Housing, work & access barriers

From the year 2008 until the end of 2012, I lived nearby a cell phone tower with only 2G from the telecom company Vodafone. I was living on the second floor which was also the highest floor in a rented house in Rotterdam Zuid, Holland. The distance betweem my rented house and the cell phone tower is approximately 20 to 30 meters. My symptoms at that time was - I had insomnia - Chronic fatigue - Brain fog - I had low energy - I was weak - Very poor concentration - Slow reaction time - No stamina I have noticed back then that it was extremely hot in my home. One of the reason was probably because cell phone towers emit microwave radiation. I was physically, mentally and emotionally drained. At the end of 2012, I also have ear ringing (tinnitus) in my right ear and till to this day, I still have ear ringing in my right ear. I know for 100% that my symptoms are mainly caused by the man-made radiation from this cell phone tower, wi-fi modem in my house and my cellphone. They all emit microwave radiation also known as radio frequency radiation (RFR). In May 2011, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) from the World Health Organization classified radiofrequency radiation as Group 2B, meaning they are possibly carcinogenic to humans. Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity (EHS) is recognized by the World Health Organization. Dr. Lennart Hardell, a medical doctor, and oncologist. “We conclude that there is clear evidence that RF radiation is a human carcinogen, causing glioma and vestibular schwannoma (acoustic neuroma). There is some evidence of an increased risk of developing thyroid cancer, and clear evidence that RF radiation is a multi‑site carcinogen. Based on the Preamble to the IARC Monographs, RF radiation should be classified as carcinogenic to humans, Group 1.” (Source: https://ehtrust.org/science/whoiarc-position-on-wireless-and-health/) Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity is recognized as an environmental intolerance by the World Health Organization. France's national law passed in 2015, established the following: Nursery schools: A complete ban on wi-fi for spaces dedicated to children under 3 years old. I highly recommend watching scientist Barrie Trower, because he is studying microwave radiation since 1960. In my view, he is the authority on microwave radiation. Because when I arrived at a white zone (is an area with no mobile phone reception or severely restricted radio frequency radiation) in 2020 in Germany, I almost did not hear the ear ringing anymore almost in an instant. So the loudness of my ear ringing reduced a lot. My energy level increased a lot. I had no or almost no brain fog anymore. I slept so well in the white zone. But when I returned to the city where in general there are a lot of cell phone towers, my ear ringing got much much louder. My energy level decreased. A lot of brain fog. Sleep quality decreased a lot, I wake up multiple times during the night. Every time I went to the white zone in Germany, my symptoms improved a lot. But every time I go back to the city, my symptoms are getting worse. Back then, I did not know that these man-made radiation is harmful to humans, animals, insects and nature. It took me about 3 to 3,5 years of full-time research to find out that these man-made radiations are harmful. Because of this cell phone tower from Vodafone, I lost my job and I lost my house. I had to move back to my parents house. Because of this, I could not work for almost 6 years. A big part of my life is ruined. The ear ringing is ruining my life. I sleep much better when the wi-fi modem is shut off. I sleep not good and I wake up at least one time during the night when the wi-fi modem is on. When a smart phone from Apple is on and this phone is about 5 to 6 meters away from my bed, I wake up at least a couple of times during the night and I cannot sleep deeply. I sleep deeper and much better when a smart phone from Apple is completely shut off. A former co-worker of mine could not fall asleep when his wi-fi modem was on, but when he shut it off, he fell asleep right away. Another former co-worker of mine said to me when I completely shut off my smart phone, I sleep through the night without waking up. But if my smart phone is on, I wake up during the night at least one time. A good friend of mine sleeps very bad if the wi-fi modem is on, but when it's shut off, she sleeps much better.

