Identifies as highly EMF-sensitive and reports burning, tingling, numbness and headaches around devices. …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am highly sensitive to EMFs. My central nervous system is in perpetual overdrive. My hands start to burn, tingle & become numb after holding my cell phone for more than 15 minutes. I get headaches after using Bluetooth wireless headphones. I can hear constant electricity & frequency. It’s not tinnitus. If you want to check your location for towers & antennae plug in your address: https://www.antennasearch.com/ What bothers me most is the placement of towers on school property. What is this doing to the youth/students? Faraday material/fabric is super expensive.

Describes personal RF measurements near a tower, phones and microwave ovens, with greater concern about p…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Out of concern for my own health I purchased my own Radio Frequency (RF) spectrum analyzer. I find that I can detect the cell phone tower about a hundred yards from my apartment, but the intensity of radiation is orders of magnitude lower than would concern me. The multiple antennas on the tower look like a phased array, which beam signals to cell phones, and reduce the RF radiation spilled in other directions. So as long as I don't have a cell phone, I am not worried. When testing cell phones, the power levels that they emit are usually a few times below the level that concerns me. However, they do rise to as much as ten times dangerous levels when the cell phone has a weak signal. I also don't want to be in the beam from the cell phone tower. I believe that the huge increase in cataracts is due to RF exposure from cell phones. RF exposure is also known to cause brain tumors and infertility. RF towers handling high data rates, such as from data centers or military installations have well known hazards to those within a quarter mile. Cell phones use the same RF frequencies as microwave ovens. Those frequencies are resonant with water: They heat water efficiently. About half of the microwave ovens that I test leak RF; and the directions of emission vary greatly. A crack as long as a centimeter is sufficient to be a dangerous leak. Therefore I recommend that people stand at least two meters (six feet) from an operating microwave oven, because at that distance the power usually drops to safe levels. Exceptions must be made for rooms which have conducting walls, where constructive interference can amplify the radiation in locations far from the oven.

Alleges years of stalking and more recent directed attacks on the head from a visible nearby tower. Descr…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am able to view the cellphone tower from my apartment. I became a targeted individual almost eight years ago. The targeting began with just gangstalking for the beginning , six years of my targeting. In december of two thousand twenty four I began to be hit upon mostly the top of my head, with a burning sensation. I have managed to protect my head some while this neural weapon hits my head.Not only on top but everywhere , upon my head. This December I will have endured this targeting for two years. Getting back to the cellphone to, the weaponization is visible on this cellphone tower, which is within sight and approximately one block away. I have to say , I am just human and fear for my life. The shots upon my head do feel like a highly burning attack. Recently I feel even more of a drastic attack in which this shot literally pounds on my skull. I have managed to protect my head with numerous icy gel packs. I belong and a member of targeted justice with Anna Toledo a lawyer for information for the group, Targetted Justice. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to reveal to whomever it concerns. Christine Elena Grantham

Raises concerns about children’s device use, fertility, wildlife and wireless infrastructure. Describes p…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I’ve been a belive of this technology is dangerous to living beings. I did not let my daughter have a cell phone I Until she was older than most kids. I also dated a piolet who trained in sim for American Airlines. He would have personally changed after each time he teach classes in the sim. I think laying a computer on your lap cuts sperm. Electronics make kids angry messes with eyes. I’m sure it does damage to humans or any animals or birds exsposed to the towers or electronics. I’m old enough to know. When I was a kid I would get sick everytime I went to visit my auntie who lived in new London conn. It was a submiren base. When I went to California years later I got sick everytime I’ve stayed next to camp penialton and tgen I lived on Oahu was sick all the time as well. Some people belive others don’t. I know throw experience thatwifi electronics give off more radation make me sick.

