Housing, work & access barriers

I had a big, beautiful life before I started getting sick. I started getting all the random symptoms associated with EMFs in 2020 with the release of 5g. I didn’t know the cause of my symptoms until I got Covid in August of 2021. It was during my 3 weeks of being sick that I suddenly couldn’t hold my phone without feeling the energy it was radiating. It made feel like I was being punched in the gut followed by a laundry list of symptoms. Apparently, Covid threw me over the edge and all the symptoms I was already dealing with became 100 times louder. This started a chain reaction where I stopped being able to handle any EMFs. I can now feel and react to all cell phones, WIFI, bluetooth, wearables, general electricity, and the radiation coming off of people and things. I get every commonly listed symptom of EMF/radiation exposure and then some. I have spent endless hours researching and doing everything possible to improve my situation and ameliorate my symptoms. I have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to do things to safeguard my home, buying devices that were supposed to help, and endless protocols to help detox my body/calm my nervous system/etc.. All to no avail. I have been unable to leave my home for over 5 years (much longer if you include the Covid lockdown time from which I have never been released). Because I get sick from the radiation I feel coming off of people, I have to stay isolated. I have been incarcerated and in solitary confinement without ever committing a crime. I have been completely disabled and lost my ability to work, but disability coverage supposedly isn’t an option as this isn’t a covered disease/illness. I have lost almost all of my friends and family since I can’t participate in the relationships. Since most of them don’t understand or believe that their beloved technology is harmful, it has caused a rift in my relationships. If I was sick with cancer, people would be rallying around me with offers of help and support. This is not the case with electrosensitivity. Most want to be in denial that it’s an issue and it’s easier to just call me crazy than it is to own that these technologies are harmful and this can be a real result of their use. Somehow, it’s easier for people to believe that I wanted to give up my big, beautiful life in trade for isolation and suffering than it is to believe that our government would allow us to all be subjected to harmful frequencies. It is criminal that I should have to suffer to such a degree because of everybody’s addiction to these dangerous technologies. These non-native frequencies should have never been released onto the population. I have always been the canary type, which, in the end, is probably a gift as I am able to protect myself as best I can from these frequencies/radiation when the rest of the world is ignorant to their destruction. A few final notes: before I got sick, I used to notice that my dogs would move to the far side of the room every time I would pick up my phone. At the time, I realized they were reacting to my phone, but I didn’t have the conscious awareness or understanding of what it was doing to them or how bad it actually feels to be sensitive to these devices. I feel horrible now that I am having this experience that I subjected them to it. I can also tell the difference between houses that use hardwired internet and those that use 5g or satellite technologies. The ones that use these newer wireless technologies put off so much radiation that the entire neighborhood becomes loaded with it and I can’t go near it. I used to be able to walk my dog on different streets near me, but as people have changed their internet providers to these technologies, I have had to stop taking my dog any farther than just a few house in one direction before I have to retreat to my home.
 And finally, the release of 5g has drastically increased the amount of constant harmful radiation people are being subjected to 24/7. Because I have the uncommon ability/curse to feel radiation, rather than just the frequencies. I have experienced a progression in the last several years of accumulated radiation on people and objects. The change in the amount of radiation has been drastic from when I first got sick to now. It is scary to viscerally experience what has happened to our world with the release of these microwave technologies. They are lightyears more harmful than the previous generations and they have polluted our world more than anybody can imagine. 
 I hope this information is helpful and actually contributes to changes in policy as my life has been 100% destroyed by Big Tech and the US Government’s lack of response in protecting its citizens.

