A massage practitioner describes self-reported electrosensitivity, repeated moves and difficulty finding …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am a health practitioner, I'm a massage and bodywork therapist in practice for over 20 years, I am a Mother. I am also a Nationally Certifed Massage Therapy Educator. I am 52 yrs. old. I am sending you a copy of my doctors note saying I need to avoid wifi. I do not use a cellphone. Review RFs as well as the EMFs. You already know this but we all have a WIFI DRONE ISSUE. All the neighbors are encroaching on our property, & military flying thermal radiation drones & pressing them in my windows each night playing war games and harrassing us on my 16 acres, encroaching my property, I moved 5 times, I sold my first home because of this and rented 4 homes which all had the same thing happening. You need to change the law so everything has identification, ids, we need identifications on drones no matter how small or big, and mandated laws and standards enforced. I am an EHS Refugee & moved out of 3 homes last year to escape a radiation smartmeter in CT that was forced in my home, and I had to move to a state where only opt out meters are enforced. I had to move back to North Carolina. Wifi radiation is inconvenient and encroaching on our personal space and property giving our bodies symptoms. I am trying to find a home to settle down in but I need to be miles away from celltowers and I am having a hard time avoiding the celltowers that are on the map close to each property and they should minimize celltowers. I should not be forced to use a cellphone, smartphone for using any social media or website, buying food, or work, or anything, freedom of choice. I took photos of my cat getting cancer from the RFs, the radiation from a smartmeter, she had a wound but when we moved away from the smartmeter radiation, her wound got smaller.Our lives have changed since wifi radiation over powered our lives. where we are EHS Refugees where we have to avoid wifi radiation. I have a husband and friends and massage clients who are okay with not bringing wifi in to my home, they have to keep their wifi away from me when near me. We avoid places with celltowers on the buildings or near the buildings. We avoid using LED lights at home, only use incandescent because we get headaches & symptoms. LED lights cause blindness in rats, & people, bring back quality incandescent lights, give us healthy options, not healthy for the environment, healthy for our system, our bodies first before environment. RFs, & EMFs cause symptoms of insomnia, rage, mass shootings, numbness, nerve issues, tremors, convulsions, reflex issues, inflammation, pain, brain fog, personality disorders, addiction, ADD, disruption of REM & sleep, most of all insomnia & sleep disorders which I believe are the source of all our problems. Tell them to do sleep studies.I am a sleep expert. You need to lower levels of radiation, you need to have standards like Europe and or think about people, plants & animal health. It messes up migration, the bees, it shortens lifespan. They need to have the battery removable so when the cellphone is off it is really off, not on 24-7. They need to make these adjustments to protect our health. They need to focus on "rest" & "sleep" & these basic needs for health & what that really means & how wifi, RF & EMF is interfering with our bodies, our bodies are electric, delicate, sensitive more than they know or care, & it is damaging our cells. It is causing inflammation. It is causing dehydration, & lowering vit. D levels dangerously. I do not use wifi, that is why. We should all have the choice not to use wifi & should not be forced to live next to a cellphone tower. Make an option for non-wifi. Please take away these dangerous toys.Please help us, change standards, make strict limitations, minimize. Get rid of the dangerous wifi toys. For every technology run by wifi radiation, we need an analog, non-wifi version with no radiation offered. Do not replace everything with wifi radiation and think that is "better". We always choose non-digital and dials over digital with radiation. We always choose analog over digital, We choose copper landline over digital phone, do not make this obsolete. We choose dsl over fiber internet because fiber has high amounts of DE-dirty electricity. I am not the only one, there are thousands of us, join our Electric Sensitive Support group facebook page. Most of us are trying to escape the EMFs and RFs and are forced to live in a mobile home and travel around to escape a celltower being built next to us. Safe levels are 1.5 on a Trifield EMF Meter, .1-.3 is safe on an RF meter. Because health is more important. ~sent from an ethernet cabled desktop computer, no wifi.

The commenter reports disabling hypersensitivity attributed to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, invokes biofield and …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
We have to understand about what we are, we are electromagnetic being. We should know about Sabrina Wallace and the connection between clouds and biocensor, bodynetwork and our biofield. We have to know about Arthur Firstenberg and his book: INVISIBILE RAINBOW. We know a lot of scientific as Pr Paul Héroux, expert on radiations. I have an electrohypersensitivity, caused by Wifi and bluetooth essensially, now i am sick and invalid worker. Not funny.

