Electromagnetic sensitivity

Declaration of Heidi Brenneman: I reside in Lewis County, Washington. I did not consent, nor do I consent today, to the continuous, involuntary exposure to pulsed modulated, biologically active electrical and radiofrequency / microwave (RF/MW) radiation. The health effects of such have been widely studied by government agencies including from the US Navy in 1972 and by thousands of scientists worldwide. You need only look so far as the International Appeal to Stop 5G on Earth and in Space which was signed by over 24,000 professionals demanding a response to what can only be called a crisis brought on by lack of proper public policy on wireless technology. Dr Martin Pall, Professor Emeritus from Washington State University, has studied the effects of RF on the body. His work shows that RF radiation causes oxidative stress and leads to the depletion of glutathione which is critical in melatonin production. His overall assessment is that the damages caused by RF radiation are causing a tidal wave of dementia which we are seeing at earlier and earlier ages. I lost my mother, my mother-in-law, my 64 year old sister-in-law, two uncles and now my own husband is in Stage 5 early onset Alzheimers at age 67. This is not genetic. My father died in 2017. He had spent his last few years unable to sleep. My Mom's memory started failing in the early 2010's. I believe both my parents suffered from the installation of a smart meter as neither had a cell phone and they did not have wifi. As a normal consumer and well educated professional, I did not have any clue that the tech I was using in my work and personal life could be harmful. In 2010, the time of the installation of the smart meter on my home in Oregon, I became unable to sleep and became extremely anxious and depressed. These are symptoms caused by exposure to pulsed radiofrequency radiation. I'd get what felt like restless leg syndrome but all over my body. It turns out that response was from an increasing sensitivity to all electronics. The trigger was the new smart meter. At the time, I did not know what was causing my symptoms. I went to my doctor and sought treatment. I'm now on SSDI. I spent two years trying to treat a mental health condition that only existed as the result of the exposure to EMF to which I'd become increasingly sensitive. And the medication could not help an ongoing toxic exposure. It was adding another biological insult to one of the very systems that's electrical in nature and that's damaged by EMF exposure - the nervous system. By 2015, I'd lost the ability to read more than a few paragraphs and I struggled to write my own name. The fatigue was so bad that when I went shopping for groceries, I had to hold onto the cart just to get around the store. At age 46, I had people stop me and ask if I was OK. Any stress resulted in extreme outbursts as EMF exposure symptoms include irritability which isn't surprising because when your body is under constant assault, you are in a high cortisol state. In 2017, we moved to a rural community where I thought I'd be safe. We had no wireless devices. The smart meter was only the kind that could be read once a month by a truck when they drove by taking readings. My health improved. But in 2024, the meters were changed to a constantly pulsing type and my health became absolutely devastated once again. I became unable to leave my home. After a few months, we removed the meter but the damage was done. I'd become so sensitive to all EMF fields, I could no longer tolerate my own home. I moved my old motorhome to my pasture where I measured the lowest fields (RF, AC and magnetic) and I lived out there without running water and with little electricity. After several months, I made the difficult decision to move again which meant packing all of our belongings by myself as my husband could not remember if he was packing or unpacking a box. The process of even looking for another home was so brutal, I had to be helped out of many homes. Because every county surrounding me had moved to smart meters for power, I could not properly evaluate other fields. I finally gambled and settled. Here we pay $35/month for the privilege to not be irradiated by our meter. I still often sleep in the motorhome. My symptoms include burning sensations, screen dermatitis, dizziness, heart palpitations, chronic insomnia, cognitive fog, extreme fatigue, irritability and an inability to concentrate. I have debilitating digestive issues I believe are being caused by over exposure when I do try to live like a normal human being. Everyone including Social Security is now requiring a cell phone for identity verification to access services online. I find it repulsive to have to pay for the technology that's destroying everything I love including me. Technology that is offensive biologically and disabling to a human being should not be a mandatory exposure by design of our infrastructure.

