ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
The governments across countries allow the telecom companies set up more telecom towers everywhere in residential location s, with greedy & illiterate politicians among developing and LDCs not bothered about their adverse health impacts. We researchers must undertake large-scale studies on this area. Unfortunately, the public is unaware of the consequences.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I, Jacqueline Iacovino, would like the Department of Health and Human Services, Staff & Agency to KNOW, "I NEVER HAD ANY HEALTH PROBLEMS" nor did I NEED to go for ANY MEDICAL CARE until TECHNOLOGY started being INSTALLED, I am NOT a SMOKER, I do NOT DRINK ALCOHOL BEVERAGES, was ALWAYS HEALTHY & PHYSICALLY ACTIVE up until again TECHNOLOGY started being installed, such as "CELL PHONE TOWERS, SMART METER'S" etc., EVERYWHERE/ALL AROUND me. These NEGATIVE SYMPTOMS which have HARMED/AFFECTED me, my "OVER ALL HEALTH/WELL BEING, HAPPINESS, FREEDOM" to ENJOY LIFE/DO WHAT I ONCE ENJOYED/COULD DO, started GRADUALLY over TIME, with "HEADACHES, RINGING in my EARS, BURNING SENSATION'S, NAUSEATED, DIZZINESS, MEMORY LOSS, BRAIN FOG, FATIGUE, DIFFICULTY SLEEPING NIGHTLY/DAILY, etc., I FEEL could POSSIBLY/PROBABLY be CAUSED by "EMF EXPOSURE, RADIO FREQUENCIES (RF) RADIATION, WIRELESS RADIATION EXSPOSURE, etc., all which I FEEL are "HARMFUL TECHNOLOGIES" that have caused my/other's too HEALTH ISSUES. Everything that I have stated here HAPPENING to me for MANY YEAR'S that HAS/STILL IS EFFECTING my HUMAN HEALTH, that HAS/STILL IS EFFECTING animals/nature as well, I FEEL "REQUIRES MUCH MORE NEEDED RESEARCH, INVESTIGATION'S, SOLUTION'S" which WILL than HOPEFULLY STOP the HARM being done to "MYSELF, HUMANITY, OTHER'S & the PLANET EARTH" as well.

The commenter reports neurological symptoms around wireless sources following earlier head trauma, descri…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
. & 2. I am responding as: an individual 3a. Type of wireless or RF/EMF sources involved (e.g., mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters…)Wireless phones, cell towers, micro-broadcasters, electric cars, some wifi routers, 3b. Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years):Sometimes stabbing pain in previously injured ( 40 years ago) head trauma when i am in a beam from a tower AKA in a car in traffic/ at a red light, and the symptoms disappear within minutes after the car moves on...Back around 2012 it started and I was treated in Emergency for seizures, and the drug made me really sick and I developed severe IBS.... A second neurologist examined me while under an episode and diagnosed me with a "full body migraine" and prescribed drugs... I have avoided symptoms by dietary and supplement additions, but overexposure ( too ling in certain parts of the city or airplane travel ) time wise , .... it's not linear - seems to be fluid-factors of 1- Strength of signal, 2- Distance from the source 3- Duration of exposure.... one of these three factors primarily may give a different response than another factor, but I have not been able to figure that out. 3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced:The symptoms change each time but consistently from the following. : Dizzy, "zoned out" like a drug sometimes slurred speech or inability to move, sometimes falling over throwing up in the ditch, inability to sleep, depressive emotions, blurry eyesight, physical neural pain in the old injury site, rarely but sometimes actual headaches.. In a hotel I "wake up like a shot" at 3:00-4:00 AM with WIFI router on and cannot sleep after. Usually only one or two symptoms at a time ranging from irritating to disabling, and comes in waves. 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:One hour to 4 days- and yes- see above for the three factors that totally coincide; Strength of signal and duration of exposure lead to severe symptoms. 3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis?see above... no doctor that I have seen believes me , but recently I told an allergist receptionist on the phone that I would need a phone-appointment as I could not come to the City, and the receptionist said" No problem at all , a lot of our clients have that issue, let me set up a phone time"..... 3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects?I am 100% free from symptoms when in areas with no WIFI and, Magnesium supplements, BLUSHIELD devices help against home wifi signals, methylene blue blue in emergencies is magic-and homeopathy for EMF seems to help as well although I am skeptical....but it helps so I keep using it... these are all things that help after overexposure. 