Reports sensitivity to Wi-Fi, phones, solar equipment, electrical fields and LED lighting, with neurologi…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
It took a while for me to realize I was sensitive to WiFi and cell towers. I was installing an AT&T router in my home and immediately became dizzy and nauseous. We called and turned off the “5G” and that actually made it worse. I ended up in the ER the next day with double vision and blurred vision. Every time my husband walks in the front door with his iphone - if the WiFi is turned on I can immediately feel it from 10 ft away. He’ll look and sure enough, his WiFi is turned on. Once he turns it off, I get immediate relief. My son bought the iphone 14 and we were driving and I started to feel dizzy and nauseous. I told him I thought his new phone was making me sick. Then, a few moments later, I felt better and thought maybe I was just hungry. I told him I was feeling better and he asked when I began feeling better. I told him right as we passed the lighthouse. He said, “oh, I guess I need to take my phone back as that’s exactly the moment I turned it off to see if you would notice the difference.” In our home, we have no WiFi. We can’t. We plug all devices directly into a modem. And all phones have WiFi turned off. I have to turn off all smart TVs at night. I have to turn off all smart tech in new cars. We have iphone 11’s for when our iPhone 8’s stop working, but after that, I guess we’ll all have to start using flip phones again as the newest phones make me so sick. We were living in Waikiki for a year and I began having heart flutters and severe headaches at night due to all the cell towers. We then moved to a house where the landlord installed Solar. The second they installed the firmware I felt it. And when the solar, with all the inverter boxes, was turned on, it was immediately debilitating for me. My heart started racing, ears started ringing, I got dizzy and nauseous, had a severe headache and every joint in my body began aching. I also got the worst insomnia. I could not sleep at all! I actually could feel my body throbbing. It was the worst thing I’ve ever felt. A few days in and I thought I might die. And then, the power went out in the neighborhood and I had instant relief. And that night, with no solar or power, I slept so well. The moment it came back on the next day, I was once again debilitated. We had to move. It’s getting harder and harder to find places to live. I can now feel solar from across the road. I’ve also become sensitive to dirty electricity, LEDs, and the magnetic fields of devices. I can’t have a fan on high or near me now as I feel it. I can walk into a room and immediately tell you if an outlet is ungrounded. I don’t need a meter - I AM the meter! I once felt like I was getting shocked in the shower. We called an electrician out and he laughed at me thinking I was crazy, till he confirmed there was actually voltage on the pipe. He said, “there is some voltage, but so small no human could feel it”. I told him I must be superhuman then as I felt it. I’ve never been wrong as people continue to “test” me. I found a church my family and I loved and one Sunday the moment the lights when on I felt an instant headache, severe agitation in my body, nausea and my heart started racing. I ended up in the ER as my heart wouldn’t stop racing. When I asked the church if they had by chance installed new lights, they told me they had and the lights were high flickering LEDs. The church wouldn’t change them, so we can no longer attend that church. I sometimes feel sick from the LED street lights. In malls and hotels where they’ve installed cell towers or panels on their roofs, or on an elevator or wall, I cannot go near it. My family likes to hike and I have to stop on the mountain if I get too close as I begin to feel the pressure in my head. They keep increasing the number of cell towers, yet our phone service continues to get worse. So clearly, more is not better. Even electric cars I can’t ride in as I get so sick. We had to return a rental car when the car had active WiFi in it. What a terrible idea to put that kind of constant signal in a car. I have to drive in an office older car with no smart technology. A smart business person would begin catering to the ever growing community of EMF sensitive people. I know people who can’t even use a cell phone. Many have moved into homes far from any city. Some live in their old cars or in a tent. That’s how bad it can feel. There should never be any cell tower near a home, school or business. We need less smart devices and more ways to ground ourselves and not disrupt our body’s natural rhythms. The people commenting here - we are the canaries and we are warning everyone that damage is being done to your body when you wear a smart watch or put a phone to your ear or wear WiFi ear plugs.

