A massage practitioner describes self-reported electrosensitivity, repeated moves and difficulty finding …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am a health practitioner, I'm a massage and bodywork therapist in practice for over 20 years, I am a Mother. I am also a Nationally Certifed Massage Therapy Educator. I am 52 yrs. old. I am sending you a copy of my doctors note saying I need to avoid wifi. I do not use a cellphone. Review RFs as well as the EMFs. You already know this but we all have a WIFI DRONE ISSUE. All the neighbors are encroaching on our property, & military flying thermal radiation drones & pressing them in my windows each night playing war games and harrassing us on my 16 acres, encroaching my property, I moved 5 times, I sold my first home because of this and rented 4 homes which all had the same thing happening. You need to change the law so everything has identification, ids, we need identifications on drones no matter how small or big, and mandated laws and standards enforced. I am an EHS Refugee & moved out of 3 homes last year to escape a radiation smartmeter in CT that was forced in my home, and I had to move to a state where only opt out meters are enforced. I had to move back to North Carolina. Wifi radiation is inconvenient and encroaching on our personal space and property giving our bodies symptoms. I am trying to find a home to settle down in but I need to be miles away from celltowers and I am having a hard time avoiding the celltowers that are on the map close to each property and they should minimize celltowers. I should not be forced to use a cellphone, smartphone for using any social media or website, buying food, or work, or anything, freedom of choice. I took photos of my cat getting cancer from the RFs, the radiation from a smartmeter, she had a wound but when we moved away from the smartmeter radiation, her wound got smaller.Our lives have changed since wifi radiation over powered our lives. where we are EHS Refugees where we have to avoid wifi radiation. I have a husband and friends and massage clients who are okay with not bringing wifi in to my home, they have to keep their wifi away from me when near me. We avoid places with celltowers on the buildings or near the buildings. We avoid using LED lights at home, only use incandescent because we get headaches & symptoms. LED lights cause blindness in rats, & people, bring back quality incandescent lights, give us healthy options, not healthy for the environment, healthy for our system, our bodies first before environment. RFs, & EMFs cause symptoms of insomnia, rage, mass shootings, numbness, nerve issues, tremors, convulsions, reflex issues, inflammation, pain, brain fog, personality disorders, addiction, ADD, disruption of REM & sleep, most of all insomnia & sleep disorders which I believe are the source of all our problems. Tell them to do sleep studies.I am a sleep expert. You need to lower levels of radiation, you need to have standards like Europe and or think about people, plants & animal health. It messes up migration, the bees, it shortens lifespan. They need to have the battery removable so when the cellphone is off it is really off, not on 24-7. They need to make these adjustments to protect our health. They need to focus on "rest" & "sleep" & these basic needs for health & what that really means & how wifi, RF & EMF is interfering with our bodies, our bodies are electric, delicate, sensitive more than they know or care, & it is damaging our cells. It is causing inflammation. It is causing dehydration, & lowering vit. D levels dangerously. I do not use wifi, that is why. We should all have the choice not to use wifi & should not be forced to live next to a cellphone tower. Make an option for non-wifi. Please take away these dangerous toys.Please help us, change standards, make strict limitations, minimize. Get rid of the dangerous wifi toys. For every technology run by wifi radiation, we need an analog, non-wifi version with no radiation offered. Do not replace everything with wifi radiation and think that is "better". We always choose non-digital and dials over digital with radiation. We always choose analog over digital, We choose copper landline over digital phone, do not make this obsolete. We choose dsl over fiber internet because fiber has high amounts of DE-dirty electricity. I am not the only one, there are thousands of us, join our Electric Sensitive Support group facebook page. Most of us are trying to escape the EMFs and RFs and are forced to live in a mobile home and travel around to escape a celltower being built next to us. Safe levels are 1.5 on a Trifield EMF Meter, .1-.3 is safe on an RF meter. Because health is more important. ~sent from an ethernet cabled desktop computer, no wifi.

