Electromagnetic sensitivity

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. EMFs, RF and Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) have dramatically affected me. Please note my list of symptoms below triggered by EMFs, RF and EMR that began after 2010, intensified until I was forced to stop working due to these symptoms in May 2014 and continue to this day. I was a partner in the largest CPA (certified public accounting) firm in our county, and was at the peak of my career. My dream home had to be sold to pay ongoing medical bills and eliminate our mortgage. My husband and I had to move to a mobile home to exist and have poured considerable money into the home to shield from EMFs, RF and EMR. I am completely overwhelmed with the medical symptoms triggered by and it is a day-to-day struggle to survive. Specific triggers of EMFs, RF and EMR for me include, but are not limited to exposure to: Cell phones, Cell towers, Smart meters, Computers, wireless phones, laptops, EV, Most vehicles built after mid 2000s, Cellular satellites, LED bulbs, LED light displays, smart watches, wireless hearing aids, and, hearing loops. My symptoms when exposed to EMFs, RF and EMR include: Vise-like painful grip circling head, Knife-like sharp pains in head, Migraine lasting min 6hr to max of 4 days, Vertigo, Disorientation, Heart arrythmia, Shortness of breath, Chest pressure, Slurred speech, Blurry eyesight, Visionary mirrors related to migraines, Hands shaking, and, Extreme exhaustion. My ongoing limitations include: Almost completely housebound leaving home only for emergencies or medical appointments. It takes days to recover from migraines and other symptoms noted above after leaving our shielded home; Prevented from traveling via airplanes, ships, modern vehicles, train; Prevented from staying in hotels, friends’ or relatives’ homes; Prevented from attending outdoor holiday lights displays, LED light shows, parades; Limited access to worship, theatre, live performances, sports events – anywhere that has sound systems under new FCC frequency guidelines that emit radiation; Cannot shop or run errands without severe side effects (e.g. grocery stores, malls, farmers’ markets); No access to banking, texting, emergency notifications from banks, utility companies, housing management via cell phones. In a power outage, no access to emails to compensate for this limitation; Cannot take walks outside of home, go to the beach or parks; Considerable expenses incurred due to my hypersensitivity to EMFs, RF and EMR: Shield home including upgrades as technology from 3G to 4G to 5G changes; Expense to re-wire existing appliances; Considerable expense & labor to search for wireless-free equipment, disable wifi features on electronic equipment if possible; Expense for watching tv without wireless, smart devices/screens/remotes/streaming devices (e.g. Roku); Expense and great inconvenience to move to a community without smart meters on or near home; Considerable out of pocket expense for medical devices and therapists not covered by insurance to reduce or attempt to control the pain. HHS should address the sources of EMFs, RF and EMR. Specifically, 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. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.

I am a female U.S. citizen and USAF veteran and have suffered with tinnitus/sleep issues during and after my Air Force enlistment. Since February 2024 (living in an apartment complex near MacDill AFB), I now experience increased symptoms of severe tinnitus, insomnia, EMF/WIFI sensitivities, nausea, dizziness, balance issues, eye pressure, head pressure and headaches, erratic heart rate spikes waking me out of sleep. Along with other veterans who have commented on this forum, I agree there are serious issues that need to be investigated. Government employees are not the only people experiencing AHI/Havana syndrome symptoms. Civilians, U.S. veterans, and military members are also suffering from the same symptoms.

I am submitting my personal account of living with Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS) in response to the HHS Request for Information on electromagnetic fields and radiofrequency radiation exposure. I am 61 years old and live in Denmark. My symptoms have profoundly affected my health, my ability to work, and my participation in everyday life. I have been granted permanent disability pension due to my severely reduced functional capacity. My submission includes three documents: My personal account of EHS, including my symptoms, observations, measurements, and the impact on my daily life. A medical certificate dated May 1, 2025, documenting my physician's assessment and his direct observation of my deterioration during a consultation. A selection of scientific literature describing symptoms and conditions relevant to my experiences. I hope my testimony will contribute to a better understanding of people reporting EHS symptoms and encourage further independent research, particularly concerning children and other potentially vulnerable groups. Thank you for considering my submission. Best regards, Mette Kenfelt Denmark

