Hello, and thank you for taking an interest in EMF sensitivities.
I have experienced a very strong reaction to cell phone radiation signals. I used to live in a high rise apartment in a city center. I have long been sensitive to chemicals and air pollution, but had never experienced EMF sensitivities prior to this experience. On the roof of the next high rise apartment building, approximately 150 meters away from ours, a small forest of cell phone signal transmitters was installed. Our apartment was a corner unit, with the kitchen facing this building; the living room facing in a different direction. After the transmitters were installed, I was cooking in the kitchen when I suddenly felt so weak I could not stand up. I turned off the stove and went into the living room to rest. I felt better there, so I returned to the kitchen. As I walked into the kitchen my heart began to POUND, like it was demanding to escape from my chest. I went back into the living room and it stopped. I returned to the kitchen and it started to POUND once again. I could not go into the kitchen without my heart going crazy, but I was fine in the living room. I hired a building biologist to test our apartment, and he found EXTREMELY high levels of EMFs and made some recommendations for remediation. We immediately installed Swiss Shield silver threaded covers along all the outside walls of our apartment, turned off all wifi, and kept cell phones on the windowsills outside the Swiss Shield curtains. I have never again experienced any heart troubles and I have never (before or since) been diagnosed with any heart problems. My experiences demonstrated a very clear and reproduceable effect - a true scientific experiment, as it were. I also looked up the cell signal regulations, and found that these signal towers are placed on top of buildings because it is assumed that this would be safe because the signals at street level are much lower - but there is no regulation requiring these transmitters to be distanced from other buildings, including apartments, offices, etc. A few months after this event, I moved out of the city to a semi-rural area where there are very weak signals (and we do not use WIFI or cellphones), less air pollution, and generally a much healthier physical environment, and my health has significantly improved. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the cell phone signals were the cause of my serious heart irregularities. I will attach photos of this cell signal system. I will also attach copies of the signal strength assessment which was done in this apartment, and the recommended international electromagnetic field exposure guidelines. As can be seen on these guidelines, signal strengths greater than 1000 are considered "extreme" and in my kitchen (the lower left room in the mapping illustration) the signal strength (before the Swiss Shield was installed) reached as high as 12,000, which was then (with the Swiss Shield) lowered to 820 - still high, but obviously much less extreme. I am not the only person affected by these and, in fact, I know several other individuals. Unfortunately, most individuals never learn what is the cause of their illnesses because doctors are not taught about this, and governments do not adequately regulate these. THESE INVISIBLE SIGNALS MUST BE BETTER REGULATED. Thank you for your help with this problem.
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 aN individual. I already have atrial fibrillation which can be caused or exacerbated by EMFs. Unleashing the industry to put up 5 and 6 G repeaters every block will very negatively impact my health. Standards are badly out of date and need to be brought up to the real world and regulated accordingly.
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 chose to write as wireless radiation has been affecting me since a SMART meter was attached to my house in 2015 without my explicit consent. We mitigated the best we could after I began suffering from severe headaches and heart palpitations. Both prevented me from getting restorative and rejuvenating sleep. In addition, I began noticing similar symptoms when using my cell phone and when using Wifi. The symptoms only got worse with the introduction of 5G. Again, we have done the best to mitigate and rely on Ethernet cables over using Wifi at home. It is now so bad that I wear protective clothing which doesn't seem to do much. I limit my time on the computer and rely on my landline phone when at home. It is proving difficult for me to fully enjoy my life without fear of being bombarded when out in public, eating at a restaurant, going to a movie theater, taking the bus, flying in a plane. I often feel trapped in my house.

Wi fi has ruined my life, primarily by causing afib and insomnia. My internist did every test in the book to find cause over 10 years, and could not find cause (i had many CTs and tons of blood tests) but one day we had a storm which shut down the local grid for 3 days. ALL MY SYMPTOMS DISAPPEARED. I connected the dots and did away with all smart devices and all wi fi, and am cured after 15 yesrs! But I have to live as a hermit in a basement to shield from cell tower radiation . Also I have to avoid crowds of people with smartphones on, or I will develop sever heart issues. I cannot go to church; I cannot go out to eat. I cannot fly. I developed severe tachycardia at my Aunt's funeral (from the phones) My internist confirmed the cause. I nearly died from wi fi and smart meter radiation. Note: I am Harvard educated in science and have taught science at the university level. I studied in Britain on a Marshall scholarship and taught at a university there. I was admitted to Harvard on a full fellowship. I had no symptoms prior to the introduction of radio frequency radiation. I suggest the establishment of radio frequency free zones for persons like me; we are hundreds of thousands in the US alone and millions worldwide.
