The commenter alleges documented directed-energy attacks involving officials and contractors, describes s…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Clearly there is ambient EMF, EMP and radiation. However, there are also Directed Energy Weapons(DEWs) that are definitively being deployed against the American Public. For Citizens that become Targeted Individuals(TIs), the attacks from these weapons rise to the level of assault, torture, attempted murder and murder. I know this because I am a highly targeted TI. I have painstakingly documented hundreds of DEW attacks and the the location/direction they are coming from. Inmy case, and many others I believe, there are criminals in our own government that are coordinating these attacks. It appears to be linked to corrupt CIA, law enforcement, FBI, and contractors at several levels. There are entire families being Targeted by these military grade weapons and again, there is strong evidence to suggest that many have either had their deaths caused or contributed to by these heinous DEW attacks....or they sometimes will cripple or debilitate their victims to affect their overall health. This should be a Top Priority for HHS as they can also use these weapons for mind control, sabotage and other human and civil rights atrocities. I implore you to look into the Targeting case of me and my family as it is an obvious cesspool of corruption and organized crime out of NJ, NY, and NC with obvious atte.pts to cover it up including the DEW attacks. Plus, these attacks are ongoing to the point where I sleep in my car .ost nights to reduce the proximity and severity of the DEW radiation attacks. I have tremendous amounts of evidence of these attacks....Sincerely, Matthew R. Ehlers. ehlersmr@gmail.com

A software engineer reports improvement after eliminating wireless sources but lasting life limitations, …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am submitting this comment with my perspectives in response to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding from several perspectives: as a software engineer with extensive experience working with technology and electronic systems; as a person who has experienced significant symptoms that I associate with exposure to electromagnetic fields and wireless radiation; and as a professional who has spent the past several years measuring and documenting electromagnetic field exposures in my home and other environments. In January of 2022 I eliminated wireless technologies completely from my personal environment and whenever feasible reduced or distanced myself from electric and magnetic emissions. These changes improved my health and allowed me to reengage with the world. Unfortunately, avoidance of wireless technologies required changes that permanently affected my career, family, and personal life. It is impossible to avoid being exposed to all wireless and electromagnetic emissions. Radio frequency exposures from sources which are not my own continue to aggravate my symptoms and limit my life. I don’t want to feel these symptoms anymore when doing normal things like working in an office, walking into a store with an overpowered mesh / wifi system, going to a concert, restaurant, bar, or visiting family or friends. Over the last few years, I learned more about detection, identification, measurement, and mitigation to electromagnetic emissions. My sister became a Building Biology Institute-certified Electromagnetic Radiation Specialist (EMRS). Together we develop practical methods for detecting, measuring, documenting, and reducing electromagnetic exposures. Using these strategies we have significantly improved my functionality and not only am I back at the computer, but I have developed a web application that shows electromagnetic emissions and measurement statistics spatially. I have become particularly concerned that consumers are uninformed about the specifications of a product’s wireless features and have limited or no control over those features. Technology will continue to develop faster than long-term health research and regulatory processes can reasonably keep pace with it. Additionally, the way RF exposure is evaluated does not always reflect the conditions people experience in their daily lives. I therefore encourage HHS to consider these particularly practical areas for regulatory and technology standards: Wireless devices should provide a genuine, user-accessible means of turning off wireless emissions, rather than merely hiding wireless functionality or placing a device into a mode in which emissions continue. Cellular phones should support calls and text messaging when the phone is connected through a wired Ethernet connection to a router, so that consumers who choose a wired network connection can use their phones for these functions without requiring an active wireless connection. Products should be required to display prominently on the packaging standardized consumer-facing RF exposure information, similar in concept to other standardized product information that allows consumers to compare products and make informed choices. the type, number, frequencies and transmission characteristics of a device; how to reduce unnecessary close-proximity exposure; how to use wired alternatives where available; how to disable wireless functions completely; whether a device continues transmitting while in standby or charging; whether simultaneous transmitters were evaluated; whether children or other populations were specifically evaluated; and what exposure conditions were and were not included in testing. I am particularly concerned about exposure involving children, infants, pregnancy, and other populations that may differ from those of a typical adult. Children may spend many hours in schools and childcare facilities surrounded by multiple wireless transmitters, sometimes at very close distances. Wireless devices are also increasingly incorporated into products used by infants and children. Federal research and exposure assessment should therefore specifically address age-specific and developmental exposure scenarios rather than assuming that adult testing adequately represents all populations. I also believe that federal research priorities should include long-term, independent investigation of cumulative and chronic exposure, children and pregnancy, reproductive and developmental outcomes, neurological and sleep-related effects, cardiovascular and other biological effects, environmental and ecological effects, and exposure associated with evolving technologies such as 5G, future wireless systems, IoT devices, wearables, smart homes, wireless medical devices, and increasingly dense wireless infrastructure.

