Housing, work & access barriers

I've known I was sensitive since a teenager. Walking into a friend's college dormatory made me nauseated and dizzy. That was in the early 70's! Missouri 2017 I went from working online for 12 hours a day, to where all I could do was lie on my back and stare at the ceiling. This was in Columbia MO @250 cell towers or antennas within a 3 mile radius. I moved to Green Bank, WV for the Quiet Zone. Immediately I was able to work 12 hours several days a week at a hotel that did not have wifi, smart meter or cell tower within maybe 15 miles. The new smart meters on gas and electricity can immediately incapacitate me. Thank you for my chance to tell a part of my story. Julia

We asked politely if our electricity co-op would remove the RF electricity meter/device from the side of house, directly opposite the kitchen. As a preventative measure on my part, they came out and removed it. It should be noted that they did this install while we were out-town on an extended big project. Since removal was free I am now subject to $19.00 per month fee for having someone come out once a month to physically read the meter but I totally OK with that fee per month. We did notice any symptoms while it was working but since my wife is already chemically sensitive I erred on the side of caution. Thanking you for taking up this enquiry, on behalf of everyone who may or may not be affected.

Subject: Importance of Electromagnetic Field (EMF) Standards for Sensitive Individuals I am writing to express my concern regarding the widespread deployment of advanced electric meters and the need for stronger consideration of electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure standards, particularly for individuals who report sensitivity to electromagnetic radiation and electrical pollution. As government agencies and utility providers continue to implement newer metering technologies, it is important to ensure that public health considerations remain a priority. While many consumers may not experience noticeable effects from wireless smart meters, a growing number of individuals report symptoms they associate with electromagnetic exposure, including headaches, sleep disruption, fatigue, anxiety, and other quality-of-life concerns. Regardless of ongoing scientific debate, these citizens deserve reasonable accommodation and the ability to choose alternatives that meet their needs. Many residents are requesting access to analog meters or non-transmitting digital meters that do not continuously communicate through radiofrequency signals. In areas where analog meters are no longer available, utilities should consider technologies that minimize emissions and avoid generating "dirty electricity," which refers to high-frequency voltage transients that some experts and consumers believe may affect sensitive individuals. Several utilities in California and other jurisdictions have implemented opt-out programs that allow customers to choose non-wireless meter options. These programs demonstrate that consumer choice can coexist with modern utility operations. Providing alternatives offers a practical and respectful solution for residents who have health concerns while preserving access to utility services. I respectfully urge policymakers and utility regulators to: Review and strengthen EMF safety standards as scientific research evolves. Recognize the concerns of individuals in all areas who report electromagnetic sensitivity. Require utilities to offer reasonable alternatives, including analog meters where feasible. Encourage the use of metering technologies that do not rely on continuous wireless transmissions. Evaluate and address concerns regarding dirty electricity generated by certain electronic meters and grid technologies. Promote transparency by providing clear information about meter emissions and available customer options. Regarding my own situation, turning off wifi at night and mitigating the effects of the smart meter enhanced the quality of life while enjoying a better sleep. There are certain underlying health conditions like autoimmune diseases and cancer, where having less oxidative stress at night helps the body to heal more efficiently. Although citizens who have environmental sensitivities may benefit the most from higher safeguards everyone especially seniors and babies would also benefit making a healthier America. Public policy should balance technological advancement with consumer choice, health concerns, and individual rights. Allowing residents to select lower-emission metering alternatives is a reasonable accommodation that can improve public confidence and help protect vulnerable populations. Thank you for your consideration of this important issue. I appreciate your commitment to protecting public health.

Eight years ago i was a healthy & active 72 y/o male, with a condition called MCS,(multipal chemical sensetivity). we had moved to a country town to avoid chemical exposure, & lived happily & healthy for the next 14 y/s.The town where we lived had little to no mobile phone reception, so the good old telcoes put up a tower on a hill at the end of town, bang, great reception..BUT, i began to suffer with cronic exhaustion, i soon was unable to do anything physical or mental.my exhaustion stole my entire life. BUT, an amazing thing happened that helped me to understand what was happening to me. i went camping in the bush, far away from the effects of RF, & immediatly i began to feel better, & wondered why, On returning home i emmediatly began to become exhausted again & stayed that way, untill i went camping again. the penny droped, the only thing that had changed was a tower was installed in town So i enquired weather this could be affecting me, & through an expert in this feild i was assured it could affect me.I contacted a GP practicing in this field, & it was confermed , i had become a sufferer of RF.WE had to sell up & move to where i could live. i now have to fully dress in RF protection whenever i leave home.I socialise very little because being RF dressed can be very uncomfortable at times. I am now 81 & suffer terribly with my nerves, they are badly damaged by RF. I have reserched this stuff for years, reading books, & have learned that RF effects animals & plants also. At the same time as i became affected i noticed that my vegitable garden was doing unusual things to, plants just stoped growing & would not bear fruit....I was told to shield tham with bird wire & they would grow. They were right, anything not shielded just didnt grow. I have a video of this. Next i noticed 5 different birds hopping around on one leg, strang, i had lived here for16 yrs & never seen anything like this before. These are the effects i have read about in books written by experts in this feild.Thank you for the oppertunity to tell my story, few are interested enough to listen. BILL ZELLER