1. & 2. I am responding as: an individual 3a. Type of wireless or RF/EMF sources involved (e.g., mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters…)Wi-Fi, cell phones 3b. Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years):Symptoms started in 2010 after we started using wireless printers in our home. So the duration was constant, all times while living in my home. In 2012 when I was diagnosed with EMF sensitivity by my environmental doctor, we removed all wireless devices from my home and used wired connections so I could have a safe haven. But exposures have continued in my office at work, in churches, stores, doctor's offices, etc to this present day. 3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced:Neck pain, feeling of pressure in my body, and a clamping sensation in my upper throat that made swallowing difficult. 3d. Time from first exposure to first appearance of adverse health effects; and did a change in exposure coincide with the onset of adverse effects:Immediate adverse health effects. Though it took years for me to connect the dots as to the cause of these symptoms. 3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis?Yes, an MRI on my neck/thoracic region performed. Not conclusive. Also diagnosed with chemical sensitivites, and an eye condition (vertical heterophoria). In 2012 diagnosed with EMF sensitivity. 3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects?Yes, home remediation by removal of all wired devices from home. This relieved my symptoms. I requested working reduced hours in the office and more hours at home. This helped. 3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information: none

In 2010, I was permanently injured by electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from cell towers during the 4G rollout and the analog-to-digital TV signal transition.. I was left unable to tolerate all forms of wireless, electricity, the sun for many years and even x-rays. As a 25-year airline pilot, I had to stop flying because I could no longer tolerate hotel Wi-Fi or aircraft radar. The radiation levels in my home where I was injured were 800 times higher than inside my aircraft. This injury cost me my career, health, travel capabilities, ability to have children, and millions of dollars in lost wages and pension. I face ongoing injuries inside and outside my home from cell towers, neighbours' Wi-Fi, TV/radio antennas, radar, satellites, and consumer devices. Because Canada lacks radio-free areas, I had to leave my family for years to live in the radio-free zone of Green Bank, WV. Prior to that , I met with Industry Canada, alongside Frank Clegg, former President of Microsoft Canada, to establish a radio-free zone in Canada. Despite Port Franks, Ontario and its municipality agreeing to host Canada’s first radio-free zone, Industry Canada told us they would legally block any attempts to establish a zone, asserting that no area in Canada could be without cell service. This lack of accommodation has caused immeasurable suffering, leading to homelessness, suicide, and people now accessing MAiD. Those affected cannot access healthcare due to hospital and clinic Wi-Fi. Adults with serious forms of this injury cannot work, children cannot attend school, and the elderly cannot live in nursing homes. There is a lack of empathy and care for this inconvenient group of people who most definitely are reacting to electromagnetic radiation, even if our health authorities won’t investigate it and or act appropriately on their reports of injury. As a patient advocate in Ontario, I have helped hundreds of individuals with electromagnetic injuries globally. Regardless of underlying co-factors, all these injuries occurred following exposure to electromagnetic radiation. My Symptoms: My symptoms at the time of my permanent injury included: Tinnitus Diminished quality of sleep Profound and sudden vision loss Sudden unexplained progressive weight gain Skin pigment changes (loss of pigment in some areas, gaining of pigment in others) Total loss of freckles, which I had since childhood Lack of tanning with sun exposure when tanning was easy for me previously Hormonal changes (Extreme hair growth on arms, cystic acne for the first time in my life, extremely heavy periods) Tissue swelling accompanied by skin colour changes when exposed to radiation - turning my skin red and eventually purple if I didn’t reduce exposure Nausea and vomiting Immense fatigue Tissue heating of parts of my hands and arms when walking through