Reports electrosensitivity and symptoms improving with lower exposure, recounts relatives’ cognitive and …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
HHS, I am someone who has seen more harms and disease via wireless technologies than most. I am electrosensitive; my grandpa told me of my inherited ability to sense energies when we were close during his lifetime; turns out we are sensitive to human energy and EMF. My grandparents lived on acreage WA. Wireless coverage was poor but existed. Acreage was sold to a wireless company by a neighboring farm, & a large cell tower was installed on the property next to my grandparents' house. "Coincidentally," after tower installation, my grandma began to have memory problems, which she not had before, and leg swelling that was also ususual. My grandpa began to have bad insomnia; sleep disturbances contributed to his dementia, developing over the following years. My grandpa & grandma had personality changes, with new memory impairment, and physical symptoms, including inability to sleep, right after tower installation next to their property. Before this period, they were unusually high functioning cognitively for their age, which they attributed to God and eating mostly plant based diets. Yet for grandparents, the age related decline often seems to be, at least partly the result of new technology around them, yet harms can be put off as age related. During my years as a caregiver, I saw clients from all backgrounds & diseases, but most were over 60. Every time there was dementia, or new mental impairment, like sudden memory problems, I saw the introduction of new tech into their lives: tower facing room, wifi in their room, new smart phone/5g. There was a connection every time; elderly are vulerable groups to diseases & harms causes by EMF's. Now about me: 1st time I sensed RF-EMF directly aware was from my phone that disturbed me. I was 12, and I got my first flip phone; I awoke from sleep literally 1 second BEFORE ringing began. Pattern repeated: I noticed the phone is waking me up, but what is waking me up is something other than light or sound. ITS THE RADATION! Over the years, I began to become more and more SENSITIVE to radiation/EMF. After vaccine injury @13, where I received 2 vaccines containing aluminum & mercury, I had a very bad reaction, physical & psychological. At the time, people tried to convince me my reactions were psychological, but the treatments for such did not help but made everything worse. Some told me there was so way I can be vaccine injured. Yet I chose to not finish vaccine series, when I found out death, paralysis, or premature menopause resulted for many (gardasil). Physical symptoms were significant, but psychological symptoms fit the pattern of aluminum poisoning, combined with EMF: whenever outside home, especially my room, coincidentally farthest away from Wifi & under ceiling with metal pipes in it, I would become anxious or not want to be around people; being in public made me feel like I was literally being electrocuted! Now I see why, years after researching my own health problems, which caused me to find natural solutions on my own... Yet the process took years; I had setbacks many times, & I must admit some were due to more disease causing radiation & EMF's. 2020: both grandmas died; I lived with one of them, & I stayed there awhile after she died. 5G cell is placed on the roof of the house next door--why do they allow such harmful proximity to EMF? After 5G cell, I was unable to RELAX or go to SLEEP until after 12am--I was up right at 7 every morning, unable to sleep in no matter how hard I tried. Melatonin helped some but did not undo symptoms. EMF meter I had measured: off time was 12am & went back on at 7am. My health suffered from the 5g cell; bad insomnia, anxiety, depression, disorganization, headache, malabsorption & pain. After moving, I was unable to not live in houses by a cell tower for years; I mitigated damage by: living in the basement, not having wifi near me, using my phone less/a few hours/turning on airplane mode if not using/off during sleep! Yet, being around Wifi, living near cell towers, hurt my health & mostly mentally. After 2 years, finally living with low radiation, I see health recover, yet I have pain & symptoms recur if around too much EMF: insomnia, headaches, anxiety, depression, fogginess, disorganization, joint pain, irritability, numbness. Daily I see how decreasing EMF helps my health--I want to help others see damages being done to their health by EMF! EMF's daily exposure, controlling as much as possible, I was able to heal. Writing my letter on airplane mode, I can think better. In nature, I can be my full self: no EMF. Interference to human connection is EMF too! Important: every time near cell tower, or wifi modem, or a lot of computers, I feel pain to some degree--radiation mostly alters how I feel, thinking, or sleep. Yet great research exists showing health harms caused by EMF. Please help us! Dr. Martin Pall is one of the foremost researchers on EMF's--PDF 90+ pages of quality research is found on: radiationresearch.org.

