Electromagnetic sensitivity

As a private citizen with a Master of Science dual major in Analytical Chemistry and Biochemistry and a BS with a major in Chemistry and a minor in Biology. I am continually seeking ways to minimize my family’s exposure to environmental RF/EMFs. Following is a brief history of RF/EMF in my life, Followed by a simple request that can aid the informed in their efforts to mitigate the dangers. After 76 years of exposure to RF/EMF ranging from the workplace (i.e., ZMT operator in an early summer job to full room computers as a research scientist at the National Bureau of Standards) to the purchase of a 100+year retirement home with knob and tube wiring and magnetic field readings (prior to mitigation) exceeding 90 nanotesla. After a lifetime of over exposure to electromagnetic fields, I am now hypersensitive to excess RF/EMFs. With shielding and RF mitigation in my house and particularly my bedroom, I can get a full nights restorative sleep. All around me I see evidence that our memories and thinking are being short circuited My elderly neighbour had a mandated RF water meter installed underneath his bedroom; it has been less than a month and now he is complaining about memory lapses - coincidence? Maybe? However one of the know effects of radio-waves is sleep and thinking disruption. On the way home today I saw two young school aged children just getting out of school both were sitting on the sidewalk; the first one was hanging his head and staring at their hands and the second one was a couple of blocks away staring blankly into space. REQUEST: I cannot change my world when it is so far out of kilter from normal, but I can ask for one thing that will make life safer for those of us who can take steps to protect themselves: Please change the National electric codes so that I can purchase and install Shielded 110 wire in my home’s 110 Volt circuits. I have heard that shielded wire may be available in Europe? However, my electrician in North Dakota cannot purchase/install 110 Volt wire that will not emanate electric and magnetic fields into my personal home. Note: HHS should provide advice to the public so that they may take steps to reduce RF/EMFs in their homes. For example, Edward Leeper ’s “Silencing The Fields, A practical guide to reducing AC magnetic fields. (2001).

For 9 years I have been researching and lecturing on the biological effects of wireless radiation, at conferences, on podcasts, and to legislatures. I have looked at 100's, possibly 1000's, of research results among the more than 10,000 published studies. I work with people who have developed extreme sensitivity to electromagnetic radiation (EMR), and seen positive results when the radiation is removed. My family has been affected by EMFs. We have had building biologists and EMF remediation experts in our home, where shielding has helped.

