Attributes a husband’s rare eye cancer and illness to antennas beside a condo bedroom, describes unsucces…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
In 2020 after almost losing ny husband to covid. Remdesivir destroyed 2/3rds of his kidneys. He has heart disease also, forcing our hand to sell our home and move into a top floor of 6 story condo March of 2021. On July 3 at a routine eye exam, we were told his results were "concerning", on July 5 he was told he had a large choroidal melanoma tumor behind his left eye. 5 IN A MILLION CANCER!!! THIS WAS NO COINCIDENCE!!. We were never advised or told what hung outside the windows of our bedrooms when we purchased. In 2023 we were told the 4g towers were upgraded to 5g in Nov. What was behind what I thought were electrical boxes on side of building were indeed cell towers. The HOA Board agreed to upgrade...they had no choice as years earlier ONE board member signed a 30 YR iron clad document "locking us in". The residents only thought about the income that kept the fees down. My daughter called me one day as she was driving by and said "Why didn't you tell me there are cell towers on your building?" I just didn't realize. She quickly bought monitors and enlightened me in April 2024. US CELLULAR told the board they didn't want to put the "boxes" back up as it was too much maintenance. Unfortunately, my husbands head was 8 feet from the other side of the wall where those 4G/5G towers were literally DRILLED into the brick building. I started asking questions, no one had an answer..why was this allowed? We bought 3 different RF monitors online, the numbers were horrific..like in the 300-400's.. the monitors would scream beeping...normal and safe was in the 20's! I laid monitors on my husband's pillow...it was 180! When I stood in front of the wall where the tower was on the other side..450! I scoured the internet for information. I called different companies across the country asking if I could hire a professional. I called the FCC, i begged someone to hear me. I sent a text to US CELLULAR TOWER, i got a call one week later. It was Mike Deinhart the VP of US cellular towers. He asked me to tell him what I was concerned about. I thought finally, someone is listening. I told him everything, i sent him videos. He of course said online monitors were not reliable and their RF meters are very accurate. I said..All I'm asking is please have your guys come indide and reassure me that my space was safe". His reply was "Well we dont measure it inside, all we check is to make sure people on ground within distance is within guidelines" But he said I will talk to my team and of course I need to take this to legal" .I should have known at that moment, it was dead. He PROMISED to stay in touch, call him or email him any time. Well, you guessed it...I bugged him two more times, i got one obligatory phone call that USCell was selling and he would probably not be in that job etc etc but he would try to find a T MOBILE person to take on my case. He's still there, nothing done. I stopped the actual tower workers one day, i said Why cant you come in and test? They said, "Our bosses boss told us if we spoke to you we lose our job". My God.!! I cant fight this battle, legally, physically or emotionally. I spent 3 months doing NOTHING but caring for my husband who passed out EVERY DAY he got out of bed, never realizing his bedroom space was literally killing him. Summer of 2026, I had a new neighbor, a retired electrical engineer who heard my plight, he lived on 4th floor. He and another retired engineer research our condo, bought very expensive monitors on their own, they tested and recorded readings. They were horrified. I had moved my husband out of that room after the cancer but I was sleeping in that room. We researched the RF paint, last summer we painted the room. It did bring down readings but the damage was done. We sold the condo but I felt I had at least made it as safe as I could. Someone HAS TO do something!! I literally could open a window and touch the bottom of the tower. These companies don't give a damn about human lives, we were living in a literal microwave. Companies who test told me.. you have to move there is no safe place in that condo. I appreciate that RFK JR is bringing this fight the attention it needs.