I am responding to the HHS inquiry about non native emf exposure which is a major health concern. I am a doctor who had to give up a beautiful new office, and end my practice in medicine due to high Electro Magnetic exposure. An Intel company (century link) installed a residential hub next to my office. My walls were hot, vibrating, patients were dizzy, I suffered severe headaches, vomiting and dizziness until i collapsed. I thought I had a heart attack but apparently it was a racing heart that caused a spasm in my cardiac tissue. The pain surrounding my chest was sore to the touch. Being a doctor I stared to put things together. We had the office tested for electro magnetic stress and the meters screamed ! Every meter got maxed out. So I made the decision to leave my newly renovated office, of course not easy. I was harassed by the rental company, but when something like thins happen you don’t care. It was my life or an office. I choose my life. I was laughed at by the rental company, I was mocked by colleagues, but again I didn’t care, my life and the health of my patients was more important. I had to pay fees and forfeit my deposits, leave behind all my updates and even though I begged them not to rent the place again, they did! With no regard to my findings. These hubs should not be within 1000 feet of another business but in my case this residential hub with hundreds and hundreds of modems was just a Sheetrock away. Since this event I practiced from my home and eventually decided I wasn’t well enough to practice medicine at all anymore. I sold my home and have devoted all my time to study this new toxin. I choose to get out of the city and move to the mountains. I am healing and I am learning more about what a dangerous toxin non native EMFs are to our health, the planet, plants and animals. Electro magnetic stress can even make candles burn faster meaning something unfavorable has changed in the air.
We have plenty of studies showing how these frequencies kill cells and make our mitochondria sick. We know it raises blood sugar, we know it can cause cancer. Why are we not doing anything about it? Because of who holds the money! There is also plenty of research that we can harmonize these energies, why not use good frequencies that can restore the body, bring peace and calm and even help plants grow! We know how to do this! Why is it not happening! We need to take a look at EMFs from lighting, towers, phones, computers, electronics, baby monitors, electric cars, Starlink, the golden dome ! Hello ! Soon there will be no place on earth to find sanctuary in nature. No corner to the earth left without these chaotic frequencies. Maybe under ground will be the only place left, I think our children are a big target and they suffer the most since their brain have no fully developed. We have so many odd things we see as doctors nowadays, so many toxins we breathe, drink, eat and are injected with. Now we have to worry about a toxin we can’t see, smell or hear. Non native EMFs!
I am writing as a patient who is concerned about the damage. All wireless radiation is doing to my own body on a Cellular level. I have experienced chronic insomnia which has worsened in particular after a smart meter installed on my home several years ago and also after we moved, and we have a Cell tower close to us and now or more reliant on Wi-Fi. I have definitely noticed worsening in my condition such as nights without any sleep, agitation, nervous system, disorientation, migraines, and chest palpitations. I’m also writing as a member of the public who is concerned over the well-being of all humans and in particular are most vulnerable, which would be children and the elderly as far as I know there has not been a long-term studies on human health and wireless radiation, which is increasing faster than studies could even keep up with if there were any valid studies that weren’t run by special interest groups. I urge you to rain and cell towers and smart meters at the very least and educate the public about turning off Wi-Fi in the evenings or whenever possible to use a hardwired system.
