Reports longstanding EMF sensitivity, neurological and cardiac symptoms and a cancer history, describes e…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
How I became EMF sensitive. I am 73 years old and I think, I was in my early 30's when my husband got us a new phone. He was so amazed, he could walk out of our apartment onto the sidewalk and still could talk and be heard on the other end. We keep this phone in our bedroom unfortunately. I learned many years later, the body repairs itself when we sleep. So, this phone was not letting us repair our bodies during the night. I remember, I had an one hour conversation on that phone and my head was hot and I was a bit disoriented. I made a note to myself, not to use that phone for long calls etc. I got a job working the front desk of a chiropractors office. For 13 years I sat in front of a computer, working 8 hours a day. At one point I got divorced and was walking through a Farmer's Market and this women had a cellphone. They used to have a big long antenna and she was moving her head up and down, left and right and I could feel the antenna energy, cutting through my head. You can immage, I was trying to distance myself from this lady. I eventually moved from Los Angeles to Norwalk California and moved into a mobile home. By this I was about 51 years old. Mobile homes are kind of close to each other and for some reason, I didn't like sleeping in the bed room. I preferred sleeping on the couch in the living room, against a wall, that had a switch, that turned of the energy from the electric socket. During this time, I was working out of my home and was on the computer a lot, plus I had a telephone and internet access through a satelite dish. During this time, I had a basal cell and saw a macrobiotic couselor who cured herself from a very heavy cancer. She recommended a few things to me: get rid of the satelite dish, spend less time on the compure and follow her macrobiotic diet. It took 1 year and 7 months but the basal cell was no longer cancerous. I also, looked out my bedroom window and I had 6 satelite dishes on the corner of each mobile home: my mobile home, my right neifhbor, across of him/ my right, the Mobile home directly across from me, the mobile home to my left kitty corner from me and the one to my left. That is WAY TO MUCH EXPOSURE. No wonder I didn't like sleeping in my bed room. So, I stop using Satelites for entertainment etc. At 61 I moved to Albuquerque New Mexico and they are one the top 7 states for cellphones towers. When I was 62 years I moved into a cooperative apartment complex. After 3 montjhs I started having symtoms: could only get 2 hours of sleep, I was having moments: I would loose consciousness for a few seconds, heart palpations, headaches that were very painful: like a knife was cutting through my head, tinnitus, skin rashes. Luckily I figured out what was happening to me and took steps to lower my exposure to EMF's. So, I went to a senior center and as I got closer to it, I noticed it had a cellphone tower directly across from the senior center. As I walked in, I over heard a conversation: Mary passed out at the senior center, they took her to the hospital and the doctors couldn't figure out why she passed out. I thought, I better not stay here to long, so I signed up for a class and left. As I walked out side, this cellphone tower was full of discs pointing in all directions and Up and down. I walked across the intersection, to stay away from the old cellphone tower and I was now on the sidewalk and the cellphone tower was across from me and I passed out. I must have looked my a drunk and fortunately I caught myself befroe I hit the grown. I thought, went I get home, I am going to do some research on EMF sensitivity. I learned that my symptoms were probably from EMF's and it recommended to move one's bed at least 5 feet away from the circuit breakers in my apartment. My bed was directly on the other side of were the curcuit breaker was. I 3 days, all my symstoms went a way except of the tinnitus. I was still getting occasional powerful headaches went I took a bus: which had wifi. I called comcast and asked them to turn off the wifi on the modum they gave me. 3 years later, I found out eventually that comcast not only turned the wifi back on each month when they rebooted their system but they also had a community wifi. So I was being double exposed. Not knowing this, I also never turned the comcast modem off and slept withing 5 feet of the modem. So, I was lucky, I caught it before permanent damage was done. This is how I live now: no refrigerator, not hot water tank, turned off all circuit breakers except for electric oven and kitchen electric sockets. I have no more symptoms. Except I have had moments: they were do some work through Albuquerque, to lay foundations for fiber optics Check out Great risk for EU, U.S. and International Health!

