Housing, work & access barriers

I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. My comment is to explain the details of what I have to go through to live in this contaminated EMF environment. This is what I have to do what I can to protect myself from EMF radiation: I moved to the country on acreage so that I have no neighbors close to me which reduces my exposure. I refused the Smart Reader (which fortunately Oregon allows) and now have to pay an additional $3 per month as meter reading fee even though they do not read the meter monthly. They only read the meter once a year. My router does not have a separate WiFi on/off switch and Century Link says they do not have a router with this feature that is compatible with this capability. Therefore, I turn off my router and only turn it on when I access the internet which I do only on a hardwired laptop. I do not have a Smart TV so that it is not adding to my exposure. I watch tv with an antenna and record programs with the software on my Hauppauge tuner that is in the desktop computer attached to my TV screen. All hardwired. However, when my tv monitor goes out I understand that there are no TV’s without WiFi available anymore. I do not have any appliances with WiFi capabilities but I understand that it is becoming increasingly difficult to find any appliance without WiFi which will become a problem in the future. I do not have space for a printer near my computer so I have to use WiFi. I keep that printer turned off so that it is not searching for a WiFi signal except when I need to print something. On my cell phone I keep Bluetooth, WiFi, Data and Location off at all times. Every couple days, I try to remember to turn on WiFi for a few minutes in order to receive any text messages that were sent to me by RCS. I keep my cell phone in a far corner in my house and when I am outside, I keep it away from my body. I use a stylus to text. I use Airplane mode, Farraday bag, turning my phone off as other methods to reduce EMF. I have an in-ground landline phone line to my house, and I have corded phones. I installed LED lights in my kitchen and dining area before I knew that they were not good for my health. Now, due to federal regulations I am not able to purchase new cans and incandescent bulbs. That needs to be reversed. My car is a 2008 and therefore does not have the invasive electronic features. I have not purchased a new car because, I understand that any car from 2012 to date has all the invasive electronic features. I do not know what I am going to do if my car fails and I have to replace it. Going inside any hospital or clinic is very unhealthy as you are barraged with EMF. If I require medical assistance it will need to be outside of the medical system. I am forced to pay for Medicare even though I choose not to, and cannot, use its services. I am researching to find out how I can opt out of Medicare so that I can use that money to support my health outside of the HealthCare system such as Home Care, Telehealth, etc. As you can see, this is A LOT. I am blessed to now be retired and have the money to be able to make these modifications in order to feel healthy and vibrant and protect my health. But the question is, should we be creating a world where this is necessary? 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.

I became electro hypersensitive after being over exposed to a mobile phone mast while on holiday back in 2017. Since then I have become steadily worse with regards to the symptoms I experience when exposed to anything emitting non ionizing radiation. I become dizzy with headaches, tinnitus, numbness in my face, a heavy weight on my body, extreme fatigue, chest pain and breathlessness. I cannot use a mobile phone for calls and just holding my old basic mobile (with no wifi) can cause shocks and numbness in my hands. Despite my internet router having wifi turned off and in a sliver bloc YFry bag I have to limit my time online. I also place silver bloc material over my laptop. I sleep in a silver bloc canopy which is grounded as my flat is surrounded by masts. One 4G monopole (80 meters from my flat) and two 5G monopole's one 100 meters the other 50 meters. My flat is in a line of sight. I had to get a financial loan to shield my living room with EMF shielding paint so I could use it. Every day I am affected as masts are everywhere. Even visiting friends with wifi or going into a cafe or library is difficult and at times impossible. I fear for my future and worry I will become worse the more this technology is rolled out. My home phone is now very difficult to use since I was forced onto digital voice. I can only use it on speaker in a YFry bag and only for around 10 minutes. I miss chatting with my family and friends. I live in Scotland and I have traveled a great deal in my country but there are few places if any to escape from this. The odd time I have found somewhere with no mobile phone signal or masts in sight my tinnitus has reduced significantly as well as my other symptoms.

My older sister has been dealing with EMF related problems for approximately 10 years. It has escalated into such a debilitating disease that she has difficulty going anywhere public. Cell phones, electronics, etc. will stimulate pain in her face and cause havoc with her body. I also was exposed to other people with this condition when I worked in a health food store that sold supplements. Cell towers every where exacerbates problems for these folks. I personally struggle with chemical sensitivities and have heard/read that it can lead to EMF problems so I am very aware of this situation. We are all fooling ourselves into thinking that this stuff doesn't affect us and I wonder about the younger generation who are exposed 24/7. Regulation is definitely needed and all this equipment surrounding us is going to have consequences.

