Electromagnetic sensitivity

I have a neighbor who is extra sensitive. Ultimately, he had to move. He surveyed the neighbors within a radius of one block of him. Many had the onset of severe headaches they had not experience before. His dog developed symptoms. Once they both moved 20 miles away, they both recovered from symptoms.

Hello, I started with emf sensitivity when we started adding more devices and our router was updated to one that couldn’t be turned off at night. Now with towers and antennas all around us I suffer with dizziness, blurry eyes, heart palpitations and I don’t sleep more than 3 nights a week, that’s the worst, we are moving to an area that I hope will better. I hope something can be done about it especially for the children since they have their whole life ahead of them. Thank you palpitations and I don’t sleep more than maybe 3 times a week, we are moving to an area that I hope will be better.

I am very sensitive and react strongly to EMF'S and RF's etc. I hope you are aware of how many people are like myself and either become sicker or more reactive to these devices. Please be aware of how your decisions and actions are affecting the very people who are sensitive and don't understand why they are feeling worse. If you are going to continue, please put something in it to harmonize those frequencies or quit putting them in such populated areas.

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 concerned member of the public. At this point there is sufficient evidence that wireless radiation is dangerous to many people, but especially children and the elderly. I am a member of the second class. I am 84 years old and live in a community with an overwhelming number of towers. I have developed more neurological symptoms as even more towers are erected.. On the rare occasions that I can escape from wireless radiation I have experienced a surge of well being and an alleviation of pain. Yes, this is anecdotal although I am seeing a neurologist for my nerve induced pain. There was a time when I scoffed at people saying they were "electrically sensitive". Now I am one of them. 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.

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

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 an EMF DISABLED patient, parent /my daughter is also EMF harmed, I am a healthcare professional-Family Nurse Practitioner of 42 years, and a researcher / author and Anti-EMF advocate, & concerned member of the public. I had to leave my medical clinic 5 years ago because the landlord put WiFi Routers above and next to my clinic. Then the local electric company EWEB put a SMART Meter on the building. I became light headed, headaches, nausea, my blood pressure spiked and I became unsteady on my feet with fuzzy thinking. I could no longer see patients in my medical practice. I moved my Nurse Practitioner clinic home and had to let go my 3 staff. This rather wrecked my finances. My home had a safe analog electric meter, and I had thrown out my cell phone and got wired modems and a $3,500 Power Perfect device on my electric system to take out all dirty electricity from the power lines coming into my house. That worked until the dread Eugene Water and Electric company forced me and everyone else in town to get a digital SMART METER ON THE HOUSE. Five ex-military “Security people” from EWEB appeared and 3 of them were in body armor with a taser on one hip and a pistol on the other and told me they were here to take your meter lady”. Fabulous intimidation, I was 74 years of age were they expecting I would wrestle them to the ground? The day they put the SMART meter on my home I immediately had high pitched buzzing in my head ,chest pain, my blood pressure spiked, headaches and I was unsteady on my feet. I could not stay in the home so I slept in a friend’s shed with no power. I called EWEB the next day to see if they could give me another type of meter. They sent another armed guard and a bucket truck out and told me I had to keep this meter that I had or they could cut the power at the pole…...So they cut my power on Sept 27, 2024 because I could not live in a house with a Smart meter and be EMF Disabled. Two years later I am running off a solar generator and had to change out $55,000 in getting all new natural gas appliances for a refrigerator, heating stove, water heater,solar panels.My oven does not work since it is electric and I have been cooking all my meals on a Coleman camp stove for 2 years on a covered deck in all weather. I am now 75. Unfortunately I am still not safe living here due to more EMFs/ cell towers and my neighbor’s homes emitting RF and it was my “Forever home” of 20 years and it looks like I am to be forced out of here. I have one 30 watt non LED light bulb in the whole home that runs off a solar generator and my computer. I spend my evenings with candles or REI back packing lanterns for light in the home since the power was cut at the pole 2 years ago. I still have high pitched buzzing in my head, fuzzy thinking when it is high with awful fatigue that comes in waves. I can pick up 16 of my neighbor’s WiFi routers, and their SMART meters & a baby monitor on my EMF /RF meter. I have NOT slept through the night in 3 years now since the SMART meter roll out. I NEVER wake up refreshed no matter how many hours I am trying to sleep. I have come to hate nights due to the constant buzzing. My white blood count has dropped due to the EMF exposure and I am working myself up for auto immune problems and it has stirred up my in-remission Epstein Barr from 30 years ago. I now have all leather grounding shoes, 4 grounding mats to sit on, a grounding mat on my bed that is grounded on my mattress, I have grounding silver thread sheets and a $1,300 SILVER thread Faraday canopy over my bed. I have put aluminum radiant barrier on my bedroom walls/ ceiling and floor and have put 2 layers of aluminum screen over my bedroom windows and the mesh is grounded with a metal rod. All of this blocks some of the EMFs/ RF, but not enough. On the www.AntennaeSearch.com website my home comes up with 161 large 5G towers and 492 small cell antenna within 3 miles of my home. They have a new 5G 500 foot tower 0.2 miles from my home with 3 telecoms on it, I can see the tower from my back deck. When it was 4G it did not give me symptoms .“They” put in 15 large 400-500 foot towers during Covid when people were not looking/ distracted ,along the railroad track which curves so all 15 of these Damn towers are ¾ of a mile from my home. I am being COOKED and I feel rotten. If I go out into the country away from cell phone towers ALL the buzzing in my head goes away and my cognition totally clears up and I have energy again. The RF/ EMF/ 5G towers & cell phones and wifi routers made me sick. They are an invisible toxin that is permeating my walls, ceiling and windows and my yard, that I no longer enjoy being in since the buzzing in my head is worse outside. At 75 I have to find a new home.

