Requests a modern, independent reassessment of RF limits and cumulative, lifelong and multi-source exposu…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
To the Department of Health and Human Services and the Federal Communications Commission: I am submitting this comment because I believe the federal government has waited far too long to conduct a thorough, modern reassessment of radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure standards and their ability to protect the public. The FCC adopted its RF exposure limits in 1996. Wireless technology and our exposure environment have changed dramatically since then. We have moved through multiple generations of cellular technology while wireless infrastructure and the number of wireless devices surrounding us have greatly increased. Yet the fundamental FCC RF exposure limits remain unchanged. The question should not simply be whether an individual antenna, tower, or device complies with an existing limit. Federal agencies should determine whether those limits adequately address the real world environment people live in today. People are not exposed to one RF source at a time. We may encounter cell towers and antennas, WiFi routers, cell phones, tablets, Bluetooth devices, smart devices, security systems, and other wireless technologies throughout the day. I am especially concerned about infrastructure located near places where children, older adults, and other potentially vulnerable populations spend significant amounts of time. This includes daycares, schools, 55 and older communities, senior housing, assisted living facilities, and residential neighborhoods. Children may experience wireless RF exposure for virtually their entire lives. Older adults, people with implanted medical devices, workers with substantial occupational exposure, and people with existing health conditions also deserve appropriate consideration. Technology continues to advance rapidly. Public health research and exposure standards should advance with it. There is scientific evidence that deserves serious consideration. The U.S. National Toxicology Program conducted large animal studies of RF radiation and reported findings including malignant schwannomas of the heart in male rats under certain exposure conditions. Research from the Ramazzini Institute and subsequent systematic reviews has added to the scientific literature. At the same time, some human epidemiological research has not found increased risks for several health outcomes. Differences in findings should not be used as a reason to stop investigating. They are a reason for better research. Scientific uncertainty should not become an excuse for continued inaction while wireless technologies and infrastructure continue to expand. I am asking HHS, the FCC, NIH, FDA, CDC, NIEHS, and other appropriate agencies to support rigorous, independent research into cumulative RF exposure, multiple simultaneous RF sources, lifelong exposure beginning in childhood, potentially sensitive populations, reproductive and developmental effects, neurological and biological effects, cancer outcomes, occupational exposure, and current and emerging wireless technologies. Federal agencies should also evaluate real world RF environments around daycares, schools, senior communities, assisted living facilities, and residential areas where people may experience prolonged exposure. The public deserves transparency. Americans should be able to understand when exposure standards were established, the scientific assumptions behind them, how compliance is determined, what research supports them, what research raises concerns, and what remains unknown. I am not asking federal agencies to presume the outcome of the science. I am asking them not to presume the answer before adequately investigating the questions. After three decades of extraordinary changes in wireless technology, the American public deserves a comprehensive reassessment based on today's technologies, today's exposure environment, and today's scientific evidence. Technology should not advance faster than our willingness to investigate its potential effects on human health. I respectfully urge HHS and the FCC to conduct the rigorous, independent, transparent review this issue deserves and to ensure that protection of public health, including potentially vulnerable populations, remains a priority. Thank you for the opportunity to comment. Gina Paeth