The commenter describes RF sensitivity, burning and headaches attributed to a nearby communications anten…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
DECLARATION OF Stephen Bonney declares under penalty of perjury as follows: 1. I reside in Fort Gratiot, Michigan. 2. I did not consent, nor do I consent today, to the continuous, involuntary exposure to biologically active RF radiation. 3.My experience with radiofrequency (RF) radiation started about eight years ago when I began feeling a tingling/burning sensation in my hands and forearms. I discovered that staying in different rooms in my house could make the sensation better or worse. I also started getting headaches and lightheadedness. I had no idea the cause. I thought maybe one of my neighbors might be doing something that created some kind of strong field, like maybe a ham radio. I went on the computer and started doing some research. I ended up buying a meter that read electric, RF and magnetic fields. I got high readings but I still couldn't detect where they were coming from. I then hired a couple of building biologists with far more sophisticated meters. They were able to trace the source to a nearby intersection. It was there they found a yagi antenna used for sending communication signals between intersections for fire and emergency response purposes. Since I couldn't do anything about removing this antenna I had to employ blocking measures at my house, which I was able to do well enough to at least keep living there. But I can no longer work in the yard. My physical sensitivities to RF radiation have gotten worse over the years due, I'm sure, to repeated exposures from other sources. I have eliminated as much RF in my personal life as I can : no cell phone, no wireless devices of any kind in my house or car. But I know I'm almost constantly bombarded by RF when I'm out in the world and I feel it's taking a toll on my physical health. We're getting hit with this poison from in front, behind, the sides and above. There's hardly anywhere to escape it. I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

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 someone struggling with her own health issues, while seeing others struggle, as well. Also, as someone who is familiar with research suggesting radiation causes harm far in excess of anything paid shills for the industry are willing to admit. On a strictly experiential level: Radiation exposure is a lot like boiling a frog. The frog doesn't know what's happening, but it feels unwell, it has lost and continues to lose function and a baseline sense of well-being, and eventually, unless it's removed from the cooking pot, it will die. When I moved out of an apartment building blighted with a high density of WiFi signals... to a location with fewer WiFi routers per square mile, I started to sleep better, and other issues eased, as well. I'm still being boiled in all the other sources of radiation (cell phones and cell phone masts, smart meters, etc), but even this minor change has made an appreciable difference in my sleep. How much more lost function and productivity (over the past years) might I regain in an environment without all this toxic, weapons-grade radiation… that our own military used to admit was a threat to the health and preparedness of its troops! How many more of my health issues might reverse, if I didn't have to endure radiation levels up to a million times normal background radiation which our bodies and brains have historically been exposed to! How much more functional and healthy and happy might our children be, and all of our society be, without this pervasive and unprecedented toxic exposure! The failure to properly investigate and regulate radiation is nothing short of a crime against humanity. Ecocide, too. One way or another, the truth will come out. Better it come out sooner, to spare us needless suffering, and spare our planet the needless loss and extinction of its most vulnerable species, starting with insects and birds, but including our precious children. The link between radiation and biological harm is established for any who are courageous enough to acknowledge it. I urge HHS to take 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 ALL these experiences AND the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give espeical attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health. Thank you for providing me this opportunity to be heard.

