The submitted recap describes EHS and MCS, worsening symptoms with meters and wireless expansion, extensi…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
AI Recap - full version attached. Introduction Thank you to Health and Human Services for investigating how radiofrequency (RF) radiation affects life on Earth. I am submitting this as an individual severely impacted by all four types of electromagnetic fields (EMFs). Timeline of Symptoms & Diagnosis 2007: Developed severe Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) following an unidentified odor exposure in my former home. Experts noted that individuals with MCS frequently go on to develop Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS). 2008: Secured permanent remote work accommodations due to severe asthma triggered by workplace fragrances and photosensitivity to fluorescent office lighting. 2012: Maintained a stable environment with low-transmission Wi-Fi and a 3G smartphone. RF levels remained low (.05 V/m), and dirty electricity lines registered within acceptable parameters (35–50 GSU). This is the 1st year I received an accommodation to retain use of my older low-EMF workplace laptop which continued until 2018. 2016: Onset of full EHS triggered by the nationwide 4G rollout, stronger neighboring Wi-Fi networks, and switching to a 4G smartphone. Physical contact with the phone caused burning pain and head lesions. Discontinued home Wi-Fi and transitioned to a completely hardwired internet network. Readings on my Acoustimeter increased to .06-.35. I can now hear cell antenna transmissions sounds on my RF meter. The Graham Stetzer Line Meter readings are now 50-100 GSU. 2018: A water utility smart meter installation caused immediate, severe brain fog, heart palpitations, and anxiety. The meter was successfully removed, but the threat of forced re-installation remains a constant source of stress. August 2024: A severe regional storm knocked out utility power and local cell antennas for six days. During this outage, chronic EHS symptoms temporarily vanished, restoring cognitive clarity and relieving skin irritation. • Recent Medical History (2024–2026): Required an emergency room visit for heart attack-like symptoms, specialized steroid eye drops for severe EHS-related dry eye, and dental interventions for chronic jaw clenching caused by EMF-induced nighttime pain. 2026 Current Living Environment & Mitigations Environmental exposure has surged due to dense local cellular infrastructure (396 towers and 244 antennas within a 3-mile radius according to AntennaSearch) and powerful neighboring Wi-Fi mesh routers. Ambient RF readings now average .15 to 1.0 V/m, and dirty electricity spikes up to 500 GSU. To cope, I have implemented strict mitigation protocols: Shielding: Installed double layers of Swiss Shield Naturelle fabric on bedroom walls, though it cannot entirely block neighboring mesh routers or smart home devices. •Grid Isolation: Unplug major kitchen appliances when not in use. Manually shut off targeted electrical circuits at night to reduce ambient electric fields. Hardwired Device Infrastructure: Home Wi-Fi is entirely banned, and the incoming internet COAX cable is physically disconnected every night. Smart Device Isolation: My smartphone operates strictly via grounded Ethernet adapters with every internal wireless radio (RF, NFC, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4G, and Location Services) completely disabled. Texts are drafted on airplane mode and transmitted rapidly during brief activation windows. Isolation & Daily Disruptions: I must spend the majority of my day inside specialized protective canopies. Standard social activities like going to the gym, dining out, or participating in recreational leagues are impossible. Routine chores require leaving the house for hours due to the massive dirty electricity fields produced by modern digital appliance displays. Symptoms - Exposure to active RF radiation or elevated dirty electricity consistently triggers: •Loud, persistent tinnitus •Burning, itchy skin and physical lesions •Severe headaches, intense head pressure, and dizzy spells •Chronic fatigue, sleep disturbances, and acute memory difficulties •Sharp, stabbing body pains, severe muscle tightening, and chest pain •Heart palpitations, systemic food sensitivities, and rapid full-body overheating Financial and Personal Impact Over $50,000 has been expended on specialized RF meters, structural shielding fabric, grounded adapters, professional building biology consultations, and extensive integrative or environmental medical care. Maintenance requires daily testing with an Acoustimeter because routine operating system updates (such as Windows 11) regularly override system configurations and silently reactivate hidden hardware radios via the UEFI BIOS. Conclusion True relief is achieved only through absolute EMF avoidance. I spend multiple days per week sitting in remote park areas where background RF is minimal, supplementing avoidance with earthing, magnesium foot soaks, and cold showers. I live in persistent anxiety regarding the ongoing deployment of modern utility and cellular infrastructure.