Objects to widespread electromagnetic exposure and LED lighting, associates LEDs with migraines and seizu…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
We are being exposed too much to all of these EMFs, RFs, and even LED lights!! I wish you would go back to letting companies make regualr light bulbs. These LEDs are horrible and NOT good for us! They cause some people migraines and seizures and they cannot be good for our eyes. And car headlights SHOULD NOT be LEDs!! They are blinding! Technology has gone way too far and is killing us. I hope you will consider fighting to put an end to some of this.

Reports electromagnetic hypersensitivity, migraines and restricted travel associated with towers, smart m…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have electromagnetic hypersensitivity. Being exposed to cell towers and smart meters causes an electrical current/buzzing feeling running through my body. LED lights also cause me health issues. I can't drive at night at all and only when absolutely necessary during the day because of LED street lights and headlights. They give me migraines and cause extreme pain in my eyes. I have to wear sunglasses and keep my eyes closed if I am in a car as a passenger at night which is only when absolutely necessary. I have had 4 LED street lights in close proximity to my home for 2 years now since  the electric company came and changed the HPS lights to LED.  Because of the electromagnetic hypersensitivity, when the LED streetlights are on I feel an electrical current/buzzing running through my body while INSIDE my home.  I suffer from debilitating migraine headaches brought on by these LED lights even  when I am inside my home.  I am also confined to my home after dark because of them and even before as they come on at  least an hour before it is dark. I can't even look out my window when they are on because if I happen  to look the wrong way and catch a glimpse of them, I will get a migraine.  LED lights have detrimental effects on humans, insects and all wildlife. It is  no different than poisoning all of the citizens and wildlife. Why would ANY city allow this  to happen let alone do this to their citizens?

The commenter alleges targeted radiation from appliances, towers, lights and vehicles, describes physical…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Based upon what I am experiencing, I have been placed on an illegal gov threat list. One of many sources of torture I experience is different forms of radiation. It comes through the tv, electrical outlets, stove and fridge creating nausea, chest congestion, headaches, diarrhea, dizziness, and unsteadiness when walking. Yet another type I believe is microwave radiation that comes from cell towers which causes extreme burning sensations all over my head mostly and sometimes over my entire upper body leaving welts and burning pain that remains for hours or days. Another source is from outside lights such as the street lights and lights on nearby buildings both inside and outside whose beams stream onto the roof and inside the windows of my condo causing the same type of issues created from electrical outlets. My body feels over heated from the inside and I lose my appetite from this type of radiation along with the electrical sockets. Then there is the radiation that causes the inside of my 2025 CRV Honda hybrid car to overheat making the seats unbearably hot as well as the inside temperature. This situation stems from cars beaming their headlights toward my car for extended periods of time. These are the major sources of radiation but I have also received radiated food once on an international flight that caused my entire insides to feel unbearably over heated. I can send pictures of some of these issues and evidence of others. I will get help to send those. Thank you for looking into this serious threat to innocent mislabeled American citizens.