Allow me, first of all, to thank Mr. Trump’s administration, and in particular to acknowledge the tenacity of Robert F. Kennedy, a man who knows how to keep his word. I switched to electro-hypersensitivity in 2010, was diagnosed by Professor Belpomme in 2012. To date, I have 5 medical certificates attesting to my EHS; the last comes from the University Hospital Center of Nantes, Professor Tripodi's team. I founded the "Collectif ehs-42", then the "Collectif 1815"; I was an administrator of the associations "Une Terre pour les EHS" and "Robin des Toits"; I attended the creation of "AZB" in 2014; I followed the training of consultant in electromagnetic environment from CRIIREM; I became a "patient-expert". I spent nearly 7 years confined, and wrote a book "Electro-Hyper Sensiblement Vôtre", published in 2019. Since then, the village where I lived, where EHS gathered and recharged, where we measured – 88 dbm (<0.001 V/m), has been colonized by new neighbors. Everyone knows that they live in a village far from relay antennas. It has become impossible to welcome other EHS, and suffering daily attacks from the wireless technologies of these neighbors, my health is gradually deteriorating. The authorities (State via prefects, mayors, and local authorities) do not act, despite our repeated requests; their will is to eliminate us, to silence us, so the torture is daily. Thus, 4 EHS from the Loire department have died. Justice is slow to act, it hides behind the absence of scientific consensus, and is slow to recognize the psycho-social impacts, and even the disability; here, in this village, we have accumulated for over 15 years all the evidence pointing to the failure of the State, the mayors, the local authorities. All participate in Agenda 2030, and its eugenic vision; "... there are waves everywhere now, that's how it is! Adapt!" I do not consent to being irradiated by waves defined by the majority of scientists as toxic, classified as possibly carcinogenic (2B by WHO). It is locally that we must act to help EHS, within the framework of the Laws! It is locally that the hunt against EHS is organized as demonstrated by the procedures against Philippe Tribaudeau and Danièle Bovin, presidents respectively of the Associations "Une Terre pour les EHS" and "les Citoyens éclairés", who are also hunted like animals; for the sole reason that they testify to this reality that everyone wants to hide, the waves put on the market kill, populations have become addicted victims of their ignorance, and EHS are persecuted. Palantir keeps all the digital traces necessary for establishing the Truth, civil or military courts will seize them. In France, more than a century ago, Arsène d’Arsonval and Georges Lakhovsky opened a quickly closed path, electrotherapy, or how to heal with waves. Nicolas Tesla, without a battery but with a "converter" powered an electric vehicle by capturing "the ether", that is to say the natural electromagnetic waves; on this same principle, he developed wireless communications. These studies must be taught again, and applied, and further developed based on ongoing research. This is how we will build a sustainable future; through the mastery of the electromagnetic spectrum because the entire "living" world is bio-electromagnetic, for better and for worse. And this is becoming increasingly urgent in the face of the exponential increase of the waves' grip on bodies and brains due to the massive poisoning of populations with heavy metals and nanotech, in an electromagnetically saturated environment. The latest declassifications and hearings from the United States regarding "non-human" technologies, combined with our knowledge, will soon allow us to shift from Agenda 2030 to a "New Golden Age", where the mastery of waves will order a just and balanced civilization, there is no doubt about that. But before that, we must establish responsibilities, degrees of complicity, and, above all, hear and repair the crimes and injustices inflicted on the victims of the waves, made ill by poisoning. This investigation will follow these conclusions, already known, that is certain. While waiting to reconnect the multi-secular link between Forez and the United States (in the footsteps of Lafayette), here, in the Loire and elsewhere, the "Collectif 1815" continues its work, confounding, day after day, its executioners. Also, we thank you immensely for your support in recent years… Diex aïe! Colas Diallo

