The commenter describes EMF sensitivity after device and router changes, reports dizziness, palpitations …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hello, I started with emf sensitivity when we started adding more devices and our router was updated to one that couldn’t be turned off at night. Now with towers and antennas all around us I suffer with dizziness, blurry eyes, heart palpitations and I don’t sleep more than 3 nights a week, that’s the worst, we are moving to an area that I hope will better. I hope something can be done about it especially for the children since they have their whole life ahead of them. Thank you palpitations and I don’t sleep more than maybe 3 times a week, we are moving to an area that I hope will be better.

A cancer survivor expresses uncertainty about causes, recounts others’ reported symptoms, and asks HHS to…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I support HHS in taking an active role in investigating the effects of EMFs, Radiofrequency and wireless radiation. I have read many people's stories and have friends who report severe affects such as loss of sleep, depression, anxiety, etc. For most of us, it is difficult to definitevely know how we are affected. As a cancer survivor, I will never know what "caused" the cancer to develop. When i read stories of people living near power lives and cell towers who develop cancer, whole communities who develop cancer, I wonder about my own exposure. I hope you will HHS to hire scientists and doctors and researchers who have no vested interest in the outcome to help develop proper guidelines so we all live healthy and long lives. Thank you.

The commenter reports strong EMF sensitivity and requests attention to affected people, reduced installat…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am very sensitive and react strongly to EMF'S and RF's etc. I hope you are aware of how many people are like myself and either become sicker or more reactive to these devices. Please be aware of how your decisions and actions are affecting the very people who are sensitive and don't understand why they are feeling worse. If you are going to continue, please put something in it to harmonize those frequencies or quit putting them in such populated areas.

An 84-year-old commenter describes electrical sensitivity and worsening nerve symptoms as towers increase…

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. At this point there is sufficient evidence that wireless radiation is dangerous to many people, but especially children and the elderly. I am a member of the second class. I am 84 years old and live in a community with an overwhelming number of towers. I have developed more neurological symptoms as even more towers are erected.. On the rare occasions that I can escape from wireless radiation I have experienced a surge of well being and an alleviation of pain. Yes, this is anecdotal although I am seeing a neurologist for my nerve induced pain. There was a time when I scoffed at people saying they were "electrically sensitive". Now I am one of them. 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 concerned member of the public. I live under a cell tower and I am home most of the time. I am exposed to radiation constantly. I get frequent headaches and am getting forgetful. It may be normal aging, but I shouldn't be subjected to this all of the time. Cell towers should have no place in residential neighborhoods. Put them along the interstates, away from homes. My mother-in-law lives directly under the cell tower, and she has dementia. The man across the street has cancer. The cell towers need to go.

The commenter attributes serious personal, community and animal health problems to towers and smart meter…

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. Always, Shari Champagne

A parent reports moving after learning of a possible school cell tower and supports HHS research and prot…

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 affects everyone- our children, our families, anyone you care about. My family and I specifically moved away from our neighborhood as soon as we heard 'they' are thinking about putting a cell tower at the local high school near our home. Who in their right mind thinks putting a cell tower on school property is a good idea when there is a chance it could harm them?! How does this make ANY sense!?! 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.

An older resident reports personal nerve pain and a daughter’s sleep, memory and anxiety problems after a…

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 an individual When the municipal government authorized the installation of a giant telephone tower of 25m in the sidewalk at 6m of my front house´s door, they do not asked for my acceptance and I do not have a legal resource to opposite the action, done supposedly for the necessities and progress of our communities, since the importance of the communications.My person, my family, my neighbors do not count in that wide social and economic perspective. This happened six years ago, after the decease of my wife . Time passed and my daughter (30 y) begin to experiment an increased difficulty to conciliate the sleeping and problems of memory and anxiety without a defined cause. Concerning my person, actually 85 y, my problem is the surge of an increasing pain in brief episodes by the inflammation of my nerved terminations, as if I have needles through my skin, sometimes in a place, sometimes in other, at random. MHe walls of my house were constructed using electro galvanized welded wire mesh between columns, and a type of dried cane weaved, with cement mix by both sides, so I think it functions as a Faraday cage, that attenuates the effects of the electromagnetic emissions from the tower, but do not impede a amount of personal biological damage on our health. It is very difficult to demonstrate those effects since do not exists a medical general inform of each of us before the tower installation, but I have very clear that those symptoms do not exist before the installation and developed after the installation. 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.