Reports family symptoms, repeated displacement and difficulty finding accommodation attributed to towers …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
We were a healthy family until 2021 our health significantly declined. Little by little we started noticing we were having issues with 5g towers it started with my daughter's legs would go numb driving past 5g towers then she would be okay after. After we started traveling I had non stop brain fog at our home the 5g towers were 2.5 miles away. It was so bad I would rush to get ready for the day pack up the kids and go have fun at the parks just to get away and feel better. Then the cell tower crash happened 2025 for 4 hours no brain fog I felt so great at my home then cell phones started working and my brain fog came instantly back. We found a better place right next to neighbors with 5g hotspot which we didn't know existed. We all started having signs of radiation poisoning rashes, GI bleeds and sores. My daughter all of a sudden started complaining about a headache when at home we would leave she would be fine. Second day of this I started getting jittery and chest pains at home. My husband had our one vehicle at work. We spent the day walking the side of the roads and hanging out because our home made us so sick. My husband figured out it was 5g hotspot from our neighbors when he did a wifi search. He talked to the neighbors asked them to turn it off which they did for couple hrs we all felt so much better until it came back on and instantly headaches, chest pains and jittery again. Third day I couldn't be on the property at all I was having trouble breathing, brain fog, and very jittery I couldn't function. We had to move which you would think was simple but that's when we found out there was no place we could go without 5g towers. We moved away from the hotspot but closer to a 5g tower until we could find a safe place. I got so bad I remember hiding in the woods because the trees blocked some signal. I was pregnant and having braxten Hicks being around the 5g. We finally found a safe place after messaging so many air bnbs and hip camps because nobody gives you an address. It took me two weeks to recover from that. I could barely walk I was so weak. We want back home to Wisconsin expecting a safe home but instead found out we had no safe place due to 5g. We were allergic to the towers at our home that we lived at for 7 years, our friends homes, and most campgrounds. Finally found a safe place an hr away until they started updating towers up north to 5g. We moved south as our state wasn't working for us we had no place to be and God told us to go. Our first home we got radiation poisoning again from our neighbors 5g hotspot same story. The day we left I couldn't even walk my legs were so weak I just laid on the ground holding my baby who was napping I had no strength to physically move. When my husband brought the truck up for us to leave it was all I could do to get myself in. We tried so many campgrounds all had 5g wifi or 5g towers. One campground we were there 15 min my baby started screaming nonstop he never screamed. My son started rolling around on the floor screaming about his stomach hurting. I was so weak I barely could get my kids in the car but as soon as we left all the kids stopped screaming we were fine. We to this day can't be around 5g towers and avoid towns with 5g. For almost two years we felt like refugees in our own country no place to go that was safe and we physically couldnt be around 5g for long periods of time. God moved us to a county that bans 5g and we found some safety and normal life again. But there's only two small towns safe for us to go into the bigger towns we get headaches and other health issues and physically can't be there long. It's definitely limited us but we are thankful that we found some safety by our home at least.

Calls for substantially lower exposure, removal of smart meters and a return to older technology. Alleges…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
We really need to lower the EMF radiation lower than what Europe does. The EMF radiation is killing us. There is an unclassified document dated back just after ww2 and even that far back they knew Microwaves cause cancer and sterilization, but didn't report it. We also need to remove all smart meters which are just as bad. We need to go back to full on analog for everything, and really dumb down this push to AI everything. I use a EMF meter and when set to EF which means Electrical field it can go very high to well over 1000vm. From what I read anything over 10 vm is high, so just think how unhealthy 1000 vm is to the human body. Regardless what they say about EMF and how it's harmless it's not. EMF also is in the mountains now, so we can't escape it with towers ever few miles or so. RF signals encompass the earth with Radio signals etc. and it's very unhealthy now. So if we took steps to protect us we would take steps to protect the wilderness too which is why our forests are dying like they have been sine WIFI began... We really need to downgrade back to like 1g and even lower those levels too and not allow 5g or 6g. WIFI is the signal most threat along with AI to mankind!

