In Spring of 2020 I became very sick! I lived in Beverly Hills and had heard that the roll out of the new 5G technology within the Los Angeles area was happening at that time. I’d heard about the dangers of this new technology about 4 or 5 years prior. As I noticed changes in my body’s health I knew it was from these new frequencies. I had explained the situation and onset of symptoms but your box here said it was too long. So I'm happy to share more details if you want to contact me. Summary: Over the course of a month I had a gradual increase of symptoms from what I believe was this new 5G switch-on. The only way to survive it was to leave town. I tested my theory and it worked, but my symptoms came back when I went back home that day. I knew if I stayed I'd die, so I had to leave town for a long duration. In a sense I became an EMF refugee. Symptoms: Sudden pain in chest, had the instinct to breathe deeply to make sure I was still alive and still breathing (unusual for me) Slow increase in feeling a pressure or constriction in my chest area and lungs. And increasingly labored breathing. Increasingly feeling physically weak and lightheaded. Tingly all over body, almost a buzzing feeling, on my skin and in my muscles and organs, definitely feeling an intense strange external energy all over my body. I began having trouble sleeping. Occasional dry cough, raspy voice. Mild and later increased scattered thinking. Further labored breathing and pain! Decreased feeling of circulation throughout my body. Reduced appetite, and dehydration. Dry and cracking lips. Headaches and reduced tolerance for noise or talking even at low volume. Emotional nervous system breakdown w/ less patience, heavy brain fog. The buzzing turned into a shaky feeling that doesn’t seem to go away 24/7. Turned into eyeballs and teeth buzzing and shaking. ~~ My cell phone is an old iPhone 6S. I didn’t like that they removed the aux jack in subsequent models. Many years before my EMF sensitivity I had an intuitive caution about wireless earbuds; inviting wireless frequencies to come that close to my brain always seemed like a bad idea. I wondered why I hadn’t had many problems using my phone, but when I looked it up, it seems the phone is too old to be compatible w/ this new technology. So even though I had the above extreme reaction to the switch-on of the 5G frequencies, I did not have problems carrying a receiver in my pocket from my phone. The phone does heat up and transfer that heat to my hand if I use it too long. I’m careful not to use it too much, or if I need to, I don’t hold it in my hands. ~~ In Summer of 2023 I was traveling through Austin, TX. I stayed at: Hampton Inn Austin/Oak Hill 6401 US-290, Austin, TX 78735 I had the same buzzing and energy draining experience at this hotel and wrote a 1-star review on Google, linked below. This hotel is right next door to a Substation, as shown in the attached photo taken out the window of my hotel room. I don’t write reviews often, but this needed to be mentioned so others were aware. Couldn't include the link. ~~ Trucks & engines: I’ve had my heartbeat interrupted by the idling engine of large-engine trucks. It also happens as they drive by, but idling seems to be much worse for me. I cannot confirm if it is simply because the engine is stationary and thus I’m getting hit by the frequencies constantly, as opposed to a truck in motion that will increase then decrease as it passes, or if the idling engine produces a slightly different frequency and that is what effects me. It’s also happened with a gas-powered generators (the kind used in Florida during hurricane season). The idling of a powerful engine puts out some frequency that overpowers my heart and causes it to skip beats and almost stop altogether. It’s very scary! I’ve had an EKG and xrays and doctors say my heart looks fine. I KNOW the problem is caused by the frequencies of these powerful engines when I’m nearby. ~~ “Dirty electricity”: I’ve also had similar symptoms from living in a house w/ what’s known as “dirty electricity”. I can also hear it buzzing at ports of machines or outlets. The bedroom I had in this house was by the garage where the entire house’s wiring meets and connects to the breaker-box. The walls and ceiling were just covered in wires from all over the house and I was bombarded by the off-loading of this electricity trail. It was hard living there and I had problems the whole time. Unable to move as immediately as I wish I could have, I bought some Grounding products that helped me Ground the electricity surging through my body; I also actual grounded myself barefoot in the grass. ~~ Many of us have been forced to seek “disconnected” products and ways of life. We need better industry guidelines throughout various industries! We also need education for those who aren’t as sensitive and don’t understand this invisible danger in our midst.

I think it is dangerous and think we should research a lot more. Especially being in schools and around schools, it could be damaging our most vulnerable.