Requests continued availability of low-technology products and accessibility options, describing EHS-rela…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am a Health Practitioner for over 20 years as a Massage Therapist. Preserve old technology, oldschool, low technology by making it available for the: People With Special Needs including Electric Sensitivity, People With Disabilities, and People Who Are Medically Challenged. Make a law for all high technology companies saying do not make old, low technology obsolete. Have analog and basic technology readily available as an option so there is no need for special accommodations. Computer screens have led backlights & I believe should be made w/TFT-LCD & not led so it doesn't burn eyes. I believe TFT-LCD doesn’t flicker or irritate eyes. We have to also put screen UV Protectors on our monitor screens so it prevents us from getting bloodshot red eyes, bursting bloodvessels in the eyes, because without it, it ruins and destroys the delicate bloodvessels in our eyes. This is how to keep eye clear. The computer screens need to already come with these UV screen protectors. Since we have EHS-Electric Sensitivity, we have been using a computer screen monitor that is over 20 yrs. old just to protect our health. We have to get a hold of old screen monitors which is very hard to do but we go to this extent. We know others who also use old computer screens just to protect their health. The computer industry should always give us a basic model option with low technology. We should have no wifi options & low power options. Right now we have a Shuttle Barebones low power computer & keyboard extension & old rollball mouse. I have to have an oldschool roll ball mouse that is used that lasts forever, can be cleaned for maintenance. THey need to bring back oldschool rollball mouse because they do not have lasers in them burning our delicate hands, they also hold up for years & they are not made anymore, they need to enforce them being made, all companies who make high tech things should be enforced to include LOW tech items for sensitive, disabled & safety purposes. Also toys shouldn't have lasers like Mario Legos, which once we got it and son's eyes were red after using it & we got rid of it & then his eyes cleared up right away. The new LED car spotlights that blind people should be banned, since they were invented I cannot drive at night time & a lot of others cannot drive at night time anymore without being blinded by the new LED car spotlights. Bring back warm glow incandescent low beam car lights or something close to it, yellow warm lights that don't burn our retinas & blind us & distract drivers. Television Companies need to come up with televisions that don't have led lights, Bluetooth, or wifi. I still have to use an over 20 yr. old television to avoid new tvs that hurt the eyes, and the levels of radiation are causing inflammation, burning and numbness symptoms. Bring back old speakers w/the magnets, I have to use my old speakers not just because they are good, but because they are the only ones that don't have bluetooth & wifi. They are not wireless. Bring back old speaker options. Bring back cameras with no wifi options, & video cameras, ones with no touch screens, just buttons. Bring back appliances with dials only, no digital clocks or digital heating, ones that use only coils, basic stove, ovens. There are only a few left, or none. Enforce that every auto company provide a basic low tech. option. The new fancy vehicles force wifi since it is integrated in the system. I can not drive a car because the motor is too close to the driver and that causes high EMF levels that cause pain and dysfunction. I can only drive an SUV where the motor is far away from the driver. SUV companies like KIA should be enforced to always have an option to get a basic vehicle, Basic SUV. I cannot have seats that cook us alive. We cannot have interior car lights that cook & fry our eyeballs. I have to have a low tech, basic vehicle with no satellite radio hub, no wifi and no bluetooth hub. Keep all Basic vehicles "BASIC" with no integrated wifi/Bluetooth/satellite hub. The car company told me that only the basic model allows us to remove the wifi/Bluetooth/satellite hub. That fancy screen hub needed to be removed from our vehicle. Allow & reinforce basic features for Electric Sensitive, Disabled, and Medically Challenged people. If there is a bank teller or a shopping checkout that forces us to use a sensor, handprint or force us to touch the electric screen so we can become electricuted for just a brief moment, I go to the extent to avoid that for health purposes. Our bodies are electric & we are forced to become one with an electric machine that zaps us. How many times per day does it zap us? Just say no. I ask for the stylus, it should be always available, I bring my stylus with me. There should always be a button option for the sensitive, disabled, and medically challenged, and this needs to be enforced as a law. These things need to be done to stay and become healthy.

