The commenter describes EMF sensitivity with severe head-pain episodes, early retirement and relocation, …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My sensitivity to EMF started a long time ago. At first I was dumbfounded - why was I having such a terrible pain in my head, coming over me like a rush and leaving me flat on the floor writhing in pain No one could touch me, I would loose control of my bladder, wincing at both light and sound, screaming for hours. At first these strange episodes would lead me to an ambulance ride to the hospital. The hospital staff performed all kinds of test, even an MRI ( I also have MS) but nothing as a cause could be found. It got so bad that on one of these visits a nurse stuck her head in and said I thought I recognized that screaming. These attacks would last for hours, leave me screaming and gradually I would return, although drained and exhausted, to normal life. Now this phenomena was called ice pick headaches and thunder clap headaches. A misnomer really since it was not a continuing ache but a very violent pain. It was first when I vacationed on my friend's 80 acre spread of pure nature in AK that it became clear that being away from civilization would do me good. For 2 weeks I no longer had these mysterious episodes! Yay - I was cured, I was free and I had nothing to fear! Well, coming back to Oregon I gradually felt the anxiousness and worry creeping back in. My partner disconnected the modem to the house and would later test me by leaving his phone on next to me and observe. It was very unknown back then (2010-ish) and people would think me weird. A blue toothed reader was mounted on the meter of the house and it set me off, a new neighbor moved in and 5G became the norm. I was devastated. Sold my house, retired early from my teaching position at the college and took to the road in an RV in search of a quiet area. COVID hit and everything became more difficult and more dangerous. After a year of fruitlessly searching for a place I ended up in a ravine ( geographically that works since signals do not penetrate)in the woods, in an HOA that has no streetlights and a requirement of 2.5 acres for each dwelling. Good for me. We have lived here 5 years plus, electrical cars have come on the market and it is hard to find any appliancecarfunction of society that does not rely on WIFI. For fear of having an attack I cannot drive a vehicle anymore, cannot shop for groceries, cannot participate in most activities anywhere and am basically a homebody. A refuge without a safe space. Luckily my partner has set me up with ethernet so I can check email etc. I don protective clothing and keep my doctors' visits to a minimal. My friends have to park their cars up on the road, put cellphones, hearing aides, Apple watches etc, etc in a faraday box that makes it impossible to receive a signal. I scan them with a device that measures EMF and RF. The best way to deal with my situation is to simply find a low( to nothing )area of EMF and stay put. What a way to live! This phenomena has been recognized as a disability in both Sweden and Canada. I would go home to Sweden but I cannot fly anymore. Please recognize this as a legitimate modern illness and since the cat is already out of the bag - be careful. The damage is done and continues to harm everything on a cellular level.

A parent and engineer asks whether prolonged low-level EMF exposure affects cellular electrical signaling…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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 a mom, an engineer with a passion for understanding how the body works. Bioelectricity is fundamental to cellular function. External electromagnetic fields interact with biological tissues. Certain exposure conditions can alter physiology and, at sufficient intensities, cause harm. A key question is lower exposure over prolonged periods of time. As well as impact to growing babies / kids vs adults. Can external EMFs alter the electrical gradients and signaling mechanisms that cells need to function? Do particular electromagnetic exposures measurably alter nervous-system function, and are some individuals more responsive? There are enough concerning findings in this report to warrant further research - Zorach Glaser's Bibliography of Reported Biological Phenomena ('Effects') and Clinical Manifestations Attributed to Microwave and Radio-Frequency Radiation, originally published in 1971 and revised in 1972. 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. Wireless radiation significantly impacts the environment we live in compared with our ancestors. And may be a key factor in increased health issues. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Anything that has a health risk concern like EMF, radio frequency, wireless exposure SHOULD be change to: any EMF, radio frequency, wireless frequency system SHALL HAVE a monitoring system at every at risk device and SHALL be monitored, maintained and possibly removed if those risk potentially cause harm to humans, animals and/or nature. All systems SHALL be within safe distance not to cause harm.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
The Green Bay, Wisconsin police are busy blasting everyone with directed energy weapons in northeast Wisconsin because they are ran by a satanic cult connected to Hollywood and Scientology. It seems to be connected to families like the Goubeaux family, Barr family, Podesta family, Marcks family, Baldwin family, Hilton family and others.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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, personally, feel heart palpitations and eye irritation anytime I am near wireless towers and/or 5G small cells or small-cell antennas. They are popping up all over and are causing great dis-regulation. 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. Sincerely, Keren O. Kalimian

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am 76 years old and I have seen the general health and wellbeing of the people around me deteriorate at an alarming rate. I have always avoided exposure to high frequency electronics and radio frequencies and I am relatively healthy for 76 and take no prescription medications on a daily basis. Please take the serious concern of our fellow Americans for these issues seriously. Once the damage is done- it cannot be undone. As a professional Architect, if I was proposing a new building etc. for an environmentally sensitive area, many studies would have to be done before approval. Nothing is more environmentally sensitive than our children and grandchildren. Care MUST be taken now to protect them. Thank you for your consideration.

The commenter reports 5G sensitivity, palpitations, painful phone contact, insomnia and fatigue, describe…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Dear Department of Health and Human Services, I am writing to formally report severe and ongoing adverse health effects that I attribute to exposure to 5G radiation. I first became aware of my extreme sensitivity to 5G in 2020. According to available data, 2020–2021 marked the peak years of the initial mass rollout of 5G infrastructure worldwide. In 2020, I began experiencing severe heart palpitations and sought emergency medical care. Physicians performed an electrocardiogram (EKG) and blood tests for cardiac enzymes; all results were reported as normal. I left the emergency room without any medical explanation for the sudden onset of these cardiac symptoms. After conducting my own research, I obtained a device designed to mitigate the effects of 5G radiation on the human body. Immediately after plugging the device into a wall outlet, my heart palpitations ceased. Since 2021, I have been required to use a 5G-compatible cellular phone. Whenever my fingertips contact the phone’s screen, I experience a burning sensation. After only one to two minutes of contact, my fingertips become completely numb. I researched mitigation options and purchased specialized gloves for handling the phone, as well as a stylus for typing. Without these protective measures, any direct contact with the phone causes pain. Even with them, touching the device produces shock-like sensations that travel up my arm and into my shoulder, resulting in significant bodily pain. I also have noticed that when I hold my phone close to my body, that I experience pain in the area that the phone is closest to. To continue mitigation efforts, I have needed to purchase protective clothing to use during my workday on the computer. I have also developed extreme insomnia, characterized by difficulty falling asleep, frequent nighttime awakenings, and early-morning awakening. The only reliable method I have found to obtain sleep is to unplug my Wi-Fi router at night. On occasions when a family member uses Wi-Fi late at night and forgets to disconnect it, I routinely awaken between 2:00 am and 3:00 a.m. and am unable to return to sleep. Additionally, on days of heavy 5G exposure I experience profound fatigue and extreme tiredness that severely impair my ability to function during the day. None of these symptoms occur when I am in natural environments far removed from 5G infrastructure. However, such areas have become increasingly difficult to locate. I am deeply concerned about the forthcoming deployment of 6G technology. I believe that 5G—and especially 6G—has the potential to harm human health, animal life, and the broader natural environment. For me personally, continued exposure could prove debilitating or worse. I therefore respectfully demand meaningful reductions in ambient levels of this radiation and urge rigorous independent investigation into its biological effects. Thank you for your attention to this serious matter. I am prepared to provide additional details or documentation upon request.
