Electromagnetic sensitivity

I am a retired naturopathic physician with over 40 years of clinical practice, both in the EU and in the US. During the last years of my practice, I have seen the increase of various health issues due to exposure to frequencies. Many symptoms such as migraines, insomnia, difficulty to concentrate, brain fog, nervousness, pain and deep fatigue have been resolved or considerably diminished with drastically cutting the time spent on cell phone and switching from wifi to wired Ethernet. I am electro-sensitive myself and I understand the burden that EMF's represent for many. That is the reason why I was able to give recommendations to many patients with MS, Lyme disease, and other chronic disorders, as these frequencies made their daily life miserable. Great caution is recommended regarding pregnant women, babies and children. Their brain is developing and these frequencies affect its development. Some doctors have emitted the possibility that autism has a lot to do with the exposure to these frequencies during pregnancy. Also, it is harder and harder to find trails and spaces in our Parks and National Forests without these ubiquitous cell towers that not only disfigure the landscape but create an enormous amount of frequencies pollution.

I am a health practitioner, I'm a massage and bodywork therapist in practice for over 20 years, I am a Mother. I am also a Nationally Certifed Massage Therapy Educator. I am 52 yrs. old. I do not use a cellphone. Review RFs as well as the EMFs.WiFI needs to be contained, not floating around spikey waves hitting us & permeating through baby's bodies. Wifi causes pain and damage to the cells, when I am away from wifi, I feel better and have no pain, I notice a huge difference in optimal health. Treat us all like babys, we need nourishment, we need protection, we do not need to be bombarded by dangerous invisible wifi. GO back to ethernet cable, it was safer, faster. Minimize the excess towers & bring it back from 50 towers in our quaint town, minimize to one tower, place that one tower away from residential areas, away from schools so we don't have to be forced to homeschool. Less is more. Since the wifi radiation permeates, I need to use my measuring meters to make sure there are no RFs and EMFs from the neighbor's home permeating in to our new and existing home. I'm being forced to buy 16 or more acres in order to avoid wifi radiation and smartmeter radiation from a neighbor's home,& I also am being forced to turn down house buying arrangements because wifi radiation from a nearby neighbor right near the property line, is too close to the house I'm interested in buying & settling down it. So I am forced not to settle down I am forced to be an EHS-electrosensitive refugee. Solar power has TONS of DE dirty electricity, causes convulsions, pain, headaches, symptoms. Electric Cars have battery packs that have EMFS that exceed way off the charts where people are getting ELECTRICUTED just by sitting right next to the battery pack, it shows on my measuring meters. I bought an electric car thinking it was safe and then I got sick and sold it back 2 weeks later. Remember our bodies are electric. We can not have interference for our bodies to function properly. We don't want to be forced to buy wifi radiation in the vehicles, we always choose no wifi, remove the wifi, we had to remove the wifi out of our SUVs by taking out the radio hub, this is only allowed in Basic Vehicles, do not make this obsolete, keep this as an option. We don't want keyfobs, we do not want wifi controls, locks. We do not want wifi cities or wifi homes, make an option for non-wifi. Please take away these dangerous toys.Please help us, change standards, make strict limitations, minimize. Get rid of the dangerous wifi toys. For every technology run by wifi radiation, we need an analog, non-wifi version with no radiation offered. Do not replace everything with wifi radiation and think that is "better". We always choose non-digital and dials over digital with radiation. We always choose analog over digital, We choose copper landline over digital phone, do not make this obsolete. We choose dsl over fiber internet because fiber has high amounts of DE-dirty electricity. I am not the only one. Most of us are trying to escape the EMFs and RFs and are forced to live in a mobile home and travel around to escape a celltower being built next to us. I am forced to live on 16 acres or more to avoid RFs and EMFs from neighbors. I prefer living next to people but I need to live faraway and seclude myself away from neighbors with wifi radiation. There needs to be wifi radiation quiet zones and neighborhoods, and parts of the town that has no wifi radiation at all. I am forced to work in my home. I can not work in a wifi radiation massage and bodywork office. Electrosensitive are forced to make communities that are safe from the wifi radiation, EMFs, and DE-dirty electricity, quiet zones are very hard to find and make. This is survival away from radiation causing pain and anxiety. I have measuring meters to measure the levels in the sleep room, in the home, and on the perimeters of the home. Safe levels are 1.5 on a Trifield EMF Meter, .1-.3 is safe on an RF meter. Because health is more important. ~sent from an ethernet cabled desktop computer, no wifi.

