The commenter describes pulmonary and heart illnesses following tower and smart-meter installation, repor…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
2013 a cell tower was installed a couple hundred meters from my house. A couple months later I was diagnosed with A pulmonary embolism and collapsed while being treated for that and was also diagnosed with Paracarditis. Spent 2 months hospitalized. Relocated in 2016 to a rural area away from all the communications. Fast forward to 2024. S.M.A.R.T Meters forced upon everyone's home without consent, similar scenario. A couple months pass and I find myself dealing with heart failure. 1 month hospitalized and still feeling the effects daily with tinnitus and anxiety... Skeptical of any official survey, not knowing if this information will be used to remedy the problem or monitor its effectiveness as a weapon.

The commenter attributes severe family neurological and cardiac symptoms and breast cancer to radiation, …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Thank you Honorable Secretary Robert Kennedy for caring about all the people who are suffering daily. Myself, husband and one of my sons have been injured from EMF, RT and WR exposure with severe tinnitus, pain in extremities, headaches, vertigo, constant interruption during sleep, rapid heart beats, raised blood pressures, fatigue and physical hits on our heads and bodies. I have went through breast cancer as a result of these radiation frequencies with no paternal or maternal family history of breast cancer. This has caused us to have severe AHI's. My husband can no longer work in his career as an IT analyst for IBM and me and my son had to undergo so many hardships with family because many did not know what was happening and thought we were losing our minds. It was such a horrific time but we are trying to stay strong in our faith with the Father to get us through and in constant prayer daily. I appreciate all you are doing for all civilians across the world to help stop this horrible weaponization. God bless you always. Tamera C. Williams

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 , parent, myself, healthcare professional, researcher, advocate, concerned member of the public, or other]. wireless radiation has affected me significantly and also i am concerned about my child, and entire family that I care about. The continues exposure from everywhere is unjust since there is no escape from it. I am very signifantly sensitive to is and the measures that I am taking are not enough. I am buying expensive clothes and blankets to shield myself but I am still significantly affected. It's not right that my life became a hell now without my consent and ability to opt out. The exposure is crazy and new towers continue to grow everywhere. This needs to stop and it is unlawful because it affects everyone without asking for acceptance. I do not consent and do not accept being continuously exposed to this radiation. 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.

The commenter reports severe migraines during prolonged occupational cordless-phone use, improvement afte…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Dear Officials, I am writing to submit my personal testimony regarding the adverse health effects I have experienced, which I believe are closely associated with prolonged radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure and urban electromagnetic field (EMF) environments. Part 1: Occupational Exposure and Neurological Symptoms For approximately 5 years, I worked in a medical office where my duties required me to hold a cordless phone to my ear for 3 to 6 hours a day, 5 days a week. Due to strict patient privacy regulations, I could not use the speakerphone function. During this period, I began suffering from severe, debilitating migraines, occurring 1 to 2 times per month. The pain consistently originated from the area just above my right ear and irradiated across the trigeminal, orbital, temporomandibular, and cervical regions. The pain felt as though it emanated from either the area above the ear or from the top-central part of my head. It was strictly unilateral (affecting only the right side). These episodes were accompanied by intense "electric shock" sensations that spread across my entire cervical fascia, lasting for about 4 days. During these crises, the pain caused severe gastric distress, making it impossible to eat or move. Relief was only achieved by lying in a completely dark and silent room, pressing the affected eye against a warm pillow. Mild massages or heat applied to the top of my head provided slight, a temporary light comfort. In terms of medical management, paracetamol offered minor relief only after 5 to 6 hours, without resolving the electric shock sensations. Conversely, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), specifically nimesulide, consistently alleviated the pain and the electric shocks within 20 to 30 minutes. Part 2: Cessation of Exposure and Symptom Resolution After approximately 7 years, I left that employment, which completely terminated my daily, prolonged use of the telephone. While I maintain a mobile phone, I strictly avoid placing it near my head. I rarely make calls, and when necessary, I use a tubeless airtube headset or utilize the speakerphone function, keeping the device at a distance of at least 50 to 60 centimeters. Within 12 months of terminating that occupation and changing my wireless habits, the severe migraines began to subside significantly. I do not take other medications, I do not smoke, and I maintain a very balanced, healthy diet and a calm lifestyle. Through careful observation, I have ruled out other potential lifestyle or medical variables. Part 3: Environmental Sensitivity and Urban Re-exposure Over the past 15 years, I have observed a consistent, repeating pattern regarding my environment. Every August, I reside in a secluded coastal and mountainous area characterized by a very low density of routers, low vehicular traffic, GPS tracker, and low population density. In this environment, my physical health completely regenerates, and I experience high levels of physical energy. However, upon returning to the large city where I currently reside, I experience an immediate and severe physical decline from the very first day. The sensation is described as a persistent, distressing "burning" feeling in the brain, accompanied by a constant state of neurological tension, alert, and over-stimulation that prevents any real rest. This systemic stress causes gastric burning and profound fatigue, rendering me unable to perform simple daily tasks. Upon my return to the city this year, I suffered a continuous 9-day migraine crisis. My systematic observations over fifteen years confirm that a isolated, low-EMF environment restores my health, whereas the high-density urban environment consistently causes exhaustion and severe pain. I urge federal health and communications agencies to thoroughly investigate the biological mechanisms underlying these exposure patterns, to acknowledge the reality of environmental sensitivities, and to implement protective standards, particularly regarding long-term occupational exposure and CEM/radiation density. Sincerely.

