I became electro hypersensitive after being over exposed to a mobile phone mast while on holiday back in 2017. Since then I have become steadily worse with regards to the symptoms I experience when exposed to anything emitting non ionizing radiation. I become dizzy with headaches, tinnitus, numbness in my face, a heavy weight on my body, extreme fatigue, chest pain and breathlessness. I cannot use a mobile phone for calls and just holding my old basic mobile (with no wifi) can cause shocks and numbness in my hands. Despite my internet router having wifi turned off and in a sliver bloc YFry bag I have to limit my time online. I also place silver bloc material over my laptop. I sleep in a silver bloc canopy which is grounded as my flat is surrounded by masts. One 4G monopole (80 meters from my flat) and two 5G monopole's one 100 meters the other 50 meters. My flat is in a line of sight. I had to get a financial loan to shield my living room with EMF shielding paint so I could use it. Every day I am affected as masts are everywhere. Even visiting friends with wifi or going into a cafe or library is difficult and at times impossible. I fear for my future and worry I will become worse the more this technology is rolled out. My home phone is now very difficult to use since I was forced onto digital voice. I can only use it on speaker in a YFry bag and only for around 10 minutes. I miss chatting with my family and friends. I live in Scotland and I have traveled a great deal in my country but there are few places if any to escape from this. The odd time I have found somewhere with no mobile phone signal or masts in sight my tinnitus has reduced significantly as well as my other symptoms.
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.
When I was in college, Write State University, I wrote a paper on EMF radiation. This was back in the 90's. At that time my report showed how dangerous even a clock radio or electric blanket was to a human. I can only imagine with the 5G + today, how much damage this radiation is doing to the human body today, not to mention to children.
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.
Please read the research by Dr. Joseph Mercola as well as A Midwestern Doctor on Substack, and so many more who have poured over the research saying how the EMFs from many technologies, but especially wireless, jeopardizes brain health(esp in young children) and bodily health. Researchers who compare the radiation around the globe 20 years ago with today’s radiation levels find astoundingly distressing thick radiation nowadays. Cell towers need to be severely limited and should have a shield to protect the people from harm. We need to consider wired options but truly curtail wireless technology or put more safeguards in play until we know more about its adverse effects on health.
In 2006, I moved into an apartment complex in Aurora Colorado, just East of Denver. It was quiet and friendly. Then Smart Meters were installed. Residents began waking up in the middle of the night, fighting and screaming. That woke the dogs up, and it got much worse. The energies of those things are turbulent and hurtful. They are also horrific privacy violators, collecting data neither the companies nor government has any right to without a warrant.

I have an M.D. degree and am also a graduate of Harvard Medical School's Global Clinical Scholars Research Training program. and have read some of the research to date on possible adverse effects of EMFs, RF radiation, and wireless radiation exposure and have concerns for my own health and the health of my family.
Based on research that I have read to date, I believe that HHS should further investigate. Because of my concerns about 5G wireless radiation, when I needed a new phone recently, I purchase a 4G phone which was somewhat difficult to obtain because almost every company has "upgraded" to 5G, and I have read that we are rushing toward 6G now, without sufficient research on the human health effects, though what is available to read is highly concerning in my opinion. Although I have not been personally involved in radiation research, my research training at Harvard has trained me to read research critically, and I believe what we do know to date should urge us to investigate the potential for harm before we rush headlong into an even higher potential level of risk..

My older sister has been dealing with EMF related problems for approximately 10 years. It has escalated into such a debilitating disease that she has difficulty going anywhere public. Cell phones, electronics, etc. will stimulate pain in her face and cause havoc with her body. I also was exposed to other people with this condition when I worked in a health food store that sold supplements. Cell towers every where exacerbates problems for these folks. I personally struggle with chemical sensitivities and have heard/read that it can lead to EMF problems so I am very aware of this situation. We are all fooling ourselves into thinking that this stuff doesn't affect us and I wonder about the younger generation who are exposed 24/7. Regulation is definitely needed and all this equipment surrounding us is going to have consequences.
Wireless radiation has caused headaches and other negative health effects in my family. Some i know believe cancers were caused by these towers. There have been schools where many children and teachers have fallen ill after installation of the 5g towers near them. Please stop and take look into the effects of these towers. Frequencies affect us all.
Please stop putting up these electronic devices that hurt people, birds and animals. Proper research and care must be taken so no harm is done. Please be mindful of our caretaker responsibility for our earth which we are custodians too.
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 as the mother of a child on the autism spectrum. As a parent, I want to understand the environmental factors that may affect my child’s health, development, and daily well-being so I can make informed decisions.
Wireless technology is part of everyday life in our homes, schools, and public spaces. Parents need clear, trustworthy information about exposure and whether children, including those with developmental differences, may have particular vulnerabilities that warrant further study.
I am not claiming that wireless radiation caused my child’s autism. I am asking HHS to take parents’ questions seriously and support rigorous research that helps us understand whether these exposures affect children’s sleep, attention, sensory regulation, or other aspects of their health. Families should not be left to sort through conflicting claims without meaningful guidance. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Federal agencies with expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health should carefully evaluate the scientific evidence and listen respectfully to individuals and families who report being affected.
I urge HHS to identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and prioritize research that includes children on the autism spectrum. Please translate the findings into clear, practical guidance that parents and schools can use, including what is known, what remains uncertain, and whether measures to reduce exposure are warranted. As a mother, I want answers grounded in sound science and a genuine commitment to protecting children’s health. Thank you for giving families an opportunity to be heard
