Sleep & neurological concerns

I have been sensitive to radiofrequency (RF) radiation since about the time it became widely adopted. As coverage grew, I had to limit cell phone and DECT phone usage, as these cuased headaches within minutes. Having avoided cell phones for years, I became tolerant to a degree, and after living in a remote area my symptoms went away completely and I could even tolerate some RF. However, now that I had to move back to the city for work, despite not using a cell phone, I can feel the negative effects from other people's phones and nearby towers. Research is now conclusive that it is impossible that RF is not causing some negative effects, and we can be sure they are going to be varied, and have a greater effect on children and people with underlying conditions. Studies have found that schools with RF or cell phone towers placed near them have a higher incidence of childhood cancers. Studies on cell phone radiation have shown immediate negative effects to blood viscosity, and other biological markers. The FCC's rules are very dated, and do not account for the science since the 80s, nor the experts' testimony such as that found in the Bioinitiative Report (2012). I believe the recognition of this issue is long overdue, and imperative for the health of future generations.

I live in a small rural community with 1 cell tower, and use a Samsung android cellphone, and I have Spectrum internet wifi service in my home. Over the past decade I've experienced mitochondrial dysfunction issues with severe fatigue, and developed brain fog, memory issues, depression and anxiety. I have repeatedly communicated my concerns to my primary care physician for several years and had blood test, thyroid panels conducted etc. without any findings. I have since developed cancer, atril fibrillation and gained a significant amount of weight. Consequently, Duke Energy installed a OneWay CL209 240V 3W at my home several years ago, and there has since been a constant frequency noise in my home being emitted from this electromagnetic device that it disrupts my quality of life. I have informed Duke about my Atril fibrillation and asked for this meter to be removed due to electromagnetic hypersensitivity and to minimize any cumulative EMF radiation in my home. I want a non-communicating digital meter. I am also concerned about the effects of radiation that my pets are exposed to within my home. Duke does not acknowledge that I have a two-way communicating digital meter at my home. DUKE ENERGY STK# 147983, Serial # Z25079936675X16. Please assist us with making living in our environment safe again and stop the corporate profiteering of dirty and dangerous technology from destroying our health.

When the wifi is on at my house it disrupts my sleep and the sleep of my animals as well. I can hear a humming and my tinnitus is much worse. I believe that the local 5g connections are completely toxic. Without testing no one can prove otherwise. Why wasn’t that done before it was rolled out ??

