I urge the FCC to respond to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals’ remand concerning its decades-old radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure guidelines. The current guidelines do not adequately protect humans against harmful effects of RF radiation unrelated to cancer. The impact of RF radiation on both adults and children are serious matters and the FCC and critical federal health agencies, including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, should rely on appropriate health and biological expertise when addressing the issues identified by the court. This issue matters to me personally because my husband developed a severe reaction to electromagnetic radio frequencies after contracting Lyme Disease. He experiences a very specific type of headache with exposure to wifi routers, cell towers, and all types of electrical devices. We have to shield our computers with nickel shields to reduce his exposure; and we do not have wifi in our house and we use ethernet only. There is an elementary school adjoinnig our property, and these children need protection. Cell towers are being placed on school property, church properties and at parks, all places where children are being harmed. I was a public school nurse in the 1980's and am well-aware of the types of diseases children faced in that era. They were few. Today, children are sicker than ever. They need protection from harmful influences, including radiation. I urge the FCC to give meaningful consideration to personal experiences and evidence and to fully address each of the issues identified by the court. Do not put off this important matter.

Don't get rid of our landlines! The affects of wireless technology and the towers has very dangerous long-term impacts on our youth, animals, wildlife and our environment. Many of us still use these landlines as wireless technology is spotty and unreliable in my area. We also need these landlines in power outages and emergency situations.

I am writing regarding the FCC’s response to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals’ remand concerning its decades-old radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure guidelines. This issue matters to me because my life, my career and my health has been irreparably harmed by the ubiquitous and insidiously ever increasing RF exposure. I am unable to live a normal life or perform in my career. My family has ostracized and then accepted my situation, although visits are fewer and short due to their dependence on their devices for their being and livelihoods. It breaks my heart to watch them utilize their wireless devices and to realize they have no choice in today’s world and recognizing the difficulty I have experienced by not using them and doing my best to avoid the RF radiation. I have had to become a recluse and cannot even go to a city park as they all have towers, placed there to avoid public scrutiny. Fear of being ostracized goes to a whole new level because the device addiction predicates that people are afraid to know or literally do not want to know deleterious effects of RF radiation. While I was still practicing medicine, I came to recognize that people would rather swallow poisonous chemicals with multiple side effects (otherwise known as pharmaceuticals) or have the AV nodes in their heart atria burned (“ablation therapy”) and undergo chemotherapy rather than recognize the cause of their anxiety, lack of cognition, insomnia, headaches, joint pain, insulin resistance, type II diabetes, high blood pressure, tachycardia, a-fib, cancer, etc., etc. I have researched the subject and written a book, still yet to be published because I was warned it would never be picked up by major publishers as they will not bite the hand that feeds them. Media rarely touches the topic for the same reason. Yet thousands upon thousands of people continue to proliferate their ownership and use of wireless devices while increasing their “pills for the ills”, undergoing procedures and opting in for surgeries, because, you know, “my insurance pays for it”. It is estimated that thirty percent of the population is experiencing symptoms from RF radiation exposure. If an evaluation of the pharmaceuticals used to address symptoms were included in that analysis, then 98% of the population would be shown to have one or more symptoms from the man-made frequencies that the FCC has allowed to proliferate in our environment at an unprecedented rate with no regard for safety. The FCC’s failure to adequately protect humans was seemingly purposeful since it has allowed legislation to pass in 1996 that prohibits communities and people from objecting to towers and antennae placement based on health or environmental influence. The FCC is a captured agency via lobbying and the the revolving door of the wireless industries’ and FCCs board positions and in my not-so-humble opinion, the agency should be dismantled. My ‘opinion’ is also supported by complete disregard of the Court ruling that directed the FCC to provide a reasoned explanation for its determination that its guidelines adequately protect humans against harmful effects of RF radiation unrelated to cancer. That’s right - on August 13, 2021, the D.C. Circuit ruled the FCC failed to provide a reasoned explanation for its determination. Specifically, five years ago, the court required the FCC to address the impacts of RF radiation on children, the health implications of long-term exposure, the ubiquity of wireless devices and technological developments, impacts on the environment, and the adequacy of the FCC’s testing procedures for cell phones and other portable devices. In July 2026, the FCC adopted a fourfold increase in power limits for wireless devices, with no public health analysis of what that would do to exposure. It has moved to end environmental safety reviews for cell tower projects. This is unfathomable! The FCC has an immediate obligation to fully consider evidence and real-world experiences concerning the health and environmental impacts of wireless radiation, including non-cancer health effects, impacts on children, long-term and cumulative exposure, cancer, and impacts on wildlife and the environment. Since the FCC is not a health agency and does not have expertise in medicine, biology or public health, it must work with the HHS and other health agencies to evaluate the plethora of studies that DO show harm. WE DON’T NEED MORE STUDIES. Other countries have been gracious enough to provide valid studies that prove harm. Yet, the FCC continues to assert authority over RF exposure standards and is preparing to reach conclusions about whether its existing guidelines adequately protect the public. I urge the FCC to recognize the critical role of federal health agencies, including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and to rely on appropriate health and biological expertise when addressing the issues identified by the court. I urge the FCC to give meaningful consideration to the experiences and evidence before it and to fully address each of the issues identified by the court.

