Describes extensive family symptoms after moving near towers and using indoor Wi-Fi, mitigation attempts …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am submitting this comment as a private citizen and parent documenting our family’s multi-year experiences with symptoms that temporally correlate with increased exposure to radiofrequency (RF) radiation and electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from mobile devices, home hotspots (MiFi), Wi-Fi networks, surveillance cameras, and proximity to cellular infrastructure. These observations are offered to assist HHS in evaluating real-world health experiences associated with RF/EMF exposure, particularly among families and potentially vulnerable individuals. Our family previously lived for three years in Astoria, Oregon, without nearby cell towers and without a continuous home hotspot. During that period we experienced none of the symptoms described below and no longer required pain-management care. We also lived earlier at Mile 10 of Eagle River Road in Alaska, again without close cellular infrastructure, and similarly reported nearly none of the same issues. In August 2024 we moved into an apartment in Anchorage, Alaska, located approximately three blocks from two cell towers (one AT&T and one believed to be Verizon) at 7th Avenue and Karluk Street. Concurrently, our household has used mobile devices, an iPad, and a home MiFi hotspot. The apartment building also maintains seven surveillance cameras connected to continuous basement Wi-Fi whose signals reach our unit day and night. Since relocating, multiple family members have developed new or markedly worsened symptoms that improve under specific exposure-reduction conditions and worsen under higher-exposure conditions. All relevant medical evaluations (bloodwork, emergency-room assessments) have returned normal results, including statements that my cardiac findings appear among the healthiest the treating physicians have seen. Observed Symptoms and Correlations * Sleep disruption and nightmares: Frequent awakenings (sometimes several times per night) occur if phones are not placed in airplane mode. Nightmares intensify without a silver-infused beanie and appear more pronounced once permanent winter snow cover is present. Silver-infused bed sheets and a grounding mat with ground-plug connection have provided partial relief. * Headaches: My wife experiences significant headaches that began after the move and proximity to the towers. * Blood-pressure elevation and chest pain: Both my wife and I experience elevated blood pressure and chest pain, especially in later winter months, or when the home hotspot lacks aluminum-foil shielding properly directed away from the core living area. Emergency evaluations yield normal cardiac bloodwork. * Cognitive and mood effects in a child: After extended iPad use, our son exhibits mood swings, severe forgetfulness of simple information, confusion, and frustration. A silver-infused beanie reduces these symptoms when worn. * Pain, body aches, and brain fog: These symptoms led both adults to resume care with a pain-management physician after years without such treatment. Symptoms lessen when the building’s basement Wi-Fi and cameras are offline. * Menstrual irregularities: My wife, in perimenopause, experiences cycles that can last a full month; laboratory bloodwork remains normal. * Seasonal and environmental modifiers: Symptoms intensify with continuous snow cover and diminish under reduced RF exposure (airplane mode, shielding, offline Wi-Fi). We have implemented multiple mitigation and health-support measures: silver-infused beanies and bed sheets, aluminum-foil shielding of the hotspot, a grounding mat, dietary avoidance of artificial sweeteners, gelatins, and processed beef/pork, regular use of ZeroWater filters, upgraded bath and shower filters designed to remove heavy metals, chlorine, chemicals, and fluoride, and supplements (silica, sea moss, oregano oil, etc.) intended to support heavy-metal clearance. Despite these steps, the listed symptoms persist in correlation with RF/EMF sources. Symptoms were largely absent in residences without nearby cell towers and continuous high-level indoor wireless sources. Symptoms appeared or intensified after moving within three blocks of two cell towers and into a building with continuous basement Wi-Fi-linked cameras. Temporary reductions in exposure (airplane mode, shielding, offline Wi-Fi) produce measurable short-term improvement in sleep, pain, blood pressure, and cognitive clarity. Medical work-ups consistently return normal laboratory and cardiac findings, leaving the temporal and exposure-linked patterns unexplained by conventional diagnostic results. I request that HHS consider these documented family observations - alongside clinical reports from other citizens and healthcare providers - when assessing the state of the evidence on RF/EMF health effects, potential research gaps and the adequacy of current exposure guidelines for real-world, multi-source environments. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

