Reports electrosensitivity and symptoms improving with lower exposure, recounts relatives’ cognitive and …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
HHS, I am someone who has seen more harms and disease via wireless technologies than most. I am electrosensitive; my grandpa told me of my inherited ability to sense energies when we were close during his lifetime; turns out we are sensitive to human energy and EMF. My grandparents lived on acreage WA. Wireless coverage was poor but existed. Acreage was sold to a wireless company by a neighboring farm, & a large cell tower was installed on the property next to my grandparents' house. "Coincidentally," after tower installation, my grandma began to have memory problems, which she not had before, and leg swelling that was also ususual. My grandpa began to have bad insomnia; sleep disturbances contributed to his dementia, developing over the following years. My grandpa & grandma had personality changes, with new memory impairment, and physical symptoms, including inability to sleep, right after tower installation next to their property. Before this period, they were unusually high functioning cognitively for their age, which they attributed to God and eating mostly plant based diets. Yet for grandparents, the age related decline often seems to be, at least partly the result of new technology around them, yet harms can be put off as age related. During my years as a caregiver, I saw clients from all backgrounds & diseases, but most were over 60. Every time there was dementia, or new mental impairment, like sudden memory problems, I saw the introduction of new tech into their lives: tower facing room, wifi in their room, new smart phone/5g. There was a connection every time; elderly are vulerable groups to diseases & harms causes by EMF's. Now about me: 1st time I sensed RF-EMF directly aware was from my phone that disturbed me. I was 12, and I got my first flip phone; I awoke from sleep literally 1 second BEFORE ringing began. Pattern repeated: I noticed the phone is waking me up, but what is waking me up is something other than light or sound. ITS THE RADATION! Over the years, I began to become more and more SENSITIVE to radiation/EMF. After vaccine injury @13, where I received 2 vaccines containing aluminum & mercury, I had a very bad reaction, physical & psychological. At the time, people tried to convince me my reactions were psychological, but the treatments for such did not help but made everything worse. Some told me there was so way I can be vaccine injured. Yet I chose to not finish vaccine series, when I found out death, paralysis, or premature menopause resulted for many (gardasil). Physical symptoms were significant, but psychological symptoms fit the pattern of aluminum poisoning, combined with EMF: whenever outside home, especially my room, coincidentally farthest away from Wifi & under ceiling with metal pipes in it, I would become anxious or not want to be around people; being in public made me feel like I was literally being electrocuted! Now I see why, years after researching my own health problems, which caused me to find natural solutions on my own... Yet the process took years; I had setbacks many times, & I must admit some were due to more disease causing radiation & EMF's. 2020: both grandmas died; I lived with one of them, & I stayed there awhile after she died. 5G cell is placed on the roof of the house next door--why do they allow such harmful proximity to EMF? After 5G cell, I was unable to RELAX or go to SLEEP until after 12am--I was up right at 7 every morning, unable to sleep in no matter how hard I tried. Melatonin helped some but did not undo symptoms. EMF meter I had measured: off time was 12am & went back on at 7am. My health suffered from the 5g cell; bad insomnia, anxiety, depression, disorganization, headache, malabsorption & pain. After moving, I was unable to not live in houses by a cell tower for years; I mitigated damage by: living in the basement, not having wifi near me, using my phone less/a few hours/turning on airplane mode if not using/off during sleep! Yet, being around Wifi, living near cell towers, hurt my health & mostly mentally. After 2 years, finally living with low radiation, I see health recover, yet I have pain & symptoms recur if around too much EMF: insomnia, headaches, anxiety, depression, fogginess, disorganization, joint pain, irritability, numbness. Daily I see how decreasing EMF helps my health--I want to help others see damages being done to their health by EMF! EMF's daily exposure, controlling as much as possible, I was able to heal. Writing my letter on airplane mode, I can think better. In nature, I can be my full self: no EMF. Interference to human connection is EMF too! Important: every time near cell tower, or wifi modem, or a lot of computers, I feel pain to some degree--radiation mostly alters how I feel, thinking, or sleep. Yet great research exists showing health harms caused by EMF. Please help us! Dr. Martin Pall is one of the foremost researchers on EMF's--PDF 90+ pages of quality research is found on: radiationresearch.org.