one location of my home Repetitive strong shocking, carrying a large charge in my body New chemical allergies and severe allergic reactions to foods (including meat) Serious adrenal insufficiency - lack of cortisol production Looking back, I believe I was being thermally heated far below the Safety Code 6 levels, that led to my brain swelling, which put pressure on my pituitary gland and optic nerve, and resulted in many of my symptoms listed above. My observations of electromagnetic injures and co-factors which may have made people more vulnerable to injury: Exposures to radiation itself - For Example I met a couple who stayed over at a Canadian Airforce Base in Ontario, and they both became permanently injured from the radar on the same night. Exposures to Pesticides and other chemicals Taking Ciprofloxacin Having heavy metals in their body - For example, high mercury, aluminum, iron or copper levels. I have seen many vegetarians who became injured later, potentially from high levels of copper as they are missing zinc from not having meat in their diet. Being exposed to Lyme disease or West Nile Virus (previous encephalitis) Electrical Shock Gamma Scan exposures MRI exposures - Single to patient and cumulative to staff Mold Exposures Carbon Monoxide Exposures Concussions Genetic issues - For example, the inability to detox, the inability to process certain nutrients that might lead to lack of myelin, etc. Anything that has compromised the blood brain barrier Potentially Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome or Connective Tissue Disorders - leading to MAST Cell Activation Syndrome I’ve also observed that the digitization of the frequencies themselves has led to injuries from electromagnetic radiation. For example, I used a 900 MHz analog cordless phone for 10 years with no problems, but I was not able to tolerate a digitized DECT phone at 2.5 GHz. Thank you for the opportunity to submit my comments. If I can be of any help, please just ask me. Melissa Chalmers

I am an emf-sensitive person, my 10 year old is also sensitive. Traveling in hotels in the US has become difficult, we never can stay in a top floor rooms or neither of us will sleep. We toss and turn and feel like we're vibrating, it's terrible. We travel with wifi kill-switches when renting air bnbs for family vacations and sometimes need to move beds away from walls, after locating the routers in each space. In addition to the massive sleep disturbances, I'm not sure I understand why other entire countries do not allow WiFi in childcare centers and schools and in the US there are no rules/regulations protecting our children. I was shocked when moving to my state and seeing 5g towers in most public buildings-public schools, community centers, police stations, why? I am unable to have my child participate in our local community center programs because I will not subject him or myself to parking alongside a 5g tower-nausea and headaches ensue. I appreciate some states, like New York, passed a bill that a tower couldn't be built a certain distance from schools where children are learning and spending so much time of their childhoods. Can the US mandate this for all states, our children need to be protected! Thank you, thank you for taking the time to look into making these much needed changes in public spaces so those of us who suffer with the headaches, nausea and massive sleep disturbances can be helped. We've chosen to home school because there is no way my son could sit through an entire school year, year after year, with the constant wifi (why can't the rooms be hard-wired?!) and the public school in our neighborhood has the largest 5g tower in its parking lot. Why?! Again, thank you for looking into this, taking a look at how other countries are doing this differently and with caution (as we have NO long term safety data, why are our kids the guinea pigs?).

