Reports EHS beginning after Wi-Fi installation, later severe symptoms near meters and airport emissions, …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am a patient who lives with electro-hypersensitivity (EHS). This is my journey. Around 2007, my husband and I got WiFi. Within the week, I lost my ability to digest most foods: sugar, all fruits, some vegetables, dairy, etc. I lived on a very small range of foods (e.g., meat, eggs, rice, fish, oatmeal, lettuce). Every 6 months, I had new symptoms. They included burning sensations on my face (accompanied by red sunburn even when I didn't get exposed to the sun), aches and pains, brain fog, muscle twitches, heart palpitations, IBS, insomnia, etc. My doctor tried to diagnose me, but he could not. I didn't have lupus (despite a lupus rash), I didn't have fibromyalgia (despite the fact I could no longer walk or bike), etc. This went on for about eight years. In 2014, smart meters were installed in my neighborhood. A meter was put right outside my bedroom window. I soon developed tinnitus. The ringing in my ears was so loud I could not sleep. In 2015, my world collapsed. I could feel text messages sent by people who had cell phones near me, I could feel airplanes approaching the small airport near my home before I could hear them, I could feel Wi-Fi. It was pure pain. It felt like my head was in a vise. My heart would lose its rhythm. I could not concentrate. I wanted to die. I had to quit my job and live in a house without electricity. (My husband and I would turn it on for a few hours each day to keep the food from spoiling and to wash the clothes, and I would go outside.) My doctor refused to treat me. He said that if he diagnosed me with EHS, he would lose his job because the condition is not recognized by the AMA. I found an alternative doctor who would treat me. He told me I had to move away from the airport. My husband and I rented a home, and we had a building inspector come out and take measurements. He helped us lower the dirty electricity in the house. He told me to sleep with the power turned off in my bedroom. Doing both allowed me to live in a house with the electricity on. Once I was away from the smart meter and the radio traffic from the airport, I built up tolerance to being on my computer again using ethernet. IT WAS TORTURE. There was no help, no disability, no insurance, no money. I could not work. After six months, I could return to work, but being around cell phones made me sick. My face would flush, I would feel weak, I would get migraine-type headaches, and my muscles would twitch like I had Huntington's. I lasted less than a year before I quit my job and retreated to my rented house. I received treatment from two alternative doctors, neither of whom could heal my condition. They did, however, provide medicines that help manage symptoms. I am still at home. I can now walk around the neighborhood again. However, I cannot be in most public places because being around cell phones and WiFi makes me feel weak and brain-foggy, like I am recovering from the flu. I am still unable to hold a real job. I can be on my computer, provided I use ethernet. I can be on Zoom for about 90 minutes before I develop a headache. We would all be better off if we had a better scientific understanding of how electromagnetic frequencies affect the human being and used that information to inform public policy. Other countries are studying this matter. Ours should too. I would not wish my condition on my worst enemy.

Proposes that individual nervous-system resonance could explain differential susceptibility and demyelina…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
If the mammalian nervous system responds to exposure to resonant field it is probable resonant field has environmental consequences. It is possible environmental exposure to near resonant RF radiation is a causal factor in demyelination disease, either through direct or responsive effect. In direct effect small sustained induced voltages would cause scaled electrolytic reduction of myelin; while a possible responsive effect is an induced neurochemical response to the presence of chemical species resulting from small scale electrolytic reduction of myelin. This response frequency may be near individually specific. If so, this would explain why only a small number of people within a large population group would be affected by identical exposure to specific frequencies. Quote "---the human body absorbs RF energy more effectively at a frequency where body length is about .4 the wave length and the body's long axis is aligned with the incoming electric-field polarization. This condition is known as "whole-body resonance." Further - "for an average male adult weighing about 70 kilograms and about 1.75 meters tall, the maximum RF energy uptake would be at about 60 MHz, close to TV channel 2, and not far removed from the 6- meter band." (2) End quote. The above gives the approximate values for "whole body" resonant frequencies, which could be interpreted to mean a cylindrical object with some conductive value. However, the nervous system (or components thereof) could be viewed as a much less massive subsystem of significantly different effective length and with a much higher Q value due to both structure and chemical composition. The "Q Value" being defined as the sharpness or reactivity of the system to field at or near specific resonant frequency. Although field density is most commonly sited as the measurement of environmental exposure, frequency has a much greater impact on resonant capable systems. Again, a long thin conductor will react like a high inductance RLC circuit when exposed to near resonant frequency. In computing values for a RLC circuit where the inductance is given as .1 Henry and solving for the capacitance to tune the circuit to an effective length of 68 inches; the tremendous effect frequency has on the induced power becomes clearly evident. First computing induced power at resonance and then changing the frequency (wave length as E/f) of the exposing field by a value corresponding to just .001 inch, the induced power changes by over 8 fold. At 173 MHz this corresponds to a difference of about 2500 HZ. This is a relatively small difference in frequency, or length of the resonator, for such a significant change in induced power. It is this fundamental and universal effect, electrical resonance, that could explain why only a small number of people, out of a large population group, would be affected when exposed to the same electromagnetic environment. Direct VS In-direct Cause. This topic is best addressed through a series of questions. Is it possible to electrolyze myelin, if so would the resulting reaction species trigger an autoimmune response? How does the mammalian nervous system respond to exposure to near resonant field? Does the response include a “boost” in neural signal potential? How do the results of high field/short term exposure compare to low field/long term exposure? The spinal cord alone presents a thin continuously conductive material. An example of this begins at the Foramen Magnum (extending from the brain stem) and continues down through the Vertebral Canal to the tapering point of the Conus Medullaris. This component is further lengthened by the Brain Stem at one end and Cauda Equina at the other. It can be inferred that the physical structure of the signal path remains continuously connected and insulated to the smallest terminal points. I propose that certain components of the human nervous system, alone and/or in continuously connected combination, will respond to near resonant field, that the frequency of resonant response will be a function of the length of electrical continuity and that very possibly, for some components, singularly or in combination, will correspond to a bandwidth commonly found in the environment. I suggest the length and inductance of the human nervous system is possibly individual specific and can be used much like a fingerprint. Further, that the “Q Value" of the nervous system, combined with the slight resonant print differences between individuals, would explain the low occurrence of detrimental effect when large population groups are exposed to the same electromagnetic environment. 1.

