Electromagnetic sensitivity

I am highly sensitive to emf radiation...to the point that I am beridden with brain fog most of the time: the radiation poisoning included low-abd-high frequency tinnitus. Everyone concurs that emf radiation is deadly: I would move but the emf-free zoned a few abd far between. Shame on the government for allowing the slow death of it's citizenry. There will be accountability....

Hi. I suffer from Electro Hypersensitivity, which has limited my life drastically, caused the end of my marriage, and caused me 3-4 decades of illnesses no one had any diagnosis for. I now know what it is caused by. After seeing ear specialists, due to the unrelenting tinnitus, and neurologist for the malignant insomnia and migraines, and no one could find anything wrong with me. I had to begin to look out of the box for other explanations. I found this is more common than ai had any idea, and millions like me are suffering from this sensitivity and are simply canaries in the coal mine, showing how harmful this out of control ubiquitous RFR is. I live in a shielded home and use only wired communications. It took me over 10 yrs to learn how to remediate my environment to get as well as I seem to be able to get. I have lost my freedom to travel or even go to visit a friend at their home. I fear needing to go into a hospital with WIFI, as it makes me instantly very sick. I feel there needs to be a total new perspective on the well know adverse health effects of Manmade Radiofrequency Radiation, and a complete revamping of our safty standards. Our old standards set in 1096 are BEYOND outdate and totally wrong. The declassified Naval Military Research documents easily available on the internet, from the 50's and again in the 1970's clearly show evidence of damage to every system of our bodies from this radiofrequency radiation or RFR. Also the study done a few years ago by the National Toxicology Institute shows clear evidence of RFR causing cancer in rats. There are thousands of studies showing this is harmful, and most other first world countries have much more rigid standards. The toxic nature of these emissions and devices needs to be told to the population so they can make informed decision about wiring their homes and using wired communications, if we want to see cancer and a host of thousands of other illness on the rise start to decline. We also need to make safe hospital and doctors offices ASAP so those of us who already are suffering this dis -ease, have a safe place to go for health care. We urgently need to listen to the research that shows carcinogenicity and cellular damage, and start to regulate and educate about this horrific global poisoning, proliferating at lightening speed out of control and causing skyrocketing suffering, diseases, and deaths. If our doctors and our public are kept from this info, our regulatory agencies are essentially killing our population. There are thousands of valid studies showing harm from RFR. http:bioinitiative.org , https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/research/topics/cellphones , "Zapped" By Ann Gittelman (book) and many more. Please work to change legistation that protects populations from installations of cell towers near schools and hospitals, and update safety regulations to protect and educate folks on not carrying these devices on one's body and choosing wired communications being healthier than wireless. It is not until our governments stand up for us and protect us from this that most of the population will listen sadly. We need this as cancer and all kinds of neurological disorders ect are on the rise due to this ubiquitous toxin escalating daily our of control in our world.

Both my wife and I are electrosensitive in that we avoid wi-fi, solar panels and do not use smart phones etc. We are both in our early seventies and have been aware of this issue for much of our lives. One aspect that is rarely given any attention is the role of water in electrosensitivity. Water conducts electricity and this is affected by increases in pH, and the higher or more alkaline the pH the more the mineral content. Electrosensitvity can be assisted by decreasing the mineral content and pH of drinking water. The chemical treatment of drinking water must surely also have some impact on sensitivity. Does ultraviolet filtering have any adverse effects on drinking water for the sensitive individual? In our experience it has a negative effect. Elecrically and chemically sensitive individuals can greatly benefit from an organic diet with wholegrains and full fat dairy and the avoidance of processed foods and all vegetable oils. I would also recommend the filtering of all household water with a large filter with catalytic carbon (standard carbon filters are inneffective against chloramines)

My son has had to leave in person schooling and most in person events due to his extreme EMF sensitivity. His quality of life is being stolen and nobody is s monitoring it or seems to care enough to protect him and ALL of us. Please step up! Protect Americans from this poison!