Ron Schranz 11 Honuea Place, Kihei, HI 96753 Tel/Fax: (808) 875-8287 rschranz@hotmail.com Brain & Eye damages from Microwave radiation to me. 10/18/2026 I moved into Kihei in 2005 from ag land in Haiku and purchased a lot at 85 Honuea pl and was NOT given any disclosure of the 50 or more cell transmitters mounted within 3800 feet of my home. One night in 2006 after 1 year of constant exposure I was woken up at approx. 3 AM with a debilitating headache, my brain on fire causing massive sweating to the point that my pillow could hardly be picked up as the thermal effects had cooked my head profusely. I soon discovered that each time I entered my home the head aches started. I then was NOT able to sleep, watch TV, eat at my dining room or spend any time in my home office without suffering major pains and more debilitating headaches. In trying to sleep in my bed I was allowed apprx. A few hours before the pain and headaches would begin again. I soon could NOT spend much time if any in my home without suffering badly from microwave poisoning. I was forced to abandon my home and seek refuge in any area that was not heavily bombarded with transmissions from cell towers which was just about impossible in the Kihei area. I subsequently suffered from heavy memory loss to the point that I could not work or barely function in my life. I had problems remembering my own phone number and was totally unable to do any of my contracting business which require lots of calculating. I was disabled by this condition for more than a year. Page 2 continued Ron Schranz Microwave poisoning After a year I was sleeping in my car and trying to function as a contractor doing my bidding and calculating. I had found that spending time away from home and soaking my head in cold water frequently would help some. I began to research my condition and found that it is well know that the effects of microwaves cause many many people like me to suffer many painful symptoms. The thought by many medical professionals and scientist is that this condition is called EHS Electro Hyper sensitivity. It is reported around the world that many others are suffering from this exposure to microwaves and that there are tons of scientist that have proof that there is extreme dangers to the human body from microwave radiation. I have been battling this condition since 2006. I have read and studied all I can in an attempt to mitigate the symptoms as much as possible. I was not able to leave my home as my income was drastically reduced due to my inability to function. I was unable to pay my mortgage and subsequently filed for bankruptcy. I have been forced to stay in this home since then as I had no extra money or even credit to move or purchase another home. My home is still in litigation at this time. As I was able to somehow cope with my condition and start generating some money I began to purchase all kinds of equipment to test for safe areas and also buy protective clothing or shielding to make my home more livable. The towers near me were increasing in numbers and strength to illegal limits. I contacted FCC but they said they had no agents in Hawaii and that they allow the cell companies to police themselves. In other words they would do nothing to protect humans suffering and gave free reign to the telecommunications people in FULL. Page 3 Ron Schranz Microwave poisoning continued With the proliferation of solar systems in Hawaii now and even though the PUC has NOT given the local electric company permission to change out home owners electric meters to Smart meters/Digital meters the electric company has used the excuse of solar systems installed on home to swap out analog meters with now Digital meters. I now have 8 digital meters on homes surrounding me and I am being FRIED to death in my own home. This is CRIMINAL TRESPASSING at it’s worst. I walk into my home and instantly feel dizzy along with major eye pains gripping within moments of entering. The eye pains are excruciating and now have gotten to the point of causing major damage to my eyes. My right eye has a swollen macular blurring out any vision in that eye. My left eye has a hole in the retina and is in just as much pain. My entire property is now radiated 24/7. I can not even work the yard or wash my car without felling all these painful symptoms. As HHS I implore you to take action and STOP all this destruction of all our families especially children. Switch to Fiber optics wired and move ALL towers far away from homes, schools and save us all from this pain and suffering. Sincerely Ron Schranz

See attached file(s) My name is Lene Hannisdahl Haug, and this document serves to summarize the severe and life-threatening impact that electromagnetic radiation, particularly 5G, is having on my health, my family, and my daily existence. • Acute Physical Suffering: Since the 5G radiation was directed at my home, I have developed severe health failures. I suffer from a constant, infernal, and throbbing headache that lasts day and night. The pain is so intense that it makes me nauseous, and it causes severe cognitive impairment to the point where I can barely move, think, or even hold my head up to write. I experience this continuous exposure as pure physical torture, and my body reacts as though I am constantly being beaten. • Loss of Freedom and Total Confinement: My life has been drastically restricted to protect myself from radiation. Due to my sensitivity to smart meters (AMS), I have lived like a prisoner in my own home since the fall of 2018. However, the upgrade to 5G has turned this confinement into unbearable torture. I cannot even step outside my house to enjoy the weather, leaving me with less freedom than a prison inmate who is at least allowed daily outdoor time. • Forced Displacement and Isolation: The pain became so unendurable that I had to flee my own home to survive. To escape the 5G pulses and frequencies, I lived in complete isolation at a remote cabin far away from civilization. While this allowed me to recover my health physically, it forced me into heartbreaking isolation, separated entirely from my husband and children. • Devastating Impact on Family Life: The radiation exposure prevents me from participating in the most important moments of my family's life.Most tragically, the radiation environment and the physical pain completely prevented me from attending my own mother's funeral in the church. • Documented Cause and Effect: There is an undeniable and documented pattern regarding my illness. Throughout 2024 and 2025, my health completely collapsed during periods of 5G exposure, yet I partly recovered and became healthy during the periods when the environment was restricted to 4G. • A Fight for Survival: I am living in an acute, ongoing emergency. The situation is so desperate that I feel like I am drowning. With telecom operators planning to activate even more 5G transmitters pointing directly at my house in the direct line of sight, I am terrified for my life and am pleading with authorities for immediate protection.

