Neurological symptoms & sleep

I believe 5G is affecrting me neurologically in some ways. My balance is definitely off and i am very fit!

Our family’s personal experience with EMFs has been deeply concerning, and we want our experiences to be heard. I personally experience what feels like physical effects when we are near certain cell towers. As we drive by, I sometimes feel symptoms that I associate with the towers, and when stopped at traffic lights near equipment mounted on utility poles, I experience pain. Living in an area where this infrastructure continues to expand has made daily life increasingly difficult for me. My family has also had a very difficult experience involving my son. We traveled out of state to tour a college, and after 5G equipment was added to the area, he became extremely ill while he was there. He could barely go outside without turning pale and feeling terribly sick. He only lasted a few days before we had to bring him home, resulting in the unexpected expense of moving him and his belongings all the way back. I also experience a burning sensation in my hands when holding a cell phone. While my children were in school, they experienced severe migraines in classrooms where Wi-Fi routers were located directly inside the classrooms. After additional signal boosters were installed, we felt their symptoms became even worse. These experiences have affected our family’s daily lives, education, finances, and overall well-being. We understand that individual experiences do not, by themselves, establish the cause of symptoms, but we believe they deserve to be heard and taken seriously. We are asking for greater transparency, careful investigation, independent research, and consideration of the people who report experiencing symptoms in areas where wireless infrastructure is expanding. Communities deserve access to clear information about these installations, the opportunity to voice concerns, and meaningful consideration of their experiences before more equipment is added. Our family should not have to feel that we must choose between participating in modern life and feeling well in our own community. Please listen to the people who are raising these concerns.

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. I know my family is impacted because we get headaches near 5G towers and our sleep is impacted, too. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence. I urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.

I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields(EMF,) Radio Frequency (RF), and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding from the perspective of a concerned member of the public. Both my husband and myself developed tinnitus after a cell tower was installed in our neighborhood. It has caused nervous tension and sleep disturbances for the last 5 years. My husband has also developed repeated issues with vertigo which has dramatically affected our lives. I support HHS in taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health, medicine, biology and public health and the experiences of individuals and families who report having been affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence. I urge the HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health.

I personally have been harmed, back in 2018 I became Electromagnetically sensitive, all that's been put out into the atmosphere with the cell towers, etc.my body started to react and it's been truly horrible. I cannot tell you enough of the personal physical and emotional anguish since and they all along that some people would not be able to tolerate it and their nervous systems, etc would become sensitive. Please Secretary Kennedy find out what is happening as well, where it's coming from, cell towers or satellites intermittent throughout the day and night very strong frequencies are being sent and affecting people. They make my body vibrate intensely and cause a lot of anxiety. I'm sure they are affecting people even if they aren't EMF sensitive , in a variety of ways. Please get to the bottom of it, expose what is going on and put a stop to it.

When I purchased my first mobile telephone, I set it together, switched it on and held it to my ear. Suddenly I recieved an short sharp electric shock in my nose. Wondering I looked for warnings on the packaging. NONE. Later when I began using this very useful apparatus; also held to my head/ear I experienced a certain typ of headache after some minutes of conversation. Aagin no warning on the packet that this could arise. This headache still arises today, 25 yrs later, even if I use handsfree earphones and cable and the telephone at arms length from me. The headache is stronger when the telephone is used in a car. The same type of headache arises for me with Wifi apparatus radiating in indoor rooms. I am an self employed business person and find the phone very useful, but very problematic. No warning comes from manufacturers or radiation authorities here in Sweden. Now I have to avoid towns where 4G + 5G masts are closer and causing stronger emf radiation. I have to carry a emf test meter so as not to be forced to experience the uncomfortable and inhibiting headache which impairs my whole feeling of wellbeing. At home, I cannot sleep in my above-ground bedroom as the radiation level entering into my property from the nearby telecom mast has increased enormously over the years giving me sleep problems. I have to sleep in the cellar. I discovered that there are many others with the same or similar problem with mobile telephone systems and RF/EMF. I find this particularly disturbing that the mobile industry is not subjected the precautionary principle and to providing tests and studies and that clear information is provided to customers. That is not just and honourable business practice neither honourable politics. This undermines my trust in politics and stock exchange companies. That politicians do not represent the peoples health before the profits of the telecom industri investors and make sure safety is first and that new emf technology business must prove the system harmless, especially to children and insects. I have had to inform myself about the state of the research into EMF effects on living organisms, I found that is is massive but always excluded from the mainstream press and authorities are not published or restrictive towards industry. All this amounts to an undermined quality of life. One is ostracised by others who do not experience problems with emf radiation and have never heard that there is a risk. This is not conjusive to an open and healthy society, even within my family. I really wonder if RF/EMF affects younger peoples cognitive abilities and problem solving intelligence? This over and above the effect that due to the lack of practical experiences in growing children when caught for hours infront of telephones and computers whether radiating or not than gaining life experience.