A speech-language pathologist reports EHS, nerve and digestive symptoms and loss of work and housing, des…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
2. I am a Speech-Language Pathologist with a Master of Science. I have suffered with EHS (Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity) for the past 5 years. 3a. This includes adverse effects from mostly all EMF exposure (cell phone towers, cell phones, Wifi, smart cars, electric cars, intersection radar, supermarket automatic doors, dirty electricity from household electric sockets, lamps, computers, extension chords, etc.). I’ve had to quit my job and sell my house to survive 3c. Health effects and symptoms included nerve and gut damage, piercing pain near my left temple, burning sensation when holding my phone, pain when driving through intersections, chronic fatigue, malaise, inability to digest food, ringing in ears, etc. 3f. These symptoms dissipated with reducing EMF exposure through silver canopies and clothing, removing heavy metal from my system and allowing my body to heal from the exposure. 6. & 12. I’ve spent the last 5 years researching EHS and EMF to gain understanding and solutions; having read over 300 peer-reviewed, related and near related articles to date. 15. Scientific evidence NOT funded by communication companies, cell phone companies, etc. should be used to avoid biased based on financial gain. 16. A comprehensive review and collection of all the adverse biological effects of EMF; how it affects the human cell, bodily organs, bodily systems and global interactions between the body’s subsystems. 18. Select research articles attached below:

Reports recurring early-morning awakening beginning after a smart-meter installation, describes reviewing…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
It was an early Saturday morning when a knock came from the front door. I wasn’t expecting anyone so I didn’t answer but peaked out the window. It was a man dressed in a jean shirt with jeans on and a white unmarked truck parked on the street. In one hand was a clipboard and the other was a utility meter. He went around to the back yard and the power was turned off briefly while he installed the meter. A flyer was placed on the door knob and it gave information about this new meter called a “Smart Meter” which had glasses on it. The flyer had some information and I thought to myself maybe this will save some money on the next utility bill. No more thoughts about it and I went on with the day. Returning home late that evening I was exhausted and went to sleep around 11PM. I typically am asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow and sleep all the way through the night, but this night was different as I woke up instantly as if I drank a pot of coffee. It was strange because it was still dark and when I got up to head to the kitchen I noticed the clock on the stove say 3:12am it surprised me. What was more surprising was that I felt energy almost like an adrenaline dump, but how was this possible with just 4 hours of sleep? I went back into the bedroom and tried to go back to sleep but tossed and turned for a couple of hours until finally falling back to sleep around 7:30am. Today is now Sunday and it’s business as usual, out of the house and down the road. I’m a little tired but no big deal. I go home and fall asleep around 11pm. Again, I wake up wide awake instantly at 3:12am. This was very strange as I had never in my life experienced this type of disruption. My mind is racing and my curiosity is stimulated as I walk out to the living room and sit on the couch. It was dark but the white Smart Meter pamphlet caught my eye and I thought to myself could this be why I am waking up? No way, that would be thinking crazy. One of my hobbies was buying and selling audio equipment and old BMX bikes. When looking up something new to me a search of the product name along with the term “problems” was a way to cut to the chase whether to waste time and money on it. So of course what did I do? Typed in the search bar “smart meter sleep problems” and low and behold I couldn’t believe my eyes. There were others that were having problems with sleep. One website called stopsmartmeters.org was a treasure trove of information as people would comment and leave links. One of them was to a website filled with documents from the US Military. There was a Defense Intelligence Agency paper that stated “If the more advanced nations of the west were stringent with exposure standards there would be unfavorable effects on industrial output and military functions.” One from NASA and another from the US Naval Medical Research Institute with five pages of symptoms referencing thousands of papers. It all looked legit. I now have been up since 3:12am reading about how smart meters were destroying people’s health and looking at official documents from the US Government with a common symptom of insomnia. They mentioned that it starts out as a sleep issue and then slowly other severe health issues will arise over time. It’s now Monday morning and first thing I’m on the phone with the electric company. The call went something like this. (Me)“Can you change out my smart meter for the one that was on the house on Friday? (utility) No, these are the new meters and they cannot be changed back to the old style meter. Why do you want to change it back? (Me) Because it’s waking me up at 3:12am and there are others having the same problem on the internet. (utility) chuckle, we can have someone out to see if it’s making a noise and check if everything is alright. (me) Alright, well have them come out at 3am because that’s when the problem occurs. (utility) I’m sorry but we can’t do that and we aren’t changing your meter. I thought to myself what the heck is going on? Something can be placed on your home that is causing sleep issues and the utility won’t remove it? It does sound a little crazy after all. Maybe they will stop, if I share the information with them I just found? And this was where it started. Unknowingly it would turn out as a fight for my life.

