Cites patents and research to raise cancer, cellular and privacy concerns about 5G and advocates a morato…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Patents disclosed for years the penetration of 5 Ghz signals (“5G”) on the human body. A patent for a vascular system measuring necklace (KR20170017989A) , filed in 2017 before the Korean patent office, discloses: Radar source can be divided into 2Ghz, 5Ghz, 10Ghz, 20Ghz area according to permeation depth by using general RF generator. However, it is most efficient to use 10Ghz source at 5GHz because of different penetration / Do. The sensor has a dedicated radar sensor with a middle wavelength in the wavelength range, which improves detection efficiency and minimizes the amount of energy consumed. What is the penetration efficacy of 5G? In the Korean patent, it is: “the biometric information includes blood pressure, blood flow velocity, color information of blood or blood vessels, pulse, blood vessel thickness, etc.” That is a lot of very personal information 5G can read just by being close to our bodies. Cells feel 5G acutely. In studies done on E. Coli and yeast cells, the 5 Ghz signal was found to influence cellular division ( 5G mobile networks and health—a state-of-the-science review of the research into low-level RF fields above 6 GHz | Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology ). The risk of cancer (constant, uncontrolled cell division) is so well-known that one U.S. patent assigned to Fractal Networks LLC explicitly discloses “Cancer Minimization of 5G Cell Phones” . In that patent US11658407B2, where our cell phones contain varied antennas to capture the 5G signal, a revised reflecting cavity inside the cell phone “can change a radiation direction of the 5G antenna to reduce the electromagnetic radiation on the user. In one embodiment, if the user puts the phone next to the face, sensors detect such usage scenario, and uses the 5G antennas most away from the user to increase antenna efficiency and reduce radiation on the user.” 5G is different from the networks that came before it because 5G ( US11658407B2 - Cellular system - Google Patents ): is used to designate fifth generation of mobile technologies. 5G has made it possible to use mobile phone with larger bandwidth possible. It is a packet switched wireless system. It is used to cover wide area and used to provide higher throughput. It uses CDMA, BDMA and also millimeter wave (for backhaul wireless connectivity). It uses improved and advanced data coding/modulation techniques. It provides about 100 Mbps at full mobility and 1 Gbps at low mobility. It uses smart antenna techniques to support higher data rate and coverage. This higher level of function, and penetration, requires an increased number of cell towers with multi-antenna. 5G relies on massive multi-antenna (MIMO) structures. So not only do we have to be concerned about the radiation from our phones on 5G, we also have to be concerned about the increased number and functionality of cell towers. 5G antennas emit radiofrequency (RF) radiation and so far the 3.5 GHz frequency has been used as carrier wave for 5G in city environments. RF radiation, a type of microwave, was already proven to be harmful to human health at levels encountered in the environment before the deployment of 5G. Per OSHA ( Radiofrequency and Microwave Radiation - Health Effects | Occupational Safety and Health Administration ), the WHO/International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B), based on an increased risk for glioma, a malignant type of brain cancer, associated with wireless phone use. With 5G, RF radiation has reached such levels we should expect widespread headaches, fatigue, concentration difficulty, insomnia, emotional distress, irritability, dysesthesia, skin lesions including burning sensation, cardiac and lung symptoms. Another term for the illness is radiofrequency sickness syndrome. ( Summary of seven Swedish case reports on the microwave sy... ) Sweden and France conducted extensive studies on RF radiation. https://www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi/10.1515/reveh-2024-0017/html French studies exposing animals to the 3.5 GHz frequency found negative effects such as oxidative stress in the liver, kidneys, the plasma, degenerated neurons in the brain as well as oxidative stress in muscles and negative effects on bone strength. France combats the health risk associated with 5G by banning certain pieces of 5G equipment ( France introduces de facto ban on Huawei 5G equipment by 2028 – POLITICO ) and favoring local manufacturers, where it can test antennas for radiation reduction among other factors. The United States does not seem to have conducted thorough tests on 5G / RF radiation impact on human cells. We are really falling behind in understanding 5G. It may be best if we place a moratorium on all imported 5G equipment (similar to what France did in July 2020) until radiation reduction policies and equipment options can be explored and prioritized.

Attributes metastatic breast cancer to a local tower and describes persistent noise.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
There is a tower in the middle of our town on a river bluff. We don't get service from it because we are below it in a holler. The service tower for us is the next big city in another state. It is never quiet. Only when the power goes down to the tower is it ever quiet. What damage does it do? I have stage IV lobular breast cancer. I have lived here ten years. The cancer I have forms in crystal type and I have one small area of one breast that is affected. But this cancer has eaten holes in all my bones and created these crystal like formations. The frequency of the tower I believe has caused a turbo cancer in me. There is no family history of breast cancer in my family. Actually only one who has developed cancer was in their 80s.

Argues that evidence of EMF harm warrants stronger industry oversight and safety standards.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I'm constantly amazed and disturbed that EMF radiation has been so ignored by health and regulatory agencies. The evidence of harm caused by EMFs is overwhelming, especially with the proliferation of cell phones and cell towers bristling with antennas. It's high time the industry was reigned in and safe standards were established.

Reports persistent buzzing and sleep difficulty near a tower and considers shielding for relief.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My head buzzes 24/7 and sleep is always elusive… I live in Western Wisconsin about a mile from a 5G tower, so this is better than my experience in South Minneapolis. I’m thinking about investing in a faraday hat to see if it will help me sleep. I’m praying for relief. Please - make this madness stop.

Opposes tower expansion, citing health concerns and insufficient oversight and public input.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am a concerned citizen. These towers and 5G going up everywhere without much oversight or public input at all, when studies have shown negative health consequences from living too close to them or increasing amounts of exposure. Please stop the use of these. No tech advancement is worth the health of our citizens.

Attributes neurological symptoms to Wi-Fi and towers and requests research into harmful and potentially b…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I believe WiFi and cell towers contribute to many health issues.Any negative frequency will. Humans are bombarded 24/7. I believe it causes brain fog,anxiety and damage to our nervous systems, among other issues not understood or noted as of yet. Please do amasoce study on negative frequency and then use of positive ones to heal.

Requests well-funded independent research on towers and Wi-Fi and advocates large residential setbacks.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
There needs to be much more research regarding cell towers and wifi. There is much anecdotal information regarding the health danger that cell towers and wifi are. But, there needs to be well funded, extensive research, funded by parties with no vested interest in the outcome of the research. In my opinion, cell towers should not be allowed within 5 miles of residential areas or other high population areas.

Reports health symptoms while living near a 5G tower and alleges weaponized targeting and surveillance of…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
We lived next to a 5G tower for 3.5 years and experienced many negative health effects including nausea, vertigo, brain fog, headaches, fatigue, rosacea, burning / stinging of eyes, and targeted attacks by means of bad actors directing energy from the tower to attack our central nervous systems (brains). Our elderly neighbor, who leaves even closer to the tower than we did, has had at least two strokes so far. I myself have Parkinson's symptoms. To summarize, we experienced all of the typical bad reactions to living so near to the EMFs and RFs surrounding these towers. MOREOVER, we experienced many atypical reactions due to the weaponized use of the tower to intentionally direct energy at us, our pets, and our home. We consider these actions to be acts of terrorism, and we believe the actors doing these crimes to be terrorists. MOREOVER, the towers and the direct energy are being used more covertly to surveil via wifi route and other experimental equipment, including a motion detection feature that sees us inside our house and some sort of way to read our thoughts. No, I am not crazy! Please look into these claims. Please contact Jesse Beltran at Mind Nexus to find out more about how this works. Thank you for your attention to these matters.