I've been having issues with EMR since Longmont CO installed their Nextlight high speed internet in 2016. I was waking from a dead sleep with heart palpitations. I came across a documentary on 5G and wireless radiation, they said turn off your wifi to find out if you have issues and I did, the change was so profound, had the best sleep ever in over 15 years. But my husband didn't want it shut off nightly due to work computer updates at night. So I resorted to harmonizers that did help for many years until they put in their Smart Electrical meters all over our community despite my open opposition to our city council for like 4 years, We did get an opt out option with a hefty fee, but all of my neighbors have gotten them. Now I can hardly raise my kids and am exhausted and not able to function somedays especially the days I have to go to Boulder for errands. My labs with my functional doctor showed my thyroid and all were normal then within a year of the meters it want to Hashimoto's Thyroid disease to being even more pre diabetic. I had an episode where I had to take antibiotics for dental issues and ended up with an insanely itchy all over full body rash that would not go away. I resorted to shutting off the wifi and within 10 minutes the itching stopped and the rash began to fade. I figured it must be my biome out of balance and since my testing showed high levels of mold in my system I figured the mold was running rampant. I currently have a rash on my face from our puppy scratching me that won't heal and has been migrating around my face for two months. I don't want to see a doctor and get antibiotics again. I sadly had to get a new phone and I feel like it is why my face won't heal. There is a definite pattern, if I have to text a bunch when I'm away from my ethernet wired computer my face starts to itch and burn more. We took a drive a few weeks ago and the first day my face felt great, hardly any cell towers where we were driving, the next day it was a raging mess with the towers on alternating sides of the road every few miles. Also on that same stretch hardly any insects on our windshield despite being in a national grassland with shoulders of the road that had not been mowed. I remember when I was a kids roads like that would get your windshield a good coating of bug guts. Another trip driving home from Big Sky MT I got sick from their wireless infrastructure at the resort with their towers at the tops of their chair lifts, I would feel what side of the interstate the cell tower was on based on the sharp pains in my head, I would normally wear a faraday beanie but had given it to my son who was 9 at the time who was suffering massive headache and feeling sick as well. He is also the kid who gets massive headaches and nose bleeds when they do testing at school which is the only time they use computers at his school, a room full of wireless laptops makes my son sick. Talking to the front desk gal my son was one of many kids who fall into this pattern of missing school and getting sick when they do this testing. I've attempted to educate the Directors of the school on this but they refuse and the last one even said there was no science to back my claims. In this day and age you can always find anything to back your beliefs even if they are not true. My husband is mostly in denial it is making me sick and complains whenever I try to buy anything to help myself and refuses to let me hire a building biologist to minimize dirty electricity and reduce my exposure. So I've basically lost all hope of every feeling good unless I get a divorce and since I can't hardly be out in public due to exposure from all the wireless infrastructure and now traffic cameras all over I can't work and leave. I don't know why you supposed leaders keep ignoring us Human Canaries in the EMF mines of society who are telling you it's making us sick. The ones who notice how when they install more wireless tech, the insect populations take a nose dive, like the bee's for example. The ones who physically feel it and suffer almost daily from it. Now I have this insane insomnia too that is not doing me any favors. Whenever there is weather forecasted I can feel the HARP shit that is charing the atmosphere and feel literally microwaved in the morning. Like I was with the next light internet. The things I used to use to help minimize its impact no longer works with each additional layer of Radiation you keep adding to this world. Faraday clothing helps but it's kind of ugly and expensive. You must fund the studies there is enough evidence from people like me to warrant such studies. And in the meantime but a halt to more being installed to avoid the continuation of the mass die off we are seeing of many much smaller species. The damage we are causing to our children needs to stop if we want to continue as a species.
I am a 74-year-old female in excellent health and suffer from EMF/RF hypersensitivity. It started in Spring of 2023 when I upgraded to an iPhone 14. Upon using it, I experienced tachycardia, multiple arrythmias, light headedness, loss of energy and confusion. I stopped using my cell phone and began extensive research into the cause. With the help of a Building Biologist recommended by SafeTechNC.org, I was able to keep myself safely distanced from the wireless radiation from cell phones, routers, blue tooth devices, computers and cell towers.
Meanwhile, I visited two cardiologists; one in Wilmington, NC and one at Duke University Hospital in Durham, NC. Both cardiologists said that my heart is healthy but reacting to outside stimuli. I told them about wireless radiation and my cardiac response to it. They could not confirm wireless radiation as the cause, because they had never heard of such a thing.
So today, after countless attempts to build my resilience to wireless radiation, I continue to be sensitive but not hypersensitive. I am grateful for that.

After smart meters from electricity, gas and water have been installed on the side of our house, cables from Frontier put on the power lines too close to the houses and cell towers put up 2 blocks from our house plus 5 G street lights there is literally buzzing on the street and everywhere you go. I had an expert EMF guy come and measure. Everything is at an extremely unhealthy level. Also, weather modification frequencies and Chemtrails continue daily. We are not able to move but where do u go? This all is many causing health issues:
* Tinnitus
* Heart Palpitations
* Flu like symptoms
* Body aches
* Constant noise makes it hard to relax and puts the neighborhood on edge l, (people fighting) hurting the nervous system.
* It causes insomnia and waking up when the buzzing is turned on.
* It lowers the immune system greatly and disrupts thoughts.
PLEASE DO SOMETHING NOW AND STOP THIS.
Thank you