Reports chest tightness, headaches and other symptoms near infrastructure and phones and requests regulat…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I can feel EMFs, RF and wireless radiation. My chest tightens and it becomes hard to breathe. I was driving on Interstate 10 through Phoenix, Arizona one of the first times I experienced this along with a pressure headache. When we got through the city my symptoms went away. When my small town in central Texas replaced power poles from wood to metal I could feel in my breathing. I have had those symptoms on some city streets in Austin and San Antonio also. I cannot hold a cell phone to my ear because it feels like it's burning me. I opted out of getting a smart meter a few years ago since my bed is only about 8 feet from the meter and am charged a fee of $87.50 per month for them to read my meter. I am a veteran, retired from the U.S. Air Force, in my 70's, and I so wish my government would have regulated the tech industry to provide better protection against these energy fields.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Sayer Ji, geoengineering.org Arianna Masters and the geo fight have A LOT of scientific evidence that EMFs, radio frequencies .. are harming us. In many ways. Please include the mold piece when studying. I am very sensitive to it as was my son. EMFs can and do cause heart attacks. The small cells now everywhere have done nothing to help the internet.. they cause fires, they are an absolute eyesore and they are doing nothing but keeping us going to the doctor. Please investigate for our health. Stop the fcc from putting this crap up everywhere. Stop chemical spraying from planes, stop weather control haarp and trying to control what God already has control of. Please.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Sayer Jai, Arianna Masters, the geofight, geoengineeringwatch.org, skywatch, clear sky initiative all have A LOT of evidence and I hope you work with them all. The small cells are an eyesore and they do nothing but keep us going to the doctors. I would check into the amount of heart attacks that occur due to dirty electricity and EMFs. I have sensitivity to them, I can feel them, especially in conjunction with mold. Please study the mold and EMFs, my son also had sensitivity and I believe heavy metals and EMFs and dirty electricity caused his death. It causes heart attacks, among other health issues of many people I know. I am not a Scientist, I am a human and that’s my evidence. Please look into and stop chemtrails, EMFs, haarp and small cells everywhere, or protect us from them. I do not consent to spraying anything in the air, they are not contrails, they are aluminum strontium barium and other awful small particles. They have caused a chronic cough in me. Thank you for listening. Praying you all connect the dots and do the right thing.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Sweden, Greater Stockholm Area 2026-10-09 Hi, Together with among others The Swedish Radiation Protection Foundation ( https://www.stralskyddsstiftelsen.se/english/ ) who partly share info etc. with US Children´s Health Defense, I´ve been doing much appreciated volunteer work since 2016 informing och also practically helping a great number of fellow human beings to better understand the many both short term and long term adverse health effects in connection to various types of EMR/EMFs... via e.g. our "dumbphones", WiFi, nearby situated HIGH-radiating base stations vs primarily now 4G+ and 5G. As RFK Jr and many more people also are WELL aware of there is a WIDE range of adverse health effects many people in many countries suffer and witness from - me partly included when it comes to primarily so far HIGH-radiatiing WiFi-systems and nearby placed base stations. The most direct adverse health effects I myself and MANY more I´ve come in contact with since 2016 include various forms of direct effects such as poor concentration, tiredness, fatigue, various degrees of headache, dizzines and anxiety + an overall feeling of "stress"; stress not that strange since several parts of our nervous system reacts to the more or less constant exposure of EMR/EMFs from various wireless sources in connection to also "smart homes" and/or "smart workplaces". As RFK Jr may also be aware of in connection to The Swedish Radiation Protection Foundation and their highly important 30 minute documentary "5G - The Untold Story" - we here in Sweden since at least 2020 have more and more people WITNESSING OF ALSO MORE SEVERE ADVERSE HEALTH EFFECTS from among other sources CLOSELY SITUATED 5G BASE STATIONS... rapidly leading to severe health effects such as heart palpitations and/or heart arythmias, nose bleeds, dire dizziness, various degrees of tinnitus/ringing in