Reports dizziness and other effects attributed to electronic radiation and experiences of being dismissed…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have attached a checklist the answers all of the questions applicable to an individual. I discuss my reactions to 1. Mobile phones 2. Wi-Fi 3. Bluetooth 4. Smart meters 5. Class D audio amplifiers 6. Cordless phones, with a paragraph for each class of radiation generators. I then provided narratives for Potential adverse health effects experienced, When potential adverse health effects first appeared relative to when exposure began and whether any changes in exposure coincided with potential adverse health effects, Whether medical evaluation or treatment was sought, including any diagnoses received, Whether steps to reduce or eliminate exposure were taken and, if so, whether any subsequent changes in potential adverse health effects were observed, What existing national and international exposure standards, guidelines, or regulatory frameworks should federal health agencies consider when evaluating the potential adverse health effects of human exposure to RF/EMF?, Is additional research needed to develop, test, and evaluate the effectiveness of procedures and techniques for minimizing exposure to electronic product radiation?, How, if at all, should a classification system account for exposure-related characteristics, including operating frequency, power density, specific absorption rate (SAR), electric- and magnetic-field strength, modulation and pulse characteristics, duty cycle, beamforming, simultaneous exposure to multiple frequencies, duration of exposure, distance from the source, proximity to the body, and cumulative exposure over time?, Should exposure assessment or risk evaluation differ for sensitive populations such as those noted below for an older adult, and Please identify any additional scientific evidence, technical information, data, or recommendations that federal health agencies should consider when evaluating potential adverse health effects associated with RF/EMF radiation exposure. All of my responses are from the lens of an individual who has suffered from dizziness and other effects to of exposure electronic radiation. And I have been ridiculed and doubted when I have complained of this issue. I respectfully hope you will take my comments as testimony and consider all of my recommendations,

Alleges directed-energy attacks and organized harassment, describes homelessness, cognitive slowing, dizz…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Greetings. My name is Candice Rutledge, and I am a street cat from Littleton, CO, who is very active via public comment along with the written word (since November 2024) within Arapahoe County, CO, and some of the cities there (primarily Littleton and secondarily Englewood), too. For years, I have been terrorized via DEW/EMF/EMP/RF which has left me with lasting/permanent damage to my baseline health and evidence-collecting devices. Ultimately, I believe all of this to be one part of an overarching fraud scheme involving a cognitive-warfare, organized-harassment campaign against me (also including involuntary eugenics). I currently suspect that these criminal acts are being committed by those who -- for whatever reason -- believe that they can succeed at defrauding 'me and mine'. I believe this because I am an only child, the 'last of my line', and my parents own land within at least 2 states (CO and NE). Although I primarily believe this first reason to be the case, I also believe that there are secondary reasons that I am being targeted, too. Additional reasons include: retaliation through systems that are not secure (whether software-coder-access level, the network-of-devices level, or Salt-Typhoon-ed ISPs ... IDK), especially since I have had a falling out with Lockheed Martin and have become active in expressing my frustration in public ways (especially concerning the terrorism through which I continue to suffer over years). Also, because I am a 'street cat' (homeless by choice to avoid a home that was being invaded, plus to not be as much of a stationary target as before), the bad actors who believe that they can prey on me for billables by causing chaos in my life: such as the medical and mental 'services' – abuse in disguise -- toward which many of us street cats are being funneled these days (while the government is constantly under pressure to fund those loops). So, back to the EMF/RF ... anyway, I have often experienced electrical phenomenon in regard to 'places of politics' (Arapahoe County, CO, HQ during public comment one time; Arapahoe Community College Art Center one night; State of Colorado capitol building, and the Littleton Municipal Courthouse on more than one occasion but the worst was while watching court for a friend) as well as 'out in the field' (often noticing police vehicle presence around the time that I feel unwell but now other vehicles being used for likewise cognitive/EMF/RF warfare, too). Now, after so much trauma: I am slightly-but-noticeably dizzy, slower than before (especially in regard to thinking about topics that are complex until some time has passed before I go 'oh yeah ... I should