A physician discusses neuroinflammatory symptoms and developmental vulnerability, reports children’s impr…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Physician of 21 years experience, with past 15 years focusing on practical application of metabolic/physiologic principles toward the discovery of root cause drivers of common diseases and various symptoms. Past 10 years have professionally and personally encountered peculiar, and often very severe, symptoms that must be classified as neuroinflammatory in nature. Concern: our modern world now presents an unplanned, and unprecedented, number of physiologic stressors to the human physiology. There are likely subpopulations who are more vulnerable; likely, individuals who are in developmental phases (from embryo through puberty). Wireless radiation has been introduced to into the homes, schools, and communities of nearly 100% of the population. Therefore, studying the effects of RF on the population is going to be fraught with difficulty. But, we only need to look at the cascade of physical and psychological challenges that seem to be overwhelming our youth to acknowledge that we must pause and think. RF presents a very unqiue situation: we have the neurobiological effects of the various types of radiation and its continuous nature (24hrs/d everywhere) and the media that this RF carries (social media, intense unadulterated "communication"). As physicians, we committed to "first, do no harm." Our government, of the people and for the people, must create regulatory structures that allow individuals, parents, and communities to have confidence that the people they are charged with serving can have freedom to "pursue life, libery, and happiness". The extreme and untested introduction of RF technologies into our communities is irresponsible: this is evidenced by the 1996 Telecommunications Act prohibiting regulation base on "environmental effects", which seem to have been interpreted by courts of law to include health concerns. (Section 704(a). Obviously, our modern economy now relies on telecommunications and to a large extend RF use. Our advanced society can certainly find paths that allow the advancement of technology while protecting the humans who use it. From my personal experience, all 4 of my children began suffering peculiar health problems which became critical in 2017. Fortunately, I had the training and education to discover the drivers of their problems which included the discovery that radiofrequency avoidance was crucial to their health. Prior to moving to a more remote location to protect my family during their developmental period, we lived in the Phoenix region. My oldest son was having severe depression and seizure like activity- serious daily suffering. When I discovered the potential role of RF exposure, I purchased RF blocking fabric and made a tent for him to sleep in. As a physician and scientifically minded professional, I was astonished how much improvement this strange step made. Obviously, we cannot expect ordinary families to know to take, any how to take these steps... instead, their children are being diagnosed with autism, depression, bipolar disorder, or any number of neuropsychiatric diagnoses that are driven by environmental toxins and neuroinflammatory insults to their physiology. It appears the HHS easily discovered the connection between acetaminophen and autism... we can certainly make some sense around the ubiquitous RF exposure to our children (and everyone on the planet) and learn how to properly implement and make productive use of these technologies. Alternatively, we allow science to progress at the expense of a healthy body and mind... and suffer the societal and individual consequences unnecessarily. I am not going to provide redundant information (a simple search of PubMed will reveal at least a decade of discussion; "Havana Syndrome" already proves the point in an extreme manner; we likely already know what is going on since "radar sickness" was immediately identified in the 1970s when the navy introduced radar.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I think cell phones need to be banned. All they do is put out EMF radiation after years and years and years of having these stupid things I think we need to all go back to Landlines and answering machines. The kids have lost all social skills there’s headaches my son even stays up all night long and he’s 13 because he’s addicted to the thing. And then can’t get him up in the morning to go to school because of lack of sleep. He complains of headaches he complains of his eyes hurting, and I tell him is the white light on the cell phones. He sleeps with that thing by his head and there’s been a lot of articles about brain cancer and using your phones where it’s under 30% all it does is put out radiation. They need to be banned. They need to not be allowed in school and I know the schools are saying they have band the Esco the kids are still sneaking out their backpacks and using them my son tells me stories about it just like the vaping someone needs to do something about vaping at school that needs to stop cause they’re doing it in the bathroom.

