Cancer & tumors

Please remove 4G and 5G antennae from public and private spaces. We care for dozens of people who have literally nowhere to live, nowhere to go. These frequencies make them so ill that they cannot function, cannot live in society. They give me arrhythmia and tinnitus and insomnia, but that is nothing to the dastardly effects upon the quality of life of so many of our neighbors and friends. Cancer clusters are endemic around these fields. We cannot afford to lose more good patriotic Americans to biological weaponry. Thank you for taking protective action on the behalf of the People.

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, advocate, and concerned member of the public. It is extremely concerning and a very serious issue for everyone, especially our children who are still developing physically, mentally, and emotionally. It should be a top priority since our children are being exposed everyday and I'm afraid that they will have cancer, brain tumors, memory loss, vision loss, radiation, and a host of other diseases if we don't take a stand and stop this. Children and parents aren't aware of the dangers that technology has on our bodies and minds. I have a child who isn't educated on these issues since she doesn't know the peer medical reviews or doctors who know the causes of these dangerous devices. I would like you to inform the humanity before it is too late. 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.

April 2014, I became very ill. I worked in a hospital and they rolled out electronic charting on a Monday before Easter. The roll out included dozens of wireless computers on wheeled work stations for staff, on every floor of a 10 floor hospital. Tuesday, near the end of the day I noticed a headache starting. Each day, while at work, the headache began with in a couple hours of starting my shift. On Thursday at the end of my shift, the headache was unbearable. I rarely had headaches before in my life. This was a headache that began early in my shift and continued until well into the evening, each day after the wireless device roll out. At the end of the work week, I spent 48 hours in bed with a horrible headache, I was unable to get up, walk a straight line, or eat. I was also nauseated. At the end of the 48 hours, I was well enough to make Easter brunch for about 20 people. After another horrific week of headaches due to work, I took some time off and visited Greenbank WV. Within 48 hours, all my symptoms of difficulty with memory, word finding, movement, and nausea resolved. In fact, after just 10 days in Greenbank, I felt 20 years younger. I never felt that great after a vacation in my life. I spent months being medically tested for several potential causes, all were negative. Eventually I was sent to a specialty Environmental Health Clinic, where I was diagnosed with 'Electrosensitivity'. The medical director explained to me how I can shield myself in the hospital setting in order to be able to continue working. It did help but not enough. The shielding clothing needed to be replaced, because over time it was not sufficiently protecting me to be cognitively able to work. I figured out ways to double layer the clothing for more effectiveness. Sometimes I would notice I was becoming terribly ill before the clothing typically lasted, so I would add another layer of clothing. By the time I decided to retire early, I was wearing 5 layers of shielding material on my body and my head, and replacing it every 8 weeks. I am a nurse practitioner and had the kind of job I would have like to work at until 71 years old. However, there I was at 55, forced to retire for my own health. Disability was never in my vocabulary prior to becoming ill with this form of chronic radiation sickness, called 'electrosensitivity. I can't continue my work as an affiliate assistant professor in the local university's Faculty of Medicine. I can't continue working in any health clinic with wireless devices. I have to be very quick buying groceries etc., because when I am exposed for more than 20 minutes, I can feel sick for weeks after that. I can't travel on public transportation (planes, trains, buses), because they all have wireless routers. I can't even receive health care at a hospital because after 20 minutes, I feel horribly nauseated and have trouble thinking. The hospital has routers on the ceilings every 3-15 feet, and in every patient care room and office. I was once a very social person, who taught many graduate students and post doctoral students. This chronic illness with all the same symptoms of 'acute radiation sickness', has disabled me as a member of modern society. I am most upset at the seemingly unchecked, rampant roll out of wireless features in so many devices. I became ill with just one or two wireless devices and an exposure of 22 years. Many people I have met with electrosensitivity became ill approximately 22 years after their first wireless device exposure. Now people have wireless earphones, wireless watches, wireless utility meters, wireless appliances, cars routers, security cameras, baby monitors; the list is seemingly endless. Most research looks at one device and the amount of exposure from it before it causes cancer in animals. These days, people have an accumulation of multiple wireless devices and no one is measuring that accumulation of radiation before people become horribly sick. There is a threshold of radiation exposure for every person. It may be slightly different for everyone. Eventually, at this rate of exposure for everyone, we will all reach/cross that threshold of exposure, and won't be able to work, think, move properly, and have neuroendocrine disorders, or maybe even develop cancer like some of the laboratory animals did (NTP 2018, Rammazini 2018). The world health organization classified wireless technology as a 2B carcinogen in 2011. I don't want more humans to feel as sick as I do in the modern world. Unfortunately, "FEELING IS BELIEVING". When that threshold is crossed, there is no going back to wellness with wireless devices.

