Environmental effects

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 patient, healthcare professional, and concerned member of the public. I personally can not sleep with the 5G wifi router on. Having researched this issue, I have found overwhelming evidence about the health dangers of on our health, fetuses, children and animals. I am requesting that this issue be taken seriously.

I am an individual commenting about my detrimental experience with Wireless radiation from a SMART meter. On 3 separate occasions over 3 different years, I rented the same cabin in the woods that had no internet or phone access for the weekend. I am very sensitive to EMF radiation and I was relieved to know I 'd found a "safe" place to vacation. Each time I visited this cabin, I felt progressively worse the longer I was there; I suffered severe flu-like symptoms. I was also very weepy, couldn't sleep, could barely eat, developed diarrhea and had tremendous brain fog, I could barely function by the time I left. The first time, I arrived not feeling well and attributed how I felt to that. The second time I was surprised because I knew I was not sick like the first time I came. By the 3rd time, sitting in the same chair, in the same cabin doing the same thing, I had a "deja vu" moment where I realized I felt very sick every time I visited this cabin! I began to suspect that a SMART meter was to blame but I could not get close enough to the meter to tell for sure. Upon my return home, I called the owners and asked if perhaps they had a SMART meter? "Why yes, and wasn't it wonderful"? Now they could know very quickly if a cabin had lost power or not. I reported my experience for which they were very sorry, never having met anyone who was electrically sensitive before. I've had many other instances but this one was the most dramatic because of being the same cabin, 3 different years, and having no idea a SMART meter was present. I am thankful HHS has requested these comments and hope HHS will take pro-active action to understand the dangers of EMF's and RF and move to protect both people and wildlife from it's destructive influence. Thank you so much.

Please take the health and environmental effects of electromagnet fields, radio frequency radiation, and wireless radiation exposure seriously. There are proven negative effects to these and steps should be taken to prevent further harm.

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.

I've been having issues with EMR since Longmont CO installed their Nextlight high speed internet in 2016. I was waking from a dead sleep with heart palpitations. I came across a documentary on 5G and wireless radiation, they said turn off your wifi to find out if you have issues and I did, the change was so profound, had the best sleep ever in over 15 years. But my husband didn't want it shut off nightly due to work computer updates at night. So I resorted to harmonizers that did help for many years until they put in their Smart Electrical meters all over our community despite my open opposition to our city council for like 4 years, We did get an opt out option with a hefty fee, but all of my neighbors have gotten them. Now I can hardly raise my kids and am exhausted and not able to function somedays especially the days I have to go to Boulder for errands. My labs with my functional doctor showed my thyroid and all were normal then within a year of the meters it want to Hashimoto's Thyroid disease to being even more pre diabetic. I had an episode where I had to take antibiotics for dental issues and ended up with an insanely itchy all over full body rash that would not go away. I resorted to shutting off the wifi and within 10 minutes the itching stopped and the rash began to fade. I figured it must be my biome out of balance and since my testing showed high levels of mold in my system I figured the mold was running rampant. I currently have a rash on my face from our puppy scratching me that won't heal and has been migrating around my face for two months. I don't want to see a doctor and get antibiotics again. I sadly had to get a new phone and I feel like it is why my face won't heal. There is a definite pattern, if I have to text a bunch when I'm away from my ethernet wired computer my face starts to itch and burn more. We took a drive a few weeks ago and the first day my face felt great, hardly any cell towers where we were driving, the next day it was a raging mess with the towers on alternating sides of the road every few miles. Also on that same stretch hardly any insects on our windshield despite being in a national grassland with shoulders of the road that had not been mowed. I remember when I was a kids roads like that would get your windshield a good coating of bug guts. Another trip driving home from Big Sky MT I got sick from their wireless infrastructure at the resort with their towers at the tops of their chair lifts, I would feel what side of the interstate the cell tower was on based on the sharp pains in my head, I would normally wear a faraday beanie but had given it to my son who was 9 at the time who was suffering massive headache and feeling sick as well. He is also the kid who gets massive headaches and nose bleeds when they do testing at school which is the only time they use computers at his school, a room full of wireless laptops makes my son sick. Talking to the front desk gal my son was one of many kids who fall into this pattern of missing school and getting sick when they do this testing. I've attempted to educate the Directors of the school on this but they refuse and the last one even said there was no science to back my claims. In this day and age you can always find anything to back your beliefs even if they are not true. My husband is mostly in denial it is making me sick and complains whenever I try to buy anything to help myself and refuses to let me hire a building biologist to minimize dirty electricity and reduce my exposure. So I've basically lost all hope of every feeling good unless I get a divorce and since I can't hardly be out in public due to exposure from all the wireless infrastructure and now traffic cameras all over I can't work and leave. I don't know why you supposed leaders keep ignoring us Human Canaries in the EMF mines of society who are telling you it's making us sick. The ones who notice how when they install more wireless tech, the insect populations take a nose dive, like the bee's for example. The ones who physically feel it and suffer almost daily from it. Now I have this insane insomnia too that is not doing me any favors. Whenever there is weather forecasted I can feel the HARP shit that is charing the atmosphere and feel literally microwaved in the morning. Like I was with the next light internet. The things I used to use to help minimize its impact no longer works with each additional layer of Radiation you keep adding to this world. Faraday clothing helps but it's kind of ugly and expensive. You must fund the studies there is enough evidence from people like me to warrant such studies. And in the meantime but a halt to more being installed to avoid the continuation of the mass die off we are seeing of many much smaller species. The damage we are causing to our children needs to stop if we want to continue as a species.