I lived in my house since 1996 without incident. However, shortly after the next-door neighbor's smart meter was installed I became violently ill.Although I never had experienced any of these symptoms in my life, I began vomiting blood, having severe chest pains with difficulty breathing, stabbing muscle and joint pain and an enlarged thyroid, documented by my physician Our previously healthy dogs all began losing weight, vomiting, losing hair AND TWO DIED. A second physician stated in writing that if I got a smart meter, I would die. I was forced to move into my car and then live in a tent.An electrical engineer measured dangerous levels of radiation and conducted emissions emanating from the neighbor's house, as we do not even have WI-FI.Since 2019 I have been forced to be itinerant , being unable to live in my home due to the neighbor's smart meter.Wireless technology is borne of cupidinous greed.

When a smart meter was placed on my home by Tacoma Power I had severe reaction. My normally sound sleep turned into a sleep nightmare. I felt like I was being shocked awake multiple times a night, every night. My heart had always been regular rhythm. After smart meter was placed my heart was very irregular and pounding. I was foggy headed and twice, two different days, forgot a pot on the stove with the burner on- which if my husband had not come in when he did could have caught fire. The heart and sleep issues happened from day one. When I was away from home at work with no smart meter exposure my heart was absolutely normal. I asked via email 2-3 times for the smart meter to be replaced with an analog meter but they refused. The power company did not honor my request to stop that toxic exposure. They did agree to "intermittent use" when my husband phoned them (after the second time I left a pot on a burner for an extended time). Intermittent use of smart meter meant I had symptoms at random times which I assume correlated with their turning it on remotely. Fortunately for me the smart meter stopped working and I am safe/ok again in my own home. That smart meter encounter was terrifying.

Terrible seldom and unexplained headaches since 2015. In March 2020 I realised my headaches were instant in some places within a room, but if I stepped away, this pressure headache would also dissapear. I also started having other symptoms: nausea, body heat while asleep to the point that I felt that I am burning inside whitout actually swetting, could not breath and could not be inside apartment even after I unplugged all electronics. I work in healthcare and I had to go to work at that time. I started feeling burning sensations in my hands and eyes in front of the pc at work, and tachycardia and high blood presure in certain places. I would feel like knocking on metal type of..sound inside my head when coleague would send a text message via cell. In about few weeks, I was not able to remember simple words. I had to wear some kind of head protection and avoid being in one spot for too long to manage symptoms. Headaches dissapear with that protection, also memory came back and I was not "hearing" this texts pings in my head. I was not though able to be inside buildings anymore for more than few minutes, as I was instantly suffocating and skin started to burn all over my body. I reported symptoms to FCC at the time. There is a long story about these last 6 years, but I am trying to stay alive. Even if I might have some other health issues, or something else might have happen in my brain that I am not aware of, I should not have all these symptoms that go away when I am away from rfr or/and emf if these electrical signals are not supposed to interfere with the healthy functioning of my body. From observations, I believe that symptoms ease up when not using cell phone over a big period of time. As soon as I do use it, they return. All this time I have to wear whole body protection. Not sure I would be able to function otherwise.

My life was turned upside down when I worked for Amazon GRR1. RF was everywhere. There was black dust we were breathing in. If we went through the line on the way out and put our stuff in tote to go through X-ray and go through the scanner and it it went off, it wasn't for security, it's like the air port, it's because of that dust and it's electromagnetic properties. You go to another scanner and your stuff doesn't need to be scanned twice, but you do. You get frequent urination, and because of heightened stomach acid you can either hardly eat and have to almost constantly go to the restroom because you can't keep food from going through your body, you can only run to the restroom. Other times, you can eat but you feel you can't stop eating. Quercetin seemed to help like Monster energy drink with Coconut Water B vitamins. Your teeth break. You get too dehydrated and water isn't good enough. You get Vertigo in Pack because someone is playing with the Hertz and opening closed radio channels. You get dizzy, disoriented after walking through a data stream between two computers. Amazon has licensed software that other places of business don't have. And a military contract. You end up talking to yourself and chatterboxing, there are times you feel like you haven't slept at all. You're weak, tired, lethargic. The stairs seem difficult to climb, by the time you realize what's happening you're pretty much just going through the motions. You get Ice pick headaches, cluster headaches, Migraines, complete with daymares the open radio channels broadcast into the warehouse and are all over the floor. Your teeth break. I still have a shoulder impingement, bone spurs, anxiety, migraines, the occasional daymare, problems with bright lights and some short term memory loss at times, hydration issues.
