I have experienced very adverse health impacts from emfs, and wireless radiation, including from cell phones, routers, and smart meters. These effects have included sharp head pains (most common) and also, when the exposure was more intense, pounding heart and heart pains. Twice i have been forced to move out of my apartment or cottage due to unbearable levels of pain. As a result, it has made finding a safe to live extremely, extremely difficult. This inspired me to write numerous articles, which discussed the documented health impacts of emfs. My articles on this topic have appeared in several sites online, including OpEdNews,Dissident Voice, and Global Research. I am putting the link to one of the most recent articles here. https://www.globalresearch.ca/hr-2289-catastrophic-human-health-environment/5923299 and attaching it as a file.

Thank you for the opportunity to submit information regarding biological effects and potential health hazards of low-level, long-term exposure to radiofrequency radiation (RFR). I am providing here some personal comments regarding that topic, as well as some scientific evidence. Part One: Personal Comments (1) I have always kept myself in good physical condition. It was a bit surprising, then, that beginning in mid-2009 I began to experience frequent ringing in the ears and strange, repetitive lower-GI symptoms. (2) In 2014 I began experiencing neuropathy in both feet. Shortly thereafter both hands went numb. My feet began to be cold all the time. I consulted my doctor. He suggested Raynaud's Syndrome as a tentative diagnosis. (3) In 2016 new symptoms began. In addition to ringing in the ears and neuropathy in hands and feet, I had intermittent night sweats, urinary urgency, occasional severe eye pain, intermittent tachycardia, and rapid development of varicosity in the veins of both lower legs. (4) After researching my strange array of symptoms, I hypothesized that they might be caused by high-frequency sounds emanating from motorized equipment atop a building a few blocks away. I sound-proofed my bedroom. That didn't help. I tried sleeping in a different room on the other side of the house where I seemed to be less symptomatic. That did help, yet I couldn't imagine why. (5) In 2017 I learned that pulsed microwaves from wireless communications technology can induce some or all of the symptoms I was experiencing. I purchased a meter for measuring RFR as well as one for measuring AC magnetic and electric fields. We switched off our WiFi-enabled Internet router, opting instead for wired-only (Ethernet) connectivity. We shielded a wall in my bedroom where WiFi was coming in from the house next door. (6) Most of the newer, more concerning symptoms dropped away within a few months after implementing our mitigation measures. No more tachycardia. No more night sweats. No more severe eye problems. No more numbness in my hands—I could sign my name again! (7) Since 2018 I continue to have varicose veins in my legs. (Once contorted, veins cannot return to normal.) Recent tests reveal I have "chronic venous insufficiency" in both legs. (8) By experimenting with different environments and measuring the levels of RFR that “trigger" my symptoms, I've discovered that any space, indoor or outdoor, where RFR peaks at more than about 300 microwatts per square meter is unhealthy for me. Lingering for more than about 15 minutes in such a place can cause a feeling of malaise involving fatigue and lower GI discomfort, plus "brain fog" and possibly a headache. I also typically experience "buzzing" or burning sensations in my lower legs. Essentially, I am now sensitive to all forms of wireless communication technology. I am also triggered by AC magnetic fields emanating from home appliances that have fairly powerful electrical motors (vacuum cleaners, refrigerator, clothes washer). (9) I discovered a couple of years ago that PG&E installed "smart" (RFR-emitting) electricity meters in our neighborhood in January of 2009. Perhaps those are the original inciting stressors. (10) Our use of WiFi from 2011 to 2017, as well as our neighbor's adoption of WiFi beginning in 2014, may have caused the amplification of my symptoms during those years. Part Two: Scientific Evidence Regarding Biological Effects and Potential Health Effects Together with two colleagues, in 2018 I measured ambient levels of RFR in four residential neighborhoods in Davis, California. Our goal was to find out how much RFR exists and what frequencies are present. The essence of what we learned is this: (i) the level of RFR varies greatly, from a low of just 2 to as much as 20,000 microwatts per square meter, (ii) all neighborhoods are "saturated" with RFR from mobile phone base stations (cell towers). In 2021 and 2022 I participated in a worldwide RFR-measuring campaign. The results may be viewed at the website GlobalEMF.net. The project revealed that power density of RFR along streets in the downtown areas of many cities exceeds 10,000 or even 100,000 microwatts/m2. Unfortunately, environmental levels of RFR peaking above about 1,000 microwatts/m2, and especially those peaking above 10,000 microwatts/m2, are associated with biological effects of a neurological, cardiovascular, or neuroendocrine origin. Various peer-reviewed papers published since the late 1980s, and especially since about 2000, together reveal that the pathophysiological symptoms are of biochemical and biophysical origin. The mechanism of action involves nitric oxide and peroxynitrite and various complex and interconnected biochemical pathways intrinsic to the human body (and to other forms of life). I'm uploading a 2007 review paper by Pacher, Beckman, and Liaudet that aids in understanding the breadth of the potential pathophysiological symptoms. Also provided: an outline.