The commenter attributes seizures and lasting brain injury to Bluetooth hearing aids, reports subsequent …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Injured party: Anthony Stroup Responsible party: Widex – USA Point of sale: Cory Workman / Community Hearing Center Estes Park, CO. 80517 Date of seizure hospitalization’s: 1/26/2023, 9/9/2023, 12/20/2023 have led to permanent brain damage, with multiple injuries and new mental conditions. To Whom it may concern, PRIOR TO BEING FITTED WITH BLUETOOTH HEARING AIDS, I WAS MENTALLY FIT, AND PHYSICALLY ABLE TO PERFORM AT A HIGH LEVEL OF ABILITIES, CAPABLE TO DOING A NUMBER OF TYPES OF EMPLOYMENT. TODAY IT IS A STRUGGLE TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE DAY OR ACHIEVE A TINY FRACTION OF DAILY TASK'S. As a result of this Bluetooth Wireless product and manufacturer negligence, In 2023, my life was forever changed due to a brain injury causing massive damages. The physical and emotional toll has been devastating for myself and my wife. While wearing your product in 2023, I went to ER 4 times, 3 times by EMS, and 2 times in Intensive Care. I was fitted with a pair of Widex, Moment Sheer 220’s, and given no forewarning of the known risks of this product and not given any MSDS information. Following the use of these Widex ITC BT hearing aids I suddenly began to suffer silent seizures and Status Epilepticus grand mal seizures leading to brain damage. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23676765/ https://www.notebookcheck.net/250-scientists-sign-petition-warning-of-dangers-posed-by-AirPods-other-wireless-devices.413886.0.html |The failure to forewarn of these dangers has destroyed the lives and my wife and I, and causes unbearable misery since then and continues to do so, taking its toll on myself and my Wife as well. Studies on the effects of EMW’s on epileptic seizures have been done dating back to 2013 and beyond. The World Health Organization and scientists around the world have been sounding the alarm since 2009. It took my wife about 2 minutes to do an internet search and discover studies and information indicating that the BT Hearing Aids are the reason I’ve been having epileptic episodes and seizures. Yet I was not forewarned in the least, nor was I given any MSDS information, Which Widex tells me doesn’t exist for this product. I am now EMF sensitive to Wi-Fi /5G/Bluetooth etc. I cannot sleep under these EMF’s without being deathly ill when I wake up. Wi-Fi is all around me and I cannot escape exposure. This now triggers silent seizures that make my life a living hell. Many days have been spent non-functional and in extreme misery. I end each day terrified of what I will have to endure the next morning/day, then the misery begins. I open my eyes and begin my medication needs, while the hypertension grows and that triggers epilepsy and silent seizures. Nausea from my gut to my throat, dizziness and so much more, destroying all quality of life and replaced with extreme misery. The brain damage/Injury I have suffered from using Bluetooth hearing aids make living in today's world unbearable, and a constant attack on my well-being and quality of life. I lost my job when my boss learned these hearing aids had been causing me to have seizures. With that I lost a $500,000.00 life insurance policy. I have been evaluated by the Social Security Administration and found totally disabled and unfit to handle my own finances. Below you will find a summary of the damages to date: As a result of this using this product, I have incurred the following damages: Hospital / Medical ~ $160,000.00 Follow Up Care (Lifelong) Brain Injury/Damage Electromagnetic Sensitivity (ES) & Hypertension (EMH) – Uncontrolled Epilepsy Memory Loss Loss of recall & focal abilities Depression Lost Wages Lost Life Insurance – $500,000.00 Loss of hearing Pain and Suffering Loss of quality of life This wireless product has shown to cause harm. Manufacturer negligence has forever changed my life, and their product is a direct cause of my injuries, pain and suffering not to mention two List of Documentation • Deposition letter from a specialist Doctor and world class research center. (Dr. Elizabeth Seymour at The Environmental Health Center of Dallas) • Brain Scans from Amen Clinics , The world's largest database of functional brain scans, specifically using SPECT imaging, and uses this data to understand how people think, feel, and behave. • Moment Sheer 220 product serial number • Research data from 2013 indicating the danger of your products, and related information. • Hospital/Medical Bills (UBO4’s) • Social Security Administration Proof of Disability/Benefits. • Employment Termination papers from MDC Holdings Inc.