We need more stringent RF radiation exposure standards in the United States. The research and science have been insufficient to identify and address the risks in vulnerable populations. Our rural population came under a Wide Area Network Advanced Metering Infrastructure, and there was no FCC standard to protect our citizens from public utility overreach decisions. As a health practitioner in a small clinic, I witnessed an acceleration in existing cancers near transmitters and subsequent death within months of new exposure to wireless RF. There have also been new cancers and a brain tumor where the mesh network transmission is more concentrated due to housing density. There is an exponential rise in vertigo and tinnitus, headaches, and insomnia. I witnessed sudden death of pets, including elderly cats, dogs, and an aquarium pet within weeks of AMI install. All patients and clients benefit from bioavailable magnesium to offset the magnesium depletion with the voltage-gated calcium channel dysfunction. https://www.spandidos-publications.com/10.3892/ijo.2021.5272 Children have had seizures at school where the Wireless RF is more intense with antennas, WiFi and devices in the classroom. The Science and oversight protection for RF impact on our children is grossly lacking.

I have been personally affected by my cell phone, computer and wireless radiation since January of 2019 when I had an “electrical accident” in my home office. Since then, when I touch my cell phone or use my laptop, I get these symptoms: tingling on the tip of my tongue that spreads further back toward my throat, my lips swell, nausea, swelling in my joints, ...until I stop using the device. The cell phone impacts me extremely quickly, just by touching the front of it, and I often get a pulse through my arm. Awhile back, I began to get a lump in my breast. It was right where I could feel the signal from my fingers on the cellphone to my breast. This lump kept increasing in size until I went to the doctor and showed her. It felt important that a medical person see the lump and record it in my health records. Realizing the cell phone seemed to be causing the lump, I stopped using it for 4 days until the limp went away. I can only use a computer for a short time before these reactions occur and nausea sets in. I have friends for whom the reaction is a lightning bolt headache that lasts many days, burning skin and worse. I have also had tinnitus since this occurred. It is loud and affecting my hearing. Hearing aids will be necessary, and you know what they cost, but I can’t have wireless hearing aids which are now wireless or have a battery, something I also can’t tolerate at close range. In the "electrical accident," I was using my computer with the wireless on and charging my cellphone in the same unit of 4 outlets. I was back and forth using the computer and the cell phone when I needed to text/make/take a phone call. Suddenly, tingling began on my tongue, and my lips swelled. I have been told that my hands on both the keyboard and the cell phone at the same time completed something like a closed circuit, charging my body. Since that time, I have had this sensitivity. My doctor and my chiropractor both diagnosed it as Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity. My MD says I am something of an antenna now, possibly exacerbated because we all have metals in our bodies from environmental pollutants. There are costs associated with being electrically sensitive. I cannot have wireless on in my home and must hardwire my laptop. Wireless is free, and cell data, which I am forced to use, is expensive. I purchased a good meter, between $350 and $800. My RF/EMF meter told me there is no place is my home that is really safe enough to sleep on a regular basis and I had to invest in some very expensive shielding material ($1500.00) that shuts out radiowaves in my bedroom. I need to hire a Building Biologist to determine what about my home makes the sensitivity worse. This hire is expensive ($800-1000.00) as well as costs for anything that person determines I must do to mitigate my exposure. I have great concerns (terrified, really) about 5G and all that will come in the future. Smart meters aren't local yet, but we have gotten the dreaded letter saying they are putting them on houses now. These must be studied as they emit huge amounts of strong radiation and will be installed right on our homes. They also put dirty electricity into our wiring, and I and some others react to that. I actually have to turn off the circuit to my bedroom when I sleep so I don’t get a killer headache. What else is forced on us this way? Please let us have free meters on our homes for water, electricity and gas. The more radiation we add to the environment, the more people will be negatively affected. Please study the effects of the enormous amount of cumulative radiation in the air in towns with strong wireless infrastructure and those with little. We have seen huge differences. Please study the effect on children, wildlife, the elderly and immuno-compromised. Our lives are in your hands. Please protect us and keep services people-centered not profit driven. Thank you so much! ~LWodin, Upton, MA

I have the misfortune of owning a home near a cell phone tower. When I bought my house 17 years ago there was one level of “antennas” – now there are 5. I can feel the orbing of the energy coming off of the tower. I now suffer from ringing in my ears, constant headaches, fatigue and on and on…I’ve spent a fortune at doctors trying to find a medical solution for an EMF problem. I can’t afford to move. Nor should I have too. It should not be legal for the FCC to put up whatever it wants in my community. There are endless studies of the harms from these towers. What is it going to take to care about the citizen of this country? Please see one of the studies done on cell phone towers. https://biolmedonline.com/Articles/Vol4_4_2012/Vol4_4_202-216_BM-8.pdf
