Reports personal tinnitus and a spouse’s arrhythmias while explicitly noting uncertain causation, and req…

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 a concerned citizen. I am concerned that the regulation of the safety of radio frequencies has not been updated since 1996. Since then, many new forms of wireless radiation, from cell phone towers to smart electronics have become ubiquitous in our lives. Personally, I have suffered from intense tinnitus for about 20 years. My husband has had heart arhythmias and tinnitus for a similar period of time. Otherwise, we are generally healthy. There is no way to know whether radio frequencies are causing these, yet I am suspicious that they are. Therefore I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. 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.

Alleges stalking and directed-energy targeting, including auditory and microwave attacks, and reports sev…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am a Targeted Individual which started in July 2021. They use Directed Energy Weapons on me. It started with Voice to Skull. I would here all day long what sounded like drums playing off in the distance. All day long this went on for months. Then it was on and off for years at the same time I was being targeted with Sursetzung. Break ins to my house. I was poisoned a couple times with my food, breakins to my car. I was being followed everywhere I went. Drugged when I was out with friends.. Then on October 4, 2025 they started hitting me with Directed Energy Weapons. Microwave r Radiation Attacks to different parts of my body. Every night for the past year. They attack my heart, my lungs. When I wake up in the morning, I can't breathe, right. I feel weak dizzy. My body feels like it can't put itself back together and function properly. It is like it has been depleted of everything. All vitamins and everything I need to keep myself healthy. They attack my heart. My heart will be racing i will have palpitations. The worst is you cannot control it you can not slow your heart down. They attack my head, I will be dizzy with brain fog. My eyesight will be blurry. It is very hard to accomplish normal activity. They attack my wrists, hands, hips, feet, ankles. I believe they are trying to shatter certain parts of my body so I will be incapacitated. This way I cannot protect myself from the radiation. And the question is, if I have to have an operation because of this. They will still attack me and I will never heal! Infection pneumonia sepsis. I think that is the plan for my death by them. This is horrible you lay there n bed while there attacking you destroying your tissue, bone, lungs, heart, brain. Your waiting to shatter into a million pieces. Or waiting for that cancer diagnoses. You lay there knowing there is nothing you can do to stop them. There killing you and know one believes you. You can't say anything because then your crazy and committed to a phsyc ward. Thank you for listening to my story. Thank you for being a true HERO to all American citizens.

Reports severe mobile-phone sensitivity with pain, migraines, arrhythmia and cognitive problems, describe…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am responding as: an individual. Type of wireless or RF/EMF sources involved (e.g., mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters…): mobile phones Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years): Almost every single day, a few hours of duration, once or twice a day, since 20012. Adverse health effect(s) experienced: Fatigue (some times extreme fatigue), pain, migraines, decreased body temperature, heart arrhythmia, cognitive problems (mainly in concentration and short term memory), irritability, non-restorative sleep. Time from first exposure to first appearance of adverse health effects; and did a change in exposure coincide with the onset of adverse effects: It is difficult to know, since I have been sick for a few years, with the symptoms I mentioned above, until a change of my usual home in 2012, in the mountains, where the radiation was very low, made me realize that I was reacting to the radiation of the mobile phone, and then I began to realize that this radiation made me sick. When you live surrounded by artificial radiation, as it happens today, it is difficult to perceive that this radiation is what makes you sick. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis? Yes, although today the main recommendation is to avoid as much as possible exposures. Other palliative recommendations were provided by physicians, mainly to increase antioxidant intake. Yes, I was diagnosed by four different physicians. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects? Yes, the main step has been to get to live in a place where artificial radiation is very low, so that exposure only occurs when there are neighbors nearby. Nevertheless, I had to shield part of the house, since from one year to the next, radiation increases everywhere. Of course there were changes in the effects, in fact, If I hadn't been able to find a suitable house and shield a part of the house, I don't know if I would still be alive, because my sensitivity is very high. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information: There are thousands of scientific publications that conclude that radiation from cell phones, antennas, wi-fi, etc. is harmful to health at intensity levels below the currently recommended limits, and more studies are published every year. I personally react at levels of 1 uW/m2, if exposed more than 30 min., or immediately at levels of 10 uW/m2 or more. 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: Yes, it is important to note that, as I explained above, it is not easy to realize that wireless radiation is affecting you, unless you have the opportunity to live a few days in a place were such radiation is very low. Some effects take some time to appear from exposure, although they can last for several days. The impact on life, in all areas, is enormous, it is devastating.

