Requests informed consent for 5G exposure and thorough health research before deployment.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hello H.H.S., I am pleased to correspond with you. On the matter of E.M.F. exposure and particularly the roll-out of technology such as 5-G, I certainly want to be informed and have opportunity to consent or not, as a citizen, to the type and level of exposure I can expect from such systems. The rapid deployment of 5-G without the ability to have informed consent, which is like mandated policies during the Covid situation, is not safe and acceptable. Even without encyclopedic knowledge I am aware and very respectful of the reality that our bodies function with varied, subtle, and delicately balanced electro-magnetic systems. Therefore it seems obvious for our healthy functioning to guard against exposures tending to disrupt these balances to our healthy states. Like the fact that effects from vaccines can not be qualified without long term studies on them, the effects to health by E.M.F."s need thorough examination before people are affected by them. I look forward to learning from the efforts being made at H.H.S. to gather information and understanding of systems which can be greatly affecting our well-being. Thank you, Mark Hofmann

Cites a collection of studies as grounds for concern, especially for children, and proposes replacing cel…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Sayer Ji quotes 1009 studies -- ignored by media, politicians and the medical professions alike -- that show the harm to human life, especially to vulnerable children, our future. There is no justifiable reason to roll out the next 6G etc. generation of cell towers when Elon Musk has announced that the technology for satellite phones for everyone is within sight. The PUSH should be for satellite phones and internet, and to PULL all the cell towers in a controlled transition as the technology becomes available. MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN!

Requests affordable ways to avoid exposure and an ability to opt out if products or towers are unsafe.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Please help us find a way to avoid EMF and the harm it does. Right now it cost a fortune to buy products to try and protect ourselves and we still can’t escape the harm. If the products and towers are not safe we should be able to opt out.

Reports increased tinnitus after activation of a nearby communications tower.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
A new comms tower went up and active next to a new fire house right behind my house and I’m almost certain it triggered increased tinnitus. 2096 Talley Rd, San Antonio, TX 78253

Reports hand discomfort, groin pain and headaches around phones or towers and requests research into thes…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Phones are awful - my hands ache and itch if holding an iPhone. If plugged in the problem is off the charts. The symptoms do NOT stay local to the hand and will present in other arts of the body. As an anecdote I was taking long trips each week and would tend to hold my phone while driving. I would inevitably end up with dull pain in my groin. I tried to remedy thinking it was a possible UTI will no progress. It took a couple of months to determine cause as the symptoms seems to come and go. Now it’s evident and obvious that phones are the cause! Lastly, traveling past 5G towers cause noticeable head aches that disappear as you get further away. Shocked our society allows for these technologies with these known issues. I’m convinced many peoples supposed “health” issues are just symptoms of RF exposure. I’m very sensitive physically to external stimuli and this is so very obvious. Please do research and expose this for it’s detrimental effects.

Reports sleep concerns and requests independent long-term research, transparent monitoring and precaution…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am writing to express my serious concerns about the increasing exposure to radiofrequency (RF) radiation from cell towers, particularly in residential neighborhoods and near homes where families and children spend much of their time. I have personally experienced sleep disturbances, difficulty getting restful sleep, and negative effects on my overall physical well-being that I am concerned may be associated with exposure to nearby wireless infrastructure. I believe the potential long-term health consequences of continuous, involuntary exposure deserve much greater investigation. I am so concerned about wireless radiation exposure that I even make an effort to turn off my own Wi-Fi router, particularly at night, to reduce unnecessary exposure while my family sleeps. I believe individuals should have the ability to make these decisions within their own homes. However, regardless of the precautions I take, I have no control over the radiation emitted by nearby cell towers and other wireless infrastructure. This is particularly frustrating because I can take reasonable steps to limit exposure from devices inside my home, yet I cannot meaningfully control exposure originating outside my property. Unlike personal electronic devices, cell towers transmit RF signals around the clock, often without residents having any meaningful choice or control over their exposure. I strongly urge the Department of Health and Human Services to conduct additional independent, long-term research into the potential effects of chronic RF exposure, particularly regarding sleep quality, neurological function, children’s development, and overall health. I also believe stronger transparency requirements, independent exposure monitoring, and greater consideration of residential proximity should be incorporated into policies governing cell tower placement. The absence of conclusive evidence of harm should not automatically be treated as proof that long-term exposure is entirely without risk. Families deserve thorough, unbiased research and reasonable safeguards, especially when exposure is involuntary. My greatest concern is that I am actively trying to create a healthier sleeping environment for my family, yet I have no meaningful ability to control the wireless infrastructure surrounding our home. I should not have to wonder whether the environment in which my children sleep every night could be affecting their long-term health. I am asking HHS to take these concerns seriously, prioritize public health, and ensure that Americans have access to reliable, independent research and transparent information about the wireless radiation present in their communities. Our homes should be places where we can sleep peacefully, recover, and feel safe. We deserve confidence that the infrastructure surrounding our homes is not negatively affecting our health.