Reports longstanding dizziness and brain fog attributed to electrical and wireless exposures, describes h…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My name is Bonnie. I have noticed problems with electronics in my life over 15 years now and slowly getting worse. It is ruining my life as I've done many things over the years to improve my EMF connection. The medical doctors I've spoken to about this seemed to be not interested or just know nothing about it. I have 12 books on the subject that have helped me to some degree. I turn off electricity in my bedroom, bathroom and my office at night. I had my son disconnect the wi-fi and bluetooth and all other related wi-fi connections in my entire house. The modem is in the basement at the far end away from the bedroom. I am so aware the the neighbors out back may have pretty intense radiation from their home as they work from home. I can start my day feeling like my old self but when I turn on the electric in the basement for the whole house it all returns. Sometimes going out for a walk does help but when I drive my 2015 version of Corolla it's not stopping me from driving as I bought a device that seems to help concentrate my brain. I don't know how much longer I can go driving, however I live alone and need my car almost every day as my husband has dementia in a facility and I visit him even though I am dizzy with brain fog. That foggy brain mixed with dizzy is what I experience for symptoms at nearly all times of day, not so much at night. It's been over 15 years at least now that I have those symptoms. Back in 2015 I had a Toyota Prius and that is when I first noticed how intense this was getting. Had to sell the car since every time I drove it I would get to tired that when I returned home or anywhere I had to lie down. That forced me to sell the car and that's how I ended up buying the Corolla Toyota as it doesn't affect me so badly even though the radiation device measures in the danger zone. Can you do something about this?

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
There are many studies regarding wireless radiation. Here are two for your consideration. The public deserves to be informed of dangers, and deserves to learn ways to mitigate cellular damage, especially for children, who are more effected because their brain cells are still developing. Thank you or looking into the dangers of wireless radiation. God Bless! A Narrative Review on the Influence of Electromagnetic Fields Below 100 kHz on the Endocrine System https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3417/16/10/4910 Due to the ubiquity of low-frequency electromagnetic fields in everyday human environments, exposure to them is largely unavoidable. Their biological effects are still not fully understood. This work analyzes the relationship between low-frequency electromagnetic fields and the human endocrine system. As the endocrine system is responsible for regulating and maintaining the human body, its potential dysregulation may result in significant adverse health effects. This manuscript summarizes the existing studies addressing this topic and highlights several promising directions for future research. Mobile telephony radiation exerts genotoxic action and significantly enhances the effects of gamma radiation in human cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38099580/ Experimental animal studies and in vitro (cell culture) investigations constitute the majority of the research indicating that EMFs can influence hormone secretion and alter various cellular processes [2]. These controlled environments offer significant advantages, allowing for precise control over exposure conditions, including frequency, intensity, duration, and waveform, and enabling detailed investigation of underlying biological mechanisms at the cellular and molecular levels [4]. Consistent observations from these models include: • disruption of melatonin secretion from the pineal gland [13], • alterations in HPA axis activity and levels of stress hormones such as corticosterone and ACTH [4], • changes in thyroid hormone production, specifically fT4 [17], • adverse impacts on reproductive function, encompassing disruptions to the estrous cycle, changes in sperm quality, and altered hormone levels [2], • identification of underlying cellular changes, such as increased oxidative stress, altered ion channel activity, and DNA damage, which provide mechanistic explanations for the observed endocrine disruptions [3]. The consistency of findings across numerous animal and in vitro studies, particularly regarding specific endocrine disruptions and underlying cellular mechanisms like oxidative stress and ion channel modulation, establishes a strong mechanistic plausibility for ELFEMF effects on the endocrine system.

A family with a young child asks about short- and long-term health and environmental effects of a propose…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My family would like to know about short and long term EMF exposure from large power lines running near our home. There is a purposed route 250ft from our home for a grid growth project in Ohio (Greentown-Thistlewood (OH) 765-KV Line Project) and the grid company claims there is no threat to being so close. But if you stand under these lines with a fluorescent light bulb it lights up. I’m not believing there are no short or long term health effects to the environment or ourselves. We have a 15 month old son and plan to have more kids in the future. We are very scared and concerned about the unknown effects of EMF exposure from such power lines so close to our home. Thank you.