I am a health practitioner, I'm a massage and bodywork therapist in practice for over 20 years, I am a Mother. I am also a Nationally Certifed Massage Therapy Educator. I am 52 yrs. old. I am sending you a copy of my doctors note saying I need to avoid wifi. I do not use a cellphone. Review RFs as well as the EMFs. You already know this but we all have a WIFI DRONE ISSUE. All the neighbors are encroaching on our property, & military flying thermal radiation drones & pressing them in my windows each night playing war games and harrassing us on my 16 acres, encroaching my property, I moved 5 times, I sold my first home because of this and rented 4 homes which all had the same thing happening. You need to change the law so everything has identification, ids, we need identifications on drones no matter how small or big, and mandated laws and standards enforced. I am an EHS Refugee & moved out of 3 homes last year to escape a radiation smartmeter in CT that was forced in my home, and I had to move to a state where only opt out meters are enforced. I had to move back to North Carolina. Wifi radiation is inconvenient and encroaching on our personal space and property giving our bodies symptoms. I am trying to find a home to settle down in but I need to be miles away from celltowers and I am having a hard time avoiding the celltowers that are on the map close to each property and they should minimize celltowers. I should not be forced to use a cellphone, smartphone for using any social media or website, buying food, or work, or anything, freedom of choice. I took photos of my cat getting cancer from the RFs, the radiation from a smartmeter, she had a wound but when we moved away from the smartmeter radiation, her wound got smaller.Our lives have changed since wifi radiation over powered our lives. where we are EHS Refugees where we have to avoid wifi radiation. I have a husband and friends and massage clients who are okay with not bringing wifi in to my home, they have to keep their wifi away from me when near me. We avoid places with celltowers on the buildings or near the buildings. We avoid using LED lights at home, only use incandescent because we get headaches & symptoms. LED lights cause blindness in rats, & people, bring back quality incandescent lights, give us healthy options, not healthy for the environment, healthy for our system, our bodies first before environment. RFs, & EMFs cause symptoms of insomnia, rage, mass shootings, numbness, nerve issues, tremors, convulsions, reflex issues, inflammation, pain, brain fog, personality disorders, addiction, ADD, disruption of REM & sleep, most of all insomnia & sleep disorders which I believe are the source of all our problems. Tell them to do sleep studies.I am a sleep expert. You need to lower levels of radiation, you need to have standards like Europe and or think about people, plants & animal health. It messes up migration, the bees, it shortens lifespan. They need to have the battery removable so when the cellphone is off it is really off, not on 24-7. They need to make these adjustments to protect our health. They need to focus on "rest" & "sleep" & these basic needs for health & what that really means & how wifi, RF & EMF is interfering with our bodies, our bodies are electric, delicate, sensitive more than they know or care, & it is damaging our cells. It is causing inflammation. It is causing dehydration, & lowering vit. D levels dangerously. I do not use wifi, that is why. We should all have the choice not to use wifi & should not be forced to live next to a cellphone tower. Make an option for non-wifi. Please take away these dangerous toys.Please help us, change standards, make strict limitations, minimize. Get rid of the dangerous wifi toys. For every technology run by wifi radiation, we need an analog, non-wifi version with no radiation offered. Do not replace everything with wifi radiation and think that is "better". We always choose non-digital and dials over digital with radiation. We always choose analog over digital, We choose copper landline over digital phone, do not make this obsolete. We choose dsl over fiber internet because fiber has high amounts of DE-dirty electricity. I am not the only one, there are thousands of us, join our Electric Sensitive Support group facebook page. Most of us are trying to escape the EMFs and RFs and are forced to live in a mobile home and travel around to escape a celltower being built next to us. Safe levels are 1.5 on a Trifield EMF Meter, .1-.3 is safe on an RF meter. Because health is more important. ~sent from an ethernet cabled desktop computer, no wifi.