Reports cognitive and sleep symptoms around Wi-Fi and other wireless sources, perceived improvement after…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am an individual consumer and patient responding to Question 3.(a) The EMF sources that most affect me are Wi-Fi and wireless infrastructure. I also struggle with emissions from computer screens and certain lighting that create EMFs. Other sources that have harmed me include smartphones, a microwave, neighboring 5G satellite equipment, and SMART meters on nearby properties.(b) I first noticed effects of wireless technology about 13 years ago (around 2012). I had been sleeping with my smartphone under my pillow, Wi-Fi on, to listen to podcasts as I fell asleep, for at least a few months. We also had Wi-Fi in our home. Exposure later increased when Google arranged free downtown Wi-Fi in our town and then ran that Wi-Fi up the hill where we lived. After we moved, a neighbor beamed a 5G satellite dish over our property toward a distant 5G tower. Our local PUD later required SMART meters countywide; I kept one off my home, but neighbors have them. I still encounter Wi-Fi in stores, restaurants, and other public places.(c) Potential adverse health effects have included severe brain fog, confusion, ringing in the ears, short-term memory loss, insomnia and general cognitive decline. It felt as though all my cognitive functions were slowed down, or as if a heavy wet blanket had been thrown over them. These symptoms have relapsed whenever exposure increased.(d) Symptoms first appeared after months of sleeping with a Wi-Fi-enabled phone under my pillow and living with home Wi-Fi. They increased over several weeks and occurred only at home or in other Wi-Fi environments; outdoors I felt fine. Turning off home Wi-Fi and related sources brought drastic improvement at home. When municipal Wi-Fi was extended up our hill, I became sick again in my own home and we had to leave. A neighbor’s 5G satellite aimed over our property caused another relapse; moving the dish ended that exposure-related flare. Public Wi-Fi still affects me, though usually less than the original home exposure.(e) I sought help from naturopathic doctors. The first scoffed but humored me. A second doctor in 2012 firmly admitted knowing about the problem, said he had encountered it before, and loaned us an EMF detection meter. He did not give a diagnosis. Over the years other doctors have admitted this is a problem and tried to alleviate symptoms, but all have been reluctant to give an official diagnosis. I believe doctors were unequipped to deal with this in 2012.(f) To reduce exposure, we turned off the Wi-Fi feature on our router and phones, switched phones to airplane mode at night, borrowed an EMF meter, tested plugs and electronics, removed the highest emitters, and stopped using the microwave. I improved drastically at home but still struggled in Wi-Fi-equipped public places. Increasing town Wi-Fi forced us to leave. We spent the next three years living in an RV searching for a rural place away from cell towers, SMART meters, and neighboring Wi-Fi. We eventually found one after much research. After a neighbor’s 5G dish caused a relapse, they moved it so it no longer aimed over our property. I fought to keep a SMART meter off my home and have so far succeeded. I have completely removed wireless technology from my home. I have not had a microwave in years. Phones go to airplane mode at night. I use speakerphone, never carry a phone on my body, and use a shielded case. All home networking is wired. Maintaining my health has been a very expensive battle, including measures to manage sensitivity when I must go into EMF-dense environments.(g) We confirmed sources with an EMF meter borrowed from a naturopathic doctor. I have researched scientific journal articles, watched countless hours of lectures, written letters to city councils to keep cell towers away, to my local PUD about dangers, and to county commissioners and state representatives. I have spent countless hours trying to warn and educate others, with little official result, though awareness and injury from EMFs are growing among friends and people I have met. I now fight my teenage son every single day to keep his cell phone out of his pocket because of infertility risks; he does not listen because everyone else keeps phones in their pockets. I cannot begin to communicate my frustration over more than a decade of struggle with EMFs and wireless technology. As long as convenience continues, appropriate studies are not done, and industry regulatory capture is not rooted out, there will be more people like me—and worse—and we will see an increase in the fertility crisis among the next generation.

A self-described holistic practitioner criticizes unchanged exposure regulations and alleges inadequate g…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Why, in other countries, are victims of EMF radiation suing large telecommunication companies, AND WINNING??? As a holistic healthcare practitioner, I have been studying the harmful effects of EMF's, especially from Wi-Fi, cell phone use, cell towers, and routers, for 15 years. It is absolutely UNBELIEVABLE that our government officials and big corporations continue to sell us lies and harmful products. Why haven't the regulations changed since 1996??? Why has it taken this long, to even attempt, to implement protective and positive change in this industry?

Attributes years of interrupted sleep to a nearby tower and describes leaving an older-adult apartment bu…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
There was a scientist named Marcel Vogel. He invented more than 200 parts of the IBM computer. He was my master teacher, and I am educated in vibrational therapies. When I moved into the over 65 apartment, I thought nothing of the location. When 4 years ago the tower which is less that 200yards from the apartment building, appeared to be emitting vibrations which would wake me up at 11:30 pm and then as it turns off at 4 am, I could go back to sleep. This horrible pattern lasted 4 years...and I finally left the building, breaking my lease it was so abhorrent. I wear a 5G protection device and had EMF protection for 45 sq ft of my home. NOTHING worked to keep it from interrupting my sleep. I read that one was turned off in California because it disturbed students in school This should be for all to be expired. I know it was not 5 or 6G coming out of that tower, because I have been aware of any vibrational field which causes me distress. It could also be the reason the whole building is embedded with mold.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am extremely concerned that cell phone towers are allowed to be built directly next to residences and schools. Since moving into a very expensive apartment with a 5G tower on the same street, I’ve developed severe tinnitus that only goes away when I’m not at home. The government must step in and regulate this serious health issue before it’s too late. RF and EMF is absolutely affecting us.
