Reports headaches, bodily vibrations and cardiac flutter associated with wireless sources, and describes …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I started noticing in early 2000 that I was experiencing unusual symptoms when I would go to the larger towns that were installing the 5G towers. My first experience my body began vibrating and other people actually could feel it if they hugged me. I then began experiencing a mild headache that proceeded to get worse as the day went on. By the time I got home I was feeling as if I was getting a cold, which never came to fruition, but I was aware something was different in the environment. I fortunately live in a very rural area and currently have no towers near my house. At that time I owned a cell phone for only a couple years and by 2024, I had to get rid of it as it was causing my heart to have fluttering and my left hand that I carried it in began to swell. I now have hard wired service at my home and must avoid all larger cities in my state that have high EMF/RF frequencies. It's a horrible feeling when I do need to go to those areas as it obviously makes me ill feeling with the stimulation to my mitochondria.

A former flight attendant reports diagnosed chemical and EMF intolerance following aircraft-fume exposure…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
1. & 2. I am responding as: 3a. Type of wireless or RF/EMF sources involved (e.g., mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters…)Wi-Fi/Smart Meters/Mobile Phones/MM Wave Airport Scanners/Cell phone towers 3b. Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years):Since 2018 - Inability to sleep in an environment with Wi-Fi, extreme headaches, nausea. Extreme pain in legs after going through an MM Wave airport scanner inadvertently for the first and only time - I have peripheral neuropathy of my lower limbs. 3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced:As above. 3d. Time from first exposure to first appearance of adverse health effects; and did a change in exposure coincide with the onset of adverse effects:My situation and intolerance to EMF’s was, I believe, caused by my exposure to fumes onboard aircraft which contain organophosphates. I worked for 20 years as a Flight Attendant and was acutely and chronically exposed to the chemical fumes. I have sensory issues amongst other health effects including brain injury and peripheral neuropathy as a result. I developed multiple chemical sensitivity in 2017 and EMF sensitivity in 2018. 3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis?I have a diagnosis of Environmental Intolerance (Chemical and EMF’s) from my doctor. Not Idiopathic - as my doctor knows what caused it. I also have a diagnosis of Organophosphate Poisoning. 3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects?I moved to a rural area of France with minimal mobile phone signal and into an old property with thick stone walls and no near neighbours. My laptop is hardwired and Wi-Fi in the house is limited to just 30 minutes twice a day. Avoidance is the only remedy and the only way to reduce/eliminate exposure. 3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information:I have some scientific reports, but i’m sure you have them already. I don’t have an exposure measurements - I know exposure here is minimal. I moved away in order to avoid exposure as much as possible. I live a very different lifestyle these days which includes an organic diet, no chemicals in the house, and minimal exposure to EMF’s. The area I live in is an organic farming area and life is at a slower pace. Additional Details you would like to share about your experiences of adverse health effects you believe to be associated with exposure to wireless radiation or EMF's:No, I think I have covered it; but generally, I feel that unless you are personally affected or understand the true science on the issue, you can’t even begin to understand what people like me have gone through or the lengths we have gone to for our health - as well as our sanity. I have been lucky in that my doctor will read scientific papers, has fully investigated my health and understands the effects EMF’s can cause me. He gave me an exemption for the smart meters here in France and an exemption for the MM Wave airport scanners (for the very rare occasions I have to fly). B1a. Sources you experience as causing you Adverse Effects: B1b. Sources you can sense, but don't seem to harm you: B1c. Sources you can use without sensing or being harmed: B1d. Sources that seem to provide benefit (i.e., electrotherapy): B2a. Health conditions you think may contribute to your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless: B2b. Health conditions you don't necessarily associate with your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless, but might be relevant: B3. For each subquestion please list up to 5 drugs or therapies or home remedies (if any) B3a. That you recommend, as they helped you tolerate or recover from EMF exposure: B3b. That you recommend, but you’re not positive that they help: B3c. That helped you but you don’t recommend. (e.g., the benefit did not last long or the side effects were too harmful): B3d. Treatments that had no effect: B3e. Treatments that made your sensitivity worse: B4. What is your age range? B5.

