Neurological symptoms & sleep

Hello, and thank you for finally addressing the harmful effects of EMFs/wifi. In 1999, I was injured in an auto accident that prevented, due to pain, my normal sleep: Without it, within one year, I had become diabetic. Sleep debt is a common cause of diabetes, fyi. This led to my being seen at Stanford Sleep Clinic and to undergo testing there. As I am on Medicare, after my initial verifications of sleep apnea, with need to use CPAP--that occurred in 2001--I was later required twice to redo the sleep study (to continue receipt of CPAP supplies). However, on the second recall--after that of the initial testing and first recall--Stanford had switched from their "plug electrodes on my head into the wall to get their readings of my brain and sleep overnight" to a system that is wholly EMFs emitting wifi. Now, instead of teh electrodes plugged into the wall, I had strapped around my body and over my solar plexus the device holding the leads to the electrodes on my scalp and other measuring devices on my body; further, this data was now being read via wifi. In short, I had been made into an equivalent of a cellphone tower. This was the night that I learned 1,000% I am EMF/wifi sensitive and that I cannot function properly on a normal bodily level nor mental level when directly serving as the conduit. There were no problems getting my first two readings: I fell asleep naturally, like I usually do. With this wifi testing scenario, I could not fall asleep; and it was difficult for them to record, thusly, my need for use of CPAP, for lack of my sleeping normally. So, this is well documented by Stanford Sleep Clinic. This helped explain to me why I felt so abnormal if in touch with a cellphone. Basically, the minute I touch one, I sense a charge going through my body and put it down. It also explained why I was not sleeping normally when a new CPAP machine arrived and was set to read from some distance my nightly activity. Once I realized this, I turn wifi off and go to airplane mode, so I an use the needed CPAP without also experiencing sleep disturbances and insomnia. In airplane mode, I sleep well using CPAP. In fact, I am some sort of miracle with CPAP as a user in my 0.3/hour AHIs--when accepted normal is 5/hour! But, if I am allowing them to monitor me and, thus, not in airplane mode, I am way, way worse than 5 AHIs/hr! So, my WorkForcePro Epson printer is set not to use wifi; my desktop computer does not use wifi; I cannot use a laptop (due to its emitting from the keyboard wifi); and I use a landline, so I do not have brain damage from use of cellphones. As a licensed primary health care provider, I am educated about the health problems associated with use of wifi; and I often end up with clients whose presentations are a direct result of their cellphone and/or laptop usage. I am also highly educated in the realities that the increasing Gs of cellphone towers are harmful to all within range, and that NO research that was not beneficial to the companies advancing this technology was ever considered nor required before approved for societal usage. So, thank you for getting around to learning what that decision has wrought upon the average citizen exposed to wifi whether they know it or not, want it or not. These days, one finds it difficult to find a cruise ship or hotel that is not a total wifi available 24/7 environment, or a place where smart meters are not in use, or a location free from cellphone towers, or even a public space without several involved with cellphones. (Back to sleep studies, what Stanford has is now the norm, so those who cannot be around wifi/EMFs cannot get a sleep study done these days, too!) Technically, the damage to the body is on the cellular level, with the calcium channel blockers being overwhelmed and, thus, cells--all of them in the body--are flooded with calcium, thus injuring the cells and damaging mitochondria; and researchers have demonstrated this repeatedly. I share one researcher's findings in the attached. The first series of images is of live blood looking at the cells, where the first shows the blood after 4 hours of not using wifi and the second shows the blood after carrying the cellphone in a backpack for 45-minutes, and the third shows the live blood after having the cellphone in hand and using it for 2 5-minute calls. The second attached is the same experiment with a different person. As you can see, what was normal becomes abnormal when a cellphone is near or on the body and, too, while in use. This is not normal. So, why are you allowing the entire population to be harmed in such a manner? Dr. Elizabeth Selandia, MLIS, MAIA, MAMS, OMD, CA

