Since covid 19 my family especially me has had so many issues from emfs and the towers that have gone up since never had any problems prior at first I fell in my house in the hallway and once in the shower my whole family had havanna syndrone and I feel like we are owed a big lump some since we lived behind a radio tower that they strapped 5g too.. this became a weapon my head would feel huge my house would also be attacked with massive spirtual warefaee on top of it ....... Don't know if the two are related but I'ma say they are they came at the same time with covid weeks me and my husband couldn't get off the couch sick as shit and had a baby to take care of and we always where up and working we where workaholics!!!it took us both down and when I say for the count I mean for the count high ass blood sugars that would drop to normal level and left me with nerve damage in both hands I struggle to write for not even an extended period of time now......

An Australian commenter reports headaches, brain fog and sleep problems near two towers. Requests one-kil…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Dear Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, Firstly, thank you for your genuine concern for public health and safety in relation to electromagnetic radiation (EMR) caused by Cellular Towers, Smart Meters and any other public WIFI devices outside the public possession or control (hotels, venues, shopping centers, etc..); and for your authenticity as politician doing an outstanding public service for the American people and by extension set a fine model for the world in public health and safety. Secondly, we are so glad you are the person who is taking charge and leading this on public health issue caused by EMR. Thirdly, we live in Australia, and our house is approximately 200-300meters direct in line with two 5G Cell Towers from two different telecommunication providers. Every day, my wife and I suffer from the impact of headaches, brain fog, sleep disorder, difficulty speech (me), and more from the effects caused by EMR from these cell towers. I can easily feel and detect when EMF/R wireless radiation is active in my surroundings, because it immediate gives me headache, brain fog, and affects my speech. When I move away the above symptoms go away. Fourthly, the incorruptible true source of the safe EMR level is published in the SBM-2015. This is factual about the Maximum allowable for human health, unlike the other corrupt international standards created to benefited only commercial industries to push back – who used the same tactical playbook as the cigarette companies decades earlier. Firth, during the 2024/25 Trump Rallies (47 Presidential Election), I watched almost every day because I like President Donald J Trump and you and all the other Republic speakers. The Trump Administration is the most respectful to the only true ALMIGHTY GOD YAHWEH – the Alpha and the Omega. President Trump out together a great cabinet in particular the original one upon his inauguration in 2025. Sixth: Orders Sought. You are a trained lawyer. 1. May we please plead with you to STOP all new cellular towers installation withing less than a 1 km radius of residential homes. 2. NO compulsory Smart Meters in residential homes. 3. Public has Rights to refuse Smart Meter Installation 4. Create dedicated WIFI Free areas in all Public Places including hotels, schools, shops, clubs, and etc. 5. Create more WIFI Free Suburbs for EMR suffers such as Green Bank, West Virginia, located inside the National Radio Quiet Zone Utilities and Telecommunication The Utilities and Telecommunication companies are engaging in very blazen conduct, by installing Smart Meters and Cellular Mobile Towers, in homes and close proximity (< 1 km) to residential homes, respectively. "The limits that we have now are 25 years old are not protective of human health". Thus, they applied to the old analog mobile relay station back in the early 90's. Where, the analog mobile relay stations were installed several kilometers away from residential homes (suburban areas). Western Governments have passed laws which approved the utility companies to have free range to install cell towers and smart meters into residential homes, without given residents a choice. Our freedom to make choices in regards to our health and wellbeing have been taken away from us. This sort of blazen conduct is what we would expect in developing and totalitarian countries, and not in a free world like the US and Austrlia.

Identifies as electrosensitive and describes moving from an urban home, removing wireless devices, using …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hello, electrosensitive +++ since 2021, having lived for 30 years in social buildings and near antennas, I had to flee the city and find a house far from an antenna and wifi from the neighbors. I no longer have a mobile phone, no TV. My computer is wired connected to a fiber-powered box. No wifi at home, no connected objects and at night my electricity is cut off, for a better sleep. My life is better than before because I am connected to nature but I remain excluded from society because of my sensitivity to artificial electromagnetic fields. Katell.