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Thank you for this opportunity to speak, my name is Karen Rose, live in Myrtle Point area of southwest Oregon. I have cell tower behind my house about 3000ft or less, it is 5G now, T Mobile has 4 levels of antennae on it and it is permanently damaging my health. I have lived here 7 yrs, 2-3G, then to 4G, and now to 5G and my health has continuously become more and more damaged. Symptoms daily are: vision loss, dizziness and extreme nausea, severe tinnitus, severe hair loss, gastrointestinal pain and loss of digestion and appetite, insomnia, agitation and noise in head with pressure behind eyes and back of neck severe at times, tremors and weakness, CT scan shows two nodules right parietal lobe of brain, cervical spinal fluid leaks with permanent damage to back of head from "sinking brain", severe sleepiness with breathing difficulty for hours on end, severe adverse reactions to all medications, must get through all pains on my own,vertigo, neck, lower back pain and severe degeneration of spine, and many more permanent symptoms that will no longer disappear. I have suffered with Electro-sensitivity for 15 years and mast cell activation (chemical sensitivity) for 40 yrs. I also have severe rashes, have lost all my muscle mass, etc. I have asked T Mobile to please divert antenna away from direction of my house they won't do it. I am not asking to remove the tower as we all need cell phones for emergencies, just please, myself and 3 other neighbors on same property are situated too close to tower (our houses were there first before tower) are so very chronically and critically sick from 5G tower, I plead for help, can't move, nowhere to go, can't afford.My email is krose@kittymail.com.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I became EMF sensitive in 2015 while living in San Francisco. I drastically had to adjust my life, and now must sleep/live in the woods to maintain my health. As long as I sleep in low/no EMF environments, my body is able to recharge enough to still occasionally work and visit in cities. However, sleeping in EMF hot zones, surrounded by Wi-Fi, towers, routers, etc, drains my mitochondria and inhibits the body’s nightly rejuvenation, leading to me feeling completely drained, exhausted, and suffering chronic fatigue, digestive problems, migraines, brain fog, and symptoms of fibromyalgia. I’ve studied this subject for over a decade, and highly recommended Arthur Firstenberg’s book “The History of Electricity,” for an educational deep dive, and the documentary “Beings of Frequency.” Our biology is not solely regulated by chemical processes- light (including non visible) is a vital component, and the synthetic non-native EMF light depletes our cellular health drastically. Honestly this elephant in the room in the underlying catalyst for so many chronic health conditions in the US. Please stop endorsing more 5g, Starlinks, wireless communications, SMART everything. It’s literally killing people’s health, and sometimes their lives. Please preserve off grid, virgin spaces, and please invest in EMF safe places, towns, housing, etc. As a refugee, we need safe places to exist.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
15 years ago I was diagnosed as having "wifi [or electronic] sensitivity" . My ears have frequency shifting white noise that is not diagnosed as tinnitus. Some days, especially when a storm is coming , it becomes unmanageable &relentless. Going to sleep is my only remedy. I took a sailing course &went far out into the Gulf waters away from land , the noise for the first time in 25 years STOPPED , until we got close to land again when it immediately returned. For the past 4 years I traveled the U.S. with a RV/ 17,000 miles. In the final year of travel, I would make way to drive AROUND major cities ... as it became apparent while approaching large hubs, and without visual of a tower approaching, my chest would tighten &I would have to pull off the interstate... when feeling "better" to proceed down the road , the culprit would appear on the horizon: large communication towers on the outskirts of cities : the ones with huge white circular discs seemingly would give me what I can only describe as a sudden onset pseudo heart attack. I had to quit driving anywhere near these towers &now I do not travel , for many reasons...but those towers are the main reason for staying off the roads near cities. I am thankful someone is looking into this.