The commenter describes difficulty controlling neighbors' exposure sources in shared housing and requests…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hey There HHS, You requested public comments about “Wireless Radiation,” Wireless Technology and the subcategories that go with it… So my comment is below… I am a private citizen, writing with concern for my health and my communities health. My life would be socially more abundant if the telecom companies, and our entire country, would get rid of all wireless technology. I live in multifamily housing. I have no control over my neighbor’s use of wi-fi or where they place their routers and other remote devices. Friends have refused to visit me b/c the EMF’s(R’s) in my home are so intense they cannot relax. Probably why my sleep is terrible even though my router, cell phone and PC are off. I cannot hold my cell and talk w/o my hand going numb. Also, I’ve met people who become exhausted and/or get migraines from smart meters and/or wi-fi. BTW my old dial-up phone and answering machine, had significantly clearer sound quality than most all cellular, or cordless landline phones. I lived for decades without a cell phone and it wasn’t a problem. Although, I’m not as overtly abused as some people are, and probably I haven’t noticed all the harm wireless technology is doing to me, I’m still annoyed and seriously concerned about our collective mental, emotional and physical health. Therefore, I am asking HHS to broadly and deeply investigate the damage wireless tech is doing to humans, non-human animals including bees, and plants. Thank You

The commenter reports sensitivity after MRI-center work, costly shielding and isolation, and urges FCC co…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I was sensitized to electromagnetic radiation after having an occupational exposure at an MRI center in 2002-2003. Since then I have contacted innumerable government representatives and agencies regarding this issue, the FCC's constant failure to protect us and their increasingly aggressive pursuit of higher and higher levels of RF radiation while in violation of a 2021 federal appellate court ruling to consider approx.11,000 pages of scientific research demonstrating biological NONTHERMAL effects of RF at very low levels, update its pathetic 30-year old THERMAL ONLY "safety guideline" for an adult male exposed to a single emission source for a short time - not the 24/7 bombardment from all directions (including space) that we are currently being exposed to and to perform required NEPA studies (never done) for small cells. I have NO protection under the ADA even though my neurologist of over 30 years has specified in writing that I have become sensitized to RF/EMR, there are medical ICD-10 codes for health effects of EMR, and the Social Security Administration at least recognizes EMR syndrome as an occupational disability (i.e., electrical engineer/technician, etc.). I have spent untold thousands of dollars trying to mitigate EMR in my home (which is now the only relative safe place I can occupy) and consulting medical practitioners about my conditions and options. I no longer have any faith in ANY US government agency. The US has among the worst RF standards in the world. The EPA was going to study the issue and establish a BIOLOGICAL (not thermal-only) standard for RF radiation but was defunded before being able to complete the appropriate research. The fix was in! The FCC became the designated responsible agency. The FCC is now almost if not completely a "subsidiary" of the telecom industry (in the revolving-door placement of industry-to-government personnel) and does NOT represent the best interests of the American people in terms of their health or the health of the environment. The FCC would have my neighbors being paid to put a 5G antenna on their roof with UTTER DISREGARD for the consequences to my health and well being or that of children, the elderly, immune compromised, pregnant, already sick and/or disabled and the environment. The FCC MUST comply with the appellate court order (the court has given them 30 days now after being brought back to court for their previous utter failure lasting since 2021) and perform UNCONFLICTED environmental impact studies outlined in the original court decision. I think we already know why they have stalled and disobeyed the court - they know the studies prove there are harmful health effects of RF radiation at levels so much lower than current exposure levels and the previous single-source thermal emission standard set for an adult male only - and that there are harmful environmental effects (seen all over the world now) - otherwise, why not review (with independent, unconflicted scientists) the scientific studies submitted and perform the required NEPA studies and put the matter to rest? They can't because the studies/reviews will prove the opposite (if performed by unconflicted scientists). The burden of proof should not be put on the sick and already injured! The FCC is derelict in its duty to protect the American people and continues to flagrantly ignore its obligations and responsibilities. However, the FCC should NEVER have been given SOLE authority over this matter - I BLAME CONGRESS FOR THAT as well as the EPA and the FDA for ignoring the NTP 10-year, $25 million study demonstrating CLEAR EVIDENCE OF HEART CANCER-the highest standard, evidence of gliomas (brain cancer), adrenal and other tumors, etc. from NONTHERMAL RF radiation (performed underground to rule out ambient radiation and under strict thermal controls). I am exhausted from this fight and the exponentially (seemingly without limits) increasing exposure to RF radiation. It was determined that I become a total insomniac due to RF exposure from an AT&T modem (in the home office next to my bedroom years ago) in which the wireless antenna (which was set to "off" by AT&T) accidentally reset to "WiFi enable" unbeknownst to me, apparently due to a power surge. My bedroom is now a room with metal roof, metal shutters, mostly silver fabric curtains and a silver fabric canopy so I can sleep, all of which cost me a small fortune (not tax deductible by the way). I exist only on faith in a higher power, as I have lost all faith in the corrupt system in which I find myself including "foxes in all of the hen houses" of the US government. What a pathetic, sorry state of affairs it is. Children are now being exposed to unprecedented levels of RF radiation from before birth! Will anyone protect them?

