Describes electromagnetic sensitivity, loss of an in-person teaching career and reduced public access, re…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am sensitive to electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) and radio frequencies (RFs) caused by cell phones, electricity, WiFi, cell towers, and other wireless and electronic devices. To say that the discovery of my sensitivity greatly impacted my life, is an understatement. It nearly RUINED me, I had thoughts of ending my life. It has certainly ruined my career as a public school teacher. I can no longer teach in person because I cannot tolerate being around antennas, cell phones, smart meters, and all of the other miscellaneous wireless devices. I am forced to work from home and do not make nearly the amount of money that I used to make. I began having health issues in 2016. My symptoms included leg numbness, brain fog, balance issues, gastrointestinal issues, heart issues, and list goes on. I had never had any health issues prior, at that time I was in my mid 40s. That year, in 2016 was the first year they put WiFi on the ceiling of my classroom. Additionally, I was in a classroom with several iPads and cell phones. Through my health insurance, I had several tests done. The doctors told me it might be MS or a brain tumor. Over a 4 year period, I had blood tests, MRIs, nerve tests, endoscopy, colonoscopy, ekg, and several visits to address the many symptoms that I was experiencing. In the spring of 2020, 5g towers were being deployed all over my city and around my neighborhood. I started developing ear infections, heart issues, and my body felt like it was vibrating all the time. I knew that I hit the end of the road with Western Medicine, all the tests were inconclusive and there was nothing they could do for me. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I got rid of my WIFI and cell phone, I fully wired my home and began sleeping with the electricity off in my bedroom at night. I was still living in a housing tract and was surrounded by cell towers, so my symptoms did not completely go away, but they were greatly reduced by the changes I made. Today, I live with a lot of land separating me from my neighbors. I have a shield on my smart meter, as my electric company will not entertain an analog meter and I am 3 miles from the nearest cell tower. I do not allow cell phones or other wireless devices in my home. I now live a relatively comfortable life with minimal symptoms as long as I stay home. When going out to run errands or traveling I often experience the following: headaches, watery eyes with head pressure, trouble focusing, brain fog, inability to think clearly, balance issues and many other health symptoms depending on the type of EMF or RF and the concentration. I cannot be comfortable out in public, my trips are usually very short. There is plenty of research out there that shows the dangers of wireless radiation. In 1971, the Naval Medical Research Institute in Maryland researched the biological effects and clinical manifestations attributed to radio frequency and microwave radiation. I highlighted the symptoms that I have personally experienced as a result of wireless radiation. In the Naval Medical Research Institute report, they found that the radiation caused all of the following and more: heating of organs, corneal damage, altered menstruation, altered fetal development, liver enlargement, decreased lactation in nursing mothers, altered renal function, changes in the oxidative processes in skin and organs, altered blood flow rate, electrocardiographic changes, myocardial necrosis, dehydration, death, headaches, insomnia, cranial nerve disorders, seizures, convulsions, altered heart rhythm, structural alterations in synapses of vagus nerve, stimulation of parasympathetic nervous system and inhibition of sympathetic nervous system, depression, impotence, anxiety, lack of concentration, tremors, dizziness, scalp sensations, chest pain, increased irritability, blood disorders, vascular disorders, biochemical changes, metabolic disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, endocrine gland changes, and genetic and chromosomal changes.

