Electromagnetic sensitivity

My entire body collapsed for too much exposure to 5G and Wifi. For 8 years I visit almost ALL Hospital and specialist, and nobody know what happening to me. I developed a sensitivity to electromagnetic fields; I need to keep my cell phone in airplane mode most of the time, I can not be close to any appliances or computer , I can not drive or sleep. This has had a significant impact on my health and well-being.

Thank you so much for this inquiry! I am a 62 yr old medically trained caucasian female and have been aware of my bodies EMF sensitivity for more than a couple decades. Initially I experienced thru cellular phone exposure inability to find certain words while speaking a sentence, rather disconcerting when conversing with clients. Another symptom was sudden spacial disorientation that differed from dizziness, it felt like I could not identify what was up and what was down inside the field of gravity. My sister is a German human doctor who became aware of EMF damage to her child thru proximity of its crib to a router, who nowadays successfully treats treatment resistant diseases of patients only if they agree first to clean up their EMF exposure in their home.She was the one saying my symptoms maybe caused by EMF. To test it I stopped exposure for several days and the symptoms disappeared. Then I exposed myself again and the symptoms came back. I did this three times with exact repeating results. Since then I use an RF meter (EMF acoustimeter Model AM-10, frequency response 200MHZ- 8 GHz, whenever I experience increasing inability to sleep inside for instance hotels or apartment buildings that have many routers installed within a short distance. I only use wired connections on my computer with its wifi capacity turned off, have moved in a rural area where my neighbors routers do not reach,limit my use of the cell phone, and protect myself with silver threaded EMF protective clothing and blankets when in high impact locations. Increasing inability to sleep is the main symptom today when exposed to wifi systems. I have grave concerns for children that are near non-stop exposed in their homes, schools, and am aware of multiple children developing leukemia around a 5G antenna. I am aware of lots including high quality research done on EMF including 5G impact on humans and animals incl bees, and hope you gather all that as a base for further actions to limit the damage sustained by many on a daily base if possible. Thank you again for opening up this very important and long overdue inquiry.

6 years ago I realized I was EMF sensitive, working with a doctor. Then I moved into an apartment building with the intention of leaving in 1 year, however I became too sick to make the move due to the high exposure. I am now exposed to multiple routers, smart phones with many people in the building. At one point I thought I was dying because my body was not strong enough to make it. I literally called my mother to say good bye. Now, I have to sleep in a faraday cage, use a earth frequency machine, wear shielding hats. I live in data center alley in Gainesville, VA. There is a 600 acre national forest 30 feet from the building and I have not seen a squirrel, birds or butterfly. If they can't survive, what impact does it have on us humans? Most importantly why people can't tell when they are exposed to higher EMF. My personal experience with symptoms due to higher exposure are: while driving, I get a stomach ache, my ears start ringing and my vision is affected if there is a tower close by. Stores also affect me seriously withing 10 minutes with the same type of symptoms. Often when I get home from being out of my protected environment, I get a noticeable increase of symptoms like tinnitus, stomach aches, muscle aches and heart palpitations. This has been such a tremendous burden on my health and life, that I literally have to break my lease and move somewhere without this high exposure so that I hopefully can regain my health.

I struggle with headaches anytime I'm doing anything on technology. Bloodwork confirmed that I am very sensitive to EMFs.

I have suffered for the last 6 years with EMF sensitivity after being hit by dirty electricity from my smart meter that I cannot opt out of. That set in motion my sensitivity to wireless and cell towers. I cannot even go to most restaurants now because of all the streaming on tv's and the bluetooth. I cannot set in most cars due to the bluetooth. It has damaged my brain and memory. Please bring safety into our electrical and wireless world. This is not healthy especially for children. FCC and EPA do your job to protect the people.

Since I was injured by wireless radiation radio-frequency exposures in 2014, and afterward diagnosed with the United Nations recognized functional impairment known as "EHS" or "EMS" (electro-hypersensitivity and electromagnetic sensitivity, what used to be called "microwave syndrome") I have lived an extremely marginalized and painful existence - suffered job loss, financial and emotional support (shunned socially), and home/property loss (having had to relocate multiple times at my own expense) all because of my physical reactions to these never-ending increasingly ubiquitous (with their introduction into our environments going largely unregulated and unchecked) manmade artificial electromagnetic fields, are extreme (migraines, heart irregularities, tremors, joint and muscle pain, insomnia, brain fog, etc.) and because these EMFs continue to encroach upon my world, shrinking the available safe places for me - where I can find reprieve, rest, enjoyment of the natural world, work, play, and live. For 12 years now I've fought to educate policy makers and the public about my condition (which at least 3% of Americans suffer with) and other ways the public is harmed by an industry that is basically self-regulated and has not done any real, relevant or recent safety tests on their products and clearly cares about profit over people, seeing any who suffer from these exposures as collateral damage. All for what? Supposed (perceived) convenience? We can use communications tech safely via wired options. We could prioritize protecting the public first, esp. the more vulnerable demographics (unborn babies, infants, children, women and others who absorb radiation more readily or are harmed more easily due to other medical conditions), over protecting industry profit. This is what the HHS should be doing and needs to be doing. We cannot possibly be continuing to argue about whether or not these fields harm us, there are tens of thousands of studies done over the past several decades proving this over and over again. (See EMF-portal.org for access to most of these, as well as a few recent studies attached). Not only are humans harmed, so too are animals of all kinds, plants, insects (particularly bees) and soil microbes. We are all interconnected and interdependent, so it matters that these other creatures are suffering. And it matters that the manufacturing of our wireless tech and all things "smart" is harming our natural world through exploitative mining practices and polluting manufacturing, which along with continued planned obsolescence is creating immense "e-waste" with no end to this in site, growing by the day, polluting our waterways and air with toxic heavy metals, and environmentally persistent forever chemicals. Please do the right thing and work to change policy to protect us from this exponentially rapidly increasing threat to public health. Thank you.