You're failure to regulate telecom companies, utilities, and corporations is RUINING peoples lives. Universities, schools and hospitals, cities and planners are building cell sites and high voltage power lines next to some of the most sensitive populations and you are showing COMPLETE disregard for human life by not giving those of us with health issues the freedom to navigate our daily lives without encountering these toxic exposures. Your inaction allowed a private University to poison me for years and then place me in housing to "recover" that was directly below a tower. I lost my finances, my health, my job, my ability to be part of my children's life when they needed me most, and was ultimately sued by their religious cult when I attempted to recover what they took. For YEARS, I couldn't enter public spaces without experiencing severe symptoms. I'm BEYOND livid that the government cares more about big business and profit than about people and our planet. YOU WORK FOR US! WE HIRED YOU. You are corrupt and have nothing if you have a few extra billions and cannot live to spend it because you have blanketed us in toxins - mold, emfs, chemicals in food, water, housing, clothes. REGULATE and force companies to be responsible and ethical! There should be a right to opt out of smart meters, small cells sites. Building codes should REQUIRE circuit switches for all sleep spaces and maintain hardwired connectivities for network. Telephone companies have pulled their copper lines. The infrastructure is GONE. Now, as a professionally trained building scientist and environmental consultant, I advocate for others as a means to recover from the trauma I endured. I measure EMFs and the levels are unregulated. I measured a high voltage line over Alemany High School football field in southern california with staggering readings. The industrial revolution requires zoning enforcement. Maintain the separations and REGULATE to force companies to be ethical and put people and planet first.

I am writing in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I’m responding as an individual personally affected by RF and am deeply concerned about the threat to our children’s health. I am one of a growing number of people who cannot remain healthy in the presence of wireless radiation. My symptoms upon exposure are common ones and include heart palpitations, headaches, blurred vision, extreme fatigue, nausea, anxiety, and cognitive impairment. I cannot work outside my home due to this and have great difficulty shopping, receiving medical attention, or going to a restaurant. I cannot safely use airlines, buses, or trains, nor can I rent, drive, or be a passenger in newer cars because they have so much on-board RF. I cannot stay in motels or hotels, and in fact I have not traveled anywhere in five years. I am terrified that should I need to go into a hospital, I will become very ill from RF, possibly losing consciousness and unable to even communicate about the symptoms that will register on medical monitors but whose cause will be unknown to medical staff. RF sensitivity is extremely socially isolating as there few homes and no public places where it is not saturating the environment. I am essentially stranded in increasingly small oases where wireless radiation is low or does not reach. My respite, and the thing that keeps me relatively healthy, is being able to return to and stay in my home, which after much hard work, is EMF free. In this environment my body stabilizes and is healthy, and I can tolerate limited exposures a few times a week in RF-saturated areas. But this refuge in my home has been extremely difficult to create and is constantly threatened by development of cell towers, cell antennae, and 5G deployment. It is virtually impossible to find a rental and very difficult to purchase a home that is not saturated with wireless technology. At age 70 I have finally been able to purchase a healthy home, though I had to move far from friends and family to find something. I live in constant threat of having to pull up stakes and move again (to where?) when cell towers and 5G antennas come to my neighborhood. While a minority of people understand that their symptoms arise from EMF and RF exposure, a great many more suffer from it and are unaware that RF is the cause or a major contributing factor. There is a large body of research confirming that these adverse impacts occur to both those who are aware of their sensitivity and those who are not. Children are so very vulnerable and without knowledgable adults and public institutions to protect them are being harmed in homes, schools, and virtually all public spaces. HHS is uniquely positioned to consolidate existing research, sponsor studies into existing information gaps, and generate policy to protect the public from wireless radiation. Doing so will help ensure more informed decisions about deployment of wireless technologies and make homes, offices, and public spaces healthier for all of us. I sincerely hope HHS will meet this challenge.

