Reports fatigue, cognitive symptoms, pain and mood changes after prolonged wireless exposure, with improv…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Wifi and other EMFs make me feel very sick and if the wifi is on in my car and I drive for more than 2 hours I am sick for days! Once we took the wifi out of our house and stopped using in the car I got better. I can then feel the symptoms when I am on my iPhone too long. My symptoms after each prolonged exposure ( more than a couple hours) are:extreme fatigue, foggy thinking, poor concentration, memory decline, achey muscles, joint stiffness, irritability and even sadness! You need to pay attention to those who are sensitive to EMFs because we are just the first ones showing signs ( like with any other sensitivity).

Describes longstanding sensitivity and worsening well-being after utility installations. Requests investi…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
In Georgia, in almost every city they are putting in underground big pipes which I believe are connected to the data centers. Is there disclosure on true intention on why they are putting in the pipes? I don’t know. I had two occasions earlier in 2026 on my land where men in unmarked trucks came and identified themselves as subcontractors to EMC Cobb (power company) and they installed various structures on my utility poles one time and another time they entered my transformer box outside. I have always been very sensitive to low EMF’s and radio frequencies and have even bought various electronics devices to measure those low waves. I don’t have a device that can measure these new transmissions. After the installations, I called and wrote the power company to come back and take off the structures they had installed on my utility poles. A few days after the utility company made the installations I have felt very strong electromagnetic radio waves being transmitted on my land and in my home. I currently own almost 15 acres of land and the low frequencies are being transmitted every where including my home through the electrical wires. I walk every day up a big hill path to get to my car and after the installations I had trouble walking up that hill. I felt low frequencies wired like transmissions being submitted every where. I eat healthy, exercise and energetically (intuitively) know when something is wrong in the environment. These low frequencies that are being transmitted are designed to create mold and other diseases within our organs and even the nature spirits. Please research and learn about morgellons (self replicating nanobots) because it is being transmitted into our environment intentionally along with many other hidden weapons. Low frequencies create an environment in the body susceptible to diseases and mind control. Humans have natural light and powerful abilities to self heal everything and we have people and forces who are intentionally putting lo low frequencies to create harm to the human species. This has to be brought to the light to be witnessed so that it can be stopped. Thank you for taking the time to listen to truth. Sending lots of love to truth seekers.

An internal-medicine physician describes patients' reports of sensitivity and asks HHS to improve account…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
At first, 30+ years ago, I almost thought "they" were crazy. I was wrong. "they" are NOT crazy! Some folks are VERY, negatively sensitive to ALL of the above-EMF, 5 or 6 G, RF, Wireless Radiation Exposure. In my Internal Medicine practice, many of my patients have on going accounts as to how different forms of radiation affect them negatively. It is my hope you folks at HHS can help with accountability and help with compliance with regulations to protect the population. Thank you for providing a venue for feedback from we who are being affected! Sncerely, Charles C. Adams, MD