I submit anonymously having been so harassed for speaking out about my wireless experience. But if the HHS wants to know more I am willing! 1. & 2. I responding as: an individual 3a. Wireless or RF/EMF sources: Homebound/off-grid in many locations since 2013--the worst is I can NOT get away from military communications. When military in on alert I know! Source unknown--PAVE PAWS, satellites, or cell towers? 3b. Nature: I unknowingly suffered from EMFs/wireless since working at a satellite focused company in Silicon Valley in the 80s. It didn't know the source of harm until temporarily paralyzed by an electric company "smart" meter in 2011. 3c. Adverse health effects: PAIN, paralysis, extreme exhaustion, neurological instability affecting everything in my body--all 5 senses, brain-fog, hormones, skin eruptions/bleeding, chemical/fragrance sensitivity, inability to detox, etc. 3d. Time from first exposure to adverse health effects: Unknown as I was unaware EMFs/wireless were triggering problems. 3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? Continually sought, but MDs didn't have a clue so called it autoimmune. I sought out a formal diagnosis of sometime around 2020 after an EMR friend was put into mental incarceration for having slept with her electricity turned off. 3f. Steps taken to reduce exposure? Everything I could do to improve my health, moving off-grid, experts, shielding, finding better locations only to be followed by new wireless sources--living homebound--no one allowed on my property with cell phones, etc. Most everything I tried helped, but was followed by higher levels of far off frequencies. I had a spectrum analyzer which helped with analysis. 3g. Any supporting documentation? In 2011 I knew nothing about wireless until temporarily paralyzed by an electric company "smart" meter. I became an anti-wireless activist and learned military documentation back to 1930s showed harm, and thousands and thousands of credible studies show ill health effects! Additional Details: I witness people having a nice conversation, then I microwaves turning up, and then people suddenly disagree and turn on each other. I believe wireless is THE biggest problem in all physical and emotional health. If nothing else It simply prevents healing! B1a. Sources causing Adverse Effects: All wireless (and electricity > 1 mG) including cell towers, wireless phones, aircraft, home surveillance systems, car fobs, garage door openers, tracking devices (including “smart” meters, health implants, watches, cars, cameras, tools, pet collars...), microwave ovens, computers (printers, routers, wireless keyboards, mice...), wireless entertainment/speakers/headsets, scanners, power lines, refrigerators, electrical wiring, and most LED and florescent lights. B1b. Sources you can sense, but don't seem to harm you:- B1c. Sources you can use without sensing or being harmed:With improved health I appear to tolerate EMFs < 1 mG, and flashlights and small batteries without harm. B1d. Sources of benefit (i.e., electrotherapy): Electro-acupuncture initially harmed me, but appeared to be a lasting benefit. B2a. Health conditions contributing to EMF sensitivity including wireless: Great health before illness developed in the 80s while (in hindsight) working in a high EMF office located across the street from the GOES satellite being built/tested. Decades later realizing all symptoms triggered by EMF/wireless. B2b. Health conditions you don't necessarily associate with EMFs: EMFs/wireless harms my nervous system, ability to detox, and sleep. So I ALL of my conditions are rooted in EMFs/wireless harm. B3a. Helped tolerate exposure: Living off-grid away from all forms of wireless. A toxin-free environment (air, home, workplace, pets, and visitors.) Organic 4-day rotational diet with a high variety of foods, and quality water. Drugs/supplements free of additives, dyes, coloring, etc.(LDN, NAC, DIM, electrolytes & minerals, and maybe ivermectin most helpful.) Acupuncture done in an area of low EMF/wireless. XL Band by EMFSol.com gave me the ability to detox. Anything promoting detox – NAC, sweating, baths to draw out the toxins (so might include baking soda, salt, hydrogen peroxide, etc.). Meditation, but wireless prevents deep meditation. B3b. You recommend, but not positive helped: 0 B3c. Don’t recommend: Electrode therapy calmed my mind but lowered my state of health. B3d: Treatments no effect: Virtually all such as years of psychiatry for random onsets of anxiety only to discover it was triggered by airplanes flying overhead! B3e. Treatments made worse: Anything electrical such as EKG. Every doctor suggested drug. B4. Age range? 65-74 B5. What year become aware of sensitivity to EMF/wireless? Slightly aware late 1980s when felt pain sitting next to a neon light. 2011 is when temporarily paralyzed by a "smart" meter woke me up. B6. Where living when you first noticed EMF/wireless sensitivity? "Silicon Valley", CA

See attached file(s) hello my name is Autumn Mattox and I am sendingcopies of my scans that have been done showing that I was non-consensually implanted and showing that my body immense radio frequency… And it is affected my health greatly. The effects that I have felt have caused me many health problems, including almost 80% blind and the crippling effects of what appears to be multiple sclerosis, but I have yet to be able to finish the testing to have that done that I have the request for a neurologist in Seattle to be tested for after his initial consultation with me. I have been associated with an amazing man from Cairo Egypt named Dr ayman… Who works with many people all over the world that have been diagnosed with syndrome or have AHI’s to help return their frequency to a safe level… And he is the reason I’m even still alive. I will also be attaching a file with a letter from him explaining what he does and he is easily contacted for more information about that as Weil. I am also an advocate to many other people that have gone through the same kind of sensitivity to EMF to 5G technology 6G technology and radio frequency. I’m associated with many people that have had the effects recorded bio an amazing woman named Amy Holem who also does digital forensics and has done some in my case as well. Please feel free to contact me at any time and I can give you those reports as well. She has done so for other people that I’m an advocate to as well ranging an age from 10 years old to 82… From nonverbal autistic to retired veterans… Thank you so much for your time. The following is a letter from Dr ayman from Cairo Egypt Very Important and Urgent To His Excellency President Donald Trump Please intervene to save the United States from the international cyberattack targeting VIPs and celebrities.