Department of Health and Human Services - Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure FCC Seeks Comment on RF Exposure Issues Subject to D.C. Circuit Remand in Environmental Health Trust V. FCC - ET Docket No. 13-84 To the respectful and understanding reader, First of all, please don’t judge my English, as this is my secondary language. When I was young, my father working in the broadcasting industry, gave our family the love of technology. He believed, like everyone was told, that nnEMF were safe. Having seen a housing opportunity, our whole family moved to a house near huge electric pylons. I lived there for about 10 years. However, I started having health problems on the 5th years. Unfortunately, my father passed away on the 13th year and my mother a bit later, after moving away from this house. A few years later, I started having a permanent headache that wouldn’t go away. I would go to sleep with a headache, then wake up with a headache. I went for a CT Scan and they told me everything was "fine". But it wasn’t fine. Fortunately, I started to have some clues: - My permanent headache went away only when going in the forest, and came back gradually while reentering the city. It occurred a few time, but couldn’t understand the link between my headache and the forest. - A long lasting power outage of 5 days, which affected the whole neighborhood: no headaches during that time. Headaches came back as soon as the power went back on. This is the moment I understood my headache was linked to electricity, somehow. I wasn’t sure, though, having been told again and again that non-ionizing EMFs were totally harmless. Anyhow, having a better idea of the problem, I tried to get help from professionals. I thought they would know better than me. After getting next to no help from my doctor and about 7-8 health specialists, that is when I tried to find answers by myself. This led me to a long and enduring path of discovery toward the truth, both for personal and professional reasons. Being a product designer, I use a scientific, neutral and intuitive approach on almost all subjects. So, I did what I normally do when doing research: checking both sides of the argument and trying to spot inconsistencies and biases. I also learned in my career that if you cannot measure it, you cannot improve it. So I started buying various and increasingly expensive EMF meters, covering different frequencies. This led me to understand that there were wiring errors in my house. I also discovered how "noisy" are WiFi and Bluetooth devices. I then tried to turn those antennas off. My headaches went away almost immediately after. Finally, 3 years after the beginning of my permanent headache, I was making progress. As of today, almost 7 years after the beginning of my permanent headache, I did more than 3000 hours research of the subject of EMF of many ranges and sources in order to understand the subject thoroughly. From my understanding so far, the problem isn’t necessarily nnEMF themselves, but their overabundance. You might be familiar with this: we call that "electrosmog". Don’t get me wrong: I LOVE technology and wouldn’t want to quit my day to day job. It has just became very hard to practice under those conditions. So, my long term goal is to get to know and understand the subject as much as possible in order to create safer products that are respectful of biology, including humans, animals and plants, as I know now that those are affected too. Most of us just aren’t aware. In one line: all lifeforms runs on electricity. Electricity is data. Any change of frequency, energy and vibration is affecting cell at microscopic levels. Under weak non-ionizing nnEMF (WiFi, BT, 60Hz powerline, among others), it first affect blood cells (rouleau formation) after just 10 minutes of exposure but resolves by itself when it stops or if the subject is moving enough to activate blood circulation. However, if someone stand still while using those devices and that it happens all days over a year, bigger problems start appearing. That’s why most lab tests are failing to find evidence: their tests aren’t lasting nearly long enough to find those. The defining characteristic of nnEMF (non-native electromagnetic fields) is polarization. nnEMF are artificially generated and highly polarized, which changes how they interact with matter, and, in this case, with living tissue. Polarization forces ions to oscillate, which, through a cascade of events, forces calcium channels open (voltage-gated ones, yes, you read that right), driving calcium into cells. Excess calcium stimulates the production of nitric oxide (NO), which reacts to form peroxynitrite (ONOO⁻), a highly reactive and aggressive oxidant. Over time, this damages mitochondria, alters cell membranes, and ultimately causes DNA strand breaks. Here is a problem which you guys have the power to solve: as you know, all cells phones are tested for SAR. Their levels are tested against your own rules and they pass it before the product gets released to the public. This is fine by itself. However, when you go inside a cramped bus or subway, those numbers are suddenly going through the roof. Nobody is checking for exposure in those areas. That being said, there are other solutions, such as LiFi, which could be a good alternative. Also, making wireless frequency unpolarized might be another path to explore. Before concluding, I must admit though that speaking of this problem with other people wasn’t all good. Many people, including some close friends, didn’t want to believe my story. I had to insist to the point of this health problem nearly breaking our friendship. Thanksfully, I had more listening ears around me than judging ones. I also met many people having the same problem as me, which was a relief. Many people are downright hostile toward this unknown problem, as you might have noticed. From what I’ve found so far, what we were told since the 60’ hasn’t evolved much in the public mindset. I really hope it changes at last. Thanks for caring about all of this. Philippe D. Côté