The commenter describes disability attributed to mitochondrial injury, reports worsening around EMFs and …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
In 2009 I suffered systemic aluminum injury that took out 60% of my mitochondria in an instant. I went from vibrant and healthy to having a pretty severe physical handicap. In traveling to a Functional MD in Ocala, Florida to get to the root of my newfound condition, I stayed at a hotel as often patients do. The interesting thing about the first time I stayed there, my disability would increase dramatically while walking thru a specific hallway. I described it like hitting a wall of invisible pea soup.. like tredging thru quick sand. Just in that one spot. Through diagnosing and advice from my Functuonal MD, it was suggested I get a Q-link pendant to cope with EMF. So I got one.. and wouldn't you know, when I wore it at that same hotel, walking thr same corridor.. I didn't get the pea soup feeling anymore. Turns out the corridor was on the backside of the elevator shaft.. loaded with EMF. Fast forward nearly two decades later and it's becoming more an more apparent in medical circles and research that EMF 'dampens' mitochondrial function. Well, since I've had to learn to live with 60% less of these energy organelles, I can attest that nothing enhances my disability like EMF, RF and dirty electricity. I need a wheelchair at high EMF locations like Universal Studios, while I can physically walk and work a farm far from the city limits. It'a a no brainer for people like me who have become sensitive due to reduced mitochondrial function... that EMF harms cellular activity in all. Just most wont feel the difference.

The commenter describes a disabled adult son's severe movement disorder and episodes near towers, acknowl…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Good afternoon I am writing on behalf of my 29 year disabled non verbal son. First off I would like to personally thank you for even looking into the harm that this technology can possible effect future generations of American children and for taking parents and care givers opinions serious and not dismissing our concerns. I will try to keep it to a specific time frame but the dates may not be exact. Approximately 9 years ago before the roll out of 5G technology I believe they may have been testing the rollout and my son was reacting to it. I can't prove it but he changed dramatically in that time frame. I have videos of body movement disorders that he had never experienced before, mind you he has always had a seizure disorder but these were different. He started to experience dystonic body movements that were so severe no one should ever experience anything like that in their lifetime and I fear for future generations of American children's lives may be at stake. I went all the way to the top of Neurology at the University of Washington and I was completely dismissed and gaslighted by that department of medicine and was told that my son had all of the sudden out of the blue developed "tics" and offered blood pressure medication to control them. I begged to differ and later learned that they had lied about his medication not causing movement disorders when I brought up his medication Tegretol and Amitriptyline they vehemently denied it. Whenever I would drive by a cell tower my son would have one of these severe attacks in the vehicle. It got so bad that he would not leave the house for 3 years. We are currently transitioning him over to cannabis in the state of Washington to help manage his movement disorder. I know geo fencing is coming and I am not naive to the fact that they want to contain citizens to certain zones and silence any one that speaks out against a future like this but at what point and the health and well being of future American children will we allow this technology to hurt and harm our children. As his nature path put it plainly my child is "the canary in the coal mind" and from what I witnessed as a mother I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy let alone future American children. Thank you for giving concerned American parents a vouce!

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Last Dec 20 25 our neighborhood learned they were going to put up a 54 foot cell tower at the entrance of an established 200 plus home neighbor hood. We had one week to contest and they passes it on chiristmas eve. it’s a know fact it causes cancer and I am sensitive to these EMF frequencies and had to remove the smart metter from my house. I’ve lived here for 26 years and now I will,have to move. Reno Nevada our city council is so corrupt!

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am submitting this comment as an individual who has experienced severe and life-changing health problems that I associate with exposure to electromagnetic fields, particularly radiofrequency (RF) radiation from wireless devices. My sensitivity to wireless radiation began approximately four years ago. Gradually, I noticed that exposure to devices emitting wireless signals appeared to trigger or significantly worsen symptoms similar to those associated with fibromyalgia, including physical pain, exhaustion, and a profound reduction in my ability to function both physically and mentally. At the time, I was living in Paris and working in the IT industry, which meant that I was surrounded by wireless devices and exposed to multiple sources of RF radiation on a daily basis. Despite trying to reduce my exposure, I gradually became less and less able to cope with the demands of my professional life. I had to progressively reduce my working hours and responsibilities until I eventually reached a point where I could no longer work at all. Approximately two and a half years ago, I also had to leave Paris and move back in with my parents in the countryside in an attempt to improve my health, at age 30. Although my current living environment has significantly less wireless radiation than my previous one, exposure is far from absent, partly because there are mobile phone base stations in the village. My symptoms remain severe and have a devastating impact on my daily life. Whenever I have to leave the house or when other people use mobile phones inside the house, I experience a significant worsening of my symptoms. Conversely, I have noticed that spending time in quiet environments with very low levels of wireless radiation can bring some relief and allow me to recover a small degree of well-being. This observation has become one of the most important factors in my efforts to manage my condition. The consequences extend far beyond physical discomfort. I have lost my ability to work, I rarely see my friends anymore, and I am no longer able to participate in ordinary daily activities. Rather than truly living, I feel that I am merely surviving. This is particularly difficult because I desperately want to regain my health, return to work, become active again, and rebuild a reasonably normal life. Over the past four years, I have consulted dozens of doctors and healthcare practitioners, including practitioners working in alternative approaches. Unfortunately, none of the treatments I have tried has provided meaningful or lasting relief. So far, the most significant improvement I have experienced has come from being in quiet environments with very low levels of wireless radiation, and also having an healthy diet, cooking fresh and organic products helped me.