**HHS-OASH-2026-0397 — Public Comment** I am a patient and a person with disabilities. I have severe symptoms that I believe may be connected to electrical devices or wireless exposure. Possible triggers include computers, phones, Wi-Fi, appliances, lights, and vehicles. My symptoms include burning or electrical feelings, pressure, dizziness, nausea, ringing ears, poor balance, confusion, extreme tiredness, and sleep problems. These symptoms can make it hard to work, use a computer, travel, get medical care, and participate in the community. When I tried to explain my symptoms, providers didn't fully examine me. When I reported these sensitivities and could not explain them clearly, I was called psychotic and lacking insight. I was then forced to undergo a year of court-ordered psychiatric medication and injections, even though I reported having prior harmful reactions to these drugs. This only made the symptoms worse. Doctors should not assume these torturous symptoms are psychiatric. They should first consider head injury, medication effects, neurological problems, sensory disabilities, sleep problems, trauma, and environmental causes. Please consider that HHS: - create a simple way for patients to report symptoms and possible exposures; - study combined and long-term exposure from common devices; - require careful medical testing before symptoms are labeled psychiatric; and - support reasonable low-exposure and communication accommodations. People should not be dismissed simply because science has not yet explained their symptoms.

It all started 2019. Before then I had no issues that I was aware of. Few of the symptoms I get when I am around cell towers, cell phones, wi-fi and smart meters are: 1. in my head it feels like I am on a boat, 2. I feel sick, 3. ringing in my ears, 4. I get a feeling that my body wants to run away, fight or flight mode - to leave this area, 5. shaky hands, 6. stifness in my neck, 7. I get this feeling of vibrations inside my body which make it hard to relax and impossible to sleep, my body is tired but my head is all alert. These are just a few problems I am dealing with regarding all the amount of radiation that is coming closer every day. Who knows in what way all these thousands of satellites are affecting us? And we hear more and more about 6G and 7G. I mean, what the h*ll! Overall health in people gets worse. Time to make it possible for people to thrive again and not just go for the money!

My name is Keisha Truax. I am from Middletown, Maryland. I have been diagnosed as having EMF Hypersensitivity. It started over a decade ago after living in a home with mold spores. My nervous system become hyper vigilant. EMF's were a great source of physical and emotional anguish. They affected my ability to sleep or rest well. I had Fibromyalgia like pain start. I had headaches and pain in my sinuses. Even after leaving the home with unresolved mold mycotoxins. I am to this day on medication for anxiety, sleep issues, depression, and suffer from headaches, nerve pain and environmental respiratory symptoms. Cell towers are brutal. When I drive by them even when within a quarter mile and can't see it, the pain in my head, and body intensifies. As I get further away from high tension power lines, cell towers, smart meters, wifi sources or a cell phone my symptoms ALWAYS become less severe. I sleep under an emf canopy due to a cell tower a quarter of a mile away. I do not have wifi in my home and keep my cell phone on airplane mode or off 90% of the time. Unless using for specific reasons. It is NOT a phobia and that has been well documented. It is a physiological and neurological reaction. I get stomach aches and feel anxious near EMF's. They have affected my mood and my behavioral like a puppet on a string. Reproducible without me knowing. Every time! I have suffered relocation of a home due to high tension power lines a quarter mile away. It affected my sinuses with pain and pressure, with increased headaches, earache, and insomnia. Not to mention the mix of anxiety and sadness. EMF'S seem to affect the nervous and digestive system as I regularly get nauseous or have vertigo around cell towers or high tension power lines. I have chronic inflammation and it gets worse after certain EMF exposures. When I type on my cell phone my fingers have felt intense pain and then numbness as I type words. It's a chronic issue that increases the more I use my phone. It's not psychological because I'm not a person of fear or someone who is afraid of EMF'S. They affect me so I have to limit. With limit and protection comes a great reduction in neurological, gastrointestinal amd psychological symptoms. EMF'S have made me unable to function at 100% and I can not work. I do NOT get disability and live with my fiancé who is financially well off. I have had my environmental illness with MCS and EMF Hypersensitivity documented by health professionals. I am on medication to help with symptoms and to function as a mother, finace' and as normal of a life as possible. I take Gabapentin, Seroquel, and Propanolol. I have it documented that my heart rate/pulse are in fact affected by electricity, such as sitting next to an electrical outlet or electric device. Rapid heart rate around wifi, cell phones and electrical wiring, smart meters too. They all impact me. I can not go to public spaces without sitting closest to the outside, never in the center, surrounded by all the individual's cell phones. I sit on top row on the far corners at my daughter's sporting events or at church. I was unable to attend any of the above for three years due to SEVERE MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity) AND EMF Hypersensitivity. On medication, sleeping under a canopy that shields, and limiting wifi, cell phones and electrical devices has been the only treatment or prevention that works to minimize the negative consequences of EMF exposure, and how it affects my overall health amd physical abilities. Please put better, more strick, regulations on the FCC and the environmental EMF'S all Americas are being exposed too. In schools, in neighborhoods, in public spaces, and homes. We need less smart appliances, smart meters, smart devices, wifi, cell phones, and computers emmitting these cancer causing, neurological antagonizing, and psychological impacting weapons going into our air space, homes and bodies. Obviously there is a conflict of interest with the FCC and Power Companies, Cell Companies, and internet carriers, etc. If there are more regulations and science showing the long reaching short term and long term affects at different levels of exposure it would protect the American people. Please speak up for those who are experiencing these negative health consequences from cell towers, 5G, wifi and high tension power lines everywhere. Help the truth to be spread. Radiation at small and large levels KILLS. It affects our cells. It affects the quality and health of human life. Thank you for being a champion of truth and science. The two should not contradict the other. God bless America. God bless our leaders. God bless your endeavors to help protect us ALL from these magnetic fields that are detrimental to human life. My teenage children, all 3 have had mild to moderate negative symptoms to EMF'S, as I have had moderate to very severe. We share symptom profiles. An increase to allergic, histamine producing symptoms is probably across the board for all of us