ET Docket No. 13-84: I am writing because I have general and personal concerns and experience symptoms related to RF radiation and feel strongly regarding the FCC’s response to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals’ remand concerning its decades-old radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure guidelines. I understand that the Court 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. Specifically, 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. I wholeheartedly believe that the FCC should 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. Here is just one study I believe the FCC should review when addressing the concerns about wireless radiation: BioInitiative Report (2012, with Subsequent Research Updates): Updated Research Summaries – Collection of scientific research concerning neurological effects, oxidative stress, DNA damage, genetic effects, and electromagnetic sensitivity. Individual summaries have different update dates, including 2022. The FCC is not a health agency and does not have expertise in medicine, biology or public health. Yet, the agency continues to assert authority over RF exposure standards and is preparing to reach conclusions about whether its existing guidelines adequately protect the public. This is unconscienable! I wholeheartedly 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. This issue matters to me personally because: I live near numerous cell towers and our home is increasingly being surrounded by the installations of numerous 5G, 6G, 8G local telecommunication networks, besides the smart meters of utiilty companies. I experience headaches, extreme fatigue and disorintation from even cell phone exposure for any length of time. I have gone through the trouble to purchase an EMF meter and tested areas in and around my home, our celll phone, our computer and TV to find the readings high on all counts, even after I have taken what measures I could to mitigate exposures. I suffer chronic fatigue, many and increasing allergies and a low immune system, which I believe to be in great part a result of constant EMF exposure. After living in our current home for over 30 years, I have seen a large decrease in the bird and bee populations and in the health of the backyard wildlife. I have witnessed heightened tensions, anxiety, depression and significant declining general health in the people of the neighborhood. I very strongly 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 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. The Court 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. Specifically, 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. The FCC is not a health agency and does not have expertise in medicine, biology or public health. And yet, the agency continues to assert authority over RF exposure standards and is preparing to reach conclusions about whether its existing guidelines adequately protect the public. This issue matters to me personally because my health has been adversely affected by wireless radiation, particularly after a smart meter was installed on the verandah outside my bedroom. The meter was installed in 2016/17. Over the approximately two years while it was there my health gradually deteriorated. Eventually, I became more ill than I had ever been in my life. In 2018 I came down with a bug that completely wiped me out for two months, along with a secondary eye infection. I could not work. My sleep had been affected for those one and a half to two years of the smart meter presence - waking, and then taking hours to get back to sleep. I experienced fatigue during the day. There was head pressure and I began to experience 'brain fog'. These things I initially assumed might just be part of my aging process (73 years old). My blood pressure was high when I did go to the doctor for the eye infection. I had been using a shungite sphere between the smart meter transmitting aerial and my bedroom, which I had thought would protect me, however I now feel it was not enough to deal with the quite strong emr transmissions coming 24/7 from the smart meter and affecting me as I slept. It was at a local meeting about 5G in 2019 that I realised that it might not be the ageing process as I had assumed, but rather, the smart meter on my verandah, that might be causing these rather rapid declining changes to my health. I learnt at the meeting that there were ways to counter wireless radiation adverse effects in your home space. I wanted to make my home an emr safe place. I contacted the local geobiologist who had addressed the meeting, and he came to read the emr and geobiology in two sleeping spaces in my home. He found that indeed the radiation emissions from the smart meter were strong and likely affecting me, and he also made suggestions re protecting me from the effects of the electrical currents flowing through me as I slept which were from the wiring in my bedroom area. When the assessor came back with a spare piece of shielding mesh as a temporary measure, and placed it at the rear of the smart meter a week or two later, – I felt a greater ease in sleeping again and felt so grateful for the help. Realising that wireless radiation was likely the main culprit in what was happening to my health, I began to research emr on the internet and learnt that in NSW in Australia where I lived, some rulings had just come about that meant that NSW, QLD, SA, Tas and ACT electricity customers were allowed to have communications on ALREADY INSTALLED smart meters, turned off.. This was a ruling by the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) that allowed metering coordinators to deactivate the communications on already-installed smart meters. The final rule allows metering coordinators, at their discretion, to deactivate the remote communications in response to customer objection. This was the information I needed to begin the process of negotiation with the electricity provider to change my meter from a 'communicating' to a 'non-communicating' meter. The whole process took a good 5 months however finally the provider removed the offending modem. Some years on, (2026), my sleep has improved a lot from where it was. My body feels great really. One unintended and unforeseen consequence of the changes I instigated back then, is a relative absence of the little stiffnesses that had begun to creep in since the installation of the smart meter. (I see from my research that the effects of wireless radiation on the body are cumulative.) On waking I noticed that my body felt good, whereas previously, since smart meter installation, it had begun to be a little stiff upon getting out of bed. I attribute this to several things - my bed was shifted so as to be away from the pathogenic earth stressors, which had been picked up by the assessor, and it was also shifted away from the wall so as to be away from the electricity fields in the wall. Additionally I currently turn the power off at night at the main switchboard, which would I imagine be eliminating electrical fields as I sleep completely. The main thing is that there has been no pulsing emr radiation impacting my body as I sleep. (I understand from my research, that emr does have impacts on our musculature as well as many other biological and neurological adverse biological impacts). However another factor in both my body's well-being, plus my brain's improved functioning would/could be coming from the supplements I have been taking to remediate my body from the adverse accumulative biological effects of exposure to the manmade emr. Mg citrate and Mg glycinate that are two of the four forms suggested by Mercola in his book "EMF'D". Mg Stearate is another form that I will take which is also suggested by him. I think the other supplement that is immensely helpful in dealing with the damaging health effects of wireless radiation transmissions in my body and brain, is the fermented pawpaw which was used by Belpomme and Irigaray with their trial subjects as in their paper "Electrohypersensitivity as a Newly Identified and Characterised Pathological Disorder: How to Diagnose, Treat and Prevent It" . They also used Gingko Biloba which I am only now just starting.. Their article is well worth reading. From their research they found that those who experience electrohypersensitivity, like myself, never come back to zero, and need to continue to minimise their exposure to wireless radiation as a preventative throughout their life. In 2023, a short film, (approx. 10 mins) on electrohypersensitivity, titled "Remembering Nearfield", won at the Cannes Film Festival in the Health Section. I feel prevention is the best route. When out in unknown wifi territory I mostly carry my emf radiation detector, so I can assess the least emr active zone to be in, and to minimise my time and presence in high emr zones. Having the emf detector is also handy if others are coming into my home with their devices. It enables me to check that there are no radiation fields being emitted unnecessarily in my home safe zone. (2025 update – I also carry my Blushield 01 scalar device when out and about and away from home.) The actual physical process of changing to a non-communicating meter simply involved a technician coming and removing the modem (for communicating), from the meter box, in my case. They left the aerial there, however it is not active without the modem. Having the emf radiation detector I find helpful for peace of mind to know that, for example, the modem HAD been removed and to confirm that indeed it was not transmitting . When taking readings from a smart meter with a wifi detector, it is important to know that you need to be reading the detector ongoing for at least 5 minutes, since the peak pulse of the smart meter occurs around every 5 minutes, 24/7, that is every 5 minutes. There are multitudinous lesser pulses actually many times a minute. I understand that there are almost 10,000 radiation pulses coming out of smart meters 24/7. (If you set the radiation measuring meter to also make sound you will then HEAR should there be a strong transmission, when, and if, your gaze is averted from the measuring meter.) (See "Biological and Health Effects of Radio Frequency Transmission: A Review of the Research Literature" ; A Report to the Staff and Directors of the Eugene Water and Electricity Board: June 2013, they served a court order to PG&E to provide clear documentation of what the smartmeters were actually doing.) I currently don't have a mobile phone at all which works for me. I experience unpleasant sensations in my arm when holding such devices. I have a landline, NBN, and wired ethernet cables for internet. The modem provided me by my server did not have a button to turn off the wifi, so I had to request for them, the server, to disable or turn off the wifi at their end. This means there is no wifi in my home. I have no other wified things, and that meant deliberately shopping for a no wifi tv, for example. For me, my home feels energetically safe and quiet again. I feel some balance is returning, however I still feel myself at some threat from escalation of 3G, 4G, 5G and the proliferation of wifi and emr in public buildings, schools of learning, and other public spaces. I used to enjoy visiting my library to read, however now because of so much wifi in the library, I avoid it. Becuase of the remediation measures that I have undertaken in my home, I have a safe , natural emr free space to return to and to recuperate. Travelling is somewhat limited for me as I need to have that emr free space in which to sleep and recuperate. I am still able to undertake short plane flights occasionally and wear an emr shielding singlet for the plane trip (I have to take it off while going through the metal detector though, as it is threaded with silver and copper). I need to wrap an emr shielding scarf around my whole head, face and shoulders when the wifi is turned on in the plane carriage. With my detector I can measure the radiation level outside the scarf and inside the scarf. The scarf wrapping noticeably decreases the level of radiation impacting my head and upper torso region. Without the shielding I experience unpleasant head pressure in a wified plane carriage. Because there is still a relative ignorance of the health hazards of wireless radiation, so far people/individuals affected by it, like me, have to find their own solutions for themselves. I feel a deep concern for my grandchildren and the next generations, and the impact on nature and the bird, animal and insect life with whom we share and enjoy this planet. Two of my grandchildren used to attend Primary Schools where there was an emr impact from either existing or proposed towers and one was in a school with a wifi system that could not be turned off because the switch was installed on the roof. This is of extreme concern to me. The other resource from the 5G meeting was connection with a group of people who were feeling similar concerns regarding the impact of emr for our own and society's future. There is some solace and comfort in knowing that, and in being able to join with others, and too, in learning and knowing of the existence of paths forward being taken by other groups and individuals. I appreciate and find hope, in that some countries, regions and cities are looking at, examining and accepting, the debilitating health experiences of many people who have been exposed to toxic emr environments and they are also examining available independent scientific research proving biological effects from emr, and they are saying 'no', or else, caution is needed here, to the escalation of emr in areas under their jurisdiction.. Thank you for the opportunity to contribute. 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. Your sincerely, Marian (Porter) Australia

