An electro-hypersensitive physiotherapist describes a shielded practice and proposes neurosensory and bio…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
As a physiotherapist who is also electro-hypersensitive, I spent 25 years in private practice—15 of which were in a dedicated professional space I had built in my own garden. I shielded this space so that I could continue to practice my profession and treat individuals who, like me, were electro-hypersensitive and had become lost within the medical system. My neurosensory approach allows me to explain why we are all electrosensitive and why any of us could potentially become electro-hypersensitive. I practice the Dicke and Teirich-Leube reflex massage—which focuses on the skin’s connection to the nervous system—and I employ a holistic, behavioral approach to the body (utilizing the Mézières method and the GDS muscle chain system). To understand this, one must look to embryology: the skin and the nervous system share the same embryonic origin. Lacking any natural shielding, the skin is regularly subjected to hyperstimulation from the artificial electromagnetic fields (EMFs) generated by the wireless technologies and the pervasive electrical infrastructure now found throughout our living environments. The nervous system, under constant assault by these EMFs, becomes unable to maintain the body’s homeostasis. This leads to a breakdown, manifesting in a wide range of symptoms: headaches, dizziness, tinnitus, hyperacusis, neuromuscular and joint tension, skin issues, heart palpitations, anxiety, a sense of oppression, digestive and gynecological disturbances, neurodegenerative diseases, chronic illnesses, and cancer—as well as cognitive impairment, insomnia, exhaustion, and physiological depression. Any neurosensory cell can become a source of pain when subjected to persistent aggression. Certain cells are particularly sensitive to these constant vibrations—for instance, Pacinian corpuscles, which respond to frequencies between 30 and 1,500 Hertz. These waves cause surges within the body; the central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous systems are not designed to handle such frequencies. I invite you to explore my document on point26.com regarding bodily sensations and somesthesia: https://poem26.com/le-ressenti-du-corps-en-presence-des-ondes-electromagnetiques-artificielles/ This is a dossier I submitted to ANSES (the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety) when I joined—on behalf of my association, Poem26, of which I am president—the "Radiofrequency and Health" dialogue committee in Maisons-Alfort. It is also urgent to consider the differences between men and women regarding these artificial electromagnetic fields; our neurosensory system is more reactive than that of men. While men also possess this system, they tend to be less attuned to their own bodily sensations, yet the resulting symptoms can be far more severe and serious—such as heart attacks, strokes, colorectal cancer, or infertility. For women, it is crucial to examine the issue of endometriosis; our blood—as women—reacts very poorly to these artificial electromagnetic fields, which may be the root cause of gynecological problems such as amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, or endometriosis. I personally experienced significant issues with low frequencies: my ferritin levels rose to 900. In cases of electromagnetic hypersensitivity, one may observe a marked increase in ferritin levels—or, conversely, very low levels—depending on whether or not the individual has reached menopause. The only way to determine if you are electro-hypersensitive is to spend several days in an "electromagnetic dead zone" (an area free from such waves) and to monitor biological markers both before and after exposure to electromagnetic fields. Humans have been on Earth for hundreds of thousands of years; yet, in just 30 years, we have altered our electromagnetic environment through high-frequency (radio-frequency) fields, and over the last 200 years, we have transformed our electrical and magnetic environment through low-frequency fields. The human body cannot adapt to such changes in such a short period of time. I remain at your disposal for further discussion. Catherine Neyrand, October 18, 2026 Physical Therapist, Electrosensitive (EHS) President of the association Poem 26 (https://poem26.com/) Mother of a young adult who was severely electrosensitive (EHS) during her adolescence

Reports prolonged insomnia, palpitations, weight loss and later breast cancer after a smart-meter install…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
On March 23, 2024 my life changed forever. I don't think I will ever be the same. The electric company came to install a new smart meter. That night I experienced heart palpitations when I laid down. I did not sleep a wink the entire night. Every few seconds I would experience a jolt of EMF radiation that brought me to wakefulness. In fact, I did not sleep at all for 4 nights. After that I was able to sleep for 1 hour to 1.5 hours a night. This went on for at least 9 months. I experienced vertigo continually and especially when a cell phone was turned on. We turned off all radiating devices, and I felt a little better but not much. I was forced to purchase EMF protective clothing which helps a little but not enough. I attempted to have the electric company remove the smart meter but they refused. After several weeks, anxiety and depression set in. I have never in my life had any of these before. After about a month I started losing weight. I lost 1 pound a week in spite of the fact that I was eating twice as much food as previously. I lost a total of 26 pounds over 26 weeks. I had to eat 4 meals a day. If I ever got to the point where my stomach was empty, it felt like my body was digesting itself. I have been to numerous doctors, chiropractors, nutritionist, and body workers of all types. I have purchased devices to try to neutralize the EMF radiation. Some things helped a little and some not at all. About a year and a half later, I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and I am trying to recover from that. All together I have spent 100,000.00 to attempt to recover my health. I don't think I will ever be the same again.

