I have suffered from EHS for some years now. The nature and severity of the symptoms I experience varies according the level of exposure.
The symptoms include headaches, muscle aches and pains, tinnitus, severely disturbed sleep, and difficulty with recall, walking, talking (finding the right words, putting the words in the right order and actually speaking them), concentrating, logical thinking, focusing the eyes etc. and with prolonged exposure can become more severe to include problems with coordination and motor control e.g. I can reach out for one object but either knock it over or pick-up the one next to it, go to operate one control (switch, button, knob) and operate the one next to it, go to click on one object on the computer screen and get the one next to it, etc. and constantly drop, spill, bump into or damage things, and injure myself whilst cooking, washing-up and doing DIY etc. It can also cause skin rashes and/or the sensation of insects crawling over the skin.
After taking all possible measures to reduce my exposure (including no wireless tech at all) all of the above symptoms improved, but did not stop completely as I was still subject to constant EMF exposure from mobile phone masts and my neighbour’s mobiles, wi-fi, smart meters etc., as well as those outside when I left my home. So I have moved from a large village in the UK to rural France where the nearest mobile masts are 1.2 km away on the other side of a hill, with an electricity meter which does not use radio frequencies and is a 100m from my house, and my nearest neighbours are 300m away so out of the range of their wireless devices, which has further improved my symptoms.
Like many fellow sufferers I stay at home most of the time and avoid going to public places and any built environments as much as possible. When absolutely necessary (e.g. to go to the shops, doctor, dentist etc.) I wear protective head gear to reduce the exposure and spend as little time there as possible, This still results in symptoms which may take anything from a few hours, or a day or two, to fully recover from.
Life for EHS suffers is like living in a permanent Covid Lockdown, staying at home, going out only when absolutely necessary, wearing protection, and keeping your distance from other people as much as possible due to their mobile phones. (Which is much harder than lockdown as others aren’t also trying to keep away from you) Consequently we can’t enjoy the normal social activities like going to the theatre, cinema, restaurants, bars, clubs, gyms, sports or music events, holidays etc. I was able to retire early but for others finding a safe work environment is extremely difficult, if not impossible.
We can’t use public transport, or travel in electric cars and need to have very low tech cars unless all wireless functionality can be permanently disabled and both electric and magnetic fields of the other electrical systems of the car are low at their seated position.
We can’t use wireless devices so any government, local authority, or private business systems which rely on the use of mobile phones and don’t have a suitable wired alternative method to use their services are discriminatory against us.
There is wealth of evidence of the harm caused by EMFs both to humans and the natural world, please see the attached document for a summary (with links and comments / observations) on a sample of published documents, findings and statements of official bodies such as the WHO, European Parliament, UNESCO, Courts of Law, FCC, and ICNIRP on the effects of EMFs and the actions deemed necessary (but not being taken).
Although mobile phones intermittently signal to the masts to register their current location, the main source of 2G-5G radiation is during phone calls and texts, however wi-fi and Bluetooth are transmitting continuously, whether they are in use or not, and their signal levels are much higher than the phone signals. So a very simple way to reduce exposure would be to mandate that all wireless devices should disable wi-fi and Bluetooth if they are not being actively used after say 20 seconds, it is simple matter to make Apps automatically enable them again when they need them, and no great hardship to have to manually enable them for pairing. (This would also dramatically increase the battery life of mobile phones)
For mains powered products, although no doubt driven by the desire to cut manufacturing costs, the trend to move away from products with earthed / grounded metal cases to double-insulated products with plastic cases and only a two-wire power cord has led to, in many cases very significant, increase in the radiation of EMFs.

THE STATEMENT ON INDIVIDUAL SENSITIVITY TO WIRELESS RADIATION
Part of the population considers themselves sensitive to the man-made electromagnetic radiation emitted by wireless communication devices and networks (wireless radiation). It is logical to consider that the sensitivity to wireless radiation exists, like individual sensitivities to all environmental pollutants, whether natural or man-made.
The sensitivity, called microwave disease, or electromagnetic hyper-sensitivity (EHS), or idiopathic environmental intolerance attributed to electromagnetic fields (IEI-EMF), is characterized by a variety of non-specific symptoms that the self-declared sensitive persons claim to experience when exposed to wireless radiation.