My wife's experiences with RF/EMF and consequences for her health and quality of life My wife's electrical hypersensitivity began after a tough amalgam removal in 1980 granted by the Swedish Social Insurance Agency, paragraph 8, due to oral galvanism. A brass screw in a root-filled cracked tooth reacted with amalgam fillings that first turned black and then began to dissolve. Referral to the Academic University Hospital in Uppsala where elevated mercury levels were found. After the sick leave period when she returned to her job as a teacher, she reacted to fluorescent light fixtures with tingling in her skin. The municipality electrically removed her schoolroom; fluorescent light fixtures were replaced with incandescent light. Dimmers were removed. She was able to continue her job part-time due to chronic fatigue. The computers were moved into a special room and she was referred to Arbetslivstjänster for testing of electrically removed computers. Then mobile phones came in and she had such serious symptoms that she could no longer stay at school. She was completely on sick leave and later received sickness benefit, diagnosed with ICI -10 T78 anaphylactic shock/perceived electrical hypersensitivity. A 3G mast gets a building permit 200 m from our house. Despite the municipality's knowledge of her problem and our electrically renovated home, they claimed that she would be able to handle it. We moved to a secluded farm in another municipality. After a year in our new home in the countryside, the municipality sets up a two-transmitter WiMAX to offer wireless broadband throughout the municipality. For 3 days, my wife and 6 other electro sensitive people have to quickly flee their homes. Her symptoms were air hunger, heart problems, swollen and red face, tingling throughout the body. Certificate from the district doctor. Escapes to the forest, lives in a caravan. Must start with heart medication. Can move home after 1.5 years of living in a caravan when the municipality shut down WiMAX. She had not been able to visit our home at all during the time in the caravan. A year later, “smart electricity meters” were installed and she became acutely ill with very high blood pressure (the negative pressure was 122). This time she fled to a renovated caravan in the forest and she could not tolerate any electricity at all for 3 months. She was terribly ill, had tinnitus and other problems and was completely exhausted. There is a medical certificate. When we got the old electricity meter back after 9 months, she was able to move back home. When she visited her health center in November 2017, she became very ill after 10 minutes, again with shortness of breath, heart problems, swelling and tingling and was very ill for 6 months. She learned that the health center had installed Wifi 2G+5G. She contacted the health center and wanted them to come to our house and take tests. The answer was no. “It is not medically justified. You are welcome to the health center, but the WiFi will not be shut down”. Since then, she has had no access to healthcare. After each “bang”, she becomes more and more sensitive to electricity/mobile phones. Now the network owner, where she has her electrically renovated refugee accommodation, has installed a new “smart” electricity meter, even though we have an agreement to keep our old mechanical electricity meter and self-reading. We have hired a lawyer, but are not getting it right. Now we have appealed to the Supreme Court. The electrically renovated refugee accommodation, which cost us 2 million Skr, is completely destroyed for her. It is uninhabitable and she is completely without rights. According to the EU Energy Market Directive, it is possible to keep your old electricity meter if you have problems with the new electricity meters, but Sweden has decided that no exceptions should be allowed. The authorities are even urging network owners to use the Swedish Enforcement Authority against those who refuse to install “smart electricity meters” due to health reasons. If that were to happen to us too, she would have nowhere to go. Once again, she is in the same situation that smart electricity meters are being installed in our house, but now our spare accommodation is uninhabitable. Where will she live? Since 2017, she has not had access to healthcare at the health Centre and hospital due to wireless broadband Wifi, which the healthcare system refuses to turn off. She has needed care in the meantime, referrals are stopped by the hospital director citing a lack of scientific evidence, too expensive to fix and patient safety for other patients is threatened. The answer is always. “You are welcome to healthcare but Wifi will not be shut down”. The hospital technicians believe that it is possible to temporarily shut down Wifi locally without risk to other patients. Now the hospital director has also forbidden the hospital technicians from speaking out about this.

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 an individual who is sensitive and adversely affected by wireless radiation. I am sensitive to cell phones, wireless routers, microwave owens and smart electric meters. My symptoms are chest pain (heart) and sharp pain the the head. These symptoms happen immediately with microwave owens and even at fairly long distance. I have to avoid areas housing smart meters, as they wil cause heart and head pain withing a few seconds. I do not use a cell phone and have to avoid being near anyone who is using a phone. I use a modem which does not have a wifi capability and which are now hard to find. As are computers without wifi built in. I support HHS taking an active role in examining and regulating the health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Thank you for providing the public with an opportunity to finally be heard on this critical public health issue.