An attorney discusses causation and preemption barriers in injury cases and proposes HHS research, hazard…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Thank you for this opportunity to comment. I'm an attorney and I'll get straight to the point. As you may know, in the US, personal‑injury suits against telecom companies for harm from RF/EMF radiation have a very low success rate, and there is no well‑established "winning" strategy. The two walls that defeat most of these cases are (1) proving medical causation — courts require you to show your specific illness was caused by the radiation, and the US scientific record has not met that bar — and (2) federal preemption under Section 704 of the 1996 Telecommunications Act, which bars local/state regulation of towers based on health risk and has been used to preempt state tort claims. Government action is long overdue. There is much the HHS can do to help electromagnetic radiation (EMR) victims in the United States. To wit: 1. Upgrade the NTP carcinogen classification (biggest single lever) The National Toxicology Program (part of HHS) already found in 2018 that RF radiation is "reasonably anticipated to be a carcinogen" — the weakest tier in the Report on Carcinogens, based on a 10-year, ~3,000-animal rat study. If HHS upgraded this to "known" human carcinogen, it would: Give plaintiffs a federally endorsed causal finding to cite at summary judgment, directly attacking the #1 barrier (causation) Support failure-to-warn claims: if the government classified the hazard, defendants can't argue they "didn't know" Be hard for courts to ignore — federal agency findings carry substantial evidentiary weight 2. Fund and publish definitive human epidemiology NIEHS (NIH) could run or commission a large prospective cohort study of RF exposure and specific health outcomes. A published HHS finding of a dose-response relationship would be the strongest possible causation evidence. The current NIEHS position — "the probability that EMF exposure is truly a health hazard is currently small" — is what defense lawyers cite to kill cases. 3. FDA: set lower performance standards + require warnings FDA has authority under 21 CFR Part 1030 over RF-emitting electronic products. It could: Lower MPE limits below current FCC levels (which are based on thermal effects only, not non-thermal) Require warning labels on devices — this is critical because it converts a failure-to-warn theory from speculative to straightforward Require premarket chronic-exposure safety testing for new wireless technologies 4. CDC/ATSDR: issue a formal health advisory A CDC advisory stating that RF-EMF exposure is associated with specific health conditions would create a recognized standard of care that defendants deviated from. It would also give plaintiffs' medical experts a federal source to cite when opining on causation. 5. NIOSH: set occupational exposure limits NIOSH could issue recommended exposure limits for workers near towers and in wireless-intensive jobs. While advisory (OSHA enforces), these limits create a benchmark for what "reasonable" exposure looks like, supporting negligence claims. 6. Medical education and clinical guidelines HHS could direct that: EMF exposure history be taken as part of standard medical intake Clinical guidelines be developed for evaluating patients with RF-sensitivity symptoms Medical school curricula include EMF health effects This helps plaintiffs document their injury in a way courts currently find unconvincing (many plaintiffs' symptoms are dismissed as not medically recognized). The irony to note: Setting specific federal exposure limits could backfire by strengthening the implied preemption defense (courts argue that where the FCC has set a standard, state tort claims are displaced). The sweet spot for HHS would be to issue findings of harm and hazard classification without creating a new, detailed regulatory scheme that defendants can point to as "the FCC already regulated this." Bottom line: The single highest-impact action is upgrading the NTP carcinogen classification combined with FDA-mandated warning labels. Together, they attack both causation and failure-to-warn simultaneously, and they're within HHS's existing statutory authority. I have further thoughts regarding actions the HHS could take and legal strategy. If you'd like to follow up and continue the coversation please email emrlegal@protonmail.com

Reports family symptoms around wireless devices, meters, schools and workplaces, describes denied telewor…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