The commenter argues multiple electromagnetic sources may harm health and requests mandatory independent …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
The world we live in, from electrical frequencies within the body to the Schumann Resonance of the planet itself, works on frequencies. While many frequencies could be labeled as beneficial, there are MANY that are not. The types of radiation that eminate from dirty electricity, WiFi, Bluetooth, "smart" meters, LED lights, Cell phones/towers, some musical frequencies, and many many from military devices are extremely harmful to human health. Please do the righ tthing for once and force any company to comply with third-party studies into the harmful effects of the frequencies they are putting out and make data reporting MANDATORY!

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
With the arrival of 3G in 2008, and the purchase of a 3G phone, symptoms quickly appeared: troubled vision in the morning as if in fog that was gradually dissipating; others became permanent, headaches, sleep disorders, tingling in the limbs when I worked on computers. I aligned these symptoms in an online search and discovered that these symptoms are due to intolerance to electromagnetic waves. I had to transform all the equipment in my house with specific solutions, with the help of a habitat biologist specialized in this case: shielded cables, grounded and insulated the bedroom walls. The symptoms decreased as long as I stay out of the wifi zone and call with the fixed line, the mobile only for emergencies and no more than 5 minutes away from my head. I could no longer frequent places with wifi and fixed wireless phones (DECT), or exposed to cell towers. With the proliferation of connected devices, the widespread use of connected objects via WiFi, and then the free WiFi in all public places, everything for me was getting worse: headaches, tingling sensations on the body, skin burns on the wrists, ankles, and face, digestive disorders, poor sleep, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, weight loss, tinnitus, zooms in on the head, ear warming even without calling, and when I started to experience loss of time reference and orientation, I informed my employer that I will no longer be able to keep this position, which is too exposed. This disability no longer allows me to work or even live in our house surrounded by wifi, so running away is my only salvation. I survive only thanks to an off-the-air location in the forest or in the basement of my parents' house, which is protected from the antennas by a good concrete screed, while waiting to find a place in a white zone and sell our house. I finally found a small village where there are no smart meters in operation, no cell towers nearby, no electrical cables above the house (since I have also become intolerant of 50 Hz), and the possibility of high-performance wired communication. (internet and telephone). To slowly regain health – even though my prolonged exposure has caused irreversible symptoms and permanent disability – I sleep every night in an isolated yurt in a faraday cage, That is, zero waves, but I can only expose myself in polluted places covered with three protective fabrics and limit exposure to a maximum of one or two hours. Regarding my trips, they are restricted (on average once every two or three weeks). I am dependent on my husband for all the groceries.

The commenter describes illness after living near transmitters, reports electromagnetic intolerance and l…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
In 1999, I moved close to a pylon whose role I completely ignored. From the very first night, I didn’t sleep a wink. Then it persisted and other debilitating and painful symptoms arrived. I ended up finding out what this pylon was used for and I learned that it was a variety of transmitters: France television, the beginning of mobile telephony in France, microwave links and FM radio. At the time, I was working as a computer scientist at the CNES in Toulouse and a neighboring colleague who specialized in satellites and therefore their protection against electromagnetic fields alerted me to leave in order to preserve my health. That’s what she was doing on her end by selling her house to flee the neighborhood. Despite his advice and the discovery of many patients with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s in the environment of transmitters, I had lost all discernment and ability to react. It must be said that these were pollution emitters in Toulouse (France) for which professional measures requested by sick residents had revealed levels of high frequencies up to 20 volts at the foot of homes. Finally, after years of fighting, these emitters were dismantled due to extreme emissions. The neighborhood was a cluster of neurodegenerative diseases and others...? Following my years under