Electromagnetic sensitivity

I am commenting here as a person that has been living electromagnetic intolerance since 2008. This has changed my life. It started when i realized by body was reacting to a router (I was living with roomates and I did not know the existence of internet routers) which prevented me from sleeping throughout a full night) and made me walk in a zig-zag pattern after a week of exposure. That was totally new to me (2008). The frequencies highened through the years and going to the city affected me in a way I needed 2 days to recover. Once, my brain swell was important enough that I had a little seizure. Since then, I use protective garnments, covering my full face and upper body when I go out where it is irradiated with wireless frequencies. We feel it in a very sharp manner (needle going throught the body/head, pressure on the heart, body burning...) I know SO many people going through hell (heart problems, eyes, nerve pain, burning througout the body, spasms, depression, constant 24/24 headaches, ...) because of wireless technology. I have a couple of friends that took their own lives because of physical pain and incapacity to be part of this society. It is very difficult also to find a place to live that does not create body pain and symptoms since wireless sensitity is associated to electrical sensitivity. So in resumé....no possibility of working, to house ourselves correctly, seclusion because of radiations everywhere and almost everybody have a cell phone/watch. The only doctors that would give us a diagnosis (not even a handful here) have been rebuked and threatened by their professional order. We need help... thanks for the work Mr Kennedy

Before installation of 4G cell towers in the Netherlands I was not sensitive to wireless electromagnetic radiation, apart from continuous hearing of a high frequency sound. This changed when a cell tower was installed at 300 m distance of our house. We defended our house with black paint,curtains with iron thread, aluminum foil and fine-mesh iron fencing, disconnecting wifi, and using only cable connections. These measures helped for being safely at home for a while. In 2024 when 5G was installed I unfortunately became extremely sensitive for this radiation by cell towers, wifi, blue-tooth and mobile phones. I had to leave our church with a cell tower at a distance of 50 m. With my broadband RF meter "Safe and Sound Pro II" I discovered that too much radiation now entered our house despite our protection measures. The density of cell towers in Holland is so high that there are few places with low radiation and we could not find another affordable house at a safe place. We had no other option than to move to another country. In Hungary we found a small village where the radiation is almost zero in one of the streets where we bought a house to live in since last November. But health problems are not over yet. When going to other places here for shopping etc. I must have my cap and belt around my neck with silver thread on in order to protect myself, but even then I suffer often from nasty symptoms. The radiation is also tricky in that I usually don't experience its effects immediately and that the first symptoms are mild. When I have been in an environment with high radiation for a longer time, more heavy symptoms may continue afterwards for the rest of the day and sometimes even the next day, like continuous head pressure, headache, dizziness, fatigue, sleepiness, oppression on my throat, etc. A complete list of symptoms that I experienced since 4G was installed, I have added as a supporting document. The 27 symptoms are more than half of the about 40 known symptoms due to wireless radiation. Most people are already so addicted to their mobile phone, that it is nearly impossible to avoid the radiation when meeting others. Of course I do not and can not use a mobile phone, but my wife has one for necessary things. When she is using her phone, I had to go to another room in order not to become sick (she now works with a cable connection with her mobile phone). It is awful and completely unnecessary that mobile phones are obligatory for more and more activities, especially public authorities. I find it really criminal that the level of wireless radiation has been raised so high in the Western world. It is completely unnecessary, for wireless telecom is working also very well at much lower levels and with less frequencies. In Russia and China they use now levels that are about 100 times less than in de West. It is well-known that high levels of wireless radiation may kill people and can be used as a bio-weapon. Not only humans, also all living creatures suffer from this radiation. There is enormous scientific evidence that many insect species (like bees), but also many other animals become extinct in areas with a lot of radiation, especially in the neighborhood of cell towers and radar. Also plants are suffering and dying, for instance by smart electricity meters. The warming up of the atmosphere partly will be due to all the energy that is pumped in the air by wireless radiation. Wireless electromagnetic radiation is in fact completely unnecessary and should be stopped completely in order to restore the life conditions on our planet. The existing national and international exposure standards and guidelines, for instance from ICNIRP and FCC are outdated. ICNIRP is an organization with members of the telecom industry or connected with it. It is not an independent organization and its members are not democratically chosen. They neglect and deny all effects that are not thermal. The height of radiation that they think is safe, is much too high and is not based on sound scientific research. The publications on which they base their conclusions are corrupt and are funded by telecom and government organizations which are prejudiced and biased. P.S. Insects, other animals and plants abound in the area where we live now.

I am a physician and have many patients who report EMF sensitivity. Their symptoms include, increased fatigue, cognitive difficulties, neurological symptoms. fasciculations, headaches, insomnia, tachycardia, and more when exposed to RF waves. I have examined the literature and there is a plethora of published research demonstrating mechanisms that explain that EMF sensitivity is a true phenomenon. With the potential for DNA breaks when exposed to RF levels that are lower than modern cell phones, it would be worth evaluating whether the increased exposure to RF that our modern society has compared to just 2004 may be a contributor to increased cancer rates we are seeing in all ages.