The commenter reports physical sensations during phone use and perceived improvements away from wireless …

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 an individual and parent, concerned for each of us, for all of us, and for the natural world. When I hold my cell phone, whether texting or talking, for any longer than a couple of minutes - I experience a sensation like an electrical current wherever it is in contact with my body. If the duration is longer, these sensations travel up my arm, or spread across my ear and skull. This has been happening ever since I purchased a smart phone (a good many years ago). I did not have these experiences with my first Nokia phone. When I am traveling, camping, or staying in places where cell phone signals are not as available, and where there is no wifi, there is a noticeable difference in my sleep, and my mind is often calmer and clearer. Over time, I have become increasingly avoidant toward my phone, simply because my physical experience of it feels like harm. When these symptoms first began, I actually read through the instructions/disclaimer that came with my smartphone (in the tiniest print imaginable). It was recommended that your phone remain 5 feet away from your body to avoid using it in a way that may not be safe. This is not how people use their phones: they live in our hands, in our pockets, and against our head and ears. I don't think it is a leap to expect that any risks are greater to the smaller, still developing, bodies of our children. We as a country seem to have lost our desire to balance risks & costs with technological development and profit. There is a palpable sense that most people in the tech industry have stopped valuing individual human life, and moreso just want reliable consumers. They make products (including apps and the devices themselves) that are addictive, and now are all but required for many to participate in education, banking, and business. Tech leaders talk about the benefits, but don't seem to care one bit that they are not often experienced by the wider public without significant costs to the basic health and quality of life of children and adults. Under the guise of improving life, digital systems are constructed and implemented primarily for massive profit without any real public consent. Data centers devour water, land, natural habitats, communities, and electricity, and cell phone towers are placed wherever they can be as laws are pushed that would prohibit any protest by homeowner, landowner, or collection of voices. This is not a direction of care or consent. It is a steamroller forward over whatever is in its way. I support HHS taking an active role in examining existing and 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.

The commenter reports disabling hypersensitivity attributed to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, invokes biofield and …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
We have to understand about what we are, we are electromagnetic being. We should know about Sabrina Wallace and the connection between clouds and biocensor, bodynetwork and our biofield. We have to know about Arthur Firstenberg and his book: INVISIBILE RAINBOW. We know a lot of scientific as Pr Paul Héroux, expert on radiations. I have an electrohypersensitivity, caused by Wifi and bluetooth essensially, now i am sick and invalid worker. Not funny.

The commenter describes difficulty controlling neighbors' exposure sources in shared housing and requests…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hey There HHS, You requested public comments about “Wireless Radiation,” Wireless Technology and the subcategories that go with it… So my comment is below… I am a private citizen, writing with concern for my health and my communities health. My life would be socially more abundant if the telecom companies, and our entire country, would get rid of all wireless technology. I live in multifamily housing. I have no control over my neighbor’s use of wi-fi or where they place their routers and other remote devices. Friends have refused to visit me b/c the EMF’s(R’s) in my home are so intense they cannot relax. Probably why my sleep is terrible even though my router, cell phone and PC are off. I cannot hold my cell and talk w/o my hand going numb. Also, I’ve met people who become exhausted and/or get migraines from smart meters and/or wi-fi. BTW my old dial-up phone and answering machine, had significantly clearer sound quality than most all cellular, or cordless landline phones. I lived for decades without a cell phone and it wasn’t a problem. Although, I’m not as overtly abused as some people are, and probably I haven’t noticed all the harm wireless technology is doing to me, I’m still annoyed and seriously concerned about our collective mental, emotional and physical health. Therefore, I am asking HHS to broadly and deeply investigate the damage wireless tech is doing to humans, non-human animals including bees, and plants. Thank You