Reports family symptoms and neighbors' cancers near towers in Moorpark, recounts unsuccessful siting obje…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
We lived 560 ft from three macro cell towers in Moorpark, CA, right off of Tierra Rejada near Brookhurst. In the home that we lived in, our family of six experienced ear ringing, vertigo, heart palpitations, and headaches. We measured the distance of our home from the three macro towers from AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile. Other neighbors had also experienced issues. Four of our neighbors who were closer to the cell towers ended up getting leukemia and cancer. These eventually passed. We had several city council meetings at the City of Moorpark addressing our concerns. The city said that the towers were to be present according to the Brown Act, which required telecommunications to be available to the community should there be an emergency. We stated that sufficient telecommunications had been available with the previous versions of 1G and 2G, but with the advancement of telecommunications allowing for higher levels of data for video and internet service, there was a stronger signal that was posing health risks to homes. Our plea to move the towers was ignored, and other towers were placed near homes. At Peach Hill Rd., another tower was placed near a family home, which was 45 ft from the home and 12 ft from the child's playhouse. This was not acceptable. This family also began to experience symptoms as our family had. This family also approached the Moorpark City Council in July of 2017 and December of 2020. This family's concerns were also ignored, stating the Brown Act. Other cities such as the City of Malibu and the City of Calabasas had ordinances in place to allow safe placement of cell towers from homes, but Moorpark does not. This concern was ignored. There are other homes in the area that have been at risk for health effects, such as homes that are near the Verizon tower on Tierra Rejada in Moorpark. One home is only 50 ft from the tower. Other homes close as well. A person should be allowed to live peacefully in their home without outside intervention. What we and others have had to endure living in a home where we were bombarded day and night with EMF, which caused symptoms that should not have occurred. We were unfairly driven from our home to be in a healthier environment, which our City was telling us was safe and not an issue at all. While we are not opposed to telecommunications, we are in favor of safe telecommunications where equipment is placed safely away from homes. Our experience has been heartbreaking, as we felt that we were driven from our home to be at a safe location where we and our children could be healthier. We ask that the United States government look into this issue and to provide regulations to the telecom companies as to where they can place their equipment. Equipment should not invade homes but should be placed at safe distances. If airports and fire departments are protected from unsafe placement of telecom equipment, why can't homes where people live for many hours. Something needs to change to help.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
We don’t know for sure the long term effect of RF and EMF in human’s brain activity; DNA delicate balance; nervous system equilibrium; vital organs electro activity field e.g. heart; Immune System sensitivity to Towers Radiation, and all other things we don’t know. Also, some rare form of Cancer, Tumors, and Homeostatic Abnormalities related to high exposure to RF and EMF emitted to 5.G Towers.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
EMF levels are above epa set limits where I live in Billings, Montana . We can shut off all internet , iPhones, routers and have no underground lines or towers near our homes. We are under assault and have read it’s by our govt. we are told if we sound the alarm on this issue we will be murdered and said to he crazy . This is our family it was noticeable July 2018 with microwave frequencies exceeding healthy limits . Anyone can get a monitor and evidence this abuse called electronic torture . It’s damaged our health burns our skins , tinnitus, headache and we have been forced to leave our residence and get a motel room for 5 months in 2021! Our teeth throb, nose bleeds and cardiac issues. We all had to go on BP meds to try to control the high BP caused by the electrical waves that disrupt our heart beats . We are disoriented and suffer memory issues . Burning our skin is normal . We have Havana syndrome and hear constant high pitch hissing sounds and other high pitch sounds. 24/7 acoustic sounds directed at us . Conservative Christian family under electronic torture ! Please stop them . They run the world .

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Our community has been having issues related to the cell towers put up, and the second new cell timer put up recently. These towers are close to our community schools and our community. Our childeren have been experiencing high blood pressure, swelling, headaches, and bloody noses. Our community is also at risk of thyroid issues. Doctors are claiming this is genetic. Our family has never had issues with our thyroid until now and we are a family of 7. All of us are having issues with our thyroid. One of my children also suffer from suicidal intentions with her mental health and fear these cell towers dont make things easier for any of us.

Reports heart palpitations and sleep disruption after a smart-meter installation, unsuccessful attempts t…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
A smartmeter was installed on my house in Portland, OR in April of 2019. I did not authorize the attachment of a wireless radio transmitter on my property, that information was never presented to me. Within weeks I started having serious heart palpitations which became more and more intense as time went on. I started waking up around 3 am with my heart racing, unable to get back to sleep. I found some relief by turning off the power to my house every single night. I appealed to Pacific Power with a series of certified mail letters in order to get my analog meter back, to no avail. I soon found that my tolerance for exposure to any man made radiation was diminishing, and could not continue my business which was computer based cad drafting work. My best option was to sell my house and close my business, which is what I did. I took an early retirement and live now without electricity, and have not had any serious heart issues since I left my house with the smartmeter in Portland.