In response to: "Public Experiences and Reported Potential Adverse Health Effects" 10/14/26 To Secretary Kennedy and HHS Staff, Thank you for this opportunity. I am writing as an "individual consumer" who has been electro-sensitive most, if not all, of my life. When I was 6 years old, I notice that the fluorescent lights in my first grade classroom made me feel unwell, and that they made it difficult for me to concentrate. Over time, I noticed other things that bothered me, including TVs and computers. Nonetheless, up through young adulthood, I managed to avoid or endure what I needed to most for the time, and was able to live a more or less normal life. A big turning point for me came in 1998, when I was 41 years old. At that time, I began to feel ill most of the time, and became unable to function normally or even to 'fake' doing so. In the end, I had no choice but to give up my career, friends and home. I found out later that less than a year before I "crashed" (and moved to a rural area), cell towers had been installed in my old community. As wireless technology has proliferated (cell phones, cell towers, wi-fi, smart-phones, smart-meters, smart watches, etc.), my life has become more painful, challenging and restricted. I now live in near-isolation as an environmental refugee. Exposures to microwaves beyond my threshold of tolerance leave me with headaches, malaise and, worst of all, whole-body "crashing sensations". These episodes last between 2 1/2 and 3 hrs. For me, avoidance is imperative and constitutes a near-full-time job. To survive in today's high microwave environment, I had "low-E" windows installed in my home, wear metalized clothing when outdoors and avoid all contact with humans, unless they have agreed to accommodate me ahead of time, such as "no cell phones". These measures have worked well at preventing my worst symptoms, most of the time, but of course they only reduce exposures, they don't eliminate them. I am one of many who struggle with EMFs, but you will not hear from most of us. Many of use can't use computers or smart phones. I had to arrange for help getting this to you and nearly gave up on doing so. It is also a fact that a large percentage of people with severe EMF sensitivity do take their own lives. A majority of my sensitive friends already have. Now that you have my perspective, I'd like to leave you with several points and some questions to ponder: * To clear up the oft-mentioned "inconsistencies" in the results from research on the health effects of EMFs, findings from research done by or paid for by profit-driven industries of individuals must be removed from the database. Until then, our data will remain skewed in favor of industry interests. * Safety standards in the United States (and many other countries) are woefully inadequate and need to align with reality. Nothing is more dangerous than a false sense of security. If anyone tells a consumer that one of their beloved "toys" is "safe", that consumer will not dig deeper to get more information or even take simple steps that could significantly reduce their exposures. * The burden of proof for the alleged "safety" of wireless technology should be on the corporations that produce it. Currently, all the corporations need to do to maintain the extremely profitable (for them) status quo is to perpetuate the perception of doubt. Easy enough, given the amount of money at their disposal! And they even have a pre-made playbook, thanks to the master deceivers of the 20th century, the tobacco industry. * What gives anyone the right to send microwaves into the public sphere? Into private homes? Into the bodies and cells of every living thing -- plant or animal -- on the face of the Earth? * And finally, what about the rights of those being affected? After all, microwaves are nearly impossible to avoid, even for those of us who choose not to use the emitting devices. Life? Liberty? The pursuit of happiness?! Thank you for your consideration.

I had a friend who suffered from strange symptoms for quite a few years. She couldn't think straight had trouble sleeping her heart, flattered, and occasionally had cramps and was tired all the time. After deep investigation and testing many different things and seeing doctors, a research conclusively found out that she was hypersensitive to electric magnetic frequencies. A strange as that sounds, she found that when she isolated herself out in the woods away from the devices that emit these frequencies, her symptoms abated. The last year we met a neighbor that moved in to the neighborhood, and after some canceled discussion found out that he too suffered from the similar malady. He even asked if he could sleep in my tool shed way in the back of my yard. That's desperation! It would be good if there could be some type of control on this electromagnetic frequency being admitted by these devices, in addition to having warnings on them for people who are not able to research and find out what's causing their symptoms.