2: My perspective:myself & family 3a-c: WIFI mouse – rash on hand appeared after ~1yr. Wouldn’t go away until I stopped using it for a week. Rash came back upon return to use. Returned to wired mouse & rash hasn’t returned. AMR smart electric meter (precursor to AMI): Power company advised it transmitted data ~ 1-1:30 a.m., coinciding with same time I had begun awakening suddenly every night. I had the meter removed and replaced with a non-transmitting meter and now sleep through night (WIFI, bluetooth, & cell phone off also.) AMI smart electric meter (pulses every few seconds): installed without parents’ knowledge, on same wall where Dad’s (w/pacemaker) bed was. He experienced sudden decline in health, inexplicable bloodwork; Dr later said was very likely due to AMI meter (once that coinciding installation was discovered & discussed.) AMI meter replaced with a non-Smart meter and his blood work and health improved. AMI meters are also invasion of privacy with the data collection. WIFI & bluetooth(home): over time & exposure, several symptoms became regular occurrence: nervous tension, unexplained anxiety, heart palpitations, irritability, agitation, short-temper, brain fog, headaches, restless sleep (myself & family–bulk of/worst of symptoms alleviated when began keeping WIFI & bluetooth off most of the time, especially at night.) Still have some low-level symptoms; neighbors’ WIFI still infiltrates the house. WIFI (schools): mid-way through my child’s schooling, WIFI boosters were installed in the ceilings in the middle of classrooms. My child began to complain of headaches and agitation, and harder to focus. Symptoms would go away during Summer months & return when back in school. One of the schools was in very close proximity to a cell tower. Anecdotally, several cases of childhood leukemia and teachers with cancer have arisen over the yrs. WIFI + cell boosters (office): Installed ~every 30 feet on ceilings starting ~2018 & expanding throughout whole building complex during 2020-2024 era. Symptoms began shortly after installation and close daily exposure-i.e. creepy crawly sensation on skin, especially scalp/brain, low level to escalating headache and other symptoms including those noted above for WIFI at home exposure. Effects felt within about an hour of being in office. For a time, an accommodation to telework was allowed, but when up for review, it was refused. Since ADA doesn’t explicitly acknowledge EMF/EMR sensitivity as meeting the ADA guidelines for disability, the new management doesn’t either. 5G masts (around office complex) installed ~2020-2024 era: Walks of respite outside to give body a break from inside WIFI is no longer possible with the 5G masts. Electric vehicles: Even short infrequent rides in a friend’s electric vehicle gives me creepy crawly sensations and nervous system irritation. 3 doctors concur with EMF/EMR exposure as being the cause of the symptoms experienced. 5: The FCC should be compelled to comply with an order issued by the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit in 2021 in the case Environmental Health Trust, et al. v. FCC (DC Cir 2021, No. 20-1025), ordering the FCC to address 11,000 pages of evidence on adverse impacts of wireless radiation before ANY legislation favorable to telecom and broadband expansion is even considered. I fear what will happen when towns lose all control over tower, small cell, and in/on-home placements. The focus on broadband deployment should be on safe, reliable fiber to homes, schools, and offices with ethernet connections, not unreliable, harmful wireless permeating the air. Americans with Disabilities Acct (ADA) - EMF/EMR sensitivity needs to be added as a protected class under the act. Guidance for those sensitive to EMF/EMR/wireless/bluetooth technologies needs to be unburied, acknowledged, updated, and disseminated to employers and those with public access buildings. Offices and public buildings should be inspected and remediated by building biologists certified in Electromagnetic and Electro Radio Frequencies, such as the Building Biology Institute. 13: The growing proliferation makes it an extremely difficult and dismal future for those who are sensitive or have pre-existing conditions. Those who are not yet, could easily become so with increased exposures and intensities. 15: Cancer/health issue clusters/declines & symptomologies known to be related to EMF’s in relation to human and animal health; local animal, bird, insect population declines, health of native flora & fauna vs invasive proliferations, increases in molds. No wireless infrastructures should be in/around any of these places. Wired should be the norm. I submit what Sayer Ji has put together as evidence: https://open.substack.com/pub/sayerji/p/secretary-kennedy-asked-for-the-evidence?r=2ri5rr&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

Describes electro-sensitivity and major daily limitations after electric-car exposure, cites broad health…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