We have to understand about what we are, we are electromagnetic being. We should know about Sabrina Wallace and the connection between clouds and biocensor, bodynetwork and our biofield. We have to know about Arthur Firstenberg and his book: INVISIBILE RAINBOW. We know a lot of scientific as Pr Paul Héroux, expert on radiations. I have an electrohypersensitivity, caused by Wifi and bluetooth essensially, now i am sick and invalid worker. Not funny.

I am a doctor from Cornell medical school and I’m an expert in EMF having been very sensitive myself and gotten better over the last 25 years. A radiologist did a study showing the changes in the blood flow on Doppler ultrasound of the popliteal vessels When the cell phone has been applied this is what happens when my patients or my self holds the phone to the head and we get dizzy and ischemic symptoms. Mold exposed patients of which there are obviously many tens of millions in the country have damaged to the voltage, gated calcium channels, and are therefor more susceptible to this Injury. There’s a Netflix series about my work called afflicted I’m an episode six the most but episode one is about EMF and I suggest that you guys watch it. is correct about the effect of radio frequency radiation on the body and we should be mitigating this in schools by using wired computers less industrial Wi-Fi if any and no cell phones close to the students or teachers. We must educate the country about this area and I am available Environmental Health trust has done a lot of research in this area And Devra Davis has been a leader in this field and colleague. I presented in Congress to the veterans health subcommittee and help to raise $100 million for toxic exposure research and veterans as they often suffer from the syndromes unknowingly often due to toxic exposure, mold exposure, etc. The mold act was written 10 years after I presented to the committee and congressman Bilrakis who subsequently created the mold act to be voted on this year. It is time that traditional Physician’s learn from those of us who have become ill and stop calling us names. I have written an EMS related resolution in the medical society of Massachusetts as well as the importance of taking an environmental history. Which means when you get symptoms like the cell phone heating up in your hand or a headache did you just expose yourself to radiation that gave you the symptom. Of medical note Trisalts can alkanalize the body and reduce such symptoms. You need a committee on Environmental Health and Medicine to advise you in this area. I would be happy to participate and have letters of reference from NIEHS And I have clinical experience as well as personal experience with this unbelievable symptomatology of being environmentally ill. You can see me discussing EMF on the doctors and Dr. Phil as well. The other experts can give you specifics on frequencies and different types of radiation, but I’m a medical doctor and I can tell you about the symptoms and the treatment

For the past 6 years I have become intolerant to cell phones, computers, WiFi. My symptoms are EXCRUCIATING headaches, ear stabbing pain, burning scalp sensation, hair loss, insomnia, heart palpitations and chest pain. Just being on my phone and texting this is painful to me. I know without a shadow of a doubt what is causing it, as when I completely avoid, I am symptom free. I have sought out MANY different doctors, treatments and have literally spent thousands of dollars to try and help ease my symptoms. Please, please, this is no joke. We are being radiated and no one seems to care. I know of MANY people that have similar symptoms and experience electromagnetic hypersensitivity. Something needs done. Thank you for listening. Appreciate it. Sincerely, Kim Patton

