I'm an individual of middle age who has experienced issues with mobile phones and WiFi for many years. I thought it was normal until I started to connect the dots. A couple of years ago I contacted an Environmental Consultant and Electromagnetic Radiation Specialist and he diagnosed me with Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity. My symptoms include head pain, tingling, redness/flushing, burning, fatigue, nausea, and difficulty concentrating. Due to my WiFi sensitivity, I've disabled WiFi and hard-wired my electronics. I keep technology to a minimum. Recently, I had to enable the WiFi to install a new router/modem combo. It was only on for about a half hour but my head felt like it was in a vice. When I finally disabled the WiFi again, the relief was almost instantaneous. My fingers burn if I'm using the computer while it's charging. I installed a landline so that I can use the phone without headaches, but because landlines now operate on VoIP, I have to limit that time as well. I would not let the electric company install a "smart" meter because of the health risks. I think everything "smart" is really dumb because of the EMF and RF exposure. It is getting harder and harder to find a safe place. I recently heard about a woman with such severe EMF that she committed suicide because she couldn't find a safe haven. It is very sad. Now these data centers are going up everywhere, too. I wish the government would do something to prevent this “smart” technology from taking over and destroying our lives and making us sick because whether people have symptoms or not, it is killing all of us!

I strongly suggest that my son died from EMF exposure from using an early model cell phone. His brain cancer tumor (glioblastoma) was shaped like a cone with its originating tip adjacent to his right ear. This was an earlier cell phone used approximately 2015 - 2018, when the cell phone transmitter was located adjacent to the right ear. Who was a young man, very socially connected, who always had his cell phone up to his ear while talking to his friends.

I live beside a cell tower and feel like it has greatly affected my health. The worst of it happening after 5G came to my area. I suffer from the following symptoms and health issues. - Insomnia - Severe anxiety - Ringing in my ears (tinnitus) - Hypothyroidism - Anemia - My body being unable to regulate temperature. I’m excessively hot to the point I feel like my skin is on fire. - High heart rate - Brain fog - Tremors - Full body inflammation - Menstrual cycle changes - Muscle and joint pain - Severe fatigue EMF sensitivity is something that kept coming up when I would google my symptoms. As I started paying more attention I noticed the brain fog, ringing in my ears, fatigue, and joint paint would stop while being away from home for 3-5 days.

I’m interested in learning about how having an electrical box near you bed can affect your health. Since moving into our new home, I’ve had health issues and wonder if this could be related. When I look at trying to move my meter or replace it with an analog meter, I’m met with extreme expenses and push back from my electric company. Please help

I discovered many years ago with the help of my physician that I am extremely EMF sensitive. I had chronic anxiety, digestive issues and atopic dermatitis that would not resolve with any known medical interventions. It was not until my doctor recommended that I try turning off the wifi (which was located on my desk) that my issues began to resolve. I actually had what looked like a radiation burn on my torso that finally went away within 24 hours of turning off the wifi router. We then permanently left the wifi off and returned to ethernet cable for our entire household. Within about 72 hours my digestive issues, chronic anxiety, panic attacks and difficulty sleeping fully resolved. Occasionally we have to use our wifi and if we forget to turn it off at night my anxiety and insomnia instantly returns.

My hand and forearm hurt when I hold my cellphone too long. When I work on my laptop, I get extremely tired and feel so much better when I get away from it. Dr. Sharon Goldberg testified before the Michigan Senate in 2018 on the dangers wireless does to humans in a fight to stop the rollout of 5G. She stated that PubMed is full of studies that prove 2G, 3G, 4G are detrimental to our health.

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. Although I have not knowingly been harmed by wireless radiation, I have noticed insomnia and disrupted sleep patterns when I stay at hotels in larger cities where the exposure is more pronounced than when I’m home. I also have friends who believe that wireless radiation exposure has led them to have headaches, brain fog, memory issues, and tinnitus. They are incredibly sensitive to these frequencies and it has affected where they can live and visit. 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 do not want cell towers above my home and neighborhood. We need to do better.

