An inventor claims an EMF-related device improved wellbeing and behavior, proposes a brain-cilia mechanis…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
FIRST THE GREAT NEWS: We absolutely don't have have to claw at or fight against the trillion dollar telecom industry to remedy the harms EMFs have caused. As an inventor, it is easy to understand why questions regarding EMFs and our health sound incredibly complex and intractable. That's why I'm sharing a couple simple, yet wonderful stories about brain health and EMF. It should illustrate that simple solutions for EMF risks are quite possible in almost all cases. After the individual stories, I'll explain how EMFs have played a central role in improving BRAIN health in an astounding manner. My neighbors across the road had a habit of arguing loudly a great deal of the time. It was so frequent that I could hear them shouting half the time going out the door. We all understand that situations like that seldom improve, and if they do (fat chance!) it can take a long time and a lot of expensive effort. But in this case when a simple prototype of one of my community commons EMF inventions was activated, the fighting stopped. Immediately. And not just for a minute. In fact, from that very moment forward, they argued only twice over the next two years! I would submit to you that the reasons they argued so much is that they had felt irritated and didn't know why. But once the invisible EMF irritation was greatly lowered, they returned to their sweet loving selves. At the very same time, an 80-year-old friend at the other end of the block also changed her behavior. It's important to note that 'Mary' had previously suffered from two separate brain traumas, and was also quite sensitive to electromagnetic fields. She also uses a walker. She had become difficult to talk to on the phone in recent years after her brain bleed, Almost anything could trigger some sort of upset. This next part happened at the identical time. At the very same time as the transformations of the married couple, Mary became much easier to talk to. Her initial change for the better has remained ever since. A sudden improvement like that would appear to be impossible. Yet the shift was there in our very first phone call about a half-hour after the unit had been turned on. In fact, with an additional discovery that I implemented just five days ago, Mary has become a delight. Her further calmness began immediately. Her cheerful attitude continued the next day despite a road incident. One of her car's spark plugs started misfiring badly on a busy road forcing the car to repeatedly feel like it was dying and then lunging. Yet when she spoke to me about it later, she was full of excitement and gratitude. Yet another potential discombolulation popped up the very next day when she accidentally locked her keys in her car. She had to struggle with her walker about 200 yards up and down a hill in 90 dgree heat. She remained calm throughout - which was not her previous pattern. In fact, she never mentioned the incident to me on the phone after the situations were resolved. Prior to the new invention, each incident would have thrown her for a loop and then some. Can you imagine years of being the victim of these kinds of brain challenges, and then to immediately have a dramatic improvement in your emotional balance? The change was not just quite remarkable; it was and is profound. It's easy to understand how to fix the present assaults on our bodies with the following simple example. A phone or alarm clock that won't stop ringing can quickly drive us up a wall. In the same way, the repeating bandwidths irritate us in the tiniest ways even though they are silent. For example, they slow our brain's cilia (third ventricle) from doing their critically important tasks. We don't notice the partial impairment, but over time we react to the harm just the same. Meanwhile, we become irritated and possibly aggravated. There are so many other examples I would love to share with you, but the bottom line is this: we can make almost all of our EMF exposures dramatically safer. These results and others happened from my livingroom simply by hitting the play button, in fact. Once again, we don't have to fight or claw at a trillion dollar telecom industry. It's not an "us against them" solution at all. In fact, cell phone reception should improve as a side benefit. The improvements start happening instantly because the solutions operate at the speed of electrons. I have already done it on a small scale. Reaching a larger audience as a disabled senior citizen has limited my reach, plus my microphone has been turned off by both YouTube and "X." So your involvement could save the day in a jaw droppingly dramatic fashion. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you!

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Since the implementation of 5G in 2020 I have suffered ringing in my ears CONSTANTLY. It doesn’t go away unless I drive out of town and away from any towers. The relief once I’m away from towers is instant, MARKED and dramatic. Then as soon as I drive back into town the ringing comes back. I’ve had headaches, ringing in my ears, dizziness, sleeplessness, nausea from the constant distress and pain in whatever part of my body my phone is touching. You can’t get away from it. This is intentional and criminal what they are doing. I keep praying for a black out because I’m so tired of these distorted frequencies disrupting our natural rhythms. Eventually they will fall…. This simply is not sustainable.