#1 Anonymous. #2 Patient: healthy 76 year old female; no current medical conditions, no pharmaceutical or drug usage; (MCS) Multiple Chemical Sensitivity diagnosis (2003) and practices avoidance; never used cell phones due to visual impairments, avoids all wireless devices and infrastructure. #3 In 2023, an omni-directional, 24/7/365 powered, 4G/LTE wireless small cell site was activated on the telephone pole directly supplying electricity to my home. Due to the immediate adverse neurological effects I suffered from the electromagnetic radiation it emitted, I was forced to abandon my property. I became virtually homeless for 6 months because, for a variety of reasons, most landlords, family, and friends felt unable to shut off the cell phones and WiFi in their houses for any length of time. They felt they were too essential. In addition, the number of houses for sale was severely limited at that time and safe EMF locations were nearly impossible to find. The best way I can describe the physical effect of accessing my home, post-activation, is to explain what I first began noticing around 2010 in public places such as libraries, which began offering WiFi. It took me some time to make the connection, because, at first, I didn't believe it was possible. Depending upon the signal strength, I feel as if I'm a lightning rod or radio antenna. I can't tolerate the bio-electrical sensation that is something akin to standing in front of a heat lamp but without feeling the heat, just the intensity. I begin to feel exhausted and within 8-10 minutes, my thinking becomes confused (i.e. I know something is wrong, but I can't quite figure out what it is. I have to work really hard to concentrate in order to power through whatever I was planning to do, but, inevitably, I'm forced to admit that what's happening is real and that I'm beginning to become agitated. Then, a kind of panic sets in, and I just need to get away). When I'm removed from the source and I have something to eat or drink, it takes me about 15-20 minutes to recover fully. When I originally contacted my town building officials about the imminent placement and danger the small cell posed to me as an ADA qualifying individual, they had no knowledge that towers were being sited in our town. They had no authority over the Right of Way, let alone their location or construction. When I sought help from my town government, the Town Council members refused to allow testimony about my situation in a public meeting until an anonymous audience member coerced the committee to "Let them speak." Once again, my local government denied having any authority, and in this case, they demonstrated an unwillingness to acknowledge the electromagnetic radiation issue publicly. When I contacted state agencies including the Department of Health and the Public Utilities Commission for help, they all responded, "It's not in our purview." When I contacted my U.S. Congressional delegates along with every one of my State General Assembly members, I received three responses; two promising to investigate (without followup) and one touting the advantages of wireless technology with no mention of my personal dilemma. Accessing public spaces has become nearly impossible for me due to the proliferation of community-wide wireless infrastructure and devices. THE MOST DANGEROUS PROBLEM FOR ME IS NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCESS HEALTH CARE. Medical points of contact: buildings, hospitals, devices, personnel, and protocols are so completely and complexly wireless, that they pose a significant risk, and even newly-certified medical professionals have never heard of the ADA-qualifying conditions, MCS and EMR-S (Electromagnetic Radiation-Syndrome).>

