When you turn on an electronic mouse repellent or a new printer with its own router, you do expect to get pressure in the chest and ears. But that is what happened to me, and the incidents were two years apart. The second event happened in 2012, at a time when smart phones and the infrastructure to support them was being rolled out. I was healthy so it was obvious it was the frequencies in these pieces of equipment that had affected me. And at that time in my part of the UK, the environmental load of exposure to EFs and EMFs was (and still is) increasing exponentially, and my health quickly went down hill. It felt as if my brain was being jammed, and my ability to string a sentence together faltered, but woke up at 11pm when people went to bed and switched their tech off. New to me pains began to be experienced: at one point fizzing in my head would increase decrease and stop for 30 secs or more as I walked a main street full of different types of tech. In general I was getting tinnitus, brain fog, more disturbed sleep, all of which would stop if and when I found an environment low in the triggering EFs/EMFs/ and other frequencies. Fortunately I knew how to access information from the internet and quickly could find good sources of information. It was clear to me that my mercury fillings were acting as antenna and needed to be removed by someone who could do it safely. I had all 7 mercury fillings replaced and my health improved, confident speech was back. It has not been a cure all, but despite expecting to be ill for a while after this process I was not. So my surprise, no nocebo effects either. I still have to protect myself from over exposure and so there much I no longer do to avoid the pains provoked by this issue. I use wired alternatives for communication purposes, and I am dreading the complete shift to just digital and WiFi means of communication evermore gatecrashing my life. I know people who have had a terrible time at work because they become electrically sensitive. Hanging on to jobs can just become too difficult. I was fortunate in that I was already retired, when my electric sensitivity was triggered. The science is being ignored, especially re: infertility, and cancer and pain and brain fog. When I was at my worst I thought people meeting me for the first time would think I was mentally ill or suffering from early dementia. Are we not seeing huge rises in the diagnosis of these illnesses. From my own experience it is strange that the contribution of EFs/EMFs and other frequencies is not allowed on the table. Only one reference given below due to shortage of time. https://www.es-uk.info/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/ES-UK-Newsletter-Summer-2026-vol.24-no.1-Printing.pdf

To whom it may concern, I feel the need to be direct when I state that the fact that in 2026, we’re just now “seeking public input” on a subject that has been, beyond all shadow of a doubt, scientifically proven for many decades, feels like an afront to anyone who can see the broader economic picture, and the (all-too-typical) deprioritization of public health in favor of corporate greed. Let’s face it, The Invisible Rainbow, first published in 2017, covering countless, well-documented scientific studies going back more than 100 years, makes it abundantly clear that WE HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE DETRIMENTAL EFFECTS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION ON BIOLOGY FOR A LONG, LONG TIME. That said, as for my personal experience, my life has been fundamentally and irreparably altered as a consequence of EMF exposure. I’ve been hospitalized several times, and am now permanently unable to participate in many of the activities most people take for granted. I have to cover myself from head to ankle with expensive and uncomfortable faraday clothing when I leave my home. Even with this protection, I cannot stand to be in high-EMF environments (which is pretty much everywhere now) for longer than several hours at a time, and the effects on my health are catastrophic. My activities have been limited, my diet has been limited, my social and professional life have been decimated, and my life will never be the same. But at least I haven’t died of a brain tumor, as quite a few of my clients, colleagues, friends, and family members have. Again, the fact that we’re “seeking public input” on this topic is a bitter bill to swallow. It feels a bit like asking people what their experience has been drinking arsenic-infused soda that we’ve been insisting is safe for the last 50 years, as if the people making money (huge, HUGE amounts of money) haven’t known the answer from the beginning. Anyway, I digress. On the upside, I now run a business that stays consistently busy helping clients who are becoming sick en masse due to the electromagnetic radiation soup we’re all now swimming in. Tragic. The recent acquisition of the 800mhz band by Starlink is a nightmare waiting to happen. I’ve published a book, created online content, read the studies (no – not all of them, let’s face it – there are many thousands), read the books, watched the documentaries, deep-dived into the science, the biological mechanisms, and worked with countless clients suffering the effects of EMR. We don’t need more science. It’s been done. The effects are clear. The BioInitiative Report alone made this point, as have innumerable other sources. What we need are protections and education for an unaware populace suffering while corporations yield record profits at the expense of their customers’ health and, yes, their very lives. I can only hope that enough individuals in the decision-making process have enough integrity to stand up for what is right, rather than being cowed (or bought) by the financial interests committed to keeping this subject marginalized and quiet. I must say, based on history, I’m not optimistic. But perhaps I’ll be pleasantly surprised. I hope you choose to do what is right. You do have the power to make a difference. I thank you for your consideration. - Anonymous EMR-S sufferer P.S. – I’m choosing not to attach files below because I fail to see the point. Yes, I have countless studies, infographics, PDFs, etc. stored on my computer that I could include, but as I mentioned – we all already KNOW the truth. The Environmental Health Trust, The BioInitiative, and literally COUNTLESS resources online have enough data to drown in. And it all says the same thing – as the BioInitiative Report put it “Bioeffects are clearly established”. Full stop.

