A former planning-board member alleges coercion and corruption in tower approvals, raises calcium-channel…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I was on the Planning and Zoning board for a small New Mexico Village who had to contend with the wireless tower providers replacing the tower. The entire system was rigged. We had to rubber stamp everything or the threat of being sued by these massive companies would have destroyed us. We were given no meaningful choices. I even discovered later that they bribed the Chair of the Committee- oh here's $$ for Village projects that will make you look like a big man but naturally we won't discuss this until after the tower is in- he's now the mayor of course. They forced us to hire a "Village Representative" to go between the Village and the Tower, but that guy was a complete wolf in sheep's clothing and of course the wireless company paid for that. The corruption upon corruption upon corruption was sickening and we could't stop it. They hired attractive soft-spoken women to front the whole thing- weak women who just wanted their paycheck and made it seem like they all cared so much. At the public comment session before "approval"- they admitted within the decade they could put short burst wireless on your land on every lamppost- near your house- ubiquitous. They Do Not Care about health. The science of disruption of calcium channels- the confusion created by the effect on human electrical systems is 100% not okay. This cartel must be taken DOWN and human health put #1. Anything they offered could simply and perfectly be executed via glass fiber. It's not lack of knowledge, it's that the cartel wants it this way, and government has allowed this for decades now. Please stop them.

The commenter reports family sleep disruption after neighborhood 5G tower deployment and improved sleep i…

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 concerned member of the public. I noticed very erratic sleep patterns in me and some of my family members since we had more 5G towers started popping up in our neighborhood. Sometimes I don't sleep all night. Often sleep comes short and disrupts my work, family life and health. When we are in an area without cell towers at all and no mobile connection my sleep went back to normal. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence. 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.

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 a concerned member of the public. I have witnessed the effects of harmful radiation in my community. I have a dear friend who lived near 2 cell towers. One was within 1/4 mile of her home. She developed an aggressive cancer and was dead within months. Next her husband suffered the same fate. Neither had received the Covid jab. I believe there was a Supreme Court ruling within the last 6 years about the dangers of these things. It was made without fanfare, but you might want to look into it. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence. 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.

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 grandparent and concerned member of the public When I am exposed to wireless radiation from wireless towers and high power lines even for brief periods of time, I experience sever headaches and an overwhelming feeling of pressure on my body. This effect has increased over time as more and more. 5G towers have been built and activated in and around areas where I have lived. Relocation to areas away from towers and high power lines has made a huge difference in the quality of my life. I believe HHS should address this issue on behalf of all of us who have and will continue to have physical pain and health issues due to the continuous exposure to the wireless radiation that needs to be mitigated. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence. 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.

The commenter reports EHS, neurological and heart symptoms after local 5G testing, perceived changes in p…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I live in Denmark. I developed electro-hypersensitivity (EHS) in 2020, when new frequencies were introduced in the country. The municipality where I lived served as a test site for 5G. I experienced headaches, tremors throughout my body, and a sensation of heat on my skin. My eyes would hurt whenever I looked toward a mast, and I felt these adverse effects whenever I drew near one. At the same time, I observed that nature was also reacting to these new frequencies; leaves near the masts and wireless equipment took on autumn colors—turning red, yellow, and brown—in the middle of summer. Simultaneously, the insects disappeared from my garden; the air became completely empty. My symptoms reached a critical point one night when I developed heart problems. I received no help, as I was not believed when I spoke about Wi-Fi and masts. I was forced to move away from that municipality and had to purchase clothing and hats to protect myself. I am now disabled, yet I cannot access any assistance regarding employment or other support, as this disability is not officially recognized in this country. Doctors acknowledge my condition but dare not speak out, fearing repercussions. Since then, I have met many others who share my experience— people living highly isolated lives, unable to obtain any help. A young, exceptionally talented musician who developed this disability died by suicide a few years ago; he could find no support, and his family never acknowledged his condition. He ended his life while staying at a nursing home for the elderly. It is deeply tragic.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I was at a loading dock. behind a store when my head started to feel uncomfortable and this developed into a headache. I noticed the worker who loaded for us was very stressed out. I began to wonder what was happening. I looked around and saw a microwave tower about forty feet away. As soon as I left the area I began to feel better. My headache left in about an hour. Also, after our Smart Meters were installed several years ago, my husband and I have had some brain fog. Isn't there a better way to communicate without harming people with radiation? Thank you for your time reading this.

wireless waves are accumulating and dangerous. The phone hurts my hands after awhile. My daughter gets headaches near towers. My ears ring near towers. We have to change technology or turn back to safe zones.

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. You likely know about the Clinton administration's 1992 Telecommunication Act. Prior to it being passed, telecommunication companies were prohibited from building cell towers within close proximity of schools, hospitals, medical clinics, day care and senior care centers. Why? Because strong Wi Fi (RF radiation) is not healthy. It is radiation. Human bodies perceive it as a foreign body and our immune system responds. Eventually our immune system fatigues and our bodies inflammatory response leads to disfunctions like diabetes and cancers. The passing of the 1992 Telecommunication Act rescinded that protection. How is it we knew to put protections in place, for our most vulnerable populations, and then pretended we did not know? Politics, greed and ignorance. You see the ill effects of strong Wi Fi (RF radiation) in your friends, families and neighbors every day. RF radiation stresses the nervous system, the immune system and eventually erodes good health. The statistics of alarming numbers of what were rare cancers are indisputable. There are volumes of reliable independent research on the damaging effects of RF radiation. If we do not have our good health nothing else matters. You were put in the position to act on behalf of yourself, your family, friends and country in this serious matter. I pray that you have the clarity, courage and wisdom to put reasonable safeguards in place. Thank you for taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence. 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.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My life is no longer the same. I suffer from a serious thyroid condition and symptoms that prevent me from leading a normal life. As soon as I pick up the phone, I start to experience pain in my bones and breasts. I developed a large lump in my breast five years ago, and that is exactly where it hurts when I pick up the phone. I suffer from dizziness and difficulty keeping my balance, a cold, burning sensation in my head and fatigue. I often experience arrhythmias and paroxysmal tachycardia. Lately, I’ve been feeling worse because I live not far from a 5G mast. How can one protect oneself when Wi-Fi is everywhere? How can one work in this state? You must acknowledge that you are destroying the lives of adults and children. But perhaps that is exactly what you want.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Cell phones burn my hands if I hold onto them. Cell towers activate a hystemine reaction in nerves that were damaged from herpes virus. Extremely [ainful feels like a wasp bite, to a 3 degree burn. Sometimes lightening bolts that go from top of my sho0ulder to stomach to bottom of my feet. It impacts my daily life because I cant go to the movie theater or to certain grocery stores. People think I am crazy but when I am traveling my body gets hives before we go around the bend and see a gigantic cell tower in the distance.