Describes migraines beginning during adolescence and later symptoms around wireless devices, severe restr…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am writing regarding the FCC’s response to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals’ remand concerning its decades-old radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure guidelines. This issue matters to me personally because: I am a 34 year old woman whose life has been profoundly affected by a chronic, debilitating health condition, and who has spent nearly two decades searching for answers. My chronic migraines began when I was 15 years old. Around that time, a cell tower was constructed approximately 0.2 miles directly behind my family’s home. I cannot claim that this tower caused my illness, but the timing of these events has remained significant to me throughout my health journey. My symptoms quickly became so severe that I had to reduce my high school schedule. I woke up nearly every morning with debilitating migraines and vertigo, often unable to function. At one point, I missed more than 30 consecutive days of school. My family and I went from doctor to doctor, desperately searching for the underlying cause. I was prescribed countless medications in an effort to manage my symptoms, many of which came with adverse effects. My education suffered, my grades declined, and what should have been a formative, exciting period of my life became a daily struggle to get through the day. Rather than improving with age, my condition became progressively more severe. By age 26, I was experiencing symptoms that I associated with exposure to wireless devices and infrastructure. My arms would go numb while using my phone. I experienced stabbing pains in my head and stomach when people with cell phones came near me or when I was in areas near cell towers. As newer wireless technologies were introduced, I became increasingly concerned about the relationship between these exposures and my symptoms. My family went to extraordinary lengths to try to help me. We invested significant money in completely hardwiring our home and removing all wireless devices in an effort to reduce my potential exposure and find some measure of relief. This was not a casual lifestyle choice; it was a response to the debilitating reality of my daily life and our desperation to find answers. My family has had to make significant adjustments to our home and way of living because of the severity of my condition. The fact that my health concerns have required these kinds of sacrifices speaks to just how profoundly this has affected not only my life, but the lives of the people who love and support me. Also, when 5G technology was introduced in stadiums, attending sporting events became extraordinarily difficult for me because of the debilitating migraines I experienced. Travel became another challenge. Wi-Fi on airplanes, Bluetooth connections, and the wireless devices used by people around me became sources of concern as I struggled to manage my symptoms. Activities that most people take for granted; attending a game, boarding a plane, going into public spaces, or simply being around other people, became obstacles I had to weigh against the possibility of becoming severely ill. The consequences have extended far beyond physical pain. This condition has isolated me from experiences, relationships, opportunities, and the independence that most adults work toward building. I have struggled to maintain the health necessary to work consistently and support myself. Today, at 34 years old, I remain financially and physically dependent on my parents in ways I never imagined would define my adult life. I would give anything to have the freedom to attend a sporting event without fearing the consequences, travel without anticipating debilitating pain, work toward financial independence, and participate in everyday life without having to calculate the potential cost to my health. No one should have to spend nearly two decades fighting to reclaim a life they feel they have lost, while wondering whether an environmental exposure could be contributing to their suffering. People deserve answers. They deserve rigorous science, transparency, and a regulatory process willing to examine difficult questions. I urge the FCC to give meaningful consideration to the experiences and evidence before it and to fully address each of the issues identified by the court.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I live 1 block from a5G array and have suffered intense daily migraines and a high level of anxiety since it came online. They are extremely dangerous. 6G will be considerably worse. This radiation is destructive and must be disassembled and eradicated.

Raises concerns about alleged foreign interference with bodily fluids through wireless infrastructure.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am deeply concerned that non ionizing radiation is another facet of the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluid. We need to secure our wireless infrastructure against the possibility of it being used to introduce foreign substances into our precious bodily fluid

Attributes fatigue and palpitations to surrounding Wi-Fi and towers and favors fiber-optic service.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have been affected by EMF's for years, especially radiofrequency and Cell Towers. I have noticed it more as I get older. Since I live in an apartment, I know I have the exposure from every wi-fi around me. Across the street from me, there are cell phone towers on top of the office building. I have been treated by different holistic practitioners over the years. I know I have a lot of fatigue associated with this, heart palpitations and various other symptoms. At least I know where my health problems come from. Most people do not. Why have they not done fiber optics. That is suppose to be a much safer way.. Thank you for looking further into this.
