Housing, work & access barriers

Since January 1990 we we have suffered terribly from RF and EMF radiation. A nuclear power plant close to where we live started up a second generator pushing too much power over old lines which cause tremendous physical suffering. It was so bad that we had to move to the mountains. After 7 years we move back into the area but we need to have a Blushield and a Qshield running 24/7 and having to carry personal size ones when we leave our home. The day they turned on 5G in our area during covid my husband started having grand mal seizures. He had 17 until the doctors putting on anti-seizure meds and took his driver's license away for a year. They illegally put on a smart meter why we were gone one day and that ended up in a four and a half year nightmare to keep it off our home. Since then we've met many, many people who are suffering from RF and EMF generation. It's beyond a nightmare!

I became aware of emf's after being diagnosed with mold illness, then later a rare auto immune disease that photosensitivity is a common symptom off. It may be multiple forms of radiation sensitivity and/or visible light. Blue light also impacts health and skin. I lost my insurance license worked so hard to get because I could not work on phone and pc without effects on skin. I can no longer work or fly and even car travel by so many towers causes issues. I follow many sites that have done scientific experiments on the effects and heard that China requires pregnant women to cover their bellies to protect unborn. Other countries much stricter guidelines especially for children, while we just keep adding towers near schools. Remember don't stand in front of the microwave? Now we wear them and siti in frot of the radiation many hours a day. And we wonder why the unhealthiest of all time?

To Whom It May Concern: I am extremely sensitive to radio frequency emissions. Exposure from 5G and EMFs already impacts my ability to live a full life personally. My chronic Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity condition has left me home bound even for the work I do full-time through workplace accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act. I have a well-documented history of this condition, which is recognized as an idiopathic environmental intolerance, which produces reproducible, multi-system symptoms in response to low-level environmental exposures to electromagnetic fields, exposures that are generally tolerated by the broader population. Symptoms include, but are not limited to migraines, vertigo, nausea, syncope, tachycardia, acute gastrointestinal distress, and profound fatigue with my condition being responsive only to strict environmental avoidance. These reactions are unpredictable, potentially severe, and have occurred both acutely while in exposure-related circumstances. Intensifying prevalence of objects like smartphones, smart meters, and Wi-Fi increase my symptomology and reduce my ability to maintain a manageable existence creating extreme conceivable biological harm. The supreme court in the state where I live is currently deciding if smart meters which emit high levels of human-made high-frequency nonionizing radiation and cause all house wiring to emit radiation will be permitted. Respectfully.

2. 4j. I am a 68 year-old female individual. Masters degree in Architecture, Registered Architect. I speak simply from my own experience. 3. 3b. My father was a HAM radio buff, so I grew up under those radio waves. Born with a metabolic bone disease, I had more than the usual number of x-rays. For the past 20 years, our family has driven hybrid cars. These things may have contributed to my sensitivity. 3c, e, 4h. For quite some time I have experienced PVCs (Premature Ventricular Contractions), finally diagnosed by a Holter monitor worn several years ago after my Primary Care Physician ran several other tests and found nothing wrong with my heart. These PVCs feel like I’m being “zapped,” and I instinctively cough, trying to regulate my heartbeat. 3a. Recently, they’ve become much more frequent, and I see a strong link to high EMF. Hospital equipment, airport communications, wifi, cell phone signals, high-powered electric lines, and Smart Meters cause the worst issues for me. Solar flares and Coronal Mass Ejections exacerbate the PVCs, but not much can be done about that. EMFs have become ubiquitous, though, and are getting harder to avoid. 4k. A classic, but memorable example: When driving up I-95 around New York City last summer, the PVCs and the accompanying cough were constant for nearly an hour, until we were finally past the City and the density of those 5G transmitters. Driving through Vermont was quite pleasant, by contrast. Mountains, trees. Not much traffic. Then suddenly the “zapping” and coughing started again. Sure enough, as the trees cleared, a huge cell tower came into view. And as we left it behind, the zapping subsided. 4k. Eating out has become risky. My husband keeps his phone in airplane mode when I’m near, but when new customers are seated at the next table, it’s not unusual for our pleasant evening to become a nightmare as I am overwhelmed with the “zapping” their smart phones and watches provoke. Meanwhile, they look at me like I have the plague, wondering how I dare come out in public if I’m obviously so contagious. (Sigh.) 4m. Do people REALLY need to have their smartphones on 24/7? Could we encourage people to keep their phones in “airplane mode” unless they actually NEED them? And then there are so many young people that walk around all day with Bluetooth earbuds. I try to keep clear from them as much as I can, but I worry about what they are doing to their own health. 3f. We recently bought a new car. But not a hybrid this time. When out son checked the EMFs for us on test drives, they were extremely high. We settled for a gas-only vehicle… having finally found one that at least MOSTLY lets us turn off the on-board wifi. Such is becoming rare. 3f. My new hearing aids give off three times the EMF of my previous pair, so I wear them only when necessary. If they’re on, they’re searching for Bluetooth. My audiologist has no other options for me. 3f. My only recourse is to avoid situations where I know there will be high levels of EMF. I do like to socialize and be with people, but I find myself becoming a recluse. Our son put a wire mesh over our Smart Meter to reduce its impact, and that helps a bit. We always turn off wifi at night, my husband keeps his smartphone and iPad in airplane mode when not in use, and I turn my CPAP machine to airplane mode when I plug it in. I avoid being online for long periods of time, and stop as I feel the PVCs approach. I hide behind my reflective silver-woven curtains at home to reduce the EMF from the cell tower outside my window, and curl up under my silver-woven blanket and hood at night. I sleep much better with them, as they block enough EMFs from said cell tower that I no longer wake up throughout the night with PVCs. There ARE still occasional times when the silver isn't enough, and I wake up coughing. Later I learn there were Solar Flares or CMEs that night. My silver blanket and hood also help quiet the “buzz” (which eventually leads to PVCs when left unchecked) while waiting at airport gates or when the plane itself has on-board wifi and I’m completely surrounded, but it comes with its share of stares. And the silver fabric only blocks so much. Our culture has been encouraged to have “Smart” Everything. It is expected. And I fear for the long-term consequences that this increased exposure will bring to this next generation.