I am submitting this comment in response to HHS's request for information on EMF's and RF. I am responding from a perspective as a healthcare professional, parent, and as a concerned citizen. I am making this comment to HHS to tell how the EMFs and RF have affected me and others. 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. I have been affected by the EMFs on planes. As I had a 4-hour flight, that had a TV screen on the back of every seat on the plane. The EMFs caused me to get very anxious, and nervous, my body had like a tingling though my whole body, and I could not sleep at all. The next flight was a smaller plane which had no TV screens, and I was able to sleep and had no symptoms. This was no coincidence as it happened again on the return flight after having a relaxing vacation. The bigger plane had the screens and same symptoms appeared, and on the smaller plane, it had no TV screens and I had no problems. this affected me for weeks after the plane trip. I also feel this way when I am around Wi-Fi too long. Other friends and family have had the same experience and getting nervous and anxious for days after. This is a disruption to our brain and nervous system for the bad. We must cut down on the power this type of radiation as all radiation has serious health issues, which, can cause brain cancer and tumors, science has already shown this. The agencies must address this and protect the public from this onslaught against our health and sanity

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,and a concerned member of the public. Wireless radiation is affecting my family. Since we were forced (without an option to opt-out) to get a VEPO smart water meter, we have all had strange symptoms ranging from ear ringing, to headaches, increased anxiety, joint pains, digestive issues and one of my children has started getting nose bleeds. PLEASE always have an opt-out option to smart meters IN OUR HOMES! And they should not cost more. I was able to opt-out for electric and gas, but I have to pay $134 and then more fees every month! Also, please have companies like Spectrum make routers that don’t give off such wide signals. Why do I have to see all of my neighbors wifi? The number of cell towers going up in Albany is astounding. We are being bombarded and we need it to stop! I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY RISKS, simply look at PubMed at the thousands of published studies. Really, what are you doing “looking into this?” The results are already here and they are terrible!! How many people do I now know that have cancer in the last year since all of these towers have gone up? Not to mention the mental health issues. While this may not be a direct cause, it is a negative contributor to human health and amplifying all negative health issues. 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. Sincerley, Bridgit

Hello, My name is Gloria Frank. My health was horribly harmed when a Smart Meter was installed on my home in March of 2012. Thankfully, the Smart Meter was removed in 2013, and the analog meter was re-installed due to our PUC (Public Utilities Commission) who voted we could choose to have the Smart meter removed. I am a 30 year researcher on all topics regarding health and wellness. When I became harmed, I researched all the prominent websites that were honest and informative on the facts of just how harmful wireless radiation is to the human body, to animals and to the whole world. In 2014 I became and educator, teacher and mentor in which I assist people who were suffering like I was from wireless radiation. In 2013, I hired a Professional EMR (Electro Magnetic Radiation) consultant to teach me how to remove all the wireless radiation from my home, how to shield my home with a shielding paint so my neighbors wireless devices would not harm my health even more.... and my analog meter was re-installed for a very small fee. I am unable to be in close proximity to all wireless devices, and no one is allowed to come into my home with any wireless devices: cell phone, blue tooth, watches, computers,iPads.....and the list goes on. Wireless radiation emits radiofrequency (RF) energy, a type of non-ionizing radiation that current major public health agencies categorize as a possible human carcinogen. Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic) based on an increased risk for brain and heart tumors. Reproductive Health: Studies link frequent trouser-pocket storage of active mobile phones to reduced sperm counts, lower motility, and potential DNA damage.Cellular Stress: Laboratory findings suggest RF exposure can induce oxidative stress and minor biochemical adjustments. Vulnerable Groups: Children absorb higher proportional doses of radiation in head and skull bone marrow tissue compared to adults due to thinner skull bones and developing nervous systems. Effects on Animals and Wildlife Laboratory Studies: Recent systematic reviews backed by health organizations indicate high certainty that long-term, high-intensity wireless RF radiation links to specific tumor types in animals and humans. There is an active community of advocacy groups, specific research institutes, and independent scientists who argue that current exposure guidelines are outdated and that low-level, non-thermal wireless radiation poses biological and environmental risks. The most prominent groups, research entities, and individuals associated with this viewpoint include: Recognized Advocacy & Research GroupsThe Environmental Health Trust (EHT): Led for years by epidemiologist Dr. Devra Davis, Environmental Health Trust publishes literature and campaigns for stricter public policy regarding wireless infrastructure, 5G, and cell phone radiation. They successfully sued the FCC to force a review of its 1996 testing guidelines.The Ramazzini Institute: A respected independent scientific organization based in Italy. Their large-scale animal studies looked at environmental levels of radiofrequency radiation (similar to cell tower emissions) and reported a potential link to certain types of tumors, replicating some findings of the U.S. government's National Toxicology Program (NTP) study.The BioInitiative Working Group: An international collaboration of scientists and public health professionals that published the BioInitiative Report. The report argues that existing safety limits are thousands of times too high to protect against non-thermal biological effects. Navigation and Behavior: Environmental studies report that low-level electromagnetic fields can disrupt the magnetic compass orientation used by migratory bird species.Insects and Ecosystems: Higher frequency bands (including 5G and broadband spectrums) overlap with frequencies that can act as environmental stressors on small insects, causing motor disturbances or behavioral changes. The most important fact is human health globally is being compromised and millions of people are suffering from exposure to Wireless Radiation. ' Thank you, Gloria Frank * Safe technology Educator