In early 2021, both adults in my household began experiencing a mysterious raft of ongoing and debilitating health problems with no obvious cause. We experienced chaotic changes in blood pressure, dizziness and brain fog, chronic fatigue, loss of control over muscle tension, unrestorative sleep, memory problems, lack of focus, and persistent feelings of doom. Most mysteriously, our symptoms would resolve when temporarily relocating to remote areas, but we were in no position to make any such move permanent. After experiencing such severe and prolonged symptoms that I was no longer able to work---after over a decade providing my family's primary income---I spent my available energy seeking medical help to try to understand the cause of all our troubles. After two years, I made a series of shocking discoveries: (1) that our symptoms strongly matched those of sufferers of microwave syndrome, discovered decades before, but paid little attention by the medical profession; (2) that the time our symptoms appeared coincided with the rollout of 5G networks in our community; (3) that researchers all over the world had connected reports of similar suffering to the deployment of 5G networks; and most terribly, (4) that the U.S. Federal Communications Commission had pointedly ignored this research, even in defiance of federal court orders that they give it due consideration. When I became a licensed amateur radio operator as a child, I was taught that the FCC maintained evidence-based radio frequency exposure standards to protect public health and welfare while facilitating effective communications. Recent events have made clear that the FCC no longer maintains either expertise or interest in the first of these goals, while its close relationships with telecommunications companies have compromised even its ability to follow the most basic directives of the law. With the massive increase in radio frequency exposures now pervading our country, it is clear that protecting people and other organisms from electromagnetic pollution should become primary responsibilities of the agencies charged with caring for human health and the environment, HHS and EPA. Today my children suffer concerning sleep disruptions that make me worry for their healthy development---yet another characteristic sign of microwave syndrome. I have tried to find a way to measure the electromagnetic pollution where we live, but I found that equipment able to distinguish individual sources of radiation at 5G frequencies costs tens of thousands of dollars. We may ultimately be forced to uproot ourselves from our community---our families, friends, schools, and remaining source of income---in order to find a place where we can be safe and fully alive once more. It devastates me to think how our government has failed us and so many other families in the single-minded pursuit of technological advancement at all costs, ignoring the scientific process that has allowed our society to manage progress in the past. For your reference, I am attaching below two scientific publications representative of hundreds more in their respective categories. The first is a case report documenting the clear association between 5G station deployment and debilitating microwave syndrome symptoms in the two adults of another household in Sweden, beginning also in 2021. The second is a review article documenting that the FCC's current exposure limits are based on wishful assumptions rather than consideration of scientific evidence. These are but two samples from a vast scientific literature that has been sidelined in the rush to deploy faster and faster wireless networks. I call on HHS to take charge of a new, scientifically honest program to reevaluate and regulate environmental exposure to man-made electromagnetic radiation. For every American who experiences an added convenience shaving seconds off a gigabyte mobile download, there is one suffering in silence whose life has been shattered by a poisonous force they cannot even see.