We are really in a public health emergency with all of the wireless devices and waves of exposure all around us. These exposure levels are said to be thousands of times over what could be a possible safe level where the science tells us that there really aren’t any truly safe levels for this kind of radiation (microwave exposure). There are thousands of studies, many collected in the Bioinitiative Report BioInitiative Report: A Rationale for a Biologically-based Public Exposure Standard for Electromagnetic Fields (ELF and RF) that demonstrate clearly that these exposures, even at very low levels, have dangerous biological effects. There is even an important study known as the EU Reflex Study which demonstrates that wireless radiation damages cells and DNA on pare with nuclear or gamma radiation. Reflex Study Finds Genotoxic Effects 2004 In city life we are completely surrounded and penetrated by countless exposures from every direction. There is not only the danger that comes from one cellphone,which is enormous, but the cumulative exposures from our neighbors, those coming from satellites, cell towers, smart meters, Bluetooth speakers, multiple WiFi routers in schools with multiple cellphones and other devices. It is a non-stop bombardment which is the cause of extraordinary health damage including cancers, neurological disorders, dementia ( Dr Sharon Goldberg says even in teenagers now) cardiovascular disorders, brain damage, blood toxicity, and anxiety, among many other health problems. I became extremely sensitive to these wireless microwave radio frequency radiation exposures after buying and driving an electric car. After a two hour drive I had an intense neurological breakdown where I could no longer sense the periphery of my body nor could I remember or track my thoughts. It was quite like I was experiencing dementia with a feeling of squeezing across the top of my head as well as a feeling that my brain was vibrating. I healed over time by avoiding all wireless exposures as much as possible as well as consuming large doses of many supplements, but I remain an electro sensitive person whose body is intensely disturbed by surrounding wireless exposures. I used to have to drive out to the countryside to be able to breathe when my neighbor would have his Bluetooth on (as well as when the smart meter was installed on my home- so fortunate to have my smart meter in opt out mode now but there is still some “dirty electricity” it causes that affects my health). I am very fortunate to have a new neighbor who keeps his Bluetooth off for me. There are also places in my home where I can feel the smart meters shooting through my home. I can’t stand very long at my sink without getting pains in my body from this, can not sit at parts of my dining room table nor use one of my bedrooms ( as it is to close to my other neighbors who use Bluetooth etc). It is quite a challenging life for an electro sensitive person ( though we are all biological and are all being damaged from wireless, the electro sensitive can feel the damage as it is happening). It really limits where I can go and how long I can stay in any given place. I could definitely not work in an office or school or even attend a dinner with people with their cellphones on etc. There are millions of people like me who have become electro sensitive all over the world. Many have been displaced from their homes because of cell towers or smart meters and other wireless nightmares. Many can no longer work in their jobs for which they have trained. Some have had to seek refuge in the forest or rural settings, though now with the proliferation of satellites and almost ubiquitous wireless coverage it is becoming more difficult to find a safe place to live. There are also dangers to our atmosphere, other living beings of nature( bees, birds, trees, etc, and the planet which we must be arrested immediately. This wireless proliferation should have been stoped a long time ago as the science has been available for decades. There is an important article from The Lancet - Planetary Electromagnetic Pollution: is it time to assess its impact? This is a critical situation, a real emergency, to preserve the health of people and planet. It requires immediate, sober and creative action. It is critically important that we primarily wire for communications and eliminate the waves passing through/damaging bodies. Cell phones as they exist now can be used in airplane mode with Bluetooth, cellular, and WiFi off, with an Ethernet adapter to access internet etc. There could be stations available at home, workplaces, around town, etc where one could plug in one’s phones or computers for connection. Utility meters and other tech could also be wired, avoiding the extremely damaging bodily trespass of microwave radiation.