Reports electromagnetic hypersensitivity, recurrent skin injuries and cognitive difficulties attributed t…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I became eltromagnetic hypersensitive in 2007, when a 2G cell tower was erected less than 1000 ft from our trailer in Naturita Co. I had been watering weeds in hopes of growing something in a desert yard, having recently remarried and moving there. Also I had a deck phone held between my ear and left shoulder while patiently listening to my x-sister-in- law try and convince me to invest in a restaurant in Tulya Texas. This went on for over an hour. Next morning when I got up I saw my face and neck in the bathroom mirror that my cheeks were bright red, my skin around my eyes were baggy, and there was a bright red area around my thyroid atea of my neck , and it was growing in heat and intensity,! I realized then the connections and began wondering what was I going to do, because it was getting worse by the minute, and with it, my mind wasn't doing well either! I prayed , I cried to my husband to help. Already I had been treating cancer of the lungs for seven years with alternative natural medicine, and I had an abiding distrust of regular medical services,and then .. I was finally truly healing and so going to the clinic wasn't obvious to me. But I did understand what must have happened,and my inner instinct was to get as far away from the cell tower as possible and fast! I opened the tiny phone book praying, and saw there was a cafe out in The Basin, a huge flat ranch and oil drilling land some many miles south of town. I called it, the manager a woman answered, and I asked her if she might have a cabin to rent. She did! It was often rented to hunters, but this was summer, and so it was a available. I had the money from my divorce, and packed up and went there. My husband brought me food and water for the month it took for this thermal burning to subside!I became friends with that woman, and strange as life sometimes is, now I am one of four Caregivers taking care of her aged father,19 years later! But as that may be, this horrible condition repeated 11 times over the next 9 years, and every time ,I tried to come home and resume life with my husband the thermal burn would come back. This would include my skin debriding from my face and neck, and my brain barely able to function, while I had kept moving to remote locations to recover.my husband had work so he couldn't just be with me. Eventually he found on the Internet that people who have EMH if they have exposed metal in their mouths can suffer extreme from thermal burns from cell towers radiation. We found a dentist who agreed to remove my remaining upper teeth , so as to remove the titanium bridge partial I had for the previous 6 years and replace it with a resin denture.I moved into inadequate housing nearer to town, as slowly I was getting better. I took in a homeless elder abandoned lady by her family who was 91, and got signed up to take care of her under the CDAS Program, because I have certification as a CNA.She lived the last 6 years of her life with me. It took those years to get the metals out of my blood so that I can withstand using a cell phone and being in what we consider normal radiated environments. But it's not OK. I am not a quiter, I know of many people who became homeless because of their sensitivity to microwave radiation! I joined groups to help bring awearness of this scourge,and to get feedback about this issue. I have a reputation in my small town about this and many people are still confused about it. This was like a natural disaster economically for us! One which few recognized! I recognize we are all suffering. Tinnitus, headaches, fibromyalgia, thyroid diseases, kidney failure, rapid aging, just to make sure. 5G is a bio weapon. So please stop it! My town of Nucla is engaged with Virtible Bridge to relocate a contracted 5 G tower after strong opposition to it. Our little phone co. Is considering putting up one too. The combined towne of Naturita, and Nucla 's population is about 1500. We have too much cell coverage already! Other Nations have limited the frequencies, why can't we!Thank you Annie Gibbons

