ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I'm sensitive to EMFs. I noticed how much when they upgraded my internet. I was able to turn it down in the app but what happens when they take away that option? I also tried a 5g phone I returned it still using a 4g phone. I also have been sick from a power pole 10 from my window. Symptoms include migraines, nausea, burning feeling in my gut, sensitive to touch my phone, numbness tingling. This is inescapable. Once 6g is launched so many of us will be extremely ill. Along with fragrance sensitivities it goes hand in hand with Emfs. We are the canaries of the world warning that it's killing us and we get mocked.

Reports longstanding electromagnetic sensitivity, gastrointestinal and neurological symptoms, personal fi…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
In 2005 restless leg syndrome developed after sleeping on a bed with a massage unit. My legs had weak nerves due to infantile paralysis (polio myelitis). Evidently the strong electric fields were affecting them. At the same time, due to constant cell phone usage, an abscess developed on the rim of my ear accompanied with heating. It was obvious to only use the speaker phone when using the cellphone. Around 2008, a diagnosis of Crohn's disease based on constant and severe diarrhea was diagnosed by doctors. Knowing my high sensitivity to electromagnetic radiation pollution (EMRP) it was now time to have the electric company come to measure levels at home. The levels were extremely high. Dirty electricity from neighbors systems were grounding to water lines creating an electric pathway through our home due to our clean pathway of our new ground to the water pipes from a new panel and new transformer in the alley behind the house as a perfect route. Blocking the water pipe transmission with a nylon coupling at the street reduced the problem, still my health continued to decline. Throughout the city are hot spots of EMRP. With more towers always being added, avoidance is impossible. By 2012 I had lost forty-five pounds, had no bowel control, exhausted and looking like a holocaust victim. I began preparing to get my things in order. A friend introduced me to a mitigating product that was amazing. It was from Germany and solved my problems at the time verified by no longer diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. By 2018, I had regained my weight and resumed a full schedule of work only to find a new environmental problem. In 2019 street work was in full swing for 5G. As thick wiring and repeater units overhead were rolled out destroying the ambiance of the streets the new 5G wavelength exposure produce a dramatic new change. Walking along the sidewalks my feet would heat up mimicking peripheral neuropathy, yet completely absent when walking in nature. Monitoring EMR and RF radiation levels throughout the city provided the answers. There are peaks and dips which appear to be the result of dirty electricity at ground level, possibly 5G along with strong antennas beneath the sidewalks, wiring and transformers above. Recent measurements at ground level are very threatening. According to building Biology Evaluation Guidelines (AC) for sleeping areas (SBM -2015) for medium frequencies <20 nT, 0 to 20 is low enough to have no impact. The measurements go on 20-100 is slight, 100-500 severe, and >500 extreme. When moving the meter toward the ground it goes up and up until one of the highest measurements is 2350 at sidewalk level. There are peaks and valleys of reading along certain streets consistently in the severe range. This fits an explanation for neuropathic symptoms when walking along streets. Measurements resulted in a zigzag pattern when walking the street to do errands. As of 2020 new EMR pollution from new towers and antennas and the additional 5G infrastructure and satellites forced my evacuation from family and friends to the country. In 2023 the natural electrical grid of the earth seems imperiled with satellite saturation. It seems the visible destruction of tops of trees, reduced insect populations and birds is combined with physiological changes. When visiting the city after three days there is a shrinkage of testicles and loss of weight. That was not occurring before. Now in 2026 even small communities are wired and full of antennas and sensors. To stay healthy mean to be house bound and when out pay the debt of detoxing over several days afterwards. This is not what Nature meant for humanity to endure. The necessities for AI, robotics, and communication are out of hand environmentally and though a millisecond slower communication could be allowed at a fraction of the exposure experienced in this country. Without any doubt, our health is directly affected by many toxic environmental problems. Electromagnetic radiation is the most pervasive! Our entire biological system, and that of the planet Earth, is based upon cellular health and the energy function of the mitochondria which transfer nutrients and waste via water molecules in a gel state that requires electromagnetic wave lengths to function properly. When this extremely sensitive biological act is impacted by our exposure to electromagnetic radiation energy far in excess of normalcy- all hell breaks loose!

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am now in my 70’s and have been adversely affected by RF radiation since 2009, when a transmitting "smart" meter was installed on my home. My heart was racing, I was unable to think or sleep, was labile and exhausted. I was soon affected by phone towers as much as a kilometer away, as well as by cellphones. Symptoms included insomnia, tinnitus, anxiety, digestive and circulatory problems, fatigue, poor memory, inability to think and make decisions. I could not stand in queues due to others with cellphones, and could not be in buildings with wifi after that started. I had to give up my consultancy career in 2011, due to being unable to be in so many environments. I was affected by fluorescent and LED lightbulbs and obviously unable to use a cell phone myself. I also became affected by lower frequency radiation, from circuitry in the walls at home. I used to travel frequently but now was, and am, unable to use any form of public transport or sleep in any venues with wifi. So I am unable to return to the country of my birth, where my family of origin live. I am unable to wait in waiting rooms, where others are on their phones; am unable to have Xrays, MRIs or CAT scans due to how I might be affected by the radiation; and do not know what would happen if I was ill and had to go to a hospital. Receiving no help from doctors who do not understand this issue, I spent thousands of dollars trying to help myself survive and recover: gadgets, shielding, therapies, blood tests, vitamins… My relationships were affected as many friends could not understand or be bothered with my inability to go places and do things. I see my own family less often than I would have as I had to move away from suburbia. My life has been quite isolated as I cannot join in the groups I used to participate in - learning, teaching, sharing, exercising. Instead I spend much time at home on my hardwired computer. Physically I am lately affected by extreme fatigue for days after exposure, rather than being aware of radiation at the time, as used to be the case. So this technology has in a sense made me an outcast, anxious about going places, unable to join in or contribute as I used to. It has changed my life to a very limited one (in Australia).