Attributes ear pain and hair loss to meters, Wi-Fi and electronics, describes mitigation and financial ba…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hello, Before I start, I want to say that I had my whole eardrum replaced in 87 as a doc flushed my ear out so hard, the whole side of my neck was killing me and had black stuff coming from ear and needed a new ear drum. Living on a farm in Gorham Maine yrs. ago, I was in our garden and someone was doing something on the 1 bedroom house I was renting and didn't think much of it till every 2 mins. I was getting stabbing sharp pain in my eardrum and didn't know why. My cat was looking around at nothing going on. This went on for a while till I found out the landlord allowed a smart meter on house. When I learned about Analog, I had it removed and problem was solved. Now I live in a town called Westbrook Maine, the week I moved in, I had meter changed to Digital, they claim they can't get parts for Analog which is another lie. They can put Satellite's in space but no parts for meters. The Public is beyond sick of being lied too. I have a neighbor downstairs who keeps Wifi on 24/7 and a neighbor to the left of me doing the same. I have no Wifi in my Apt and everything is hard wired, yet I have been losing my hair since moving in. I can feel a sensation on my head, gentle pull on that area and hair comes out. I can feel it coming from light sockets on my skin and I went from 1 old Lenovo laptop which was ok but it didn't support windows 11 so I had to get a Lenovo Yoga and I feel the strength of EMF coming from screen. My neighbor is also losing hair but she doesn't want to hear it. I am only 66 yrs. old and this has been going on for 3 yrs. The biggest problem I find with Tech is they create something without being MADE TO make sure it is safe 1st. An example is Halogen car lights or even other car lights, or LED lights, did anyone EVER consult with eye experts to see if any of these lights were safe to public? My answer is no. They are allowed to create anything without knowing safety 1st. I worked for 2 manufacturing Incandescent light bulbs, both factories moved to Mexico in the 80's and 90's. From what I understand, the court ordered FCC or someone to test safety of EMF and they gave the finger to the courts and did nothing. I took Cosmetology at my Trade school so I know when the skin is effected, it's bound to effect the hair Follicles. I don't know what more I can do. Every time we save to move more into the Country, the muffler needs work at $1000 a wack. I am totally awake as to what has been going on my whole life as I was going to be 4 yrs. old the day after JFK was shot and I thought as a self centered child, I thought my mom couldn't afford a birthday gift for me as we were 4 kids and dad gone, but when I went to penny candy store, owner was sad too so I knew from a young age things weren't right. Now they talk about satellites beaming down, what does that do to humanity and nature? Can anyone ever tell the truth for once? It also does no good to Regenerate soil while our skies are sprayed daily and I had my rain water tested 15 yrs. ago. When does the insanity stop, I don't know but I pray daily. Until Humanity is more important than profits, it will continue. We need a reawakening, far to many asleep and God will not bless America if we don't get involved and change our ways. I want to also express my Gratitude for all the hard work this Administration is doing, American and the world is watching, God speed. I know I went a little off subject, so sorry, Thank you listening to my testimony. Blessing to all, Lisa

An optician describes LED headlight glare impairing nighttime driving, reports similar concerns from othe…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am an optician and I talk with many people about their vision problems. My concern is the blinding glare caused by headlights on cars and trucks that people experience when driving their cars at night. The radiation from the new LED lights is intense and blue. Many people have told me that they don’t drive at night because of the glare. I myself have a hard time with nighttime driving for the same reason. In the past year I have found that a yellow clip-on for my eyeglasses is indispensable at night, to moderate the blue color and glare of LED headlights. This is unfortunate because the yellow filter makes it harder to see hazards emerging from the side of the road. Additionally, if I have a headache, the bluish lights are even more irritating.

Describes dangerous glare from LED low beams on rural roads affecting the commenter and children, and ask…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I live in rural Montana and lighting that is at 6,000 k led as they come up and down Hills can be extremely blinding to the point where I have to stop my vehicle. I have had Deer Run in front of me and I couldn't even see them because I was so blinded by the oncoming car. I am still not sure how I've missed them. It even affects my young kids who have to put their hands up as the car passes so they can maintain their eyes on the road. When you go into bigger cities with all the lighting is not as nearly as bad as it is in dark rural areas. I hear about people going off the road all the time due to the blinding headlights especially older people I hope this helps you come to a good decision by at least softening low beams. High beam LEDs are still great and wonderful living in rural areas. It's just the low beams and the LEDs are so extremely frustrating. Subarus are probably the worst offenders you can't even tell between their high and low beams. Enter thank you for your

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
LED headlights are TOO BRIGHT & make it more difficult to drive into oncoming traffic as well as blinding you in the rear view mirror at night. The Food and Drug Administration must comply with 21 U.S.C. 360ii to test and evaluate LED headlights for biological safety. The brighter lights also impact migrating bird species at night.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Lives are being impacted in a negative way. It is almost impossible to drive at night due to blinding headlights. LED lights are problematic. I am temporarily unable to see, either blinding me directly in my eyes coming towards me or when the lights appear behind me. Attempting to look away from the lights does not work and causes a dangerous loss of focus on the road. Please research all the impacts to heath, society and safety.