Non native frequencies are making me very ill. I have recently found that I cannot stay in my own home without getting ill. I am attempting to address this and it is complicated. Wifi and cell towers have been placed without care for health. Technology has rolled forth quickly without care for safety. I am supportive of new technology but this process requires regulation.

First I want to say thank you for realizing this is a problem and asking this question and doing something about it. In June 2020 I was totally debilitated by EMF and RF in my home in Rancho Santa Fe California. I had to move out of my home to our Ranch on Palomar Mountain, which is totally off the grid no antennas no Towers no Smart Meters etc within 10 miles. It’s now 2026 and I’m still affected by the EMF’s even though I’ve taken many measures to mediate the EMF‘s and RF in my home in Rancho Santa Fe at great expense to me. I’ve also spent thousands of dollars on Health issues trying to help me get through these EMF /RF maladies, including terrible headaches, ringing in my ears, nausea, irritability, and being completely off-balance to the point where I have to hold onto things to walk around my house or out in public. It’s been a nightmare! When this happens to you, you become aware of how many people are truly affected by this. Also, I feel incredibly sorry for all the children in the schools on the computers, etc., with no protection, and towers and antennas, sometimes even on top of the schools. I think there might be a way to change the frequency of these things to be beneficial or at least a neutral frequency that isn’t harmful . Thank you Jana Lucaccioni

My name is Yosheeda Hyche. I have been targeted since 2003. So about 21 years. Loud cars through the night. Guided energy is sent into my house through my ears and a force hits the to of my head usually all night. These attacks have caused struggles with my memory eyesight sleep and other problems. Loud sudden noises from cars through the night and when I drive in the daytime. Unnatural heat in my home even when it’s cold. Followed on the road constantly. Color patterns on the road. I am a Christian and committed to the Lord Jesus. I have only survived all these years because of my God. I lost my job as a school teacher and office jobs.

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 concerned member of the public I have personally been negatively affected by wireless towers in my health. I cannot get a proper sleep cycle when I am within 200 yards of a tower - it has also affected my cognitive abilities - I am unable to focus and do my work and have experienced sickness from said towers as well. Because of my sensitivity I am unable to travel to certain areas and have to be careful where I roam. This is unacceptable and deeply concerns me for all in my community that experience this. 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.

EMF exposure affects me very directly . My symptoms are irregular heart beat and micro-clotting of the blood, both putting me at high risk of heart attack or stroke. I cannot travel or live in a normal house, but can only survive in a house that has been protected from EMF's in every way possible.

I am severely affected by wireless radiation. It happened when I was in my car using my cell phone and trying out my newly received hearing aids with their blue tooth connection, Right afterwards whenever I passed a telephone line I noticed I felt a lot of pressure on my head and it wase extremely uncomfortable. After that I could not be around telephone lines, cell phones, cell towers, mortems, and other types of EMF sources. In fact I had to sleep in my car away from all these sources. Someone told me about a neurotoxicologist who knew about this problem. He didn't have any answers at that time, but was researching the problem. Later someone told me to contact him again, which I did. The doctor had come out of retirement to research a medicine that had helped someone else. He gave me the same prescription to try and it cut my reactions to the EMF's by about half, but then again, he needed to retire. The Dr. was 96 or 97 at the time and his name is Dr. Gunnar Heuser or maybe Hueser. I could not have him help me anymore as I mentioned as he had retired again, Dr. Heuser may not be alive by now--that was about 4 years ago, but my regular doctors know about my problem. Even though the medicine Dr. Heuser gave me cut my reactions about half, my life is still very affected. I now have a landline and can only use my cell phone in emergencies, cannot be around most other people's phones or computers, cell towers, and most modems which means there are many events I cannot attend, eat out unless far away from others phones, or spend anytime in my car if parked by a type of car that has high EMF output. I have met other people also affected EMF's, and I am especially concerned for children who live or go to schools near cell towers I do not want ANYONE to go through what I have been though. Also I would like people who carry their phones which are always on, on their bodies or anyone else that may be affected by the EMF outputs knew about these risks. Please help us!