I am experiencing adverse health effects associated with electromagnetic field exposure. These are directed energy bioeffects of the same type that some government employees are also experiencing. These include head pressure, dizziness, balance dysfunction, tinnitus, cognitive issues, memory loss, and other symptoms associated with Anomalous Health Incidents and Havana Syndrome. I am also experiencing EMF Brain Stimulation for Remote Neural Monitoring and Electronic Brain Link. Through these technologies I am being surveilled and monitored everywhere I go and within the privacy of my home also. I have been involuntarily connected via the brain link ever since 1993 and have been in this connected state non-stop up to the present day. Through these technologies many other symptoms are being induced into my brain and body. These include falling over backwards, control of my gait causing me to stagger like a drunk, intense body vibrations without trembling, jolts and jerks to various muscles causing the movement of my limbs, entire body jolts as like being electrocuted, sudden entire body hyper muscle contraction, being stiffened and paralyzed for up to four seconds duration time, heart attack pains, intense testicle pain, many other various body pains and sensations at many different locations both external and internal, nose bleeds, sleep deprivation, suddenly forced to fall asleep, forced genital stimulation, forced biting of lips, cheeks, tongue, and web under the tongue, forced manipulation of my airways, forced control of my emotions, induced synthetic nightmares and dreams for the purpose of behavioral brain programing, the simulation of both auditory and visual hallucinations. All of these are remotely induced at the sole discretion of the perpetrators and are involuntary reactions on my part. All in all, it is absolute torture. I regularly receive thorough medical examinations, and the doctors always find me illness free and in excellent physical, mental and emotional health. Even so, all this causes both progressive and long-term degradation. It also limits my ability to work and even maintain basic daily functioning. I belong to an online community of thousands of other similar victims of forced EMF exposure. But you will only hear from a very small portion of our community. The vast majority of us are being so controlled and debilitated through these technologies that they are unable to comment about it. This is being done to them by design, as a method for keeping this program secret. Another reason is that they have given up all hope that the government will ever help them out of this program. I have one simple request. Please help all of us get free from this program.

My entire body collapsed for too much exposure to 5G and Wifi. For 8 years I visit almost ALL Hospital and specialist, and nobody know what happening to me. I developed a sensitivity to electromagnetic fields; I need to keep my cell phone in airplane mode most of the time, I can not be close to any appliances or computer , I can not drive or sleep. This has had a significant impact on my health and well-being.

As the youngest CEO founder age 25 at NYC 1 WTC of a global management advisory firm in biotech, agrotech, clean energy, and IT, the launch of safe technology underscored every strategy I developed and directed globally. 82 countries leading teams onsite Europe-Arab GCC-Africa-Asia; 28 countries remotely. However, the day I moved into a new Mpls apartment on the Mississippi on January 1, 2017 (a mere 50' from a mobile tower, hidden by trees--unbeknownst to me), directly facing my 6th fl apartment window, I suffered painful cardiac arrhythmia, an extremely"hot metal rod" piercing sensation in my chest, and collapsed. Insomnia, cognitive confusion, and severe migraines ensued -- for the first time in my life. For months, I stumbled around in pain; then it occurred to me to test Radio Frequency (RF) / Microwave Radiation by hiring an EMF physicist who, upon entering with his meter immediately stated: "My God! Readings are so high in your apartment, I cant stay to do the test." Begging him to stay to provide me with some metric of the radiation, he showed me his Acoustimeter AM-11 with RF off the top of his handheld device--he declined and left immediately; it took me a year, but I came to understand his decision justified his immediate evacuation for his safety. I became homeless this year, sleeping in friends' garages, basements, and my car. CEO advisor to royals in the Arab Gulf, including Almarai, a startup venture featured in the Financial Times of London as "among the most profitable in the world" for which HSBC in Mayfair London awarded my global strategy--the 1st non-oil Pan-Gulf global export strategy--the #1 "Transparency Award" in Saudi Arabia. Forced to move to a rural location seeking refuge, but untested RF is ubiquitous; therefore have been confined 10 years to living under a Chinese EMF 3G canopy in a 5' by 8' hallway 24/7, wearing hooded shielded clothing, mocked by uneducated local men who have told me to "take your meds" in mockery. Winner of $750,000 in elite US and European private scholarships and fellowships (New College Oxford, France, Italy); Exec Director, Scully Educational Foundation Board of Trustees, Ireland with Prime Minister; youngest National Delegate NY Democratic Presidential Convention Madison Sq Garden. RF cell phones, 5G towers, Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth devices, microwave ovens ended my career early, as I collapse in their proximity. Dr Martin Paul sent me research on electromagnetic fields' effect on the body's voltage-gated calcium channels, which forces VGCCs open, flooding my system on being hit by RF--collapsing. Fluent in French, I called my attorney Marc-Pierre Stehlin for a briefing on Dr Dominique Belpomme's novel research on the unexamined effects of Electrohypersensitivity (EHS) and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), arguing that these conditions are genuine, man-made neurological disorders caused by non-ionizing radiation from wireless tech and power lines; Belpomme French oncologist and professor at Paris V University Hospital, is being cited as a possible nominee for a Nobel Prize. Low level non-ionizing radiation has cost me my career at its height, my freedom to move including taking a daily walk, the ability to fly on a plane. The US is unlikely to ever provide consumer protection or finance requisite research as long as industry capture dictates our 'scientific' findings; Robert Kennedy Jr may be the one to align us with leading countries which have issued precautionary warnings regarding EMFs, as cited by leaders Devra Davis Phd and Joel Moskowitz Phd.