A building-biology practitioner argues that electrical transients, ground currents and RF modulation affe…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My name is Mayer Mayerfeld. I became certified as a Building Biologist Electromagnetic Radiation Specialist in 2022, after apprenticing and working for another Building Biologist for 4 years. I live in Brooklyn, New York and conducted several hundred Building Biology EMF assessments between 2018 and and 2022, in the Tristate region. Since 2022,rather than conducting individual assessments, I have decided to focus on research to become a more proficient expert with an eye to educating the public about this very important environmental pollutant and hopefully to influence public policy to curtail it. Radio Frequency Radiation/R.F./Wireless Microwave Radiation Communication is one of the 4 types of Man Made EMF that are often the focus of concern. The others 3 would be AC Magnetic Fields, AC Electric Fields,and Dirty Electricity - High Frequency Voltage Transients. In addition to these 4 types of EMF, Artificial light which is also an EMF, is a very important part of the picture. I would like to start with the conclusion of the NIEHS Rapid Report from 1999 and Its Working Group from 1988 cited by Kavet et al in regards to contact current. "In addition to these relative aspects of dose, the absolute (as well as modest) level of contact current modeled (18 μA) produces average electric fields in tissue along its path that exceed 1 mV/m. At and above this level, the NIEHS Working Group [1998] accepts that biological effects relevant to cancer have been reported in "numerous well-programmed studies". The effects the Working Group cites are "increased cell proliferation, disruption of signal transduction pathways, and inhibition of differentiation". The NIEHS endorses this conclusion in its final EMF RAPID report [1999]. So we see that the US government knew back in 1999 that an 18 microamp / 1millivolt per meter electric field can cause cancer. Although Kavet was discussing contact current, The Late Dave Stetzer,a senior expert in the IEEE, explained that you can induce an an 18 microamp current by means of capacitive coupling to the Dirty Electricity in the electric field from home wiring. A fair question is if it can cause cancer,what else might it be causing? Dr Samuel Milham M.D. a career epidemiologist, has published numerous papers and a book on the subject. He came to the conclusion that all modern diseases such as Cancer,Heart Disease,Diabetes,Depression,Suicide,etc. are due to man made electricity in general and dirty electricity in particular. Dave Stetzer explained that the most bio-active frequencies were between 1.7 kilohertz and 100 kilohertz. This is based on his discussion with Russian Scientists and possibly based on classified information that he had from his time serving in the USAF. That range of frequency is within the RF range and so it is pertinent to the discussion.The problem of High Frequency Voltage Transients is compounded by the fact that the utility companies in all 50 states have been allowed to use the earth as a return circuit, against the rules of the IEEE. Despite being warned decades ago by their own nonprofit research arm - EPRI - that they need to add Neutral return capacity to avoid using the earth as a return circuit, instead the Electric Utilities decided to expose the entire US population to these ground currents. This is a failure of the government to regulate electric power transmission in such a way as to prevent it from being a health hazard. In respect to Microwave wireless communications,most people focus on the power density and or the high frequency aspect of this radiation. However I would like to point out the work of Dr. Dimitris Panagopolous. a Biophysiscist. Among the factors that he says are of concern are the Pulsation and Modulation of the the High Frequency waves with Extremely low frequencies. It is these pulsations and modulations that are in fact the most harmful aspect of wireless communications in his view. I would also Like to point out the work of the Late Arthur Firstenberg and his very well researched book The Invisible Rainbow. One aspect that he focuses on is the deleterious effect of Man Made Electric Fields on the Electron Transport Chain. He also cites numerous examples of how in addition to Human Health, Man Made EMfs are causing Bird,Amphibian, and insect die-offs, as well as harming Plants and Trees. It should be noted that many so called Green Technologies, although credited with lowering Carbon Dioxide, are actually doing far more harm to the environment and the climate with EMFs. For Example Solar Panels. They produce large amounts of Dirty Electricity. I would also like to cite the voluminous work of Dr. Jack Kruse a Neurosurgeon and Quantum Biologist especially with his focus on how Man Made EMFs or as he terms it Non Native EMFs negatively impact the Electron Transport Chain in Humans. I conclude with the call Of Arthur Firstenberg: At the very least Mankind must go back to 1995 levels of RF.