3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information:I have been self diagnosing and collecting data and receently collating with AI I can share that data if needed - how do i do that 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:Help me please- B1a. Sources you experience as causing you Adverse Effects:Cell phone and multiple cell phones ( bus, concert , airplane), WIFI router, "Small Cell " radiators on telephone poles, Cell towers B1b. Sources you can sense, but don't seem to harm you:ELF waves I cannot sense and don't seem to harm me that I can see, but the dtat seems to say that there are effects B1c. Sources you can use without sensing or being harmed:Cell phone I use briefly- then turn back on airplane mode- short exposure seems OK. B1d. Sources that seem to provide benefit (i.e., electrotherapy):see above B2a. Health conditions you think may contribute to your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless:see above B2b. Health conditions you don't necessarily associate with your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless, but might be relevant:n/a B3a. That you recommend, as they helped you tolerate or recover from EMF exposure:see above B3b. That you recommend, but you’re not positive that they help:Acupuncture, "brain fire" herbal tea, also bio energetic allergy treatments seemed to make me more resilient, silver -lined blankets and hats seem to reduce some of the effects ( ie in a ferry line up in a beam , the blanket shows a large reduction in the RF , B3e. Treatments that made your sensitivity worse:55-64 B4. What is your age range?55-64 B5. What year did you become aware of your sensitivity to wireless radiation or electromagnetic fields?2012 but symptoms started around 2002 B6. What country, state, province, or major city were you living in when you first noticed your sensitivity to wireless or electromagnetic fields?British Columbia Canada

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
To US HHS and. Robert Kennedy Jr Dear Robert As a fellow Irishman I feel I know you. I first came across you giving a speech in Berlin summer 2000, "this is a bit more like it" I thought at the time. I was in France, organising a 5G demonstration in Lyons with Collectif 1815. My Grandfather is a Hero of Ireland having fought in the Easter Rising, then the Tan war. My Godfather is probably the 3rd most famous terrorist in the world, after Anders Brevik and Osama Bin Ladin. But Brendan Behan is known as a playwrite and novelist, not as an IRA man. But would either of these ancestors have bothered had they known that within a few decades of their courageous acts the entire world would be poisoned by toxic microwaves? Microwaves are toxic, they have always been toxic, they have never not been toxic. Microwaves toxicity is not new. But tell someone today and they will laugh in your face I have carried our surveys recently. Microwave toxicity is a thought that cannot be thought today. The best work on this is Stenek The Microwave Debate (MIT Press) and Paul Brodeur The Zapping of America (from 1977) I see many excellent contributions From Collas Diallis Collectif 1815 From Einar Flydal from Norway From Radiation Research UK From Camilla Rees (USA) To that I have little to add so I will not take your time nor load you with even more copy Just Robert is welcome here anytime I live in a cabin in west Sweden with no electricity and very low microwaves by contemporary standards, no water, cand heating is by a Norwegian wood oven. Many of us live like this, or try to! Such places are hard to find. It is bliss compared to a flat in the city. To me such places are like pig styes. C'mon over Robert, but you do the cooking! I have seen a few videos from Robert guiding people to make more healthy food. One more thing It is really happening And no one will belive it, I know this as I have tried Below sould be a Lancet Publication from Karolinska, Anna Johansson. It shows Cancer rates significant increase over the last 20 years. from the time 3G was introduced to just the time 5 G was being rolled out. Cancer rises significantly moreover the age of presentation reduces significantly. The Aging Population is a thing if the past. Anna's paper shows exactly what you would expect from microwave Carcinogenicity. following the rollout of microwave based technologies, which are not just the phones. It behøves HHS to conduct future studies to look at the effects post 5G rollout and AMS rollout. One night expect a comparatively enormous rise in cancer. From measurmenrs I have personally taken, 5G gives signal strength 100X greater than the signal pre 5G. Thank you Dr Stephen McGill BA(høns)(cantab) PhD (cantab)

