For over 15 years I am electrohypersensitive . In the beginning it was only to wifi . In the meantime I am sensitive to all kinds of high frequency radiation and also to electrical and magnetical fields .
My story began when I first had a wifi installed in my house . I was recovering from an infection at that time and at a certain point I became so ill that I couldn’t take care of myself . For over 2 years I wasn’t able to talk fluently , to walk as I used to walk , I was sensitive to sound , light , my sleep was completely disturbed , … I didn’t know what was going on .
At a certain point in time , my next door neighbour had solar panels installed on her roof . Nothing wrong with that .
But around that time my health deteriorated even more and … the higher I came in my house , the more ‘drunk’ I felt ; and when I again came to the ground floor , that ‘drunk’ feeling improved a little bit . This was so strange .
Thank God I had at that time a very good GP , medical doctor , who asked me about ‘changes in my environment’ and laughingly , not knowing why he asked me that , I jokingly said : ‘hahaha , my neighbour has put solar panels on the roof.’
My GP ’s reaction was very serious , saying : ‘this can become a different story’ .
I then asked a mitigation expert from the Netherlands (at that time there weren’t many) and I had the wifi switched off and some other changes .
AND in less than 2 weeks time I again became ‘a different person’ , again functioning normally , feeling much healthier , so many symptoms and sensitivities disappeared .
In the course of those 15 years I’ve tried to cope with the increasing amount of radiation , but unfortunately in the past 7 years my health again has gotten worse . There is too much radiation for me and I also became sensitive to electrical and magnetical fields .
I have no wireless devices of any kind in my house and my electricity network is shielded .
But my neighbours , the community , the town … the amount of EMF has exploded in the past years .
It has become very hard , or hardly impossible to leave my house , to have a social life , to visit relatives or friends and even then I am ill each and every day .
Is there a place for us , people with EHS , where we can live a healthy life ?
In the 1990 decade my well-being (health) decreased because of the introduction of 2G communication. Later the density of 3G, 4G, 5G WiFi and mobile phone increased enormous.
I had to shield my house against the wireless communication signals from outside and of course there is no WiFi in my house. And I also can not use a mobile phone, because I feel sick during and after using it. Also after visiting a clinic or hospital for more than 1 hour I am exausted for 2 days or more.
I had to quit my job because the wireless frequencies of WiFi and the use of smart-phones by my colleagues made me sick.
I also cannot go to a cinema, theater, concert, restaurant or travel by air, because Wifi and phones
So my social life is almost on hold.
In 2017, after experiencing much discomfort like burning fingers and hands when I used my computer, I hired a Building Biologist to test the house that I lived in. He found several areas where i could make an adjustment to lessen the radiation. I was already paying an additional monthly fee to FPL for having my "Smart Meter' removed. I paid my neighbor to cover her "Smart Meter" since I was receiving a high reading in my house from it. My Prius Hybrid car was also partially disabled electronically. The thing that I could not rectify was the dirty electricity in the wall in 2 areas of the house. No electrician at the time understood what I was talking about. It would cost about $1000. to investigate before any work would be done. I sold my home and purchased a piece of land in the woods. Driving the Prius for 22 years, before that I drove the "Think" all electric car for 36 months and loving electronics, made me more sensitive, I think.
I have found relief here "Off Grid", but there is always the need for power in this modern world. Solar panels, batteries, inverter...items I try to keep my distance from.
Friend and family think I'm a bit extreme but they do not live in my body.
Sinds de uitrol van de draadloze technologie ondervind ik gezondheidsklachten die gaandeweg erger worden omdat er steeds meer velden zijn. Spierkrampen, bloeddrukdaling, hartkloppingen, dodelijke vermoeidheid en slapeloosheid naast tinnitus.
Ik woon in een afgeschermd huis en als ik naar buiten ga, moet ik altijd afschermkleding aan. Mijn leven staat stil... ik kan bijna nergens meer heen en verlies ook sociale contacten. Er zijn al honderden onafhankelijke onderzoeken die duidelijk de negatieve effecten van straling aantonen.

En ook de natuur en de dieren (bijen!!) hebben er last van.
