Children & vulnerable groups

It's unbelievably crazy that dangerous levels of EMF pollution has been allowed to be forced into our lives without proper safety testing through multiple independent (and un-bribable) testing groups. Is the toxic soup we're all bathing in through ever-increasing cellular speeds, wifi, etc.safe for children and adults? It seems as if our government has sold us out to the companies with the deepest pockets, keeping its citizens sick, fat, and dumb on purpose through the hundreds of thousands of toxic chemicals and frequencies that have become ubiquitous in "normal" American lives. It's truly no wonder why we're the most chronically sick nation on the planet. I support any legislation making it illegal (and criminally punishable) for companies, individuals, and our own government to poison our citizens. And so should EVERY lawmaker we elect and every government employee we hire from this point on. It's time to care for the PEOPLE, not the corporatocracy that sacrifices human health and wellness for profit. Just like the fall of Rome, we have lost our way and have allowed psychopaths to control our health. It's time to right these wrongs and put the wellness of our people at the forefront of our political goals and agendas. Anyone, regardless of wealth and stature, who fails to do so should be immediately investigated and held accountable. And absolutely NO 6G unless and until it's determined to be safe for even our most vulnerable children, elders, and those who are sick!

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 Parent and wife. Our family and kids are very sensitive to these types of addictions. Our sleep has been disrupted. My kids wake 3-5 times a night. They walk around like zombies some days because of the lack of sleep. My husband and I are restless at night because of the constant buzzing. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence. 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.

I am a woman who has been living with three smart meters near to my bedroom. Since living there I have experienced brain fog, headaches body aches and other discomforts associated with high EMF exposure. , I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence.

Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.

It’s time to do the right thing. I wouldn’t want to face God one day knowing I have hurt many of my brothers and sisters because I did nothing. That guilt will be on you. Over the past several decades, wireless technology and infrastructure have exploded, transforming the environment in which we live, work, learn, and raise our children. Yet the federal guidelines used to determine the safety limits for exposure to wireless radiation are decades old and have not kept pace with the rapid expansion of wireless technology or the growing body of scientific research raising concerns about its effects on human health and the environment. Our children deserve better. They deserve to grow up in an environment where their health and safety are prioritized and where technology is supported by meaningful, up-to-date science—not assumptions based on outdated guidelines.  Please act. This needs to be remedied. Regards, Sheila Salce May God be with you +++

All my grandchildren and my children are having flu like symptoms. One of my grandchildren has temperatures as high as 103.5. Told by medical to come to ED if 104. This is lack of knowledge of the medical personnel. There are towers all around my family. Now we are having windmills and solar panels and possibly a data center. Church bells give off a frequency that will give one goosebumps. Music puts out a frequency that will give one goosebumps if good frequency (e.g. If I Could Dream by Elvis Presley) and destroy your inner peace if bad frequency (e.g., Travis Scott Concert). At the beginning of COVID 19, Carnival Cruises had just put in 5G. Many passengers positive for COVID. Also the most death cases in the countries were Italy and US. First countries to have 5G. There are others. Five G is a death current. Frequency is not good.

I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. My adult disabled daughter is very electrically sensitive. She started having seizures (an electrical storm in the brain) after Hep B vaccine as a newborn. Since then we’ve mostly managed her seizures through a careful diet. But starting in 2020, she was having grand mal seizures every few weeks or months. This spring we removed the radio in her room which emitted high EMFs and we started turning off Wifi and flipping off the breaker to her room at night. Knock on wood, she hasn’t had a seizure since. Our human bodies are electrical systems. It’s not rocket science to understand that we are sensitive to frequencies around us, but most of us are so plugged in that we don’t realize our ailments can be associated with these exposures. Thank you for providing us with an opportunity to be considered. Not everyone has seizures, but we humans are electrical systems being impacted in ways often unrealized, unmeasured and untreated.

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, wellness consultant and grandmother. It is imperative HHS address the issue of the harms caused by incessant EMF exposure. I had the opportunity to live in a low EMF building an my health and mental emotional well being improved dramatically and also met many individuals who had been damaged by EMF exposure who had heart issues and culd no longer tolerate any exposure without experiencing extreme debilitating symptoms, like tremors, migraines, heart palpitations, dizziness, flu symptoms and more. I fear for the children with phones and ipads and constant exposure at home via smart meters and other smart devices, and at school. Their brains are more vulnerable than adults. The power output on routers can be dramatically reduced without compromising connectivity. We need to switch to fiber optics. We are killing the bees and wildlife with these frequencies. We are destroying our planet for convenience. Please take corrective measre and educate the public in the meantime about protective measures. Tell the FCC to change the allowed frequencies and testing to reflect the new levels of radiation being used. The courts ordered them to di so and they simply disobeyed. Enforcment please. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence. 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.