Here's a three minute video containing data that is published science, testing results, or public standards including the serious detrimental effects of these over-powerful man-made radiation frequencies. Please watch it. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1748284186236212 In my home office I experienced disabling head pain, frightening heart palpitations, shortness of breath and brain fog leading to an inability to think. It took me AVOIDING my office to figure it out. After spending nearly two years refusing Xcel Energy access to install a smart meter, Xcel and the Colorado Public Utilities Commission FORCED US TO INSTALL THE SMART METER, A RADIATION EMITTING DEVICE, or Xcel Energy would shut our electric power off. When Xcel threatened us I was desperate to learn how to protect our live bodies. Constant research about radiation frequencies, including dirty electricity that's inherent in our power grid from 42% wind and solar power delivered to our house... I purchased SaticShield and Aulterra products to shield, filter and "retune" the POWERFUL man-made smart meter radiation and technology frequencies constituting interference with our natural live electrical bodies; including the wifi router, cell phones, laptop, desktop and big screen tv. We applied individual products to the technology devices, a whole house filter to our electrical lines and each of our automobiles. We wear the protection on our bodies as well. Finally the buzzing in my head reduced some and sleep was improved some. We shielded the FORCED UPON US smart meter from pulsing extremely heavy loads of radiation into our kitchen where we stand to cook and walk past EVERY DAY. What do people do that can't afford to mitigate the harmful health effects? Or those that don't know a silent killer is frequenting them every day practically all day and all night? I can't imagine the terror moms and dads have over their young children being constantly bombarded by man made radiation frequencies that disturb the young and old alike and do damage to the DNA level to every live member of mankind, animal kind and plant kind! Yes, the radiation frequencies did not raise my body temperature but they certainly harmed my everyday life!!! The radiation and dirty electricity are sneaky. People are unaware of the huge dirty electricity readings caused by led lights, dimmers, florescent lights, and all those aforementioned technological devices. I'm absolutely appalled by a small town in Iowa where family lives... placing frequency devices DIRECTLY ON all the town's people's WATER TOWER!!! Are you kidding? The corporate officials that took money to do that ought to be ousted in the public square! Those frequencies directly on the water tower destroy the structure of water so desperately needed by every living thing. Stop this madness. Denial is the problem because there's too powerful much money to be made by continuing down this path! The truth is not hidden from the All Mighty. The number one job of "government" is to protect the people and their assets. DO IT.

