Reports episodes of confusion, intrusive negative thoughts, heating and skin sensations associated with t…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have been debilitated by 5G technology on several occasions. I was parked in Sausalito, California enjoying an ocean view at a park and ride when I suddenly could not think, it was as if I was in a stupor. My psychology was scrambled and nothing made sense in that moment. I had the presence of mind to get out of my car to get fresh air, and noticed there there were several towers, both 5G and cellular towers. I frequently see clients in their homes, and one client has a very powerful Xfinity modem. When I am in the room that has the modem, negative thoughts race through my mind, then my whole body heats up and it stays heated until I turn off the modem. When I drive on the 101 freeway and pass a 5G tower, I can feel prickly sensation on my skin in different parts of my body and it definately changes my psychology for the worst. There is no safety data for this technology, there will never be safety data because it has been proven over and over again that this technology is toxic to humans.

My dad ended up dying of brain cancer. He was left-handed and he got the brain tumor on the left side of his head near his ear where he held his cell phone and all of us are convinced that's why he got brain cancer. In many ways wireless radiation really ruined my life. I have MCS multiple chemical sensitivity and everybody like me has a lot of problems processing chemicals and a sensitivity to electromagnetism. Usually they display one of the two a little bit more than the other one, but both sensitivities are always both present and no one seams to knows why. I have to pick houses based on how far they are away from the cell towers. Trying to get at least 2 miles away is almost impossible now and I use this website called antennasearch.com to help me. I can't be in the room with wireless routers and I always plug in the ethernet of my computer to avoid Wi-Fi because it really hurts me. When I was younger, I didn't feel electromagnetism and slowly overtime It's become a huge problem in my life. I don't know if I just have heavy metal toxicity and it's resonating inside me or what happened. For all of human history humans were only exposed to background radiation and then we upped that by billions of times and expected that there was no consequence when there really was. The thermal threshold argument for wireless safety clearly doesn't apply to me because it ruined my life. In the future we can use quantum physics and entanglement to do all the things we're doing wirelessly but without the non-ionizing radiation that's hurting me so eventually we might grow out of this problem. I remember seeing people that were studying all of these worms underneath a giant leaf and how all 30 worms would curl and uncurl all together and the people studying it thought it was some mating ritual or some thing, but then they realized it was actually a radar tower and whenever it's spun around and was facing the worms from miles and miles away is when they all would curl up at the same time and then they would uncurl when the radar faced away from them as the radar dish turned around. Wireless technology creates a magical and convenient world, but unfortunately it comes with problems that nobody wants to acknowledge that eventually ruins your life like me or gives you brain cancer like my dad and kills you. Just because it's non-ionizing radiation doesn't mean that there isn't consequences from using it the way humans are and my life is proof of that. If we use quantum entanglement instead of non-ionizing radiation we can have infinite bandwidth at any distance and so the benefits of moving on from this technology to the next thing is really high. Just know that people with MCS multiple chemical sensitivity and electromagnetic sensitivity are not making this up in a psychosomatic way. In the real world people don't want to pretend that their life is ending. Their lifes are actually ending from the stimulus of chemicals and the stimulus of electromagnetism and society just pretends that they're making it up as if it's not true. We put cell towers on the sides of hospitals, churches, and schools, and this is a huge mistake. It's causing an invisible stress on the body and overtime it's destroying people at a massive scale. Society isn't going to give up the convenience and magic that comes with wireless technology so the answer is to just move to the next technology with quantum physics and entanglement. Using things like nitrogen vacancy nanodiamonds we can probably have room temperature quantum effects and changed the world forever starting in the next couple years. Here's my dad's obituary so you know I'm not lying... https://tucson.com/lifestyles/announcements/obituaries/article_231262e2-2d0e-11e9-ac12-c75c99f75ff8.html