1. & 2. Responding as: an individual 3a. Type of sources: WI-Fi 3b. Nature, duration, frequency, timing: Pulsed frequencies, continuing during several minutes/hours, from low frequencies (dirty electricity) to high frequencies (mobille Phones, WI-FI), since more than 10 years 3c. Adverse health effects: agitation, hyperactivity, memory and concentration difficulties, insomnia, headaches, ringing in the ears, a buzzing sensation in the head, hunger, abdominal pain, nausea, frequent urination, irritation of the airways and lungs, heart palpitations, chest pain, severe fatigue, flu-like symptoms, feverishness, sore eyes, dry eyes, blurred vision, itchy scalp, rough and red facial skin, restless legs, numb hands, dry mouth (especially at night), emotional, exhausted 3d. Time from exposure to appearance of adverse effects; did a change coincide with onset: more than 10 years 3e. Medical evaluation sought? Diagnosis? Yes. Diagnosis by classical doctors was burn-out/CFS, an endocrinologist has found a mild form of CAH and several auto-immune diseases (hashimoto, parietal cell antibodies, vitiligo) 3f. Steps taken to reduce exposure; subsequent changes in effects: Yes, no use of wireless devices, shielded home, shielding clothes outside home, electricity off at night. The effects dissapear 2 or 3 days after elimination of the exposure, but come back during and after new exposure. 3g. Supporting documentation: You can find links to Scientific reports on: https://stichtingehs.nl/wetenschappelijk-onderzoek-naar-ehs/ Additional Details: B1a. Sources experienced as causing Adverse Effects: WI-FI, smart-phones, antenna's, cordless phones, dirty electricity B1b. Sources can sense, but don't harm: I do not sense EMF, I just get all these health complaints from them, most of them after the exposure B1c. Can use without sensing: clean electricity, one short pulse of HF EMF a few times a day, very short phone call with a smart phone (less than 1 minute), sending an sms, B1d. That provide benefit: I have no idea, never tried them B2a. Health conditions that may contribute: Chronic permanent (day/night) exposure to EMF during many years: WI-FI router under my desk, long phonecalls with mobile phones, cordless phone next to the couch B2b.

Reports cardiac, skin and neurological symptoms near a base station and improvement after moving, describ…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I live in Sweden and I write as an individual from my own experience. About 15 years ago or so, I started having heart problems, skin problems and strong headaches. I was unaware of the base station on the roof opposite, 20 meters from and in level with my home. At that time there was little or no knowledge about what a base station was or looked like. During six years or longer, I began to experience symptoms of sunburn pain in palms, soles of feet and mouth; heart palpitations and irregular heart beats; headaches and head pressure, nerve pain and face rashes, trouble swallowing, blurred vision and then nose bleeds. Unaware of why at the time, symptom decreased when I went away was in large buildings with metal roofs, like offices or malls, with no base stations and at times when there was few visitors. I was diagnosed with heart arythmia and tried antihistamin medication for skin problems but it made no difference. But after moving and having longer distance to base station I began to feel better. Skin rashes and swallowing problems disappeared, arythmia decreased from daily / nightly to a few unregular beats weekly; headaches decreased from every week to about once every second month; nose bleeds decreased from a few every month to once or twice a year. Since then I use cable wired devices with wireless turned off. I think on of the most important things is to get information about using cable wired devices and the "pros and cons". I am glad I got aware of the situation. But of course, I am sometimes worried about the more serious health effects it might have for me living so close to a base station. Some additional information: Bioinitiative.org scientists reviewed around 1 800 studies and summarized that "Chronic base station level exposures can result in illness." And that "Many of these bioeffects can reasonably be presumed to result in adverse health effects if the exposures are prolonged or chronic." (https://bioinitiative.org/conclusions/). In the livingroom sofa and bedroom – where I spent most of my time – the measurements was 10 – 30 microwatts per squaremeter (bedroom) and arund 2 000 microwatts per squaremeter (livingroom sofa). This was in 2017, with a Cornet consumer meter. In other part of the home it was higher. Most likely communication from 3G (2100 MHz and 900 MHz )and 4G (1800 MHz and 2 600 MHz).

More human exposure studies are necessary to clarify the topic."

Reports palpitations, body aches and cognitive symptoms near Wi-Fi that repeatedly improve when it is swi…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I've noticed that whenever I'm near a Wi-Fi router, I experience heart palpitations, body aches, a buzzing sensation in my head, and brain fog. Interestingly, when I turn off the Wi-Fi, these symptoms seem to disappear. I've observed this pattern repeatedly, and I'm concerned about what might be causing it. I would appreciate more research and attention being given to experiences like mine.