Around twelve years ago I had a cell phone that I kept for emergencies still preferring wired technologies. My wired service went down and I used my cell phone for around an hour long conversation with a friend. Later that evening, I felt a gland in my neck, underneath my jaw on the right side, swell up and become painful. The next morning I was quite sick with a sore throat and other symptoms that lasted around a week. I had no doubt that the phone was responsible. I had also noticed a slightly painful and tingling sensation running from my right hand and up my forearm whenever I held the cell phone while using it. I've since completely avoided using cell phones but I no longer can. Recently, in Boise, Idaho where I live, CenturyLink has joined with Qwest and is discontinuing all wired telephone services. CELL PHONES THE CAUSE OF BELL'S PALSY PERHAPS? Following this injury I began to research the possibilities of harm due to cell phones being held against the body. A researcher in Norway had published a book (I can't recall the title or author) with each chapter consisting of reports of individuals who experienced physical harm due to cell phone use. I read a sample chapter online that described where a man was experiencing numbness and paralysis on the right side of his face next to his mouth. Over time the numbness began to spread along his cheek, down his throat and eventually down the right side of his body. The doctors who saw him were at a loss as to the cause. Eventually, he decided that his cell phone might be the cause and quit using it. It was and fortunately his condition then reversed itself and he healed. After this he never allowed wireless technologies in his car or home. Coincidentally, just after reading that chapter, I met a physician friend and a friend of his at a wine bar near where I lived. The two of them began talking about a health problem the doctor's friend was experiencing -- the very condition I had just read about. Only his facial numbness was just spreading from the right side of his mouth across his check and not down the right side of his body yet. He told the doctor, my friend, who had recommended the neurologist he was seeing, that the neurologist was considering putting him on antiseizure medications. I interrupted and asked him if he was a heavy cell phone user. He said yes. I asked him if he held the phone on the right side of his face. His eyes got very big as he considered that this was the cause of his facial numbness. I then told him what I had just read. I do not know the outcome having not spoken with him after that. Also, among many other sources, I read "Cellular Telephone Russian Roulette" by Robert C. Kane, a PhD electrical engineer, who developed the technology for Motorola Corporation. He was convinced of its safety and volunteered to be a user prior to mass production and marketing of the product to test its safety. He developed brain tumors and had no doubt that the cell phone was the cause of his tumors. Prior to his death due to the tumors, he heroically did everything he could to warn of the dangers and was entirely ignored, and worse, by the industry and regulatory agencies. For the industry and regulatory agencies to claim there was no valid research and findings (several reported of in Kane's book) of harm due to usage quite upsets me. For example; the book reported that rats demonstrated Alzheimer's disease symptoms in a laboratory environment when exposed to RF radiation comparable to typical human cell phone usage and exposure.

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 mother and grandmother. I attend Weston A. Price meetings where doctors show studies outlining the adverse health effects to our constant exposure to EMF's. Also, in my cancer support group, we have practitioners talk about ways to cut back on our exposure. 5G has never been thoroughly tested and Israel, New Zealand and Australia are some of the countries that restrict how close cell towers are to schools. If the information provided with the purchase of a cell phone releases them from any liability, that says a lot.

The affects of EMF/RF Radiation has ruined not only my permanently injured my health but has also robbed my home from me! Five years ago, I purchased my dream home in Rockwall, Texas, which is loaded with towers and began feeling sick within weeks after purchasing it! Dizziness, major, heart, palpitations, headaches! I began to lose my eyesight and developed severe hip and lower back pain. My naturopathic Doctor Who owns the Health food store here asked where my smart meter was and much to my horror. It was on the other side of the wall from my head where I was sleeping. It just about gave me endometrial cancer!!! Two years later they moved up to 5G and blasted us and I lost that house and haven’t been able to pack it up because every time I go back there it makes me sick. I’ve had two realtors quit because they get sick being on that corner and around that part of the neighborhood.. as it turns out that Location is within 1 mile from up to 70 cell towers and antennas! Everyone talks about how they feel sick in our town. It’s beyond terrible and on top of that I feel a detachment from my life and deep depression that I’ve never felt before until they blasted us with 5G!!! Every day at 5 o’clock many of us have heart, palpitations, headaches, a feeling of haziness and blurred vision! Imagine what this will do to us long-term! I am now having hormone problems connected to breast health that I’ve never had before. This is causing my health to fail for sure, and it has ruined the quality of my life! Thank you so much for launching this investigation!!! Please stop these terrible towers or we are in trouble! Cellular radiation has absolutely ruined my life! I have never been sensitive to it until they moved up to 5G and started placing all of these towers everywhere and now I’m just dealing with a depression from it all because it just seems hopeless at this point! Because of the level of radiation that we are dealing with here, I am not able to live in my beautiful home and have to power through the health symptoms while I’m there packing it up! Needless to say it’s taking us forever to do so!!