A commenter identifying as a physician discusses sensitivity and mold-related susceptibility, proposes me…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am a doctor from Cornell medical school and I’m an expert in EMF having been very sensitive myself and gotten better over the last 25 years. A radiologist did a study showing the changes in the blood flow on Doppler ultrasound of the popliteal vessels When the cell phone has been applied this is what happens when my patients or my self holds the phone to the head and we get dizzy and ischemic symptoms. Mold exposed patients of which there are obviously many tens of millions in the country have damaged to the voltage, gated calcium channels, and are therefor more susceptible to this Injury. There’s a Netflix series about my work called afflicted I’m an episode six the most but episode one is about EMF and I suggest that you guys watch it. is correct about the effect of radio frequency radiation on the body and we should be mitigating this in schools by using wired computers less industrial Wi-Fi if any and no cell phones close to the students or teachers. We must educate the country about this area and I am available Environmental Health trust has done a lot of research in this area And Devra Davis has been a leader in this field and colleague. I presented in Congress to the veterans health subcommittee and help to raise $100 million for toxic exposure research and veterans as they often suffer from the syndromes unknowingly often due to toxic exposure, mold exposure, etc. The mold act was written 10 years after I presented to the committee and congressman Bilrakis who subsequently created the mold act to be voted on this year. It is time that traditional Physician’s learn from those of us who have become ill and stop calling us names. I have written an EMS related resolution in the medical society of Massachusetts as well as the importance of taking an environmental history. Which means when you get symptoms like the cell phone heating up in your hand or a headache did you just expose yourself to radiation that gave you the symptom. Of medical note Trisalts can alkanalize the body and reduce such symptoms. You need a committee on Environmental Health and Medicine to advise you in this area. I would be happy to participate and have letters of reference from NIEHS And I have clinical experience as well as personal experience with this unbelievable symptomatology of being environmentally ill. You can see me discussing EMF on the doctors and Dr. Phil as well. The other experts can give you specifics on frequencies and different types of radiation, but I’m a medical doctor and I can tell you about the symptoms and the treatment

The commenter reports severe symptoms around wireless devices, substantial treatment costs and relief wit…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
For the past 6 years I have become intolerant to cell phones, computers, WiFi. My symptoms are EXCRUCIATING headaches, ear stabbing pain, burning scalp sensation, hair loss, insomnia, heart palpitations and chest pain. Just being on my phone and texting this is painful to me. I know without a shadow of a doubt what is causing it, as when I completely avoid, I am symptom free. I have sought out MANY different doctors, treatments and have literally spent thousands of dollars to try and help ease my symptoms. Please, please, this is no joke. We are being radiated and no one seems to care. I know of MANY people that have similar symptoms and experience electromagnetic hypersensitivity. Something needs done. Thank you for listening. Appreciate it. Sincerely, Kim Patton