Reports severe electrosensitivity worsening after COVID, extensive spending on mitigation, inability to w…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I had a big, beautiful life before I started getting sick. I started getting all the random symptoms associated with EMFs in 2020 with the release of 5g. I didn’t know the cause of my symptoms until I got Covid in August of 2021. It was during my 3 weeks of being sick that I suddenly couldn’t hold my phone without feeling the energy it was radiating. It made feel like I was being punched in the gut followed by a laundry list of symptoms. Apparently, Covid threw me over the edge and all the symptoms I was already dealing with became 100 times louder. This started a chain reaction where I stopped being able to handle any EMFs. I can now feel and react to all cell phones, WIFI, bluetooth, wearables, general electricity, and the radiation coming off of people and things. I get every commonly listed symptom of EMF/radiation exposure and then some. I have spent endless hours researching and doing everything possible to improve my situation and ameliorate my symptoms. I have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to do things to safeguard my home, buying devices that were supposed to help, and endless protocols to help detox my body/calm my nervous system/etc.. All to no avail. I have been unable to leave my home for over 5 years (much longer if you include the Covid lockdown time from which I have never been released). Because I get sick from the radiation I feel coming off of people, I have to stay isolated. I have been incarcerated and in solitary confinement without ever committing a crime. I have been completely disabled and lost my ability to work, but disability coverage supposedly isn’t an option as this isn’t a covered disease/illness. I have lost almost all of my friends and family since I can’t participate in the relationships. Since most of them don’t understand or believe that their beloved technology is harmful, it has caused a rift in my relationships. If I was sick with cancer, people would be rallying around me with offers of help and support. This is not the case with electrosensitivity. Most want to be in denial that it’s an issue and it’s easier to just call me crazy than it is to own that these technologies are harmful and this can be a real result of their use. Somehow, it’s easier for people to believe that I wanted to give up my big, beautiful life in trade for isolation and suffering than it is to believe that our government would allow us to all be subjected to harmful frequencies. It is criminal that I should have to suffer to such a degree because of everybody’s addiction to these dangerous technologies. These non-native frequencies should have never been released onto the population. I have always been the canary type, which, in the end, is probably a gift as I am able to protect myself as best I can from these frequencies/radiation when the rest of the world is ignorant to their destruction. A few final notes: before I got sick, I used to notice that my dogs would move to the far side of the room every time I would pick up my phone. At the time, I realized they were reacting to my phone, but I didn’t have the conscious awareness or understanding of what it was doing to them or how bad it actually feels to be sensitive to these devices. I feel horrible now that I am having this experience that I subjected them to it. I can also tell the difference between houses that use hardwired internet and those that use 5g or satellite technologies. The ones that use these newer wireless technologies put off so much radiation that the entire neighborhood becomes loaded with it and I can’t go near it. I used to be able to walk my dog on different streets near me, but as people have changed their internet providers to these technologies, I have had to stop taking my dog any farther than just a few house in one direction before I have to retreat to my home.
 And finally, the release of 5g has drastically increased the amount of constant harmful radiation people are being subjected to 24/7. Because I have the uncommon ability/curse to feel radiation, rather than just the frequencies. I have experienced a progression in the last several years of accumulated radiation on people and objects. The change in the amount of radiation has been drastic from when I first got sick to now. It is scary to viscerally experience what has happened to our world with the release of these microwave technologies. They are lightyears more harmful than the previous generations and they have polluted our world more than anybody can imagine. 
 I hope this information is helpful and actually contributes to changes in policy as my life has been 100% destroyed by Big Tech and the US Government’s lack of response in protecting its citizens.