I am a 57-year-old European citizen (Norway) documenting how current thermal safety guidelines (ICNIRP) fail to protect individuals with compromised or hypersensitive central nervous systems due to underlying physical vulnerabilities. 1. Case History and Suspected Physical Causes Since my 20s, I suffered from frequent headaches. My family has long owned a cabin in one of the heaviest tick-infested coastal regions in Telemark, Norway, and I strongly suspect that the root cause of my broken "nerve filter" is chronic, untreated Neuroborreliosis (Lyme disease). While a hospital record from 2021 documents positive Borrelia IgG antibodies, an official neurological diagnosis is pending. I also have structural nerve vulnerability originating from a childhood fall that left my nasal bone crooked, followed by three complex sinus surgeries with substantial scar tissue. This structural trauma likely affects my right ear, which suffers from chronic pain and significant hearing loss. Because of these suspected infections and physical traumas, my nerve pathways have lost their structural insulation, creating severe central sensitization. 2. Environmental Impact and Technical Mapping In autumn 2018, a smart meter was installed in my small rented home, causing my symptoms to escalate violently overnight. This drove me to search for answers; some of the first experts I listened to were Dr. Devra Davis and Jeromy Johnson in their TED Talks, and since then, I have studied many independent researchers. Today, my body registers ambient RF/EMF microwave fields as immediate, excruciating physical pain waves. To avoid pain, I must constantly navigate life to completely bypass locations with the strongest wireless signals. I cannot hold a mobile phone without immediate, shooting nerve pain. My pain fluctuates heavily based on external signals: • The 5G Impact: The rollout of 5G signals inflicts noticeably more intense pain, and it takes several days of total isolation for my nerve tissue inflammation to recover. • Objective Technical Mapping: To verify my environment, my father—a telecommunications civil engineer—provided me with a TES-92 Electrosmog Meter and helped me systematically cable my home. Using this meter, I have measured radiation levels exceeding 1 million microwatts per square meter (1 W/m²) in ordinary public spaces, including a ferry quay, a small town center, and the waiting room at the Vestfold Hospital (SiV). This is extremely high—representing more than 10% of the maximum ICNIRP safety guidelines (which are set at 10 million microwatts/m²). Exposure to levels like this inflicts immediate, unbearable pain upon my sensitized nerves. To survive, I must continuously avoid high-radiation areas, paying a heavy "pain cost" every time I enter society. 3. Official Dismissal by Health Authorities Despite submitting extensive independent research to Norwegian health bodies, I have been systematically disbelieved and forced to survive on minimal social security benefits. To prove how national governments use thermal limits to deny medical accommodation, I submit these translated quotes from an official response I received from the Norwegian Ministry of Health (HOD), dated October 12, 2026 (Ref: 20/2972-): • "...no scientific basis for introducing special requirements for 'radiation-free' examination rooms..." • "The overall professional conclusion remains that it is not documented that non-ionizing radiation below current limits causes adverse health effects." • "On this basis, there is no ground for establishing special requirements for radiation-free examination rooms..." Because of this institutional blindness, on December 8, 2025, my essential hearing aid fitting was aborted after just one minute because the audiologist activated wireless programming (NIR), striking me with neuropathic pain. Clinicians are never taught that RF-EMF can inflict physical pain on compromised nerves. Specialized hospital psychosis clinics have fully evaluated me and explicitly ruled out any mental or psychosomatic illness, proving my pain is entirely physical. 4. A Verified Biological Example The only place my nervous system finds peace is in my wired, low-EMF home. I think my radiation-free environment benefits my rescue cat, who is between 16 and 20 years old. He surprises veterinarians with his exceptionally good blood values. His health is a living testament to what a clean, low-EMF environment does for a living body, allowing it to rest and heal. Recommendations to HHS: 1. Acknowledge that a damaged, hypersensitive nervous system responds to ambient RF/EMF as an immediate physical stressor, independent of thermal heating. 2. De-couple EMF sensitivity from psychosomatics and investigate underlying organic vulnerabilities. 3. Mandate analogue, radiation-free examination spaces and wired medical device programming options.

I am extremely sensitive to EMF fields. Since moving to a new home with a smart meter, I’ve had to live in people’s basements that don’t have them. It’s the only way I feel good. When I’m in my home I get headaches, dizziness, nausea, and eventually my muscles feel very weak. It’s hard to stand, and I have an overall feeling of sickness. I am a career woman. I work very hard. I enjoy supporting myself and my children. I fear my future and my health. I’d like to feel good in my home and be able to work and look forward to the future. I beg that there be some kind of parameters around certain electromagnetic fields that are stronger and can have serious declining health, risks. I have asked my gas and electric company to remove the smart meter and put an old-school analog reader on it and I will pay the extra monthly fee for them to read it and they have declined. Please help.

I am now 62 years old and have been electrosensitive since I was 28, more than half my life. In Sweden, this is silenced, doctors who want to help us get into trouble (for example, with their medical licenses revoked). I don't feel like you get any help. I worked as a computer technician with a great interest in electronics. When I became electrosensitive. When I was working around 1990, I got an NMT mobile phone installed in my car. NMT was a big problem. I became sensitive to all electronics and solvents, etc. I was on sick leave for 17 years. Then I had to start working in gardening and as a school janitor. I got an ABC 80 computer early on, which I used to program a lot. Before I got sick, my mouth was full of amalgam. I lived in an apartment with a printing shop underneath for a few years, and the apartment sometimes smelled of glue. I did my military service on a robot boat with asbestos insulation. And was exposed to a lot of radar. I tanned in a solarium and had a waterbed with sky-high electric fields. For a while, I may have had a mobile antenna outside my office where I worked on the outside of the house. When I was programming in my youth, it sometimes happened that my brain would shut down (mental standstill. Before it broke out, I turned down the brightness on the TV. (contrast) I had a cordless phone in the house where I worked. Someone had it before me and got sick. I don't know what it was from. When I got sick, it was during a course with a lot of computers. It was way too much. I was very sensitive to regular wired phones, which we ended up with. I have a cell phone now but always use the speaker function. I now take antidepressants that dampen the sensitivity. I feel less sensitive to radar and wifi and cell phones today. It was a good thing that NMT was discontinued. I have the most sensitivity to power lines now, apart from all kinds of solvents. It was probably a good thing that they removed the lead in gasoline. I avoid cell phone towers as much as possible and exposing myself to too much. There is a lot more I could cover, but this will have to do. Lennart Ohs Lennart.aahs@gmail.com Stockholm Sweden

