ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I lived near where there is a 5g antena, was detected cancer in the head and neck area. , I would get headaches and couldn’t sleep. Thank God I have little over 4 years clear after my last radiation of 33. They can’t explain why I got it or they don’t want to say. I have heard of others that love near those 5g antenas that have also gotten sick

Reports diagnosed electromagnetic hypersensitivity, housebound living and wired technology use, questions…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I was diagnosed with electromagnetic Hypersensitivity about seven years ago. My symptoms were itching. Dry eye. Headaches. Brain fog. I was unable to ride in cars Due to their Dirty energy And exposure to. Wi Fi capabilities. My house Now uses. Incandescent lighting. No wireless capabilities. I use Ethernet to connect to my computer.. People are not allowed to use Their cell phones in the home. I had to give up driving. And all social activities outside the home. Currently I go to. A grocery store once a week for about 15 minutes. I am primarily housebound and have had to give up all. Social activities. The FCC is using. Research. That took place in the 1990s. And has been. Corrupted by. Technology companies. I appreciate your looking into this significant problem. As I have had several friends who have had tumors operated on. I currently have a tumor on my. Adrenal gland. It appears to be benign. If you look at the. Research By the government, that costs $25 million years ago. You can see The peer reviewed results. That was done on mice and rats. Thank you. Sincerely. SHARON. MCWETHY.

An attorney describes learning about reported biological effects through environmental advocacy, work on …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I remember my first cell phone. My parents bought it for me when I was in fifth grade. It was a pink Razr Motorola flip phone. Little did I know at the time that a few years later, I would start working for an environmental health non-profit organization on Long Island where I’d learn about the seriously disturbing health effects linked to wireless radiation exposure emitted by devices like cell phones, WiFi routers, and even those big cell towers that we see on highways and near homes across America. On the first day of my internship with the non-profit, the organization’s Executive Director sat me down at the office dining room table and dropped a couple of three-inch binders, each overflowing with paper, right in front of me. The table shook due to the weight of the binders. She told me that every piece of paper in each binder was just a sliver of the scientific literature about the biological effects of wireless radiation exposure. DNA damage. Sperm damage. Oxidative stress. Cancer. The list of terribles went on. My eyes widened. I had been, and continue to be, a health-conscious person. I want a healthy family, and I want to live a long, happy life. It greatly angered me to realize to realize that I had handled wireless devices in a potentially unsafe way -- especially during some of my most important developmental years -- because I just didn’t know better. Before that day in the office, nobody had ever told me that wireless radiation is a health hazard. Where would I have learned such information? From the non-existent warning label on my cell phone? From health class? From the FCC -- a revolving door for telecom lobbyists and former industry insiders? From the media outlets that get their advertising money from Verizon and AT&T and T-Mobile? After years of working in the non-profit sector and learning as much as I could as quickly as I could about the wireless telecommunications industry and the scientifically documented adverse biological impacts of RF radiation, I became a staunch advocate for the responsible and thoughtful placement of wireless telecommunications infrastructure. But that wasn’t enough. I couldn’t just be an advocate. I needed a law degree. So, I went to law school so I could teach municipalities about the powers they have to enact wireless telecommunications ordinances that prioritize public safety and smart infrastructure siting. And I still enthusiastically do that work today with my brilliant father who has practiced law for over 43 years. I am genuinely encouraged that HHS has issued this RFI. I hope this marks the beginning of a fundamental shift in how our federal government addresses the health and environmental implications of wireless radiation. The FCC has had ample time to act, and its record speaks for itself. Clearly, it cannot do its job. HHS must now take a leading role in investigating the health effects of wireless radiation and ensure that public health drives federal policy. This is HHS’s big moment to be on the right side of science and history. Please seize it. Thank you for your consideration of my comments.

Reports headaches, insomnia and cognitive symptoms resolving after home Wi-Fi removal, argues for a micro…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
1. & 2. I am responding as: an individual 3a. Type of wireless or RF/EMF sources involved (e.g., mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters…)WiFi 3b. Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years):WiFi in house for 2 years 3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced:Headaches, Insomnia, Restlessness, Brain Fog, Dizziness 3d. Time from first exposure to first appearance of adverse health effects; and did a change in exposure coincide with the onset of adverse effects:The adverse health effects were minor at first and I wasn't sure of the cause. But the symptoms worsened over time until when day the WiFi broke and we were without it for many days, and I realised I felt better not having it around me and I slept better. That is when I got informed about WiFi and microwave radiation and had an EMF survey done in my home. 3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis?Treatments were sought, but the best move was getting rid of the WiFi in my immediate environment. 3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects?Yes, as stated above in 3d. Once WiFi was removed, my symptoms went away. 3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information:Yes, I had two EMF studies done of my home. One before and one after mitigation. Additional Details you would like to share about your experiences of adverse health effects you believe to be associated with exposure to wireless radiation or EMF's:If you don't believe that microwave radiation is harmful, despite many studies (incl long-term) that have proved it, just look at the statistics for Brain Glioma cancer. A Glioma is ONLY caused by one thing: microwave radiation. Prior to 1996, before people brought microwaves into their homes and open air, brain Gliomas represented 0% of the population. Now, there are millions of people with Glioma cancers (studies vary). It's obvious that the rise in this type of cancer is specifically due to the rise in microwave radiation exposure. B1a. Sources you experience as causing you Adverse Effects:Microwave radiation, Bluetooth, Solar Panels B1b. Sources you can sense, but don't seem to harm you:I can use a wireless device for a short time and not necessarily feel hurt immediately; it seems to be more of a cumulative effect. B1c. Sources you can use without sensing or being harmed: B1d. Sources that seem to provide benefit (i.e., electrotherapy):FIR B2a. Health conditions you think may contribute to your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless:Neuroborreliosis, Thyroid disease B2b. Health conditions you don't necessarily associate with your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless, but might be relevant: B3. For each subquestion please list up to 5 drugs or therapies or home remedies (if any) B3a. That you recommend, as they helped you tolerate or recover from EMF exposure:Regular internal cleanses, hydration, increase oxygenation (exercise) and breathwork, good nutrition/wholesome foods, meditation, regulating minerals, disconnecting or blocking sources of radiation in home, being out in nature. B3b. That you recommend, but you’re not positive that they help:I am positive all my recommendations help. B3c. That helped you but you don’t recommend. (e.g., the benefit did not last long or the side effects were too harmful):n/a B3d. Treatments that had no effect:n/a B3e. Treatments that made your sensitivity worse:55-64 B4. What is your age range?55-64 B5. What year did you become aware of your sensitivity to wireless radiation or electromagnetic fields?2014 B6. What country, state, province, or major city were you living in when you first noticed your sensitivity to wireless or electromagnetic fields?United Kingdom