Theoharides, who has an understanding of how electromagnetic signals can impact people with immune system hypersensitivities. Previous studies showing stuff is 100% safe may not be measuring the right things or the possibility of protein misfolding (apologies if I am mischaracterizing what I am trying to reference -- might be the errors that occuring with random mistakes in our DNA happen as our cells multiply. https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/genetics Since hypersensitive individuals can have essentially electromagnetic 'allergies'/immune responses in rare instances, it would seem logical that 'normal' people could be biologically impacted by an increase in the random mistakes that happen in our DNA as our cells multiply.

Thank you for taking the time to look into this important matter. I first began showing signs of EMF sensitivity back in 2015. My physical, mental, and emotional health is negatively impacted by the ever increasing EMFs that I do not have any control over. The house I am living in has the internet hardwired, but I cannot control what neighbors do. I believe I should be able to live in a suburban neighborhood without being immersed in EMFs. I am especially negatively impacted by smart meters and specifically fiber WiFi internet and WiFi in general. I purposely do not have 5G on my cell phone and use Bluetooth sparingly. When I am in an environment with fiber WiFi internet, my sleep is affected. I don’t sleep as deeply and I have to sleep for longer periods of time to be somewhat functional day to day. I also have nerve pain in my legs that fluctuates in severity when around these sources. I believe EMFs can contribute to nervous system dysregulation in certain individuals, myself included. I believe the increasing EMFs can put the body in a chronic sympathetic (fight or flight) state. This condition has impacted my ability to work and I have been mentally institutionalized multiple times for having to live with this condition. I am asking for there to be some regulations in how this technology is implemented. We are living in a time where EMFs are only increasing to levels never before experienced with no real consideration on what it is doing to mankind’s physical, mental, and emotional health. I am doing all that is in my power to lower the EMFs in my own home, but there should be limitations in how far these EMFs can travel from neighbors that are now directly impacting me. I ask that you will look into the harms of EMFs, especially the radio frequency radiation that comes from specifically fiber internet WiFi (and WiFi in general), smart meters, and Bluetooth and make changes. I thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

I am writing this because I believe we have passed the danger zone regarding EMFs, RF and wireless radiation exposure. The public has been misled for many years about these subjects and is not aware of the long-term exposure risk. Many years ago Dr George Carlo was hired by the cell phone industry to study the safety of RF and wireless radiation exposure. He did not deliver what they wanted and they canceled his study because he found over whelming evidence of detrimental effects of long-term exposures. To name a few of the effects, he found molecular, cellular, and genetic changes to our biology. There also was a 2018 toxology study that reported that nonionizing radiation is considered a class 2B carcinogen. EMFs now fill our environment with RF constantly due to all of the following: towers, satellites, antennas, radio, TV, military radar, smartphones, bluetooth, smartmeters, powerlines and motors. It is now impossible to live your life without being subjected to all of these RF producing devices. For those of us that have hypersensitivity to EMFs and RF there is no refuge. I have been unable to find any conventional medical doctor that has any knowledge on this subject and they have no idea how my sensitivity has affected my health. I have been suffering with this sensitivity for almost 4 years. I took a PUB Med Study (PMID 32289567) from the United States government website on hypersensitivity to 3 medical doctors. They had no knowledge of this information and denied my symptoms were caused by it. My husband has spent over $25,000 to protect my home environment (mostly on special shielding paint that blocks WiFi from entering our home) so that I can at least live somewhat comfortably in our home. I have also found an alternative doctor who understands my sensitivity and how it is affecting my health. With my sensitivity it is very painful to go outside my home, especially when I have to go to doctors' appointments since doctor's offices are now all high tech and everyone in the waiting room has their iphone on. It is a nightmare to find yourself in this position. I believe a lot more people will develop my sensitivity if we do not put the brakes on this expanding wireless exposure. They need to recognize hypersensitivity to RF as a disability so we can access public health treatments. Also, children are now saturated with RF from birth. The elderly, babies, children and the auto immune population are in the compromised and vulnerable group. I was auto immune before 1996 when the FCC planned to put this technology into our environment without long-term health risk studies.This grates me as my situation could have been averted had I known the long-term health risks because I would have made better choices and taken precautions when using cellphones and other devices that created RF. I cannot find the words to express how uncomfortable this is to make my story heard, as the dismissal and the cognitive disbelief is so prevalent by those who are not affected.

My sister-in-law has suffered from EMS since her school installed a super wi-fi system to power tablets for all students. As a result, she had to take disability since she could no longer work in the school environment without suffering severe symptoms. This was over 12 years ago and despite everything she has done to mitigate her exposure to wi-fi, cell services, radar, and more, her entire life has never been the same. Since reading more articles about the adverse effects of 5G and other radiation fields, we no longer allow our grandchildren to use wireless services or cell phones. The impact on our health needs to be better studied as it has been in Europe and elsewhere.
