Wi-Fi & indoor exposure

Thank you SO MUCH for opening this discussion! I have been telling people for decades that EMF / RF is like cigarette smoking -- smoking was everywhere, doctors endorsed it -- and then one lawsuit showed how much companies knew about the health problems, and it was gone. Time is valuable, so I will give a super quick overview of my personal experience with the problems with EMF / RF -- 1. When my son was a baby, he screamed whenever we drove past a cell tower. 2. When driving on the highway, I'll get a head ache, og over a hill, see the cell tower, think, "Oh, that is why my head hurts!", it will hurt until a hill is between me and it; until the next headache and the next cell tower revealed minutes later 3. I had to stop flying, after wifi on planes came, as I was getting nosebleeds 4. My horses take people cell phones out of their pockets and flip them into mud. 5. I wondered why I was getting pneumonia after concerts and similar large gatherings; it was being around so many people in such a small space, with their cell, wifi and bluetooth antennas all blazing away 6. The keyless entry cars give me a head ache. 7. Everyone who has taken my advice, to turn wifi and cell phones off at night, has noticeably benefited 8. I sleep better after making sure that there are no live electric wires running in the wall behind my head 9. Tinnitus inside the house (with really high dirty electricity), but not outside, or when the power is off. 10. The bald eagles on my land have not been able to raise chicks in the nest that gets the full force of the cell tower; plus the high RF areas have killed my trees, including the tree with the bald eagle nest. 12. My children became unhappy and difficult when we moved to a high EMF/ RF area 13. Visitors to my hard-wired, no wifi house sleep better than elsewhere, in spite of the dirty electricity

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. I personally have experienced adverse wireless radiation exposure. Long story, short, I discovered that my in home router had received a firmware update and turned on the 5 GHz frequency. I was experiencing anxiety at a level I had never had previously, for a season. Providentially. I discovered the router firmware update and shut it down. And since then have not experienced the anxiety since. I have since been aware of my EMF vulnerabilities. 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.

Plenty of anecdotal evidence. A series of friends who get mildly to deathy ill around wifi, starting with 3G. Needs to be studied for safety by a neutral party.

As a senior having used wifi phones since 1998 and TV now, I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. As I used these technologies, I noted how headache pressures, brain fog, and my well-being was affected, I tried to find solutions. Once I began using EMF protection, turned off Wifi during sleep, health changed! We are sending microwaves radiation increasing more and more! The brain and body are not meant for this assault. Protection is vital!

At home I always turn off my wifi at night so that my body gets a break from the wifi energy plus I then get a good rest. While renting at an airbnb, I forgot to turn off the wifi and for a couple of nights I was restless and couldn't sleep. When I finally realized the wifi had been on day and night, I went and turned it off. Immediately my body relaxed and I could feel a buzzing leave my body. I did not even realize the buzzing had accumulated over the couple of days that the wifi was on, but it was significant and noticeable when the wifi was turned off. That night I slept well and got a good nights sleep! So, I feel we as humans need protection from EMF energy waves! I experienced it!

Digital meters, 5G, and strong electric lines affect me in various ways! The meter on our house cause severe sleep deprivation and I feel a constant vibration inside my body. Some days/times it's much worse than others, but always constant! I can see a 5G tower from my home, only a few blocks away. Vibrations for stronger after it was installed. Wi-Fi contributes. I also feel a pressure and can get headaches when close to strong power lines. I have also experienced tooth pain and jaw pain from the same and possibly from some other strong electric/EMF fields/devices... As I have have experienced those symptoms without being able to identify what could be causing it...Alway while driving. But after getting some distance away, the symptoms disappear.

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 parent of a disabled child and a concerned member of the public. I first became aware of the issues with wireless radiation when my son, who has brain damage from a vaccine injury just as he turned one, began walking around holding his ears and complaining about a buzz. This coincided with the people starting to use wifi in our apartment complex. I began to look into this and came across the studies by Dietrich Klinghardt MD, Ph.D. He found that wireless radiation has serious adverse affects on individuals, some more than others, or some manifest or experience symptoms more than others. In particular he was concerned about the developing fetus, infants and small children with their more permeable and still developing brains being exposed to wifi in the home, through their parents cell phone use, in cribs with the baby monitors, etc. He felt it could be a cause of autism and other neurodevelopmental problems. As with the vaccine industry who for decades has failed to conduct responsible safety and efficacy studies, the telecommunications industry is similarly culpable. They are exposing us to higher and higher levels of EMFs, without the studies that would indicate if these levels are safe. I was so concerned about my son with the wifi situation rising in my society, that I took him out of school, age 9, and we moved to the cloud forest of Costa Rica and lived off the grid for four years. This was extremely beneficial to both of us. He became more verbal. We both slept so much better, and our stress level reduced significantly. We are now back in the country. I am a university English professor, and needed to return or lose my job. When we returned, we rented a small basement studio apartment of a household who agreed to use corded connections for their devices. However, I came home one day to discover that a smart meter had been installed on the house, 5 yards from my son's bed! From that moment I realized that I had to purchase our own small home so that I could control the situation better. We were able to buy a small house in our community. It had already installed a smart meter, however. I threatened legal action against the electric company, sent letters verifying the dangers of the smart meter, to our health, as well as to our house, since the lack of surge protection could result in the house being burned down. I told them my son's disability required them to instead give us an analog meter. But they refused. The smart meter was attached to the garage, on the other side of the house from the bedrooms, but still I feel the affects of this meter. I have serious problems settling down for a restful night's sleep. It is the only issue with our house, since I have internet that uses a corded connection to the router. We have no wifi. I have no cell phone. We have a land line phone. I have a gauss meter. When I moved in, aside from the repeated and destabilizing pulsing from the exasperating smart meter, my house readings were quite good, generally in the green range. However, over the past seven years, since buying our house, the readings are more in the yellow range. I attribute this to the ever increasing amount of EMFs in our environment. EMFHelpCenter.com is a good site for information and strategies for how to legally insist on the Electric Company replacing the smart meter with an analog meter. 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.

I am writing as a parent. My son had a tic disorder for about ten years. It resolved completely when Wifi was eliminated from his home and school environments. He still gets headaches from screens, but no tics. Previous dietary and lifestyle changes were beneficial in other ways but did not resolve the tics.

My dog slept by the wifi router and got a brain tumor and a colon tumor. Please warn people of the danger of sleeping near these and similar devices. Thank you!

My sons and daughter-s-in-law use wi-fi to entertain their children and to interfere with any possibility of dinner conversation or developing dinner manner and etiquette.They constantly llow the children to use headphones. I began experiencing tinitus after the installation of an AT&T tower near my apartmnt building.
