don't end up sterilizing our next generations. And for people like myself so we can be out in public more without ending up in pain.

I am a medical doctor, mother and health advocate, who is personally mal-effected by the wireless EMR. Two years ago, our city's Jazz Fest made it a wireless festival for every transaction for the first time. The fairgrounds of the festival are surrounded by adjacent cell towers near attendees and musical acts. Furthermore, the majority of the crowd had on wireless devices for purchases, tickets, recordings, and connecting. After two days of attending, I could no longer remember simple words. I had not consumed drugs or alcohol. Upon returning to our wired home, I could not quiet my nervous system. Although normally very coordinated, I flipped over the dog in the middle of the night and suffered a large head injury. In the roughly 35 previous years of attending this festival, afterwards I felt fine and healthy. Until the Jazz Fest protects its participators and musicians, I will not return. // We seek places to stay allowing unplugging of all wireless technology, so we can sleep. (The wireless devices stimulate the pineal gland and one cannot go into good circadian rhythms.) // Traveling in recently made vehicles and planes makes me have gastric and neurologic symptoms. A recent trip days ago, revealed extremely elevated readings of 2.1 million milliwatts / m 2 on the plane and 3.4 million milliwatts / m 2 at the terminal. (Normal or safe inside readings should be <10 milliwatts / m 2.) // Our city's downtown has a 5 G tower of every few blocks. Recently, a reading of 80,000 milliwatts / m 2 was what I measured across the street from a typical tower. I used to enjoy exploring our city's historical districts. Now, my paths are limited by the presences of towers, which again cause me gastric and neurologic issues. // My husband and I have noticed that when traveling through cities with an elevated highway through downtown with the extreme amount of towers, we are frequently very irritable. Again, we have changed our itinerary to avoid the cities and feel fine on routes without towers. // HHS needs to protect our country's citizens. As a medical doctor who studies the multiple studies of the breakdown of the blood brain barrier, blocking of the cell's many calcium channels, the interference of proper mitochondrial (the powerhouse of cells) function, unravelling of DNA, cancer, behavioral issues, etc. from the wireless, I recognize the effects and know how to protect myself and my family. Please, examine this industry with total transparency and meticulously, then make changes accordingly.

Aloha, I am definitely affected by EMF's, RF's and wireless radiation. I could always feel the radiation, sometimes more acutely than other times, but in the past it didn't bother me so much. During the pandemic I got very sick with a variety of symptoms like constant fatigue, headaches, body pains, inflammation in all joints etc. When I drove out into the country I felt much better. Back home I felt totally sick again. We lived in a town where there were wireless antennas on top of every high building. Out in the country where we used to live there was one tower with 7 antennas. In town we were surrounded by 49 towers and 256 antennas within a 3mile radius. I didn't know how to protect myself , except unplug every electronic device. There was another problem , we lived in a moldy place. Dr Dietrich Klinghardt from the Sophia Institute explains that EMFs and other radiation will actually change the mold in our bodies and make it more dangerous to our health. I started to experience anaphylaxis for the first time in my life. There was a time period where I went into anaphylaxis every two weeks. I couldn't work anymore, I couldn't function in general anymore. Doctors couldn't help and I thought I would just die soon. During that time I couldn't even pick up my iphone with my hands, the radiation coming from it was too intense. I am better now, we moved back into our old neighborhood in the country. It took everything I had left to get my health back and I am still only may be 60% better. All this harmful technology and doctors who don't know a thing about it is a very bad combination.

My husband, John, suffered a traumatic head injury several years ago. Since then he has suffered adverse reactions to Rf radiation such as migraines, dizziness , the back of his head swelling from prolonged exposure and extreme fatigue/ body aches. Wisconsin Public Service would not allow us to opt out of a smart meter even after we submitted a notarized medical letter from my husband’s medical practitioner. We asked that they take the antenna out of the smart meter to accommodate my husband’s disability. However, they refused stating we had to be on remote shutoff. WPS disconnected our electric 3 years ago. We have been disconnected since. Jennifer Christensen Merrill, WI 54452 Here is a link to the newspaper article about our story. Our story was also covered in The City Pages newspaper. https://www.thewausonian.com/p/the-christensens-are-one-of-12-wps

Hi, I live in Québec in Canada. I can’t stay in Big cities and buildings too long. I live in country now but for 4-5 years daily challenges in contact with wifi radiation and 5 G antenna, and even my cellphone. It’s difficult to find professonnaly and in homes , coffee … confortable environments. I recognize easily wifi presence in a place. it fills the Space and create sudden pain and Big disconfort physically, shift of state (to stress, panic, nervosity, lack of focus, clarity, negative and depressive thoughts, states and emotions. ) I lose totally my balance and need to go in nature, Forest to feel well. I have a Tower in front of my home pretty close si ce 1 year. I am not able to fall sleep in the bedroom. I can’t stay a day long at home.