The commenter reports sleeping in a car outside Nashville because they associate urban 5G and Wi-Fi expos…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
The 5G fiber optic and large amounts of WiFi in apartment complexes has made it impossible for me to live inside the city. I still work in Nashville TN but I cannot sleep there’s I have to sleep in my car and drive out 35 minutes out of town every night in order to actually get somewhat productive sleep. My story is in this YouTube video. I have gone through enormous troubles with this. Suffice it to say it must be severely difficult, and I must have tried everything else I could think of before sleeping in my car full time year round. Without any HVAC during the nights. Even when I could technically fall asleep inside the city, my mental and cognitive health was so unbearably bad that I could not function or feel stable at all while I was trying to make it work sleeping in the city. nnEMF drastically inhibits the body’s ability to produce neurotransmitters, so when I am feeling irrationally angry, depressed, completely unable to focus or think clearly, and it those problems vanish when I actually start sleeping well by sleeping outside of the 5G range, it is obvious that I was feeling so completely unstable as I was because the 5G was making it impossible for my brain to produce neurotransmitters (dopamine, serotonin,etc) correctly. I have never done cocaine, but from what I have heard, the crash afterwards is absolutely horrendous, because cocaine artificially releases all of the dopamine in your body (or way way more than normal). So the next day, your dopamine tank is way way emptier than it would ever be otherwise. I have never done cocaine, but I still felt the same crash, because 5G kept my brain from being able to make dopamine. Check out David Herrera “Solar Athlete.” His breakdown of this science has really helped me as well as his protocols for getting healthier. But make no mistake, those protocols aren’t going to make it possible to just tough it out. You still have to get out of the 5G coverage. One more thing. I really truly see that if we continue on this path, severe mental health problems are going to skyrocket. Schizophrenia, borderline, suicidal ideation, severe depression and anxiety, (the actually scary kind) where you really don’t feel in control. All of these disorders are downstream effects of the body not being able to properly produce or balance neurotransmitters and hormones. And because 5G seems so nebulous (many people don’t feel it or notice that they feel it) , also because mental health problems seem so nebulous, I fear that these problems will skyrocket as a direct effect of 5 and 6 G severely oppressing our physiology BUT NO ONE WILL REALIZE THAT 5G IS THE MAIN CAUSE , so they will send all of these otherwise normal people to institutions or write them off as crazy and leave them to the streets.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
A 5G Tower was placed close to my home and the day that they completed the Tower was the day I became sick with a condition. Later, I was seen by a doctor and was told there is no cure for this condition. Also, I called the company and told them about it. I think that those Towers should not be close to our homes. We moved to a different location due to this and there is a tower there also, but a short distance away. Additionally, a 5G tower was placed close to my past employer's business.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
When I was 12 my whole life got turned upside down due to EMF. I couldn't do normal things, was ostracized from my peers, teachers, and classmates. I got nosebleeds, stabbing headaches, memory loss, nausea, restless legs, pain, extreme whole-body inflammation, my eyes couldn't focus, and insane fatigue. Everyone around me thought I was crazy or making it up.  But then I was 15 and had to write a research paper on something, I chose to write on EMF. I got paid to have my 15-page research paper published by a company in the United Kingdom that I wrote my freshman year. A classmate who thought I was making it up mocked me for doing that, and later didn't have enough research to back up his paper. I had so much scientific published research on EMF I actually had to take out over 6 pages of my paper. The research was astounding and other countries know and acknowledge the harms of EMF. They protect children. They don't allow cell towers within 2 miles of schools, they have research on the effects of non-ionizing radiation.  My pain from EMF got to such a degree that it felt like in addition to having headaches that felt like someone was stabbing me in the head and I couldn't breathe. Once we started turning off our Wi-Fi at night I was finally able to sleep, and some of the pain went away. The shift was drastic. I am happy to say that a few years later I've recovered and am a lot less sensitive, but that's only thanks to the research I did when I was younger, and to my parents work to protect me and help me heal from the damage.  We should not allow the cell phone companies profiting from these to set the safety standards. That's unethical and we're putting profit over health here in the US. If any third party did the research we would know ad see that we're insanely exceeding the safe amount of radiation a human can tolerate. But instead we are letting the cell phone tower companies tell us what is safe, and we're allowing this to be an unregulated industry.  My teenage years were dictated by EMF and my symptoms. I couldn't go to things I wanted to, hang out with friends, have people over unless they turned their phones off, or be in normalcy in society due to the extreme negative health effects I experienced from EMF and RF.  I have done extensive research on EMF, please read my paper below that was published in the UK. Let's do better for our country and our children - because I was the one who wasn't protected.  https://www.electricsense.com/emf-silent-killer/