Online businesses run websites selling fear of EMF. Googling “electrosmog” reveals many such revenue generators, all of which make baseless claims of alleged health effects and feature a prominent “DONATE” button. They do real harm by distracting from actual dangers (e.g., global warming). These sites most often focus on “opinion” studies with no dosimetry (no measurement of actual EMF exposure, just self-reported recollection of subjective proximity to devices) and no clinical assessment of very common symptoms they attribute without evidence to EMF. Claims of health effects with no actual dose measurements or clinical assessment is not credible. Some people believe they are “hypersensitive” to EMFs, but there’s no evidence to back it up; Rubin, G. James; Hillert, Lena; Nieto-Hernandez, Rosa; van Rongen, Eric; Oftedal, Gunnhild (December 2011). "Do people with idiopathic environmental intolerance attributed to electromagnetic fields display physiological effects when exposed to electromagnetic fields?". Bioelectromagnetics. 32 (8): 593–609). Bioeffects from exposure to very high levels of microwave radiation are well understood (tissue heats up – basis of microwave cooking). Levels to which members of the public are exposed are far too low to have any effects. The recognized exposure limits adequately protect the public. Actual exposures are well below the exposure limits. See e.g., Bushberg JT and Butcher MJ. Measurement of ambient millimeter wave exposures levels around small base stations (January 2025). Health Physics 128(2):1-7. Those running “electrosmog” sites point to the “NTP study” as a scientific basis of their claims that cell phone radiation causes cancer. They refer to the 2018 National Toxicology Program Report on mice [https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/tr596] and rats [https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/tr595] exposed to RF used by cell phones. Rodents were exposed to levels near the public exposure limits for 9 hours a day, 7 days a week, for 2 years. These studies showed no statistically significant effects on female mice, male mice, or female rats, and a HUGE increase in life span for the exposed male rats. Thermal effects can explain the significant effects in the rats. See e.g., Kuhne J, Schmidt JA, Geschwentner D, Pophof B, Ziegelberger G. Thermoregulatory Stress as Potential Mediating Factor in the NTP Cell Phone Tumor Study. Bioelectromagnetics. 2020 Sep;41(6):471-479 [https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7522680/]. The NTP study also found a small number of rare heart tumors in the warmed male rats, but not in the mice or female rats. The NTP researchers did not control for warming the male rats (i.e., the controls were not heated the way the exposed rats were), so the most obvious explanation for the tiny number of excess heart tumors is that the exposed male rats heated up more than the mice or female rats. The study’s own peer reviewers noted “…panelists agreed that information to specifically rule out a thermal or non-thermal effect was insufficient.” (NTP TR595 p. 420). A review of the NTP study by internationally-recognized scientific experts on RF effects noted “…substantial limitations preclude conclusions being drawn concerning RF EMFs and carcinogenesis” and “…a preponderance of reported effects in the male rats, whose body core temperature would have increased more than either the female rats or either male or female mice (due to their smaller surface area-to-mass ratio), which would have put them under greater metabolic stress due to their greater thermoregulatory requirements.” ICNIRP Note on recent animal carcinogenesis studies (2018) [https://www.icnirp.org/cms/upload/publications/ICNIRPnote2018.pdf] John Bucher, the lead writer on the NTP report, noted that he is not changing his cellphone use or asking his family to, and that the findings of the rare nerve-tissue tumor found in the hearts of male rats does not mean humans should be worried. [https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/health-lifestyles-researchers-say-no-cancer-from-cellphone-use/4244699.html] Far from being clear evidence, the NTP study shows no effect on mice and most significantly a huge increase in male rat lifespan. The tiny number of heart tumors in the exposed rats could most rationally be explained by tissue heating. Electrosmog sites claim cell phones cause cancer and point to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) 2011 classification of radiofrequency as “possibly carcinogenic” [https://www.iarc.who.int/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/pr208_E.pdf], without mentioning that IARC’s “possibly” category has the lowest certainty of any IARC rating (below “probable” and “known” carcinogen categories), and that the “possible” rating includes things like aloe vera and ginkgo biloba.
