Cancer & tumors

Anybody who's been around the block understands that EMS are not healthy. ADD, OCD, OTHER PSYCHOLOGICAL AND MENTAL CONDITIONS AS WELL AS CANCER HAVE ALL INCREASED DRAMATICALLY SINCE WE STARTED EMITTING ANY KIND OF WAVES INTO THE ATMOSPHERE. AND THE STRONGER THE WORST. AT A MINIMUM KEEP CELL PHONE TOWERS AWAY FROM SCHOOLS AND HIGHLY POPULATED AREAS PLEASE!

This topic on EMF's RF radiation and ELF's is bigger than what most people know or think. The human body is run by electrical frequencies and that is how the over 36 trillion cells within our body communicate with one another. If that communication is interfered with by frequencies, then the body is compromised in so many fashions that it is how to calculate the damage that is being done to it. As an example, if you are driving your car and you have your AM radio on, and then pass under high tension power lines, you notice that the program you are listening to stops because of great interference from going under the power lines. That same effect happens to our human body every time we are exposed to external frequencies from various sources. Our human cells during that exposure stop communicating with one another and the body is greatly compromised during this exposed time. Our human systems stop functioning to a great degree. Our immune system is not protecting us as it was designed to do. It's been reported that people who have homes with high powered wires over them have had many illnesses including cancer. When our cells cannot communicate with one another, this becomes a cascading effect that ultimately results in disease formation and debilitating breakdowns in the proper function of the human body. If this is not corrected soon, all society will be at risk of functional breakdowns that will results in a non functional and a non productive society at large. I recommend that the placement of all these frequencies be reconsidered and placed in low risk areas and farmed into population centers considering the lowest possible exposure to the public at large. The technology and innovation is there to mitigate the risk to all. We just have to have the will to implement it.

I am a Family Physician practicing and licensed in Illinois with 38 years of experience. Personally, I notice that if my wifi router is on, I do not sleep as well so I have to turn it off at night. Since a smart meter was installed at our home I also notice my sleep has been worse. We were never notified when the smart meter was installed nor given the option to opt out. I have treated many patients who are sensitive to EMFs and cannot be around them which leads them to lead very isolating lives. I've seen the studies that show EMFs cause an influx of calcium into cells thus depleting ATP stores. I've seen the studies showing that cell phones placed near the skull/ear increase the temperature and glucose uptake of brain cells all the way to the center of the brain, thus making them look like cancer cells. I've seen and heard neurosurgeons who report more acoustic neuromas and other brain tumors on the side where cell phones are used. Please investigate the health effects of EMFs, Wifi, Cell towers and cell phones so we can come up with safety guidelines that are reasonable. Please be aware that powerful industrial lobbyists will try to influence and subvert real scientific debate and research on these issues. The health and well being of this generation and the next few depends on what you can do to help safe guard our health from any harms imposed by EMFs.

We need to clamp down on the EMR created by private companies for their profit and not with our safety in mind. This includes involuntary exposures like smart meters, dirty electricity, and any involuntary appliance or transmitter that generates EMR. These signals are causing illnesses that cannot be proven scientifically because no one looks for or documents 'problems' when revenue loss could happen if they find them. Please tell me why we are so inundated with cell towers and transmitters regardless of whether or not we need better signals or want them. From my home I have direct views of a huge cell tower, why is it necessary to add extra transmitters to towers and on our light poles. I bought a tester and everywhere in my home it reads 'extreme' and blinks with no wireless phones installed and the router turned off. I cannot escape extreme signals. And I do not know how to protect my grandson, daughter and myself from these signals. We should be able to turn off the signals so we can sleep in peace and rest our bodies. We have no choice in the matter. There is no recourse other than moving and who can afford that, and even then, it is hard to find a safer location. There needs to be limits that are safe. There needs to be studies done to set safe limits by an unbiased group who is not 'bought' by these private companies. You wonder why cancer is exploding. This is just one of the problems that needs fixing. So, fix it. Give proper guidelines and limits based on these unbiased studies to the companies and let them figure out how to accomplish their goals without hurting citizens. WE NEED TO REDUCE CURRENT EXPOSURE BEFORE IMPLEMENTING ANY NEW TECHNOLOGY AND AT THE COMPANIES EXPENSE. TAXPAYERS CAN'T TAKE ANY MORE INCREASES FOR COMPANY PROFITS.