the pylon, I first lost sleep, felt permanent agitation, and developed fluctuating symptoms like multiple sclerosis, such as blurred vision, paraesthesia, temporary loss of motor skills after heavy exposure, headaches, oppressions, nausea, chronic fatigue, concentration problems with confusion, pins and needles, loss of perception of body sensations and obstacles etc. I am passing on this whole long and painful period where my whole world has collapsed. It took me a long time (years) to realize that I had to mourn a normal life. I was able to regain better condition thanks to anti-wave canopies for sleeping and protecting my living space, where I am the most permeable and vulnerable to waves. To limit my exposure, in order to best maintain my intellectual and physical faculties, I must drastically limit my exposures. I can no longer work, so my income and social life are significantly altered. For these reasons, I receive a small disability pension related to the consequences of my intolerance to almost all electromagnetic fields. I am particularly affected by WIFI frequencies, all types of high frequencies, and power lines that disrupt the 50 Hertz network (all boxes, Enédis smart meters in France). Currently, it is complicated, even with the best protections, to avoid the multiplicity of connected objects in the neighborhood that fit everywhere, including under two layers of canopy for certain technologies such as Wi-Fi boxes and CPL in France, which sometimes use the earth from the electrical network to connect to the earthing system, I don’t understand why these connected tools do not remain within the framework of their home or professional network by using two-way wireless instead of constantly watering several meters away. There would also be the possibility of mapping one’s environment and limiting oneself to it. Today I no longer have access to much, and I am concerned about the proliferation of these antennas and devices connected via WiFi and Bluetooth, which for some no longer offer the option of deactivation. Accessing healthcare in a hospital setting is very complicated for people with my disability. For important care, it is torture that adds to an already difficult situation. I am doing my best today to survive with resilience, hoping to find myself a healthy and low-exposed place. I have been searching for years because the equation is very complicated. In the meantime, I want to avoid suffering too much as much as possible so that I can stay at peace regardless of the outcome.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Thank you for participating! Please note that CPTF safeguards the confidentiality of your data. 1. & 2. Responding as: an individual 3a. Type of sources: Injured by: Mobile phones; Wi-Fi; Smart Meters, Dirty Electricity; High Tension Powerline Fields, all have detrimental effects on my system 3b. Nature, duration, frequency, timing: Started in May, 2012, (so 14-years) with the installation of a non UL approved, constant transmitting smart meter on my home. Smart meter came from China. I was COMPLETELY healthy prior to that time. The results from the injury still persists. 3c. Adverse health effects: Welting, itching, burning, peeling of the skin on my face, neck and upper and elbow creases of both arms; heart palpitations, headaches, dizziness. 3d. Time from exposure to appearance of adverse effects; did a change coincide with onset: Time from first exposure to appearance of adverse health effect: 1-week. Yes, change in exposure did/does coincide with onset of adverse effects. I had none of the adverse effects prior to first exposure. 3e. Medical evaluation sought? Diagnosis? YES. Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity currently renamed to Electromagnetic Spectrum Syndrome; my term is Electromagnetic Spectrum Injury. 3f. Steps taken to reduce exposure; subsequent changes in effects: Yes. I requested that the smart meter be removed from my home and I was told by the utility company I'd have to pay $50/mo. to "opt out". I told them I never "opted in" and that I wanted the meter off my house. The utility company complied approximately 14-months later. I keep my cellphone on airplane mode and ask others to do the same when I'm with them; I have a hard-wired computer; I limit visiting homes of family and friends who don't understand the effects of electromagnetic field/electromagnetic radiation overexposure; I limit flying because of the massive amount of EMF/EMR in the airport and on a plane when cellphones are active; I drive a 2005 vehicle which has low EMR, removing all metals from my mouth, which is an extremely slow and expensive process. My symptoms are more quiet presently through my efforts to minimize exposure. However, symptoms will flare within hours of overexposure. Unfortunately, limiting exposure also means limiting contact with family and friends. 3g.