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 well-educated 69 year old female whose life has been very greatly impacted by my being disablingly sensitive to electromagnetic radiation. I live in the UK, where EHS (electrohypersensitivity) is a condition not recognised by the health service, to the point of there being no code available to allow the condition to be entered into my medical records. Nor is there any treatment or support available from the National Health Service. Exposure to radiation from mobile phones and Wi-Fi affect me the most, inducing nausea, extreme brain fog and overwhelming tiredness; I can feel any electrical current, even low voltage DC, and emfs from household circuitry and appliances affect me adversely. Technological "progress" is making daily living an increasing challenge. Finding any environment in which it is physically safe to work has become increasingly problematic, leading to long-term unemployment and its financial consequences. My social isolation has been extreme, resulting initially from my inability to participate because all social activities (employment, cultural, religious, educational, healthcare, travel, transport, shopping...) involve, these days, exposure to wifi, blutooth and mobile phones, etc. This led me to a lengthy period of severe depression and anxiety, which increased the isolation because often I have been too depressed even to talk with my remaining friends. Possibly the worst thing emotionally was discovering, as a result of EHS, how corrupted science has become; how extremely unkind so many people can be; and how many politicians claiming to care about inclusiveness and democracy don't give a damn about actual real people who are suffering. Dealing with the resulting disillusionment while also dealing with ill health and extreme isolation has been a transformative experience and my understanding of the world has changed. It looks a lot more corrupt and in the thrall of evil than I understood before. For instance I have seen scientists lose their jobs just for asking questions, or finding answers, which powerful industries want to suppress. I have seen the UK government run public consultations into EMF-related matters only to hide or ignore replies providing scientific evidence which calls into doubt the next money-spinning innovation which Big Tech has decided to impose on us whether we want (or can physically tolerate) it or not. I have witnessed legal challenges fail because the judge apparently couldn't understand science. I have watched the FCC simply ignore a court ruling ordering it to justify its position of denial of the biological effects of microwave radiation. I know of those for whom suffering from electrosensitivity has become a burden no longer endurable, so that they chose to end their lives. For those still determined to live, daily life becomes increasingly challenging. I have spent years trying to understand why emfs affect me as they do. Years reading scientific papers, increasing my understanding; hours formulating evidence only to find that those presently running the world are determined to dismiss the best presented evidence when it is unfavourable to their self-interest. I am watching the biosphere which supports life as we know it teeter on the edge of collapse, have seen the evidence of the role played in this collapse by, among other stressors, man-made, non-natural emfs, yet we continue to hurtle towards the edge. I could attach links to many hundreds of peer-reviewed scientific papers which demonstrate the biological effects of emfs. Instead, I invite you to read Arthur Firstenberg's "The Invisible Rainbow", which has an extensive bibliography. Or look at the Bioinitiative Report. Or the Freiburg Appeal. Go look at the website of the EM-Radiation Research Trust. Take a look at the papers suggested here: https://www.es-uk.info/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Selected%20ES%20and%20EHS%20studies.pdf Here's just one of many available papers demonstrating the irrelevance of ICNIRP's so-called safety standards: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s12940-022-00900-9 And then, once you have absorbed what this small selection of scientific papers tells us, take a look at this little beauty, and ask yourself what it's like for anyone adversely impacted by emfs to live in a world where this is regarded as a trusted source of information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_hypersensitivity I am fed up with being told that the evidence is inconclusive. Exactly how much evidence is deemed conclusive? Who gets to decide? And what about the precautionary principle? Science is empirical: it begins with evidence. We, the electrosensitive, are evidence, and I for one have had more than enough of being ignored, gas-lit, and harmed by technology.