Manmade electromagnetic radiation exposure has radically altered the trajectory of my life. In the early 2010s, I achieved my dream career of a firefighter-paramedic. Paradoxically, my health began to suffer. This seemed strange to me as I was young, healthy, and eating an extremely healthy paleo diet and working out daily. But brain fog, skin rashes, eye fatigue, ringing in my ears and aches/pains became the new norm for me. Firefighting can be a high-stress job, but that alone didn't account for my symptoms. Doctors had no answers for me. My performance on the job, and as a husband and father back home, began to suffer. Eventually, I saw the writing on the wall and left that career that had been acquired at such a dear cost. It was a heartbreaking decision but I thought it the best thing for me and my family long-term. Unexpectedly, my symptoms began to improve with no interventions besides leaving the firefighting lifestyle behind. This was the dawn of the podcast era, and on health-focused podcasts, I began to hear a bit about "EMF" both natural and artificial, and the research on their impacts on human health. Several things began to click for me as I researched the topic further. #1 The firefighting world exposed me to a variety of very powerful manmade EMF sources, primarily radio frequency, or "wireless" communications of walkie-talkies, cell phones, pagers, and supporing equipment within the forestation. #2 The firefighting world, by frequently keeping me up during the night, was disrupting my circadian rhythm, and reducing my ability to rest and recover. Armed with this new understanding of the world, I recovered quickly, and took steps within my home to protect my family from EMF. Not long after, my mother was diagnosed with a glioblastoma multiforme, an aggressive form of brain cancer. She passed within 8-months. It was an incredibly difficult few years around her passing. However, in thinking about how she used technology, I saw a link to her cancer. For example, she was incredibly social, and had many friends. As a result she used her cell phone multiple hours every day. Her tumor was on the same side of her head that she held her phone up to. As the dust settled around her passing, I realized there was a significant lack of awareness in the world about EMF exposure. I felt compelled to do something about it, so that others might avoid the pain I had experienced in losing a treasured career, and loved one. I discovered people were doing this work in the world, through the Building Biology Institute. I signed up for their training and In just a few short years, I had become certified and began working with clients to uncover the EMF exposures in their homes, coaching them through practical remediations to reduce their exposures. My work as a Building Biologist is incredibly rewarding. It is also an uphill battle as slick marketing, tech creep, and biased research dilute the links between human made EMF and health. Technology does wonderful things for us, but not without a biological cost. The public needs to be made aware of this, so that they can make informed choices on their exposures to EMF. Here are several ways the government could help accelerate this change: #1 Stop the revolving door between Big Wireless and regulation bodies like the FCC. #2 The FCC must update their 1996 exposure guidelines without industry influence. Greater exposure protection for sensitive populations like children and pregnant mothers should the minimum outcome. #3 The precautionary principle should be the starting point for technologies that use electromagnetic forces to function. Industry must provide a reasonable degree of safety and assurance prior to rolling out new products.

I am submitting this comment because the United States needs to stop confusing regulatory compliance with proof of biological safety. A wireless device can “pass” an RF exposure test under specified laboratory conditions and still leave unanswered the real public-health question: what happens to living tissue after years or decades of real-world exposure? Real life does not resemble a single-device laboratory test. Children, adults and pets are surrounded by phones, Wi-Fi routers, tablets, laptops, Bluetooth devices, wearables, smart appliances and nearby antennas, often operating simultaneously and for many hours every day. Current standards do not adequately reflect chronic, cumulative, real-world exposure. Exposure changes with distance, signal strength, device position, frequency, modulation, data transmission and the number of sources present. Yet our regulatory framework has relied heavily on specific absorption rate and power-density limits rather than long-term biological monitoring of actual populations. The question should not simply be, “Does this device stay below a SAR limit?” It should be, “What happens biologically to cells, tissues, organs and developing nervous systems under realistic exposure conditions?” HHS should independently investigate oxidative stress, cellular signaling, DNA damage, reproductive effects, neurological effects, sleep, development, endocrine effects and cancer. Absence of substantial heating should never be treated as automatic proof that there are no biological effects. Children deserve special attention. They are not small adults. Their bodies and nervous systems are still developing, and today’s children may experience wireless exposure from infancy through an entire lifetime. Yet the long-term evidence for lifelong exposure beginning in childhood remains limited. That is a serious knowledge gap, not reassurance. Animals and the environment also deserve attention. Pets spend long periods inside homes near routers and wireless devices. Wildlife, insects, birds and plants are now exposed to an increasingly dense RF environment. The evidence is incomplete and sometimes inconsistent, but that is precisely why rigorous independent research is needed. The National Toxicology Program reported cancer findings in RF-exposed animals, including malignant heart schwannomas in male rats and some evidence of malignant gliomas. Human studies have produced mixed results. These differences should not be used to declare the issue settled in either direction. “Not conclusively proven harmful” is not the same thing as “proven safe.” The regulatory process itself also deserves scrutiny. In 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit found that the FCC had not adequately explained why its RF exposure limits protected against harmful non-cancer effects and had not sufficiently addressed evidence involving long-term exposure, children and environmental effects. A communications regulator should not be the final authority on complex questions of toxicology, developmental biology, neurology and public health. Other countries have taken more precautionary approaches. Switzerland applies lower precautionary limits at certain sensitive locations, and France conducts post-market SAR testing of phones. The United States should not assume that decades-old limits remain adequate simply because they are familiar. HHS should establish a truly independent research program with transparent funding and strict conflict-of-interest protections. Research should examine chronic and cumulative exposure, multiple simultaneous sources, direct body contact, pregnancy, children, pets, vulnerable populations, modern 4G/5G/Wi-Fi technologies, and biological outcomes at the cellular, tissue, organ and whole-body levels. Public confidence cannot rest on assurances from agencies or industries. It must rest on independent science, transparent data, reproducible findings and standards that reflect how people actually live. A compliance test is not a safety study. HHS has an opportunity to replace assumptions with modern, real-world health research and to protect children, families, animals and the environment using evidence that reflects actual exposure.

