Reports cognitive and physical symptoms attributed to phones and Wi-Fi, inability to work, shielding cost…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
After buying my first smartphone, I noticed that every time I used it, I would experience brain fog for several hours. I began to suspect that wireless radiation was harmful, and I connected this with the overwhelming physical and mental exhaustion I experienced whenever I went into cities, and the memory loss I had been experiencing since I started working in a new place next to a Wi Fi router. It was even worse during group meetings. I continued to be exposed for some time because I did not know what to do. During this period, my mental abilities deteriorated further. I had problems with concentration and memory, as well as brain fog. My fatigue, digestive problems and muscle pain got worse. Today, I have learned how to protect myself from radiation. I have shielded my apartment because of my neighbours’ Wi Fi, and I hardly ever go out anymore because I know I will feel unwell for several days afterwards. I can no longer work. I no longer visit my friends either. Some do not take my request to turn off their devices into account. Others tell me they have turned everything off, but then I start to feel unwell. So I dare to be impolite: I take out my measuring device, only to discover that the TV, the remote control or some other device is emitting radiation continuously without their knowledge. Even talking to someone in my small hamlet has become a danger to me, because nobody goes out anymore without their highly connected smartphone. Then, some time ago, a 5G antenna was installed, which also means I can no longer go for walks in nature. I cannot consider moving, because even if, by some miracle, I managed to find somewhere with low levels of radiation, an antenna could be installed at any time. And shielding an apartment takes a great deal of money and energy. I try not to think about the future and to find enjoyment even in my isolated and confined daily life.

Recounts cancer cases the commenter associates with towers and electrical equipment, criticizes cancer tr…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Towers have a debilitative effect on humans and in the end cause cancer and people die. A friend of ours was asked to put a tower on his property. He was a wealthy trust fund person, fit, healthy with trails throughout his land for mountain biking, hiking, cross country, snow mobiles, etc. He was youngish — mid life 40s and died of cancer. Exactly corresponds to the placing of the tower and a fairly long decline combined with killer therapies that hospitals call "protocols." If people only knew that chemo only works less than 3% of the time; puts the cancer and the entire immune system in a dormant state only to come back with vengeance after the first "therapy" is done, and the need to go back for another $100K of protocols, and another, until death and bankruptcy, but that's not the story of the towers. A girlfriend was renting an apartment and the utility box was on the outside of the building right above her bedroom. She died and left her 13 year old daughter behind. She knew but couldn't find another place to live that she could afford. Another killed by logistics and hospital "therapies." Those are just two stories of many. Group of architects in an interesting building but also had a utility tower next to them that had God only knows what attached to it, multiple cancers in that office. One of the partners investigated and used EMF and scan readers I don't recall the numbers but they were all too high. More stories . . . We all use wifi it's not good for us either. Keeping things wired is a better option. It would be nice for people to know. Long time use causes brain fog. Also to know the purpose of these hugely strong towers, there was nothing wrong with 3G it worked it wasn't as strong. Why do they need more power what is the purpose. People say it's AI / SI so OK, at what cost to our health? Live in a rural area was very disappointed when they stuck a tower on the top of one of our beautiful mountains. Would love to live in a place again without a cell signal. I hope you can do something about the health risks of this technology.

Reports headaches and sleep changes in a family living near small cells, questions older limits, and requ…

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 a parent. Wireless radiation acceptable limits have not been updated since the 90s. This is unacceptable give the rapidly changing landscape of wireless technology. Living and working within 300-500 feet of small cell towers has impacted me and my children with noticeable changes in headache frequency and sleep quality. This is not coincidental, and studies MUST be done. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. I urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.

Reports severe sensitivity and symptoms around wireless sources that restrict daily activities, and oppos…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am very sensitive to EMF, RF and wireless towers. People like myself are constantly dealing with a severe intolerance and face significant disruption to our daily lives. I am unable to hold a cell phone for more than a few minutes, cannot drive a modern car packed with complex computer telemetry, or standing near an operating microwave. These this trigger immediate distressing symptoms such as physical distress, including intense headaches, extreme fatigue, skin tingling or burning, dizziness, and cognitive fog. A cell tower was erected around a half mile from my house in 2016 and I have had to change where I sleep and my work space do to the distressing symptoms it has caused. Please do not allow these cell towers on school properties or near housing developments. Other countries don't allow it. When will the US start taking care of their citizens and not big business?

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 a parent, caregiver and concerned member of the public. In looking around my community there seems to be a significant increase in brain lesions,cancers in the young, qas well as the elderly. I am concerned that exposure to radio frequency waves/radiation in devices and cell towers are to blame. I would like to see proper studies done as to the effects done separate from the entities who have a profit/money interests. We have children and care for a person who depends on us to make health and safety decisions. Please demand that research be done as to the safety of short and long term exposure Thank you kindly Thomas and Angela Halliday

Reports buzzing and scalp sensations near antennas, melanoma at a phone-contact location, and sleep probl…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
For years RF did not bother me, In the last 5 years symptoms have started to appear. A loud buzzing sound when exposed to radio frequency, sometimes depending on the antenna, the round ones are the worst I get and itching and crawling sensation on my scalp like the skin is rippling. Leaving the vacinity of the antenna it subsides within a few minutes. If it wasnt accross from the cemetary where my family is buried I would avoid it totally. I have self limited my exposure as much as possible. As a part of limiting exposure, I have my work phone away from me by several feet, but when I have to many things to carry, I sometimes tuck it under my arm to carry in the house. Very stupid, but I did. Within a year I developed a cancerous melanoma about the size of pencil eraser exactly where the antenna sat on the phone. A place that never receives sun or natural things that might cause it to be in that location. I guess I thought this was safe because it was only for about a minute once or twice per day. We have turned off the WIFI in our home because of sleep issues, and any devices are turned off and in other rooms. Antenna should not be so close to people that they cannot have use and enjoyment of their outside space or be forced to sheild their living areas to be able to survive.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Radiofrequency radiation and emf exposure is claiming lives to be unhealthy and dysregulating bodies. Please stop the process of harming us. 6g MUST NOT be used, however it is being pulsed on us today and God forbid and have mercy on those that are using humans as science experiments as they will answer to almighty God who created all of us in His image.

Reports family anxiety and cardiac concerns attributed to wireless devices, questions exposure limits, an…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
EMF exposure is very concerning because the health effects are not being considered. My daughters have been dealing with anxiety which we believe is linked to the amount of wireless they are exposed to at school. My father carried his cell phone in his shirt chest pocket and developed arrythmias causing him to need a pacemaker placed. There are many documented health risks from wireless exposure. I believe Germany and now France have been taking these issues more seriously. In France they banned wireless from schools. Our safety limits are too high since documented health effects occur at much lower levels. Children especially are in a mass experiment... the increase in childhood cancers, miscarrages, tyrbo cancers, colon cancer in young adults (where do young kids/adults carry cellphone? In pocket) need to be considered. Something like 50% of teens or more facing anxiety (my daughters have very high anxiety and I believe there is a connection) Clearly need to consider not placing towers in neighboorhoods with family homes or apartments or near schools, parks and playgrounds.