Hello! I am a Swede living in Sweden and in Spain. I have electrosensitivity since 2006 due to working too much with technology as a filmmaker. It was eventually my own canon videocamera that made me fall into the pit. Needless to say that I get headache and energy loss and constant colds when my immune system goes down in environments with high microwave frequencies and where the electromagnetic fields are high in both microtesla and voltage. I wanted to point out an issue that is not really covered since the focus is mostly on 5G and other terrible wireless systems. I have noticed that these days the microtesla is really high inside and outside houses when measuring with my electrosmog meter, and this I also feel a lot in my whole body and head. Furthermore I have unfortunately not found a good place to live in Malmö in Sweden due to the central heating of the city and due to the smart meters from which its inherent transformers and microwaves emit spikes on the kind 50hz electrical cords in all the houses. And the central heating has also high voltage and microtesla that are transmitted from the original central heating and enlarged by the switchers in every house and then spread up by the leading metal tubes in the house to all the radiators in every apartment or villa. So these will literally be radiating in every room high fluctuating microtesla and voltage which is eat to measure with a electrosmog meter (Cornet for example). So this is the case in bigger cities in Sweden. So I was also surprised to notice high voltage and really high fluctuating microtesla in houses Portugal for example. I don't know why it's so. And I also noticed it with my meter and my brain that got a heavy headache at a friend's apartment in Malmö. So I measured outside her apartment house where there had been put up lightment of modern color lamps. My assumption is that these lampa are wireless controlled and therefore emit such high microtesla and voltage in the whole environment, both outside and inside the houses. I am really worried about this and would like to see some safety regulations around this. So an other issue are the solar cells and the wind mills. I have learned that it has to do with that there are transformers up at the highest point of the windmills that are spreading electromagnetism for serval kilometers away. I "feel" (headache , nausea, energy loss) from a windmill if I am closer than five kilometers away. Instead there should be a faraday's cage around that transformer, or put it on the ground with a parade cage around it. The transformer is changing the voltage rate. This should be constructed in a safer way. And likewise I cannot be close to solar cells or its equipment (transformers and controllers) forany meters. It is not a joke since solar cells are forbidden where military planes are flying low, since the radiation from the solar cells technology is disturbing the instruments inside the planes. Nevertheless there are "kind" solar cells and equipment and it is important to not install the equalizer system on the solar cells, ie that regulates the solar cells when there are clouds that give shade on some parts of the solar cells that are connected together. This makes the whole solar cell roof radiant... Apart from wireless systems and gadgets I also suffer a lot from house alarms and energy saving lamps and some kind of led lamps. Lamps can emit so much fluctuating microtesla. And also dimmers, which is due to the hammering on the electrical cord that therefore emit high spikes and give headache and energy loss, among all the other symptoms... So to avoid that it's better to have the dimmer lamp fully turned on or turned off. Not in between. I also noticed that my sick and sad old aunt was sleeping in fluctuating microtesla in her hospital bed at the senior sick house where her daughter put her. I went there to clean the electromagnetic and wireless ambiance of her room that made her so dizzy and lost. Even if I unplugged the electrical cable of her aluminium metal bed structure which had fluctuating microtesla according to my electrosmog meter it still was emitting, probably due to a encapsulated battery in the bed structure to moving the different bed parts up and down. So I found her a second hand bed of wood, with the same possibility to move the parts up and down with a cord control that the personnel would plug in if needed. She slept so much better after that. And also because I shut down one of the main fuses in the fuse box in her room as well since I measured it with my electrosmog meter that was peaking totally. So strange...

Cell towers do not belong in school grounds where children spend a majority of their time! Towers belong in vacant areas far from schools and residential homes!!

My experiences with EMF impact on my life have been many. I has caused me to have headaches, involuntary body movements, screaming from body punches being zapped, brain fog, brain flutters, left ear ringing constantly, the in ability to write legibly, loosing my balance, eye pain, being relegated to 3x5 foot space in my apartment, sleep only on my left side hoping to mitigate my exposure to sleep, the loss of memory, not being able to do the simplest things: go to the doctor or hospital, attend church, concerts, eat out, travel, stay in hotels or others homes, and more; without being aware of the danger that could ensue. I keep my android phone in a medal case/container off. In order to type this information I use a rubber tip stylist. I use Ethernet, a mouse, and three EMF blocker gloves on my hand, my router is kept in a steel pot wrapped heavy foil. At night I unplug everything accept the refrigerator, and the stove. I never use the microwave oven. I live a lovely small town in the business district. However, I 'm surrounded by electrical infrastructure, so the windows are covered with two plywood board, and EMF blocker net/fabric in ever room accept the back windows in the small laundry room, and bathroom. Just walking to collect my mail or lingering at the front to greet my neighbors is a danger. Walking around in my apartment or washing dishes is a problem. I can't sit anywhere other than the small space in my laundry room. I could go on, but suffice it to say EMF is a real, and very usual challenge for me daily.