My systematic review of the to-date research on possible causes of sensitivity to wireless radiation has concluded that studies are of insufficient quality to find the link between wireless radiation exposures and sensitivity symptoms experienced by some persons [1]. As I presented it, the scientific methodology used to discover it is of insufficient quality because it focuses on psychological reactions of the affected persons instead of examining biochemical and physiological effects of wireless exposures in human volunteers. To date, studies attempting to examine biochemical markers of sensitivity are of very poor and unreliable quality [2, 3].
The WHO, the ICNIRP, and the IEEE-ICES all agree that the symptoms experienced by the affected persons are a real-life impairment, but neither of the organizations nor governments has demonstrated any intention to find out what the biochemical/physiological cause of the symptoms is. Performed by me a analysis of the public health policies around the world has shown that the self-declared sensitive persons are not taken care by the available public health policies. Sensitive persons are left to fend for themselves in their support groups or are advised to seek care from physicians whose medical education doesn’t include the issue of individual sensitivity to wireless radiation or the effects of wireless radiation on the human body [4, 5].
Currently, there is a strong scientific disagreement within the scientific community, which is divided into two strongly opposing camps, about how dangerous to health exposures to wireless radiation are. Attempts to find a scientific consensus are being mostly dismissed [6].
The only way to find out the cause of symptoms experienced by persons self-declared as sensitive to wireless radiation is to perform human volunteer studies where biochemical and physiological effects of exposures to wireless radiation will be examined. Such studies are ethically possible, as shown in a research study published by my research group [7]. In my recent review, I have justified this approach and proposed ways to proceed [8].

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
While it is important for HHS and other federal agencies to re-examine exposure guidelines and assessment methods for what the general public thinks of when it comes to RF and wireless radiation exposure - cell phones/towers, WiFi, smart meters, etc - we believe there is a more critical issue to examine. Kilohertz frequencies in the range of 2-150 kHz, commonly known as dirty electricity and dubbed supraharmonics by IEEE, are a ubiquitous pollutant on our nation's electrical grid. These frequencies are generated by modern electronic devices (non-linear loads) and superimposed on the nominal 60 Hz electrical waveform supplying our homes, businesses, schools, and government buildings with electricity. In about 2013, IEEE recognized this range of frequencies as supraharmonics, noting their deleterious effects on utility and consumer equipment and devices. Long before this - going back to at least the 1890s - scientists and government agencies had studied the biological effects of these and other frequencies. The scientific literature is not lacking in findings of physiological harm caused by exposure to electrical signals, whether conducted, transmitted, or radiated, and at levels far lower than the out-of-date exposure standards in place in the US. For example, Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for transmitted RF only accounts for the amount of energy it takes to heat human cells, completely ignoring other physiological responses that may (and do) occur at comparatively miniscule exposures. Setting more reasonable and more cautious exposure standards, especially for kilohertz frequencies in the 2-150 kHz range, is paramount to the health of our nation's citizens. A reasonable approach to limiting conducted kilohertz frequencies is enforcing strict standards on electrical and electronic device manufacturers. Simple, cheap harmonic filtration circuits built into any device internally generating kilohertz frequencies should be employed to prevent such frequencies from exiting the device whereby they propagate on electrical wiring in homes and other buildings, as well as the utility electrical grid at large. The proliferation of non-linear loads should have been accompanied by stiffening of utility neutral conductors on the US electrical grid. This was never done by most utilities, and never broadly adopted as standard practice, despite studies showing its effectiveness at eliminating numerous issues on utility systems. The information HHS is requesting herein has a much broader scope than it may anticipate. We offer our services to HHS and other federal agencies should they find further information is required as this investigation moves forward. Please feel free to contact us. See attached files.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am a retired professor injured by bio-electromagnetic classified research:
I was living in a condo near two Marine Air bases. Local defense contractors were on my advisory board. I became vocal about EMF health effects concerned for my students working on computer monitors. I was unaware at that time that I was living in a neighborhood where classified bio-electromagnetic research was being conducted. In 1993 I was exposed in the middle of the night to a very high dose radiation. I had a delayed reaction and became very ill and was eventually evaluated at local universities. My nervous system and immune system were seriously impacted. I have over the years developed many related serious health complications. For years after I was being vibrated & shocked in my home at night. I would wake up throwing up with migraines. I tried to consider anything that could be wrong in my home or with me that could have caused my illness. Eventually engineering of my home and my medical conditions indicated exposure to radiation not a normal medical or household condition.