Thank you for this opportunity to comment on EMF, RF and wireless Radiation Exposure. Cancer has increased in peoples' bodies where cell phones are placed in pockets. Microwaves are not allowed in some countries because of the damage to food so the food is not nutritious for the people. Ringing in ears is said to be increased since the wall to wall low frequency’s are in the airwaves. Seems like these waves used to accomplish things that can be provided in a safer way and should be provided to the public asap otherwise cray cray to keep doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome, AND if this statement is true from AI/SI we need to do the opposite "Everyday Levels are Safe: Global authorities, including the World Health Organization (WHO) and Health Canada, state that the low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMF) encountered in homes, schools, and offices from appliances and wiring do not cause confirmed adverse health effects." Thats cray cray, they had us wearing masks during Covid and 6 feet apart with no scientific evidence, have us taking vaccines that are full of foreign matter, DNA, formaldehyde and they think Low-frequency electromagnetic fields are safe, probably not, thats my comment, Thanks You!

In 2010, we moved from Wichita, KS to Naperville, IL. Our son was 10 and our daughter was 6. We immediately noticed in Naperville that they were much more technologically advanced than Wichita. In Naperville, just about every kid had a cell phone, laptop, and iPad. Within a few years, the school district rolled out high-powered WiFi and distributed Chromebooks to all the students. At the same time, we were remodeling our home. Everything we did on the house was smart -- TVS, thermostats, printers, commuters, etc. We kept adding more and more WiFi powered devices within our home. During this time, our daughter started getting headaches and severe nose bleeds. There were times I had to pick her up from school because of headaches and nose bleeds. My husband was exhausted all the time and would have to lie down on his floor at work throughout the day and take naps at home. I was having trouble focusing and staying on task. Our son was having behavioral changes. We never imagined that all these symptoms could be related. Then, when our daughter was 12/13, shortly after the Smart Meter was installed on our home, she had a Grand Mal Seizure. Follow up tests with a Neurologist could find nothing significant so they told us it was puberty and labeled it Benign Rolandic Epilepsy. I dove into research and learned that EMFs/WiFi could cause all of our symptoms. We brought a Home Biologist into our home and cleaned it up -- turned off the WiFi, wired home with Ethernet, covered the Smart Meter to block the WiFi from coming into home, installed Stetzer Filters. We immediately all felt better. Our daughters headaches and nose bleeds completely ended and she never had another seizure. If she is exposed for weeks without a break from WiFi, she will start to have headaches and nose bleeds again. As long as we keep it off at home and she gets that break every night for her body to recover, she is fine. She is 22 now and has gone 5 years or more without headaches and nose bleeds. It only happens if we have WiFi on 24/7 and she is exposed without a break for weeks. There clearly are affects from EMF exposure. Our family is a clear example!