A former healthcare professional attributes symptoms and temporary displacement to a wireless water meter…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am reaching out to HHS as an individual whose health was adversely affected following a smart meter activation to the water line in my home in January 2025. I had practiced as a professional in the health care field for 40yrs prior to leaving the profession. In January 2025, there was a notice on my house door that a smart meter was going to be activated to my city water line; I promptly phoned the city the next day and asked to sign a waiver to 'opt out'. My request was declined by two city affiliates with 'everyone is getting them' {previously, I had always had an option to 'opt out' of smart meters for water & electric}. Two days later, after I had made calls to 'opt out'. I experienced a spontaneous nose bleed (the first in my life of 69 yrs with no other contributing causes). I went on to experience a total of 3 spontaneous nose bleeds within 11 days; in the meantime, my health began to decline. I experienced brain 'fog', loss of hair, cough, shortness of breath (symptoms similar to pulmonary edema) I ordered a home nebulizer that I had used for my symptoms). I also noted that many of my symptoms were that of 'long' COVID - loss of smell/ taste, long lasting cough, sleep disorder, muscle weakness {I had never taken the COVID vaccine, nor had the COVID illness prior to the symptoms following the smart meter activation to my home}. As my symptoms progressed; I eventually left my home, after 6 weeks, in efforts to recover; as I continued to work with the city manager to have the smart meter removed from my home. After 2 1/2 more months, I returned to my home after the smart meter to my home had been replaced with the analog meter. I learned in the research that non-native emf's are square waveforms with 'spikes'. I have repeated asked different health care providers if the 'spikes' from the non-native emf waveforms may be causing persistent activation of the spike proteins within our body contributing to a constant source of inflammation? To date I have received no satisfactory response to this inquiry from a health care provider, only from an electrical engineer. I continue to recover, as it seems I have experienced a cascade of symptoms following-- perhaps even more sensitive to non-native emfs? and currently doing more cleanses as it seems my gut biome has been disrupted (another documented effect from non-native emfs). My energetic reserve, has yet to be restored. In the meantime, earlier this year, I have presented to the local city council 3 times for the city to reconsider installation of a cell tower 600-700ft from the public high school (providing 3 pages of research of cell towers and effects of non-native emf exposure, particularly to children). In spite of the information presented, votes approved for the cell tower installation, noting concern of the city being sued if installation of cell tower was rejected. From the research, I have concluded: People should have NEVER been exposed to non-native emf's without shields and/ or protections; especially of our children. 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.