Wireless radiation has impacted my life and my family's life in the most deleterious ways imaginable. It started 27 years ago when I first tried to use a cell phone. Head pain, ear pain, heating of my ear and facial tissue, memory loss and brain fog began for me, then in 1999. Over the years my symptoms have gradually worsened. At first I could use a cell phone, but only to send text messages. Then, I had to move to a rural area, away from cell towers, and could only send texts with the phone on a "selfie"-stick. By 2015 I was keeping my cell in a faraday bag 99% of the time. By 2020 I had to get rid of the cell phone entirely, which is challenging at minimum in today's world, and dangerous at times given the lack of safe alternatives, such as payphones which no longer are available. For example, when I'm not at home and close to a landline, schools cannot reach me if my children are hurt or sick or there is any kind of emergency. When we travel, (and we like to go camping every summer), I cannot call a tow truck or a police officer if there's an emergency. Now that my children are teens, they want to have a cell phone. Unfortunately I have to have them keep their phone in a faraday bag at all times and they can only use it when they are far away from me, or at least 45 feet away from our house at the edge of the yard! If their friends come over, they have a hard time understanding they have to turn their cell phones off. Their parents don't trust someone who won't let their kids keep in contact with them by cell phone, which means my kids have fewer friends and social events. I am not able to go to my daughter's STEAM Bowls, where she's always selected to compete, nor to her awards ceremonies, when she is honored for her academic achievements. I tried to attend my grand daughter's band concert, and could not stay in the auditorium with all the cell phones around me. I am unable to wait in doctors' or dentists' offices. I can't pick up my daughter's eyeglasses for the same reason--every person is holding/using a cell phone in the waiting area. I no longer am able to work out at the gym--I have to quickly put on my sneakers and head for the door, getting my work out by walking around outside, because everyone inside the gym is using a cell phone. I cannot use or be around any wireless devices, such as wireless printers, laptops, or tablets. Police officers and firemen make my head hurt very badly with all their wireless devices. I can't see a doctor because their whole office is under wifi and they are always using a wireless laptop and phone, as well. I was given an MRI by a well-meaning but obviously uninformed neurologist and spent 4 months with severe headache, memory loss, tinnitus and insomnia. The worst part is the total isolation that this is pushing me into, unable to go out and among my fellow human beings. I shudder to think what would happen if I ever need to go into the hospital. My doctor tells me "This is not what I believe, but, the medical consensus is that this (EHS) is not real. So I can't help you. Insurance won't pay for it." For 27 years I am shunted out of society and left to survive without any support or treatment. I have even developed early onset Alzheimer's, which is inevitable for people with EHS, because we cannot avoid being exposed to EMR in public, nor at home, from neighbors' wifi and nearby cell towers. Exposure causes brain inflammation, amyloid plaques, tau tangles, Alzheimer's. The link between EMR and neurological degeneration must be investigated. We need SIGNIFICANT investigation into the dangers of wireless radiation, NOW. I worry about my children, my grandchildren, and all the people of the world being exposed to harmful electromagnetic radiation. There is research proving that EMR negatively affects biological life on all levels, from military research into microwaves and ELF to the work of John O. Becker in his book, "The Body Electric," & recent research. And PLEASE stop allowing the military-industrial complex to cover up the harm that EMR (electromagnetic radiation) is wreaking on society! And all of the people suffering from EHS (electro-hypersensitivity), as a result of the blanket of EMR that is everywhere today, should be protected and given accommodations so that we can access public places again. Just like blind and deaf and wheel-chair-bound individuals, we need to be able to enter government offices, go to the doctor/dentist, ride on the bus or take an airplane, or even eat in a restaurant or go to the store. Today, with private and government entities pushing people to use cell phones for everything (and often denying service to those who won't or can't), the EMR is nothing less than ubiquitous and many of us are suffering terribly because of it. We need studies to see if more and more people will become electro-hypersensitive and what harm is being caused to humans and biological life. Please help us! Sincerely.

I'm being hit in the head , heart body with low EMF frequencies by a three letter agency it has sent me to the hospital with severe heart issues , low heart rate , high rate , breathing , extreme sickness from radiation ,mood and behavioral changes , microwaved at high heat , the towers are being used against us as a form of torture. This needs to be looked into.