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 contacting you on behalf of my young adult son and myself. We are now fighting, doing everything we can do to survive. We are almost never without constant ringing, buzzing, and high-pitched frequencies with no escape. WHY must I spend all this money and time trying to implement strategies and products to save us from our own state and federal government's ABSENCE of oversight and protection? How many nights can we go without quality sleep before it literally kills us? Last week, I felt a specific burst of frequencies in my head. In that moment, I thought someone was going to kill me. I have an UNREQUESTED smart meter on my home. I have put a copper ring around it and put what is advertised as an EMF blocking cage around it. I'm unplugging things all over my home. I'm paying exhorbitant costs for utilities, so I'm also paying for this torture. WHERE are you? And where are all the government agencies whose job it is to protect us? Why weren't safety evaluations conducted before all this rolled out? And why, even given how many are so incredibly negatively impacted by this, are you all still doing nothing to help us? Who can we even talk to without people thinking we're crazy? There are so many more implications connected to this. For example, the frequencies are attacking me almost without reprieve all day and all night. I sleep with an EMF blocking hat on, with ear plugs, using a grounding sheet and pillow case. But nothing is preventing the constant high pitch. So over night, I am now clenching my jaw so hard, that even with a mouth guard on, my entire jaw hurts all day, and I now have headaches, which have never been a problem. I also clench my body and push myself into the bed at night, so I wake up sore all over. My son hasn't been sleeping well in probably over a year. His entire personality has changed, to where he no longer wants to leave his apartment. It's impacted his eating and his temperament. I want to know if you're part of the power structure that is striving to kill us. That's what's happening, right? I mean, what are we supposed to think? If not, I want to know what you're going to do to help us? All these things in our air, food, water, soil, animals... How have we become a country that is allowing her citizenry to be culled, lied to, and constantly tormented? PLEASE HELP US. . 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.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am glad HHS is requesting this. Because I use no wireless phone anymore, I have gotten cut off from much of society. That is very painful to me, Close relatives even, don't speak to me. They think I'm not sane, certainly stubborn and ignorant. But I am none of the above. I was trained as a scholar at U C Berkeley, in the PhD Program. Have intelligence, discernment and use logic. I started reading about the dangers of wireless , several books by medical doctors (they have all disappeared from book sellers shelves). There is a definite prejudice against not following the latest technology. People are addicted to 'Smart' phones, but they make one dumb. A cashier cannot do simple addition when the computer stops adding. People look for confirmation of any opinion, thought, feeling on their device. . It has more of a negative effect than heroine addiction (doesn't destroy individual lives as quickly, but is 100 or 1000 times more widespread.) From the beginning of the 1st role out of cell phones I knew something was wrong. I had bought a cell phone and started using it. Mysteriously, it made my wrist hurt. Then as cell towers went up, I would feel dizzy, nausea and get a severe headache. I bought a meter that registers the level of wireless radiation to try to avoid it as much as possible. That helped at first; it was amazing to see how the levels varied. I could find hotels which had no wireless or a lower level. I also learned there could be a 'white spot' in a restaurant for example where the radiation had a gap. One book sugested people might have a signiture: a partcular level irriitated them the most while perhaps higher ones did not,. (An idea, but I don't know it's accuracy. But there was a amazingly high reading at a subway station in Berlin and it did not feel bad. There is a lot more research that should be done, especially for the sake of the health of Nature. I think wireless along with many other pollutants is killing Nature. AN enormous number of trees along the road to our Ski Basin are dead or in the process of dying;; an old but still present enemy are the asbestus fumes from brakes but the addition of all the drivers being on their cell phones is the last stroke. Ones body gradually adapts to the radiation and feels it less. But all diseases are on the riise; It affects the digestive process, many become obese, fewer become abnormally sklinny. It's not the only cause but is added to all the other causes like a blanket of harm. Wireless is a stimulant, it affects my heart, Taktta Cardia, I can feel it racing at night, I cannot sleep without some powerful sleep aid. It has sped up time, people alk faster, like robots. It has benefits but is used far too much and not only as a necessary tool but as one lady told me as I asked her to turn off her phone in my gallery. Oh, No I can;t! It's more me than Me! (You are in trouble Lady, I thought to myself..)