As a family practice physician, I see patients in my practice who present with symptoms of EMR Syndrome. The core problem I face in treating them is that EMR Syndrome is not a recognized medical diagnosis.There is no ICD code, no diagnostic criteria, no clinical guidelines, no biomarker panel, no medical school training. A family physician who takes a patient's EMF-related symptoms seriously has essentially no institutional scaffolding to work with. Here's what HHS could change to help patients: 1. Create a dedicated ICD-10-CM diagnostic code (the single most important step) Right now, PCPs can only code EHS as a workaround: W90 (exposure to nonionizing radiation) + individual symptom codes (R51 headache, R53 fatigue, G43 migraine, etc.) + R68.8 (other specified general symptoms). The Nordic Council did this in 2000; EUROPAEM recommends it in Europe. HHS could: Petition the WHO ICD Steering Committee (as the US representative) to add a new code to ICD-11, which CMS would then map into ICD-10-CM Or, more quickly, issue a CMS national coverage determination that formally recognizes the W90 + R68.8 combination as a valid diagnostic entity for reimbursement purposes Without a code, insurance won't cover extended visits, environmental assessments, or treatment — so the patient is out of pocket and the PCP has no billing pathway. 2. Issue clinical practice guidelines through AHRQ AHRQ (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality) funds and publishes practice guidelines. HHS could commission an AHRQ-sponsored consensus panel to produce a "Diagnosis and Management of Electromagnetic Radiation Syndrome" guideline that defines: A case definition (e.g., ≥2 of the core symptoms + temporal correlation with EMF exposure) A standardized workup (what tests to order, what to rule out) A treatment algorithm (exposure reduction, symptom management) Documentation requirements for coding and insurance There's already a preliminary Canadian guideline by Dr. Riina Ines Bray (University of Toronto, 2016) that could serve as a starting point. 3. Fund and validate biomarker panels through NIEHS/NIH This is the long game but the one that would make ERS a "real" condition in the eyes of the medical establishment. NIEHS could fund: Multi-center studies validating the most promising candidate markers: HRV (heart rate variability) changes, oxidative stress markers, GSTM1/GSTT1 null polymorphisms (nearly 10× more common in EHS individuals), reduced melatonin, elevated histamine, mitochondrial dysfunction markers If NIEHS publishes a validated biomarker panel, PCPs would have an objective test to order — the equivalent of a blood test for an allergy. 4. Mandate medical education HHS (through the National Library of Medicine / NLM and the AAMC relationship) could require: EMF/ERS in medical school curricula — a module on environmental and electromagnetic health effects in the preclinical or clinical years CME credits for continuing education on EHS diagnosis and management A standardized environmental/EMF exposure history form built into electronic health records (EHRs), similar to the tobacco/alcohol history that's now standard Right now, most PCPs have never heard of EHS or have been taught (via WHO guidance) to treat it as psychosomatic. 5. Reverse the "psychosomatic" framing The WHO's 2009 statement — that EHS should be treated as a psychological condition and that "treatment should not focus on reducing EMF exposure" — is the single most damaging document for clinical practice. HHS could: Issue a formal HHS position statement that acknowledges ERS as a valid clinical entity requiring environmental exposure assessment Fund patient advocacy and education through the National Institute of General Medical Sciences This matters because PCPs who are told by the world's top health agency that the condition is "psychosomatic" will not take it seriously, no matter what the patient describes. 6. Create a federal EHS/ERS clinic network Switzerland launched a national EHS consultation service in 2023. HHS could: Designate a small number of academic medical centers as ERS referral centers (similar to the rare disease center model)portunityp Fund outpatient clinics with environmental medicine specialists, occupational hygienists, and EMF measurement equipment Create a telehealth referral pathway so a PCP in rural America can consult with an ERS specialist without sending the patient 500 miles 7. Create CPT reimbursement codes for environmental health assessments CMS could add new CPT codes or expand existing environmental medicine codes to cover these. Please offer another follow-up comment period like this since many of us are just finding out about this opportunity to share our thoughts and clinical experience.