Alleges microwave attacks, satellite surveillance, bodily harm and manipulation of household systems.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am a targeted individual since 9/19/19. I am a victim of microwave abuse since 4/23/20, i.e. directed energy attacks, microwave hearing which is generated from a cell phone tower to the brain, Vircator attacks to body and feet, which is a painful burning sensation. The culprit is Space Force, Schriever Base, Colorado Springs, Co. This facility employs 8,000 and is 1200 ft underground. Their spy satellites monitor me 24/7 for as long as I have been targeted, maybe longer. These powerful satellites have X-ray vision into any building and can listen to conversations. In addition, they manage a satellite that places a person in a comatose state and is used on me every single night. (Kash Patel has not cleaned up the FBI and their public private partnership Infragard. The house is hard wired for surveillance, massive property damage, cyberstalking, weaponization of electrical system, vehicle stalking, staged accidents, and so much more abuse.) This is the most inhumane program on earth.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
& 2. an individual 3a. Type of wireless or RF/EMF sources involved (e.g., mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters…)Mobile phones, wi-fi routers, smart meters, cell towers, cordless telephones 3b. Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years):22 years 3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced:Headaches, insomnia, pain in brain, irritability, fatigue, brain fog, concentration, personality/mood, general "happiness" disappears, depression or anxiety like symptoms. 3d. Time from first exposure to first appearance of adverse health effects; and did a change in exposure coincide with the onset of adverse effects:Adverse affects with each exposure to close proximety to cell tower. Then wi-fi, cell phones, cordless phones, computers and routers. Basically anything with radio frequency. The effects are immefiate sometimes. Other times, the effects are cumulative and symptoms increase gradually over time, such as over two hours. 3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis?I did seek medical treatment with the cell tower exposure, but at the time I did not know it was the cell tower causing severe symptoms. Doctor just "trialed" thyroid medication due to fatigue. However the blood tests did not show thyroid dysfunction. 3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects?Yes and symptoms resolved. 3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information:I have Scientic Reports that also support the ill health affects of RF. I have dozens of reports from specialists. Additional Details you would like to share about your experiences of adverse health effects you believe to be associated with exposure to wireless radiation or EMF's:My life has been profoundly negatively affected by radio frequency radiation (RF). I have been disabled by it. I can no longer comfortably stay in hotels, travel, or stay with friends who will not turn off wi-fi or cell phones. B1a. Sources you experience as causing you Adverse Effects:Wi-fi, cell phones/towers, smart meters, anything "smart" or TV's, tv antaennas. I notice combining several devices cause symptoms to be worse. B1b. Sources you can sense, but don't seem to harm you:Dirty electricity (DE) more than RF, but it does harm me the same as RF radiation. However, this is easier to mitigate with a Stetzer filter that brings significant relief. B1c. Sources you can use without sensing or being harmed:Landline phones, all electric devices that use simple electricity and are not "electronics". These include things like mixers, toasters made before "energy efficiency". B1d. Sources that seem to provide benefit (i.e., electrotherapy):Stetzer filters for DE, unplugging devices. An area of investigation is "How poor underground electric power grid lines can affect sensitivity to radio frequency radiation". I was exposed to improperly grounded and under-sized power lines and bad transformers. This increased symptoms to RF. After the power lines and transformers were replaced and grounded, my RF symptoms were dramatically reduced. Not gone, but 80% better!!! LiFE CHANGING!! Bad power lines produce massive RF and/or dirty electricity. B2a. Health conditions you think may contribute to your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless:Insomnia, chronic fatigue, mood disorder, cognitive impairments, brain fog, irritability. B2b. Health conditions you don't necessarily associate with your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless, but might be relevant:ME/CFS, mold exposure, heavy metal levels, viral loads B3. For each subquestion please list up to 5 drugs or therapies or home remedies (if any) B3a. That you recommend, as they helped you tolerate or recover from EMF exposure:Correcting underground (or overhead) utility power lines to be properly sized and properly grounded is IMPERATIVE if this is an issue in your residence. Ensure there are absolutely no voltage in the earth around your home. You cannot depend on the power company to measure this. Hiring contractor specializing in EMF. Use Stetzer filters for DE. Shield wi-fi routers and smart meters. Phone in airplane mode. B3b. That you recommend, but you’re not positive that they help:Hrmonizers. B3c. That helped you but you don’t recommend. (e.g., the benefit did not last long or the side effects were too harmful):Supplements. B3d. Treatments that had no effect:Electro-therapy, ultrasound, electric sauna, anything electrically therapeutic. B3e. Treatments that made your sensitivity worse:65-74 B4. What is your age range?65-74 B5. What year did you become aware of your sensitivity to wireless radiation or electromagnetic fields?2006 B6. What country, state, province, or major city were you living in when you first noticed your sensitivity to wireless or electromagnetic fields?Washington DC, Indiana

