The commenter reports illness and breast cancer after moving into senior housing near a tower, describes …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am so glad to have the opportunity to have input about the damage to my health this has caused. 2 1/2 years ago I rented a house and had 1.24 Ac. with a large 30' x 30' vegetable garden. I grew elderberries, blueberries, raspberries, haskap berries, rhubarb in a separate berry garden. I also had a lawn to mow and 15 chickens & a coop to maintain. It was a lot of work for a 75 yr. old female, but I take a lot of vitamins, do not smoke or drink; I exercise and visit my chiropractor once a week; I was in great shape for my age. Then, the landlord decided to sell the property I'd maintained for almost 10 years & now I have no gardens, no chickens and live in a small, low income senior apartment as it was all I could afford (my rental house had been 1/2 the price). Within 2 weeks of moving in, I developed a horrific, itchy rash on my forehead and arms.It took almost 6 weeks to get rid of it with red lite therapy, homeopathy & coconut oil. I started having insomnia the 1st week & it has gotten progressively worse--I cannot get to sleep until 5 A.M. some days. One day I noticed a CELL TOWER 60 yds. from my bedroom window. I couldn't believe it....WHY would they endanger seniors with a cell tower so close by??? Things got progressively worse for me, I now have CANCER in my left breast. I've had numerous recurrences of the itchy, nasty rashes on my arms, face, neck. When I had dental surgery, I had an autoimmune reaction to Amoxicillin and the left side of my face swelled up for weeks. I had never had a problem with that drug until that day. Now I'm developing an allergy to the dog I've owned for over 9 years. There is an electric box in the center of each apartment bathing us in EMFs 24/7. There is no where in the small space to escape this. I've wasted money on pendants, special blocking curtains, a plug-in neutralizer----nothing works, nothing helps I've wanted to move out of here since the first week, but rents are too high in the current economy. My cancer meds (Ivermectin/Mebendazole) are costing me $315 every 45 days. I will NOT submit to radiation or chemo---they almost killed my younger sister with these. The only REAL solution is the REMOVAL of all CELL TOWERS near residences, schools, etc. where people have to be for hours. These damnable things are killing people. In the short 2 1/2 years I've lived here....3 seniors contracted & DIED of cancer. I'll probably be next since I cannot afford to move. My meds are ONLY treating the symptoms NOT the cause. PLEASE acknowledge & RESOLVE this problem. Listen to Robert Kennedy!!! He is by far the BEST head of HHS we ever had. Sincerely, Theresa S. Noullet

The commenter reports illnesses among residents after rooftop transmitter installation and says complaint…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
When living in Brooklyn, NY, Verizon installed wireless transmitters on the roof of the building at 301 Oriental Blvd. They also installed a computer system in a room in the basement and had wires running down the outside wall from the 6th floor to the basement alongside a set of apartments. Residents on the 6th floor were negatively impacted health wise and some became stricken with cancer and blindness after the installation. Communication with the local government reps and landlord went unheeded.

A former telecommunications worker reports meningioma and cancers among colleagues, attributes them to oc…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am writing as a patient and former telecommunications industry professional who was diagnosed with a Clear Cell Grade 2 Meningioma in August 2019. I spent 20+ years working in the wireless telecommunications industry, where I was directly involved in developing wireless networks, tower sites, small cell sites, and rooftop and in-building distributed antenna systems for major carriers including AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and formerly Sprint nationwide. My job required me to work in close proximity to operating antennas and while transmitters were active. I was exposed to RF radiation on a frequent basis, often at close range, with cumulative exposure over years of employment. I deployed networks at various locations including the Empire State Building, Barclays Arena, and The Kennedy Center. Since my diagnosis, I have been forced to confront a devastating pattern that I observed within my industry: I have watched colleagues and friends, skilled professionals who shared similar occupational exposure, die of brain tumors and aggressive cancers at young ages. I don't believe these were isolated incidents. The concentration of serious illness among workers routinely exposed to antenna radiation suggests a correlation that demands investigation. I believe strongly that my occupational exposure to operating antennas caused my meningioma. The location of my tumor, the nature of my work, and the pattern of illness I witnessed among my peers cannot be dismissed as coincidence. Current FCC safety guidelines focus solely on thermal effects and do not account for the kind of chronic, close proximity occupational exposure that I and my deceased colleagues experienced. This issue is deeply personal, but it is also a matter of occupational and public health. Workers installing and maintaining our nation's wireless infrastructure deserve protection. The public living near these facilities deserves answers. And patients like me deserve recognition that our experiences matter. I urge HHS to prioritize research into occupational RF exposure and brain tumor risk, to examine patterns of illness among telecommunications workers, and to update safety standards that have failed to protect people in my profession. Please do not allow another generation of workers to face what I and my friends have faced.

The commenter describes a mother's leukemia and residence near three towers and raises concerns about the…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My mother, Kathleen Konecny, lived in a house located very close to three cellphone towers. She was told by her physician that she had lymphacitic leukemia and was told she must stay away from people to protect her body. She lived that way until she died in 1997. Because her red blood count was high, she was not treated with chemotherapy. She lived with her husband for over 20 years believing the false data from her physician.

