Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to share my personal experience with radiofrequency exposure from Wi-Fi and 4G/5G transmitters in my surroundings.
I live in Norway, and I am concerned about the increasing level of radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation to which people are exposed. I am also concerned that safety limits and assessments may rely heavily on information and research connected to the telecommunications industry itself.
I own and operate a company in Norway. We have several computers and a Wi-Fi system at our premises, and the company has been operating for more than ten years. During the first few years, we used desktop computers connected to the internet exclusively through Wi-Fi.
In 2017, I received a new desktop computer, which was positioned close to my right foot. Shortly afterwards, I began noticing an unusual sensation along the right side of my body. It felt like a persistent tingling, irritation or discomfort that started in my lower right leg and extended upwards to slightly above my right hip.
This continued for several months—possibly four or five months. I consulted a chiropractor because I thought the symptoms might be caused by a trapped nerve or a similar problem, but the treatment did not help.
Some time later, we installed a wired internet connection at the premises, significantly reducing our reliance on Wi-Fi. Within approximately one week of installing the wired network, the tingling and irritation on the right side of my body disappeared.
To test whether the change might be connected to the Wi-Fi, we disconnected the wired network approximately two weeks later and returned to using Wi-Fi. After a few days, the tingling sensation returned. It was not painful, but it felt like an irritation deep inside the muscles, similar to the sensation of a compressed or irritated nerve.
Since that experiment, we have used only a wired internet connection at the company, and I have not experienced those symptoms again.
I still use a mobile phone and have Wi-Fi in my home. I am not frightened or distressed by wireless technology in my daily life. However, I am concerned that the telecommunications industry may have too much influence over the standards used to determine which exposure levels are considered safe.
Based on the timing of my symptoms, their disappearance after switching to a wired connection, and their return when we temporarily resumed using Wi-Fi, I am convinced that radiofrequency exposure from the Wi-Fi equipment caused my body to react.
I have also noticed that vegetation surrounding some 4G and 5G towers in Norway appears to show poorer growth when trees are located very close to the transmitters. I cannot establish the cause based on observation alone, but it adds to my concern that prolonged exposure at close range may have biological effects. When the industry presents this technology as entirely harmless, without what I consider sufficient independent long-term research, I become sceptical.
I believe experiences such as mine deserve to be documented and investigated through genuinely independent scientific research. I hope that health authorities will continue to examine the possible biological effects of long-term radiofrequency exposure and ensure that public safety standards are based on precaution, transparency and research that is independent of the telecommunications industry.
Sincerely,
Geir Loseth

I live in Devon, England; in 2020 I was working in a building in Exeter where '4G Lite' was being installed, the main antennae was in the car parking area of this building; my first symptom was intense chest pain whilst in this area, it lessened after leaving the car park; over the next two years I developed skin rashes along the backs of my hands, my forearms and forehead, i experienced almost constant palpitations on exertion whilst at this place of work, if I had to 'sleep over' i had insomnia [sleep has never been a problem before], intense, constant headaches, foggy thinking, amnesia and extreme lethargy;
i recognised the source of these symptoms [an innate knowing], retired and now live in the countryside, without wi-fi, no phone and much fewer symptoms:
As the electrification of the environments around me have increased, i have changed my lifestyle completely, [i live like a hermit], i cannot tolerate cities, being in a car for more than an hour, and if i need to take a flight anywhere it takes weeks for my body to recover;
I have frequent treatments of bioresonance and homeopathy to help my body cope with the ever increasing electrical fields.
As per my Research The Microwave technology can be made The Smog......The Pakistan, India and now Bangladesh facing the situation in this regard.
Official get ready the brain issues along with the hart problems will be notified within few months.......same in America and all the Global issues basically due to use of Microwaves.
More information available on official requirement please.
Best,

It has greatly been detrimental to my health. It disrupts my sleep. I now have to turn all my devices on airplane mode when I go to sleep. The difference in Sleep Quality is astronomical. Which is really quite terrifying.
I do have neurogical symptoms. If I am ecposed to wifi routers, cellphones and near cell towers my body start to tremor and it feels if I am going to lose consiousness. It feels as if my whole body, every cell in my body vibrates.
