Electromagnetic sensitivity

I wanted to offer my experience with EMF sensitivity. Prior to 2019 I did not have WIFI at my house. I owned an IPHONE but had very limited cell service in the rural area I lived in Arkansas and only used my IPHONE on my lunch hour at work. In 2019 I moved to California to help my daughter out with a new baby and lived in an apartment which had 24/7 WIFI and my daughters house also had 24/7 WIFI. I developed insomnia and anxiety to such a degree that after a year I moved back to AR. I later got married and my husband needs WIFI for his research but we unplug the WIFI box at night. Now, whenever I experience anxiety I am unable to look at my phone for more than 15 minutes at a time because it increases the anxiety. Also, at a doctor’s office I went to recently, they had a large TV in the waiting room with a movie playing and I was extremely uncomfortable with what I can only imagine was EMF exposure. We do not watch TV at home and only watch an occasional movie due to my sensitivity. The rural area we now live in does not offer landline phones so I have no other choice but to use WIFI.

I developed electromagnetic hypersensitivity after moving from my home in a rural setting to a small city of around 40,000 people. My symptoms began after living in my home for 3-4 years. I worked as an RN at a large medical center. I was active with no medical conditions and on medications. I have always been involved and active in environmental health issues. I knew enough about "smart Meters" to have the meter on my new home removed as soon as I moved into the city. After living in my home for 2-3 years I began to have symptoms of extreme fatigue walking up 1 flight of stairs. I would wake every morning with deep burning in my eyes and a headache. I noticed that the burning would ease when I ate breakfast in the kitchen area. I then developed other vague symptoms - one night I got up with feelings of pain in my intestinal tract and I passed out in the bathroom and fell to the floor. I went to an Integrative Medicine physician for an evaluation. I had developed lupus and hypothyroidism. I had a strong sense that these conditionals had an environmental link. I had my house tested for EMR and "dirty electricity. The levels of EMR and dirty electricity in my home were extremely high. I lived in an area near many cell towers and my neighbors smart meter was abouy 12 feet from my bedroom. I am one of the lucky ones, as I was able to move back out to the country. I have gained my health back completely. I am active once again and take no pharmaceuticals and live a happy life in a low EMR environment. I am sad for the many others that are suffering from EMR illnesses. It was a very difficult time for me and my family. Barbara Cruickshank Earlysville Va.

I strongly support a thorough and independent review of human and environmental exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs), radiofrequency (RF) radiation, and wireless radiation. I personally suffer from the radio waves from wireless devices. It is uncomfortable. Our exposure to wireless radiation has increased dramatically with the expansion of cell phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters, antennas, 5G infrastructure, connected appliances, and other wireless technologies. Yet questions remain about the potential effects of continuous, cumulative, and long-term exposure, particularly when people may be exposed twenty-four hours a day in their homes, schools, workplaces, and communities. I believe public health standards should be based not only on whether RF radiation produces heating effects, but should also continue to evaluate research concerning possible biological effects associated with long-term, low-level exposure. This review should consider children, pregnant women, older adults, people who report sensitivity to electromagnetic exposure, and individuals who may receive unusually high cumulative exposure. It should also examine potential effects on animals, birds, insects, pollinators, plants, trees, and other living organisms. Human health cannot be considered entirely separately from the health of the environment in which we live. I encourage the government to support independent research that is free from industry influence; examine cumulative exposure from multiple wireless sources; evaluate whether present exposure standards adequately address modern technologies and long-term exposure; and consider practical ways to reduce unnecessary exposure. Where reasonable alternatives exist, people should also retain the ability to choose lower-exposure options—including wired connections and non-transmitting utility meters—without being penalized for doing so. Wireless technology provides important benefits, but technological convenience should not replace careful scientific evaluation and prudent public-health protections. When scientific uncertainty exists and exposure is widespread, a precautionary approach is appropriate. I respectfully request that this review be comprehensive, transparent, independent, and attentive to both human health and the health of the natural environment. I deliberately made this **firm but scientifically defensible** rather than saying that all EMF or RF exposure is already proven to harm every living cell. That will make your comment harder to dismiss and, in my view, more effective.

Dear HHS, Secretary Kennedy, & Fellow Patriots, I’m so grateful you’re addressing the Public Health dangers of EMF Radiation. Particularly, the EMF-RF emitted by Smartphones & Smartwatches. I have been an EMF Expert since 2010. I hold 2 patents in Applied Scalar Physics, I have 20 years of published history in Genomics, and I completed all my clinical rotations for my MD after spending a decade pioneering new healthcare technologies. I discovered I was EMF-sensitive after returning from the Ecuadorian Amazon. My “radiation detox” off grid in the jungle made me so sensitive to my laptop that I could feel the thermal effects of its radiation, and my skin was burning. Laptops are not for laps. I leveraged this knowledge and my high tech experience to commercialize the world’s first helical magnetic vortex device. Since 2014, I have been warning the public & the mainstream medical community of deadly EMF dangers such as cancer, infertility, obesity, miscarriage, Alzheimer’s, and cardiac arrhythmia. I have several well cited power points I could send you which I created for my Ob/Gyn & Emergency Medicine colleagues. The FDA itself warned on 5/13/21 that EMF-RF from certain Smartphones & Smartwatches can turn off implanted cardiac devices (ie pacemakers & defibrillators). It’s the fiduciary duty of HHS to make sure the public knows these dangers. Every Smart device needs a massive warning label, and Cardiologists should be required to warn every patient. I researched years ago how EMF causes deadly cardiac arrhythmias- costing taxpayers millions in ER visits. The EMF-RF frequency opens voltage gated calcium channels (VGCC’s)…. Which causes both arrhythmia in the heart, & Alzheimer’s in the brain. Americans keep suffering as corporations make billions on the products harming them. The medical community does not yet understand the human Biofield or the harm EMF causes, so they dangerously recommend that people with arrhythmia should wear a Smartwatch to monitor their rate… without realizing the Smartwatch itself directly causes arrhythmia while opening VGCC’s. I’d love to be HHS’s new EMF Safety Czar, educating the public & medical community on EMF dangers. Would you like me to share some well researched presentations with Secretary Kennedy?
