Proposed biological mechanisms

See attached file(s). “Safety of Wireless Technologies – The Scientific View”, co-authored by Richard A. Lear and Camilla R. G. Rees, MBA, shines a light on U.S. government warnings about health risks from wireless radiation–warnings issued over 50 years ago that were roundly ignored for decades by U.S. regulators, including the FCC, EPA and FDA. The paper explains that unheeded warnings in a U.S. Naval Medical Research Institute review study in 1971, which reviewed 2,311 scientific studies on biological and health effects of electromagnetic fields, finding 132 different biological effects, symptoms and diseases associated with wireless exposures, contributed to the explosion in chronic illnesses in the U.S. In ignoring the findings in the U.S. government’s own research, regulators enabled millions of unnecessary chronic exposure conditions on the American public, leading to diseases that could have been prevented. Refusal to act on the evidence significantly harmed human lives, and also burdened the health care system and economy. “Safety of Wireless Technologies: The Scientific View” demonstrated 23 of today’s top 36 fast-growing chronic diseases were predicted by the Navy study in 1971. By 2015, incidences of these 23 chronic diseases may have added as much as $2 trillion in annual health care costs to the U.S. economy. The paper by Lear and Rees also highlights what is being call “the smoking gun” for chronic disease, the molecule, peroxynitrite. Peroxynitrite is common to all chronic diseases, and is created, as well, by wireless radiation exposures. “Wireless signals trigger oxidative/nitrative stress in humans. In particular, calcium ion messengers initiate the production of superoxide, peroxynitrite, and other free radicals. These agents not only disrupt biological homeostasis, but evidence points to them creating a lethal system of 7 synergistic biofactors that can both initiate and accelerate disease. This system of dysfunction we’ll call “P-Factor.” Peroxynitrite sits at the epicenter. It includes systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, autonomic dysfunction, epithelial dysfunction and nitrative stress. P-factor is shared by all 36 of the fastest-growing diseases in the US. Is P-factor the smoking gun for the current U.S. chronic disease health crisis?” Some contend other environmental factors contributed to the growth in chronic disease, including sugar consumption, glyphosate in the food supply, pesticides and other chemicals. While all of these, like wireless radiation exposures, trigger the production of the likely smoking gun for chronic disease, the molecule peroxynitrite, “Safety of Wireless Technologies: The Scientific View” convincingly documents both the depth and breadth of the science linking risk from wireless radiation, dating back over many decades. The science speaks volumes: there is an undeniable connection between wireless radiation and chronic disease The paper contains a chart that lists 23 of 36 fast growing chronic diseases today, all of which were predicted by the findings in the U.S. Navy study in 1971. Between 1990, when wireless proliferation began, and 2015, there were over 549 million incidences in the U.S. of these 23 diseases. Unfortunately, warnings in the U.S. Navy study were ignored. This facilitated both exponential growth in the wireless industry and led to explosive growth in these chronic illnesses at great human and economic cost. Given the new administration in Washington, D.C. has stated its intention to address the chronic disease crisis, we encourage government and corporate leaders to zero in on the exogenous root cause of chronic disease, from wireless technologies, described in “Safety of Wireless Technologies: The Scientific View”. The paper convincingly documents both the depth and breadth of the science linking risk from wireless radiation, dating back over many decades, and the science speaks volumes: there is an undeniable connection between wireless radiation exposure and chronic disease.

There need to be new ndependent studies that tell us definitively whether exposure to EMF's, RF's and Wireless radiation is dangerous. I, personally am concerned that 5 g may be used to cause clotting in people who have had certain vaccinations that some scientists insist have nanoparticles which can be used for nefarious purposes.