Reports headaches, tinnitus, balance problems and sleep disruption after a smart-meter installation, late…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I unwittingly had a SMART electricity meter fitted in an understairs cupboard in the centre of my home (I think it was 2017). I slept with my head six inches from it, only a plasterboard stud wall and my headboard in between. I suffered early morning headaches, nausea, tinnitus and disrupted sleep. In 2020, when we were locked down, I spent more time at home and my symptoms worsened drastically, I began feeling dizzy and sustained injuries from falling after losing my balance on several occassions. My skin itched constantly and I started to feel confused, brain fogged and disproportionately angry when exposed to mobile phones. In the last few months, using a mobile phone causes my heart to pound and my blood pressure to increase sharply, it's fine when I don't have any exposure. I'm not alone! My son, age 51, has also begun to feel symptoms, when exposed, he experiences chronic fatigue, bouts of unexplained anger and frustration, and becomes confused. I suffer from hypothyroidism, as do both of my next door neighbours on either side, who live with SMART meters in their homes. I have a good friend who has a cell tower adjacent to his house, he suffers more symptoms and I find the energy in his home so toxic that I cannot go in his house. I am SO VERY GRATEFUL to Secretary Kennedy for raising awareness on this issue, which I believe is causing suffering worldwide. Thank you!

Quotes a review concerning laptop and incubator fields, fetal exposure and newborn heart-rate variability…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
https://bioinitiative.org/wp-content/uploads/pdfs/sec19_2012_Fetal_neonatal_effects_EMF.pdf Pregnant women with laptops close to their belly receive more EMF for the child than safety limits allow. But less so if the laptop is on a table. "Induced electric currents were estimated for both the pregnant woman and the fetus. Statistical values of the averaged current density were evaluated for body tissues including the body of the fetus, and the grey and white matter of the brain of the mother; the mother’s cerebellum, the mother’s cerebrospinal fluid and mother’s muscle tissue. In each case, the larger exposure was generated by the power supply rather than the laptop operation. Levels of induced current substantially exceeded ICNIRP public safety limits, assuming close proximity of the laptop to the belly of the pregnant woman (for the fetus, between 182% and 263.7% of the ICNIRP standard); and for the woman (between 346.7% and 483.5% of the ICNIRP standard). Simple measures to distance the laptop during use (placing it on a table or desk and not on the body of the user) will result in significant reduction of ELF-EMF exposure and induced electric current in both mother and fetus..." On how to reduce extremely low frequency EMF exposure in incubators. "To allow what is an essential medical intervention for the growing premature baby, or the sick infant who needs exceptional care following birth, at least two possible solutions to reduce ELF-EMF levels are:  Designing incubators with the motor far from the baby (some incubators already have adopted this measure) and  Using ELF-EMF absorbing panels to shield the baby’s body from emissions (like Mu metal)." ... Nurses get EMF near incubators. High EMF influences baby heart rate variability. "Another paper showed that nurses are also exposed to high EMF while working near incubators [ Bellieni, 2002]. Bellieni et al [2008] reported that the exposure to high electromagnetic fields can interfere with the sympathetic nervous system in altering babies’ heart rate variability. Heart rate variability (HRV) of 43 newborns in incubators was studied. HRV is an index of Autonomous Nervous System activity. The study group comprised 27 newborns whose HRV was studied throughout three 5-minute periods: 1) with incubator motor on, 2) with incubator off, and 3) with incubator on again, respectively. Mean HRV values obtained during each period were compared. The control group comprised 16 newborns but exposed to no source of ELF-EMF; they were exposed to changes in background noise similar to those provoked by the incubator motor (to reproduce the conditions of the first cohort). Mean total power and the high-frequency (HF) component of HRV increased significantly and the mean low-frequency (LF)/HF ratio decreased significantly when the incubator motor was turned off. Basal values were restored when incubators were turned on again. Changes in background noise did not provoke any significant change in HRV. We therefore concluded that ELF-EMFs produced by incubators influence newborns' HRV, showing an influence on their 8 autonomous nervous system. More research is needed to assess possible long-term consequences, since premature newborns may be exposed to these high ELF-EMFs for months." ... "Existing FCC and ICNIRP public safety limits seem to be not sufficiently protective of public health, in particular for the young (embryo, fetus, neonate, very young child). The World Health Organization International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified both ELF-EMF and RF EMF (wireless radiofrequency) as Possible Human Carcinogens (Group 2B). New, biologically-based public exposure standards are critically needed. Common sense measures to limit both ELF-EMF and RF EMF in these populations is needed, especially with respect to avoidable exposures like incubators that can be modified; and where education of the pregnant mother with respect to laptop computers, mobile phones and other sources of ELF-EMF and RF EMF are easily instituted. It is not in the public interest to wait: A precautionary approach may provide the frame for decision making where remediation actions have to be realized to prevent high exposures of children and pregnant woman."