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hello, Thank you for this opportunity to express my EMF health symptoms and concerns. I am EMF sensitive, it has become difficult to go into stores because there is so much elecrtomagnetic wave energy. The EMF makes me very tired, light headed and unballenced. If I go into a big box store I experiience brain fog and forgetfulness. It didn't used to effect me but I believe it has gotten so much worse in the last few years. It makes my skin itch and makes me tired however I don't sleep well. I would like to replace my household smart meter for an analog meter. I did not have all these issues when at least my house had the analog electric meter. When I go out my cell phone is put on airplane mode or turned off. I turn off the router and WIFI at night, these steps help a little. But the world is now toxic with all the cell towers and transmissions. Please update the studies and laws for EMFs, RF Radiation and Wireless Radiation.

The commenter describes rooftop towers at a workplace, sleep problems and relocation, followed by local a…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
In 2001 the roof of the building where I operated my Vocational School was rented out to AT&T for three 3 G cell towers within feet of where I worked daily. I searched diligently for an alternate location, and was told by my landlord I'd be out on the street in 30 days if I did not sign a 3-5 year lease. The towers went live the last month of my occupancy before I found an alternative location. SB City told me they had no control over the placement of the towers, only their aesthetics. My nervous system was highly impacted- I had a hard time sleeping in the city therafter where RFR was more concentrated. In order to sleep at night, I moved to the mountains of Painted Cave away from the RFR fields. In 2019 when SB City decided to upgrade their Wireless Ordinance, I collaborated with local citizens in forming Safetechnology for Santa Barbara County to educate our local officials in the harms of RFR and how a well writtten ordinance is essential to give the city planners the capacity to deny unneccesary and harmful cell towers from proliferating our neighborhoods. My husband and I invested my own savings to hire the best attorney in the country for this endeavor: Andrew Campanelli and our members met with our City Council regularly and made weekly public comment. We were successful within our City, and but our County has been a much more difficult hurdle. Many years later after many therapies, I am able to sleep in the City of Santa Barbara

The commenter attributes worsening sensitivity and vision loss to nearby meters and antennas, describes l…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Due to Electro-magnetic Sensitivty, I cannot be on the computer long to give the excruciating details but in a nutshell, when "smart" meters started being installed in the town homes just across the fence from where my kids and I lived, the EHS for me spiked intensefly. It was coming through electrical and/or phone (landline) lines. When later we moved to a new place not far from the police station in downtown Berkeley, with its huge cell antenna, it worsened. As 5g infrastructure started to be installed right outside the window, my vision started deteriorating quickly. Then COVID and two of my young adult kids and I all living in a small 1 br. apartment. One working for a school had to be on Zoom in the kitchen while the other had to be doing his college classes via Zoom, and I, a professional Homeoppth, was sitting on Zoom for patientf ollow-ups and I was sitting at our table in the path of the antenna's effects. My retina a macula have been wrecked, and I've lost my ability to make a living has been killed as I now am blind with just a bit of residual viaion but losing more and more over time. My computer is wired but still I cannot be on it for long in a sitting. My life has been dramatically impacted just so ever-greedy people can haev faster internet. It's the faster faster faster society that is causing so much harm. Effects of EHS include the blood sugar issues and blood pressure issues I face. But few doctors understand that all this radiation is causing these abnormalities and want to blame us for what we're facting and when we point out what we do know, we're gaslit. Wireless all around us all the time is killing people (literally). Stop this inhuman march forward at all our expense. Thank you.