The commenter recounts opposing a tower near home, challenges FCC rules and health-related siting restric…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I had the experience of fighting the placement of a cellular tower within 250 feet of my home. It only took me about 10 minutes of research to see that the guidelines that are in place by the FCC from 1996 are extremely outdated and puts the health of the citizens at risk. You are not allowed to challenge the placement for any health reasons based on one study done in 1996. While counties like Russia and China who are not known for human rights have stricter setbacks that we do here in the US. That is appalling. That would be like thinking the Microsoft 96 would work for the technology of 2026 computers. Let alone think of the medical advances that have taken place during the last 20 years. Yet we as citizens have to adhere to this one study from 1996 that states it is safe for a cellular tower to be next to your home. I realize that cellular technology is here to stay. However, we can do it responsibly and protect our citizens at the same time. New Hampshire did a study on potential health concerns with cellular towers, and it clearly shows a link which should at the minimum be enough to change the outdated guidelines from the FCC. The FCC shouldn't even be able to have such a guideline because they do not regulate health. They are a commission of businesspeople who are only looking out for profits. The fact that there are so many hoops that the citizens have to jump through just to keep their home safe is ridiculous. The technology of today is not that of 1996. The number of wireless items that are everywhere should cause our government to reevaluate many things in regard to health and safety. Infertility and autism are on the rise here. Has anyone thought of that potential connection. In countries that have done the research, the guidelines are much stricter due to the correlation of health issues. It not only affects people, but it also affects animals and plants. These are all things that should concern everyone. I

The commenter links a friend's ovarian cancer to nearby towers and requests updated research, protective …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Cellular towers seem to be everywhere now a days. A dear friend of mine had two placed withing 200 feet of her home. She developed ovarian cancer which she battled valiantly until she ultimately succumbed to it. Due to the research done in other countries that seem to show a link to cellular towers and cancer it seems that those towers may have been the cause. She had lived in that home most of her adult life. Within a few years of those towers going up she develops cancer. Our regulations need to protect the people not the industry. We need to have setback guidelines, and the research needs to be updated to ensure that we are providing the best of both worlds. There are ways to allow for the technology and keep people safe at that same time. We shouldn't have to move or put our lives on the lines so a company can make more money. It's about time for the government to do what it is supposed to do. Be for the people, by the peopte. Not for the business despite the people.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
The towers with the small round and square disk on them impact me the most. It feels like someone is hitting the front of my head with a hammer Some tower just increase my agitation level. I just feel annoyed about everything. Any type of charger or electrical signal disrupt my sleep pattern every few hours. I can't have heating pads,electrical blanket phone charger or tablet in the same room. I ue rfd material over my bed to help midgate any interference.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
In this day and age, the People DESERVE to not be inundated by EMF dangers when alternatives exist. Specifically, why use cell towers where cell phone companies battle over coverage area when we have satellite technology?! Why keep the towers on earth buzzing into people endangering them, when people like Elon Musk are pushing forward for this safer option? Why isn’t the nation and officialdom demanding this for this nation and cell phone companies? Additionally, WHY is NOAA using obsolete EMF microwave towers for supposed ‘detecting radar precip and storms’ when other apps like ‘Windy’ use satellites that are detailed far greater then the Doppler towers?! One must ask, what exactly is their purpose as a result? There are over 200 Doppler radars covering the US, emitting this 24/7. The Windy app is out of the Czech Republic, it’s my go-to app for detail and accuracy so WHY? Create limits so this obsolete tech and health risk can be eliminated….as well as dead zones, and hazardous EMF on the People of the US.