the ears, pain in various parts of the body and... often an apparent feeling of need to escape from e.g. this or that exposed apartment, workplace, store etc. etc. ONE out of many other aspects of the wirelessly connected society that many countries/governments (partly vs an evil basic global agenda) have allowed to linger on is - as you know - the since many years back now WAY TOO HIGH SET "safety guidelines" for various types of EMR/EMFs in e.g. Sweden. These now very old and out-of-date "safety" guidelines ASAP NEED TO BE SUBSTANTIALLY LOWERED to even be able to be called "safety guidelines". And in connection to this one first step to asap establish/re-create a more healthy environment vs EMR/EMFs is to (as also Swedish prof. Lennart Hardell puts it) DISMANTLE THE WHOLE 5G NETWORK... also partly in connection to that few people (politicians, the wireless industry, responsible authorities etc.) so far seem UNABLE to explain what good purposes the whole 5G thing really brings......... THANK YOU so much HHS (RFK Jr and many more) for now also this initiative letting all voices in this crucially important matter be heard... so that as many countries and fellow human beings as possible asap hopefully can start functioning more in connection to the basic biological beings we are - i.e. humans who basically do NOT work well with even lower levels of artificially produced EMR/EMFs, constantly messing with large parts of our biological bodies and minds. MAHA and MEHA (Make Earth Healthy Again) greetings from Sweden, Magnus Rosberger (co-admin for Sweden´s largest Facebook-group vs EMR/EMFs - https://www.facebook.com/groups/408666892574591 )

Describes severe neurological, cardiac and other symptoms beginning after smart-meter installation, attri…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
It started in 2011, when a smart meter was put on the house. I began noticing a burning sensation on my skin, the kind that felt like a radiation burn—flushing, tingling, pins and needles that settled hardest around my head and chest. Headaches followed, excruciating migraines that would not let up. My eyes felt jiggly and unstable. There was a constant internal vibration, as if something inside me was humming. Weakness set in, then deeper weakness in my arms and legs, along with trembling. My joints ached and went numb. One eyelid began to droop. My heart raced. Shortness of breath came with it, and chest pain that felt like the start of a heart attack. I grew faint and, more than once, passed out. Vertigo made the room tilt. My ears hurt. Sleep disappeared; insomnia left me awake through the night. Nausea turned into vomiting. My stomach stayed unsettled. I could not keep enough fluid in me and felt dehydrated. Through all of it ran a heavy malaise, the sense that my whole system was failing. I would get “sunburnt” sitting inside the car. The signals bounce around the metal interior and pass through the body. It was a long road to discovering the culprits. Exposure leaves me basically disabled. The triggers include dirty electricity, ungrounded electricity, surveillance cameras, cell-phone signals, electric transmission lines, electric cars, smart dashes, smart watches, smart televisions, Wi-Fi, 5g, LED lights (I can use only incandescent bulbs), and anything that emits a microwave signal. We sold our forever home at a loss and moved to a remote place with no cell service and no smart meter. I keep only hardwired electronics, an old landline, and older appliances with no smart features. After moving-I secured a new job that was in an all electronically wired building. I left my job after the building allowed cell phones inside and installed Wi-Fi printers. Before that it had been a high-security workplace where everything stayed wired, and that had been tolerable until that point. I cannot go into a store or sit in traffic among other people’s phones. Stepping back to this necessity lifestyle has used up our monetary resources. I can't earn an income. To understand what had happened to me, I read the work of Dietrich Klinghardt, Joseph Mercola, Martin Pall, and Mark A. Plinsky. I have also found a few organizations that offer a lot of information on how to avoid and remediate emfs and rfs in every day life. The complaints I live with—the skin burning, the crushing headaches, the fatigue and weakness, the heart symptoms, the ear pain and jaw pain, the internal vibrations, the dizziness, and the insomnia—match the cluster those sources describe in people who attribute their illness to electromagnetic fields. The setup required to minimize my illness is very isolating. It would be good for the American public to be more informed. This is a very real problem. It is a health emergency for many. I believe that folks don't know what is happening to them-and doctors/caregivers don't know where to look for answers-as this is not generally recognized as a mainstream problem. It should be.