I am a registered nurse with more than a decade of experience in healthcare, and my experience with electromagnetic sensitivity developed in the context of a significant environmental illness. My health initially declined after living in a water-damaged, mold-contaminated home. I developed severe neurological and systemic symptoms, including vertigo, tinnitus, cognitive changes, headaches, sleep disruption, and other symptoms that dramatically affected my ability to function. After leaving that environment, my health improved significantly. I eventually moved into a different home and initially felt well there. That is when I began recognizing something I had not previously understood: electromagnetic exposures appeared to trigger some of my neurological symptoms even when I was no longer living in the mold-contaminated environment. I began noticing repeatable patterns with certain exposures. Turning on Wi-Fi could bring on unusual neurological sensations in my head. Certain electronics could trigger sharp headaches and uncomfortable sensations in my chest or heartbeat. Increasing my distance from these sources, turning wireless devices off, and hard-wiring equipment often reduced the symptoms. What made this particularly interesting to me as a nurse was that I did not react equally to every electronic environment. For example, I could work around hard-wired hospital computers without experiencing the same degree of symptoms. That made me begin paying closer attention to the type and characteristics of the exposure rather than assuming that all electronics affected me equally. I am not claiming that my experience proves that electromagnetic exposure caused these symptoms. I am reporting a pattern that became sufficiently reproducible that I could no longer dismiss it. My experience also raises a question that I believe deserves serious research: Could environmental illness or other biological stressors make some individuals more susceptible to electromagnetic exposures? In my case, the sensitivity became apparent following a period of significant illness associated with a water-damaged building. I encourage HHS to investigate people who report electromagnetic sensitivity rather than studying only healthy populations. Research should examine whether previous environmental exposures, chronic inflammation, neurological injury, or other biological factors may identify susceptible subgroups. Controlled and blinded exposure studies could help determine whether reported symptoms correspond with measurable physiological or neurological changes. There is still much we do not understand. As both a nurse and someone who has personally experienced this phenomenon, I believe patient experiences like mine should be treated as observations worthy of investigation—not as proof of causation, but as signals that can help us ask better scientific questions. I hope HHS will pursue rigorous, independent research into electromagnetic exposure, individual susceptibility, cumulative exposure, and the experiences of people reporting electromagnetic sensitivity.

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, caregiver, advocate, concerned member of the public. The potential health effects of long-term exposure to wireless radiation deserve continued, independent, and comprehensive scientific research. As wireless technologies—including cell phones, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth devices, smartwatches, and other connected technologies—have become increasingly integrated into everyday life, people are being exposed to radio frequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) for longer periods and across multiple sources, often unaware of these exposures.There is currently no research that establishes whether typical wireless exposure causes specific health conditions. Therefore, questions remain about the potential effects of chronic, cumulative, and long-term exposure, particularly at lower intensities and among children and other potentially vulnerable populations. Research should therefore examine not only short-term effects but also long-term biological impacts, including possible effects on sleep, neurological function, reproductive health, cellular processes, and overall well-being. Independent research free from industry influence is especially important so that public health recommendations and safety standards are based on the strongest available evidence and can be updated as technology and scientific understanding evolve.

I have self-diagnosed EHS (Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity Syndrome). I choose to live in a rural area away from wifi hotspots, cell phone towers, and 5G antennas. And the home I live in has an analogue meter instead of an AMI (Smart meter). After 20 minutes of exposure to AMI technology (within 30-40 feet), or RF/EMF, I start to experience mood disorders, neurological problems, and pain. This includes anger, anxiety, and what feels like needles poking into my brain. After about 30-60min of exposure, my symptoms increase to include panic attacks, neck and shoulder pain, dizziness, and suicidal thoughts. Because of the prevalence of RF/EMF, I cannot be inside a mall or large grocery store for more than 30 minutes before the pain/dizziness begins. I cannot be inside smaller businesses, such as restaurants, libraries, and doctor offices, for more than an hour. I cannot hang out at the homes of friends and family unless I stay 30-40 feet away from their smart meters and RF/EMF emitting devices. I cannot use a smart phone, nor can I be around other peoples’ smart phones while in use. And when I use my flip phone to make/receive calls, I have to hold it 2 feet away from my head. And I cannot live within one mile of a cell phone tower. In the past, I’ve bought several different RF/EMF blocking materials and devices to shield myself from this radiation, but they didn’t work. I recognize that I am abnormally sensitive. I attribute that sensitivity to the 2 medical conditions I’ve been diagnosed with: The first is dysautonomia (an impaired autonomic nervous system), and second, I have myalgic encephalomyelitis, aka ME, (a chronic low-grade inflammation in my brain). Sensitive individuals like myself should probably be taken seriously. We are the canaries in the coal mine: an early indicator of potential danger. But...I’ve noticed that the vast majority of the information of EHS, on the internet, is derogatory. Some websites have suggested that suffers, like me, are mentally ill, or that we are “making it up.” This is a painful reality, but I try to remind myself that this is how it goes with new illnesses until enough public awareness is achieved. Jack Dorsy (Twitter founder) is also a sufferer – maybe he will help raise awareness someday.