We moved to a farm under a low mountain tower in 2021. I started to immediately get profuse bloody noses, which I had never had. The high pitch sound was getting bad. I had some kind of spacial disorientation and definitely kept stumbling left as the left side of my head, including my life long deaf ear started getting intense pain. That summer they flipped on the 5g overhead and I became bedridden and a sick stomach was normal. I have eaten healthy for over 3 years, but, had to explore many natural supplements that would help. I thought it was the people who got inoculated during cv-19 at first, because I got sick around people every time so it was easier not to socialize with the volunteers as it was a Church run welfare farm and volunteers were many. Like some others, I couldn’t attend Church as that tower and boosters and all those cell phones were too close. My family has since then moved after spending 5,000 dollars on clothing, shielding tent supplies and grounding mats. Those supplements started helping so I could get out of bed and get my balance back. Some dizzy spells got severe for a time until I started detoxing enough. I lived an isolated life and my husband has now been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. We chose a safer place to move to and I used the internet sparingly now. I actually don’t have internet, just device wifi. I used to be hardwired and that was great, but, I was so saturated, my body would still get ill from the rf from my ipad itself despite the ethernet cable. I couldn’t get too close to my tv despite it being hardwired. Every house should have a hardwired option without the expense of having to pay for it ourselves. I am doing much better since moving and when under that tower, before understanding why I was getting sick, I hiked the under the tower mountain trail twice and both times got sick and weak with one fall from losing balance. I made it to my car and never went back. That is when I knew for sure it was the tower. Please do something! I beg of you! I have family members and friends who lived states away and even some near me who experienced similar symptoms, but, nobody believes our government would allow such atrocities so, they keep going to doctors, spending money and dr’s can’t figure out what is going on.

I am a private US citizen with havana syndrome. I am hit with ultrasound, infrasound and emf as high as 1500. I have reported my symptoms to the dept of state and FBI. I would report to my dr but there is no diagnostic criteria provided as yet for them to validate the condition. I am a senior citizen woman and the attacks are 24 hours a day. A naturopath wrote I had havana syndrome symptoms but can not fill out disability forms for it. I can not work a normal job because of the attacks. The government needs to provide financial assistance to all victims not just government employees and do something to develop protection from attacks. Instead we are ignored and often discredited. It is a disgrace and a gross injustice.

I came down with what is now called EMRS (Electromagnetic Radiation Syndrome, previously called EMS/ Electromagnetic Sensitivity) in 2012. I had a range of symptoms most of which I never had had before, including heart palpitations, chronic fatigue (constantly tired), nerve damage to my hands including loss of grip strength, brain fog and leaky gut. My tongue and throat sometimes felt swollen and prickly. My scalp and body often felt prickly. I felt restless, sleepless, and anxious. I sought medical help to no avail, whether allopathic or alternative practitioners. Finally, two friends said it sounded like I was electrosensitive. I started reading and studying, learning about the issues related to dirty electricity and RF radiation. What I learned led me to understand that the solar system I had installed in 2010 was partially responsible for my condition as were the cordless phones I was using. I got rid of the cordless phones and went to a land line. I installed a whole house electrical filter on my electric panel as well as some individual dirty electricity filters inside the house to clean the dirty electricity. I installed Ethernet throughout my house to avoid Wi-Fi. I started feeling better but since I lived in Los Angeles, there were cell towers and neighbors Wi-Fi so I ended up creating a Faraday cage around my whole house. My health improved immensely, though it was difficult to go anywhere since the levels of RF radiation almost everywhere are too high for sensitive individuals, and unhealthy for all since the FCC limits are outdated and unsafe. Ongoing, my health has continued to be somewhat problematic including developing thyroid problems which I also attribute to EMF. I continue to have pain in my hands and occasionally other symptoms such as difficulty sleeping. It got too difficult for me in LA. I sold my home in LA and bought a home in the rural mountains, in an area that is currently safe, with no cell towers in my vicinity. My greatest fear is that this safety could easily be threatened by the telecom industry putting a cell tower or small cell up near my home. With the present laws giving too much power to the telecom industry, I would have little or no recourse to do anything about it with the current FCC rules. I would like to see regulations changed so that cell towers would be banned from proximity to schools as well as from residential areas. The FCC exposure limits should have been changed after EHT won a law suit against the FCC: https://ehtrust.org/transcript-of-press-conference-following-eht-federal-court-victory-over-fcc-wireless-radiation-safety-limits/ but nothing has changed. There are plenty of international independent studies that prove that RF exposure is dangerous (https://www.americansforresponsibletech.org/scientific-studies) but again nothing has changed. There should be more education about the truth of the danger, including to the medical professions. The telecom industry should be publicly required to admit the danger of cell phone, Wi-Fi and other wireless technology. Additionally, children need to be protected with regulations if necessary.