The commenter urges HHS to adopt biologically based exposure limits, end time averaging for pulses, and p…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
HHS should regulate EMF radiation and establish biologically sound limits for exposure. HHS has a mission to protect and support human health. The FCC has no such mission. Its mission is to proliferate EMF radiation, and it does. At this time the FCC regulates EMF exposure according to its mission: It sets limits which do not protect human health, but proliferate EMF exposure. HHS should step in and do its job. The is a huge difference between voluntary and involuntary exposure. Involuntary exposure is criminal battery and should not be allowed at all. There should be a way to opt out of involuntary exposure, especially from Smart Meters, but also from non-consensual transmitter siting. All involuntary exposure should be kept at a distance of at least one mile, in order to avert claims of battery. The most urgent issue is Smart Meters and the Smart Grid, an extremely harmful involuntary exposure. The opposition to Smart Meters is fierce and vocal. Smart Meters have caused the most serious injuries, killing people, permanently debilitating them, and forcing them out of their own homes. Smart Meters regularly emit a millisecond pulse, which the FCC allows at 1.8 million times over the FCC limit. This is because the FCC averages the exposure over 30 minutes, even though the next pulse is often less than 30 minutes away. (30 minutes x 60 seconds x 1,000 milliseconds = 1,800,000) A shorter pulse would allow even greater exposure. In this way, the FCC has essentially created an exception for pulsed radiation, The first coarse of action for HHS is to eliminate the 30 minute averaging for pulsed radiation, and require that it comply with existing limits. The Smart Grid would have to be dismantled and replaced with the safe analog grid that performed flawlessly for almost a century. The next step is to eliminate all involuntary exposure, which violates the Constitution, the law, and human rights. The third step is to establish biologically-based limits for voluntary exposure. The attached files include scientific and legal documents which show that involuntary EMF exposure is both harmful and illegal. The case involves Smart Meters which forced people out of their homes, killed their loved ones and pets, and caused permanent injury. No court has ruled on the issues raised because the defendants bribed the clerks and ensured that no judge ever saw the documents. EMF exposure is rife with corruption because the stakes are so high for the billionaire class and the multi-trillion dollar industry. HHS should make its own ruling.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am extremely sensitive to EMF/RF frequencies, and have been SEVERELY DISABLED by them in my past. I have a “canary in the coal mine” kind of sensitivity, which is a detriment when living in this modern age. However, since I’ve learned how to mitigate this frequency problem for myself, I am now fine around EMFs/RFs. PLEASE SEE ATTACHMENT

A wellness practitioner describes neurological symptoms and substantial work, financial, and social losse…

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 responding from the perspective of a wellness consultant, safe-tech and environmental advocate who feels the effects of ElectroSmog. I first learned about the health hazards of EMF in functional neurology class. We turned our wifi off that night and both of us slept amazing and woke up feeling so much better. That was ten years ago. Since then I have had times of completely being unable to work, the right side of my face drooping and the right side of my body not working the same as the left when over exposed. It sidelined my NYC music career, derailed my relationships with family as no one believes in health effects because the gov't says it's safe, I cannot work in most environments and it has severely limited my finances. The personal financial and emotional losses if calculated using forensic accounting are devastating. MY SYMPTOMS IMMEDIATELY RESOLVE UPON LOW EMF ENVIRONMENT and immediately return in cell service areas and wifi routers. I have trouble swallowing from the tightening of the neck muscles, brain encephalopathy pinching cranial nerves and over activating the limbic system that dysregulates my body so much I've been diagnosed with dystonia and dysautonomia. X-rays show developing scoliosis from a complete dystonic twist from attempting to live and work to survive in this environment. It's INSANITY! As a wellness practitioner, I see many people who also complain of symptomology in wireless exposure as well. And in my 18 years as an Osteopathic Movement Therapist and Personal Trainer I am seeing these twists, tensions, and symptoms in many people. In fact, myself, colleagues and teachers keep talking of how we seldom see a normal brain, nervous system and body of any client anymore. The biggest change to our environment is ELECTROSMOG. Our advocacy groups already won a landmark lawsuit for the people due to extensive evidence of harm from ElectroSmog and the FCC shows flagrant disregard for humanity. This issue must continue to be addressed with holding FCC accountable, rescinding the 1996 Telecom Act and zero liability for Big Wireless, allowing opt outs, mandatory wifi on/off switches on routers, ensuring routers do not have secret frequencies, cell phone wireless hygiene options, educational campaigns and informed consent for the public, warning labels on all wireless tech devices, mandatory FCC commercials to explain the health risks of using wireless as was done with smoking, white zones that are protected zero EMF areas in every state/province/region of every country and research and development to pick up where the Tesla Society left off with using healthier frequencies/pulsation/modulation options for providers and also R&D for quantum computing. We are bioelectric beings, our heart is electric, our brain is electric, every cell communicates with electromagnetic impulses, we have to keep our electrolytes balanced... these electromagnetic frequencies go through walls AND our bodies.... there are gov't studies dating back to the 1930s showing wireless communications undermine every system in the human body and also have environmental effects. For the future and survival of all life on this planet, we need to make sweeping changes. WE ALREADY KNOW THE DISASTROUS HEALTH HAZARDS from ElectroSmog, NOW LET'S MOVE ON IT! 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.