I was sensitized to electromagnetic radiation after having an occupational exposure at an MRI center in 2002-2003. Since then I have contacted innumerable government representatives and agencies regarding this issue, the FCC's constant failure to protect us and their increasingly aggressive pursuit of higher and higher levels of RF radiation while in violation of a 2021 federal appellate court ruling to consider approx.11,000 pages of scientific research demonstrating biological NONTHERMAL effects of RF at very low levels, update its pathetic 30-year old THERMAL ONLY "safety guideline" for an adult male exposed to a single emission source for a short time - not the 24/7 bombardment from all directions (including space) that we are currently being exposed to and to perform required NEPA studies (never done) for small cells. I have NO protection under the ADA even though my neurologist of over 30 years has specified in writing that I have become sensitized to RF/EMR, there are medical ICD-10 codes for health effects of EMR, and the Social Security Administration at least recognizes EMR syndrome as an occupational disability (i.e., electrical engineer/technician, etc.). I have spent untold thousands of dollars trying to mitigate EMR in my home (which is now the only relative safe place I can occupy) and consulting medical practitioners about my conditions and options. I no longer have any faith in ANY US government agency. The US has among the worst RF standards in the world. The EPA was going to study the issue and establish a BIOLOGICAL (not thermal-only) standard for RF radiation but was defunded before being able to complete the appropriate research. The fix was in! The FCC became the designated responsible agency. The FCC is now almost if not completely a "subsidiary" of the telecom industry (in the revolving-door placement of industry-to-government personnel) and does NOT represent the best interests of the American people in terms of their health or the health of the environment. The FCC would have my neighbors being paid to put a 5G antenna on their roof with UTTER DISREGARD for the consequences to my health and well being or that of children, the elderly, immune compromised, pregnant, already sick and/or disabled and the environment. The FCC MUST comply with the appellate court order (the court has given them 30 days now after being brought back to court for their previous utter failure lasting since 2021) and perform UNCONFLICTED environmental impact studies outlined in the original court decision. I think we already know why they have stalled and disobeyed the court - they know the studies prove there are harmful health effects of RF radiation at levels so much lower than current exposure levels and the previous single-source thermal emission standard set for an adult male only - and that there are harmful environmental effects (seen all over the world now) - otherwise, why not review (with independent, unconflicted scientists) the scientific studies submitted and perform the required NEPA studies and put the matter to rest? They can't because the studies/reviews will prove the opposite (if performed by unconflicted scientists). The burden of proof should not be put on the sick and already injured! The FCC is derelict in its duty to protect the American people and continues to flagrantly ignore its obligations and responsibilities. However, the FCC should NEVER have been given SOLE authority over this matter - I BLAME CONGRESS FOR THAT as well as the EPA and the FDA for ignoring the NTP 10-year, $25 million study demonstrating CLEAR EVIDENCE OF HEART CANCER-the highest standard, evidence of gliomas (brain cancer), adrenal and other tumors, etc. from NONTHERMAL RF radiation (performed underground to rule out ambient radiation and under strict thermal controls). I am exhausted from this fight and the exponentially (seemingly without limits) increasing exposure to RF radiation. It was determined that I become a total insomniac due to RF exposure from an AT&T modem (in the home office next to my bedroom years ago) in which the wireless antenna (which was set to "off" by AT&T) accidentally reset to "WiFi enable" unbeknownst to me, apparently due to a power surge. My bedroom is now a room with metal roof, metal shutters, mostly silver fabric curtains and a silver fabric canopy so I can sleep, all of which cost me a small fortune (not tax deductible by the way). I exist only on faith in a higher power, as I have lost all faith in the corrupt system in which I find myself including "foxes in all of the hen houses" of the US government. What a pathetic, sorry state of affairs it is. Children are now being exposed to unprecedented levels of RF radiation from before birth! Will anyone protect them?

Hello, Thank you for this opportunity to express my EMF health symptoms and concerns. I am EMF sensitive, it has become difficult to go into stores because there is so much elecrtomagnetic wave energy. The EMF makes me very tired, light headed and unballenced. If I go into a big box store I experiience brain fog and forgetfulness. It didn't used to effect me but I believe it has gotten so much worse in the last few years. It makes my skin itch and makes me tired however I don't sleep well. I would like to replace my household smart meter for an analog meter. I did not have all these issues when at least my house had the analog electric meter. When I go out my cell phone is put on airplane mode or turned off. I turn off the router and WIFI at night, these steps help a little. But the world is now toxic with all the cell towers and transmissions. Please update the studies and laws for EMFs, RF Radiation and Wireless Radiation.

I had EHS since at least 2015 when my dentist told me I have it (Sydney, Australia). With extreme mould exposure recently those old same symptoms have manifested strongly. Power lines and cell towers create stupidity, fatigue, memory loss, occasioanl 'too much effort to breathe in' situations where it seems as if I just 'stop'. My doctor metnions a relationship between the mould and my EHS. I've yet to be able to afford more tests for confirmations in the normal sense of the word. Hopefully with treatment my mould exposure can be ameliorated. Then hopefuly my EHS will revert back to 'lower' level pre mould exposure so that I cn function normally in society (ie. work in an office replete with emf/rf).

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 health care provider and an ally of electromagnetically sensitive people. 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. We do not yet know the long-term consequences of constant EMF expsoure, and there are many well-designed, alarming peer-reviewed studies detailing real harm to human health. Please move to protect the health of our children, as well as electromagnetically sensitive people. Thank you for being receptive to this input. Sincerely, Rebecca Oshiro