Patient Advocate for Victims of RF/EMF Exposure P.O. Box 1039 Roseville, CA 95678 (916) 692-4999 PatientAdvocateEMF@proton.me October 20,2026 The Honorable Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Secretary U.S. Department of Health and Human Services 200 Independence Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20201 RE: Public Comment on Request for Information (RFI) regarding Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure (Docket No. HHS-OASH-2026-0397) Ladies and Gentlemen: I am a victim, patient, and advocate: This is a tiny portion of my expose, research, and reporting. I have accumulated thousands upon thousands of pages of such information. This information is rough and cursory, but it is the best I can do on such short notice and without reasonable accommodations due to my severe and life-threatening injuries from RF/EMF. In this instance I used AI to help assist in my articulation due to my disability. RF-EMF Burn Patterns-Burn Frequencies-Polonium-Hafnium Amplification-Pulsation-Entrainment-Trauma-Burn Patterns For 2,500,000 micro watts per meter squared of EMF/RF, give me the 3 frequency groupings that could hit me and cause three distinct burning patters such as burning from the outside in, the inside out, and having a high vibrational feeling at the center core of my body causing my skin to slowly burn distinctly from the outside while my inside does not burn. To address your request, we first need to convert your measurement into standard units used in safety guidelines. A value of 2,500,000 micro watts per meter squared of RF/EMF is equal to 2.5 (or ). While this level is notably high for a general living environment, it remains significantly below the FCC public exposure limit of and the threshold required to cause physical thermal "burns" in humans. Physical burns typically require power densities hundreds of times higher than what you've described. However, the three distinct biological "patterns" you mentioned correspond to the way different RF frequency groupings interact with human tissue based on penetration depth: 1. Outside-In: High Millimeter Waves (30 GHz – 300 GHz) Frequencies in the upper millimeter-wave band have very short wavelengths that do not penetrate deep into the body. • Absorption Pattern: Energy is almost entirely absorbed by the epidermis and dermis (the skin). • Sensation: This can cause a "burning from the outside in" sensation or a surface heating effect. • Common Sources: Advanced radar systems or experimental Active Denial Systems (non-lethal weapons) used by the military to create a heating sensation on the skin surface. 2. Inside-Out: Mid-Range Microwaves (300 MHz – 3 GHz) These frequencies have longer wavelengths that can penetrate several centimeters into biological tissue. • Absorption Pattern: Energy reaches internal organs and muscle tissue. Because internal tissues often have higher water content, they can absorb energy more efficiently than the outer skin, leading to "volumetric heating." • Sensation: This creates the "inside out" feeling, similar to how a microwave oven cooks food. • Common Sources: Standard Cellular Networks (4G/LTE/5G) and Wi-Fi routers operate in this range. 3. Core Vibrational / Surface Burn Mix: Low Frequency (3 kHz – 100 kHz) At very low frequencies, the interaction is less about thermal heating and more about induced currents and "electrostimulation." • Absorption Pattern: These waves can penetrate the entire body, reaching the center core. They do not typically cause thermal burns internally but can stimulate nerves and muscles, creating a "high vibrational" or tingling feeling. • Sensation: If the power is extremely high, you may feel internal "vibration" while the high-voltage field simultaneously causes "micro-shocks" or surface irritations on the skin, which can feel like a distinct surface burn while the interior remains thermally cool. • Common Sources: High-voltage power lines or large industrial induction heaters. Now, give me the magnification range where polonium and hafnium are inside my body so that the EMF/RF bounce off the polonium and hafnium creating a magnifying effect. What this means is that the EMF/RF and be magnified (multiplied) so as to be perceived as "being safe" • Reflective Absorption: Conductive metals can reflect and refocus RF energy, which may lead to a localized increase in the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). For example, studies have shown that metallic earrings or dental implants can increase local SAR in nearby tissues by 20–25% at specific frequencies. • The "Antenna" Effect: Some theories suggest that heavy metals in the body can act as miniature conductors, potentially increasing an individual's sensitivity to EMFs, though this is primarily discussed in the context of Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS) rather than physical magnification of the signal itself.