A nurse practitioner reports disabling sensitivity following workplace wireless deployment, early retirem…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
April 2014, I became very ill. I worked in a hospital and they rolled out electronic charting on a Monday before Easter. The roll out included dozens of wireless computers on wheeled work stations for staff, on every floor of a 10 floor hospital. Tuesday, near the end of the day I noticed a headache starting. Each day, while at work, the headache began with in a couple hours of starting my shift. On Thursday at the end of my shift, the headache was unbearable. I rarely had headaches before in my life. This was a headache that began early in my shift and continued until well into the evening, each day after the wireless device roll out. At the end of the work week, I spent 48 hours in bed with a horrible headache, I was unable to get up, walk a straight line, or eat. I was also nauseated. At the end of the 48 hours, I was well enough to make Easter brunch for about 20 people. After another horrific week of headaches due to work, I took some time off and visited Greenbank WV. Within 48 hours, all my symptoms of difficulty with memory, word finding, movement, and nausea resolved. In fact, after just 10 days in Greenbank, I felt 20 years younger. I never felt that great after a vacation in my life. I spent months being medically tested for several potential causes, all were negative. Eventually I was sent to a specialty Environmental Health Clinic, where I was diagnosed with 'Electrosensitivity'. The medical director explained to me how I can shield myself in the hospital setting in order to be able to continue working. It did help but not enough. The shielding clothing needed to be replaced, because over time it was not sufficiently protecting me to be cognitively able to work. I figured out ways to double layer the clothing for more effectiveness. Sometimes I would notice I was becoming terribly ill before the clothing typically lasted, so I would add another layer of clothing. By the time I decided to retire early, I was wearing 5 layers of shielding material on my body and my head, and replacing it every 8 weeks. I am a nurse practitioner and had the kind of job I would have like to work at until 71 years old. However, there I was at 55, forced to retire for my own health. Disability was never in my vocabulary prior to becoming ill with this form of chronic radiation sickness, called 'electrosensitivity. I can't continue my work as an affiliate assistant professor in the local university's Faculty of Medicine. I can't continue working in any health clinic with wireless devices. I have to be very quick buying groceries etc., because when I am exposed for more than 20 minutes, I can feel sick for weeks after that. I can't travel on public transportation (planes, trains, buses), because they all have wireless routers. I can't even receive health care at a hospital because after 20 minutes, I feel horribly nauseated and have trouble thinking. The hospital has routers on the ceilings every 3-15 feet, and in every patient care room and office. I was once a very social person, who taught many graduate students and post doctoral students. This chronic illness with all the same symptoms of 'acute radiation sickness', has disabled me as a member of modern society. I am most upset at the seemingly unchecked, rampant roll out of wireless features in so many devices. I became ill with just one or two wireless devices and an exposure of 22 years. Many people I have met with electrosensitivity became ill approximately 22 years after their first wireless device exposure. Now people have wireless earphones, wireless watches, wireless utility meters, wireless appliances, cars routers, security cameras, baby monitors; the list is seemingly endless. Most research looks at one device and the amount of exposure from it before it causes cancer in animals. These days, people have an accumulation of multiple wireless devices and no one is measuring that accumulation of radiation before people become horribly sick. There is a threshold of radiation exposure for every person. It may be slightly different for everyone. Eventually, at this rate of exposure for everyone, we will all reach/cross that threshold of exposure, and won't be able to work, think, move properly, and have neuroendocrine disorders, or maybe even develop cancer like some of the laboratory animals did (NTP 2018, Rammazini 2018). The world health organization classified wireless technology as a 2B carcinogen in 2011. I don't want more humans to feel as sick as I do in the modern world. Unfortunately, "FEELING IS BELIEVING". When that threshold is crossed, there is no going back to wellness with wireless devices.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
The constant exposure to EMF radiation is a severely underlooked environmental issue with serious potential health impacts. A growing number of individuals are reporting complex physiological symptoms that shouldn't be brushed aside. Personally, I routinely suffer from facial flushing, unexpected nosebleeds, out of the blue on/off headaches and tinnitus. It is time for more transparency, deeper research, and real protective action!

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Three years ago, I discovered I could feel a pressure between my eyes, and sometimes in my chest, that I grew to understand as wavelengths when I walked past cell towers located on or near the crosswalks. Over the course of a year I noticed that being on a cell phone or computer would cause me to sweat and produce micro tremors that became debilitating. Since then I have undergone much treatment to improve my health. However, I continue to feel cell towers, cell phones, and Wi-Fi, making it challenging to navigate the world on a daily basis. I am able to last longer, but still experience negative affects from cell, phone Wi-Fi and cell tower exposure.