I am a wife, a mom of 4, an RN, an avid volunteer, and now highly sensitive to EMF's. I have had zero health issues until in February of this year I was in a "Smart Neighborhood" after recovering from the flu and covid. My body felt recovered, but my immune system was still clearing it. I was there to visit a sick relative in the hospital. The first night there I began having chest pressure, a resting heartrate of 120, and tingling in my hands and feet. I went to the ER to see if I was having a heart attack. Once I was cleared at the hospital, the tingling continued to spread up my arms and legs. The tingling turned into burning like I was on fire. I cut my trip short and came home and immediately saw my Dr. After multiple scans, I was asked what kind of EMF's I had been exposed to. That was when we realized that the EMF's from the "Smart Neighborhood" and the hospital exposure combined with my recovering immune system has essentially poisoned my system. Since then, my genetics testing has shown that I have the MTHFR mutation. They say 40-60 percent of the population has this. It makes my system more susceptible to any type of toxin. To this day, 9 months later, I am unable to touch a live cell phone. I am unable to be near a live cell phone. I am hardly able to navigate in a wifi environment. It has crippled my ability to work, go to church, and volunteer as I did. I have spent thousands on supplements, red light therapies, iv infusions, acupuncture, chiropractic, massage therapy, etc. to try to help mitigate this. We have hard wired our home so that I can function here. But I will say that even living on 12 acres, I can pick up on up to 5 different wifi signals in my home from nearby farms. It's almost impossible to get away from it all. I know my situation is extreme sensitivity. But, I am clear that many are suffering milder effects and aren't correlating it to EMF's. Headaches, random nausea, exhaustion, brain fog, etc. Because we live in such a world that you can't hardly get away from it, it is hard to connect without the right Dr. When we try to go away for a trip, I have to drive because a plan is one of the worst. I can't hardly find a place that will allow me to turn off the wifi to stay. Restaurants are an issue. Grocery stores are an issue. Getting gas is an issue. I will continue to fight for my health, and also to educate people on something that I was very unaware of before this happened to me in February. I realize that technology isn't going anywhere, but whether we have the warning signals in our body or not, we are ALL getting damaged from EMF's. There has to be better regulations put into place to protect us. To protect the children. To protect the unborn.

For some folks, EMFs, RF and Wireless radiation exposure is a reality. I have seen people's lives stopped to a complete halt with life long suffering. They have to live in remote places and take extreme care to avoid all the radiation that they humanly can. Some have built homes and basements to shelter themselves from it. It is a real issue for some.

I am writing from the UK. A few years back I spent several hours in the centre of Manchester just after 5G was introduced. That evening, I experienced really bad cramping in my arms and legs. I thought nothing of it at the time, although I don’t suffer with cramp normally. Roll on a couple of so years, and I was visiting Manchester again and remember seeing a new mast on top of a building. Again, I didn’t think anything of it. My husband and I went for lunch at a nearby café, and I suddenly experienced the same cramping as before. Within half an hour I felt dreadful. Very weak with a headache. My husband supported me in walking back to the metro to head back to base. I spent the next 3 days in bed, with a raging headache, feeling and being sick. My husband spent most of the time trying to cool me down with cold, wet cloths. It took a couple of weeks after that for me to feel vaguely OK. I am convinced that I experienced some sort of radiation sickness. We don’t live in Manchester but the town in which we do live now has several masts and I have constant white noise and mild ringing in my ears (we are WIFI-free in our house). I avoid city centres and public transport, concerts etc as much as possible, and feel like life is gradually shrinking as I try to avoid being in areas with high levels of EMFs, something which is nigh on impossible to achieve nowadays..