Reports an EHS diagnosis and perceived cardiac and sleep reactions to meters and phones. Recounts relativ…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am submitting these comments in response to HHS's Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMF's), Radiofrequency (RF), and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding for myself, my father, older sister and my son. Myself: I was sickened by the Electrical (ComEd) Smart Meter in March 2018, caused Heart Palpitations (AFIB), Sleep issues, Agitation, Anxiety like feelings, I connected the dots due to a notice being placed on my front door from the electrical company stating they had just installed the new Smart Meter. I called ComEd and a gentleman in a Hazmat suit uninstalled the meter with in 5 days (for a fee $75 and I pay $22 a month to have it manually read), they have shared after putting back the old Analog Meter, that the Smart Meters are no longer Mandatory in Illinois. Once the the Smart Meter was removed all my symptoms went away. I also uninstalled the Village Smart Water Meter having same issue. I was diagnosed EHS (Electro hypersensitive) in 2019 by my Holistic Doctor, he shared that he has had (15) patients with the same experience once the Smart Meter was placed on their home. I also struggle severely with the newer Apple 4G/5G Cell Phones (10 - 17), within seconds of holding my phone I get agitation in my hands, anxiety feeling that lead to heart palpitations so strong. I now feel secondhand cell phones, can not go into large gatherings, Church auditorium, Theaters, Music venues, Airplanes, Airports, etc. And yes, the Apple safety guidance buried in the phone is true, use Hands Free & Speaker. I am now being challenged with our Community getting blanketed with 5G Antennas, placing them 10' feet from an apartment building on the west side with the safety sign being place on the top of the pole stating this antenna may exceed the FCC Safety Guidance and little stickers stating you need to be 10' away to be safe. Does it exceed, no one knows locally. I know it does because I feel the cell towers and small cell antennas, unfortunately I have a light pole on my property 30' from my bedroom window and our Village President shared the FCC can put up to (2) antennas per light pole. I will be forced to move at that point because I can not be in my home safely, outside in my gardens or safely walk around my neighborhood. This is a very concerning matter to be forced to leave your home after living there 40 years. And, where do I go to be safe?? That is unfortunately the reality, where do you go with having EHS to be free from all the wireless Radiation?? My Father's story: He was sickened for (2) years starting in 2016, having Heart Palpitations (AFIB), Gut issues, Dizzy episodes, Sleeping issues from Smart Meter installed on his bedroom wall, WiFi Router under his desk, WiFi Boosters installed where he sat in his kitchen dining table and family room chair. After my story, I was able to see why he was having all these mysterious symptoms, he was never getting a break from wireless radiation. He would go to rest in his bedroom after being dizzy at his dining table (WiFi Booster) to be hit again with the Smart Meter on his bedroom wall. Once all the wireless radiation items were removed his symptoms all went away but he had some continued energy issues and gut issues remain (Autoimmune disease). My Older Sister's Story: She was sickened in 2015 having mysterious symptoms for (3) years, Muscle ache, Extreme Anxiety, Gut issues, Energy issues from (4) ComEd Smart Meters outside her bedroom window living in a Condo, along with (57) WiFi from densely populated area. Once my story hit, I was able to see her issue. Once the Smart Meters were covered with Safety Guards her symptoms improved but she ended up moving to a more rural area, is doing better but still dealing with low energy and gut issues (Autoimmune Disease). My Son's Story: He was attending College at Northern Illinois University living in an Apartment building, University Plaza on campus, started having headaches after (3) months of living there, getting more severe. He mentioned to me one night on a phone call that they where installing more bars on the roof/Elevator Shaft. I asked him to immediately send me a photo, to find out they where installing Cell Tower Units, 60' feet from my son's bedroom window (Verizon & AT&T). I removed my son from that apartment building that evening and his headaches went away. I wrote a letter to the building management begging them to protect the students and remove the cell towers off the roof. Ballroom Dance Friend Story: My dance friend came up to me 2023 and shared she now understands why I sit in the back of the Ballroom away from other folks cell phones. She was diagnosed with stage (4) cancer tumor right under her Bra strap, carried her cell phone there frequently. Her doctor said she is seeing tumors at the bra strap and also at the waist line of workout pants where unfortunately woman are choosing to carry their cell phones. My friend passed away.

Reports ear pulsations and tinnitus following installation of solar panels and a smart meter, with percei…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am very concerned regarding all emf’s. I became very interested in researching this topic several years ago. (10yrs) when I purchased an iPhone. My fingers are very sensitive to the screen. Then in 2017, we installed solar panels on our home and I started to feel the pulsating pulse in my ear as I would park my car in our garage. Between the smart meter that was installed in Feb 2017 and the solar panels in 2017, I immediately felt the pulsating in the ear. Luckily I found a faraday cover for my smart meter and the pulsation was reduced, but that doesn’t help the tinnitis I feel as well. Then over the years, the installation of 5g towers have worried me as well. These towers put out signal for 5 miles. There is literally no safe place to be. Within our homes with the WiFi or outside. I really wish there was a better way to mitigate these signals. This topic needs to be studied from the effects of cell phone exposure to 5g towers. The last studies origiante from 1970. Please look at the EGW studies they have been doing the studies. Thank you.

Alleges nationwide GPS tracking and directed-energy harm through a military-controlled satellite and towe…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Thank you for the opportunity to express some shocking facts that most people are unaware of. The Renowned Whistle blower Richard Lighthouse ( Targeted Justice ) can easily prove that every citizen in the United States of America is being tracked by GPS without their acknowledging it. This super computer at the Air Space Force in Colorado springs is what controls the satellites that controls the microwaves towers that track all US citizens. We know and have proof that this super computer can also send through the microwave towers, directed energy weapons with the capability to exert great pain and suffering to innocent people. This system takes an immense amount of highly trained personnel to sustain its infrastructure. Its indicative by inference, that we the innocent live in a land that is occupied by the enemy.

Reports tingling, tremors, weakness and other symptoms following six weeks of work near a tower, plus per…