Bonjour Je témoignage que les ondes non naturelles et même l'électricité "sale" à des effets néfastes voire dangereuses sur m'organise humain Cela m'a causé de nombreux problèmes de santé (coeur, articulaires, insomnies notamment certains jours plus que d'habitude,..) Notamment, la 5G peut être plus dangereux que les précédentes antennes. Mon animal de compagnie a perdu la vie en 6 mois après l'installation de 5G dans mon quartier. Moi-même j'ai eu des douleurs au niveau du col du fémur. Cela ne part avec aucun médicaments ni d'exercice physique. Il faut juste que je quitte mon domicile et partir loin des ondes, mais cela est devenu qui impossible si on recherche la civilisation surtout en France c'est la folie....

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
How I became EMF sensitive. I am 73 years old and I think, I was in my early 30's when my husband got us a new phone. He was so amazed, he could walk out of our apartment onto the sidewalk and still could talk and be heard on the other end. We keep this phone in our bedroom unfortunately. I learned many years later, the body repairs itself when we sleep. So, this phone was not letting us repair our bodies during the night. I remember, I had an one hour conversation on that phone and my head was hot and I was a bit disoriented. I made a note to myself, not to use that phone for long calls etc. I got a job working the front desk of a chiropractors office. For 13 years I sat in front of a computer, working 8 hours a day. At one point I got divorced and was walking through a Farmer's Market and this women had a cellphone. They used to have a big long antenna and she was moving her head up and down, left and right and I could feel the antenna energy, cutting through my head. You can immage, I was trying to distance myself from this lady. I eventually moved from Los Angeles to Norwalk California and moved into a mobile home. By this I was about 51 years old. Mobile homes are kind of close to each other and for some reason, I didn't like sleeping in the bed room. I preferred sleeping on the couch in the living room, against a wall, that had a switch, that turned of the energy from the electric socket. During this time, I was working out of my home and was on the computer a lot, plus I had a telephone and internet access through a satelite dish. During this time, I had a basal cell and saw a macrobiotic couselor who cured herself from a very heavy cancer. She recommended a few things to me: get rid of the satelite dish, spend less time on the compure and follow her macrobiotic diet. It took 1 year and 7 months but the basal cell was no longer cancerous. I also, looked out my bedroom window and I had 6 satelite dishes on the corner of each mobile home: my mobile home, my right neifhbor, across of him/ my right, the Mobile home directly across from me, the mobile home to my left kitty corner from me and the one to my left. That is WAY TO MUCH EXPOSURE. No wonder I didn't like sleeping in my bed room. So, I stop using Satelites for entertainment etc. At 61 I moved to Albuquerque New Mexico and they are one the top 7 states for cellphones towers. When I was 62 years I moved into a cooperative apartment complex. After 3 montjhs I started having symtoms: could only get 2 hours of sleep, I was having moments: I would loose consciousness for a few seconds, heart palpations, headaches that were very painful: like a knife was cutting through my head, tinnitus, skin rashes. Luckily I figured out what was happening to me and took steps to lower my exposure to EMF's. So, I went to a senior center and as I got closer to it, I noticed it had a cellphone tower directly across from the senior center. As I walked in, I over heard a conversation: Mary passed out at the senior center, they took her to the hospital and the doctors couldn't figure out why she passed out. I thought, I better not stay here to long, so I signed up for a class and left. As I walked out side, this cellphone tower was full of discs pointing in all directions and Up and down. I walked across the intersection, to stay away from the old cellphone tower and I was now on the sidewalk and the cellphone tower was across from me and I passed out. I must have looked my a drunk and fortunately I caught myself befroe I hit the grown. I thought, went I get home, I am going to do some research on EMF sensitivity. I learned that my symptoms were probably from EMF's and it recommended to move one's bed at least 5 feet away from the circuit breakers in my apartment. My bed was directly on the other side of were the curcuit breaker was. I 3 days, all my symstoms went a way except of the tinnitus. I was still getting occasional powerful headaches went I took a bus: which had wifi. I called comcast and asked them to turn off the wifi on the modum they gave me. 3 years later, I found out eventually that comcast not only turned the wifi back on each month when they rebooted their system but they also had a community wifi. So I was being double exposed. Not knowing this, I also never turned the comcast modem off and slept withing 5 feet of the modem. So, I was lucky, I caught it before permanent damage was done. This is how I live now: no refrigerator, not hot water tank, turned off all circuit breakers except for electric oven and kitchen electric sockets. I have no more symptoms. Except I have had moments: they were do some work through Albuquerque, to lay foundations for fiber optics Check out Great risk for EU, U.S. and International Health!