This issue matters to me personally because: My son is diagnosed with Level III Autism. He is nonverbal and in diapers at 18 years old. He spends his entire day and often night spinning and howling. We live in the city surrounded by more and more towers. However, when I take my son out of the city where there are few to no towers within many miles, he is a different child. The spinning and howling stops. He sleeps soundly through the night. He is so happy. When we return home the spinning starts again. The sleepless nights continue. I've tested this now dozens of times. His brain is completely scrambled in the city but his body feels peace and calm far from the technology. He is my canary. Everyone who sees it knows what is happening to him and to the rest of us, even though we cannot feel what he feels. 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 have experienced mild to moderate to strong sensitivity to emf's ,increasingly being emitted from household and commercial WiFi and cell towers. I have been evaluated by health care practitioners for a combination of symptoms: low calcium levels, skin rashes, heart palpitations and irregularities and brain fog and mild generalized anxiety. I ask you to do independent research on the impacts of this technology on the whole ecosystem, as well as human health. I am deeply distressed that this technology has been rolled out without safety research. I remember watching Senator Blumenthal's hearing and panel of the ceo's of 5 big tech corporation and their admission that no safety research had been done.

EMF (electro magnetic fields): The EMFs in my vehicle give me heart palpitations and make my heart race and I can sense the EMFs given off by newer vehicles as well. The near field bluetooth communication used for medical devices causes abnormal heart rhythms and bowl obstructions and, yes, I have data that backs this statement up. The radiation given off by the cellular towers is getting worse because we need more and more towers for all the sensors required to run new tech. There is a lot of evidence-based research that proves exposure to EMFs causes heart and neurological issues. Please put safety checks in place to minimize the harm to humans. Thank you.