Oct.20.21 Toronto, Canada I am writing as a concerned citizen of planet earth. From May 2020 to the present, I have personally experienced severe life-threatening health effects, Anomalous Health Incidents, severe sleep and pain issues, sudden onset and offset of severe headache, vertigo, nausea, heating of the skin, cognitive fog, digestive issues, cyst on the ovary, knee pain and difficulty walking, urinary tract and ear infections, vomitting, spitting up of toxic fluids, loss of appetite and swelling of the cheeks and mandible muscles preventing eating, dehydration, vertigo and dizziness, difficulty breathing, compression and pain in the spinal cord and neck, extreme muscle tension, pain and nausea while using cell phone, stroke-like symptoms causing incapacitation along with heat and pain to the head and body and much more. All Anomalous Health Incidents have been accompanied by a high pitched ringing sound. I have been hospitalized due to severe pain several times. Several Complimentary Healthcare Practitioners diagnosed a spinal scoliosis in my thoracic (upper) spine in Costa Rica in 2022, following several weeks of a circle of heat and pain on same part of my spinal cord. A brain aneurism was found on the lower left side of my brain in 2020 via MRI in Toronto Canada. I have observed similar phenomena in my friends and family. I have been diagnosed with Electrohypersensitivity by Dr. Rina Bray at Women's College Hospital in Toronto Canada 2020. I have been diagnosed with Severe Environmental Illness and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity by Dr. Dempster ND in Toronto Canada 2020. There are ultrasounds, Xrays, MRIs and pages and pages of medical reports from 2020 to the present. I have been seen by multiple Doctors and Complimentary Health Practitioners from 2020 to the present, both in Costa Rica and in Canada. I was in excellent physical, mental and emotional health in May 2020 (the happiest and healthiest I have ever been in my life), immediately preceding the sudden onset of extreme insomnia at the end of May 2020 (lasted for one week), followed by severe and unnatural pain, heating, sleep issues and more. I assume all the ill health effects are a result of EMF and non-ionizing radiation, pulsed radio frequencies and other frequencies and chemicals in the environment, from an infrastructure of cell phones, cell towers, sattelites and other frequency and radiation-emitting devices. I have observed similar (although not as severe) effects in friends and family in my community. Many bees have dropped dead in my apartment over the past few months. Over the past few years I have observed negative impacts on plants and animals around my during the time of such anomalous health incidents. I am extremely concerned about the health and life of humans, animals and plants in my community and on planet earth, now and into the future. Please take immediate action in looking into this matter. I thank you kindly from the bottom of my heart.

MY NEIGHBORS AND ANIMALS ARE DYING I am SICK. My family members have been SICK SINCE more than a hundred UNREGULATED TOWERS WENT LIVE over our community. This has been a challenge for me to get anyone to help in my community. I wanted to share my story in hopes of helping others. My story is one of many in Terrebonne Parish. After multiple (9) 300-foot 5G towers were put over our homes, four 300-foot 5G towers were put over my home and animal sanctuary, and four 300-foot towers were put over my office. At the same time, smart meters were put on my home, along with those of every other Entergy customer. I began getting sick, very sick. It began in my petting area with heart palpitations, headaches, vomiting, ringing in my ears, confusion, bleeding gums, insomnia, nightmares, dizziness, anxiety, ears buzzing 24 hours a day, severe fatigue, muscle weakness, and more. I have now been diagnosed with radiation syndrome / EHS (electromagnetic hypersensitivity syndrome) caused by extreme exposure to radiation. Many residents are experiencing similar symptoms. Countless children are now suffering. Being a very healthy person my whole life, this has been a life-changing situation. I am usually the one helping others; now I need your help. I never thought this could happen until I was forced to face it by becoming sick. I'm not sure where this illness will take me. However, I must do all I can to protect my family and my community. Seven neighbors on my street and friends have died after the towers went live over their homes. Many other residents are also sick. My community is surrounded by towers that have no regulatory testing information, nor does our planning department ask for it, citing the FCC's outdated RF radiation guidelines. I became certified in RF radiation testing. I now test the towers and smart meters. I can confirm that the EMF (electromagnetic frequency) / RF (radio frequency) radiation being emitted is extreme for every single product, tower, and smart device I have tested. It has been a fight to protect my family, my community, and myself, with EVERYONE CITING THE FCC'S OUTDATED RF RADIATION GUIDELINES. I had to learn all I could about this to protect my health and theirs. I've had to turn my home, where I have lived for 28 years, into an EMF-safe house (until I sell it), as well as my barn, which is surrounded by EMF material and protection. My bed is covered with EMF protection as well due to the radiation levels in my home. I now have to wear protective clothing all day. Leaving my safe area means becoming exposed due to the unbridled towers around me. I am a very private person. This is not easy to share, but if I do not ask for help now, many more innocent people will be sick, or they will die like my neighbors, my friends, and my animals. Since the towers went live, six of my horses have died instantly under the towers. All of my little animals have died. My 200-pound tortoises started going blind. I'm not sure where the daily radiation exposure will take me, so I thought now is the best time to ask for your help in making a change. THE FCC MUST REGULATE THE RADIATION, OR THE DEATH & DESTRUCTION WILL NEVER END. Technology is safe only if it is REGULATED. Always, Shari Champagne