Hello, My name is Salvatore, and I am writing to ask you to take action to stop the increasingly widespread deployment of 4G and 5G mobile phone antennas. For several years now, since these antennas have become so widespread, my quality of life has drastically deteriorated. I suffer from MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity) and EHS (Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity). Whenever I am near these antennas, I experience intense head pain, as if my head were being squeezed in a vise. The only way for me to feel better is to move away from these antennas. There are now many studies that indicate the potential harmful effects of electromagnetic fields. For example: Belpomme D, Carlo GL, Irigaray P, et al. The Critical Importance of Molecular Biomarkers and Imaging in the Study of Electrohypersensitivity. A Scientific Consensus International Report. International Journal of Molecular Sciences. 2021;22(14):7321. doi: 10.3390/ijms22147321 Despite all this scientific evidence, nothing and no one seems able to stop the spread of these harmful antennas. I sincerely hope for your help. Thank you very much for your attention. Sincerely, Salvatore

Bonjour Au printemps 2020, lors de l'installation des antennes 4/5 G, j'ai ressentit dans des picotements partout dans le corps. Nous habitons à 800 m des antennes. Les picotements sont devenus incessants et intolérables et de nouveaux symptômes sont apparus. J'ai découvert que cela était lié à l’électrosensibilité quand j'ai commencé à en parler autour de moi. Une amie m'a dit que peut être cela pouvait être dû aux ondes. J'ai refusé cette éventualité pendant 1an et demi jusqu'au jour où l’été 2023, les enfants jouaient sur les tablettes avec le Wifi. J'ai eu la sensation d’un étouffement. Même si je respirai à grande bouffée, j'avais la sensation que l'oxygène ne rentrait plus dans mes poumons. Je me suis rendue dans la cave, car je savais qu’en bas, avec le thermo-reflecteur le téléphone ne captait pas. Et ma respiration est revenue. Je suis remontée, j’ai éteins la Wifi, et les étouffements ont cessé. C'est à partir de ce moment que j'ai réalisé que cela venait des ondes. Liste des symptômes ressentis sur une échelle de 1 à 10: – Picotements dans tout le corps par vague : 10 – « black-out » du cerveau : 3 – défaillance de la mémoire, perte des mots. : 5 – Larsen bourdonnement (comme si j'avais la tête dans un micro-onde) : 8 – Vertiges, perte d'équilibre : 5 – tremblement, crampes : 5 – sensation d'étouffement : 2 – Palpitations cardiaque: 4 – Trouble de la vision, flash lumineux : 5 – cystites, difficulté à uriner : 8 – raideur de la nuque : 7 – insomnies : 10 Les sources qui déclenchent les symptômes : – ONDES WIFI et téléphonie mobile, ondes 4/5 G, BLUETOOTH – Lampes à led Détection : J'ai investit dans un appareil mesureur d'ondes basique qui calcule le champ électromagnétique des appareils dans la maison. Aujourd'hui : les sorties sont difficiles, même pour aller voir le médecin. Je ne peux plus me rendre en ville, dans les commerces, dans des endroits publics. Mon travail est lourdement impacté ainsi que ma vie au quotidien. Je passe plusieurs heures par jour dans la cave. J'ai eu RDV avec un neurologue qui m'a dit : " Ca ne m'intéresse pas." Nous pensons à un déménagement dans une zone blanche. Mon médecin m'a conseillé de consulter également un psychologue, afin d'établir un bilan psychologique, m'a donné des comprimés anti dépresseurs, alors que j'ai juste besoin que ça soit reconnu. Je suis soutenue par mon entourage familial proche, même si au départ, la compréhension fût difficile. Les enfants jouent maintenant sur internet par le câble ethernet. Nos téléphones sont en mode avion. Mon état de santé psychologique est assez troublé, dû à l'incompréhension de certaines personnes. (moquerie, colère, désintérêt...). Aujourd'hui je travaille à l'acceptation de mon état et tente de rétablir un équilibre, afin de faire perdurer une vie quotidienne, sociale et professionnelle plus épanouie. J'ai pour ambition de monter un collectif pour rassembler des témoignages et permettre aux personnes de comprendre les dangers liés aux ondes. J'ai rencontré plusieurs personnes ayant une similitude dans les symptômes autour de moi. Je demande à l'ARS Bretagne, de faire remonter au service de santé public national mon témoignage. Ainsi, le but de mon témoignage est l'encouragement à la construction de structures médicales spécialisées en France et à la formation des médecins sur les troubles liés à l'éléctro-sensibilité, de prévoir des installations d'habitations en Zones Blanches, et la réduction des émissions des antennes de téléphonies mobiles / internet dans les villes et les villages. J'envisage de rejoindre une liste de plaignant afin de mener une action en justice commune contre les opérateurs en téléphonie mobile et réseau internet. Je vous remercie de votre lecture et de l'intérêt que vous pourrez considérer à mon histoire.