I am submitting this as a caregiver to my partner with severe EMF hypersensitivity and as someone with a milder form myself. After becoming aware/knowledgeable of the existence of this illness I noticed EMF reactions I had experienced myself I had previously ignored/dismissed. I have always felt burning or pain in my legs when having my laptop on my lap or pain in my hand with my mobile phone which if I ignore it, travels up my arm until my whole arm is burning. I always drove old cars with low electrics/radiofrequency with no issues but started feeling the burning in my hands touching the steering wheel in my newer model but only recognized this in retrospect. These issues started before I was even aware of EMFs. In September 2020, my partner became extremely ill and bedbound from one day to the next. He was very fit and healthy, lifting weights and walking 20km every day and eating healthy and one day collapsed after a flu like illness and described feeling a flash/snap in his brain. From then on he started having a myriad of symptoms which haven't eased, only changed at times for the last 6 years with not a single moment in those 6 years without at least 10 debilitating symptoms at once. Initially he was bedbound for weeks and couldn't tolerate any daylight or function at all. He was dismissed medically by multiple doctors despite ending up hospital several times and told his bloods were normal and they didn't know what was wrong with him. Since then we have been on a journey to discover the origin of his illness and seen multiple specialists and spent hundreds of hours of research and his condition has increased in intensity. At the time he was living in a house riddled with toxic moulds (proven by an ERMI later) and started to develop reactivity to many things including chemicals,smells,foods,cosmetics,synthetic materials and EMFs. The intensity of these reactions continued to increase until we became more aware of the source of the different reactions and were able to measure them and isolate what triggers caused which reaction. We have done measurements with EMF meters in many locations and I can 100% say my partner is able to feel with accuracy the level of EMFs by the symptoms he experiences. He reacts to levels FAR below the international safety guidelines.I know that there has been discussion that people react to the trigger as a trauma response and by calming the nervous system or using brain retraining they will not react and I can tell you that this is categorically not true. It may work for some but not my partner at all. He reacts to an exposure before the awareness he is being exposed eg. we go to nature spots far away from EMFs to ease his symptoms.He will tell me he is feeling awful and the next minute someone will walk around the corner with a phone. The has happened over and over. I am a counsellor and work with many clients with trauma and support brain retraining and I can say with confidence this is NOT a trauma response. My partner reacts to all kinds of EMF exposures differently and can often tell if it is radio frequency, electric or magnetic. The list of symptoms he experiences would cover an entire A4 sheet of paper so I will not list them all but in terms of EMFs specifically, he experiences headaches, full body pains, seizures (convulsing and unresponsive for up to half an hour), brain fog, memory issues, tinnitus, vertigo, burning sensations or skin rashes, insomnia, night sweats, nightmares, constant chronic fatigue, heart palpitations/heart racing, heaviness/stiffness, gut issues, mood swings amongst others. We have moved at least 5 times in the last 6 years and are moving again and have spent thousands on mitigation attempts which do help to a certain extent but finding a safe house is becoming impossible. We never use WIFI, rarely use a mobile phone and switch it off when not in use, only have one circuit on for several sockets but have all other circuit switches off at the breaker at all times and have protective shielding equipment but the EMF levels are still not safe and my partner is still deathly sick. He has no medical support as all doctors have washed their hands of him, no accommodations and no official diagnosis. We need extensive research without any funding conflicts carried out in a scientifically valid way. We need recognition of this condition medically and training so people are not left to die and live in primitive conditions, we need accommodations in rental clauses and work accommodations recognized and we need to create safe low EMF zones and protect these to create safe communities. The data is flawed and doesn't measure cumulative exposure to the levels we are experiencing now. Please take this seriously. People are dying whilst being ridiculed, neglected and forgotten and they do not have a voice as they cannot access the channels to have a voice (all these channels are online). I wrote this on behalf of my partner as he could not do this.

On behalf of the EFEIA Institute (Miami, Florida), I submit our organization's attached public comment, national program proposal and letters in response to HHS Request for Information, Docket No. HHS-OASH-2026-0397. This comment represents the perspective of a research entity. The attachments are a proposal prepared by EFEIA in October 2026, my request letter, made together with Dr. Robert Marshall Leal Lue, PhD in clinical psychology, Dr. Pilar Muñoz-Calero and other specialists, and letters from Dr. Pilar Muñoz-Calero, MD, President of Fundación Alborada (Madrid), and Dr. Luis M. Valdés, physician and audiologist. Disclosure: the undersigned is also founder and CTO of NOXTAK Corporation, which develops electromagnetic hygiene products; the 2014-2018 patient cohort described in the proposal evaluated a NOXTAK product among concurrent interventions. The proposal evaluates no product. WHO recognizes the symptoms of electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS, IEI-EMF) as real and potentially disabling, and systematic reviews of blind provocation studies have found no robust evidence that exposure triggers them. We accept that record. Those studies, however, tested a narrower question than the conclusion often drawn from them: most measured conscious detection of a field, or symptoms reported during or soon after short laboratory exposures. A systematic review of 28 provocation studies found selection bias in 82% of them and, in 57%, exposure and assessment times that were not matched to each participant's reported symptom latency. In our clinical experience, from a four-year cohort of 357 patients and more than 1,500 cases reviewed through EFEIA's consultant network, EHS presents as a sensitized and partly conditioned stress response. Short blinded tests with perception as the endpoint cannot separate the environmental trigger, the physiological sensitization and the learned response, and a reaction to an inactive cue does not show that the original trigger was inert. Tinnitus, reported by 50.7% of EHS respondents against 17.5% of controls in a German case-control study, is not yet a defined outcome in this research. We urge HHS to convene an independent, publicly funded review of the criteria used to design and interpret EHS studies, and to support a 24-month program that publishes revised criteria, including stratification of participants by conditioned response and physiological sensitization, personalized and prolonged exposures, delayed-response windows, characterized sham conditions and objective physiological endpoints; a blinded multi-site replication of the biomarkers reported to date; tinnitus and sound intolerance as defined outcomes; a clinical pathway of differential assessment before attribution, with professional training; a consented registry with measured exposure; and proportionate precaution in hospitals, schools and care settings. OASH would convene the program; NIEHS would lead exposure assessment and biomarker replication, NIDCD the tinnitus outcome set, CDC case definition, registry methods and clinical guidance with NIEHS, and FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health exposure systems and dosimetry for provocation studies. This comment responds to questions 4(h) to 4(j), 4(l), 4(m), 5(o), 10(a), 10(d) to 10(f), 11(f), 11(g), 16, 17(a) to 17(c) and 18.

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.

My second attachment didnt attach with my comment Comment Tracking Number #mvi-kbak-24eh. Im also confused by this whole process because I wasn't asked any of these questions this information told me I would be. I have cognitive issues as I explained in my comment as well as EHS
