Describes extensive family symptoms after moving near towers and using indoor Wi-Fi, mitigation attempts …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am submitting this comment as a private citizen and parent documenting our family’s multi-year experiences with symptoms that temporally correlate with increased exposure to radiofrequency (RF) radiation and electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from mobile devices, home hotspots (MiFi), Wi-Fi networks, surveillance cameras, and proximity to cellular infrastructure. These observations are offered to assist HHS in evaluating real-world health experiences associated with RF/EMF exposure, particularly among families and potentially vulnerable individuals. Our family previously lived for three years in Astoria, Oregon, without nearby cell towers and without a continuous home hotspot. During that period we experienced none of the symptoms described below and no longer required pain-management care. We also lived earlier at Mile 10 of Eagle River Road in Alaska, again without close cellular infrastructure, and similarly reported nearly none of the same issues. In August 2024 we moved into an apartment in Anchorage, Alaska, located approximately three blocks from two cell towers (one AT&T and one believed to be Verizon) at 7th Avenue and Karluk Street. Concurrently, our household has used mobile devices, an iPad, and a home MiFi hotspot. The apartment building also maintains seven surveillance cameras connected to continuous basement Wi-Fi whose signals reach our unit day and night. Since relocating, multiple family members have developed new or markedly worsened symptoms that improve under specific exposure-reduction conditions and worsen under higher-exposure conditions. All relevant medical evaluations (bloodwork, emergency-room assessments) have returned normal results, including statements that my cardiac findings appear among the healthiest the treating physicians have seen. Observed Symptoms and Correlations * Sleep disruption and nightmares: Frequent awakenings (sometimes several times per night) occur if phones are not placed in airplane mode. Nightmares intensify without a silver-infused beanie and appear more pronounced once permanent winter snow cover is present. Silver-infused bed sheets and a grounding mat with ground-plug connection have provided partial relief. * Headaches: My wife experiences significant headaches that began after the move and proximity to the towers. * Blood-pressure elevation and chest pain: Both my wife and I experience elevated blood pressure and chest pain, especially in later winter months, or when the home hotspot lacks aluminum-foil shielding properly directed away from the core living area. Emergency evaluations yield normal cardiac bloodwork. * Cognitive and mood effects in a child: After extended iPad use, our son exhibits mood swings, severe forgetfulness of simple information, confusion, and frustration. A silver-infused beanie reduces these symptoms when worn. * Pain, body aches, and brain fog: These symptoms led both adults to resume care with a pain-management physician after years without such treatment. Symptoms lessen when the building’s basement Wi-Fi and cameras are offline. * Menstrual irregularities: My wife, in perimenopause, experiences cycles that can last a full month; laboratory bloodwork remains normal. * Seasonal and environmental modifiers: Symptoms intensify with continuous snow cover and diminish under reduced RF exposure (airplane mode, shielding, offline Wi-Fi). We have implemented multiple mitigation and health-support measures: silver-infused beanies and bed sheets, aluminum-foil shielding of the hotspot, a grounding mat, dietary avoidance of artificial sweeteners, gelatins, and processed beef/pork, regular use of ZeroWater filters, upgraded bath and shower filters designed to remove heavy metals, chlorine, chemicals, and fluoride, and supplements (silica, sea moss, oregano oil, etc.) intended to support heavy-metal clearance. Despite these steps, the listed symptoms persist in correlation with RF/EMF sources. Symptoms were largely absent in residences without nearby cell towers and continuous high-level indoor wireless sources. Symptoms appeared or intensified after moving within three blocks of two cell towers and into a building with continuous basement Wi-Fi-linked cameras. Temporary reductions in exposure (airplane mode, shielding, offline Wi-Fi) produce measurable short-term improvement in sleep, pain, blood pressure, and cognitive clarity. Medical work-ups consistently return normal laboratory and cardiac findings, leaving the temporal and exposure-linked patterns unexplained by conventional diagnostic results. I request that HHS consider these documented family observations - alongside clinical reports from other citizens and healthcare providers - when assessing the state of the evidence on RF/EMF health effects, potential research gaps and the adequacy of current exposure guidelines for real-world, multi-source environments. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