In 2017 I was diagnosed with a brain tumor called a meningioma brain tumor. These are brain tumors that are known to be caused from exposure to x-rays, and that type of magnetic energy field. Leading up to the diagnosis of my brain tumor my family and I moved into a new home and I began to experience excruciating migraines. I was hospitalized sometimes for days with a diagnosis of clustered migraines. In addition to moving, we purchased some property behind us and brought my horses home to live with us after they had been living at a boarding facility for years. That winter, my horses refused to drink from their water troughs due to electric shock. After several troubleshooting methods and contacting different electricians, we were told that we had “Dirty Electric electricity on our property “we contacted Ameren who admitted that the issue was from the electrical poles in the backyard, emitting electricity. This began a five year ordeal. Eventually, we sold the home and moved, and I have recovered to the most possible. Although we tried to sue and were told that we had a very strong Case from different attorneys we were also told that they would refuse to take the case because Ameren UE was such a large company that they would bankrupt the firm before we could ever settle. After building my new home Ameren ue came back and installed a meter on my new barn. This is not the America that we used to know. We now live in an America where big corporations can do anything they want to you with no recourse. This is my story, but it’s not the whole story. Every single Neighbor, experienced cancer, MS, lupus, childhood cancer, and some form of a very serious illness. What a much better America we would have if we could just have some regulations. I have tons of pictures of Ameren Yui coming to my farm and digging up my property and trying to install a grid system to take the dirty electricity out of the air and into the ground. To this day, I still do not have any kind of apology or am I has never tried to financially make their wrong right. Thank you for fighting the good fight.

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 very concerned member of the public. I have concerns about wireless radiation for our home and our extended family. I have been on a detox journey of health for 9 years, having experienced cancer personally and being a caregiver for parents as well. Wireless radiation does impact our health and we know so little about the long term impact. Our current physical world and food and environment have all become toxic so that we generally accept disease as "normal" - but it doesn't have to be this way. As we have worked at detoxing our bodies, we limit the time on our phones, store them in another room so that we can have deeper sleep. It is noticeable when we don't - brain fog, for one. I believe this topic of wireless radiation needs to be independently assessed with the perspective of maximizing the health of our population, not to harm. If the agenda is anything else, we will be treated as consumers of whatever products that are designed to manage our symptoms, instead of end them. 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.

After selling my home a few years ago, I began looking for a rental. Because I had read about the impact of electromagnetic fields, I purchased an EMF unit to test the living spaces. So many had issues. One particular complex I really liked. The leasing rep told me an apartment would soon become available but I couldn’t see it at that time. As I noticed people moving in and out of the unit, I asked if I could take a peek inside. The EMF detector showed extremely high levels. I asked why they were moving. A lady told me her mother had died of cancer after living there a few years. I’m not suggesting that caused her cancer 100%, but it is, of course, possible. I eventually moved into a lovely complex. The EMF readings in my unit are 0%.

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'm an Electrical Engineer that concentrated studies in the field of RF and Optical. It's very easy to see the potential dangers of radiated emissions when you look at a graph of absorbtion across frequency. It shows that water or matter that consists of water, like the human body, are very effective at absorbing radiation. That's why microwave ovens work so well. They don't work well on dry foods but work most effectively on wet or fat filled foods. The human body is high in water and fat. The brain is also very high in both. I've always cringed at the thought of holding a cell phone up to one's head. I've observed a large increase in health issues including cancers in people over the last two decades. It started out with pagers and two way radios that people would wear on their belt for convenience. I saw many friends die from cancer in the gut directly behind where they clipped their pagers and 2 way radios. As technology progressed the cell phones added cancers where people stored and operated their phones. I urge anyone I know not to use of store their phone in close proximity to their body. An example is light... Light is great but you don't put a light bulb up to your face. You get close to fire and it destroys your cells. Both examples are easy to understand. Now shift up the frequency spectrum a bit and just because you can't see the energy doesn't mean it isn't there. Cell phones need to communicate with cell towers that are up to two miles away. Imagine a light bulb or fire that is bright enough to shine two miles. Ok, would you ever consider putting that fire or light bulb right against your head or any part of your body? Clearly not so why would you allow that with a cell phone. Instead, imagine how quickly the heat drops down from the fire or light bulb when you pull back a bit. It doesn't take to much distance to reduce the energy to a manageable level. Arms length seems to do it. As a minimum use your speaker phone and significantly reduce the energy radiated into your critical body parts. Apply the same reasoning to your home router and other radiating devices. Keep your distance as much as possible. Yes it doesn't eliminate the issue but it certainly reduces the impact a LOT. When I explain this to people they don't need to be technical experts to understand... they typically get it and instantly change their habits. The realities of this should be communicated out to everyone and done sooner than later. I don't need a detailed study, it's common sense. Look at the composition of the cells in your human body and look at the radiated absorbtion spectrum graph and put two and two together. Everyone understands the idea of a microwave oven. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation and promoting communicating this out to the public. 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.
