Smart meters

When the new meters went into my neighborhood, I started having headaches and soon my ears started ringing. I always used an ethernet for internet and kept cell phone usage to speaker or ear corded headsets. I opted to keep my analog meter and then had to pay a monthly fee to do so. I moved in Aug 2025 due to the increased symptoms and increased wifi signals that were coming through my home 24/7 that were increasing my fatigue and other symptoms. My new location is in a sparsely populated area and just got a tower last November. The signal is not terribly strong through my house but, I noticed increased symptoms anyway. There was a smart meter on the side of the house. There was NO analog option, so I enquired with the power company and had the meter removed from the house and placed at the property line 56 1/2 feet away. The ringing and fatigue are minimal and no headaches now. The ringing has diminished to a small sound that is livable. I could only afford to do this because of the funds from selling my home otherwise I would have had to move to somewhere with No meters and towers nearby. It is extremely concerning that people with these sensitivities are NOT being listened to at all. Many have been cast as NUTS by their doctors that are ignorant of the effects of strong fields. Just look at what directed energy weapons are capable of doing and then tell me this is some kind of imaginary condition. There is a location in the Carolinas where there is a large telescope that is in a valley protected from ALL of these signals so the telescope can operate and many people with these sensitivities have moved to that area of the country and recovered. We are the CANARIES of the COAL MINES! I do not give my permission to be experimented upon by a deaf government or private business that has MONEY as their only goals. Studies have been done and continue to prove the damaging health effects of WIFi and 5g. Denmark has removed wifi from all schools. If there was no health issue, they would have NOT done so. What will it take to make regulators stop ignoring the science? I wish to have this placed into the Congressional record. What I have said and experienced is by no means unique. Please act like life and health really matter. What is the point of having the science and regulation if you only ignore that and strive to accommodate big business interests and money. How much is your life worth? How about your children, parents, siblings and friends? Would you finally act to do something if one of those were adversely affected by these types of signals and radiation? What will you say to Our Heavenly Father someday if you have to explain WHY you did nothing? Please, please think about it seriously. The greatest challenges can be the biggest opportunities to create something that solves the problems. It would be so awesome if you stopped removing telephone lines and gave people the option to restore that service as it is safer than cell phones. Thank you for the opportunity to say all of this. This book was too large to attach so please look at it here and READ it. https://www.amazon.com/Handbook-Biological-Effects-Electromagnetic-Fields/dp/0849306418 There are many sites where you can read this for free. And it is already available on this government site https://www.osti.gov/biblio/5641722 Why is it being ignored????????????????????????

I have been deeply affected by wireless radiation. It affects my heart and my brain giving me headaches , heART palpitations, insomnia, memory loss, disorientation and dizziness especially when in facilities like hospitals, schools, government buildings etc. I cannot use cell phones for the same reason and I now live like a hermit on an isolated mountain away from towers and smart meters. I am 74 years old and cannot socialize anymore or go on trips, fly or travel by train because everything is WIFid to the nines and everyone carries and always has on their mobile phones. The other issue is that everyone is expected to use cell phones for "verification" of identity. This become a nightmare for those who are disabled by densified RF fields, arthritis, poor vision, dyslexia and other conditions not conducive for using a smart phones. The fact that all phone booths have been removed to force people into the use of this dangerous equipment is reprehensible . I almost died on a trip I took because I was exposed to hundreds of towers and got disoriented and lost and drove 7 hours out of my way because there were no longer phones along the HYWY where I could call for help. I STOPPED AT MANY REST STOPS AND ASKED FOR HELP AND EVERYONE USED THEIR PHONES TO TELL ME I WAS GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION WHEN I WAS GOING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION AND MY EXIT WAS 7 hours behind me! I had to stay in a hotel that really made me sick due to the WIFI and I could not sleep at all and had to drive to my destination the next day being disoriented with a migraine headache and deadly tired. I was weaving on the road while cars sped by me at 80 MPH! I was not able to call anyone to tell them what happened to me and I was reported as a missing person. Many people are marginalized due to this health condition and are living in cars looking for a safe sanctuary and have been made homeless. This is serious and this dangerous technology needs to be banned unless it can be used safely and so far it is not at all safe from any living organism, If there had been one phone both at a gas station or a rest stop none of that would have happened to me except for the health affects of driving in a soup of RF radiation.

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 (myself), as I first experienced ill effects when Dominion Power installed a smart meter on my home without my consent and with the local cell towers being erected around our community.3 years ago. I experience closing of my ventricles in my brain and being diagnosed with hydrocephalus without cause. I had to have a stent put into my skull to drain fluids since my ventricles no longer were working. Wireless radiation has affected me as I now must wear protection and hardwire all internet connections in order to use devices. I am not able to be near cell towers and other strong wifi without protection as I get dizzy and disoriented. This effects everyday life for me as I must be sure to be careful as not to be without my protective devices and have my phone on airplane mode most of the time. I think people affected by wireless radiation should be educated and informed of any and all ill effects of this technology, and I believe HHS should address this issue. We have a body that has electrical and vibrational in nature. 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 also feel that government agencies have a duty and an oath to protect us sovereign citizens, as well as everything in nature, in regards to this. 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, families, health care providers, researchers and scientists with an opportunity to be finally be heard on this critical public health issue. thank you

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!

Docket (HHS-OASH-2026-0397) I’ve been following the research on EMF radiation for over 10 years and it never ceases to astonish me, and at the same time disturbing, how the rollouts continue one after the other without any regard for human lives, animal life and the environment being destroyed to mine for these materials to make technologies that claim to be cleaner and greener. Far too long overlooked and of equal importance, is the human energy field and it’s role in maintaining health and vitality and what role foreign energy fields play in disrupting this health, vitality from the interactions of natural endogenous and foreign energy fields. We have been incrementally and systematically separated from the Earth’s natural energy fields with shoes that are not compatible, toxic clothing and other disconnects contributing to increased acute disorders and chronic illnesses. Our society has been selling us biologically incompatible goods for quite some time now. As an individual with lived experience and a healthcare professional I didn’t realize the impact until I started to experience symptoms. I began reducing all sources EMF in my home at the time instinctively before I had symptoms because it just felt right based on the reasearch. It wasn’t until after moving from a low EMF area to a high EMF area did my body system experience a type of shock, seizure like activity and development of ME/CFS, dysautonomia, migraines almost on a daily basis, carbohydrate intolerance, anxiety and chronic pain. I now know there are millions of others out there like me who are suffering daily by the continuous overabundance of towers/base stations, smart phones, laptops, wifi, electric & hybrid cars and smart meters and yet for the severe, these services and devices are their only connection to the outside world but what if, they are unknowingly worsening their symptoms and preventing recovery? We shall see in the forthcoming citations in this comment. ....... Complete paper with citations attached

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

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