My first experience with EMFs was in the year 2000 when I purchased my first cell phone it was a 2g/3g. The adverse effects I began experiencing was trouble sleeping and headaches. So, I decided to remove the cell phone from my bedroom and the problems with sleeping and waking up with headaches stopped. As an IT professional, I asked the question why and started doing some research. Distance is key to reducing exposure and learning simple convenience changes. I began studying and researching the biological effects that man-made EMF exposures have on humans and other living organisms for years. My studies and research with health care professionals, scientists, researchers, journalists , EMF Mitigation professionals and Building biologists. We are bioelectrical systems and environmental exposure to artificial EMFs interact with fundamental biological processes in the human body and all life on this planet for example the BEEs. My next major challenge was in 2011, I could no longer work in electronic environments, because of my sensitivity to all of the electro-pollution that has now filled our environments. I cannot take airplane trips, be in large crowds, and going into to town is overwhelming on my nervous system. I live in Rural area in Nature where this is little exposure to the EMF toxins. I can feel the difference when I am in a Natural harmonic environment vs the city full of electro-pollution. I am living with Electro-hypersensitivity. When I am overwhelmed, it takes days for me to recover. I have experienced the following symptoms: Trouble Sleeping Headaches and migrancies difficulty concentrating dizziness irritability Heart palpitations, irregular heartbeats, fast heartrate fatigue weakness depression ringing in the ears the phone when it rings sends a painful shock through my body I now help people with EMF mitigation support, education as to source awareness, safer products, potential Health and well-being consequences, EMF mitigations and simple things they can do to reduce their health and well-being exposure. We have to consider EMFs as just one of the many possible factors in the Rising wave of chronic illness.

Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure pose health harms to humans. Although we had our own smart meter in SoCal removed prior to moving into our home, upon move-in I suddenly developed heart abnormalities and skin redness and burning. We had our property thoroughly tested by an EMF/EMR specialist, and it was determined that the source was not our residence, but our next door neighbor's, whose meter was about 50 feet away from our bedrooms. Although we offered to pay, that individual refused to have her meter replaced, despite my pleas based on medical reasons. She did agreed to have a specialized meter cover installed (at our expense), and that helped reduce symptoms, but ultimately I was forced to move to another state to avoid being exposed to the high levels of radiation.

Hello Belgium speaking here I live in hell since 2016 My everyday life has become à deadly fight, more and more particularly since 2024. From headache to nausea, dizziness, body ache, high heartrate, lack of sleep, pain full tingling all over my body and MORE

Thank you for allowing me to give input on electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure and human health. Numbers related to questions are provided. (2) I am an individual consumer. (3) I am a retired Navy Journalist. I served as a broadcast journalist and was stationed overseas in the 80’s and 90’s. I lived and worked next to broadcast satellite dishes, air stations, ship radar systems and worked with various other unique technologies throughout my career. I served as a Web Manager for an Army headquarter command for about a decade and was a huge fan of using and learning technology until suddenly, I could not tolerate exposure. (a, b, c) I am affected by radiofrequency (RF) radiation and pulse-modulated RF radiation. Cell phones, DECT phones, wearables or anything that I touch will cause an immediate reaction (burning, skin redness, pain, headache, high frequency sound, heart palpitations, dizziness, hair standing up on arms, impaired vision etc). A downward spiraling of symptoms will follow depending on strength of signal and amount of time exposed to include muscle pain, brain fog, insomnia, fatigue, weakness, and irritability. I can feel and must take action to move away from someone that is using a cell phone within 5 feet of me and I am affected at a slower and more generalized frequency and degree if I am in the vicinity of wireless frequencies (sitting in a doctor’s office, inside a store etc). It takes hours to recuperate depending on strength of signal and duration of exposure. It makes the most sense that I have long-term cumulative exposure but honestly, I do not know. (d) I suddenly became unable to tolerate even short-term exposures after an injury to my spine and nerves after a drunk driver hit me from behind while sitting at a red light in 2007. It took years to understand what was happening. I had irregular symptoms that doctors did not recognize and had never seen. In 2013, I attempted to follow the scientific method and added and took away each piece of technology in my home until it became clear that I needed to remove anything having to do with wireless technology (modem, laptop, DECT phone (horrible!) etc. (e) I met with neurologists, primary doctors, and therapists (mental and physical) looking for answers. In the early years, some suggested that I get mental counseling. Over the years, doctors became more open to believing me and ultimately attempted to protect me from exposure. Current Doctors agree that the science and human health studies have not caught up with the fast pace that society is introducing this technology. (f) I now have everything in my home hard-wired. There is no “treatment” that I am aware of. The only treatment that has worked for me is to limit exposure. This is challenging in today’s environment. I must remain aware of the equipment and devices that are around me (ipads, TV’s, appliances, security cameras, vehicles etc) as they put out their own signals. I live in a city, and they have built cell towers/added amplification to increase coverage while also increasing the strength of the signals that are being transmitted. All of these actions have been taken without proper studies of human health and what it is doing to the environment. I understand that both low and high frequencies can be harmful. If I could offer any advice for people, it would be to use “wired” versus “wireless” at every chance possible. Once the sensitivity sets in then life changes. (g) I spent years looking for peer reviewed science. It wasn’t until I found bioinitiative.org and the thousands of studies that it contains that I learned that I was not the only one suffering. I still have a voice and have created a safe environment at my home, but I know there are many children and seniors and disabled who cannot speak for themselves and may not even understand that exposure is actually worsening their symptoms.