In a previous office suite where "acceptable" levels of mold were detected, I experienced adverse reactions following the building-wide installation of 5G. The testing professional stated the 5G can exacerbate sensitivities to mold even at "acceptable levels." In my current office suite, "acceptable levels" of mold were detected. The building had 5G existing when I moved in. I have continuing adverse reactions daily.

Hi everybody however i live in Belgium I did esoteric research. 5G ans wifi disturbing our immune system in some kind of way You can't imaged how this works. 5G and wifi are static second dimensional energy and disturbs our 3th dimensional energy which we called as aura. Problems in the psyche opens gaps or are even knowledgeable in joints who reacts because of these psyche. It is known that mental disease people often have also physical problems. By tuneforks i am able to release the sec dimensional energy of the human aura. The most remarkable issue: the person whose undergoes this kind of treatment is remembering their own psychic problem which is for me the proof that 5G and wifi brings problems and can occur cancers. Please if you know more or are interesting in it let me know by email.

I live in Slovenia, about 90 meters from cell towers. I am unvaccinated and have not had COVID-19. My health issues began with 4G deployment (shoulder calcifications) and exploded with 5G. Symptoms include brain fog, poor concentration and memory, ear pain, insomnia, extreme fatigue, and joint pain. Symptoms disappear when changing locations. Replacing our modem worsened ear pain. Turning off home Wi-Fi 3 years ago eliminated frequent colds/coughing and reduced some symptoms, though fatigue and cognitive issues persist. I now use my mobile phone only for SMS. In enclosed spaces, especially modern cars (with GPS, built-in SIMs, radar, and sensors), reactions occur in 100% of cases. Phone calls or active wireless in cars cause severe pressure, breathing difficulty, voice distortion, and panic/suffocation, forcing me to open windows. Talking on the phone for 10 minutes distorts my voice and causes flu-like symptoms for a week. Strong Wi-Fi exposure triggers insomnia, sore throat, and respiratory symptoms. I attribute these reactions to EMF/high-frequency disruptions of oxygen transport: Tissue Hypoxia: Deprivation of adequate oxygen to cells. Rouleaux Effect / Red Blood Cell Agglutination: Red blood cells stacking due to charge changes, impairing capillary flow and oxygen delivery. Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS): EMF-triggered vascular constriction and air deprivation. After installing a rooftop solar inverter, holding a wired mouse caused pain/electrical sensations despite all wireless being off. Measurements confirmed "dirty electricity" from the inverter converting DC to AC, creating voltage spikes across unshielded house wiring. A dirty electricity meter showed ~1900 mV (safe limit: 50 mV). We are currently awaiting active/passive filters. My body acts as a sensor without needing instruments. Health issues affect my family too: my husband has tinnitus. Of our three children, the two who attended school near broadcast antennas have issues: one has hearing loss (also used a baby monitor), and the other has tremors. Both were exposed 24/7. Our third child, who attended a different school, shows no symptoms. Following 5G deployment, health problems appeared across our neighborhood among both vaccinated and unvaccinated, young and old (e.g., heart arrhythmia in an unvaccinated neighbor, high blood pressure in a 17-year-old). Most neighbors now have high blood pressure, with several recent sudden cardiac deaths and cancer cases. Unprotected exposure, especially for children, risks an explosion of chronic illness and cognitive decline.
