Reports palpitations around Wi-Fi and severe discomfort near a transmission line, describes sleeping away…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I’m not sure why but I can’t have my wifi on in the house at all. My heart starts having palpitations and I get very emotional. My last dream home I bought was a few feet away from a transmission line and from day one my whole body felt like it was getting shocked. It was a living nightmare. I somehow got through RN school sleeping in my car away from the house. Finally we moved to the country and I’m fine. I just can’t have the wifi on so it stays off when I’m here! My child’s brand new school is getting built and there is a cell tower right above it. Please make it mandatory all cell towers have to be removed from a child’s school or with in so many feet. We know they cause cancer already so what are we waiting for

Describes an illness timeline after a home broadband change, including headaches, nausea, nosebleeding an…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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.

Reports permanent sudden hearing loss and earlier ear ringing while living in a condominium during pregna…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
To whom it may concern, Upon seeing the you tube video on this study, I thought of an area to evaluate that may pertain to public health. When living in a condo in Canyon Country, California from 2005 to 2017, the utility company began doing some type of electronic meter reading in our community at some point. During these years I was either pregnant or nursing babies most of the time. While at home in the condo, I would periodically hear a strange type of ringing in my ears at a certain frequency, as if a scan was going through the area. It is possible my experience was caused by reconnaissance scans, the WiFi used for my husbands remote architecture work on his computer, or some other unknown reason. Our family also had cell phones. I experienced SSNHL in my right ear in October of 2014 that was permanent. The doctors said, it was most likely caused by damage to the small hairs in the inner ear, and was more common in pregnant people. At the time, I believed it was from exposure to some type of virus going around, possibly in active military member circles of the United States Air Force, or defense communities of the Antelope Valley near Lancaster, California. I thought I should share this with you. Thank you for your care for the American people, and your dedicated service. It’s a true blessing to be in our country. Warm regards, Stacey Matthews

Reports tinnitus and vertigo in an urban wireless environment, with no further vertigo after moving to lo…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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 concerned member of the public and as one who is negatively affected by man-made electromagnetic radiation. I personally suffer from tinnitus and severe vertigo. When I was living in a city with smart meters, cell towers, neighbors wi-fi, etc. my symptoms were becoming more severe as time went by. About 2 years, ago we moved to an acreage where the emf levels are low the great majority of the time and since we have moved here I have not had any more vertigo attacks. In my opinion, man-made electromagnetic radiation is the latest, greatest environmental pollutant and it has become ubiquitous in our present world. Many people as well as all life in the environment is negatively affected, as we have evolved to function in the natural electromagnetic environment. 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 chiropractor describes patient and neighborhood illnesses near a tower, reports common neurological com…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I'm a chiropractor. A while back a couple I had been treating started devloping odd symptoms that did not fit their previous patterns. A huge cell tower had been put up about a hundred yeards from their house. I begged them to move but it kept being put off. She developed atrial tribulation and he died of multiple myeloma. PLUS – each neighbor next to them died of cancer along with their dogs, also of cancer. I commonly see insomnia, headaches and agitation with patients exposed to high wi-fi microwave radiation. I surmise that microwave radiation increases inflammation throughout the body and some people can handle it better than others depending upon many factors. Personally I have a meter to measure wi-fi and do not spend any time in high radiation. Consequently I am much less social than I used to be, not going to restaurants, concerts etc. The health effects of microwave radiation need to be QUANTIFIED!!!! so people can know and regulate what they are dealing with. The proliferation of microwave without adequate investigation is CRIMINAL!!! FCC and government malfeasance is KILLING people!

Reports fatigue, head buzzing and difficulty thinking after installation of Wi-Fi expanders, with perceiv…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
We have wifi expanders in my home. The day they were installed I felt extremely tired and had a buzzing in the front of my head. About a week later, I felt even worse and could barely wake up. I asked the person that installed them if they have a strength or if they can be turned down. he told me that they are turned up as high as is allowed. I asked him to turn them as low as he can and show me how to turn them off so we can sleep with them off. I think I no longer feel it at the low level, only at the very high levels. My husband tested things by having the tech turn them up again and randomly keeping them on and each time, within a few hours, I complained of fatigue and a buzzing between my eyes in my head and an inability to think. I believe it's impacting my thinking and possibly making me feel as if I have chronic fatigue symptoms, brain fog and headaches.