Alleges long-running electromagnetic and vibration attacks, cancer, arrhythmia and livestock deaths and r…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Where to start? I've been bombarded with all types and frequencies of EMF. I identify at least 3 types for 12 years. EMF, Microvibration & Macrovibration. I've all the while tried to develop countermeasures, without any real success. I've won many times, but eventually, they always get by them. In fact, after many years of avoiding purchasing lead, I broke down and bought 5/16' lead plating sufficient to cover my bed at night, since that's when they attack for the obvious reason that people are sleep and immobile. Microvibration is the system they use to basically invade the human body, and really, they can do a lot of things with it. It's been involved with creating cancer in my body. I was hit with a massive, massive does of EMF on Nov 7th or 8th of 2017. I describe the pain level I felt on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the highest. The pain was higher than a 9. Fortunately, the pain last less than 3 minutes, about 95%. Thank goodness. The surprising thing was and the reason I was sure it was EMF from a celltower is because the EMF left absolutely no evidence at all. My skin looked absolutely normal, so it wasn't a bullet, arrow or anything like a conventional weapon. Since then I've experienced EMF, Microvibration and Macrovibration almost every day since 2016 at least. I've been shot in the top of my head with EMF/Microvibration down to about 2 inches. I have 3 celltowers within 5 miles of my home. My working hypothesis is 4G 3-panel beaming forming arrays and 5G arrays can kill anybody! So, we're all sitting around waiting for the celltowers to go mainstream. Why do I think that? Because, had they shot me on Nov 7 or 8 in the head or heart, I would be dead today. YOU CAN COUNT ON IT! Richard Lighthouse holds an MS in Mech Engineering from Stanford has said the Threat Fusion Center on N Shepherd in Houston has a celltower that can kill anybody from 100 miles away. Two mornings ago I was sleeping in my new truck in Porter, TX waiting to sign checks for my bookkeeper. About 5 am I awoke with massive EMF to my chest and immediately recognized they had given me an arrythmia, a very serious one. I began to pray aggressively. Within about 30 minutes the arrythmia had largely abated and I lived. This was the 3rd time they'd hit me with what it takes to cause an arrythmia. I had no symptoms other than a heartbeat that was clearly out of rythm to a massive degree. EMF. From 2018 to 2021 in July, I had a herd of 121 axis deer. During that time I only had 1 baby axis, which is impossible since axis does can have 3 babies in 2 years. The 1 baby lived and I sold it within 4 days for $500. Then in July, 2021 the Huntsville Exotic Auction called me, a woman I knew, and offered me $800 each for ever axis deer I owned. The Freeze of February, 2021 in Texas killed a lot of native and non-native deer. I should have owned more than 400 head of axis by then, and I didn't have any to sell, costing me well more than $320,000 (I've attached some photos) One attached photo show my #1 axis buck and 3 does I found one morning all dead together where I was able to touch all 4 from the same spot. We moved the axis buck out to take a few photos. He was originally in the middle of the 3 does. I took him very reluctantly to the Large Animal Clinic at Texas A&M University for a necropsy. I was very reluctant because of the trip and $400 for the necropsy. I asked them to spare no expense. 10 days later I got the necropsy back and it showed that they could not tell how the buck died, which is what I predicted and expected, so why take it? Believe it or not, I attributed the breaking of my reluctance to Jesus Christ. In one of those very few times things like that can be attributed to him. I felt he wanted me to do it. In 10 days I went again to College Station and asked to meet with the 3 tops veterinarians. We discussed the necropsy & their findings. I pulled out my photos & showed them the 3 other dead does. I showed them 3 dead deer I found one evening. I didn't have my camera, so I decided to come back the next day & document the scene. Two does heads almost touching, and a buck about 2' away. The following morning I found 5 dead deer, and 1 of the new ones was laid over the body of the buck that died the day before. People did that. In both cases, 1 buck and 3 does, and then 1 buck and 4 does, well, DEER DONOT DIE THAT WAY. There's many other examples just like them, but I have 527 letters left. So I'll say, I haven't even started on the teleportion, cloaking suit, clacking gun and a myriad of other events I've experienced in the last 12 years. I will say one last thing. After 18 months I've concluded there's is at least a partial hologram over the entire night sky, and drones and manmade UFOs are occupying the places many stars should occupy, like the Big Dig, which is 304 Light Years away or 611 Trillion miles. Don't believe me? WATCH AND LEARN, I have a lot of evidence. MUFON is now under FBI control.

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.

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.

Reports perceived improvements after reducing device and meter exposure and hand tingling during phone us…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have been studying the effects of harmful EMFs for the past few years and as a result I have taken precautions to turn my cellphone on airplane mode when not in use, to disable smart connections in my appliances, and to switch my digital meter to an analog one. My sleep score has increased and my vitamin d levels have improved. I have a more regualqted nervous system and my immunity has gone up. I have noticed though that when using my cell phone for a prolonged period of time 15 mins or more I feel a tingling sensation in my hand that radiates up to my arm. This is not carpal tunnel. It’s the effect of electromagnetic radiation. It’s much less noticeable when my phone is set to LTE versus 5g but it’s still there. The fact of the matter is that our bodies are electromagnetic beings and EMFs disrupt our natural biology. It makes your blood stagnant, it impairs circulation, and it prevents the bodies natural ability to send bodily signals and functions. The FCC must be held to the same standard other regulatory bodies are to create safety for humans. We are living in a time of the largest unprecedented experiment on the human body. Our children’s lives depend on it. The rise of data centers and cell Phone towers are creating infertility in animals, so I can only imagine the impact to humans.

Asserts that wireless exposure causes cancer, neurological problems and birth defects, without providing …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
EMF, RF, & Wireless Radiation Exposure is a huge health risk for all humanity & does not discriminate. It causes cancer, thyroid, brain damage, digestive issues, brain interference, vision problems, birth defects, & many more health issues that are just inhumane to not let the public know. It is time for a change to where humanity is aware that being hurt or injured can also be by something you can’t see like EMF, RF, & Wireless Radiation Exposure. If they’re movies about similar events, it is because these conspiracy theories are true. All conspiracy theories are true. Thank you.