I live in Kochi City, Kochi Prefecture, Japan (33.5569398°N 133.5457296°E). The Kochi Prefectural Police and a cult-like religious group are subjecting me to electromagnetic wave attacks. Whenever I go out, the Kochi Prefectural Police deploy drones or UAVs—aerial objects that emit loud, jet-like roaring sounds (there are multiple such craft, including some that produce quieter, yet still intense, noise). These objects lack visible identification lights and do not emit any light; it is unclear whether they are manned or unmanned. They constantly generate electromagnetic waves, exposing me to their harmful effects. Recently, these aerial objects appear every time I leave my home; they follow me as I move, hovering overhead and producing loud, roaring noises. Although the craft themselves remain invisible, their presence and the fact that they track my movements are evident—bystanders, unaware of what is happening, often look up toward the source of the noise, searching for the craft that cannot be seen (33°32'59.7"N 133°33'09.6"E). They are left bewildered, hearing the sounds but seeing nothing. I want this "gang stalking" by a state institution to stop. Similar electromagnetic wave attacks are also carried out using police helicopters. Specifically, police helicopters engage in abnormally low-altitude flights, targeting me with electromagnetic waves and the shockwaves generated by their rotating rotors. (On one occasion, an object even hovered at an altitude lower than the 68.70-meter height of the Kochi City Culture Plaza "Cul-Port"—a building near where I live—and remained there, confronting me.) The Kochi Prefectural Police have been conducting GPS-based surveillance, continuously funneling this location data via a smartphone app to a cult-like religious group. This group then targets the places I visit with electromagnetic radiation (often by collectively pointing devices—ostensibly smartphones—toward me). I am also subjected to electromagnetic wave-generating equipment, as well as low-frequency or intermittent, deep, heavy-bass sounds. (These are directed toward my apartment unit; I hear faint, rhythmic "thud-thud" sounds. It is unclear whether these are the startup noises of machinery or intentionally generated low-frequency/intermittent deep-bass sounds, but I notice them whenever I wake up—suggesting that my sleep is being deliberately disrupted.) Furthermore, I received a letter from "Shikoku Electric Power Transmission & Distribution"—a subsidiary of "Shikoku Electric Power"—regarding the installation of a "smart meter" equipped with communication capabilities. I am deeply frustrated by the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy (a Japanese government body) and its disregard for the public; it appears to prioritize the interests of gas and electricity utility companies while completely ignoring the concerns of individuals like myself who suffer from "electromagnetic hypersensitivity." Since the installation of this smart meter, I have experienced a recurring, abnormal phenomenon: I wake up approximately every 30 minutes. (This is directly linked to the smart meter’s practice of transmitting power consumption data every 30 minutes.) This interferes with fundamental human physiological needs and poses a serious danger. Notably, this issue is not mentioned in any documentation provided by the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy, including materials regarding "opt-out" procedures. I am being subjected to an outrageous and egregious ordeal: a forced, unilateral demand for payment of ¥44,000. The conduct of the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy and Shikoku Electric Power—actions that trample upon human dignity—cannot be overlooked. My sleep has been disrupted, and I am being coerced into paying money; such acts, which border on crimes against humanity, are being carried out brazenly in Japan by both corporations and state institutions. While Shikoku Electric Power’s website features a Q&A section, it shows a complete lack of consideration for those who have been victimized. It is clear that Japan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications is operating with a focus on profit rather than understanding the reality of the situation. I demand an immediate end to the use of smart meters. In Japan, state institutions and the police fail to function as they should; instead, they sacrifice the public to serve their own vested interests, stealing taxpayer money to line their own pockets. The police are the ringleaders of this evil. They commit wrongdoing themselves, yet they are never held accountable. I demand that they be purged immediately.

this is making us sick! 5 g is bad enough you do NOT NEED 6g or more ! The frequency cause many health problems

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 an advocate and concerned member of the public. I am in shock at the seeming endless explosion of cell towers and WIFI being everywhere. Perhaps this is why even though I am a robustly healthy person who eats organic food, exercises, drinks only water, and practices a healthy lifestyle, my head feels bad every day. This never happened before a smart meter was put on our house. Why are WIFI routers allowed in schools where children go every day. Their skulls are thinner, and their brains are developing. We should have ethernet cables in all schools, in offices, in hospitals, and homes. Wifi comes with a lot of hazards and HHS needs to look into this. Please don't trust any research from the organizations that are creating the EMF and EMR hazards. 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 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. Back in 2014 a bank of 7 wireless electric smart meters were installed in the condo building where I lived at the time. The same day they were installed I began experiencing vertigo and balance problems. As time went on I experienced brain fog and pressure in my head. The symptoms were bad enough that I was forced to vacate my unit and move back in with my mom for about a year until I was able to sell my condo and purchase a single family home free from smart meters. There are scientific studies that show that EMF's can act via Voltage-Gated Calcium Channels (VGCC's) to cause adverse biological effects. Please investigate the research published by Dr. Martin Pall. Also, the Bioinitiative Report (first published in 2012 and updated since) provides a rationale for Biologically based Exposure Standards for Electromagnetic Radiation. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the 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. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.
