Reports disabling electromagnetic sensitivity, homelessness and a shielded tiny-home solution. Attributes…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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.

Raises cancer and environmental concerns, distrusts regulators and requests safer technology for people, …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Good morning, I never hold my phone to my ear, I don’t want brain cancer. There are hidden things about RF and EMF that are detrimental to our health and for sure I don’t trust the regulators, they are bought with lots of money to keep the bad behind closed doors. How about telling us the truth and find safety mechanisms for us and our children, animals and our land. Not all inventions are brilliant. I will not buy an electric car for health and environmental reasons. Please make it all safe for all of us. I don’t even use a microwave. I suppose I read too many good articles to be aware of the bad out there. Please fix it for humans, animals and our earth! Thank you Marlies

Reports family concerns about television and school radiation, including grandchildren’s headaches; alleg…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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 and my family have been affected by radiation coming from televisions in our home. My grandchildren respond with headaches from all the radiation in their schools. There is a tendency for more illness because studies have shown that radiation causes illness. I believe that confusion and forgetfulness is part of an over bombardment of radiation waves and electromagnetic pulses because that two has been proven with experimentation and documented. HHS already knows this and is not done a thing about it. The public is becoming very much awake and the public has been educated now to the adverse and deadly effects of radiation and electromagnetic pulses. This needs to stop or we will all die from Exposure. Especially with AI data centers. All big corporations and elites are interested in as money while they kill themselves and the rest of the population for greed. Stop this progression of technology or it will stop humanity.

Reports a spouse’s symptoms following a head injury, refusal of a requested smart-meter accommodation and…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am concerned about the large tower located off Friendship Rd. (approximately 4400 block) in Elmore County AL. Zip code will be 36078. I have epilepsy and wonder if the EMF, RF and wireless exposure contributes to my seizures or other negative health issues to anyone nearby the tower. The tower is approximately 1/2 mile from my house and is visible from my yard. Thank you, Sonia Taylor

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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 concerned member of the public. 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 MUST TURN 5G OFF MY ROUTER AS IT AFFECTS MY BRAIN. IVE HAD A SEVERE BRAIN INJURY AND THE PAIN IS INCREDIBLE SOMETIMES WHEN YALL CRANK UP YOUR FREQUENCIES. IT NEEDS TO STOP. THERE IS NO REASON WE NEED ANYTHING MORE THAN 4G. HISTORY PROVES THE HIGHER FREQUENCIES CAUSE MORE DAMAGE. LAST TIME YALL RAISED IT THERE WAS A PANDEMIC IN THE EARLY 1900S. WE DO NOT NEED IT CRANKED UP EVER AGAIN.

Alleges covert government experimentation and directed-energy attacks on a family, invokes MKUltra and re…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Dear Secretary Kennedy Please, launch investigation into NJ Bio-labs, MKUltra that is happening in New Jersey for about 10y, mostly on little children! My name is Svitlana Dobryanska, my family with two minor sons lives in Helmetta, New Jersey. My family is among many other families that are involuntarily involved in the secret inhumane experiments conducted by some federal agencies. DEW devices - drones size of baseball, covered with material that makes them invisible, light goes through it, are used on my family for about 10 years.There is an Official case on my family in US Federal agency. This all started in Perth Amboy ,NJ in 2015. Couple families with small children, including us , were unknowingly involuntarily involved (and still) in this experiment. The Gov agency installed/used in the houses/apartments a hidden equipment that is shooting high frequency RF, neighbor is spraying toxic gas into vent system, someone sneaking into houses at night and injecting children with some substance into legs right in their beds - all organized and conducted by Gov agencies. Some children didn’t survive!!! In 2021 a Whistleblower, a high ranking official - an Honest Person, who knows my family personally, discovered and reported “the program” - Crime against my children, but no agency started investigation. Our community management and Jamesburg PD refuse to check our neighbor upstairs, that apartment is under FB protection! The neighbor is spraying toxic gas into our vent system. My air quality monitor goes off almost every night around 10pm. Someone supplying our neighbor with the gas/substance that he is spraying into our vent system, someone pays him to do that. Please get involved and help Stop this ! Please, contact me! Sincerely, Mom Svitlana Dobryanska 732-347-5601