Describes EMF sensitivity, co-occurring chemical sensitivity and barriers to healthcare. Cites disability…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
As a Lived Experience Expert in EMF Sensitivity, I represent a growing population of patients sickened by our ever-growing blanket of EMF & RF exposure. For over two years now with the onset exacerbated by fiber optics installation and Smart Meter installation on my house, in addition to the endless Cell Towers in our neighborhood, my health declined drastically. Allopathic practitioners seem to lack knowledge to deal with this growing issue. So, seeking healthcare is useless. This growing concern includes the co-morbid conditions that sometimes present with EMF Sensitivity, like chemical sensitivity. The daily struggle to use devices like cell-phones or Wi-Fi connected devices is devastating. The remediation efforts in my own home have helped minimally with keeping symptoms at bay. They include Hard wire internet and a non-Wi-Fi router, and No Wi-Fi appliances. My symptoms include debilitating neurological, sensory, and physiological. In 2022 the National Council on Disability Framework included "#6.Provide mandatory industry guidance, including recommended policies, training and best practices, to address the needs of people disabled by exposure to low level chemical, electromagnetic, and other environmental exposures that preclude access to care and treatment at medical, dental and at other providers’ offices, hospitals, surgical centers, and other healthcare and healthcare–related facilities, as a result of their use of chemical, fragranced and other scented products, and also as a result of the usage of wireless communications and electrical technologies and other sources of non-ionizing radiation, which may trigger disabling and life-threatening cardiac, respiratory, neurological, and other adverse physical reactions. (Requires administrative action through HHS Office of Civil Rights, and further research concerning this matter should be conducted by the FDA, NIH, HHS, and HUD.)" The 2006 project of the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) with funding support from The Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (Access Board) reported that “There are a significant number of people who are sensitive to chemicals and electromagnetic fields. Surveys conducted by the California and New Mexico Departments of Health and by medical researchers in North Carolina found 16 to 33 percent of the people interviewed reported that they are unusually sensitive to chemicals, and in the California and New Mexico health departments' surveys 2 percent to 6 percent reported that they have been diagnosed as having multiple chemical sensitivities C. Miller and N. Ashford, "Multiple Chemical Intolerance and Indoor Air Quality," in Indoor Air Quality Handbook Chapter 27.8 (McGraw-Hill 2001). Another California Department of Health Services survey has found that 3 percent of the people interviewed reported that they are unusually sensitive to electric appliances or power lines. P. LeVallois, et al., "Prevalence and Risk Factors of Self-Reported Hypersensitivity to Electromagnetic Fields in California," in California EMF Program, "An Evaluation of the Possible Risks From Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMFs From Power Lines, Internal Wiring, Electrical Occupations and Appliances, Draft 3 for Public Comment, April 2001" Appendix 3.” The research already exists, and rather than waste money, let’s do more to protect the public with better updated FCC restrictions, and more stringent state and local laws that can expand on protecting the public, if they choose to do so. Consideration should be taken for all infrastructure to include the ability of those with medical issues to resolve them with low to no emf products like copper land-line availability options. Non-smart meters retained or installed with service fees outlawed, and notification services for tower installations within a two-mile radius of residents/busninesses. Restrictions on towers being in and near residential areas, and the protection of any already existing radio-quiet zones, with the consideration of providing one in each state.

Reports sleep disruption associated with a router under a guest bed and improvement after disconnection. …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Dear HHS, I am writing as an individual concerned about the potential health effects of exposure to electromagnetic radiation from wireless technology, including Wi-Fi routers and cell phones. I first became aware of a possible connection between my own sleep and exposure to wireless radiation approximately ten years ago. I was visiting a friend who had placed a Wi-Fi router underneath the guest bed. My son and I were unable to sleep properly for three nights. When we discovered that the router was directly underneath the bed and disconnected it, we were subsequently able to sleep normally. That experience made me much more attentive to my environment and to the possible effects of wireless exposure. Since then, I have devoted considerable time and effort to reducing wireless exposure in my home. I have even worked with a consultant who specializes in this area to help me create a wireless-free environment and reduce unnecessary exposure to wireless signals and cell phones. I recognize that individual experiences do not, by themselves, establish scientific causation. However, I know from my own experience that I notice significant physiological effects, particularly with respect to sleep, when I am exposed to certain wireless environments. This has led me to believe that this subject deserves continued serious and independent scientific investigation. I respectfully encourage HHS to look carefully at the existing research on electromagnetic radiation and wireless technologies and to support further research into possible physiological effects, including effects on sleep and other aspects of human health. I also believe it is important to listen to people who report experiencing symptoms or changes in their well-being associated with wireless exposure, even when the scientific understanding of those experiences remains incomplete. Thank you for your attention to this matter and for providing an opportunity for members of the public to be heard on an issue that I believe deserves thoughtful scientific consideration. Sincerely, Lydia MacLear

Reports tinnitus, seizures, sleep disruption, burning hands and visual problems attributed to wireless de…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Dear Mr Kennedy. I am Mark Leen from Ireland. I suffer tinnitus or ringing in my ears when wifi is on, watching youtube over wifi puts me to sleep even if ive just got up in the morn. Wifi has triggered Epileptic seizures in me, i was in a bar with very strong wifi and i got an attack that changed my life. My hands burn if i'm too long on a phone and my eyes are going blinder and i'm only 55. Long distance getting blurred and this was never the case. I can hear a high pitched ringing when todays smart tvs are runnimg around me. Everything seems to be wireless. If i were in your shoes, i would investigate how Animals react to wifi and radiation also. I do not get level 4 sleep which os vital for epilepsy if i leave the wifi switched on. I awake at 3 am with ringing in my ears. My seizure near a wifi terminal caused me broken nose and busted up face. May God bless you Sec Kennedy always. I will take your call anytime. I am a singer/entertainer who sung for previous president Clinton but ot would be an honour to sing for you and Pres Trump given the Kennedy Irish connection.