Cites historical RF research to request health advisories and device labels, criticizes tower density and…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
The US has known for at least since 1971 about the bioeffects of RF wireless radiation exposures from the Naval Medical Research Institute Study titled, “Bibliography of Reported Biological Phenomena and Clinical Manifestations Attributed to Microwave and Radio-Frequency Radiation.” The study listed pages of symptoms resulting from RF exposures that were compiled from over 2,000 global citations on non-ionizing electromagnetic fields proving non-thermal injuries are a common side effect. Many independent studies have been done since then with similar results. There is nothing new under the sun to continue the wait to decide if RF radiation exposures can be harmful. Issue a surgeon general letter warning about RF radiation exposures being a possible carcinogen or harmful to your health with overuse or improper use of any digital device, especially with digital screen time and how it can damage your eyesight. Require labeling to display a similar message on these digital devices just like cigarettes and nicotine. Technology can be beneficial, if it is built, used and taught to be used in a safe and responsible manner. However, overdensification of neighborhoods with 175’ cell towers for Internet of Things, no wired alternative to smart meters and turning vehicles into mobile base stations is going in the wrong direction, consumes too much energy, generates too much electropollution, and makes healthy people chronically ill and/or disabled unnecessarily.

Researchers summarize occupational and military cancer findings, recommend recognizing RF as a human carc…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Carcinogenicity of radio-frequency radiation in the occupational and military setting Prepared jointly by: Elihu Richter, ORCID 0000-0003-3218-7765 Michael Peleg, ORCID 0000-0002-7520-8741 peleg.michael@gmail.com A slightly longer and better formated version is attached as a PDF file. We took part in research reported in the papers in the reference list below. The research provides a strong indication of carcinogenicity of Radio-Frequency Radiation (RFR). The research subjects: Groups of young cancer patients previously exposed to RFR in the military and occupational setting. The exposure: The exposure was from radio communication transmitters, from radar and from electronic warfare. The exposure was repetitive, typically over a year or more. The Israeli Defense Forces exposure levels are guided by the occupational standards set by ICNIRP which allow average power higher by a factor of 5 relative to the ICNIRP recommendations for the general population. Importantly, those standards almost do not limit the peak power of radar pulses provided the average power is within the limits. Power concentrated in strong pulses may be more bioactive as explained in the references. Research methods: The primary information was from the patients; most of them were trained operators, technicians and engineers. For small subgroups of patients, we knew the size of the whole exposed population and thus we were able to estimate cancer Risk Ratios (RR) relative to the general population. For most of the patients the size of the exposed population was not available. Therefore we examined also cancer characteristics since cancer characteristics which are very different from those of cancer patients from the general population indicate an additional carcinogen. We examined Percentage Frequencies (PF) of cancer types and proportion of cancer patients suffering from multiple primaries. The main results: The RRs for cancer in the small subgroups were very high, e.g. 8, and statistically significant. The PF of hematolymphoid cancers was about twice the value in the general population and statistically significant. The two results above are consistent with research results of other research groups in different countries, see table 7 and figure 4 in reference (4) and section 3.4 in reference (3). Proportion of patients suffering multiple primaries as reported in reference (3) was higher by a factor of 4.5 than the value expected in the general population. This indicates a potent carcinogen. Such a dramatic rise in multiple primaries was not observed in our next work (4). The latencies in (4) may not have been long enough to develop multiple primaries. Our recommendations: Radio Frequency Radiation (RFR) should be recognized as a human carcinogen. Limit human exposure to low levels, for example 1μW/cm2 average level and 5μW/cm2 peak pulse level. The suggested level is in the range of known community levels. In the military and the occupational settings, reduce exposures to the lowest possible level, striving to the specifications above. Use Faraday barriers to reduce exposures at the source and personal level and any other means required. Document individual exposures and provide this information to all highly exposed humans. Provide the exposed humans with long-term periodical medical surveillance for cancer and for other health effects. Perform epidemiological cancer research on all known personnel exposed to significant levels of RFR. Please see the detailed recommendation section in reference (4).