My Personal Experience and Research into the Harmful Health Effects of Ongoing Exposure to Electromagnetic and RF Radiation In September of 2000, my wife and I set up a joint home office in a small room that we packed with 2 computer towers and monitors, 2 printers, 2 cordless phone bases, and multiple electrical cords associated with all of this technology. While most all of these electronics surrounded my wife’s chair at her computer workstation, my workstation was off to one side giving me somewhat less exposure to the total amount of radiation generated. Spending about 4-5 hours a day at my computer (for at least 5 days a week) for next 15 months, I felt increasingly fatigued and frequently felt a burning pressure in my chest (around my heart). By the end of 2001, I experienced total exhaustion and persistent brain fog, leaving me barely able to function. This forced me to take a several-month break to rest and receive the healthcare I needed to recover and feel somewhat functional again. While I was finally able to return to my computer-related work, I still struggled through periodic bouts of severe fatigue and burning chest pressure for the next 9 years. From late 2000 to late 2010, my wife spent about 2-3 hours a day at her computer workstation. During that time frame, she experienced different recurring health issues, most notably severe stomach and intestinal issues, painful bloating, and depression. Her health steadily declined in 2010 until she finally passed away at the end of the year. Prior to that, the doctors had found a grapefruit-size tumor in her lower abdomen. When I then learned about the possible negative health effects of ongoing exposure to different forms of man-made radiation, I wondered if that might have been a significant cause of our ongoing health issues and what led to my wife’s ultimate demise. Aside from the fact that her computer desk chair was surrounded by various radiating electronic devices, there was a metal desk off to her right side and some rectangular metal legs supporting a plywood work surface behind her. When I later consulted a professional building biologist about our office environment, he pointed out that all of the metal surrounding my wife’s computer desk chair would have conducted and amplified the radiation from the electronic devices surrounding her. He also informed me of several fairly simple steps I could take to greatly reduce my radiation exposure in my home office and throughout my home. These steps included: • Removing the metal desk from my home office • Replacing the metal support legs on the plywood work surface with wooden supports • Replacing the cordless phone base near my desk with a corded phone (to eliminate the RF radiation I had been exposed to with my previous phone • Removing all household cordless phones • Replacing florescent lights with daylight/incandescent lighting • Keeping my nearby printer turned off when it wasn’t needed • Maintaining more distance between myself and any electronic devices when I was working in my office. In the year after I had taken all of these steps, my chronic fatigue melted away, my recurring bouts of burning chest pressure vanished, my brain fog cleared, and I became more vibrant and energetic than I had felt in over a decade. In the years since then, I’ve found that I will still experience a milder version of my previous stress symptoms when I spend a moderate length of time in environments that have a fairly high level of electromagnetic and RF radiation. While the experience I just described may not fit the rigors of scientific research, it does mirror that kind of research in some key ways. For starters, I was in good health before this whole episode began. Since my late wife was a well-educated holistic health practitioner and certified nutritionist, she made sure that we both ate a healthy whole-foods diets, used water filters to purify our drinking and bathing water, used air filters to purify the air in our home, and used personal care products free from toxins and harmful chemicals—eliminating several potential contributors to our health issues. Obviously, the one harmful household environmental factor that we didn’t fully understand or address was our electromagnetic environment. When I finally took extensive steps to slash the levels of EMF/RF radiation in my home and then experienced the disappearance of debilitating health issues that had plagued me for over a decade, I was convinced that ongoing exposure to man-made radiation was the culprit.

I don’t have any scientific evidence to share but can share the short version of my story. Ever since I was exposed to mold in our home and with a combination of traumatic events and stress on my nervous system, I have been hypersensitive to electronics and certain electrical wires. Symptoms include/have included brain fog, metal feeling in teeth, numbness in hands when using iPhone, a static-y feeling in my neck, and overall screen fatigue. It makes productivity difficult to say the least. At my worst, I could feel my husband’s phone ring before anyone even heard it buzz. I can tell when a home has Alexa. I couldn’t sleep in the master bedroom of one home because I’d wake up with night sweats and a headache—turns out the electric wires entered from that corner of the house. I slept in a different room from then on and had no problems. Long car rides are difficult with blue tooth, even when it’s supposedly off. Ear buds make me feel like I am under water. The list goes on but know the effects of EMF/RF/etc are very real and I wouldn’t wish my “superpower” on anyone.
