Expresses concern about extensive tower and Wi-Fi exposure, describing headaches, brain fog and other pro…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am against the widespread use of excessive Wireless radiation exposure. Everywhere we go there are towers and too much exposure that is unhealthy to our children and to all of us. I personally know individuals who have been exposed be in the schools that used excessive WiFi connections or in all public places. We are not paying attention to the health hazards of brain fog, headaches. Unexplained weakness and pain and many other health problems . Please be concerned . I believe there will be an epidemic of issues associated with prolonged excessive exposure to EMF and RF and wireless exposure

Reports an EHS diagnosis, family and community illness and animal deaths after tower and smart-meter depl…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
MY NEIGHBORS AND ANIMALS ARE DYING I am SICK. My family members have been SICK SINCE more than a hundred UNREGULATED TOWERS WENT LIVE over our community. This has been a challenge for me to get anyone to help in my community. I wanted to share my story in hopes of helping others. My story is one of many in Terrebonne Parish. After multiple (9) 300-foot 5G towers were put over our homes, four 300-foot 5G towers were put over my home and animal sanctuary, and four 300-foot towers were put over my office. At the same time, smart meters were put on my home, along with those of every other Entergy customer. I began getting sick, very sick. It began in my petting area with heart palpitations, headaches, vomiting, ringing in my ears, confusion, bleeding gums, insomnia, nightmares, dizziness, anxiety, ears buzzing 24 hours a day, severe fatigue, muscle weakness, and more. I have now been diagnosed with radiation syndrome / EHS (electromagnetic hypersensitivity syndrome) caused by extreme exposure to radiation. Many residents are experiencing similar symptoms. Countless children are now suffering. Being a very healthy person my whole life, this has been a life-changing situation. I am usually the one helping others; now I need your help. I never thought this could happen until I was forced to face it by becoming sick. I'm not sure where this illness will take me. However, I must do all I can to protect my family and my community. Seven neighbors on my street and friends have died after the towers went live over their homes. Many other residents are also sick. My community is surrounded by towers that have no regulatory testing information, nor does our planning department ask for it, citing the FCC's outdated RF radiation guidelines. I became certified in RF radiation testing. I now test the towers and smart meters. I can confirm that the EMF (electromagnetic frequency) / RF (radio frequency) radiation being emitted is extreme for every single product, tower, and smart device I have tested. It has been a fight to protect my family, my community, and myself, with EVERYONE CITING THE FCC'S OUTDATED RF RADIATION GUIDELINES. I had to learn all I could about this to protect my health and theirs. I've had to turn my home, where I have lived for 28 years, into an EMF-safe house (until I sell it), as well as my barn, which is surrounded by EMF material and protection. My bed is covered with EMF protection as well due to the radiation levels in my home. I now have to wear protective clothing all day. Leaving my safe area means becoming exposed due to the unbridled towers around me. I am a very private person. This is not easy to share, but if I do not ask for help now, many more innocent people will be sick, or they will die like my neighbors, my friends, and my animals. Since the towers went live, six of my horses have died instantly under the towers. All of my little animals have died. My 200-pound tortoises started going blind. I'm not sure where the daily radiation exposure will take me, so I thought now is the best time to ask for your help in making a change. THE FCC MUST REGULATE THE RADIATION, OR THE DEATH & DESTRUCTION WILL NEVER END. Technology is safe only if it is REGULATED.

Reports workplace headaches, brain fog and hand symptoms near a new tower and desk router, with relief on…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
They put a new cell tower up by my office. I’ve noticed I’ve started getting headaches and brain fog more and more. Something I use to never get. I’ve also noticed arthritis in my hands, especially when I use my cell phone. Unfortunately my office does have a WiFi box right under my desk so that does not help matters. Everyday I can’t wait to clock out just so I can go home turn all the lights out and lay down. I know it’s the insane amount of emf I’m exploded to while working because on weekends and when I’m on vacation I do not experience this.