Reports disabling electromagnetic sensitivity, homelessness and a shielded tiny-home solution. Attributes…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have had and am still having so much sensitivity to EMF's and it has disabled me. I started working in a county office in Coconino County AZ, where we had a cell phone tower dressed up to look like a pine tree. It was at the end of the parking lot from where I sat at my desk. I did not feel the radiation while working there but believe that this is what over sensitized me, starting my condition of EMF hypersensitivity. I gradually became more and more sensitive to EMF's from 2013 onwards until I was unable to tolerate being around electricity in general. Radio frequencies, including cell phones, cell phone towers, wifi routers, blue tooth, etc all are very uncomfortable and even cause me physical pain. I was homeless for quite a while because I was unable to tolerate living in a house with even electricity, as the electric and magnetic fields from those became unbearable to me as well. (While I was living in Tucson AZ, it had become really bad as we had a cell phone tower installed at the top of our street as well as one down at the bottom of our neighborhood. And also had our house encircled with people with solar instillations which also put off a high dirty electricity filed, and then we had 5G put down our alley, smart meters on every house, and I then was unable to tolerate living there. During this time several of my older neighbors began falling more often and eventually one broke their hip and the others mild dementia became severe, the one who broke their hip passed away from complications, and then the one with mild dementia who became severe needed to live in a care facility and passed away quickly. My mom had several heart attacks after their putting in the increased radio frequency generating devices, I had neurological issues that started during that time period and we disabling, as well as several others in my neighborhood had neurological issues begin and many had heart related conditions with another on my street passing away within months of the "upgrade". I can still feel radio frequencies and I find myself turning my head and looking at them as I pass by cell /data towers, not intentionally, it is just something that happens. I eventually built a tiny house out of a shipping container as a faraday cage to be able to handle living in their new modern environment with supposed "high tech" surroundings, towers, wifi etc everywhere. And at least now I have a safe place to live that doesn't hurt my body. I also back in 2017 had developed a breast tumor and cancer in my right breast because I always had my cell phone resting in that area tucked into my breast pocket. And then I started to learn and understand how dangerous that was, and now keep it in airplane mode every night and keep it away from my body at all times as to not be irradiated. These things are not safe and they are destroying our health. We used to be afraid of the higher SAR ratings that cell phones had when they were first coming out but now they have been deemed "safe" and in doing so people give them to their little children, and keep them in their pockets, and hold them directly against their heads unaware of the dangers of radio frequencies and in doing so are creating tremendous health consequences. Oh my goodness, I almost forgot to tell you that my sister Jennifer, has had a brain tumor that she had to have operated on that grew as a result of her having her phone against her head all the time for years and that was before they became as powerful as they are currently. I hope you are able to bring more awareness and reform to this issue and bring more safety to others so that we don't end up sterilizing our next generations. And for people like myself so we can be out in public more without ending up in pain.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
When I am struggling with motivation the first thing I do is turn off my cell phone and unplug my wifi. I can feel the difference in my whole body when my phone is off vs on especially in my hands. Pressure headaches, nausea can be felt more with using Bluetooth headphones, removing the Bluetooth connection causes instant “relief”

Reports family concerns about television and school radiation, including grandchildren’s headaches; alleg…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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 and my family have been affected by radiation coming from televisions in our home. My grandchildren respond with headaches from all the radiation in their schools. There is a tendency for more illness because studies have shown that radiation causes illness. I believe that confusion and forgetfulness is part of an over bombardment of radiation waves and electromagnetic pulses because that two has been proven with experimentation and documented. HHS already knows this and is not done a thing about it. The public is becoming very much awake and the public has been educated now to the adverse and deadly effects of radiation and electromagnetic pulses. This needs to stop or we will all die from Exposure. Especially with AI data centers. All big corporations and elites are interested in as money while they kill themselves and the rest of the population for greed. Stop this progression of technology or it will stop humanity.

Reports a spouse’s sleep and heart symptoms after a smart-meter installation, improvement after an analog…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Our comment is related to SMART METERS and our own personal experience. We purchased a house in Lake Arrowhead CA. and the SMART METER was located just outside the window of our master bedroom. Within a few weeks my wife experienced sleepless nights, rapid heartbeat and hair loss. We were aware of EMF and 5G and decided to look at the SMART METER. I purchased an EMF meter and went outside to see what the SMART METER was putting out. I stood about two feet from the SMART METER and every 4 seconds it would "SYNC" and overload the EMF meter. According to SCE they only "SYNC" a few times an hour. We were able to "OPT OUT" of the SMART METER and went back to the old Analog meter. This fixed the problem. We now live in Big Bear CA. at our retirement home and have found we can't go to our town area because of a large 5G tower in the middle of it. My wife will get dizzy, eye twitches and loss of balance after a few minutes. I have hard wired our retirement home so there is no WIFI in the house. We do not sleep with our cell phone in the bedrooms.