Please do more research into the health effects of EMF. Our family had had to wire up our house with bo wifi, use faraday cages, and get rid of utility smart meters because it caused massive problems for me with dizziness and head pressure to the point I could not stand. I cannot fly because the massive amount of wifi trapped in the airplane acts like a faraday cage and makes my head feel like it is exploding. This is a REAL issue affecting way more people than you know. As it took me quite a while to figure out the connection and many people never know why they are feeling this way. As wifi towers proliferate the world becomes harder and harder for me to live in.
It is hard to comment when I am sitting in from of a computer, an EMF producer! I am very sensitive to cell phones, cell towers, wifi, lithium batteries high tension wires and MUCH more. While in the presence of a strong cell phone, I cannot think, speak or exert normally. If I am exposed for very long, I will be totally wiped out for a day or more afterwards. I am living at the far edge of town on almost an acre with nothing. behind it. I stay here because going out exposes me to cell phones, smart cars. high tension wires, cell towers and other EMF devices. The current high EMF environment has seriously handicapped me and caused me to be primarily bound to my own property, which is not perfect but so much better than going anywhere else. It has basically stopped my social life. My husband does all the shopping. I am severely restricted in where I can go. This has gotten exponentially worse from the time we returned from a Bangladesh assignment in 2013.
For six years I worked on the bottom floor of a three story building that had a cell phone tower installed on the roof.
I developed a mystery illness that progressively got worse to where I lost my ability to function, sleep, think and my career.
My lifestyle was just work, gym 3x a week 3 meals a day & shopping/chores on the weekends. Nothing crazy but losing a career at 47 is devastating, living in poverty and afraid of doctors.
I also live very close to a big shopping mall when I drive by it my radio starts to squeal from the signals. I actually feel better when I leave home but it's a vicious circle because I mostly feel too sick to leave.
Thank you so much for looking into this. We are experiencing death by a thousand cuts and this weapon needs to be monitored and/or removed.
I’m extremely concerned about wireless radiation. We run a center for adults with autism and they can hardly tolerate any frequency, it affects their behavior and mental health in extraordinary ways. Please listen to Children’s Health Defense EMR department who are raising the alarm. If we truly want to make America healthy Again then this must be of utmost priority. With thanks from all our adults with autism
Wireless radiation impacted me over 15 yrs ago when I unknowingly got fios installed in my room in my mid 30s i had insane insomnia.. things resolved but in 2020 I was getting extremely fatigued lack energy again insomnia set in. In 2023 the insomnia fatigue got so bad that for 6 months I ended up 3x in ER with chest constrictions and struggling with POTS wheeling myself around in a wheelchair in my late 40s. To set the record I have always exercised and ate healthy and have a healthy relationship with God and healthy emotions. My life didnt start to get back on track until God directed me to devices that properly address the EMF Chaos when Fiber Optics came in this again signifcantly impacted me, fortunately the same company was very aware of it and was able to come up with a remediation solution for FO and AI coming off of cell phones/lap tops... If I'm not in eMF remediated environments i can barely function or think.. brain fog becomes severe like i cant even process what i'm trying to do, insomnia sets back in and my body gets exhausted.. Thankfully I'm educated and I pray the gov't starts to edcuate and take a stand for its citizens. Thank you Tracy PS i have many life witnesses to this journey
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 member of the public who has been adversely impacted by the reckless use of the technologies protected by the Telecommunications Act of 1996.
I strongly support HHS taking an active role in examining the health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. I was adversely affected by wireless radiation when I moved into an apartment without knowing that there was a cell antennae across the street, beaming into my new bedroom. My nervous system was so badly affected by the constant stimulation, I could not sleep and had to move out. I now live in an apartment where I cannot sleep in the bedroom because the electrical fields are in the red zone (as measured by a building biologist). I sleep in the living room and use the bedroom as a giant closet. You might say “just move out.” But this is the most affordable place I can find.
My friend is very sensitive to wireless radiation and now lives in a barn on a farm outside of town because that is the only way he can reduce his exposure so he can sleep.
It would be a miracle if HHS took this seriously and started to protect the people and wildlife by raising public awareness of the reality of wireless radiation.
There is already ample evidence, based on thousands of scientific studies that have already been done. You don’t need to re-invent the wheel. Just evaluate the research that has already been done. Children’s Health Defense has a huge repository of evidence and testimony, and they can help you get started. I have attached a pdf of a summary of scientific studies that have already been done on this matter.
May you have the courage to do the right thing.