A retired conservationist and former local official reports sensitivity and cardiac and neurological symp…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My name is Frederick P Sinclair Jr I am a retired Soil and Water Conservationist who for thirty five years tended to resource protection as leader of the Conservation District covering over 600,000 acres within Allegany County NY. I witnessed the establishment and implementation of of several environmental protection laws and was expert at the application of SEQR in performing evaluation of environmental impact. I served three terms as a Town Supervisor and one term as County Legislator and was on several community organization and regional boards. I am a current resident of the Town of Alfred and nearby to the Village of Alfred that hosts two higher institutions of learning Suny Alfred and Alfred University. When in the illage I am sensitive to the 11 nearby towers and antenna arreays servicing the area. Within a short exposure during school sessions I experience dizziness, arithmias, tinitus, and have to leave the areas of intense exposure. My home is located a mile from the village, however a tower has been retrofitted with 4GLTE and then 5G during my time in this the retirement home for myself and wife. The tower is 2,000 feet from my home and 3000 feet in elevation, servicing a broad area. I was on the Town Planning Board when they tower company (near my home) sought a permit for modification and our application of SEQR uncovered enough impacts, to the residential property values, to an organic dairy farm grazing animals within 100 yards, a large sugarbush producing maple syrup, and dangers to Mercy Flight emergency routes (altimeter impact) and the local municipal airport traffic. The Town justified and NYS DEC published that and environmental impact statement was requested by the Town. Legal threeats forced the Town to not push for the EIS. I have no wiFi in my home and have also opted out of Smart Metering. I have taken several measures to protect against EMR in my home but still experience Tinnitus and occasional arithmias and live in the shadow of exposure to microwave emissions. The question of allthese sources meeting FCC regulations is a bothersome claim when these regulations are 30 years old and the exposures have increased exponentially. The proof of need to examine and update has and is being submitted. The role of HHS and associated agencies is critical in assuring a livable environment in the future.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am sensitive to WiFi, Bluetooth and cellphone radiation and have had to reorder my life around avoiding it and minimizing exposure (it has a cumulative effect, so as long as my home environment has low levels of RF (wired Internet) etc., I can manage day-to-day exposures). If I hold my phone in my hand for too long, I feel electric charge build up in my arm and neck. If I have to use WiFi to complete a task, my whole body shudders when I turn it off. I get heart palpitations from these things, I sometimes can't be in other people's spaces. I've had to sleep in the car when sleeping at places with WiFi or I ask to unplug it. I always unplug WiFi at hotels. I have purchased products to mitigate exposures. I had to break a lease once because of it and had to sleep in the car during the dead of winter. This has been going on for over a decade and I've experienced that people don't believe me, so I no longer talk about it, but have gone to great lengths to structure my life in such a way to tolerate what I am exposed to. It seems like an issue with oxidative stress buildup. If there's anything that the government can do to regulate EMF pollution, everyone would likely benefit; not just the canaries in the coal mine. Non-human lives as well.