EMFs have had negative impacts in several of my family members. The most severe happened to my father in 2021.He had chromosome deletion that caused strokes, and needed regular blood transfusions because his body stopped making normal red blood cells. The last blood transfusion was contaminated with mrna vax, gave him another stroke and his heart stopped at the hospital.
My mother had a heart attack while living in the same home in 2024. Both happened within 3 years of the high school getting wires ran under their home and new infrastructure added into the ceiling of the building.
They still used a landline, but also had internet . My dad never used a cell phone, or a computer. My mom used a cell phone to text or call, but nothing else.
My experience everyday, is debilitating. Its worsened my condition, is ageing me rapidly, has thinned my hair, and my teeth fall out like im in a nightmare. An entire tooth, undamaged, coming out into my hand. One had 3 whole, undamaged roots still intact. Now my bottom front teeth are nearly coming out. A couple days ago, one did, I pushed it back in. My body hurts constantly, like I have the flu, but im not sick. I have heart palpitations often. I get lightheaded in certain areas at work. My vision has gotten so bad the past 2 years, that I almost did not get my license renewed. I get blisters on my skin if im outside for any amount of time ,without being fully covered. My hands and arms have white splotches where there is no melanin now. The brain fog is unbearable. The sleepiness is stealing my life. Ive switched all the LEDs back to incandescent my home The new LED bulbs installed at my job, called BioUp, alter circadian rhythm, and hormones, and have disrupted my menstrual cycle tremendously. I now bleed 3 weeks, stop for 1, and repeat. I’m 45 years old. And still have small children Im raising alone. I cant shop at certain stores, because by the time I check out, my brain fog is so severe and sleepiness so heavy, that im unable to safely drive home.
My children are all affected with headaches and various things.
My teenager has noticed severe cramps during school, and heavier cycles. She also experience the same stereotypical symptoms of covid, which mimic radiation illness, and has been studied in metadata analysis reports for similarities. Symptoms are loss of taste and smell, and congestion currently. She has body aches. Her mood swings are so severe the past couple weeks, that ive nearly called medics too assess her. This is all since school started Aug 24 2026.
My youngest is gaining weight rapidly, complains of headaches often, nearly everyday, and struggles to sleep.
My oldest has hypothyroid and skin rashes no one can explain, and was told he has rheumatoid arthritis at 23 yo. Hes always been very active, athletic, and lives a healthy life. .
My 2nd oldest has depression and anxiety, sleep disorder, and has had mri to check for concerns with headaches.
My child suffers from both asd and autoimmune condition ( pans) and I’ve noticed he has a lot of bad behaviour s that comes up even he is on the iPad . I’ve also noticed more agitation and short tempered s as well as he expresses his head hurting . especially in environments with around wifi . I feel the same in regard’s to my head hurting headaches.
My EMF incident happened in January 2024 in Malaysia.
TM unifi (my current broadband service provider) called to ask if wanted to upgrade my home broadband to 5G with a new router with small additional cost of RM$10 per month.
I said I didn’t need.
11 January - woke up in the morning to find that I couldn’t browse the internet. Checked with an internet speed app and the speed was only 2Mbps. Made a report to Unifi, a technician came the same day to reset port. They called HQ to reset the port and was told that my speed has now increased from 30Mbps to 300Mbps. A free upgrade in speed.
They didn’t mention that this is 5G speed.
On the same day, I went to bed having a very bad stomach ache, bad nausea and bad headache . Vomited few times that night. Couldn’t sleep much as I there was in terrible pain in my head and stomach.
12 January - started dry fasting by skipping breakfast and lunch , dinner can’t remember if I had any. Maybe plain rice or nothing.
13 January - normally I would feel better after a good one day dry fasting but I still feeling lousy. had lunch but after that had stomach aches , nausea and bloating. Feeing like vomiting. Constant Coughing / Phlegm
14 /15 Jan - had very plain food, plain rice and eggs. Lost 5 kilo in weight in that several days. Coughing / Phlegm non stop.
16 Jan - Suddenly Nose bleed (continuous non-stop) started in the afternoon about 4pm , could not stop for 14 hours until the next day 6 am . If I sat up blood would flow through the nose, if I lie down it would back flow to my throat. It was a mixture of blood and phlegm which was disgusting . Lost substantial amount of blood.