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I submit this comment requesting independent scientific investigation, transparent environmental monitoring, and stronger public accountability regarding electromagnetic field (EMF), WIFI, and ELF exposure and its potential effects on human health, cellular function, neurological development, and future generations. The expansion of telecommunications and electrical infrastructure raises legitimate public-health and bioethical questions. Wireless RF radiation and extremely low-frequency (ELF) fields, including 60 Hz power transmission, have distinct physical characteristics and must be evaluated separately, including their potential cumulative and long-term effects. Located on schools, churches and parks. Children are stakeholders, not merely passive recipients of technological development. Their developing nervous systems, cellular processes, and longer potential lifetime exposures warrant specific scientific attention. Pregnancy, fetal development, infancy, and childhood represent critical periods during which environmental influences may have lasting consequences. Human health depends upon cellular homeostasis, mitochondrial bioenergetics, ATP production, DNA integrity, and coordinated neurological signaling. Disruption of these processes can contribute to disease and impaired development. Whether particular environmental EMF exposures adversely affect these mechanisms, and under what conditions, requires rigorous investigation rather than unsupported assumptions of either harm or safety. HHS should prioritize research examining oxidative stress, mitochondrial signaling, membrane potential, cellular repair, neurodevelopment, reproductive outcomes, and potential intergenerational effects. Studies must distinguish correlation from causation and evaluate exposure intensity, frequency, duration, developmental stage, and individual susceptibility. Existing epidemiological research has identified associations between certain residential ELF magnetic-field exposures and childhood leukemia, although a causal relationship remains unestablished. Such findings demonstrate the importance of continued investigation rather than premature dismissal of unresolved questions. The ethical question extends beyond whether an exposure meets current regulatory limits. It concerns whether those limits adequately account for developing biological systems, prolonged exposure, combined environmental conditions, and populations not sufficiently represented in existing research. Under principles of environmental justice, nonmaleficence, transparency, and intergenerational equity, the public deserves meaningful access to scientific findings and environmental exposure information. The burden of investigating potential public-health risks should not fall exclusively upon families who lack the resources to commission environmental testing or independent scientific evaluations. Communities should have access to infrastructure information, standardized exposure measurements, monitoring results, and understandable explanations of applicable safety standards. Public participation must be meaningful, particularly where infrastructure affects residential neighborhoods, schools, and vulnerable populations. I request that HHS: Support independent longitudinal studies evaluating RF, EMF and ELF exposures, particularly during pregnancy, infancy, and childhood. Investigate cellular and neurological mechanisms, including mitochondrial function, ATP metabolism, oxidative regulation, and neurodevelopment, using reproducible methods. Evaluate cumulative and chronic exposure patterns while distinguishing established effects from emerging hypotheses. Assess potential ecological consequences for wildlife, pollinators, vegetation, and interconnected environmental systems. Establish transparent public reporting of exposure measurements, research limitations, funding sources, and regulatory assumptions. Examine disproportionate environmental burdens and ensure meaningful stakeholder participation in research and policy development. Coordinate with the FCC, EPA, and relevant agencies to address scientific gaps and clarify oversight responsibilities. The absence of conclusive evidence of harm is not equivalent to conclusive evidence of safety under every exposure condition. Scientific uncertainty requires investigation, not speculation or complacency. Technological advancement carries corresponding responsibilities. Public-health protection should not depend upon proving widespread injury after exposure has occurred. Children, families, communities, ecosystems, and future generations are stakeholders in decisions affecting shared environments. Our responsibility is not simply to accommodate technological progress, but to ensure that progress does not compromise the biological integrity, developmental potential, and environmental inheritance of generations yet to come. Respectfully, Cherrish Castaneda Roots Indigenous Priory Sacramento County, California

