Describes electro-sensitivity and major daily limitations after electric-car exposure, cites broad health…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
We are really in a public health emergency with all of the wireless devices and waves of exposure all around us. These exposure levels are said to be thousands of times over what could be a possible safe level where the science tells us that there really aren’t any truly safe levels for this kind of radiation (microwave exposure). There are thousands of studies, many collected in the Bioinitiative Report BioInitiative Report: A Rationale for a Biologically-based Public Exposure Standard for Electromagnetic Fields (ELF and RF) that demonstrate clearly that these exposures, even at very low levels, have dangerous biological effects. There is even an important study known as the EU Reflex Study which demonstrates that wireless radiation damages cells and DNA on pare with nuclear or gamma radiation. Reflex Study Finds Genotoxic Effects 2004 In city life we are completely surrounded and penetrated by countless exposures from every direction. There is not only the danger that comes from one cellphone,which is enormous, but the cumulative exposures from our neighbors, those coming from satellites, cell towers, smart meters, Bluetooth speakers, multiple WiFi routers in schools with multiple cellphones and other devices. It is a non-stop bombardment which is the cause of extraordinary health damage including cancers, neurological disorders, dementia ( Dr Sharon Goldberg says even in teenagers now) cardiovascular disorders, brain damage, blood toxicity, and anxiety, among many other health problems. I became extremely sensitive to these wireless microwave radio frequency radiation exposures after buying and driving an electric car. After a two hour drive I had an intense neurological breakdown where I could no longer sense the periphery of my body nor could I remember or track my thoughts. It was quite like I was experiencing dementia with a feeling of squeezing across the top of my head as well as a feeling that my brain was vibrating. I healed over time by avoiding all wireless exposures as much as possible as well as consuming large doses of many supplements, but I remain an electro sensitive person whose body is intensely disturbed by surrounding wireless exposures. I used to have to drive out to the countryside to be able to breathe when my neighbor would have his Bluetooth on (as well as when the smart meter was installed on my home- so fortunate to have my smart meter in opt out mode now but there is still some “dirty electricity” it causes that affects my health). I am very fortunate to have a new neighbor who keeps his Bluetooth off for me. There are also places in my home where I can feel the smart meters shooting through my home. I can’t stand very long at my sink without getting pains in my body from this, can not sit at parts of my dining room table nor use one of my bedrooms ( as it is to close to my other neighbors who use Bluetooth etc). It is quite a challenging life for an electro sensitive person ( though we are all biological and are all being damaged from wireless, the electro sensitive can feel the damage as it is happening). It really limits where I can go and how long I can stay in any given place. I could definitely not work in an office or school or even attend a dinner with people with their cellphones on etc. There are millions of people like me who have become electro sensitive all over the world. Many have been displaced from their homes because of cell towers or smart meters and other wireless nightmares. Many can no longer work in their jobs for which they have trained. Some have had to seek refuge in the forest or rural settings, though now with the proliferation of satellites and almost ubiquitous wireless coverage it is becoming more difficult to find a safe place to live. There are also dangers to our atmosphere, other living beings of nature( bees, birds, trees, etc, and the planet which we must be arrested immediately. This wireless proliferation should have been stoped a long time ago as the science has been available for decades. There is an important article from The Lancet - Planetary Electromagnetic Pollution: is it time to assess its impact? This is a critical situation, a real emergency, to preserve the health of people and planet. It requires immediate, sober and creative action. It is critically important that we primarily wire for communications and eliminate the waves passing through/damaging bodies. Cell phones as they exist now can be used in airplane mode with Bluetooth, cellular, and WiFi off, with an Ethernet adapter to access internet etc. There could be stations available at home, workplaces, around town, etc where one could plug in one’s phones or computers for connection. Utility meters and other tech could also be wired, avoiding the extremely damaging bodily trespass of microwave radiation.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I'm a 69 y/o resident of Portland, Oregon. In fall of 2019, I became aware that my behavior & energy levels had changed significantly. I can only describe it as a thick brain fog/zombie-like state. I didn't know why. Then, when checking my microwave oven for radiation leakage (it was leaking and I did get cataracts). I was shocked to find I was getting red warning readings whenever I approached the family room phone. This phone was a GE multiple handset phone using DECT technology. We had 7 of them spread throughout all 3 levels of our house in various rooms so that one could call someone in another part of the house and use it as an intercom system. All 7 handsets were emitting harmful levels of electromagnetic radiaton AT ALL TIMES 24/7! I know this because I invested in a meter to detect the amount of radiation. One of those headsets was on my nightstand, mere inches from my head