17 - 25 Jan - still having cough and phlegm, started eating bananas and slowly getting better, but still felt a slight dizziness especially when bending down, no appetite, stomach not functioning as well and feeling extremely tired. (Started to feel breathlessness). Moody and grumpy .
I had tingling discomfort jelly like sensation on my nerves on my upper back shoulders and neck.
26 Jan - In the morning, I had non-stop sneezing for several hours. Continuous phlegm / runny nose. Typical detoxing. Feeling exhausted after stabilised .
27 Jan - just checked my cctv and realised it was connected to the wifi after the password reset. But the CCTV could not connect to wifi as the cctv could only be connected to 4G . Call and Confirmed with my service provider that my internet had been upgraded to a 5g bandwidth, and also my current router is already 5G ready. I Decided to put EMF protection cloth to cover the router and modem. My wife managed to find some EMF protection sheet we bought from before.
Feeling better already just moments after covering the router with EMF protection cloth.
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. I am currently 75. Around 2011 I experienced tinnitus in my right ear only. I consulted an ear, nose, and throat doctor, who sent me for an MRI. He said that one sided hearing loss could be caused by a tumor. The MRI revealed that I had an acoustic neuroma. These tumors are usually benign, but if they grow, they can require invasive surgery which can result in hearing loss, facial paralysis, and more. These tumors take up to 10 years to form. I started using a cell phone around 2001. From the beginning, I believed that my tumor was caused by cell phone use. I'm right handed, its my right ear, and I held my phone up to that ear for long periods of time talking to people long distance with that phone. I was unaware of the radiation coming from cell phones.
At first I had an MRI with contrast yearly for 7 years. That contrast was gadolinium which is a heavy metal. I now regret complying with that requirement because of the possible health ramifications from heavy metals. Current medical research indicates that the contrast is not required for MRIs of acoustic neuromas and my current doctor agrees. Initially, it was very frightening to have a tumor in my head and I experienced anxiety about the possibility that invasive surgery might be required.
When my tumor was diagnosed, the medical literature did not show a relationship between acoustic neuroma and cell phone use, but it does now. Initially, my doctor did not attribute the tumor to cell phone use. My current doctor does. Yet, the general public continues to use these phones and to give them to their children to use with little understanding of the possible health consequences. Now I often tell people about my tumor and the fact that research has proven that they are caused by cell phone radiation. The public needs to know this and our government needs to protect American citizens from this danger, especially vulnerable children. I do as much as I can to avoid exposure to radiation which is very difficult in a world where 5G is everywhere, xrays are often recommended, smart meters are forced on American citizens, etc.
I was an academic librarian when I started to lose the hearing in my right ear. That loss affected my ability to hear students who asked questions at the reference desk and to hear students during my presentations to classes. I have difficulty hearing people speak when there is a great deal of background noise and this affects my relationships and ability to communicate. I must position myself with my good ear closest to the person speaking in many situations in order to hear conversation. Sometimes I stop trying to hear.
Fortunately, as soon as I stopped holding the phone up to my ear, my tumor stopped growing. I have been watching and waiting for years now. My doctor believes that my tumor will not grow and I can avoid surgery. Others are not so lucky. I have seen patients at support group meetings who have experienced facial paralysis as a result of their surgery.
I object to being exposed to more and more unchecked radiation in the world that we live in and believe that it is unconscionable that our government has not protected its citizens from this danger. Data centers are springing up everywhere exposing the public to more and more technology and radiation. Technology companies should have to prove that their products are safe prior to putting them on the market. Instead, citizens are injured and must prove that the technology caused their injury. How many of those children now using cell phones will have tumors like mine in 10 years or cancerous tumors as a result of cell phone radiation?
Therefore, I wholeheartedly 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 am very lucky that my tumor has only taken my hearing in one ear and has stopped growing. Others will continue to experience these tumors until the health of American citizens is prioritized and companies are required to prove that their products are safe before they can sell them.
I used to laugh at people that believe in this, now I know it’s real. I suffer from it. Every neurodivergent person, autistic person, highly sensitive person suffers from the effects of EMF. It affects us down to our cells. It is bringing harm to our lives and to our world. 6G internet isn’t better. Again, I used to scoff. Now, I see.