Reports diagnosed EHS, symptoms and lasting hand disability attributed to smart meters and electrical exp…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My name is and I live in New Jersey. I am a former nurse and 67 years old. I was diagnosed with EHS environmental hypersensitivity in 2018 when I moved into a rental after selling my house. Within less than two days I was falling over from dizziness bruised four ribs couldn’t swallow. I was crying filled with anxiety and depression. When two days prior I was perfectly fine. Then more symptoms started appearing, and then I knew that I was being exposed to something. This was not normal and I went to my integrative who had diagnosed me a few years prior with mold illness. A rattle off 17 symptoms and he asked me if I had a smart meter on the building and I said what is that? I’ve never heard of one and I had no idea what it was and he explained and he said go back there and take a look and see if you have one in sure enough I did. I bought a tri meter to test the radiation and I have the videos of it and times out can’t even measure the radiation level. It’s so high. Every meter. Then I came inside to check the dirty energy coming out of the sockets and the radiation is blaring out of them too. Now I’ve got the refrigerator. That’s a smart. I have to have all these boards the circuit boards removed from my appliances because you’re all a bunch of criminals and you’re violating our constitutional rights and we don’t want any part of this nonsense and you’re trying to shove it down our throats. What we’re gonna shove it right back down your throat so that you can choke just as we’re choking. So then they put a smart meter in my house my water authority in my township without my permission and I have opt out for a traditional analog. They’re refusing to give me one and instead they’re threatening to call outreach and social services to do a fully evaluation and intervention so they’d rather lock me up then address the fact that the smart meter they placed in my house now a year and a half ago is caused permanent damage to my hands. I have CRPS the most painful disease known to medicine no cure no treatment so they’ve caused permanent disability in these hands now with that meter and they’ve committed a bias crime because they were in receipt of my doctors letters from 23 when I moved in along with all the medical documentation of the harms that come to people when they’re exposed to this radiation and that there’s never been long-term safety studies of 10 to 15 years because or lousy government, all of you three letter agencies, you know what you’re doing and by refusing to do a long-term safety study, which was demanded of you in 2012 which of course you ignored and then you just threw them on all the houses and businesses just sick and everybody because you knew if you did the long-term safety studies it would prove that they were highly unsafe and that they were causing heart attack strokes, cancer‘s birth defects, auto immunity, which is not the body attacking itself. That’s another lie. The medical community got wrong and so anyway it’s the same thing as cannabis you got away with saying there was no medical benefit yeah because you didn’t do the studies so that wasn’t a lie was it? But you harmed a lot of people by keeping it and illegal drug in the same class with heroin when nobody’s ever died or been harmed from cannabis and you also took out patterns in the 60s in the 70s on different properties within the cannabis plant now why would you have done that if there was no medical benefit? That’s fraud corruption. But you put veterans in jail for being picked up in the possession of one joint. One cannabis joint and a brave man that fought for this country the wars you got us into intentionally so you could make money you sacrifice our good decent men and women and then you verify them when they come home you won’t give them support you won’t give me even a small little tiny house and you give them the lousiest medical care that there is on the planet. Thank you veterans for doing the job that nobody else would do and now we’re gonna disrespect you on your way back home. These things are not safe and I’m living the proof because my blood pressure from this smart meter they put in my house a little over a year ago is spiking my BP up to 150/110 and like BP along with the permanent damage to my hands through the nervous system, which all this dirty energy is known to constantly irritate and that’s why I can’t have them in her on my house and so my township is in violation of my rights, the law, a whole bunch of laws, HUD and more so where is my free lawyer paid for my tax money. I’m sick of suffering because if you’re a corruption. Everybody’s sick from these meters that’s your answer. The majority of people want these off their houses that’s your answer. Just look at the medical documentation of what this stuff does you don’t need to be taking surveys you’re supposed to be doing your job and these things never should’ve been!

Reports changes in sleep and intestinal symptoms associated with electrical mitigation products, objects …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I had a gizmo put into my electric box so that I could turn off circuits at night. It helped me sleep and my SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) got better. Then it stopped working and the guy who sold it to me would not honor the warranty. My SIBO returned and my sleep got worse. Since then I have put in a Blueshield. Gradually my SIBO is improving and I am sleeping better but not great. During this time Delmarva put in a smart meter against my will. Also the number of antennae in the area where I live keeps getting higher and higher. When I first moved here, there were hardly any antennae. But now there are 124 within a three mile range! I need to move.