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, parent, family member, caregiver, healthcare professional, researcher, advocate, concerned member of the public, or other]. Tell HHS how wireless radiation has affected a close friend, I support people affected by wireless radiation and why you believe HHS should address this issue. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence. As a concerned father and grandfather citizen of the United States 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.

See attached for my complete response to questions 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 15, and 18. 3. My experiences/adverse health effects associated with exposure to RF/EMFs: I first experienced adverse health effects from RF/EMF when my employer went wireless in the conference rooms. Hindsight sleep disturbances I had attributed to menopause went away after opting out of the automatic meter reader, precursor to the SMART meter. c) adverse health effects experienced: neurologic effects loss of fine motor skills left sided delays impaired concentration/foggy thinking vertigo heart palpitations thyroid nodules and increased vascularity difficulty regulating blood glucose tinnitus sleep disturbances electric feeling in hands and legs headaches fatigue during exposure insomnia following exposure d) When health effects appeared relative to exposure Thyroid abnormalities were first observed by ultrasound in October 2014, three months after my employer went wireless in the conference rooms. By October of 2017 ultrasound was showing two nodules (abnormal growths). In July of 2018 I move to an office in a remote location within the building and was attending all meetings virtually with wired technology. My November 2018 ultrasound showed the nodules were gone! f) steps taken to reduce exposure; subsequent changes in adverse health effects got rid of cordless telephone opted out of automatic meter reader, precursor to the SMART meter, and later the SMART meter attended work meetings virtually from my private office moved my office to a low RF/EMF location in the building and later telecommuted fromm home full time used vacation to create a three day weekend to recover from the adverse effects of RF/EMF so that I could continue working no longer own a cell phone avoid public places and try to limit trips to town to once a month drive back roads avoid major metro areas have no wireless devices in my home Reducing exposure in the workplace resulted in resolution of thyroid nodules which had developed subsequent to employer transitioning to wireless devices. Other adverse health effects also improved with avoidance of RF/EMF. g) supporting documentation I have thyroid ultrasound reports which document adverse changes in thyroid. I have taken meter readings when experiencing RF/EMF adverse health effects that are well below 0.1µW/m2. Research related to the effect of RF radiation on the thyroid: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451508/ 5. n) What changes would improve assessment, disclosure, and regulation of wireless radiation exposure? Regulation RF/EMF needs regulation, not just guidelines Biological harm needs to be addressed regulations need to be set based on how devices are actually used i.e. cell phones against the body and the multiplicity of exposure RF/EMF health and safety standards need to be based on long term exposure not just from individual devices but ambient levels The FCC is not a health organization. Establishing health safety standards for RF/EMF exposure should be transferred to HHS or NIH. They should work collaboratively with FDA, EPA and OSHA. Disclosure The American people deserve full disclosure. p) How should a classification system account for exposure-related characteristics, including operating frequency, power density, specific absorption rate (SAR), electric- and magnetic-field strength, modulation and pulse characteristics, duty cycle, beamforming, simultaneous exposure to multiple frequencies, duration of exposure, distance from the source, proximity to the body, and cumulative exposure over time? All of these are important. The ones of greatest concern to me are: pulse modulated wave form including the peak amplitude simultaneous and cumulative exposure power density and duration of exposure frequency beam formation 11. Should exposure assessment or risk evaluation differ for sensitive populations? Yes, children’s skulls are thinner, their brains contain more fluid and are still developing. A failure to consider these differences would constitute gross negligence. 18. Please identify any additional scientific evidence, technical information, data, or recommendations that federal health agencies should consider when evaluating potential adverse health effects associated with RF/EMF radiation exposure. Federal health agencies should promote a precautionary stance. Wired technology should be encouraged whenever possible in homes, schools, medical facilities, workplaces, and other public businesses. Action should be taken to establish RF/EMF free areas in public places such as medical facilities similar to what was done for smoking.