I am an individual, born and living in The Netherlands. I am affected in every part of my life, for over 10 years now. I face increasing digital discrimination and exemption. At the moment I can not work, can not study, social interacting is getting more difficult without a mobile phone. My children can not live with me (not my choice) and live with their dad, I takes the time of a full time job to rebalance myself. I live secluded from society, in the middle of a busy place....no one really seems to care. No doctor wants to or can help. Although this has all been so so difficult and hard: I am very grateful for being EHS-wired. In an unspoiled natural environment the symphony and poetry of life is singing and dancing in and through me. The down side is that in an electromagnetic polluted environment It is like being in a blender.... I hope with my whole heart EHS will be recognized soon, so all sensitive animals, trees, plants, insects and humans can be restored in the delicate balance of our planets eco-system. Thank you for reading

I no longer have a life anymore because I can't go out where there are cell towers and activity with enhaced 4G/5G frequencies. I have to wear EMF blocking clothing and shungite just to go into town for normal things like going to the store, and even then I can only be around that amount of EMFs for a few hours. If I'm in it too long I start to have nosebleeds and I also feel a flu-like sickness that goes away after a day from staying out of heavy cell tower areas. Everything I have found online with my symptoms points to microwave sickness, the exact same type that people who say they are hypersensitive to EMFs suffer from. I no longer can work a normal job. My health has been and still is negatively affected by this. The more they add to the cell towers around me, the worse it gets. I have lost friends and everyone thinks I'm crazy because I have been very out spoken about this. 6G is coming soon which means even more EMFs will be added on top of what I'm already suffering from. I have no real future and if I can't secure a reliable source of income I'm looking at being homeless sometime in the future.

I am electrohypersensitive since I had an accident at the dentist with "Paraformaldehyde" in 2008. I swallowed it and got it in the bone. My health got worse and worse over the years. At first, I got red when i was sitting in front of the PC. Didn´t know that it was electrohypersensitivity, because I had never heard about that illness. In 2017 when it was the worst, I couldn´t go to work for years and couldn´t enter my flat anymore. I was disabeld and had to live in the car in the winter although I have a good salary. I felt every smartphone and couldn´t no longer be in the wireless lan. I felt it burn on my skin and got problems with the heart when I came in the near of a wlan router, I had bad headache, insomnia and cognitive problems with foming a sentence. Couldn´t find the words easily. Finally, I became aware that it has something to do with toxins, that had damaged my cell and nerve system. I found a rare doctor who had experience with that and started to get rid of toxines and heavy metals in my body. I have had almost 100 infusions with Dimercaptopropanesulfonic acid (DMPS) up to now. My body couldn´t get rid of these toxines without that DMPS. Then, it got slowly better. After two years I could got to work again. I had to spend lots of my money for the treatment. I live in a house now, but in a flat, I would not be able to live, because of the neighbours wlan. In the case of having an accident and go to hospital, I am not sure if I will survive it. I hope, I can help you with my experience. There are more people in Germany who suffer from EHS but our government constantly ignores us people. We have any Civil Rights. Thanks very much for your intitiative. This is great of you, but the government must consider that few people can relate between the exposure of emf and their suffering. (Aggressive Intoxications like mine are seldom.) The new generations of smartphones, for example the i-pone has radiation, even if you switch it off. Because we have radiation from everywhere at any time, it is nearly impossible to find out that it is radiation, that damages your health. Most people think that the symptoms they have, for example insomia which is widespread in Germany, result from other things. They have no idea that i might be the wlan. Sincce I use an emf canopy, I have no longer problems with sleeping. I suffered from insomnia for ten years. Thank you very much, if you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