The commenter reports neurological, cardiac, and skin symptoms, says a doctor verbally identified Havana …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am not an American citizen. I am submitting this in my individual capacity as a concerned and affected global resident. Tinnitus, sleepiness, dizziness, nausea, headache, loss of balance, idiopathic skin rashes, pulsations between ears, palpitations of the heart, pain in the ears, fatigue, red eyes. These are some of the symptoms I’ve experienced. That these symptoms are called Havana Syndrome was verbally confirmed by an esteemed doctor who also asked me if there was a cellphone tower around me and told me to stay away from it. Yes we have a cellphone tower near my home. Additionally, at a particularly intensified period of encountering elements with questionable ethics who stalked me, I heard a gibberish sound that tapered out, followed by sudden vibrations that cause heat in the body, nausea, dizziness, loss of balance and pain in escalating severity. At times this painful vibration was targeted at a particular location of my body, specifically one that already has been causing a dull ache. All of this has resulted in physical weakness leading to accidents that further deteriorate the quality of my life. My dog shows the same symptoms of loss of balance and skin rashes, even bleeding, sensitive ears. I’ve found him whimpering at nights. Furthermore my family has experienced health issues ranging from tinnitus, loss of brain function to cancer. Microwave, EMF, sound and electronic technology is weaponised against unsuspecting civilians by malicious threat actors as the world moves towards mass surveillance. We need governments to acknowledge and effect regulations, counter measures, safety protocols, anti-harm technology, medical care to solve to issues already created. Since the United States leads technological development of the globe, you must also take responsibility and effect ethical safeguards for mankind’s safe transition to a world that leverages it. Easily accessible counter technology and information about it should be widely available to civilians. Everyone cannot walk around in a faraday cage or make their home and environment one. Thank you for your time and attention, Regards,

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, mobile phones, smart meters, cell towers 3b. Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years):I have reacted for 24 years, and had to move house because if it. 3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced:chronic fatigue, memory loss, headaches, twitchy and cramping muscles, eye focus, pressure in my head, sleep problems, unable to concentrate at times, heart palpitations, dizziness, burning sensation, tinitus, tingling on my skin, bladder problems as if I have cystitis, lower immune system, weakness 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:Almost immediately. I very close to the university where they were developing the technology. The top of the building was suddenly covered with the emitters they put on the towers. Immediately when a wifi box was put into the house and cordless phone was also bought. 3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis?Yes, the diagnosis was it was all in my head. Then I finally met a doctor who took my blood and looked at it under a microscope in his office and my blood cells were clumping together, not flowing freely as has been seen by many scientists studying exposure to EMF's. My blood look just like those discovered. by the scientists. 3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects?Yes, moved house. Put ethernet cables throughout the house and corded phones. Don't use a mobile phone. It made a big difference to how I felt. 3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information:Health risk from wireless? The debate is over. by Associate Prof. Olle Johansson and Associate Adj. Professor Einar Flydal 25 April 2014 The debate on health risks from mobiles, wireless LANs, baby calls and other wireless equipment based on microwaves, is, in fact, over – at least from a professional health and biophysics perspective. 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:Digestive and gut problems, sensitivity to food, problems socializing with friends. travelling, staying in hotels, walking around cities, eating in restaurants. It has effected my life severly. I am very isolated now, where as I used to be a very much an extravert, visiting museums, art galleries etc but now I have to be very careful where I go, how long I can tolerate the environment before I need to return home and retreat to under my protective net. This has caused a lose of friends, and a lot of contact with people. Because it is invisible people don't believe that I am struggling to stay normal and lead a normal life. When I am somewhere that has no EMF's I am my oldself. But that is rare these days as they are determined to cover the whole world. B1a. Sources you experience as causing you Adverse Effects:cell towers, wifi, cordless and mobile phones, smart meters, electric cars B1b. Sources you can sense, but don't seem to harm you:Non B1c. Sources you can use without sensing or being harmed:Non B1d. Sources that seem to provide benefit (i.e., electrotherapy):grounding on the earth, bednet B2a. Health conditions you think may contribute to your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless:I had no health conditions when I became sensitive to EMFs. 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:I have found nothing other than trying to live with it as best I can. Removing all exposure when in the house, so stronger for the times I do go out of the house. B3b. That you recommend, but you’re not positive that they help:Non B3c. That helped you but you don’t recommend. (e.g., the benefit did not last long or the side effects were too harmful):taking supplements, acupuncture, cleanses, B3d. Treatments that had no effect:Any exposure has made it worse. B3e. Treatments that made your sensitivity worse:65-74 B4. What is your age range?65-74 B5. What year did you become aware of your sensitivity to wireless radiation or electromagnetic fields?2002 B6. What country, state, province, or major city were you living in when you first noticed your sensitivity to wireless or electromagnetic fields?Edinburgh, Scotland