A pacemaker user reports severe symptoms and believes wireless and electrical equipment interfere with th…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
All stores are dangerous to anybody with a pacemaker. The wifi shuts off my pacemaker which makes me miserable. It takes 3 days to overcome the nausea in my brain. Sams club i just walked past the freezer section i lost my eyes 6 feet from the freezer doors ran outside the doors i got my eyes back but very weak in strength. Soon as i get outside the store all my vitals come back. Buffalo wings Has about 200 tvs as soon as I entered that place i felt miserable just walking in that building about 18 minutes later i ran outside so miserable i needed to call 911. Best buy it took 4 day's to recover from the wifis in that building Most grocery stores i have about 15 minutes to get outside or i have to ask someone to help me find the exit. I cannot have anything electronic in my house I can't sleep with a burning feeling in my head. Therefore most places need a sign on the door enter at your own risk with a pacemaker. People's lives are at risk just walking in a store. Most small restaurants are mostly safe for me. A electric car is very dangerous for a person with a heart saving device. EMPs are very dangerous with any high current loads without a shield to stop the leakage from any microwave towers.

Reports a decade of EMF sensitivities with neurological and cardiac symptoms, especially around towers. D…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have been battling EMF sensitivities for over 10 years. I get headaches, dizziness, irregular heartbeats, wiredness, insomnia,etc when exposed to cell phones, computers, wifi, cell towers, etc. This limits my ability to be in public places where there are cell towers nearby, wifi, bluetooth, and numerous cell phones that are inherent in crowds. But the biggest and most devastating are the cell towers. Even radio towers affect me. It is like being in a prison, my freedom limited as the government continues to push more and more radiation and EMF into our environments. Please bring some kind of real information by unbiased reaearchers and citizens experiences to the forefront. This is not in our heads. It is real!!!

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Tinnitus arrived the day the neighboors had the AMF-antennas installed in their houses, which I did not know untill the day after. 8 years later, I still have tinnitus, but after 5G coverage started, I started having an additional, darker tone, so now I have 2 different ones. I really could not believe this had to do with EMF exposure, but experiencing like a spear through my brain when one of the neighboors plugged in their electric car charger and hearing a car-charger-park like thousends of screams (I did not manage to have a conversation because of how it affected my brain) I finally had to admit this was a cause to my health problems. I experience pains in my head and in my body, brain fog, difficulties finding words, fatigue, anxiety and heart pulpifications after exposures to wifi, Bluetooth, 4G, 4G+, 5G. We now have had wifi 6 at work installed, along smart heating owens, the latter 50 cm from my desk. I teach middle school, and sometimes there are 28 active computers in the room, along a smart TV or a projector using Bluetooth and an access point placed on top of the entrance door. About 50 meters from our school is a cluster of at least 3 5G antennas. Most ceiling lights have also been changed info LED, they give me immidiate headaches. At home I have no wifi, I am now using my cell phone through a cable. The blue light is turned down as much as possible, and I have a protective shield across the screen. I also turn on the flightmode when I have the phone in my hands. I never use it to my ear. A few hours after coming home from work, the health issues weakens. In the beginning, before I turned off the wifi, and while others were living with me in the house (using their own phones), I also had major sleeping disturbances. If I ever take an electric taxi, my joints and muscles start hurting after a few minutes.

A parent requests evidence on children’s wireless-device exposure, fertility and protective products. Que…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My name is Alexis Butler. I live in Phoenix AZ. I am concerned about the lack of studies proving EMF's safe. Specifically regarding, wearables, wireless devices on the laps, in the ears and in the pockets of my kids. Is this going to affect their fertility? Is this just a myth? There is no science saying it is safe. In the meantime many companies spout EMF free blankets, mats, headphones, cell phone cases etc. BUT where is the research? Money is a limited resource. The anecdotal stories are compelling. If there is reason to limit, avoid, and protect, then why is there a 5G tower at my church, at the school, EMF emitting electric panel on my house? WIFI routers that boast strong signal who is accountable to make sure these are safe?