*Folkets Strålevern* (The Citizens´ Radiation Protection Norway) was established in recognition of the existence of documented, peer-reviewed, and published international research concerning the adverse health effects of electromagnetic radiation (such as that currently used for wireless communication—mobile telephony, wireless networks, etc.). It is a significant problem for the Norwegian public that this knowledge is still not reflected in Norwegian laws and regulations. The population needs a reliable, attentive organization tasked with providing protection and information regarding this critical issue. Currently, the authorities do not provide the Norwegian public with updated and accurate information on this subject. *Folkets Strålevern* works to enable the population to more easily make informed, rational decisions regarding the appropriate use of wireless technology. The overarching objective of *Folkets Strålevern* is to help protect people and the environment from the harmful effects of non-ionizing radiation. The current state of knowledge in this field indicates that existing exposure limits and regulations are based on outdated principles regarding the effects and mechanisms of action of non-ionizing radiation. Consequently, these standards are inadequate for protecting humans, animals, and other forms of biological life against the potentially very serious long-term harmful effects of such radiation—effects that have been documented even at levels far below current exposure limits. Folkets Strålevern (The People’s Radiation Protection) advocates for: – the implementation of a genuine precautionary approach, capable of protecting both humans and all biological life in nature from the harmful effects of non-ionizing radiation; – the establishment of exposure limits and legislation that account for the actual biological effects of radiation—on humans, animals, insects, and plant life—at non-thermal levels, as demonstrated in several internationally published, peer-reviewed studies; – the introduction of exposure limits for non-ionizing radiation that, unlike current standards, provide protection against the harmful effects of long-term exposure. Folkets Strålevern is not an activist organization; its purpose does not include providing practical, case-specific advice or conducting measurements of electromagnetic fields. For a reasonable fee—plus the coverage of travel expenses—we can deliver professional presentations on the subject to groups, neighborhood associations, schools, kindergartens, and other organizations. Furthermore, Folkets Strålevern is neither a patient organization nor a support group for individuals who have been harmed by electromagnetic radiation, or for those seeking to determine whether such harm has occurred. The Association for the Electrosensitive (FELO) was established for this specific purpose. Folkets Strålevern is funded through membership fees and donations that are not contingent upon any reciprocal service or benefit. Membership is open to anyone who wishes to join.

I suffered greatly from headaches, but we could not find the cause. The headaches just kept getting worse; eventually, I had them day and night. I took a lot of painkillers and muscle relaxants, but over time, they stopped working as well. I felt nauseous, vomited, and couldn't manage to eat much. I tried everything that was suggested, but nothing helped. I was desperate! One day in 1985, I collapsed—my body went into spasms. And I was sent to hospital. I was hospitalised 14 days in the emergency unit in Oslo University Hospital in connection with a total collapse caused by an unknown condition. I was diagnosed with a virus infection of the brain. After 3 months of sick leave, I returned to work and suffered from an acute headache within 5 minutes of entering my office. We discovered the office was built over a transformer: “mystery solved”, it was not a virus infection of the brain, it was a radiation sickness. We were happy to understand the problem. However, my doctor couldn´t help, and the Norwegian Radiation Protection Authority told the doctor and me that these electromagnetic fields could not harm my body at all. I was lucky that my boss was an electro-engineer, and he understood very well that an external electromagnetic field (EMF) could interfere with my body’s electric signals. I got a new office, a flat screen monitor (very expensive at that time, but I couldn´t use the old CRT screens because of the radiation) and could continue my work. As I started to search for more knowledge about the radiation sickness - now called electro- hypersensitivity (EHS) - I got in contact with dr. Olle Johansson from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden. I have had a good life, but I have to make certain adjustments and take specific precautions. Our family has had to move a couple of times due to external sources (mobile masts). We use wired connections for telephones, PCs, and so on, and we have an exemption from AMS (smart meters). I cannot travel by train—or any other form of public transport, for that matter—because of all the people carrying mobile phones. Since 2001, I have been working within voluntary organizations to help other people who are electro-hypersensitive. I am Secretary General in Citizens´ Radiation Protection in Norway (folkets-stralevern.no) and also President in International EMF Association (iemfa.org).