A commenter identifying as a nurse describes family and client symptoms, a spouse's brain tumor and perce…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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 the following: patient, parent, family member, caregiver, doctorate prepared RN, researcher, advocate, and a concerned member of the public. Wireless radiation has adversely affected me, my children, my family, my clients, and the community. Shortly after 5G rolled out my children, my spouse, and I began having migraine headaches. My children and spouse were given scalp injections, nasal medications, and oral medications for the severe pain. Both my spouse and my children began to have sleep disturbances, including insomnia. My children were so bad that their doctor prescribed trazadone for sleep. My children and I began experiencing rashes without any known environmental cause for which more medication was prescribed. My spouse developed a brain tumor and subsequently died. I have developed an autoimmune condition which causes swelling of my joints, pain, and extreme fatigue (all labs come back normal). My eyesight has worsened drastically from perfect 20/20 to needing a new prescription every few months which I cannot afford, so I’m having to get a new pair of stronger readers from the drug store which don’t work as well as I need. My foster teen has had a vast improvement in behavioral issues since reducing the 5G exposure, so much so that the teen is being removed from their psych meds for ADHD, anxiety, and aggression. I have since the 5G devices removed from all bedrooms and the router/modem is at the other end of the house then where we live. I have noticed that people in the community (my health coaching clients) are also describing similar issues and those who reduce their exposure to 5G have an improvement in their symptomology. 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 and “studies” done by those being compensated by 5G have a huge conflict of interest. Those studies should be considered compromised. 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.

The commenter attributes a pet's cancer and personal tinnitus to wireless exposure and reports using spea…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am extremely concerned about wireless radiation. I had a cat who used to sit in a chair right next to my router. She got cancer and I'm convinced that's the reason why. I have been diagnosed with tinnitus (15 years ago). I believe it's because of the copious amount of time I spent putting a wireless cell phone next to my head. Up to 9 hours in one sitting. Because of this, I only user my speaker phone and I have hard wired my home. This is a real dangerous threat to the American people.

The commenter reports recovery from prolonged illness after switching to wired devices, objects to loss o…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I was sick for 8 months and couldn't hardly get out of the bed, had memory problems, and fatigue. I found a video of a red headed lady named Dana Ashley called, "An inconvenient truth square in your face". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9bdU_uw2Dc She had the same issues, but she found out it was the Wi-Fi in the house and from the phone and computers causing the sickness. The video was eye opening with one expert after another and doctor after another giving hard facts showing how it hurts the body. I wired everything with ethernet cords, at the time got a 3G cell phone, and I was completely well in a matter of a couple of weeks. I no longer can have a cell phone because they turned off my 3G phone and are only offering 5G phones. This is very harmful to the human body. These new cell phones put off 250X the legal limit of all but two countries - the US and Canada according to my meter and the data in the video mentioned above. It is deadly and almost nobody knows that it is giving them cancer and other sicknesses because the mainstream is keeping the truth tightly under wraps and killing people of all ages.

The commenter reports electrical tinnitus and cognitive symptoms while working near an air-base cell site…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My name is Michael, I worked at March Air Reserve Base for almost 5 years starting in October 2020. From which I have continuously suffered with electromagnetic hypersensitivity(EHS), specifically electrical tinnitus. The previous employee of who's office I took over died of cancer, he worked there a long time. A close office proximity coworker the time I was there died of cancer, he worked there 17 years. Many others having excessive health issues around me, eventually myself only overtime. I was born and raised in rural WY and have experienced the lowest and quietest EMR environments and the highest and most variable man-made ones at MARB. A large problem was the illegal cell tower site that was at a very low height of 25 feet and directly facing my office and parking space 200 feet away. At first, while the pandemic was ending, it wasn't too noticeable. When the base started filling up again and when the adjacent building was finished. The cell tower was operating at a much higher power more often with greater variability. Which was when I started noticing the tinnitus, memory, and cognitive problems. I complained but was dismissed and ridiculed. The workspace RF/MW power density went from 4 mW/m2 daily average to 14 mW/m2 daily average. Which is some of the highest to found besides similar condition around other cell towers. It was only noticeable over a few years of changing conditions. While being well versed in electrical theory, observant and having a lot of expensive meters. No one else would notice this. Lots of us are being adversely affected but can not physically associate any exposure with any health effect or condition because the complexity of exposures and delays of effects.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My sister in law died from brain cancer. She had several tumors in her brain. Cancer did not run in her family. She was on her cell phone all the time for her busines. My brother who was married to her had a malignant tumor on his jaw. He also has his phone on him all the time. My other brother has tried to talk to him about it. The brother who has the tumor on his jaw on the same side he holds his phone.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have lived next to a high voltage transmission line for 12 years. A few years ago a cell phone tower was also placed about a half mile from our house. I have now been diagnosed with leukemia as of 9/18/26. I am the health freak of my family. Always mindful of what goes in and on my body. I have exercised and eaten healthy foods since I was 13 years old. I am now 46. To have leukemia makes no sense if you understood my lifestyle. I have an EMF meter. Inside my home ranges from 11mG to 16mG. The closer you get to the transmission line, the higher the number. It reaches 40mG directly under the line, which is our responsibility to mow and maintain. I measured my oldest son’s home and nowhere in his home does the measurement get above 0.5mG. Where I sleep measures in the range of 9mG to 12mG. They say there isn’t enough research to prove EMF’s cause cancer. I. Am. The. Research.