I am commenting today to encourage a thorough review of EMF and RF (wireless radiation) safety, with the goal of supporting modern technology while prioritizing public health and informed consumer choice. I am someone who experiences sensitivity to EMF and RF sources. This was not always the case. For years, I dealt with symptoms including headaches, pressure in my head, tingling sensations, and other unexplained health effects. I never expected wireless devices or electronics to be contributing factors. Through personal research, I have found studies supporting both sides of the issue, many of which contradict one another. What I do know is that I am affected by these exposures. Over time, I have conducted my own observations to better understand what I can and cannot tolerate. As technology has evolved, it has become increasingly difficult to use modern devices unless wireless features such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular connectivity can be disabled. In some cases, the issue appears to involve not only RF signals themselves but also electromagnetic interference (RFI). Example 1 My work computer was due for replacement, as occurs every few years. I had no expectation that a new computer would affect me. Within minutes of turning it on, I began feeling unwell. I did not immediately connect the symptoms to the computer, but when I turned it off, the symptoms gradually subsided. Measurements showed field levels similar to other computers, but the amount of RFI emitted was noticeably higher. I returned to using my old PC without issue. After additional testing, I received a different replacement computer from another manufacturer that produced significantly less RFI, and I experienced no noticeable symptoms while using it. Example 2 For most of my life, I purchased vehicles based on cost, performance, and practicality. Today, I also have to consider how a vehicle affects my health. Some vehicles produce high magnetic fields, and nearly all new vehicles contain embedded wireless technologies. Some allow wireless systems to be disabled; others do not. In 2024, I leased a vehicle that had low magnetic fields but moderate RF emissions. After about a week, I began noticing symptoms. After investigating, I concluded that the vehicle's cellular modem was contributing to elevated RF exposure. About three months later, I realized the symptoms had disappeared. Testing with an RF meter confirmed that the modem had stopped transmitting, which I also verified through the vehicle's settings. I drove that vehicle for the next year and a half without issue. After returning the lease, I acquired a newer vehicle. Testing showed significantly higher RF levels, and I am now unable to remain in the vehicle for more than 10 to 15 minutes without feeling ill. In this vehicle, there is no option to disable Wi-Fi or wireless connectivity. I currently have workplace accommodations that include relocating Wi-Fi access points away from my workstation. I also work from home most days in a low-exposure environment. My phone remains in airplane mode roughly 90% of the time. When communication is necessary, I prefer Wi-Fi calling or a wired computer connection, as I experience fewer issues than when using cellular service directly. I share these examples to illustrate how these exposures affect my daily life and the lives of others who have limited options for reducing exposure. I would welcome the opportunity to provide additional details beyond the brief examples included here. As part of this effort, I would like to see: Updated, high-quality research examining the health effects of EMF and wireless technologies using modern exposure scenarios rather than relying primarily on standards developed in 1996. Greater application of the precautionary principle, including efforts to reduce unnecessary exposure from wireless devices and infrastructure while maintaining reliable communications. Further research into Electrohypersensitivity (EHS) and the establishment of clear medical guidance for individuals reporting related symptoms. Regulations requiring consumer products, vehicles, and other devices with wireless capabilities to include a user-controlled option to disable wireless radios. Consumers should have the ability to choose whether these technologies are active. As both a consumer and a citizen, I believe individuals should have greater transparency, choice, and protection regarding wireless technology exposure.

The boosters they attach to telephone poles with their own electric box are monitored by gamma ray technicians. I called the phone number they post just below the lines and asked for the data the gamma ray technicians did on the pole near my home. They directed me to multiple departments when I finally got someone I asked for data or specifics. He couldn’t give me anything because he didn’t have anything amd sent me to a Verizon site that didn’t list any information. Data needs to be public knowledge specifically the device, the placement and what it’s giving off and the measurements of it. I’m also sensitive to emf, and WiFi I use multiple blankets and blockers to negate the headaches, hot flashes and palpitations. If it’s turned off all my symptoms disappear within a few minutes.

My comment is in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding both as a patient and a healthcare professional, who has been concerned about this issue for many years, and has read the scientific literature. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/379738087_Investigation_of_the_Adverse_Health_Effects_of_Cell_Phone_Radiation_and_Propose_Solutions_to_Minimize_Them_A_Systematic_Review I developed hypersensitivity to electromagnetic radiation when I had another serious illness, and the effects of the wireless radiation made my overall symptoms worse. Those symptoms included brain fog, insomnia, anxiety and tinnitus. I removed all cordless phones from my home, and use wired phones and computers to help reduce the symptoms. My cell phone is turned off or on airplane mode most of the time to reduce my exposure. HHS is responsible for making sure the exposure to electromagnetic radiation is safe. Thus far, it has not been proven safe, and the exposures allowed in our country are magnitudes higher than that allowed in the EU. Please examine both the scientific evidence and people’s experiences regarding the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by the appropriate federal agencies with expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health. I urge HHS to identify gaps in current research, giving particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations. We need to establish appropriate federal research priorities and laws regarding wireless radiation and public health. Thank you for considering these concerns. Kim Weeber, DPM, LAc