Reports hypersensitivity and symptoms around devices, makes broad health claims, and urges protection of …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
The SAR (syndrome of acute radiation) caused by microwave radiation from telecommunication antennas, mobile phones, routers, computers, etc…, is the reason so many of us are sick, debilitated, confused, with memory loss, brain tumors, cardiac arrests, skin conditions, tinnitus, flu like symptoms, ADHD, Parkinson’s, dementia, to name a few. There exists a technology which grounds the microwave radiation, so it is not harmful to living beings and nature. Governments should start using this technology to help the population get better health. I personally am a hypersensitive person, affected by exposure to the wireless radiation emitted from antennas, mobile phones, computers, and routers, for example. My symptoms manifest as headaches, fogginess, tiredness, tingling in the face (specially the chin area), upset stomach, and eye strain. I’m very proud of Bobby Kennedy’s work in the Health Department. I hope he and his team keep digging for answers about the dangers of exposing humans and animals to microwave wireless radiation. I’m specially concerned for the children, as their skull’s thickness is less than an adults, thus the wireless radiation penetrates easily. The military operation of raising towers with antennas all over the world, needs to stop. Humanity is at risk. Children are at risk. Nature is at risk. Species are at risk. We are all at risk! We know better, we can do better! Let’s tackle the pink elephant in the room. If we do, Bobby Kennedy’s name will go down in history, for saving humanity from its finality. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Reports gastrointestinal symptoms and insomnia near a tower, resolution after moving, and self-described …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I briefly lived across the street from a Cell Phone tower. I lived on Lantern Crest Cove in Lantern Ridge subdivision in Metro Atlanta. The cell tower was just across the neighborhood street from my door. It was a small tower with only one triangular antennae array at the top. It was LOW... much shorter in height than any other tower I have seen. This tower (per GoogleMaps) has now been relocated within the neighborhood to the next street over. I can't tell if it is now on a taller pole (from GoogleMaps.) Prior to moving to this townhome in Lantern Ridge, I enjoyed spectacular good health. I took no Rx meds... and still don't. I had no chronic conditions... and still don't once I got better after moving away from the cell tower. I was an Aerobics Instructor from age 35 to age 50. I have continued fitness classes multiple times weekly to this day. I am now 66 years old. A lifetime of healthy habits and good genes has blessed me with uncommonly good health... except for my few months spent across the street from a cell tower, I developed nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, insomnia and night sweats. I felt like a rope was knotted around my stomach. I couldn't eat. I lost 10 pounds... from 125lbs to 115lbs in about 2 months. My tongue became swollen with raised red nodules... looking at it made me think that if the rest of my GI Tract looked like my tongue, then no wonder I had nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. It started with the nausea and diarrhea, but by the time I left the home I was vomiting every morning as if I had morning sickness from pregnancy. I was 60 years old and menopausal, so NOT pregnant. I have never experienced insomnia, but living across from that tower, I was awake with night sweats every night. The symptoms resolved completely once I moved, although it took a couple months to get back to normal. I only lived there a few months, and stayed with local family a good bit of that time once I realized the issue HAD to be the proximity to the tower. Its been 6-7 years, and I am long since back to my normal state of excellent health, but I will NEVER live close to a tower again. The detrimental health effects are REAL for those sensitive to the radiation. I guess I'm sensitive. Yay, me. My neighbors that I spoke with during my short time on Lantern Crest Cove denied any ill effects. I think I would have eventually died, unless its possible to build up a tolerance to the radiation. It distresses me to no end that SCHOOLS seem to be a favorite place to put cell towers!! Beeming radiation right by the KIDS all day long!!! Even if they don't experience what I did, HOW can we just assume it's safe??? For the love of God, stop capitulating to the Powers-that-Be who think cell towers on school grounds are a great idea! I swear, sometimes I think they really ARE trying to kill us all!! Best regards, C Kornman, RN,BSN

Claims newer wireless technologies have changed human health and proposes comparing towns using older sys…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have dedicated my life over the last 3 years exploring non ionizing radiation biological effects, i have no answer except that the modern world with 5g mmwav and ax wifi and higher speeds has changed the human species at least visually for the worst, although I have exliremented witbolder technology including ntsc cable tv and 3g wireless cdma i do not have an answer, maybe removing all 5g and mm wave and returning to 3g 4glte and removing ax is the answer but I don't know either way I just know that the human species has mutated due to 5g mmwave and ax high speed wifi also the advent of coax cable based wifi routers is another new development that has changed residential as well as high speed fiber optic, I wish I had an answer but I don't I would start with creating towns where only 3g exists and at most ac wifi and seeing if the people there are overall healthier, Russia has nkt implemented 5g and has retained 3g, it is an idealistic to say go back to analog ntsc cable tv and 56k modems but my attempts with this have failed, I don't knkw the answer j just feel that everything is off due to specifically 5g mmwave and ax hugh speed wifi, Parker

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My comment regards the need for testing emf radiations. I developed tinnitus in my ears during the covid lockdowns when cell towers were erected without public input. It affects my sleep, concentration, and communication. Please address the need for science on the effects and harms of this form of radiation.