Reports chest pain when seated near a wireless-reading utility meter and requests investigation of digita…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
We have a digital meter on our home outside our kitchen window. It is not a smart meter but it is a wireless meter for reading purposes. When I sit at the kitchen table the digital meter is about 5 to 6 feet away on the other side of the kitchen window on the outside wall. I almost immediately start to have an upper chest pain start up and go across my entire chest. It will persist when I sit in this chair close to the wall with the digital meter on the other side. This only happens when I sit at this kitchen chair that is close to the digital meter on the outside wall. When I get up and move and walk away the pain subsides. Even if I am cooking in the kitchen I do not have this pain. It only happens when I am stationary sitting at this chair that is close to the outside meter. The EMF's from this digital meter I do feel within our home and have to be detrimental because of the symptoms I experience only when I sit close to this digital meter. No one else in the home uses this kitchen chair to sit at during the day. Please investigate the EMFs emitting from the digital meters and the smart meters.

Reports heart fluttering that stopped after unplugging a cellular booster and later tinnitus attributed t…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hello, Thank you for investigating the effects of rf/emf. I have personal experience concerning this issue. My husband and I live in a small town in NH with rolling hills and valleys. The cell phone service in the area has not been historically great because of this. Because of the nature of my husband's work he needed better cell service, so installed a warehouse cell signal booster into our basement. This was several years ago. Upon doing that I started noticing that when I was sitting in a certain part of the house my heart would start skipping beats, fluttering irregularly. He didn't believe me but after much complaining we unplugged it and the fluttering hasn't occurred since. Skip ahead, as of approximately a year and a half ago. There is a new cell tower that has been erected in our town that is on the highest hill. We are located on the top of a ridge approximately three miles (the way the crow flies) away from it. Since the cell tower has gone active my ears are hissing, sometimes worse than others. I can quiet the hissing sound by using shungite stones placed over my ears. I believe these symptoms are a direct correlation to the rf/emf that the cell tower is putting out. I have frequently thought about having someone come and measure the amount we are getting exposed to. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

2026年3月からTI被害者になり、電磁波攻撃を受けています。 歯の矯正をはじめてから、頭痛が毎日起こるようになり、歯の隙間が2箇所、かなり空いた状態で終わりだと告げられて、何度も理由を聞いても、他で治してくださいと言われ、精神的にショックを受けました。歯の矯正から、今も毎日頭痛に悩まされています。 建売住宅で生活し、購入から2年6ヶ月集団ストーカー被害と、テクノロジー被害がスタートしました。 被害は、高周波 キーンと高い音 これで頭痛が起きます。低周波、低振動波で、ベッドで寝て起きると内臓が痛く、まともに歩けない状態になります。数時間でよくなります。 ペットボトルの飲料水が電磁波で、苦く変な味にされて、飲むと心拍数が上がり体調が悪くなります。 水道水の加害があり、飲むと体調不良になります。 四角い一軒家で、屋根の一辺から、家全体に電磁波がまんべんなく降り注ぐように、設計されていて、強い電磁波が降り注ぎ続けます。 洗濯機や、換気扇が救急車のサイレンの音がします。 自分達が購入した家なのに、自分の家に電磁波で加害されています。 だれかが、操作しているようです。 盗聴、盗撮、防犯カメラや携帯はハッキングされています。 これは、ブレイカーをほぼ全て切っている状態です。 このような電磁波攻撃が毎日あります。 冷蔵庫とエアコンは、ブレイカーは切れないので、使っています。 Wi-Fiを経由して盗撮もされていると考えます。 全てが、加害と決め付けるのは駄目な事ですが。 TI被害者なのは明確なので、数々の不可解な事は、テクノロジー犯罪の可能性がかなり高いと思います。 私の人生は、常に不安や緊張、落胆や焦り、怒りや葛藤に悩まされてきました。 しかし、長年の嫌がらせが多かったので、被害があると理解できたら、何故か安心しました。 そして、絶対に負けない、と思いました。 鍛えられてきた精神は、こんな事では負けません。 私は強い人になっていました。そしてまた、加害される度に強くなります。頑張ります。耐えます。 TI被害者を一刻も早く、助けてください。