A radiation expert doctor determined that there was evidence within my injury that could only be caused by radiation. He thought that it was more likely that I was exposed to mixed frequency non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation rather than ionizing radiation although he could not be sure. He told me that mixed frequency non-ionizing radiation could cause the same damage as ionizing radiation and that the military refused to acknowledge this.
A PhD physicist who was aware of what was going on locally told me that the vibrations I felt were called infrasound, likely caused by pulsed radio-frequency or pulsed lasers. He believed I was living in a research project and to hire an acoustic engineer. An acoustic engineer evaluated my home and found industrial levels 2hz and 4hz infrasound. They jumped up in intensity when I laid down in bed indicating something rigged there. My neurologist told me 2hz and 4hz are deep sleep frequencies. An article in U.S. News & World Report called “Wonder Weapons” indicated classified research of the Air Force involving infrasound nonlethal weapons and sleep. Years later I found out that my condo might have been built for research. National Institute of Justice told me that the bio-electromagnetic infrasound research developed over the years into an infrasound nonlethal weapon used now by all law-enforcement agencies. There seems to be no regulation on its use. I moved but the problems came with me as electrical engineers and my utility company found harmonics coming into my home and intensifying in my home. (all prior to smart meters.)
What I have done to reduce exposures in my home:
removed the GFI outlets, dimmer switches, no fluorescent, LED or halogen lighting (only old fashioned incandescent bulbs), changed doorbell to mechanical & the smoke alarms & clocks to battery, garage door opener extended to unplug it when home, everything unplugged when not in use,rid of my cable TV line & phone land line -were transmitting throughout home. No smart meters, No WiFi, no Bluetooth, no security system Still, my home is periodically whistling and buzzing with vibrations that are very painfully irritating at times. A meter indicates there are still high levels of harmonics on the electric lines.
Possiblities considering: to install three pole switches or a harmonics filter however you have to be careful with filtering because when you filter one harmonic out another frequency can emerge stronger and cause a worse problem Or install an isolation transformer
Government response: less than minimal:
I have been acknowledged as having this radiation injury from classified research but no one will stop my exposures. Director of the DOD hotline told me what happened to me was a violation of the Terrorist Act, involved torture and human rights abuse but I had to go to the FBI. The FBI gave me a fake case number. 1994 memorandum indicated the DOJ was conducting cooperative research with the DOD on nonlethal weapons. IG at both agencies say it is not their jurisdiction. Found classified research of the JNLWP (Joint Nonlethal Weapons Program). Air Force was in charge of human effects. JNLWP is now part of JIFCO. Air Force AL/OER head of radiobiological research complaints, Armstrong Lab sent my summary to Surgeon General’s Office requesting him to investigate suggesting the Navy was also implicated but Air Force turned down helping me said to inquire at Kirkland Air Force Base who told me they were told not to talk to me. Directed Energy Directorate is at Kirtland Air Force Base. I met with NASA criminal investigators -forwarded my case to OSI & NCI but no response. Attorney General for California turned it down. Private attorneys won’t take the case due to national security involved.

Since 5G towers were erected very close to my residential home, 1 just across the road and two larger ones placed near a college near me and other further up by a supermarket. Since they were erected I have had constant buzzing, pitches in my ears, heart palpitations, dizziness, nausea, nose bleeds every other day, Unable to focus and concentrate, upset stomach and insomnia. The symptoms intensified at night when the buzzing in the ears intensifies in pitch. Hair coming out my head when I brush it. Feeling exhausted all the time, flu like symptoms and asthma has got really bad. My muscles and joints ache all the time. Very low mood and feeling wired yet exhaustedThese symptoms only started when these towers were erected close to my home.