Describes severe illness with multiple possible exposures, reports symptom changes after wireless reducti…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
September 30, 2026 I am submitting this response as an individual reporting my firsthand experience with wireless/RF exposure and changes in my health and functioning that I have observed over many years. For most of my life I was healthy. I went to college and graduate school, had part-time jobs, and then taught high school in Texas from 2012-2017. And then I got sick. There had been some warning signs, including migraine (starting 2014) and fatigue, but the illness became so severe and seemed to come out of nowhere in 2015. I saw 52 doctors over two years. None could determine what was happening or offer an explanation for the severity of my symptoms, and the primary treatment offered was various pharmaceuticals. Looking back, I see that several environmental exposures were occurring at the same time. I was working in a school where our classrooms were under a gym. A coworker across the hall had visible mold in his room. The spring before I became severely ill (2015), the Wi-Fi router in the building was upgraded and placed directly outside my room. The building I moved into to live had more than 50 floors and antennas on the roof, and was across the street from a hospital with its own antennas. Hundreds of people lived in the building, with their own routers, cell phones, and other wireless devices. I cannot determine which exposures contributed to my illness, or to what degree. However, over the years I began noticing a consistent relationship between reducing my wireless exposure and changes in specific symptoms. For example, health professionals have informed me that mycotoxins (which I have high levels of) are increased by EMF exposure, and that heavy metals in the body (which I have high levels of) are made worse by EMF exposure. This is an additional concern that other health concerns are made worse by EMFs. When I was staying with friends while trying to find suitable housing (2017-2020), I asked them to turn off the Wi-Fi router at night. I noticed a significant improvement in my sleep. I also told my cardiologist about my observations when I was undergoing a Holter monitor evaluation for heart palpitations. I had noticed that the palpitations were worse when the Wi-Fi was operating. I subsequently began reducing my wireless exposure wherever possible. I use wired Ethernet connections for my computer and phone, keep devices in airplane mode when possible, and not using Bluetooth devices. My overall health remains poor, but I continue to notice exacerbation of my symptoms with increased wireless exposure. I can often tell without looking at my phone whether it is transmitting or in airplane mode because I experience an intense frontal headache when it is transmitting. I have also experienced a significant change associated with the cell tower nearest my home. When the tower underwent an upgrade (2026), I experienced a substantial increase in headaches, migraines, head pressure, fatigue, and brain fog. These symptoms have affected my ability to function in daily life. I am currently exploring ways to reduce my exposure while sleeping, but remain exposed during most of the day. My experience has left me concerned about the cumulative and largely unavoidable nature of wireless exposure in modern life. I live in a rural area and have deliberately reduced wireless technology in my home, yet I cannot eliminate exposure because of nearby infrastructure and wireless signals in the surrounding environment. I feel like the canary in the coal mine: someone who experiences significant effects that may be associated with exposure levels that most people encounter without apparent difficulty. I do not claim to know what mechanism explains my experience or what conclusions should be drawn from it. I am asking that experiences such as mine be taken seriously as information worthy of investigation. I believe research should examine not only exposure levels under controlled conditions, but also real-world cumulative exposure, changes in exposure over time, individual variability in response, vulnerable populations, and what happens when individuals reduce their exposure. People should also have meaningful information about the wireless infrastructure and sources of RF exposure in and around their homes, workplaces, schools, and communities.

Expresses concern about family wireless exposure and supports curtailing towers in populated areas.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am a retired Grandma who is concerned about the dangers of EMF’s, RF’s, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I admire the Westin A Price Foundation for its podcasts on these subjects. I do ad much as I can to protect myself from these forces. I applaud efforts to curtail so many towers in and around highly populated areas just for the sake of higher speeds! I worry about my children and grandchildren’s constant exposure to these things!

Attributes illness to a streetlight base station and raises concerns about roadside arrays, facial recogn…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
We are from the UK and have had Electromagnetic Radiation Poisoning from a Telensa Street Light Base Station. We are now trying to reduce these items in our home, but outside it is a different matter, we are subjected to Phased Arrays and Yellow Poles on main roads with Facial Recognition. The Council will not answer our requests for help, neither will our MP. and free speech is diminishing here.