Posting for a Friend that wishes to remain anonymous. We'll call the person Jade. Here is Jade's Story: I was comfortable and healthy. In 2010, when my area switched from analog to radio utility meters (aka "SMART" meters), and T.V.s were switched form analog to digital, I went from feeling comfortable in my bedroom and in the world, to very uncomfortable. It took a while to figure out what was going on. I met others that were suffering and felt great dis-ease with this technology. Also more towers and antennas were added to the hill outside my bedroom window. I learned that by turning off or unplugging electronics, I felt well again. Also re moving myself to a healthy location, I immediately felt well again. This horror/toxic trespass has changed my life. Can you imagine how difficult it can be to find a safe and healthy place to live and to work? I did a count of 100 people in my everyday life. It turns out 20% of them felt ill around this technology, ie. man-made, toxic non-ionizing radiation. I figured that probably about 2x as many (40%) are not feeling well around it. They were just not aware of the symptoms of radio poisoning. Not connecting the dots. I later read that scientists that had studied the matter came up with the same results (40% of the population suffering in an obvious way)! We have over 50,000 published peer-reviewed studies showing harm from these non-native emfs, including pollinator collapse, childhood leukemia, and cancerous tumors, ill health of insects and animals and plants, problems affecting the brain, the heart, the blood, the DNA, due to this technology. It is the fiduciary responsibility of the government to protect the health, welfare and safety of the people. A Swedish oncologist, in the early 1900's, wisely said that Anything that is harmful to one living cell is harmful to all living cells. I think this is true. Never put tracking devices on insects or animals! These days my symptoms around too much radio/microwave frequency include: stress, fatigue, pain in the ears and head, feeling frazzled, heart palpitations and general discomfort. How many are feeling ill and not connecting the dots? How many doctors are not connecting the dots? We must take an honest look at this non-native and harmful technology now. We must protect life on Planet earth for all to thrive.Landlines, ethernet, cable and wired technology are much safer than wireless. Let's use and encourage wired tech as much as possible. If not now, when will you take your fiduciary responsibilty seriously, and mindfully curb and regulate this technology, so that life may thrive once again? Thank you for hearing us, Anonymous Jade

This is my second attempt to submit comments. I tried multiple times to submit to no avail. I live in Anchorage, Alaska. My physical and mental health have been significantly impacted by the installation of the smart grid technology in Anchorage. The first "jolt," that plummeted me into electro-hyper-sensitivity was in 2018 when the smart meters were installed on the homes in our neighborhood. I was able to keep the electric company at bay but I was finally forced to have a meter installed on our home-- the consequence was disconnection from centralized electricity at the beginning of the Alaska winter. I have had a variety of symptoms for the last 8 years-- a constant feeling of being electrocuted/microwaved being the thing that never changes. Other symptoms are: high blood pressure, interrupted sleep, an "on-edge" nervous system, tingling in hands and feet, breast swelling, ringing in the ears. The quality of my life has become worse. I am 79 years old and am in otherwise good health. All of my symptoms relate to the constant bombardment of emf's coming from the smart meters (and through the home wiring creating dirty electricity) and the towers. I have found that I feel like my old self with none of these symptoms, when I get out of Anchorage and our of range of cell towers.