have thought of XYZ'), and -- when all else is quiet -- I can hear the tinnitus-like 'fry' that fills my mind/nerves when I really should have some peace. Also, I am so sensitized to these hazards by now that I often notice other potential electrical hazards. Though, I often feel as though my concerns go unheard by authorities (despite knowing that there may be a potential hazard to health when I spot such issues), and communicating these problems is difficult to do ... especially to those who have not been through similar experiences (though, I really hope no one else goes through this Hell on Earth). Additionally, I have detected high RF in the Lucky U (Englewood, CO), and people have tried to give me the perception of 'being Xrayed without consent' in the hall of a hospital wing (formerly Swedish Medical Center -- now known as 'Health One' or something like that) within Englewood, CO. Because it is difficult for street cats to have their rights respected and ultimately see justice done on their behalf, there is reason for me to suspect that we street cats are being used as money mules for god knows what ... DEW/EMF/EMP/RF/microwave issues are invisible and remain unknown by most to the point that nobody wants to believe us (while those who do are too afraid to acknowledge lest they become a victim of 'all of this nonsense', themselves, plus it is hard to prove and easier to call us all crazy and 'sweep us under the rug'). I have had 2 body cams break due to a single EMP strike during an argument with police, and I also suspect that police are being directed in some digital way than they would otherwise behave if they were not reading something to do to us that is being insecurely transmitted to them ... but, what can a street cat do besides try to tell the feds [you!] through channels like these (when the FBI and CBI and other agencies are all confused by APTs like Salt Typhoon – probably domestic and not Chinese at all -- and others)? Thank you for reading our reports, BTW! Hopefully, you can help something good happen! <3 -- Candice Jane Rutledge

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I think cell phones need to be banned. All they do is put out EMF radiation after years and years and years of having these stupid things I think we need to all go back to Landlines and answering machines. The kids have lost all social skills there’s headaches my son even stays up all night long and he’s 13 because he’s addicted to the thing. And then can’t get him up in the morning to go to school because of lack of sleep. He complains of headaches he complains of his eyes hurting, and I tell him is the white light on the cell phones. He sleeps with that thing by his head and there’s been a lot of articles about brain cancer and using your phones where it’s under 30% all it does is put out radiation. They need to be banned. They need to not be allowed in school and I know the schools are saying they have band the Esco the kids are still sneaking out their backpacks and using them my son tells me stories about it just like the vaping someone needs to do something about vaping at school that needs to stop cause they’re doing it in the bathroom.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
EMF has had a very adverse affect on my body, particularly after "smart meter" was added to my home without my knowledge. The meter is on a wall adjacent to my living room, and I'm unable to spend a lot of time in my living room because of it. There is constant pain in my right shoulder and I suffer with digestive issues that are related to EMF exposure. Sleep deprivation is also a problem I have that's related to EMF exposure. Sometimes what is deemed as progress is detrimental to the biological and physiological nature of the human race. EMF is one of those things and it's forcing people to live off-grid.

Reports persistent tinnitus, hand pain and brain fog attributed to 5G, expresses concern about 6G and req…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
To whom it concerns, Ever since 5 G was turned on in my area on February 2020 my ears and my wife’s ears have been ringing nonstop ever since. I know this is from the 5 G being implemented. Even my smart phone hurts my hands after it starts to ping back at the cell phone towers. The hurt is bad enough I drop my phone immediately to stop the intense pain shooting in my hands. The brain fog has been going on for the same amount of time ever since February of 2020. We need up to date facts on EMF radiation poisoning. We need doctors able to recognize these symptoms and condition. We need laws to restrict the harmful amounts that are being broadcast through our airwaves. We need to hold the producers of this kind of poison/pollution accountable, fined, and/or imprisoned. Life for me is unbearable since February of 2020. The ringing in my head is bad enough that I often question why do we need this???? We got along just fine with 4 G. Now I learn that they are thinking of turning loose 6 G. I hope and pray they never do this for I believe that 6 G will be the end of me. Presently 5 G is driving me to the edge of insanity, 6 G would topple that and end any form of relief for me . Sincerely, Dr John H.