Requests independent investigation of EMF and RF health effects, questions FCC and corporate independence…

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 member of the public! PLEASE investigate Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure on human health because we can not relay on the FCC or corporations to investigate this matter since the FCC is probably a captured agency of the corporations. It is just common sense to investigate these energy transmissions which can directly impact all humans and especially affect children!! Do you have children?? Your friends have children?? Do your job and protect people before huge, permanent damage is done to USA citizens!!

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
To whom it may concern, I am writing this to express my concern on how this "new" tech is affecting ourselves, our children, the environment and the overall health of all involved. I personally am sensitive to EMF exposure and have and continue to suffer with various symptoms. I should be able to go to concerts etc. without suffering from this tech. It should also NOT be at schools. We need to protect our children. Clearly, hard wired connections work and can be used instead. There is plenty of proof that this tech is harmful and we know the regulations are not in place or working. Please, make changes that will help protect the public. Thanks so much, Mrs. Gentry

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 patient and concerned member of the public. This EMF in our air definitely needs to be addressed for our health to be protected better! EMF's are getting into us everywhere now and it can damage our DNA, brains, etc. My brain is so low on energy and I haven't found a medical specialist who can help me properly. Psychiatrists just want to prescribe meds. I don't want to be hooked on meds that can cause other problems. I ask them if they are brain specialists. ...NO. Just offer meds for the issue. I'm SO THANKFUL FOR the EMF Solutions company that has protective resources!!!! Though I think my brain already has some permanent damage.?? SO SAD that so many kids are on cell phones and unprotected! PLEASE establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.

Reports severe RF sensitivity, symptoms and barriers to work, travel, healthcare and housing, describes a…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am writing in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I’m responding as an individual personally affected by RF and am deeply concerned about the threat to our children’s health. I am one of a growing number of people who cannot remain healthy in the presence of wireless radiation. My symptoms upon exposure are common ones and include heart palpitations, headaches, blurred vision, extreme fatigue, nausea, anxiety, and cognitive impairment. I cannot work outside my home due to this and have great difficulty shopping, receiving medical attention, or going to a restaurant. I cannot safely use airlines, buses, or trains, nor can I rent, drive, or be a passenger in newer cars because they have so much on-board RF. I cannot stay in motels or hotels, and in fact I have not traveled anywhere in five years. I am terrified that should I need to go into a hospital, I will become very ill from RF, possibly losing consciousness and unable to even communicate about the symptoms that will register on medical monitors but whose cause will be unknown to medical staff. RF sensitivity is extremely socially isolating as there few homes and no public places where it is not saturating the environment. I am essentially stranded in increasingly small oases where wireless radiation is low or does not reach. My respite, and the thing that keeps me relatively healthy, is being able to return to and stay in my home, which after much hard work, is EMF free. In this environment my body stabilizes and is healthy, and I can tolerate limited exposures a few times a week in RF-saturated areas. But this refuge in my home has been extremely difficult to create and is constantly threatened by development of cell towers, cell antennae, and 5G deployment. It is virtually impossible to find a rental and very difficult to purchase a home that is not saturated with wireless technology. At age 70 I have finally been able to purchase a healthy home, though I had to move far from friends and family to find something. I live in constant threat of having to pull up stakes and move again (to where?) when cell towers and 5G antennas come to my neighborhood. While a minority of people understand that their symptoms arise from EMF and RF exposure, a great many more suffer from it and are unaware that RF is the cause or a major contributing factor. There is a large body of research confirming that these adverse impacts occur to both those who are aware of their sensitivity and those who are not. Children are so very vulnerable and without knowledgable adults and public institutions to protect them are being harmed in homes, schools, and virtually all public spaces. HHS is uniquely positioned to consolidate existing research, sponsor studies into existing information gaps, and generate policy to protect the public from wireless radiation. Doing so will help ensure more informed decisions about deployment of wireless technologies and make homes, offices, and public spaces healthier for all of us. I sincerely hope HHS will meet this challenge.