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 person, who is sensitive to wireless radiation and electromagnetic radiation (emr). Already sensitive to emr. our utility in British Columbia threatened to turn off our hydro power, if we would not accept a Smart Meter. I said we could not, because both my husband and I had health issues, affected by emr. Our power was turned off. My husband had just put harvested farm produce in a walk-in cooler, so he asked for the power to be turned back on. The utility said only if we accepted a Smart Meter and paid a $750 re-installation fee. We were coerced to have a Radio OFF Smart Meter. Within a week, my husband had a stroke, and a second stroke the following week. I experienced cognitive and memory dysfunction. I couldn't find an area in our house where I could sleep, tried sleeping outside, but it was too cold. It was a horrendous affair. Someone heard about us and recommended a combo of a Sine Tamer and Smart Meter Guards, which, when we finally obtained them, made life bearable, though still challenging. For a month after the emr was somewhat mitigated, I had night sweats. I slept in the living room for four years, because the SM was on the wall outside the bedrooms. BC Hydro later did a software upgrade on the SM without informing us. However, we found the employee installing it. That night, when all was quiet, there was a loud hum in the house. This persisted for the 3 weeks it took to have it uninstalled. Again, i couldn't sleep, and tried sleeping outside, in the car, and in a shed, but that was too uncomfortable, I slept fitfully for the 3 weeks. I continue to avoid public places, find it difficult to do shopping, and have a very limited social life. I couldn't even attend church. I manage to do shopping by wearing a silver threaded hat that makes excursions bearable, but it takes a lot out of me. Where I live now, I stay in the lowest emr corner of a suite, so even that is limiting. It's difficult to find a healthy home where I can live naturally. I believe that some of us, who are ehs, have toxins in our bodies from mercury (amalgams), aluminum, lead, cadmium, barium, arsenic and other toxins, in our food, air and water. Add these stressors to other stresses and to experiences of trauma and abuse, and the body reaches a tipping point where it can no longer tolerate the toxic load. It is not our fault, and we should have a choice of low emr environments to live and work in. If our society really had the health of its citizens foremost in mind, it would provide coverage for counselling support to lessen the burden of stresses. In turn, this would make for a healthier society. I do not have any wireless technology in my living space. Instead, I have a landline telephone, in-the-wall computer, in-the-wall modem, and no cell or cordless phones. I sleep with my head away from the wall and the bed about 2 feet from the wall. Of course, avoiding stress,and having emotional support and a healthy lifestyle are important. 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, trauma, 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.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am electromagnetically sensitive. I bought a monitor to the Swedish standards in the early 80s which I could work on, but when my employer adopted computers in the late 80s there was no shielding. I had to leave. In the early 2000s I wired my house for ethernet cables and used shielded computers, but now there are cell towers encroaching on my house spreading cell signals RIGHT inside my home! I don`t use a cell phone but that does not protect me from everyone else`s cell towers. My daughter is far more electromagnetically sensitive than I am, We do not use a microwave and everything is ethernet or wired but she still got cancer from the cell towers encroaching more and more everywhere, including upon our home. There are no safe places anymore. I have severely disabled friends who have either died or are dying because of there being no safe places anywhere without cell towers where they can get food, water and sanitation. Now they are trying to take our landlines!!! They don`t want to maintain the wires for our phones! But we depend on wired phones! The captured regulators insist that the only harmful effects are thermal, which ignores decades of research and our lived experience. I consider anyone who uses a cell phone to be complicit in the murder of people I know and valued, included activists who were trying to educate the public. Like the tobacco firms before them, the tech firms are casting doubt on the real research, and regulators turn a blind eye to the harms because this industry brings in so much money and is so powerful a lobby. See Dr. Olle Johansson`s work and the Cellular Task Force, see the Bio Initiative Reports (https://bioinitiative.org/), see many other sources. Ask those suffering from the impacts and those who have no safe place to survive because cell towers are everywhere now and who are dying as a result. No one is counting their deaths. Some are now also cut off from all medical care because clinics and hospitals are contaminated with wifi and cell towers and cell phones. These people are marginalized and can not access work or incomes due to employers using wifi and cell phones and with towers on their buildings or across the street, so they have no way to save themselves anymore. EVERYTHING can be done with wired devices and it should be required that people do so. Convenience at the cost of killing off a % of the population that are the canaries is genocide and will eventually take down the rest of the population with them. And now the absolute insanity of tampering with the ionosphere and the earth`s natural electromagnetics could cause an extinction level event, including from satellites beaming destruction from above. Not to speak of blanketing the atmosphere with microwaves and not expecting that to cause fires and increase the warming of the planet -- and doing so from space of all things! The Roman Empire collapsed partly because it was using technologies that were convenient but which it didn`t understand fully -- like lead pipes in aquaducts. We are doing the same thing with electromagnetic radiation. You see convenience but you don`t want to see the poison that may well collapse our society.