Alleges two decades of targeting, stalking and electronic torture, reports neurological, skin and sleep s…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
2. Individual. 3. I could write a book! Houston 2025 to 2021. RFI and EMFs making life extremely difficult for 20 years. I live in Florida now. I bought a meter though I know monitoring what [they] are doing to me doesn’t stop it. I’ve felt the attacks mostly on my head, headaches, difficulty concentrating, ears ringing, lethargic, feeling the torture turn on. Also, I have had many years where I get pin holes in my skin, if I am outside for an extended length of time. I have documented much of the torture with pictures but there is no way to document it all for 20 years. My cell phone constantly sets off the meter. Trip to Nebraska in 2010, [they] destroyed this trip, [they] destroyed the opportunity to have a relationship with my cousin’s stepdaughter, a very nice black woman. We were talking and getting to know each other, exchanging phone numbers the day we met and the next day she wouldn’t even look at me. A very common sequence of events for the past 20 years. People are nice to me the first time I meet them and always followed by a negative reaction. Also, [they] placed my seating card nearest to the wall so that the wait staff had to crowd my chair and had the opportunity to harass me over and over and over until I moved my chair so [they] couldn’t do it any longer. FUSION CENTERS. CRIME VICTIM OF REVENGE PORN (I have not seen it, but men always assume the same things, their comments are similar. I have NEVER taken naked photos of myself or let anyone else, never!) [They] set you up and antagonize you until you react. But [they] are cowards. [They] hate being videoed and confronted. Social justice warrior punks. Cartel lawn workers ARE THE WORST. EVERY WHERE I WOULD GO [THEY] WOULD SUDDNELY BE THERE AND START MOWING. I MEAN EVERYWHERE!!! Foreigners harassing me in grocery stores, weaponize foreign language harassment. Siren harassment. Ambulances, firetrucks, city vehicles, construction site equipment lunging at my car as I drive by. Vehicles with blacked-out windows. Noise harassment. Vehicles that backfire. Vehicles with loud pipes. Rice rockets. [They] watch you and know your schedule. The torture goes along with the gang stalking, community stalking, cause stalking, lies and slander, it is cell phone driven for the most part. 4ft Mexican waiter popped is towel one inch from my eye in a restaurant, poisoned too many time to count. After commenting on a Facebook live feed while watching the wall being built. Two cartel Mexicans started joking and saying back and forth how they would just dig under it. I said that they are the reason we are building it. I them started getting international phone calls from Mexico. How in the hell did [they] get my phone number?! Poisoning at Mexican restaurants or by Mexican wait staff at other restaurants. Metal taste in my mouth after eating, headaches, nausea, all around sick feeling. Public assaults by Mexican and foreigners! There are many of us in America. I belonged to the Meet Up group in Houston, there were hundreds of us, mostly women. They still meet once a month. We have been labeled as “targeted individuals” and “non-investigative subjects”. Police know what this is and do nothing about it. A lot of them are part of it, the chiefs know what this is, any gov/city vehicle with lights and sirens. [They] target me with lights and sirens and if I go anywhere new, if I go to a different part of the city, a new city or state it’s much worse. Florida 2020-present, I had to stop going to my DAR (Daughter of the American Revolution) luncheons because of the harassment from the brown wait staff at the country club. The final event was fat brown waiter kept coming at me from behind, leaning is fat gut on me and sneaking up behind me to reach for my place setting. The last straw he took both hands and mashed them down on all of my dishes and utensils. I was sexually harassed for 2 years at that job. This is a drop in the ocean of what happens to me b. [they] always ramp up the torture on Friday afternoons, just to ruin my weekends. I feel it turn on, or if I do anything to investigate what is happening or talk to others that have the same thing happening to them. c. constant headaches, ears ringing, sharp pains in certain spots, top of my head feels like it is going to explode, nausea, loss of sleep, d. 2007 e. no doctors help with this thing, except more that a decade ago there was one doctor who was a target as well, but he eventually had to stop because [they] made it too difficult on him. f. nothing helps, except staying home and not having a life. That is the point where your life is taken from you and you are destroyed in every way g. www.targetedjustice.com – h. constant headaches, inability to concentrate, lethargic, skin irritations, pits, feeling electrified, balance is affected, i. 2006 j. I know others like me and [they] target anyone from all walks of life but mostly women k. others have serious burns