where I was sleeping nightly for years. As soon as we disconnected the phones, the zombie-like condition and my brain fog vanished. Interestingly, around this same time I was walking around the outside of the house when I suddenly felt extremely nauseous, diizzy and began having pains in my head. I was next to our electrical meter. My EMF reader confirmed that it was emitting harmful radiation. PG&E confirmed it had recently switched out our old meter with a new SmartMeter. I asked to have it removed and have had to pay extra money every month since then because "they have to come by to read the meter". The point is, my body and brain had become sensitized/attuned to the frequency of the DECT phone. Consequences to me have been life-altering. I cannot use my cell phone. I cannot be near anyone else's cell phone that is "on" or too close to me without experiencing head pain (different from a typical headache), nausea, and dizziness. I have had to install Ethernet in my house because Wifi causes me physical pain. No more microwave oven. Basically, anytime I am surrounded by other people I am in pain from their cell phones (Ex: waiting rooms, grocery store lines, any group events, etc.). I have become largely homebound as a result. When going out, I have to wear a special cap to shield my head and lessen these effects. I feel head pain from the cell towers along the roads. When 6G rolls out, I fear I will not be able to go anywhere at anytime. The old safety limits are ridiculously high and harmful. Please lower the limits drastically into alignment with other European countries. It is long OVERDUE. You were ordered to a long time ago. There is no excuse for the delay; there are many, many of us out here living greatly diminished lives and suffering when we shouldn't have to. The limitations to my life also cause inconvenience to others, and though they may not feel the physical harm as I do, I know their bodies are being affected nonetheless.

Opposes further 5G and 6G deployment, attributes illness to towers and asks for protection of children.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
NO MORE 5G , 6G. The towers are making us sick. And feel so bad. There are children in this world we deserve the life that God wanted us to have. Stop being greedy, money is not everything in life.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
The US has known for at least since 1971 about the bioeffects of RF wireless radiation exposures from the Naval Medical Research Institute Study titled, “Bibliography of Reported Biological Phenomena and Clinical Manifestations Attributed to Microwave and Radio-Frequency Radiation.” The study listed pages of symptoms resulting from RF exposures that were compiled from over 2,000 global citations on non-ionizing electromagnetic fields proving non-thermal injuries are a common side effect. Many independent studies have been done since then with similar results. There is nothing new under the sun to continue the wait to decide if RF radiation exposures can be harmful. Issue a surgeon general letter warning about RF radiation exposures being a possible carcinogen or harmful to your health with overuse or improper use of any digital device, especially with digital screen time and how it can damage your eyesight. Require labeling to display a similar message on these digital devices just like cigarettes and nicotine. Technology can be beneficial, if it is built, used and taught to be used in a safe and responsible manner. However, overdensification of neighborhoods with 175’ cell towers for Internet of Things, no wired alternative to smart meters and turning vehicles into mobile base stations is going in the wrong direction, consumes too much energy, generates too much electropollution, and makes healthy people chronically ill and/or disabled unnecessarily.

Reports headaches and public-gathering limitations attributed to wireless exposure and nearby smart meter…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I minimize my exposure to wireless radiation because if I don't, I get debilitating headaches. My house is hard-wired to ethernet, but last year my city (Longmont CO) installed smart meters; the "opt-out" was still a smart meter creating dirty electricity. There are 4 smart meters clustered in my neighbor's yard, very close to my bedroom. I would wake up with a headache daily. I purchased a "Blushield" device to help mitigate the effect of the EMFs and that helped with my headaches. It is unbelievable that we don't have a choice about the enormous amount of EMF exposure and many people are suffering greatly. I am lucky that my symptoms are manageable, but it necessitates limiting my exposure; I cannot be in large public gatherings where everyone has their cellphone on (i.e. sporting events, lectures, concerts, etc); the last time I tried this I experienced vertigo, lightheadedness, dizziness, and nausea. PLEASE STUDY THE EFFECTS OF EMFS ON PEOPLE, especially children, as well as plants, insects (bees), and animals, before we continue into next generation 6G, 7G.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
