ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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!

A parent reports a child's headaches beginning near a smart meter and stopping after replacement with a n…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
We moved into our home in Sandy Springs GA in July 2017. The home was already equipped with a Georgia Power smart meter. Our then-ten-year-old son, who began sleeping in a top bunk in the basement bedroom with his head adjacent the outside wall of the home and approximately 4 feet from the smart meter, immediately began suffering daily headaches. He had no history of headaches up to that point. About once a month after we moved in, they were so severe with accompanying nausea that he would spend the day on the bathroom floor near the toilet in pain- unable to keep pain medicine in his stomach without vomiting. After 2.5 years of this, we received a tip from a friend out of state who had had a similar experience, and we immediately requested Georgia Power restore our "dumb" power meter. We agreed to pay the added monthly fee for manual meter reading. Our son's headaches immediately stopped with no apparent long-term effects although we have never had him scanned or examined to identify any damage or signs of abnormality.

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 very concerned member of the public. I have concerns about wireless radiation for our home and our extended family. I have been on a detox journey of health for 9 years, having experienced cancer personally and being a caregiver for parents as well. Wireless radiation does impact our health and we know so little about the long term impact. Our current physical world and food and environment have all become toxic so that we generally accept disease as "normal" - but it doesn't have to be this way. As we have worked at detoxing our bodies, we limit the time on our phones, store them in another room so that we can have deeper sleep. It is noticeable when we don't - brain fog, for one. I believe this topic of wireless radiation needs to be independently assessed with the perspective of maximizing the health of our population, not to harm. If the agenda is anything else, we will be treated as consumers of whatever products that are designed to manage our symptoms, instead of end them. 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.

Objects to utility smart-meter installation and opt-out costs. Raises concerns about nearby towers, child…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
As a mother and grandmother I am highly concerned about radiation's exposure. I have been harassed but two utility company’s trying to put smart meters on my house. I was over charged by them and more. We have to pay extra fees. I saw a burned down house in KY that two people died and looked like started by a smart meter. 5G towers are everywhere and close to schools and homes. I know people harmed by them. Most parents have Apple Watches on next to baby’s heads. I am around children and I can tell you they don’t sleep as well and likely sicker. It has to stop. All the smart technology is bad for us. We have to pay for things that might protect us. It’s a scam and harming us! Sitting around a fire pit is very healing, you can cook on it and it keeps you warm. The WiFi radiation is causing mold issues and killing the trees and plants.

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'm an Electrical Engineer that concentrated studies in the field of RF and Optical. It's very easy to see the potential dangers of radiated emissions when you look at a graph of absorbtion across frequency. It shows that water or matter that consists of water, like the human body, are very effective at absorbing radiation. That's why microwave ovens work so well. They don't work well on dry foods but work most effectively on wet or fat filled foods. The human body is high in water and fat. The brain is also very high in both. I've always cringed at the thought of holding a cell phone up to one's head. I've observed a large increase in health issues including cancers in people over the last two decades. It started out with pagers and two way radios that people would wear on their belt for convenience. I saw many friends die from cancer in the gut directly behind where they clipped their pagers and 2 way radios. As technology progressed the cell phones added cancers where people stored and operated their phones. I urge anyone I know not to use of store their phone in close proximity to their body. An example is light... Light is great but you don't put a light bulb up to your face. You get close to fire and it destroys your cells. Both examples are easy to understand. Now shift up the frequency spectrum a bit and just because you can't see the energy doesn't mean it isn't there. Cell phones need to communicate with cell towers that are up to two miles away. Imagine a light bulb or fire that is bright enough to shine two miles. Ok, would you ever consider putting that fire or light bulb right against your head or any part of your body? Clearly not so why would you allow that with a cell phone. Instead, imagine how quickly the heat drops down from the fire or light bulb when you pull back a bit. It doesn't take to much distance to reduce the energy to a manageable level. Arms length seems to do it. As a minimum use your speaker phone and significantly reduce the energy radiated into your critical body parts. Apply the same reasoning to your home router and other radiating devices. Keep your distance as much as possible. Yes it doesn't eliminate the issue but it certainly reduces the impact a LOT. When I explain this to people they don't need to be technical experts to understand... they typically get it and instantly change their habits. The realities of this should be communicated out to everyone and done sooner than later. I don't need a detailed study, it's common sense. Look at the composition of the cells in your human body and look at the radiated absorbtion spectrum graph and put two and two together. Everyone understands the idea of a microwave oven. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation and promoting communicating this out to the public. 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.

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 parent who is deeply concerned with the amount of radiation our children are growing up surrounded by in their hands and laps, on their heads, in and around homes, schools and neighborhoods. My children are exposed to household and school wireless radiation EVERYWHERE between household internet, solar panels, wifi connected kitchen products, bluetooth everything. With ever increasing demand for a wireless yet always connected society, I believe this is a health topic that is both inconvenient to study and needs to be thoroughly studied. We cannot let this generation of always connected youth grow into adulthood without the understanding of health consequences. I’d like to fight for them while we can reverse course on any safety signals. 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. Sincerely, Jennifer Landgraf, parent

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. I have personally felt the effects and am concerned about the impact such radiation is having on everyone, especially the children. It is very concerning to see the towers right next to schools, playgrounds, and homes when we don't understand the long term effects of such exposure. 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!