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I attest and affirm under penalty of perjury that the following statements are true, accurate, and within my personal knowledge and understanding. I reside in Alachua County, Florida. I have a Bachelor of Science in Engineering and a Master of Engineering. I have worked in industry at Geneal Electric and in research at the University. I am a Professional Engineer licensed in the state of Florida I am a Building Biology Institute certified Electromagnetic Radiation Specialist. I have always stood for the truth and the right to informed consent in all matters and hold to high ethical standards. I did not consent, nor do I consent today, to the continuous and involuntary exposures to pulsed modulated, biologically active electrical and radiofrequency / microwave (RF/MW) radiation. I previously led a normal, productive life until I was injured and harmed by the electrical and pulsed modulated RF/MW radiation from cell towers, cell phones, Wi-Fi routers, and radios which all utilize pulsed modulated RF/MW radiation for communications. The agent of harm was the RF/MW radiation, I now have Electromagnetic Radiation Syndrome, also known as Radiofrequency Sickness. I developed a rare aggressive cancer, severe intestinal damage and malnutrition, severe pain and pressure in my head, imbalance and coordination issues, resulting in many broken bones and bruises. ` I developed bouts of sudden onset eye pain, short term memory and concentration problems I developed irregular heartbeats when driving near proximity to cell towers. I had to adjust my driving routes to avoid the harmful exposures. I was unable to work as I dealt with my illness and symptoms. I had to navigate as best I could to pinpoint that my health decline was caused by the harmful RF/MW radiation exposures and then how to regain my health and wellbeing. I began to analyze and connect the dots of symptoms and exposures harming me. I started to question the medical providers regarding the RF/MW radiation when I reported my correlations of exposure and symptoms. The medical professionals were dismissive, which was extremely frustrating for me. I found the Building Biology Institute and that was instrumental to put me on the path to measuring and analyzing my environment and then taking actions to remove all known exposures within my control. Also, I now avoid and reduce as much as possible what is out of my control which includes cell towers and others homes with Wi-Fi and other devices, stores and medical facilities with high exposures, routes with high tension power lines. My commitment to take actions to survive came with great expense and inconvenience. Even though I removed and avoided all exposures within my control to allow my body to recover, I still must avoid RF/MW radiation devices and infrastructure or I experience severe pain and pressure in my head, gastrointestinal issues, irregular heartbeat, eye pain, and much impaired functioning. When I am required to go to places with high pulsed modulated RF/MW radiation I always have symptoms return which require long periods of time in isolation so I can recover. I must have a home, a place that I have control over to maintain my health and well being and not be forced to accept increasing high pulsed modulated RF/MW radiation from cell towers, satellites, “smart” utility meters with that infrastructure. I will never be able to go to places and participate in “normal” events and activities because of the pulsed modulated RF/MW radiation that is outside of my control. My requests to Health and Human Services: Electromagnetic Radiation Syndrome is caused by the harmful biological effects from pulsed modulated RF/MW radiation and this should be recognized and respected and action taken. Require the necessary training to medical professional to recognize and diagnose Electromagnetic Radiation Syndrome. Many citizens have ill health and may have undiagnosed biological effects from RF/MW radiation exposures. Make recommendations to the public to use technology “safely”, to educate and allow for informed consent. Require the industry to make changes to reduce the negative biological effects from infrastructure and devices. Combinations of exposures, power density and pulsed modulation including durations of exposure, from different infrastructures and devices must all be considered during evaluations and analysis. Utilities must be required to provide analog meters to anyone who chooses one. Copper landlines must be provided to anyone who chooses one. I request that you will maintain high regard for human health regarding the toxic environmental exposures from pulsed modulated RF/MF radiation so that we can Make America Health Again. I have attached files of research for your review. Thank you for your kind and caring attention to my facts that I have presented Signed this 21st day of October 2026,