Hi, my name is Julie Beck l, I live in the Town of Frisco in Colorado. I live in a condo, 4 units in my building. Last February I opted out of Xcel Energy smart electric meter program, I encouraged all my neighbors to do so too explaining that the meters are 6ft from where the ground floor unit holders sleep and withing your bio energetic field which emits 5-6ft from us all. I was the only one to opt out and have a non communicating meter but the other 3 meters and 1 for our laundry unit emit pulses of emf rf every 45 seconds. I am unable to sleep in my master bedroom for 1.5 years now because of this. Xcel energy does nothing, my hoa wont do anything, my Town wont do anything with a building code. Have to sleep in my spare bedroom with a silver beanie on my head every night so I dont get a headache and wired. I am not a headache person and slept ok for the prior 18 years I lived here. My $1million condo is unusable!! I have an RF meter and go around my Town and the RF is off the charts next to our preschool and private middle/high school. I just showed the Town Manager the frequencies as he and I walked around Town. Apparently the FCC has free reign to place EMF tower eg 5G, anywhere in our town. No one at the town hall, on town council, even knows the frequencies being emitted or if its a 5G or 6G tower. They are in residential areas. The south side of Main St between 4th and 5th Ave are ofd the charts EMF RF, I have seen over 200 Mw/m² ( Milli Watts per meter squared) on the side walk. My RF meter says "safe" until 15 Mw/m² then it says "over" and starts beeping and goes red. I feel angry and haggard after walking through that block and people are eating on the sidewalk there. And we wonder why peole are angry, sterile, sick. The FCC is corrupt and has outdated 1990s upper limit standards compared to other European countries. I tell people that whatever the government says, if u do the opposite then you will be fine! The government is responsible for contaminating our air with dangerous emfs, chemical trails/particulate matter, poisoning our water, our food (glyphosate, diquat etc) and doing little or nothing to regulate poisons in our food. Every restaurant serves poison water and sysco truck low quality poisoned food. BLQCKROCK etc has bought any good food company and poisoned the food. Darpa or whoever has fucked our skies with poisons, the sky isn't the same violet blue any longer and emfs are emitted daily, I see the wispy clouds, chem trails, funky clouds that are man made. And whats with the created drought last winter??? Sick of it.

Like most Americans pursuing the dream, we have been keeping up with the ever growing need for cellphones, iPads for all of our homeschooling kids, Apple Watches to keep us all connected, faster WiFi and full home security systems, after all, we’re trying to provide the best for our family. Until December of 2024 spiraled our family on to a medical goose chase as mold exposure paired with these ever magnifying frequencies, sent our kids searching for reasons they didn’t feel good. To top it off, our sweet daughter alap came down with tic-borne Bartonella Henslae and Anaplasma bacterias that have radically jerked our family around leaving us running towards alternative answers for here very quickly cascading neurological symptoms that almost took her life 300 days in. Today we’ve had to move away from our home near the city (and many local towers and antennas), and search for medical attention to try to help her fully recover. Day 670, and we’ve yet to see her memory restored. How did we know to move away from all the frequencies? Our family-friend has a property on a mountain near our city created with low to no EMF exposure. His scientific studies and great love for our families recovery took our debilitated daughter to the mountain for a few days. After our third day, she was walking and kicking a soccer ball for the first time in over a year since she was in full time ballet classes like a normal 13 year old girl just a year prior. She has been the most significantly impacted with a hyper sensitivity to all of the exposures and today must refrain from family events, using all phone or RF exposing devices, unless she stays inside a small silver EMF canopy to shield her from it all. Her new awareness of exposures has left her unable to live a normal life, daily debilitation, and the bacterias continue aggressively suppressing her body as her immune system fights the issues inside and out. Walking away from our home, our sense of a “normal” family, and the hope to help her recover safely away from it all has moved us into a motorhome ready to go anywhere we can to give us peace and healing. We’re still learning about EMF’s, RF’s and cellphone exposure, but Avery can tell if it’s within 100 feet of her. It’s time to start learning about the negative implications of the ever progressing lives we all yearn to live. Thank you for reading.

I lived in a rural area in Nebraska. In 1916 I started to become progressively sensitive to cell phones and cell towers. Verizon constructed two repeater cell towers; I lived in between them. When they turned the second one on I felt like an elephant sat on my chest and was in extreme pain. I had to live in my basement until we could sell our home. A home that I had worked 16 hour days, 5 1/2 days per week for years to buy. I had to leave my family, friends and a life I had taken years to build. No one is accountable, no one takes responsibility for the thousands affected. No one makes the research count. The research is there. Make it VISIBLE and spotlight the science that validates the harm.