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 as a parent and a concerned member of the public. I have two school-age children, and wireless devices are part of their everyday lives at home, at school, and in the community. I want them to benefit from technology, but I also want clear, trustworthy information about whether long-term exposure could affect children’s health. I cannot say that wireless radiation has caused a health problem in my family. My concern is that children may experience years of exposure while important questions remain unresolved. Parents need practical guidance grounded in careful research, especially when avoiding exposure altogether is unrealistic. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Federal agencies with expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health should assess the scientific evidence and listen to individuals and families who report being affected. I urge HHS to identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish clear federal research priorities. Please share the findings in language families can use to make informed decisions. Thank you for giving individuals and families an opportunity to be heard.

Since the smart meter implementation project has begun and mini cell antennas were installed on my neighbor, I started having severe tinnitus, and heart palpitations, and fainting. I also noticed that trees near antennas were unhealthy and damaged (photos attached.)

Since my late 40s, no matter the city I'm located, I can tell the direction of cell towers after the first night. I can hear and feel them. So, for 36-years cell towers and RF signals have been encroaching on my life. Consider me the 'canary in the coal mine'! The government is allowing the populace to not only be subjected to land based debilitation but the entire globe is being "irradiated' by the multitude of satellites in orbit. Humans are not the only lifeforms on the planet exposed to the negative effects of RF radiation!

I am personally affected by EMFs, RFs, and Wireless Radiation exposure. I go through great pains to avoid over exposure. My symptoms include nerve pain in my head, ear, hand, and arm while using a smart phone, as well as dizziness, fatigue, and other sensations of disorientation and random pain in my body. I have had to design my life around not using a mobile phone most of the time. I also have my house hard-wired. I am concerned that if infrastructure does not continue to support wired internet connections, I may need to move or go without internet. I also have vague symptoms that may or may not be connected to EMF's, but generally my symptoms improve when I go to the backcountry wilderness areas for hiking or camping. I am greatly concerned about the affect of wireless technology on all children, wildlife, and ecological systems. I believe this needs to be vigorously studied before implementing wireless advancements across the board. I also feel strongly that other cable/wired options should be made permanently available to all who need or desire them. The standards of safety for wireless phones should be re-evaluated and enforced, and transparency related to affects of EMFs and wireless technology on biological life should be made readily available to the public. There should be a system to evaluate the placement of cell phone towers to create the least amount of harm. Also if harm occurs, people should be compensated for injury, illness, or loss. Thank you for your time and attention.