The commenter reports sensitivity after MRI-center work, costly shielding and isolation, and urges FCC co…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I was sensitized to electromagnetic radiation after having an occupational exposure at an MRI center in 2002-2003. Since then I have contacted innumerable government representatives and agencies regarding this issue, the FCC's constant failure to protect us and their increasingly aggressive pursuit of higher and higher levels of RF radiation while in violation of a 2021 federal appellate court ruling to consider approx.11,000 pages of scientific research demonstrating biological NONTHERMAL effects of RF at very low levels, update its pathetic 30-year old THERMAL ONLY "safety guideline" for an adult male exposed to a single emission source for a short time - not the 24/7 bombardment from all directions (including space) that we are currently being exposed to and to perform required NEPA studies (never done) for small cells. I have NO protection under the ADA even though my neurologist of over 30 years has specified in writing that I have become sensitized to RF/EMR, there are medical ICD-10 codes for health effects of EMR, and the Social Security Administration at least recognizes EMR syndrome as an occupational disability (i.e., electrical engineer/technician, etc.). I have spent untold thousands of dollars trying to mitigate EMR in my home (which is now the only relative safe place I can occupy) and consulting medical practitioners about my conditions and options. I no longer have any faith in ANY US government agency. The US has among the worst RF standards in the world. The EPA was going to study the issue and establish a BIOLOGICAL (not thermal-only) standard for RF radiation but was defunded before being able to complete the appropriate research. The fix was in! The FCC became the designated responsible agency. The FCC is now almost if not completely a "subsidiary" of the telecom industry (in the revolving-door placement of industry-to-government personnel) and does NOT represent the best interests of the American people in terms of their health or the health of the environment. The FCC would have my neighbors being paid to put a 5G antenna on their roof with UTTER DISREGARD for the consequences to my health and well being or that of children, the elderly, immune compromised, pregnant, already sick and/or disabled and the environment. The FCC MUST comply with the appellate court order (the court has given them 30 days now after being brought back to court for their previous utter failure lasting since 2021) and perform UNCONFLICTED environmental impact studies outlined in the original court decision. I think we already know why they have stalled and disobeyed the court - they know the studies prove there are harmful health effects of RF radiation at levels so much lower than current exposure levels and the previous single-source thermal emission standard set for an adult male only - and that there are harmful environmental effects (seen all over the world now) - otherwise, why not review (with independent, unconflicted scientists) the scientific studies submitted and perform the required NEPA studies and put the matter to rest? They can't because the studies/reviews will prove the opposite (if performed by unconflicted scientists). The burden of proof should not be put on the sick and already injured! The FCC is derelict in its duty to protect the American people and continues to flagrantly ignore its obligations and responsibilities. However, the FCC should NEVER have been given SOLE authority over this matter - I BLAME CONGRESS FOR THAT as well as the EPA and the FDA for ignoring the NTP 10-year, $25 million study demonstrating CLEAR EVIDENCE OF HEART CANCER-the highest standard, evidence of gliomas (brain cancer), adrenal and other tumors, etc. from NONTHERMAL RF radiation (performed underground to rule out ambient radiation and under strict thermal controls). I am exhausted from this fight and the exponentially (seemingly without limits) increasing exposure to RF radiation. It was determined that I become a total insomniac due to RF exposure from an AT&T modem (in the home office next to my bedroom years ago) in which the wireless antenna (which was set to "off" by AT&T) accidentally reset to "WiFi enable" unbeknownst to me, apparently due to a power surge. My bedroom is now a room with metal roof, metal shutters, mostly silver fabric curtains and a silver fabric canopy so I can sleep, all of which cost me a small fortune (not tax deductible by the way). I exist only on faith in a higher power, as I have lost all faith in the corrupt system in which I find myself including "foxes in all of the hen houses" of the US government. What a pathetic, sorry state of affairs it is. Children are now being exposed to unprecedented levels of RF radiation from before birth! Will anyone protect them?

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hello, Thank you for this opportunity to express my EMF health symptoms and concerns. I am EMF sensitive, it has become difficult to go into stores because there is so much elecrtomagnetic wave energy. The EMF makes me very tired, light headed and unballenced. If I go into a big box store I experiience brain fog and forgetfulness. It didn't used to effect me but I believe it has gotten so much worse in the last few years. It makes my skin itch and makes me tired however I don't sleep well. I would like to replace my household smart meter for an analog meter. I did not have all these issues when at least my house had the analog electric meter. When I go out my cell phone is put on airplane mode or turned off. I turn off the router and WIFI at night, these steps help a little. But the world is now toxic with all the cell towers and transmissions. Please update the studies and laws for EMFs, RF Radiation and Wireless Radiation.

The commenter reports cognitive and sleep symptoms around earbuds, phones, routers and nearby towers and …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My health has been personally affected by increasingly powerful electronic devices. The first time I noticed this was when using airpods and feeling symptoms of confusion, anxiety and brain fog. Over the years, I realized that smart phones and wifi routers also cause me restlessness, sleep issues and fatigue. Different homes that I have lived in have been impacted by nearby cell towers including one home in Austin which was about 100 yards from a 5g tower. This severely impacted my sleep. Apartment complexes are also troublesome with exposure to dozens of wifi routers. There are hundreds of studies connecting cell towers, wifi routers and wireless radiation to health issues. This is a problem that is only growing! Please take action!