After reading this, it saddens me to know that this 5g cell tower is harming our family and all the other families without knowing it. This WILL be SHUT OFF and I'm not going to stand here and let this stay on. Staying in this household for long periods of time being next to this tower gives me so many side effects that were listed and I can't concentrate nor be as happy as I normally am when I'm away from the 5g tower. For example, In Michigan when we went to camp, I was able to think, do work around the camp ground and not have side effects, and I can actually SLEEP! These cell towers placed around our neighborhoods should be down IMMEDIATELY! No one should feel anger and so much rage as I do or even my family. As said, I have to wear an emf beanie in order to focus and do work on my computer. When the tower was shut off I was able to spend time with my family and not have anxiety or depression. Seeing my dad wake up this Wednesday morning (3/5/25) with rage and anger I knew just then and there that the towers must have been turned back on by ATT. The emf has been my only protection from these cell towers and when I feel sick or stressed the cell tower next to my parents house makes it even worse pain and suffering. This is a very sad and depressing thing that my dad has to go through this pain due to the "ElectroSmog" and seeing his family in pain makes me deeply frustrated and emotional. I am done watching ATT just turn back on the cell tower and making me feel miserable. This is not right and unacceptable! I want to live life happily with my family and enjoy the moments with them and not make life a slow and miserable death. EVERYONE'S HEALTH is on the LINE! Get rid of this cell tower now, Me and my family should not have to move away just because we feel like death. Sincerely, Jacob

Reports digestive symptoms with laptop contact and dizziness near phones, describes wired and distance-ba…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
When holding the laptop in my lap, on my thighs, I get stomach cramps and then diarrhea. This happens consistently. The laptop cannot be touching my body (only finger tips). I needed to take Imodium AD each time to control the diarrhea. The laptop is now kept as far away form my body as possible and put on airplane mode or wired. The cell phone cannot be near my head, as it makes me VERY dizzy. The mobile phone is put on speaker phone and placed on a surface, such as a table or counter top. As cell phones and computer connections have increased from 3G, then 4G and now 5G - - the symptoms have gotten worse and more intense. Health conditions I have that may contribute to sensitivity to EMFs including wireless: Primary Immunodeficiency Disease (Common Variable Immunodeficiency) Health conditions not necessarily associated with my sensitivity to EMFs including wireless, but might be relevant: Migraines and Allergic Asthma The only thing that seems to help is to avoid the wireless phone and the laptop computer from touching my body.

Researchers summarize occupational and military cancer findings, recommend recognizing RF as a human carc…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Carcinogenicity of radio-frequency radiation in the occupational and military setting Prepared jointly by: Elihu Richter, ORCID 0000-0003-3218-7765 Michael Peleg, ORCID 0000-0002-7520-8741 peleg.michael@gmail.com A slightly longer and better formated version is attached as a PDF file. We took part in research reported in the papers in the reference list below. The research provides a strong indication of carcinogenicity of Radio-Frequency Radiation (RFR). The research subjects: Groups of young cancer patients previously exposed to RFR in the military and occupational setting. The exposure: The exposure was from radio communication transmitters, from radar and from electronic warfare. The exposure was repetitive, typically over a year or more. The Israeli Defense Forces exposure levels are guided by the occupational standards set by ICNIRP which allow average power higher by a factor of 5 relative to the ICNIRP recommendations for the general population. Importantly, those standards almost do not limit the peak power of radar pulses provided the average power is within the limits. Power concentrated in strong pulses may be more bioactive as explained in the references. Research methods: The primary information was from the patients; most of them were trained operators, technicians and engineers. For small subgroups of patients, we knew the size of the whole exposed population and thus we were able to estimate cancer Risk Ratios (RR) relative to the general population. For most of the patients the size of the exposed population was not available. Therefore we examined also cancer characteristics since cancer characteristics which are very different from those of cancer patients from the general population indicate an additional carcinogen. We examined Percentage Frequencies (PF) of cancer types and proportion of cancer patients suffering from multiple primaries. The main results: The RRs for cancer in the small subgroups were very high, e.g. 8, and statistically significant. The PF of hematolymphoid cancers was about twice the value in the general population and statistically significant. The two results above are consistent with research results of other research groups in different countries, see table 7 and figure 4 in reference (4) and section 3.4 in reference (3). Proportion of patients suffering multiple primaries as reported in reference (3) was higher by a factor of 4.5 than the value expected in the general population. This indicates a potent carcinogen. Such a dramatic rise in multiple primaries was not observed in our next work (4). The latencies in (4) may not have been long enough to develop multiple primaries. Our recommendations: Radio Frequency Radiation (RFR) should be recognized as a human carcinogen. Limit human exposure to low levels, for example 1μW/cm2 average level and 5μW/cm2 peak pulse level. The suggested level is in the range of known community levels. In the military and the occupational settings, reduce exposures to the lowest possible level, striving to the specifications above. Use Faraday barriers to reduce exposures at the source and personal level and any other means required. Document individual exposures and provide this information to all highly exposed humans. Provide the exposed humans with long-term periodical medical surveillance for cancer and for other health effects. Perform epidemiological cancer research on all known personnel exposed to significant levels of RFR. Please see the detailed recommendation section in reference (4).