Personal Experience and Reported Physical Effects I am submitting this as an individual describing my personal experiences spanning more than four decades. I report that recurring experiences I associate with RF/EMF-related targeting became noticeable around 2013 in a milder form. I experienced what I personally characterize as a Havana Syndrome event in 2017, additional episodes in 2021 and 2022, and from 2022 onward I report that these experiences became a daily occurrence. I have struggled with leaving my home since December 1, 2009. Since December 17, 2024, when I left for emergency dental treatment, I have not left my home again. The physical effects I report include: • Vestibular problems affecting balance and equilibrium. • Multi-tone tinnitus resembling twanging rubber bands, with multiple tones and changing volume levels. • Progressive hearing loss. • Frequent headaches. • Brain fog that comes and goes. • Spotty memory. • Difficulty sleeping. • Nausea. • Episodes of blurred vision that later correct themselves. • Episodes where my heart feels noticeably weaker and then stronger. • Sensations throughout my body that I describe as cavitation. • Episodes of extreme internal heat followed by cooling, and episodes of feeling unusually cold that are difficult to warm up from. • Two separate episodes involving an intense, high-pitched vibration accompanied by searing heat and pain, followed by teeth shattering apart with significant force—one in 2019 and another in 2024. • An incident involving a forceful impact to the back of my head, after which I spit blood. • Unusual skin injuries that I photographed, including injuries on my nose, behind my right ear, and on the top of my foot, where I observed scabbing that appeared to follow the tendon area. I am submitting these as my firsthand account of the physical effects I experienced and as documentation of injuries I photographed over time. My approach to medical care is shaped by my religious convictions and my understanding of Latter-day Saint teachings, including Doctrine and Covenants Section 89, the 11th Article of Faith in the Pearl of Great Price, and Linda P. Wilcox's historical discussion of Brigham Young's views in The Imperfect Science: Brigham Young on Medical Doctors.