Reports longstanding electromagnetic sensitivity, gastrointestinal and neurological symptoms, personal fi…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
In 2005 restless leg syndrome developed after sleeping on a bed with a massage unit. My legs had weak nerves due to infantile paralysis (polio myelitis). Evidently the strong electric fields were affecting them. At the same time, due to constant cell phone usage, an abscess developed on the rim of my ear accompanied with heating. It was obvious to only use the speaker phone when using the cellphone. Around 2008, a diagnosis of Crohn's disease based on constant and severe diarrhea was diagnosed by doctors. Knowing my high sensitivity to electromagnetic radiation pollution (EMRP) it was now time to have the electric company come to measure levels at home. The levels were extremely high. Dirty electricity from neighbors systems were grounding to water lines creating an electric pathway through our home due to our clean pathway of our new ground to the water pipes from a new panel and new transformer in the alley behind the house as a perfect route. Blocking the water pipe transmission with a nylon coupling at the street reduced the problem, still my health continued to decline. Throughout the city are hot spots of EMRP. With more towers always being added, avoidance is impossible. By 2012 I had lost forty-five pounds, had no bowel control, exhausted and looking like a holocaust victim. I began preparing to get my things in order. A friend introduced me to a mitigating product that was amazing. It was from Germany and solved my problems at the time verified by no longer diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. By 2018, I had regained my weight and resumed a full schedule of work only to find a new environmental problem. In 2019 street work was in full swing for 5G. As thick wiring and repeater units overhead were rolled out destroying the ambiance of the streets the new 5G wavelength exposure produce a dramatic new change. Walking along the sidewalks my feet would heat up mimicking peripheral neuropathy, yet completely absent when walking in nature. Monitoring EMR and RF radiation levels throughout the city provided the answers. There are peaks and dips which appear to be the result of dirty electricity at ground level, possibly 5G along with strong antennas beneath the sidewalks, wiring and transformers above. Recent measurements at ground level are very threatening. According to building Biology Evaluation Guidelines (AC) for sleeping areas (SBM -2015) for medium frequencies <20 nT, 0 to 20 is low enough to have no impact. The measurements go on 20-100 is slight, 100-500 severe, and >500 extreme. When moving the meter toward the ground it goes up and up until one of the highest measurements is 2350 at sidewalk level. There are peaks and valleys of reading along certain streets consistently in the severe range. This fits an explanation for neuropathic symptoms when walking along streets. Measurements resulted in a zigzag pattern when walking the street to do errands. As of 2020 new EMR pollution from new towers and antennas and the additional 5G infrastructure and satellites forced my evacuation from family and friends to the country. In 2023 the natural electrical grid of the earth seems imperiled with satellite saturation. It seems the visible destruction of tops of trees, reduced insect populations and birds is combined with physiological changes. When visiting the city after three days there is a shrinkage of testicles and loss of weight. That was not occurring before. Now in 2026 even small communities are wired and full of antennas and sensors. To stay healthy mean to be house bound and when out pay the debt of detoxing over several days afterwards. This is not what Nature meant for humanity to endure. The necessities for AI, robotics, and communication are out of hand environmentally and though a millisecond slower communication could be allowed at a fraction of the exposure experienced in this country. Without any doubt, our health is directly affected by many toxic environmental problems. Electromagnetic radiation is the most pervasive! Our entire biological system, and that of the planet Earth, is based upon cellular health and the energy function of the mitochondria which transfer nutrients and waste via water molecules in a gel state that requires electromagnetic wave lengths to function properly. When this extremely sensitive biological act is impacted by our exposure to electromagnetic radiation energy far in excess of normalcy- all hell breaks loose!

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am submitting this comment in response to HHS's request for information on EMF's and RF. I am responding from a perspective as a healthcare professional, parent, and as a concerned citizen. I am making this comment to HHS to tell how the EMFs and RF have affected me and others. 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. I have been affected by the EMFs on planes. As I had a 4-hour flight, that had a TV screen on the back of every seat on the plane. The EMFs caused me to get very anxious, and nervous, my body had like a tingling though my whole body, and I could not sleep at all. The next flight was a smaller plane which had no TV screens, and I was able to sleep and had no symptoms. This was no coincidence as it happened again on the return flight after having a relaxing vacation. The bigger plane had the screens and same symptoms appeared, and on the smaller plane, it had no TV screens and I had no problems. this affected me for weeks after the plane trip. I also feel this way when I am around Wi-Fi too long. Other friends and family have had the same experience and getting nervous and anxious for days after. This is a disruption to our brain and nervous system for the bad. We must cut down on the power this type of radiation as all radiation has serious health issues, which, can cause brain cancer and tumors, science has already shown this. The agencies must address this and protect the public from this onslaught against our health and sanity

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to 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 an educator. I vividly remember when our school building installed wireless routers throughout the building. This is the time where I began to get headaches and a heavy head feeling. I would feel overly stressed, and my nervous system would feel revved up. When we reached a one-to-one computer program, where every staff member and every child in the building had a device, these feelings became worse. In a building with over 1,300 students and over 200 staff all with devices, the EMF radiation was saturating. As a consequence, I began to feel adrenal burnout. It wasn't until I left the building entirely with another career, did I realize the debilitating effect it had on my body, thinking and energy. It was my experience that as children spent more time on devices in school, their attention spans seemed to decrease. Not to mention, staff attendance began to steadily decline. Teachers seemed less resilient and more frustrated. There's absolutely no doubt that the impact of invisible wireless technologies and radiation exposure was being felt by both students and staff. 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. Lastly, 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.