I am a 70 year old woman. I moved to what is a corrupt and frighteningly controlling town. Someone (most likely from a nearby mega-church) installed masers in the crawl space under my house in 2019. The system is used to track my movements in the house, punish me when I say something to my husband they do not approve of, etc. The system is damaging my central nervous system (I am developing the shakes in my hands/forearms), severely damaged my right breast, is erasing memory, has carved up my legs, and possibly other physical damage. The people involved in this in part attend the mega-church; I refused to attend that church. The FBI was called in due to two adult sons of the woman across the street who attends the mega-church trespassed onto my property and used electronics to determine what outbuilding I was in. My constitutional rights are being severely violated: freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the right to assemble, the right to no searches without a warrant (my house and property are broken into on a regular basis and I have experienced I believe between $20,000 and $30,000 in theft and vandalism). The KBI has also been involved - the masers once was vibrating one of my teeth to the point that I thought it would explode; I went to a hotel and checked in. I told the woman at the desk that I did not want my location given out under any circumstances, and she then got in a huff and moved my room to one that was immediately above a room that the KBI was in. I was exposed to microwaves from portable mazers all night in my room. The room was paid for on my husband's card. I read an article in the Kansas Reflector that young girls are now being surveilled. If they are being treated like this it will damage their sense of boldness and courage, reducing them to obedient nothings. Plus their cells are multiplying much faster than an adult's. I have read that the symptoms I am experiencing are typical of masers, plus masers are cancer-causing. The masers are operated remotely and also have some programmed patterns as well (I am a retired IT professional). This is equipment that was developed for use in places like Afgahnastan (I am sure that spelling is incorrect, my apologies). The story is much longer, but I need to go rest. I believe that this equipment was put on sale to the American state governments and individuals because our Congress has been ridiculously irresponsible in creating the National Debt, and they are frantically scraping the bottom of the barrel for any possible source of revenue. SHAME ON YOU! FIX THIS!

I have experienced symptoms that I identify as electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) for approximately ten years. In the past, my condition was considerably more severe than it is today. I am currently doing much better, but this needs to be understood in the context of the way I have adapted my daily life to maintain very low exposure to electromagnetic fields. I try to live with minimal exposure in order to avoid returning to the severe condition I experienced previously. Maintaining this low-exposure baseline now allows me to tolerate occasional exposures, such as going to restaurants or traveling, generally with fewer consequences than in the past. In my experience, Wi-Fi exposure is associated with headaches and tension or pain in my neck and shoulders. When I hold or use a mobile phone or tablet, I experience tingling sensations in my hands. These symptoms occur during exposure and gradually decrease after the exposure ends. The time required for them to subside varies depending on the exposure. In the past, I lived in an apartment with a telecommunications antenna directly in front of it. While I lived there, my symptoms were persistent rather than occurring only during occasional exposures. At that time, I experienced headaches, neck and shoulder tension or pain, insomnia, fatigue, anxiety, and episodes involving symptoms that I now recognize as compatible with mast cell activation, although this had not been diagnosed at the time. This situation was one of the reasons I eventually decided to move. After moving and substantially reducing my everyday exposure, my improvement was slow and gradual, not immediate. Over time, however, I improved considerably. I continue to maintain a very low-exposure home environment. I believe this is important to mention because looking only at my current level of symptoms could give an incomplete picture: reducing exposure is part of how I organize my life in order to remain stable. I cannot establish from my personal experience alone that RF/EMF exposure caused my symptoms, nor can I prove that reducing exposure caused my improvement. What I can report is an approximately ten-year history in which I have repeatedly observed a temporal association between certain exposures and the onset of symptoms, a gradual reduction in symptoms after exposure ends, and long-term improvement while living in a low-exposure environment. I believe research into the potential health effects of RF/EMF exposure should include people who report persistent symptoms temporally associated with exposure, particularly individuals who may currently appear recovered or much less affected because they have substantially modified their environment. If research considers only current symptom severity without documenting the exposure-reduction or avoidance measures a person uses, important information may be missed. I also believe it is important to investigate the timing between exposure and symptom onset, recovery time after exposure ends, the effects of continuous or repeated exposure, and whether maintaining a low-exposure environment over long periods changes an individual's response to subsequent occasional exposures

Less than a year after I got an iPhone 5, back in 2012, a fatty cyst developed on the inside of my elbow. Doctors had it ultrasounded, and the only information that procedure produced was "it is very deep." I asked them to just cut it open and they refused, saying they want to aspirate it. People I know who have had fatty cysts aspirated learn that aspirating only angers the cyst and it grows. And so, I am at a standstill with western medicine, as they won't cut it open without aspirating. It is now 2026, the cyst is still there, not getting any bigger or smaller. IF only I were able to NOT use an iPhone for a year, I do know that it would start to slowly dissolve. ALSO everyone I know has tinnitus, including me. Can we please, somehow, get away from WiFi to see if that is what we are hearing? "Oh no!" says the audiologist! "You have tinnitus!" I wish that I could get away from WiFi long enough to hear. I cannot prove anything without getting away from WiFi and the world won't allow me to get away from WiFi. I feel trapped. I really do.