Raises concerns about cancer near towers and possible behavioral effects of classroom wireless access poi…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Wireless radiation is a major concern especially for children. People I personally know that live right next to a cell tower have had issues with cancer. In schools, many classrooms have at least one wireless access point. It is very possible this is causing behavior problems. Sitting right under a box emitting radiation is certainly not a good idea especially for little bodies. 5G cell towers are being forced upon us. Even if we forgo wifi at home, we are still exposed to the ever growing cell towers. They are becoming more powerful and there are more of them. There needs to be serious reform on wireless radiation. This is our generation's carcinogenic problem.

Reports family cancers, dementia, personal fatigue and a dog's epilepsy near increasing antenna installat…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Thank you very much for this initiative! Here is my story. I live in a house in Edegem (Antwerp area), Flanders, Belgium, and since more than 20 years there are mobile phone antennas on appartment buildings at approximately 150 meters from my house. The amount of antennas is constantly increasing (as can be observed visually and is also stated in their legal documents), new constructions are being put for extra antennas and the amount of radiation is increasing as well, year by year (I have regularly verified this with measurements). There is 2G, 3G, 4G and now also 5G present. At some places in my house the amount of radiation reaches over 2,000 μW/m2 and in my garden it reaches 10,000 μW/m2. This is below the Flemish/Belgian 'safety norm', but far too high according to independent scientists and building biologists. Since the antennas have been put there, the following health problems have appeared in my family: one person got dementia (already deceased now), one person got womb cancer, which came back 2 times, and she had to undergo severe operations, one person got pancreas cancer at a terminal stage (about to die now), I feel often tired and depressed and our dog got severe epilepsy attacks (already deceased now) at a frequency and intensity that the vets hadn't seen anywhere before. We do not have any family history of these deseases, all other family members living in different places are quite healthy. Moving away is not an option for us, unfortunately. There are also other cases of cancer and young dementia present in the nearby area. All this makes us believe that there is an almost certain link with the mobile phone antennas. I have done effort and will continue trying to convince local and federal politicians to reconsider the safety standards, so that neither we nor anyone else goes through this. I hope this information is useful to you, so that public health can be protected from these dangerous technologies.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18512243/ "A new electromagnetic exposure metric: high frequency voltage transients associated with increased cancer incidence in teachers in a California school" "Abstract Background: In 2003 the teachers at La Quinta, California middle school complained that they had more cancers than would be expected. A consultant for the school district denied that there was a problem. Objectives: To investigate the cancer incidence in the teachers, and its cause. Method: We conducted a retrospective study of cancer incidence in the teachers' cohort in relationship to the school's electrical environment. Results: Sixteen school teachers in a cohort of 137 teachers hired in 1988 through 2005 were diagnosed with 18 cancers. The observed to expected (O/E) risk ratio for all cancers was 2.78 (P = 0.000098), while the O/E risk ratio for malignant melanoma was 9.8 (P = 0.0008). Thyroid cancer had a risk ratio of 13.3 (P = 0.0098), and uterine cancer had a risk ratio of 9.2 (P = 0.019). Sixty Hertz magnetic fields showed no association with cancer incidence. A new exposure metric, high frequency voltage transients, did show a positive correlation to cancer incidence. A cohort cancer incidence analysis of the teacher population showed a positive trend (P = 7.1 x 10(-10)) of increasing cancer risk with increasing cumulative exposure to high frequency voltage transients on the classroom's electrical wiring measured with a Graham/Stetzer (G/S) meter. The attributable risk of cancer associated with this exposure was 64%. A single year of employment at this school increased a teacher's cancer risk by 21%. Conclusion: The cancer incidence in the teachers at this school is unusually high and is strongly associated with high frequency voltage transients, which may be a universal carcinogen, similar to ionizing radiation."