Requests independent research into susceptibility, children and combined environmental exposures, describ…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am submitting this as a mother and an individual diagnosed with POTS, autism, and ADHD, who also suspects hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS). I am asking HHS to investigate long-term RF/EMF exposure, particularly for people with underlying biological vulnerabilities and for children. A major worsening of my health began while living in an apartment built in the 1940s. A bank of three smart meters was installed directly outside our bedroom wall. Following their installation, both my daughter and I began experiencing significant sleep problems. I developed increasingly frequent headaches, brain fog, restlessness, and a persistent feeling that I could not fully relax. I also noticed my symptoms intensifying around the broader rollout of 5G, although I cannot determine whether that technology was involved. After the smart meters were installed, mold began appearing on the walls in that area, and mushrooms grew in the ground directly in front of the meters. Mold was also identified as a problem in the apartment. The sequence of events stands out to me, but I recognize that moisture intrusion, drainage, and the age of the building could explain the fungal growth. I am not claiming the meters caused the mold or our symptoms. Rather, I question whether multiple environmental exposures are being adequately studied together rather than in isolation. Approximately three years after moving out, I was formally diagnosed with autism and ADHD. These diagnoses helped explain lifelong neurological and sensory differences, but not why my symptoms had become so much more pronounced during that period. My confirmed POTS diagnosis also raises questions about whether individuals with autonomic dysfunction might respond differently to environmental stressors. I can hear loud electrical humming associated with power infrastructure, refrigerators, and some areas near cell towers. Prolonged exposure to these environments frequently coincides with headaches and a physical sensation of being unable to relax or rest. In contrast, when spending time in forests away from concentrated electrical infrastructure, I do not experience those same sensations. I recognize that audible humming, vibration, and RF radiation are different phenomena and may have different explanations. I also experience a burning sensation specifically where my cellphone touches my hand when I hold it for an extended period. This has occurred with every phone I have owned. I cannot determine whether device heat, nerve or skin sensitivity, RF exposure, or another factor explains this recurring experience, but I believe such symptoms deserve investigation. Because of these concerns, I primarily use wired Ethernet, turn off my Wi-Fi router when not needed, keep my cellphone in airplane mode whenever possible, and avoid apartments with smart meters or choose units farther from meter banks. These are personal precautions, not evidence of causation. As a mother, I am especially concerned about pregnant women, developing fetuses, infants, and children. Their developing nervous systems, anatomical differences from adults, including skull thickness, and potentially lifelong exposure raise important questions about long-term effects. I am not asserting that these differences establish increased harm, but I question whether existing research and safety assessments adequately account for different developmental stages, newer frequencies, and cumulative exposure from multiple wireless technologies. I ask HHS to prioritize independent, long-term research using objective exposure measurements and neurological, autonomic, and sleep-related outcomes. Research should specifically examine potentially susceptible groups, including individuals with POTS and other forms of dysautonomia, connective-tissue disorders such as hEDS, mast-cell disorders, autism, and ADHD. It should also investigate possible interactions with mold and other environmental conditions. I would also like greater transparency about actual exposure levels in homes, apartments, and schools, particularly near sleeping areas and banks of smart meters, so families can make informed decisions. My personal experiences cannot establish causation, but I believe they raise legitimate questions that deserve rigorous scientific investigation. I hope HHS will examine these possibilities without prejudging the outcomes and consider whether potentially vulnerable individuals and children may be overlooked when research focuses primarily on population-wide averages. Thank you for considering my experience and these concerns.