Living with an intolerance to wireless technology (including the author) (*) An increasing number of people live with the difficulties incurred by intolerance to the radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF EMF) generated by wireless technology. This ubiquitous ‘Electrosmog’ surrounds us all on a daily basis. EMF expert Dr. Magda Havas estimates that 35% of the population now struggles with symptoms related to exposure to radiofrequency microwaves from wireless devices, such as wi-fi, smartphones, tablets, smartmeters, and mobile phone masts, with 3-10% of people being “hypersensitive” – termed Electrical Hypersensitivity, EHS. Symptoms include: fatigue, headache, insomnia, irritability, lack of concentration (brainfog), cardiac arrhythmias, tinnitus, low mood and other physical and neuropsychiatric effects (1). Historically, it was thought to be a type of Microwave Sickness (2). In addition to tinnitus, there can be unilateral, high frequency hearing loss on the side of mobile phone use (3). Mechanisms include effects on the blood and autonomic nervous system leading to enhanced sympathetic response and downgraded parasympathetic response (ie. ‘fight or flight’) (4) (5). The WHO radioprotection programme multi-national study on the effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure on cancer in laboratory animals revealed a high certainty of evidence for gliomas, malignant heart schwannomas, and moderate for lung carcinomas, phaeochromocytomas and hepatoblastomas (6). The WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) designated EMFs a Class IIB carcinogen in 2011, but, following further evaluation, there is now sufficient evidence to reclassify it as a Class I carcinogen – ie similar to tobacco and asbestos (7). Although there exists an ICD-10 code (W90) for exposure to non-ionising radiofrequency radiation, the medical profession often appears unwilling to consider this as a possible environmental trigger for illness in their patients (8). One helpful clue is that patients have sometimes noted that their symptoms are associated with EMF exposure (eg using a mobile phone). They then feel well when away from the device but feel ill again on re-exposure (9), Sometimes EHS sufferers are not taken seriously and there have been cases where the patient has been sectioned under the Mental Health Act for describing such an attribution of their symptoms (10). One might wonder whether irrational acts such as driving into crowds of pedestrians might be influenced by driver irritability from exposure to high levels of in-vehicle wireless technology (11). Whilst not universally medically recognised, EHS is a real, biological phenomenon, not a nocebo reaction. And as doctors we all remember the misclassification of CFS/ME as “all in the head”. Intolerance to RF EMFs occurs not only in radiofrequency radiation workers and the military, but also the general public, who are increasingly surrounded by pulsed, polarised electromagnetic radiation at work, school and home (12). Indeed, the Swedish government has funded shielding in hospitals for patients so affected (13). Let us hope that medical profession is now willing to educate itself on this topic so as to be better able to serve patients. Since ample, good science is available (14) (15), there is no longer any excuse to passively accept the platitudes of the communications industry based on outdated, thermal standards.

I am a victim of being tortured with emf’s and rf radiation and or microwave frequencies daily. I first noticed the effects of the in December of 2025, although I believe this has been going on for at least a couple of years longer than that. I have found that a heavy metal detox of EMTB has greatly diminished the pain and concussion like symptoms that I was suffering from by these attacks, however, occasionally they strength of these attacks overwhelm me and incapacitates me for a few days. I also am living with constant tinnitus, which I feel is directly from being tortured by these directed energy weapons and I feel I hear the sounds intensify when another round of being hit by them starts. Please help end this torture program that is disabling me and hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians in the United States and many more abroad, so we can get back our life that we once had and deserve to be free. Thank you for giving me a voice to plead for help and thank you in advance for everything you will do to help the targeted individuals, John G

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 patient. the electric company installed smart meters on the home I was renting and all the surrounding neighbors. I developed headaches 24/7 and muscle spasms. I could not sleep, I could not work, I could not function. I had to go to a wooded area and sleep in my car to get any rest. I became dehydrated and spent nine days in the hospital. I had to move to a rural area to get as far away from radiation as possible leaving my family and friends and had to close my business. Some friends had inherited an old farm house 2 miles from a cell tower and did NOT have a SMART METER which they let me move into wtith rent far below market. I have since recovered my health but I have NOT been able to re-establish my business and am struggling to live on social security. Then the local electric company installed smart meters on my neighbors and threatened to disconnect my electric service if I did not allow them to install one on this home. I then agreed to pay them $100 to install an analog meter and $40 each month for them to read it. This is an EXORTION FEE. I am capable of reading the meter and providing the info to them just like residents of other states including Indiana. These utility companies have a monopoly and they are using it to profit at our expense. Thank you for considering my physical and financial comments.