Hello, my name is Arlet Rodriguez. I’m 26 years old, & I’ve been negatively affected by RF/EMF biomonitoring. In the year 2020, in the start of COVID lockdown, my cp devices were hacked into/infiltrated. I had a Blue Journal app, for ex., which began to ask sexual questions as prompt ideas. I was prevented from applying to a coding bootcamp stipend, & couldn’t complete my education. My underwear was stolen, & later on, my vid camera & Kindle. My car was broken into, & a piece next to the driver’s seat was missing, so I began to feel too scared to drive. I began to experience the effects of synthetic telepathy 24/7, commonly referred to Voice-To-Skull tech, but it wasn’t obvious at first; the transmissions were faint. Even so, a man with a black mask walked past me and tapped his ear as if signaling to listen. A few weeks later, I woke up one morning to very loud & abusive transmissions. I thought of it as assimilation, brainwashing, & also a possible earpiece that was put into my ear/s. A short time after, I noticed that there were white stains on my orange velvet couch, & realized that I was being human-trafficked. I tried to be protective of my personal belongings and body, but even when I would lock myself in my home completely, I would wake up to objects moved to another place in the room. I didn’t know this back then, since the digital billboards on freeways would only provide a picture of “Casper the Friendly Ghost,” but now I understand that they use some sort of tech to push and move objects, or possibly invisibility cloaking. It was also difficult to think, because the continuous and painful transmissions would limit my ability to do so, thus I would suffer sleep deprivation, trauma, isolation, and fear in my own room, not being able to process on how to solve this problem. Soon, I decided to walk in the city to try & find a women’s shelter, where I would have others surrounding me. But, I would be put instantly to sleep, or cognitively interrupted. One night after I was taken to a motel room, a cop car sat outside, & I fell asleep after. One morning after I accidentally fell asleep at the Beverly Hills Park, a policeman asked me a few questions & took me to the mental hospital. He wrote down things that I didn’t say, & I was diagnosed as a “schizophrenic.” In the hospital, the auditory noise transmit that they were the “CIA,” so I looked into voice tech in early 2021 after I was released, & found out about V2K and Remote Neural Monitoring. I was hit with directed energy weapons, which would feel like stings in my cerebellum, shocks in my brain/body, & burning sensations & signs on my face. I discovered that there were many other victims (and in-person, too, within healthcare) who had very similar experiences. I figured that this was some sort of MkUltra human experimentation, due to the many attempts of mind-control, sleep-deprivation, shocks, psychological warfare, & institutional correlation, in 2021. I took pictures of the stains on my couch, the lvls of RF through my TriField Meter, hacking, security cam clips, etc. but this content was robbed after I was released from another rehab center in 2023. I left the state of California & for a few months the country to find some relief, but the decreased intensity is only relatively short. I still get headaches, nausea, shocks, etc. remotely through this tech, & my items were robbed still. But this explained many occurrences during my upbringing, like my headaches & burning eyes at age 11, or hearing loud, mean comments now & then at 18, even when no one else was around. My algorithm gets manipulated, & this sort of targeting explained what was being suggested on my Pinterest / Insta at the age of 17 and 18. (They would comment or reply to my day / my thoughts through suggestions, & some of them were pertained towards children.) I felt mentally and physically exhausted at 18, so I took a yoga teaching course in 2019. Nevertheless, I couldn’t remember yoga sequences or think quite clearly. I would feel a sudden wave in my living room, which I blamed my ceiling fan on making me feel tired, & fall asleep immediately. My friends were aware that I was fearful & felt as if I was being watched or stalked at 18, because I would ask them to sleep over, though I couldn’t remember that I would tell them this until I was reminded by one of them this yr. Effects include remote control, electronic sexual assaults, and memory hindrance. I was recently scanned by MindNexus (Jesse Beltran) which results/data are the following: acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:US:70d19f90-1a30-4c40-803a-853576e616df acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:US:530774f6-25b9-405e-a9e4-ede857944ba5 I also recorded a video of the RF levels at the house that I grew up in, in March: youtube.com/shorts/xUubp3egJxw?si=foQMSjeldh1rI_z9 I try to raise awareness of this subject in particular on my Substack & Insta: arletrodriguez.substack.com @arletdiaries

I have unfortunately developed a hypersensitivity to EMF radiation from various sources. I can feel in pain the difference between high radiation and low radiation. I have on and off been able to use a cell phone and work. I have suffered loss of income and various medical issues as a result of this. I get headaches, chest pains, and fever with high radiation. I would like to see significantly more serious research into this issue and demand regulation of radiation levels on devices and in general areas of high cell phone use. Extra concerning is the use of cell phone towers on buildings in residential areas where there is a potential for 16 hour or even 24 hour exposure to a cancerogenic technology.

EMFs have dramatically impacted my mom, and by extension my whole family’s, life. She started feeling really ill when I was mid way through college. She shielded me from a lot of it, not wanting to burden me, but I could tell it was getting worse and worse. At one point she could barely walk from room to room in our home, as the physical symptoms were so severe. My parents tried everything. Shielding helped, but eventually she had to stay in a windowless shielded room 24/7, which is no way to live. We eventually heard about Green Bank, WV - a safe haven for people who are sick because of EMFs due to the 10 mile cell tower free zone. My parents visited twice and on the second visit, my mom stayed and never came home. My parents have lived there for 10 years now and she is thriving. She feels much better, has formed a community there, and isn’t confined to one dark room in a house. It’s sad that she’s had to miss things like my graduation and that she can’t visit me where I live, but I’m glad there’s at least one safe place in the country. EMFs affect everyone - some more than others. We need to listen to those who are impacted, learn more, and protect others before it’s too late.

My health is being affected by the daily EMF being used for weather modification. I get horrible headaches, dizziness, depression and it’s affecting my work. Are you going to stop it until more testing is done on people or are we the test subjects?