Describes personal and children's symptoms attributed to wireless exposure, restricted travel and costly …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding from the perspective of my own experience as well as 2 of my children. For myself I suffered for almost 4 years before finally making the correlation of my symptoms with cell phone towers and boosters cities have put up. I noticed every time I drove through certain areas of our city I'd get what felt like an electric jolt go through my arms and I'd be left with relentless fatigue. I now have to avoid areas of my city where cell signals are boosted as my body immediately feels the unpleasant jolts. I live in constant paranoia driving around town and especially to other cities knowing I may get these electric jolts going through my arms and then left with horrible fatigue. Doctors do not know what to do with me, I was told by one physician to "just move out to the country" which is easier said than done especially when I'm dealing with 2 special needs kids at home who need services. Both of my special needs kids struggle with EMF's, it's very clear when they have had way too much exposure via at school, malls, city parks w/cell towers etc... My son gets extremely agitated very easily and becomes self-injurious as well as depressed. When my daughter is exposed to everyday EMF exposures her POTS/MCAS and Ehlers-Danlos all collide into a nightmare. She sweats horribly, she is overly stimulated and can't get her words out her energy goes way down to the point she can't stand, she has to sit and her dizzy spells leave her crying on the floor. She too also gets really depressed when EMF's are too high like her brother. We have had to spend so much money trying different devices and clothing that claims to repel EMF's but when it's a constant bombardment life is never enjoyable, we are just trying to survive each day. I am fearful for 6G being rolled out as I fear its may land one of my children in the hospital which is riddled with EMF's and what that could do to either of them and their already weakened bodies. We have no help, no support and nothing is regulated which HAS to change and not years from now, TODAY, PLEASE!!!

Reports EHS beginning in elder housing, restricted technology use and continuing symptoms after rural rel…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I came down with electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) in October 2008, at the age of 61. It was sudden: I was moving into HUD elder housing in Cambridge, MA, between Harvard and MIT, into an apartment on the ninth floor. At the time, I knew nothing about EHS. But I have since learned that high floors, including the ninth, are generally more exposed to cell tower and urban repeater antenna wireless radiation than are lower floors. I have also learned that the tipping point, from not having EHS to having EHS, is often sudden, as it was in my case. I was sitting at the large window of my new apartment, looking at the view, and after about 20 minute I noticed that I felt like I had been on my cell phone for over an hour. So I moved away from the window. I didn't think much of it, until I tried to use my cell phone, and it felt like one side of my head went higher and the other half went lower, like my head had become a split-level. And it felt like my brain was in the grip of an iron fist, and I could barely think or see straight. I waited for some hours and tried my cell phone again, with the same result. Then I waited a few days and tried again: same result. I soon became sensitive to computers as well. Now, 18 years later, I can use a fully wired (no wi-fi) computer, for two to three hours per week, but still cannot use a cell phone. I am also sensitive to smart meters. I have lived in rural Arizona since 2012. This has helped, but cell towers, smart meters, etc. have been closing in at an accelerating pace, even here, and at ever-higher frequencies (5G plus) And so new symptoms have been appearing, such as "surges" that mimic going in and out of overstimulated parasympathetic nervous system. I have discussed this with an MD, who confirms that this is what it sounds like. I feel affected by cell tower radiation a good deal of the time, with symptoms ranging from skin and eye irritation, burning, and even redness of skin and eyes, to "brain fog", dizziness, and a feeling like a spike is going up my spine. I became ill with EHS at a later age than most. I know people whose productive lives were brought to a halt by this illness when they were in their 30s and 40s, mid-career. Other EHS-afflicted acquaintances have committed suicide. I have letters from my doctor in Cambridge, Christina C. Wee, MD, at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, in my support reporting my self-reported symptoms, and from doctors in Arizona. One of these MDs, Kristi Mattson, has confirmed my EHS disability at a functional level. But there is no way for a doctor to officially diagnose this illness or even test for it at an official level, because there has been virtually no funding of any serious research that takes into account that different people are sensitive to different wavelengths, and examination rooms must be fully shielded and devoid of wavelengths that can confuse the issue. (For example, I am much more sensitive to kilohertz than to FM radio megahertz.) Thus, establishments of all kinds have preferred to call this illness "idiopathic", a dog-whistle word for "all in the head". They used to say this about other illnesses, such as epilepsy, lupus, etc. I hope this comment period signals a change in attitude, and serious consideration of this emerging illness. Thank you very much.