Dear Department of Health and Human Services: Thank you for listening to the concerns people have about wireless technology. I began suffering from EMR (electromagnetic radiation) Syndrome about 25 years ago. The chronic symptoms I have struggled with over the years include tinnitus, head and facial pain, head fogginess/dizziness, eye and vision problems, nosebleeds. My doctor and I spent years trying to determine the cause of my symptoms. I saw various specialists including an ENT doctor and at least three different neurologists. I had a CT scan and two brain MRIs. I had no success with any of the prescribed treatments, and none of my health care providers could figure out what was going on. Finally, about 10 years ago, I stopped using a cordless phone and took other steps to reduce my RFR (radiofrequency radiation) exposure. In doing so, I experienced a dramatic reduction in my symptoms. The general public needs to be aware that wireless radiation is harmful to human health. I have lost three jobs in the last nine years because my employers refused to provide a safe working environment. In the most recent incident, a WiFi router was located near my desk and I asked for permission to move the router at least 15 feet away. My boss refused to accommodate my request. When I told her that my doctor had advised me not to sit in such close proximity to the router, she terminated my employment. In the United States, we, the public, are not adequately protected by our safety standards. Thousands of peer-reviewed scientific studies, accumulated over decades, report biological effects from exposure to non-thermal, non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation (the kind emitted by cell towers, smart meters, WiFi routers, cell phones, Bluetooth devices, etc.). Our safety regulations do not to consider the bioeffects of wireless radiation at non-thermal levels. Nor do they consider the cumulative effects of long-term exposure over a period of years. The regulations consider only short-term exposure from a single source. They fail to consider exposure from multiple simultaneous sources, such as occurs when you, for example, use a cell phone or tablet near a smart meter in a location covered by multiple WiFi networks. One thing we know about wireless radiation is that, among the many effects seen, a very serious one is the deterioration of the genome (genotoxicity).  Such an effect, if seen in a food item under development or in a potential pharmaceutical drug, would immediately completely ban the product from future marketing and sale. The wireless revolution began more than 25 years ago, and the damage done so far is incalculable. The scientific and medical evidence is clear. Our government agencies need to protect the public from wireless harm, and they need to act now. Please take the time to consider the study conducted by James C. Lin titled “Health and safety practices and policies concerning human exposure to RF/microwave radiation.” https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/public-health/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2025.1619781/full

Sivani Saravanamuttu, M.Phil., Ph.D. Independent Researcher and Author; Founder of Project Plain Talk I submit the following comments on the HHS RFI on Electromagnetic Fields, RF Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. My perspective draws on my peer-reviewed 2013 review (Sivani & Sudarsanam, Biology and Medicine) previously filed as Exhibit 19 in FCC ET Docket 13-84, and my book - The Digital Pied Piper Effect (2018) - which treats RF-EMF health questions as a systems problem involving both biological responses and behavioural patterns that increase cumulative exposure, especially in children. Key points (detailed in the attached PDF): - Exposure and behaviour are entangled; studies should measure both and attempt to separate their effects. - Priority needs include real-use dosimetry, longitudinal cohorts from early life and transparent evidence syntheses. - Individual sensitivity (including EHS/IEI-EMF) requires better methods (e.g., proteomics approaches proposed by Leszczynski) rather than relying solely on self-report or short provocation studies. - EHS recognition and prevalence data are concentrated in high-income countries; comparative data from other regions are lacking. - Coordination across FDA, NIH, CDC and related agencies is needed, with attention to non-thermal mechanisms as hypotheses requiring further testing and to practical exposure-reduction options. The full response, with citations and mapping to specific RFI questions, is attached as a PDF.