The commenter describes symptoms associated with carrying a phone and proximity to a router, perceived im…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am responding to a request for information issued by the HHS on September 17th, 2026, seeking public input on the effects of electromagnetic fields and wireless radiation. My personal story: I used to carry my cell phone in the left rear pocket of my pants. After several months of doing that, my left hip muscles developed some cramping and weakness, for no apparent reason. I tried many therapies to alleviate the issue. None of the treatments worked, and it kept getting worse until I stopped carrying my cell phone in my pants pocket. Later, we got a new router for our home, that was advertised as being faster and had a much stronger signal. My desk was within a few feet of it. Over the course of a couple of weeks working at my desk, I developed chronic headaches, a skin rash, and was eventually bedridden with a severe headache and very low energy. My bed was also near the router. I’m generally very healthy, and I usually heal quickly, but my symptoms kept getting worse. I did some research regarding what the cause of my illness might be, and I tried many things without success, but when I finally turned the router completely off, I was healed and completely back to normal within 24 hours. Later, I had a technician come to our home and move the router to a different location, much farther away from my desk and bed. He said that I was too close to the router and acknowledged that it was unsafe at a close distance. I also notice that when I’m in crowded environments, such as a stadium or concert hall, where there are a lot of people using their cell phones, I will sometimes feel dizzy or lightheaded, and afterward I’ll feel “tired but wired”, where I’ll have unusually low energy, and I just want to go to sleep. But then I won’t fall asleep for several hours, because I feel agitated. My sensitivity to wireless radiation has limited my activities, where I now avoid going to concerts, stadium events, or any large crowds, just so I can maintain my normal vibrant healthy state. I’ve also experimented with staying far away from all wireless devices for an entire day or more, usually out in nature, and I’ll notice that my health and vitality will increase, and then I’ll also get a better night’s sleep. I have two personal friends who have also been negatively impacted by wireless radiation. One of them told me that she lives in an apartment building that is designed for people sensitive to wireless radiation, and they do not allow routers, smart devices, or cell phones within the complex. My other friend sold her home to distance herself from a nearby cell tower. She had developed many health issues just after they installed the tower, and now that she lives in another home father away from cell towers, all of those health issues have been resolved. I also purchased an EMF meter, and I’ve measured radiation levels far above what the meter says is safe, from my cell phone, router, and all “smart” devices. I notice in the instructions of most of the devices, that they warn the user to maintain a certain distance, which is impossible if you want to touch and operate the device. Because of my personal experiences, I now consider wireless radiation to be “the tobacco smoking of this generation”, and one of the most pervasive health threats that I’ve witnessed in my lifetime. In my opinion, we are all being exposed to an invisible toxin, without being fully informed of the dangers. I have no formal studies that I can submit to prove causality, but my direct experiences have repeatedly confirmed my opinion. I request that you please help put an end to this pervasive environmental toxin. I’m very upset and concerned about this issue.

The commenter reports EMR syndrome with severe limitations on travel, family visits and community partici…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I suffer from what has been called EMR-syndrome, electromagnetic radiation syndrome. When I am near anyone using a cellphone or in an area where the WiFi is at a high level, I suffer from dizziness, light-headedness, heart palpitations, feelings of intense anxiety and afterwards, intense exhaustion. For every hour that I am in WiFi, I need at least an hour-long nap, sometimes two. For this reason, I no longer go to church, or to concerts or plays. I do not volunteer in the community or go to the gym. I do not eat in restaurants. I never travel, for airports are the worst (after hospitals). When my husband is in the hospital (five times last year), I can only be with him for 45 minutes at the most. I come home exhausted. I cannot fly to see my children and grandchildren, nor go to the weddings or funerals of family members. I am safe in my home. I hired a building biologist to go through my entire home, looking for high levels of radiation, magnetic fields, and dirty electricity. She gave me explicit, detailed recommendations which I follow "religiously." I live a very secluded life, unable to enjoy the benefits of living in a vibrant community. When I go out into "Wifi-land" (which is virtually everywhere), I have to wear special clothing with silver threads woven through the fabric and hats with silver lining. I pay hundreds of dollars for these pieces of clothing (e.g., $277 just for a tailor-made camisole). I am unable to travel to any foreign country. I do not own a cellphone. I have an ethernet cable for my laptop. I have no microwave. I opted out of smart meters (and pay extra for having done so). I know only one person in the whole world who doesn't own a cellphone (besides my husband).