I am sensitive and feel being close to a 5g tower has been detrimental to my health. Please help us and look into the seriousness of these towers being close to homes and schools.

Hello, I'm living in Belgium and I know I'm electrohypersensitif since 4 years, but I'm suffering from electrohypersensitivity since 28 years. I had a lot of symptoms since all these years, tinnitus, headaches, visual problems and burning eyes, fatigue, sleeping problems, burning sensations in the head, balance problems, nervousness, agitation, just feeling horrible... I live since these 28 years near to an antenna and little by little my symptoms became worse, particulary after the installation of 4G and 4G+. I can't live in my house anymore and have to go sleeping outside in my van, summer and winter. I'm still searching for a white zone, but i't's really hard to find, since antennas are installed everywhere. I've asked for help at the local authorities, but they don't want to take away the antenne or change the orientation of the antenna, even if other neighbours have symptoms as well. I lost my job as a welder, and can't even follow another formation to learn another job, because there is wif-fi and phones everywhere. My health is suffering a lot from the wireless technology. During this 4 years, I met so many other people who are suffering from electrohypersensitivity. It's terrible for the young generation too, who are themselves impacted, sometimes without knowing why. I want to thank you that you give us the opportunity to alert around this question. There was a local tv that made a news report about our situation. Here is the link: https://www.notele.be/it505-media162960-le-plus-de-l-info-l-electro-hypersensibilite-comment-vivre-avec-ce-calvaire.html. I'm part of one of the 2 belgian organisations (AREHS and VEHS) of people suffering from ehs, there are more 1000 people in the both, but we can observe that a lot of more people have become ehs and are not yet membres.

Hello, I am 50 y.o. EHS person, from Italy. I became Electro Hypersensitive around May 27th 2022. All of a sudden my laptop caused me nausea, fatigue and insomnia. Also Wi.Fi, mobile phone, cell sites, bluetooth devices, electric motors...started giving me these main symptoms in a range of time from a few seconds to two hours, depending on the amount of the electromagnetic field and/or radio frequencies. I bought several meters, especially the Safe&Sound Pro II for the radio frequencies. I feel good and I do not need any shielding clothes up to 3 microWatt per square meter. Up to 1000 mW/m2 I can resist a couple of hours if I am pretty shielded (overall suit, hat) At 3000 mW/m2 I resist a couple of hours only if I add the facial net, but it is challenging and I have to escape to a safe place, if there is. At 50.000 mW/m2 (when a cell site is on sight) I resist no more than 20 minutes with my shielding clothes. With a cell phone calling in my hands (3 million mW/m2 at contact level) I resist for a few seconds. So I can't take trains, buses, many airplanes, big ferry boats (due to the radar). The only way I can use a computer is to keep it beyond a wall and to use a video projector beyond a tin window with triple glass. Many houses are off limits (for WiFi and antennas) and most of the cars, too. I lost my career in film-making when I became EHS. Thank god I can teach in kindergartens and I live in one of the few healy houses left. Otherwise I would have to abandon my wife and my son and I would starve in the woods. EHS is not a nocebo effect at all. We always get the symptoms first, then we discover the cause. The solution is to use cable connections everywhere (for mobile phones, too), wherever electricity arrives, indoor and outdoor. Easy and safe. This is the future. Thanks for asking and for reading.