Reports family illness, a personal Havana-syndrome diagnosis and alleged nanotechnology and directed-ener…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
CORRECTION FOR SUBMISSION:mvg-z4t9-2e7l I am writing to your office as a consumer, patient, and caregiver to submit my personal testimony and request a formal review regarding the health impacts of high-power electromagnetic and radiation exposure. Throughout my time as a caregiver, I have documented a pattern of severe health crises within my family that intersect with environmental and technological factors: • Neurological Impact: I served as the primary caregiver for my mother, whose diagnosis of Alzheimer’s-Dementia was later identified as localized damage to the hippocampus. • Circulatory and Tissue Breakdown: At age 72, my father developed advanced gangrene in his heel, which I attribute to targeted microwave radiation exposure. My stepfather experienced a similar pathology, undergoing progressive amputations of his toe, foot, and leg before requiring dialysis. • Current Personal Health Risks: I am currently undergoing intensive care to prevent tissue breakdown and potential amputation of my right heel. To investigate these persistent symptoms, I have sought independent technical and medical evaluations over the last several decades: • Bioethical Testimony (2011): I previously presented testimony before the President's Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues in Washington, D.C., regarding unauthorized biological and technological interventions. • Investigative Body Scans (2014 & 2023): Independent scans reported anomalous data sources and semiconductors embedded across multiple biological systems, including my muscles, major bone groups, brain, and kidneys. • Clinical Diagnosis (2023): I was diagnosed with Havana Syndrome (Anomalous Health Incident), presenting with a chronic traumatic brain injury (TBI), vestibular dysfunction, hearing loss, and progressive vision problems. There has been joint diagnosis and nerve damage in my leg and feet, all contributed to the location of the nanotechnology. As a matter of public health safety and consumer protection, I wish to bring urgent attention to the regulatory standards governing wireless infrastructure, particularly in rural America: • High-Wattage Emissions: Many municipal cell towers utilize antennas operating at 300 Watts per antenna, which vastly exceeds the wattage necessary for standard telecommunications. • Vulnerable Populations: In rural communities such as my hometown in Tennessee, a high density of towers and antennas exposes residents to prolonged microwave radiation. There is an urgent need to investigate whether this exposure is driving misdiagnosed neurological damage, nerve injuries, and traumatic brain injuries in children ages 4 to 18. Performance at school might be labeled as behavioral or disinterest on the part of the child when a medical reason is the cause. Conclusion and Request for Action The Department of Health and Human Services has a vital duty to protect citizens from unauthorized environmental and biological hazards. Historical precedents, such as the bioethical findings regarding past unauthorized testing in Guatemala, underscore the necessity of rigorous, independent oversight when technology impacts human biology. It is important that all participants of federal funding be required to sign on the Common Rule and that IRBs are mandated without any exception. I urge you to please investigate the severe abuse to American civilians who are being attacked remotely on U.S. soil by directed energy weapons causing Anomalous Health Incidents and other serious and painful damage. I welcome the opportunity to share my detailed medical documentation, independent scans, and personal experiences with your office or at a Congressional hearing to advocate health safety, consumer ethics, human and Constitutional rights.

Calls for research on short- and long-term exposure from wireless towers and surveillance systems in scho…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am a concerned citizen who believes common sense should dictate research on every new installment of wifi towers,surveillance systems in schools,working environments and shopping establishment s.Its getting over utilized and we don't know how much electromagnetic exposure will effect us short term much less long term.Its COMMON SENSE to study the exposure. Stop putting profits before people. Thank-you.