Hello, so typing the story again about how wireless radiation has affected my life is different today. Yes, my case has been difficult thru the lose my home and family relations in the process. MC/EFS and late stage chronic lyme disease with many co-infections I was lost without a doctor I trusted per Western terms but also quit stubborn in allowing my body to heal. I purchased a biofield device and treated myself, learning to read again, diminishing my nervous system over-reaction and detoxing all of the "stuff that doesn't belong" out of my body. This process took years with organs and systems running the wild game of catch up. I refused assitance and would not be drugged thus using all of my funds. Some things won't change like never putting on a headset, wearing ear buds, working in an office with dirty electricity not being away that the food I eat plays a role in my health along with exercise and contact withj a growing community of like minded people. This is what I did, stubborn yet up for the challenge. I would love to speak with an audience of what I went thru to not only raise awareness but also inspiration that it can be done against all odds. Respectfully Christy Knight

A former laboratory worker reports longstanding EMF hypersensitivity and barriers to insurance coverage a…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have been suffering from EMF hypersensitivity for almost 10 years now. I worked for many years at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where high-voltage power lines run across the lab, and RF communication with deep space occurs, so the EMF environment is very intense. My symptoms started gradually, and it took me a while to figure out the root cause. In addition, I used to use my iPhones regularly, speaking on them frequently. The last 10 years have been very difficult for me because my condition is not recognized, and I'm not able to get my insurance to pay for all the holistic treatments that have kept me going. I can hardly ask for accommodations at work because, again, my condition is not recognized. Please investigate this condition! I have found some research papers online that examine the effect of EMF on living beings and humans in particular, but the medical community is very behind and narrow-minded. They don't use critical thinking and assume that if they didn't learn about a condition in school, it must not be true! But technology has expanded so rapidly that the medical curriculum has not had a chance to keep up with this. I'm so grateful that this condition is finally being examined, and I am confident that we will soon have enough evidence that new regulations will be enforced and it will save lives.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
RFs - I have negative reactions to my health when I am working with wireless mouse, laptop, etc. vs wired ones. I can fee it in my hands. I get headaches as well when working with wireless equipment and in wireless building because when I do not go to the office and work from home on wired equipment I do not get those. Also, when I used to sleep with my phone charging next to me I was restless and did not have any energy the next day, I was tossing and turning all night, etc. Then, we started charging the phones in the other room and turning off cell and wifi and putting them on airplain mode and turning off the wifi for the house as well, sleep has been great. When I am on my cell phone for long my hand I hold it with starts hurting, when I am not on it it goes away. Not using microwave has helped tremendously as well with digesting foods better and headaches. RFs and EFs/dirty electricity - since sleeping in a bedroom further away from smart meter sleep has improved as well. Kids used to wake up many times per night and they sleep through the night now. They also used to get headaches as well. EMFs - EFs - before starting to turn breakers off at night, sleep was not good, electricity was making sleep not as restful. Putting Dirty electricity filter in the house has made headaches throughout the day better. I am attaching some files one EFs and RFs that the building biologist I worked with shared with me. I hope we can get our homes, schools and workplaces healthier!!!

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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).

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Thank you SO MUCH for opening this discussion! I have been telling people for decades that EMF / RF is like cigarette smoking -- smoking was everywhere, doctors endorsed it -- and then one lawsuit showed how much companies knew about the health problems, and it was gone. Time is valuable, so I will give a super quick overview of my personal experience with the problems with EMF / RF -- 1. When my son was a baby, he screamed whenever we drove past a cell tower. 2. When driving on the highway, I'll get a head ache, og over a hill, see the cell tower, think, "Oh, that is why my head hurts!", it will hurt until a hill is between me and it; until the next headache and the next cell tower revealed minutes later 3. I had to stop flying, after wifi on planes came, as I was getting nosebleeds 4. My horses take people cell phones out of their pockets and flip them into mud. 5. I wondered why I was getting pneumonia after concerts and similar large gatherings; it was being around so many people in such a small space, with their cell, wifi and bluetooth antennas all blazing away 6. The keyless entry cars give me a head ache. 7. Everyone who has taken my advice, to turn wifi and cell phones off at night, has noticeably benefited 8. I sleep better after making sure that there are no live electric wires running in the wall behind my head 9. Tinnitus inside the house (with really high dirty electricity), but not outside, or when the power is off. 10. The bald eagles on my land have not been able to raise chicks in the nest that gets the full force of the cell tower; plus the high RF areas have killed my trees, including the tree with the bald eagle nest. 12. My children became unhappy and difficult when we moved to a high EMF/ RF area 13. Visitors to my hard-wired, no wifi house sleep better than elsewhere, in spite of the dirty electricity

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Digital meters, 5G, and strong electric lines affect me in various ways! The meter on our house cause severe sleep deprivation and I feel a constant vibration inside my body. Some days/times it's much worse than others, but always constant! I can see a 5G tower from my home, only a few blocks away. Vibrations for stronger after it was installed. Wi-Fi contributes. I also feel a pressure and can get headaches when close to strong power lines. I have also experienced tooth pain and jaw pain from the same and possibly from some other strong electric/EMF fields/devices... As I have have experienced those symptoms without being able to identify what could be causing it...Alway while driving. But after getting some distance away, the symptoms disappear.