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'm responding from the perspective of a concerned citizen who has experienced firsthand the effects of cell tower radiation. In 2015 I worked for 6 weeks in a building with a cell tower on the back. I had worked there previously, and noticed nothing for the first 4 weeks. But then I began to notice strange things. My feet would tingle as soon as I entered the building. I experienced extreme muscle weakness in my eyes, and would have to close my eyes despite not actually being sleepy. On several such occasions I felt electric shocks pass through me (dirty electricity from the equipment?). On one occasion I had the bizarre sensation that my chair dropped away from under me, then came back up and slammed me in the butt! I developed a hand tremor I'd never had before. For several months afterward I'd get sudden tremors racking my body, out of nowhere. I had frequent dizzy spells, felt weak and was afraid to drive long trips for fear of blacking out in my car. My swallowing reflex was slow on one side and I was afraid of choking. I developed weakness in my hip muscles and lower back (worst when the barometric pressure was low), and would feel like I was going to collapse. I also developed restless leg syndrome which has not completely gone away. This was a day job and just for 6 weeks. What happens to people who live near a cell tower 24/7? (Truly horrific things from what I've read -- one woman suffered 51 strokes, and for others it's a-fib, heart palpitations, chest tightness or outright heart attacks, not to mention headaches, dizziness, nausea, sleep disturbance, nosebleeds, and cancer.) Smart meter radiation (same type of radiation) has been shown to rip and slash the red blood cells of anyone standing near one for just 2 minutes, whether the person felt anything (e.g. tingling) or not. I've opted out of a smart meter, but have had bad experiences in homes with smart meters -- violently increased heart rate, or sudden exhaustion and hunger ("hangry" doesn't begin to describe it). This radiation is a serious threat to the health of all of us, and must be addressed. The experiences of all who have been affected need to be considered alongside the scientific evidence. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard. Sincerely, Debra Kohn dmk7779@gmail.com

A parent reports developmental and neurological difficulties in an infant whose crib was near a router, p…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am directing this comment to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) about my personal experiences with EMF and the biological impacts my child experienced. My daughter was 7 months of age when our family moved into a newly built house. Over the course of 9 months we began to see our daughter stop babbling, develop neurological problems, and behaviors that resembled autism. However there were still behaviors that our standard pediatrician nor a developmental pediatrician could make sense of. I set out to find what was causing this and learned what EMF was and identified that our daughter’s crib was located directly next to the home WiFi router that was built into the wall of the laundry room by the home building company. We relocated the WiFi router and within two weeks our daughter started to make eye contact again and some of her symptoms improved. After working with other practitioners we learned that our daughter has had significant neurological damage and had significant inflammation to her central nervous system. Over the last year we have been doing what we can to best help her get better but we’re not sure she will ever fully regain what she lost due to this experience. Our daughter is also very sensitive to EMF and we have to limit being in public places near cell towers as this causes her to start showing neurological behaviors. As a result our family lives extremely carefully due to our daughter’s condition but in this country where EMF is not regulated we are finding this extremely difficult. As a parent my heart aches that this happened to my child, but more than that I’m enraged that EMF is not regulated, our government isn’t educating medical professionals or technical industries on this and that this is causing harm to so many Americans who aren’t even aware of it. In addition to my public comment I would like express our willingness to share details of daughters medical case if this helps provide supporting evidence/research of the health implications of EMF specifically to children. As a mother my heart is heavy that this happened to my child and that it is something that will impact her the rest of her life but my hope is that sharing her experience will help bring about change in this country.

Reports longstanding chemical and electromagnetic sensitivity and numerous symptoms attributed to a nearb…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My name is KIaren Rose, living in oregon, and suffering badly with severe chemical and electrosensitivity. Have celltower owned by T Mobile, less than 3000 ft away from house. It has antennae levels on tower, and using mid and low band frequencies, told to me by T Mobile, I am suffering badly daily from tower. I have following symptoms and they are now permanent:: vision blurring, floaters, cataracts, light sensitivity, memory losses, nausea, dizziness, vertigo, damaged vestibular system, hair loss, stomach and digestive pain, weight loss muscle wasting, mystagmus, pressure in head, csf leaks with sinking brain, severe fatigue, tremors like parkinsons, severe sleepiness , labored breathing, painful neck and lower back, weak and frail, etc. I have asked T Mobile to please divert antennae away from my house as I have lived there for 7 yrs and from 2G to now 5G the tower is and is permanently damaged my health and I have nowhere else to live. I am pleading for help, I can get much more details if your group or department would like from me, I have many more symptoms I live with. The 4G that was there before one year ago when 5G came in, already ruined my health and now the 5G which the pressure in my head continually tells me is emanating from tower 24/7, prevents me from a life with no pain constantly. Please help, I can give more details., if requested, thank you so very much. My neighbors who live near me on this 20 acre property that I rent (just the cabin), also are very very ill from tower, severe dementia my landlord, and pain in whole body continuously, and neighbor has severe diabetes and severe rheumatoid arthritis and in lots of pain. Weekends are even worse and painful for me, indoors and outdoors, due to the heavier gaming traffic of neighbors and tower. I would like to testify more formally, please let me know if I can help this very important movement. I am a lay researcher I call myself for last 15 yrs and I know quite a bit regarding Multiple chemical sensitivity and electro sensitivity and personal experience suffering for last 40 yrs. My address is 20028 Cribbins Lane, Myrtle Point, Oregon 97458 and email krose@kittymail.com, I would like to contribute more. I hope my testimony has been of help. God Bless all of you trying to help people suffering like myself. Sincerely, Karen Rose.