Reports a son’s pain, confusion and other symptoms near electrical towers and radios, with prior medical …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
When my son gets near any electrical towers, it not only affects his physical health but his mental health as well. I have seen him double over in pain ... for years. never knowing what causes it. Have taken him to doctors and they could never find anything. So they would say he is having convulsions. He hears voices and has so much confusion. We can t even listen to radio any more without even that affecting him.

Reports headaches resolving after moving away from towers while tinnitus persisted and proposes researchi…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I lived on the center of the hypotenuse of an isosceles triangle of cell towers for approximately four years. During this time, I experienced daily headaches and tinnitus. Since moving in 10/24, the headaches have stopped and the tinnitus has persisted. Our bodies have not evolved sufficiently to function properly with constant signal bombardment. Exploring methods to mitigate the signals seems a fruitful path to pursue. A device that neutralizes the signals to our bodies without interfering with transmission would be valuable.

A pacemaker user reports concerns about device interference, symptoms associated with computers and smart…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am an individual consumer. I have had a pacemaker since June of 2020. I was told by cardiologist at the hospital to not have a cell phone on the side of my body with the pacemaker as it will affect my pacemaker. After my internet carrier changed to fiber optics, I found out from the company that makes my pacemaker monitor that 5G will destroy it. If that happened, I wouldn’t know if my pacemaker was working correctly and I would die. Because of this I had to get rid of my home phone and only use my cell phone. Presently, my cell phone carrier still has 4G. When it goes to 5G, I won’t be able to have a cell phone. I am extremely affected by my internet on my computer and the smart meter at my home. I become very agitated and filled with anxiety when on my computer. Since they installed the smart meter at my home a few years ago, my health began deteriorating. I am a copyeditor for authors, so staying off the computer would not allow me to continue my occupation. I need the money to even pay my lot rent as well as my other bills. Please lower the current 5G to 4G or less for the benefit of my physical and mental health and that of everyone else exposed to these frequencies. I researched SAR absorption rates before purchasing my last cell phone. I believe most people are aware of the danger of these frequencies, however they have no ability to affect a change. Their speaking up about this to their politicians has not made any difference. 10. I don't know. 11. Should exposure assessment or risk evaluation differ for sensitive populations such as those noted below? No, I believe that each of the following populations should be protected as they are all vulnerable to adverse health effects or even death because of these frequencies. 12, 13, 14. I don't know. 15 All of these things should be taken into account for the safety of everyone. 16 I don't know. 17 This is something Mr. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. needs to investigate. He needs to be the one to write the guideless on the roles for all the federal health agencies listed. 18 The average person reading this will be overwhelmed and not respond. It would take an entire law firm working in concert to get this information within six months to one year.

Asks about weaponization and hacking of infrastructure, cumulative neurological effects and ecological im…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Could these systems (5G towers, flock cameras, etc ) potentially be used as weapons or be hacked into by adversaries? These systems are being placed very close to schools. As well as in neighborhoods. It is highly concerning. More importantly, what is the over time accumulated effect on the nervous systems of humans exposed? Brian fog? Fatigue? Neurological disorder exacerbations? Psychological harm? What are these devices providing to the population of taxpaying, citizens and their offspring ? Is that service worth the potential health effects? We're we not productive enough of a society before 5G? In addition to human health, where does the natural environment that sustains us come into play, how are we making sure that the wildlife -flora and fauna are not being negatively affected?

Opposes widespread deployment without safety testing and raises concerns about symptoms, lost wages and s…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
If these systems have not been tested to prove the public’s health is not at risk they should not be used so widespread. If these technologies are not safe they are basically weapons. People lose work and lose wages from headaches and some are very sensitive to EMF. Who is going to pay for these injured people’s living expenses? A few can I get Rich at the risk of millions. You are comply we demand and surgery demand safe technologies in our communities and planet. We have about WIFi. I think “rolling out” new tech is pointless unless you’re getting rich Doing it. We do not want it. We do not need it. Thankyou.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I've lived here 20 years. I live right beside a sheriff department. When I moved here it was 4G. It is now 6G. I have increased headaches and extreme brain fog and lethargy with each increase. In 2 months I'm moving. I can't take this any longer. This might seem trivial to you but it's just exhausting. I even take my truck and go to different parking lots and sleep throughout the area to get away from living directly beside a cell tower. I have put Bodywell EMF chips on my phone which has helped, believe it or not. But I'm done with living here. I'm actually moving out of state.

A former computer teacher reports recurrent respiratory illness and later tinnitus, describes improvement…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I feel it and I know that the radiation affects my health. For over 20 years I was a computer teacher and I battled respiratory infections 2 to 3 times a year. I was prescribed antibiotics, antihistamines, steroids, cough meds, an inhaler, and I used a netti pot. When I retired 2015, I did not get sick for 4 years. During those years I developed tinnitus. I am able to control the respiratory issues by using supplements and other remedies. I have been relieved from the tinnitus whenever I can get away from the 5G and wifi. This past year has been worse than previous years. Our area has strong radiation now as my phone often shows 5G+ and we don't need Wifi extender in our house. I pray you can do something to help!