Describes chronic illness following COVID and perceived improvement after reducing wireless exposure. Exp…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am very grateful that HHS is giving Americans an opportunity to share our personal experiences and concerns about RF radiation and electromagnetic fields. I appreciate the willingness to listen to the public and investigate questions that may have been overlooked or insufficiently studied. I am 29 years old, and until the past few years, I had always been an exceptionally healthy, active person. I have been athletic my entire life and loved exercising, being outdoors, traveling, and challenging my body. I have also always eaten a very clean, healthy diet and have been extremely proactive about taking care of myself. I was able to live a very active and full life. I was not someone who had a history of chronic illness. That is why the change in my health has been so shocking. After I had COVID, my health changed dramatically. It felt as though my Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which had previously been dormant, suddenly "turned on." I was diagnosed with EBV a little over two years ago, and since then I have experienced debilitating chronic fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, significant neck and body pain, and what I can only describe as a constantly frazzled nervous system. I went from being a very healthy and athletic young woman to struggling to work normal hours and participate in many of the things that once made me feel like myself. I do not claim that COVID caused my EBV to reactivate or that EMF caused my illness. I understand that my experience does not establish causation. However, I believe the dramatic change in someone who was previously so healthy deserves to be investigated, especially when multiple environmental factors may be involved. One thing I have personally noticed is that I seem to be sensitive to electromagnetic and wireless exposure. I have experimented with reducing my exposure in my home, and the difference has been significant enough that I feel compelled to share it. At night, I use a kill switch to turn off wireless and Bluetooth devices, including my Alexa and television. I use wired headphones instead of Bluetooth whenever possible, and I use a Faraday box over my smart meter. When I significantly reduce my wireless exposure, particularly at night, I feel noticeably better. My nervous system feels less overwhelmed and my body seems able to settle down more easily. I realize this is only my personal experience and that there may be other explanations. But I believe experiences like mine should be studied rather than dismissed. I would like to see more research into whether some people may be more sensitive to RF/EMF exposure than others, whether people with chronic illnesses may respond differently, and whether long-term, cumulative, real-world exposure is adequately represented in current research. While we are looking at environmental factors that may affect our health, I also hope we can investigate the bigger picture: highly processed foods, pesticide exposure and glyphosate, PFAS and other "forever chemicals," plastics, and the cumulative effect of being exposed to so many substances throughout our lives. I have always eaten very cleanly and taken care of my body, yet I am still exposed to environmental chemicals that are difficult or impossible to avoid. I would like to better understand what levels of these substances are actually accumulating in our bodies and what long-term, low-level exposure may mean for human health. I also hope there is continued independent research into microwave ovens, including both the radiation they emit and potential effects of prolonged proximity while they are operating. I understand that properly functioning microwave ovens are currently considered safe when they meet federal standards, but I believe it is reasonable to continue studying these questions rather than assuming everything has already been answered. I hope researchers look at cumulative exposure rather than studying every environmental factor completely in isolation. We are surrounded by wireless technology, pesticides, plastics, PFAS, food additives, and many other environmental substances daily. We need to understand what years of combined exposure may mean for human health, particularly for people who develop complex chronic illnesses. I am not asking for predetermined conclusions. I am asking for these questions to be taken seriously and investigated with rigorous, independent research. I am grateful that HHS is creating a place for people like me to share what we have experienced. The past two years have been incredibly difficult. I know what it feels like to have a healthy, active body, and I desperately want to get back to that life—to exercise, work, travel, have a family, and feel like myself again. I hope listening to patients and investigating these environmental questions can lead to better research, greater transparency, and a healthier future for all of us and the generations that come after us.

Urges action by FCC and HHS on exposure protections and court orders, raising cancer, vulnerable-populati…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Please, make the FCC take on the health challenges that are before us. We've already experienced many deaths and illnesses from over exposures to wireless radiation. Our children and our futures are at stake. If the FCC cannot follow court orders than the HHS could take up this cause. We are sitting in massive amounts of RF radiation due to the grid/satellites/cell infrastructure/cell phones/baby monitors/ wireless health devices/ Wi-fi and many others. The manufacturers are completely out of control and setting more and more dangerous standards. The most vulnerable in our society are in harms way. Our medical system is not addressing this issue and many are suffering without the cause. This will not only destroy our medical system with tremendous amounts predictable cancers. Needlessly I may say. This will be the 'Wireless Holocaust" if not stopped.