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Questions 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, 14, 15, 16 and 18 I submit this as a resident concerned about persistent noise, perceived vibrations, health effects, and possible RF/EMF exposure near my home. My family has lived for years in an all-electric home near Whitewater Hill in the Palm Springs area, beside an aging wind farm, with a freeway below and numerous communications and radio towers nearby. In November 2024, I awoke to a loud, high-pitched, sustained sound apparently coming from outside toward the wind farm. Similar sounds and perceived vibrations have continued almost daily and nightly, changing throughout the day and often becoming particularly disruptive late at night or early in the morning. I am concerned about a nearby 5G tower that appears directed toward my home. Its involvement has not been established by testing. The disturbance has caused prolonged loss of sleep, severe headaches, exhaustion and two early-morning hospital visits. I was evaluated for tinnitus and told it did not explain my experience. My hearing specialist added a white-noise setting to my hearing aids. I have reverse-slope hearing loss. I have spent nearly two years and considerable money investigating and trying to obtain relief: Southern California Edison came three times, including at 10 p.m. My solar company inspected its equipment several times. Tesla replaced both costly home batteries multiple times; a senior representative also inspected the equipment. I shut off electricity to the entire house twice for 24 hours. The sound and vibrations continued unchanged. One shutdown damaged a pool pump, costing $2,300. I painted an entire room, walls and ceiling, with RF shielding paint. I purchased and installed special RF shielding curtains. I replaced all household ducting. I reinsulated the attic. I installed a new attic fan. I kept a log of disturbance dates and times. I installed a metal fence intended as shielding. I tried to measure the sustained sound on my phone, but the display only thickened and did not yield useful measurements. I filed a written FCC complaint. I contacted Palm Springs code officials, who referred me to the county. I paid a San Diego company $3,500 to measure frequencies. It tested only during the day and reportedly found a solar-equipment issue; the nighttime disturbance remains unexplained. I contacted the wind farm operator. After I reported noise around 10 p.m., its representative arrived about an hour later, after the sound had stopped. I wrote to a college seeking help through a research project. I sought a tinnitus evaluation; my hearing aids were adjusted for white noise. I purchased white-noise machines. I purchased four EMF hats, two EMF blankets, an EMF nightgown, noise-canceling earmuffs, and marketed EMF-blocking stickers for household electrical equipment. The shutdowns showed that switching off household electricity did not stop the disturbance, but they do not prove that a 5G tower or any other external installation caused it. My purchases do not prove that shielding products are effective. My property formerly had substantial bee activity and was once a bee farm, yet I have observed no bees over the past year. I cannot identify the reason; habitat, weather, pesticides, disease and other factors may matter. I ask HHS to support independent, multi-day and overnight investigation of complaints like mine; coordinated measurements of RF/EMF, audible and low-frequency sound, vibration and electrical interference; public access to relevant tower operating and compliance information; evaluation of cumulative conditions near homes, towers, wind farms and freeways; and better coordination among health agencies, the FCC, utilities and local authorities. Research should examine sleep disruption, headaches and possible environmental effects, including pollinators, without presuming causation. After repeated service calls, private testing, home alterations, government complaints and medical consultations, I still have no explanation. Residents need a practical route to independent testing at the times disturbances actually occur. Please consider this experience when setting research and public-health priorities.

Reports noise and health symptoms after smart-meter replacement, unsuccessful agency investigations, impr…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My history with this issue began September 2006 when National Grid came to my home and replaced our analog meter without our knowledge or consent with a digital smart meter. I immediately heard something that interfered with my sleeping. I never heard this before. I bought my home in 1999. There was never a problem with hearing a continual noise that never stops. Symptoms followed such as headaches and migraines of which no reoccurring history. I also had nose bleeds, nausea, muscle spasms, fatigue, to name the worst of them. I called the DPU, DPH, DEP, EPA, verizon and national grid hired noise experts electricians, power quality studies in my home with a dranetz. SPL octave band studies for pure tones. Learned in 1990 Barbara Kwetz signed into law pure tone regulations for MA. But to no avail. Our experts were not equipped to provide us with help or had conflict of interest. When the first generation of smart meters were rolled out the costumers of utilities and safe to say most of population were ignorant of what the impact of smart grid technology ie., radio frequency radiation pollution would negatively have on us when exposed. There is no escaping it where this technology is turned. The state did not complete a single test that would identify the problem and mitigate. It was a clown show. They also ignored an affidavit from arlo Guthrie who is a forensic sound engineer who identified pure tones are the source of the grid and telecommunications layer of grid. The agencies never reached out to speak with him. The testing the state planned, for a couple years allowed national grid to test at or property without hiring a disinterested party to watch the wolves in the hen house. National Grid left an SPL meter over night in our home and another outside and both had glitches and produced zero data to complete the testing protocol. Several demand letters later in 2012 in July we finally got our analog meter back. I felt better immediately and the severe symptoms have not come back since removing the digital meter. One thing I predicted would not be mitigated; that being the noise. The pulsed RF signals are causing interference on the uninsulated exposed wires so it is broadcasting 24/7 even during a power outage because of the back up batteries. We are being charged $26.00 a month to have a reader come out to read the meter! This has to be illegal because it is our right to be protected not abused for wanting safety and our health protected.
