Neurological symptoms & sleep

I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. In the past around 8 - 9 years I have not been able to sleep well. The lack of sleep made me very tired during day time. Over the years I tried herb teas, various supplements, they did not make any difference. A few months ago, I decided to turn off wifi in the house. Surprisingly I started to sleep well. At first I thought it was coincidence but it has been a few months now and I continue to sleep well. I feel so much better and more energy during the days. I am so happy that HHS is 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. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard and please continue to do that.

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 very concerned member of the public. I have concerns about wireless radiation for our home and our extended family. I have been on a detox journey of health for 9 years, having experienced cancer personally and being a caregiver for parents as well. Wireless radiation does impact our health and we know so little about the long term impact. Our current physical world and food and environment have all become toxic so that we generally accept disease as "normal" - but it doesn't have to be this way. As we have worked at detoxing our bodies, we limit the time on our phones, store them in another room so that we can have deeper sleep. It is noticeable when we don't - brain fog, for one. I believe this topic of wireless radiation needs to be independently assessed with the perspective of maximizing the health of our population, not to harm. If the agenda is anything else, we will be treated as consumers of whatever products that are designed to manage our symptoms, instead of end them. 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.

As a mother and grandmother I am highly concerned about radiation's exposure. I have been harassed but two utility company’s trying to put smart meters on my house. I was over charged by them and more. We have to pay extra fees. I saw a burned down house in KY that two people died and looked like started by a smart meter. 5G towers are everywhere and close to schools and homes. I know people harmed by them. Most parents have Apple Watches on next to baby’s heads. I am around children and I can tell you they don’t sleep as well and likely sicker. It has to stop. All the smart technology is bad for us. We have to pay for things that might protect us. It’s a scam and harming us! Sitting around a fire pit is very healing, you can cook on it and it keeps you warm. The WiFi radiation is causing mold issues and killing the trees and plants.

I have been coping with the effects of wireless radiation for over a decade now. At first I was getting extreme migraine and no doctor could find the reason. Then someone suggested I turn off my wifi and that made all the difference! I had to move because they were planning on putting a 5G tower near my home. I did much local advocacy at the city and county levels but to no avail. I cannot work in my prior place of employment and cannot stay in hotels. All due to EMFs from wireless radiation and the extreme migraines it gives me. Our bodies were not designed to endurw this and my body is evidence.

About two years ago, the level of 5G radiation in my building increased noticeably. It was so dangerously high in my bedroom (according to a radiation measuring device I bought to test it) that I had to change sleeping places, and ended up sleeping in my bathroom, where the radiation level was more moderate. I have been permanently deafened by my exposure to this high level of radiation in my home. My hearing is impaired and I notice that it gets worse in high radiation areas. I am terrified of an increased level of radiation in my area, as I have already been damaged.

I have used a smartphone, computer, laptop, internet, etc... for a large number of years for personal and work related activities. I limit my use and also use EMF blocking cards(?). I have had reoccurring blackouts for over 10 years which have led to 2 seisures that I am aware of. Nothing has been revealed from medical scans.

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, healthcare professional, and concerned member of the public. I personally can not sleep with the 5G wifi router on. Having researched this issue, I have found overwhelming evidence about the health dangers of on our health, fetuses, children and animals. I am requesting that this issue be taken seriously.

I am so glad to have the opportunity to have input about the damage to my health this has caused. 2 1/2 years ago I rented a house and had 1.24 Ac. with a large 30' x 30' vegetable garden. I grew elderberries, blueberries, raspberries, haskap berries, rhubarb in a separate berry garden. I also had a lawn to mow and 15 chickens & a coop to maintain. It was a lot of work for a 75 yr. old female, but I take a lot of vitamins, do not smoke or drink; I exercise and visit my chiropractor once a week; I was in great shape for my age. Then, the landlord decided to sell the property I'd maintained for almost 10 years & now I have no gardens, no chickens and live in a small, low income senior apartment as it was all I could afford (my rental house had been 1/2 the price). Within 2 weeks of moving in, I developed a horrific, itchy rash on my forehead and arms.It took almost 6 weeks to get rid of it with red lite therapy, homeopathy & coconut oil. I started having insomnia the 1st week & it has gotten progressively worse--I cannot get to sleep until 5 A.M. some days. One day I noticed a CELL TOWER 60 yds. from my bedroom window. I couldn't believe it....WHY would they endanger seniors with a cell tower so close by??? Things got progressively worse for me, I now have CANCER in my left breast. I've had numerous recurrences of the itchy, nasty rashes on my arms, face, neck. When I had dental surgery, I had an autoimmune reaction to Amoxicillin and the left side of my face swelled up for weeks. I had never had a problem with that drug until that day. Now I'm developing an allergy to the dog I've owned for over 9 years. There is an electric box in the center of each apartment bathing us in EMFs 24/7. There is no where in the small space to escape this. I've wasted money on pendants, special blocking curtains, a plug-in neutralizer----nothing works, nothing helps I've wanted to move out of here since the first week, but rents are too high in the current economy. My cancer meds (Ivermectin/Mebendazole) are costing me $315 every 45 days. I will NOT submit to radiation or chemo---they almost killed my younger sister with these. The only REAL solution is the REMOVAL of all CELL TOWERS near residences, schools, etc. where people have to be for hours. These damnable things are killing people. In the short 2 1/2 years I've lived here....3 seniors contracted & DIED of cancer. I'll probably be next since I cannot afford to move. My meds are ONLY treating the symptoms NOT the cause. PLEASE acknowledge & RESOLVE this problem. Listen to Robert Kennedy!!! He is by far the BEST head of HHS we ever had. Sincerely, Theresa S. Noullet

From 2004-2013 I lived just South of Downtown Minneapolis. 1 block off the freeway, my home was surrounded by EMF emitting towers. That home scores high in emissions - 84 out of 100 on EMF radar. I carried a cell-phone 24/7 as a Birth Doula and became very EMF sick. I had numbness in my hands/face that dramatically elevated when holding a cell phone, brain-fog and intense fatigue. After moving 50 miles NE of the cities and ditching a cell phone for 15 years, I have recovered. It took many years of hard work to heal completely, but the dramatic difference between carrying a cell phone and not was the loss of numbness in my face/hands within about 6-8 weeks. The brain-fog and fatigue took more time as I rebuilt my reserves back up.

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, a concerned parent, and a researcher. I recognized wireless radiation affected me back in 2014. Someone came a spoke at a school my children were attending about the effects of EMF. And as a parent it sparked my interest and I thought I would start testing it out, I didn’t feel well, but ate a clean diet (minimally processed foods) and exercised regularly. My first thought was I would turn off the wifi on the router at night. I didn’t notice much. My next experiment, I turned off our cell phones when we travelled, as we were regularly travelling 3.5 hours, twice a week, then I was convinced it was affecting me. I no longer felt ill in the car and felt like myself after a drive, rather then feeling woozy and nausea after a long drive.

Now I thought I would try putting the computers and phones into airplane mode at night …suddenly I was no longer restless in bed with racing thoughts. Some nights I let my husband turn things off, but still would feel restless, so I’d check if his phone was off and sure enough, he had forgotten to turn it off. So I’d turn it off and fall asleep. I’ve now hardwired my house. However, when I’m out in the “world”, I don’t like to be at indoor places too long as I don’t feel great.

As you can see from my experiments and finding greater health, the wireless signals concern me; for the sake of my family, as well as society as a whole. 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.