Scientific Article Submitted for HHS Review We respectfully submit the following peer-reviewed publication for consideration by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services: Garoli A, Greco A. “Shielding the First 24 Postnatal Months of Life: A Proposal for a Prospective Cohort Study of Early-Life Electromagnetic Exposure and Autism Risk.” Alpha Psychiatry. 2026;27(4):53282. DOI: 10.31083/AP53282. This publication presents a prospective research protocol investigating whether electromagnetic radiation (EMR) exposure during the first 24 months of life may influence neuro-developmental trajectories and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) risk. Importantly, this paper does not establish that EMR causes autism. It proposes a methodology for investigating the question prospectively. The authors propose following 1,000 full-term newborns for 24 months, comparing an EMR-reduced cohort (n=500) with a standard-exposure cohort (n=500). Exposure would be characterized through RF/ELF measurements, proximity analysis, device inventories and wearable dosimetry. Neurodevelopment would be evaluated using joint attention, language development and EEG mu-rhythm measures, with ASD diagnosis as a secondary exploratory endpoint. The article also identifies biological mechanisms that warrant further investigation, including voltage-gated calcium channels, intracellular calcium signaling, Ca²⁺/calmodulin pathways, mitochondrial metabolism, oxidative stress and neuronal synchronization. Ion Cyclotron Resonance (ICR) is presented as a candidate framework for understanding some of these interactions. The authors appropriately acknowledge that weak-field transduction and ICR mechanisms remain scientifically contested rather than established. The protocol is particularly relevant because it attempts to address a persistent challenge in EMR research: accurate exposure measurement. The proposed study incorporates environmental measurements, wearable dosimetry, shield-integrity monitoring, compliance records and repeated neuro-developmental assessments The authors also acknowledge significant limitations. Cohort allocation is observational rather than randomized, residual confounding may remain, and the proposed 1,000-participant study is underpowered to establish modest differences in ASD incidence. The study is therefore explicitly designed for exploratory signal detection and to generate data necessary for a larger confirmatory trial. We respectfully request that HHS review this publication and consider whether this hypothesis warrants independent, adequately powered, multi-center investigation. Future federal research could examine whether objectively measured RF/ELF exposure during infancy is associated with neuro-developmental differences; whether specific developmental windows are more sensitive; whether effects vary according to exposure characteristics; and whether genetic susceptibility, calcium signalling, mitochondrial function, oxidative stress or other biological pathways modify potential effects. Given the widespread exposure of children to electromagnetic fields, we believe these questions merit rigorous, independent scientific investigation. The objective should not be to presume that EMR either causes or does not cause neuro-developmental effects, but to establish the answer through appropriately designed prospective research.

I’ve been a targeted individual for 10 years- it feels like a nightmare that will never end. The perpetrators use v2k ( microwave / radio frequency) I’m not sure how the words are transmitted but they talk with a type of physical force inside my head- always on the left side. I have stroke symptoms on the left side of my body and I’m certain that all of the head trauma from the v2k is responsible. The perpetrators deactivate my medications. They use AI that reads the faintest thoughts I have and it responds to my thoughts. I get sleep deprived and they have burned my eyes when I’m trying to sleep. The nights are particularly terrible-the AI talks in my head with an energy force from 10p-1a. They tell me that they are driving me to suicide and they encourage suicide.I need help. I have made reports to the FBI and no one ever responds. I’ve written letters to specific people at the FBI and no one ever responds. I’m helpless and suffering alone every moment of every day. If you have resources to help please reach out to me: Misty Gowder 470-824-7917 mgowder1980@gmail.com

Yes it has caused me to have frequent headaches when I've never had them in my life. To the point of pulsating migraines. I can feel when I'm being heated up with a DEW and it destroying my organs such as my heart. I'm only 23 and suffer abnormal incontinence from this. I'm aware it's related because my ex husband confessed yet could not be held criminally responsible because it's unheard of and violence is not something americans tend to control. This tech is being used on millions of women covertly in domestic violence. Then, when they seek help... Their symptoms are dismissed as mental health issues but the evidence is usually silenced or gaslighted. I think it's the cause for the significant rise in cancer. We need to know what these criminals are doing to our body and get us the help we need to heal and safe guard from future events.

I am commenting as an individual, family member, and electrical engineer. My wife has developed an extreme sensitivity to RF emissions with increasing impact on her life. As an engineer, I have been able to validate this through direct experimentation. In a blinded fashion, I turned on the 5G cellular band on a modern iPhone on and my wife reported and rapid onset headache. I then turned off that band and she reported the headache went away. I did this multiple times, including experiments where I never actually changed the setting, and in all cases the headache correlated with turning on the 5G band and abated when it was off. This is a conclusive result that her physical pain is correlated to the proximity to a 5G radiator. In addition, when we are within line of sight to a modern cell tower, she will frequently experience pain and discomfort until we are a significant distance from the tower. This limits her ability to have a routine, pain-free existence and is particularly problematic for office work, travel, etc. These RF fields do not elicit the same response on me as I can directly attest when doing these experiments. My direct experience shows that certain individuals are much more sensitive to RF energy that others. To force someone to endure pain and discomfort simply because they are in a minority or that sensitivity is hard to identify and quantify is inappropriate and a violation of her rights as a citizen. I would strongly encourage additional, objective, blinded research on RF sensitivity as I described above to provide the necessary evidence to guide limits on wavelengths and power levels that are allowed to be used broadly.