I submit these comments as an individual consumer and concerned family member (Q2). People cannot readily opt out of ambient exposure from nearby antennas. I urge federal agencies to reassess whether existing limits adequately address lifelong, real-world exposures, including for children and ecosystems. Q3–4: Sources of concern include cell towers/small cells, phones, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, smart meters, and wearables. People report headaches, sleep disruption, fatigue, and other symptoms they associate with RF exposure. Investigate these reports systematically without assuming causation. I report no personal diagnosis or clinical observations. Agencies should collect nonidentifying reports documenting device/source, measured exposure, timing, symptoms, medical evaluation, and changes after exposure reduction, using blinded tests where feasible. Q5–6: Compare FCC limits with ICNIRP 2020 and IEEE standards, WHO reviews, and IARC assessments. Explain how limits address frequency, SAR, power density, modulation, duty cycle, beamforming, distance, exposure duration, and multiple sources. The U.S. National Toxicology Program reported clear evidence of malignant heart schwannomas in male rats under specific high-level RF exposure conditions; these results do not establish risks from everyday 5G exposure. IARC classified RF fields as “possibly carcinogenic” (Group 2B) in 2011. Recent human reviews, however, found no increased risk for several studied cancers. Assess studies below limits and distinguish cellular changes from proven harm. Q7–9: Use calibrated broadband and frequency-selective meters, personal dosimeters, SAR testing, and validated modeling. Measure actual exposures across locations and times, including indoors, during peak traffic, and from multiple sources. Publish accessible antenna locations, operating characteristics, compliance methods, measured exposure ranges, uncertainties, and ways to request independent review. Q10–11: Build privacy-protective surveillance combining cancer registries, occupational and environmental monitoring, longitudinal cohorts, and voluntary adverse-event reports. Investigate clusters with comparison groups; reports are not proof. Biomarkers for individual RF dose are not established. Prioritize children, pregnant people, older adults, workers near transmitters, people with implanted medical devices (including interference risks), and people with preexisting conditions. Evaluate symptoms reported by people identifying as electromagnetically hypersensitive without presuming an RF cause. Q12–13: Investigate reproducible biological findings reported below some limits, while recognizing that a laboratory effect is not necessarily a health hazard. Compare exposure profiles—not merely the number of devices—for 5G, emerging 6G, Wi-Fi, satellites, IoT, wearables, smart homes/cities, autonomous vehicles, wireless medical devices, and smart meters. Exposure characteristics differ. Require updated assessments when technologies change. Q14–15: Fund rigorous studies of pollinators, birds, plants, and livestock, controlling for pesticides, habitat, climate, and other factors. An evidence map found hundreds of studies with quality limitations. Evaluate installations near homes, schools, childcare and healthcare facilities using site-specific measurements, cumulative neighborhood assessments, antenna characteristics, and realistic small-cell operation. Q16–17: NIH should fund independent, preregistered long-term epidemiology, developmental research, animal replication, and mechanistic studies. FDA should evaluate consumer and medical devices; CDC should coordinate surveillance and risk communication. FCC and health agencies should publicly explain how new evidence informs exposure standards and disclose conflicts of interest. Q18: I request (1) a time-bound, public reassessment of RF limits and their treatment of long-term, multi-source exposure; (2) publicly accessible environmental monitoring; (3) special review and community consultation for installations near schools and homes; (4) funding for ecological and human studies independent of industry; (5) practical wired options and clear device settings for consumers; and (6) a transparent process to report concerns and challenge incomplete compliance assessments. The 2021 decision in Environmental Health Trust v. FCC required the FCC to better explain its treatment of certain health and environmental issues; it did not find that 5G causes disease. A rigorous, updated public accounting is necessary.

Cir. 2021); WHO-commissioned systematic review of RF exposure and cancer (Environment International, 2024).

Hej! Jag blev allvarligt sjuk när 3 G masten kom upp 400 meter från mitt hem! Jag blev inlagd på sjukhus!Fick hjälp utav elöverkänsligas förbund och sover sedan dess i Baldakin! Detta var 2006, Hälsninga Nonie Sweden

For over 15 years I am electrohypersensitive . In the beginning it was only to wifi . In the meantime I am sensitive to all kinds of high frequency radiation and also to electrical and magnetical fields . My story began when I first had a wifi installed in my house . I was recovering from an infection at that time and at a certain point I became so ill that I couldn’t take care of myself . For over 2 years I wasn’t able to talk fluently , to walk as I used to walk , I was sensitive to sound , light , my sleep was completely disturbed , … I didn’t know what was going on . At a certain point in time , my next door neighbour had solar panels installed on her roof . Nothing wrong with that . But around that time my health deteriorated even more and … the higher I came in my house , the more ‘drunk’ I felt ; and when I again came to the ground floor , that ‘drunk’ feeling improved a little bit . This was so strange . Thank God I had at that time a very good GP , medical doctor , who asked me about ‘changes in my environment’ and laughingly , not knowing why he asked me that , I jokingly said : ‘hahaha , my neighbour has put solar panels on the roof.’ My GP ’s reaction was very serious , saying : ‘this can become a different story’ . I then asked a mitigation expert from the Netherlands (at that time there weren’t many) and I had the wifi switched off and some other changes . AND in less than 2 weeks time I again became ‘a different person’ , again functioning normally , feeling much healthier , so many symptoms and sensitivities disappeared . In the course of those 15 years I’ve tried to cope with the increasing amount of radiation , but unfortunately in the past 7 years my health again has gotten worse . There is too much radiation for me and I also became sensitive to electrical and magnetical fields . I have no wireless devices of any kind in my house and my electricity network is shielded . But my neighbours , the community , the town … the amount of EMF has exploded in the past years . It has become very hard , or hardly impossible to leave my house , to have a social life , to visit relatives or friends and even then I am ill each and every day . Is there a place for us , people with EHS , where we can live a healthy life ?

In 2017, after experiencing much discomfort like burning fingers and hands when I used my computer, I hired a Building Biologist to test the house that I lived in. He found several areas where i could make an adjustment to lessen the radiation. I was already paying an additional monthly fee to FPL for having my "Smart Meter' removed. I paid my neighbor to cover her "Smart Meter" since I was receiving a high reading in my house from it. My Prius Hybrid car was also partially disabled electronically. The thing that I could not rectify was the dirty electricity in the wall in 2 areas of the house. No electrician at the time understood what I was talking about. It would cost about $1000. to investigate before any work would be done. I sold my home and purchased a piece of land in the woods. Driving the Prius for 22 years, before that I drove the "Think" all electric car for 36 months and loving electronics, made me more sensitive, I think. I have found relief here "Off Grid", but there is always the need for power in this modern world. Solar panels, batteries, inverter...items I try to keep my distance from. Friend and family think I'm a bit extreme but they do not live in my body.