6 years ago I realized I was EMF sensitive, working with a doctor. Then I moved into an apartment building with the intention of leaving in 1 year, however I became too sick to make the move due to the high exposure. I am now exposed to multiple routers, smart phones with many people in the building. At one point I thought I was dying because my body was not strong enough to make it. I literally called my mother to say good bye. Now, I have to sleep in a faraday cage, use a earth frequency machine, wear shielding hats. I live in data center alley in Gainesville, VA. There is a 600 acre national forest 30 feet from the building and I have not seen a squirrel, birds or butterfly. If they can't survive, what impact does it have on us humans? Most importantly why people can't tell when they are exposed to higher EMF. My personal experience with symptoms due to higher exposure are: while driving, I get a stomach ache, my ears start ringing and my vision is affected if there is a tower close by. Stores also affect me seriously withing 10 minutes with the same type of symptoms. Often when I get home from being out of my protected environment, I get a noticeable increase of symptoms like tinnitus, stomach aches, muscle aches and heart palpitations. This has been such a tremendous burden on my health and life, that I literally have to break my lease and move somewhere without this high exposure so that I hopefully can regain my health.

Personal Experience with RF Exposure and Daily Life Impacts Overview of Exposure and Daily Impact Since the mid-1990s, I have been constantly trying to cope with the effects of radio frequency radiation. In my home, I have spent thousands of dollars on screens to block the radiation coming from smart meters, cell towers, neighbors' routers, and other sources. We have one router that we only use for a small amount of time each day to operate the computer. It is shut off as soon as we are through with it during the day, and especially at night. My cell phone is a 4G flip phone which I use judiciously. Physical Symptoms When I am around a number of cell phones or computers, my eyes, face, and stomach begin burning, and I have to remove myself from these areas. Social and Housing Limitations I can no longer visit friends since most of their homes are filled with RF products, though some friends will kindly turn off their devices so that we can visit. My whole life has changed. This has impacted our entire way of living, our traveling, where we go locally, and how we live. We have been looking for a house away from the city in hopes of finding a place away from all RF. However, the area we are looking in may be installing data centers; we will have the final results regarding that in December. Mitigation Measures Used To mitigate this inside our current home, I have a canopy that blocks Wi-Fi in order to sleep. I also use a Safe and Sound Pro II meter to determine which areas of my house are safe or toxic. I can only live in certain areas of my home because the RF penetrates the walls and affects my health. Conclusion and Institutional Concerns This investigation is long overdue. If I were to get seriously ill, I would not be able to stay in a hospital because the RF levels there are overwhelming. Please take action to address this issue as technology continues to be upgraded.

Please find enclosed a letter from W. Lee Cowden, MD, a board-certified cardiologist who himself experienced cardiac and other symptoms from wireless radiation exposure from a 5G antenna outside a window of a B&B, and had to retire from seeing patients. This also then sensitized him to satellite exposures, requiring installation of a mental roof to block the exposures. Dr. Cowden's wife had a similar experience with cardiac effects from exposure to a home wireless system.

I have suffered for the last 6 years with EMF sensitivity after being hit by dirty electricity from my smart meter that I cannot opt out of. That set in motion my sensitivity to wireless and cell towers. I cannot even go to most restaurants now because of all the streaming on tv's and the bluetooth. I cannot set in most cars due to the bluetooth. It has damaged my brain and memory. Please bring safety into our electrical and wireless world. This is not healthy especially for children. FCC and EPA do your job to protect the people.