A retired pilot reports wireless sensitivity and sleep difficulties, describes shielding and workplace lo…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am a 67 year old retired Navy and airline pilot. Throughout my airline career I struggled sleeping in hotel rooms that were near a freeway. My guess is I am sensitive to the vibration. My life suddenly got a lot worse in 2018, the year 5G started coming online. It was getting more and more difficult to sleep in my new home and in hotels for work. Every year over the past 8 years it has only gotten worse. My cellular and WiFi sensitivities present themselves as a low frequency rumble that varies in intensity almost like an idling semi truck. Wearing noise canceling headphones does not eliminate it so I know it is not sound related. My wife or visitors cannot hear what I am sensing. It is at its worse when I lie down at bedtime. I am unable to relax to fall asleep. The signal stimulates my nervous system and my heart. I currently disconnect all devices in the house from cellular and WiFi. I power off my router and sleep in a bed with a canopy of fabric lined with silver and copper that drapes to the floor and rests on a floor mat made of the same material. It is not perfect but so far I seem to be sleeping better. A year ago I started a new job that requires me to work in a large city. This is a city with rough terrain. I assume that is why they have erected cell towers almost everywhere, even in neighborhoods. I had to go through 6 hotels before I could find one I could sleep in. One of the worst sleep experiences I had was a hotel that had a suite. All night I would move the mattress to different parts of the room to try and escape the signal. I basically had zero sleep that night. The next morning I started looking around the hotel for the large cell tower I knew must be nearby. In the front of the hotel on the street was a strange small antenna slightly higher than a light pole. I used AI to try to determine what this new antenna was. It is called a Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS). They seem to be on every other block in many of the neighborhoods in this city. Many are disguised as palm trees or cacti. It is suppose to eliminate dead zones for cell service. I believe it is the same technology used to distribute cell service in large buildings and stadiums. I have started traveling with a mylar tent which helped quite a bit but it is very hot and uncomfortable to sleep in. I finally found a basic old hotel surrounded on two sides by a very large wilderness area with no nearby cell towers and no DAS towers. The company I work for has a preferred hotel but I was not able to sleep there. I went through the process to get a medical HR accommodation so I can stay at this hotel as long as I am willing to pay the difference in cost. It is the only hotel I have found in this city that I can sleep in. Many times over the past 8 years I have felt hopeless and have wondered how I will be able to cope if cell towers are allowed to continue to spread and are allowed to be made more powerful. I cringe when I see an ad promoting 5G internet service into your home. I hope none of my neighbors will use that service but I am sure the pricing from cell companies will make it financially the preferred choice (no more underground lines to upkeep). I recently read that STARLINK received permission to expand their system by 100,000 more satellites. Don’t know if there will be anywhere on earth I will be able to go to escape that. I cannot express how grateful I am to be asked to provide details on how Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure is destroying my quality of life. It raises my hopes that people may finally realize how harmful and toxic to our environment these technologies are. Please feel free to reach out to me if further input or involvement would be helpful.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I became electrosensitive after having additional solar panels installed and activated on my roof. My heart felt like it was racing. I took my blood pressure, and the top number was 178. My blood pressure is normally about 120/80. I put an emergency blanket (similar to aluminum foil) over me. My blood pressure immediately dropped to a normal range. The 3 times I removed the blanket, then put it back on, I got the same result. I had to make a tent out of these blankets to sleep. Now I cannot use my solar system. I get headaches and high blood pressure. It effects my sleep. I hired an EMF building consultant. He found high levels of EMFs. I spent about $20,000 on various devices to block EMFs. I have plug-in filters, filters an electrician wired into my electrical box, plus he wired kill switches for my bedroom outlets and below my bedroom, special window film (which I paid to have installed), a bed canopy made with silver threads ($1519 from Safe Living Technologies Inc. plus needed a new bed frame for it), a Qi-shield (a $1000 personal device), and other numerous personal devices (EMF BAND XL from EMFSol.com). These products have helped. I get a headache and my hand tingles if I use or hold a cell phone. This only occurred after the solar panel over exposure. I use a landline phone with no problems. Also, my computer is hard wired. Once when riding in a car with 2 friends I got a headache. They assured me their cell phones were off. A few miles later we passed an electrical substation. After traveling about 2 miles more, my headache went away.

A parent reports personal sensitivity and children's symptoms near a tower, describes household mitigatio…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I personally experience painful tingling in my hands so that I sometimes have to stop using my computer. The kids and I wear silver underwear everyday. Our family lives near a cell phone tower in Germany and my children (now early teens) have experienced many symptoms in the last years - trouble sleeping (especially since Smart Meters were introduced in all buildings here!!!), persistent headaches in one child, and neck problems. Eye strain in our younger child is common. To mitigate some of these constant issues - and yes, I am trying to move us to a new house! - I have invested in EMF protecting bedsheets, a router that automatically turns off when devices are off, screen-flicker blocking glasses... we do what we can to turn off all devices at night, but neighbours do NOT. Our symptoms have improved somewhat - especially the bedsheets help with sleep. It's been financially costly to support our bodies to cope with this much radiation stress, and I do not use a smartphone due to my sensitivity.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I'm very sensitive to wifi and the levels steadily increase as though our health is not important. Big business trumps our health at every turn! Why? They buy off legislators and in today's America that's OK. I'm unable to go anywhere because I become ill.