Describes symptoms attributed to Wi-Fi and phones, loss of wired service and digital exclusion, and asks …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
As a person affected by Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. 1. In order to maintain internet access after moving home in 2011 we were obliged to exchange our old wired modem for the newer style « livebox ». Being concerned about RF & WIFI radiation we always used ethernet cable to connect the pc to the new modem in order to avoid using WIFI. At around the same time we also changed to a newer pc (with WIFI capability) and continued to use ethernet cable to connect it to the « livebox ». Soon after arriving at the new home I began to experience unprovoked episodes of fearfulness. These episodes occurred at all times of the day and night. By chance we discovered that even though we used ethernet cable for internet access the « livebox » default setting was emitting WIFI. Having disabled the « livebox » WIFI we hoped that the episodes of fearfulness would end. However this was not the case. Researching further we discovered that the new pc’s default setting was also enabling WIFI. Having also disabled the pc WIFI the unpleasant episodes of fearfulness ended. 2. Having lost our fixed telephone due to storm damage in 2023 we bought a mobile telephone to replace it. This phone causes a warm tingling sensation in the skin, so is kept in a far corner of the house – rendering it useless for receiving calls since the telephone system permits insufficient time for us to access it before it cuts to voicemail. Now that daily life is ruled by smartphone access to almost everything we find ourselves excluded. 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 not only by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health. The experiences of individuals and families who report being affected have been thus far ignored and belittled. These experiences must be considered alongside the scientific evidence. I urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health. Thank you for providing individuals, families, health care providers, independent researchers, with an opportunity to finally be heard on this critical public health issue.

Describes a father’s cognitive changes and seizures after an MRI, with unresolved questions about their c…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Back in the summer of 2021, my 75 yr old father was having headaches. The VA scheduled him for an MRI in Dec 2021. We are still not sure what happened to him during the MRI and they never admitted anything happened. But when my father came out of the MRI he was suddenly childlike. It started to slowly get worse. On 1/26/2022 my father had a major seizure and was taken to the hospital by ambulance. He was throwing up and completely out of it. The hospital notes say he had encephalitis in the front of his brain--right where the headaches had been and the MRI scanned. Over the course of a year and a half, he had 2 more seizures. They could never understand why and ruled out epilepsy. He would go to the hospital get some steroids and the swelling would go down and he would seem more normal. Then the swelling would come back, his behavior would worsen and he would have a seizure. They told us his childlike behavior was signs of dementia and disregarded our questions about how he completely changed after the MRI. Finally about 2023, he started getting better and now except for some rare memory loss, he is completely better. He has no recollection of that time.

Reports family nosebleeds, cognitive symptoms and rashes near power lines and towers.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
This is great I have been wanting to say something for years. After moving in with my now husband about 9 years ago things started getting weird. He lives by the power lines and 3 huge towers. The nosebleeds were significantly high with my twins. But it wasn't until 5g was out that I noticed a huge change. Mental fog. Teeth decay. Weird spots on our skin. Rashes that match with radiation poisoning. Symptoms that mask as other things. "Allergies" etc.

Reports dizziness and other symptoms near phones and towers, major work and travel restrictions, and requ…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hi. I am a mom of two. In August of 2022 I was driving about a mile from our home. I noticed two huge new towers that went up near a water treatment plant. I pulled over in a parking lot to use my new Apple phone. The minute I started using it I felt electrocuted. I got so dizzy I drove myself to the hospital. They found nothing wrong. Since then, I had to quit my job working for a fortune 60 tech company. I struggle going into all stores, in our neighborhood, using my laptop, my phone, hotels, flying, etc… I feel best in a brick/concrete building or when I’m in the middle of no where. I worked for a tech company for almost 39 years from home with no problem. Obliviously something has changed in the state of Maryland and across the country that needs investigation to resolution.

Describes sleep-related hallucinations and sounds possibly attributed to wireless exposure and asks about…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I occasionally experience hypnagogic and hypopompic hallucinations. This is relatively recent in my life and I attribute it to the ever increasing wireless exposures, as all the cell phone towers going up and as optic cables get laid and as wifi is increasingly everywhere. My home router is 6G capable. These hallucinations occur during the period of wakefulness and sleep. I get jolted awake in the exact moments of falling asleep by a loud metallic grinding noise that is not external but generates from inside my own self. And I occasionally get awoken by pleasant beeping when coming out of sleeping in the morning that is also not external but generates from my own srlf and as soon as I am awake the sounds in both instances stop. There is no other explanation, and I think it is EMF related, and I dont know if I am right or wrong. On a side note, I believe EMFs/wireless also have affects on insects particularly honeybees. Insects are our pollinators for the worlds food supply. Do not neglect them in your investigations. Thank you for the opportunity to leave a comment.

Alleges nonconsensual experimentation, cognitive impairment and electric shocks, with inability to work.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I'm a non consent experimentee for at least since 2010. Since at least moving to my current apartment and long before covretly. They torture me with non stop hynotic zombie brainfog like cognitive lopping. they send electric shocks into my body via CNS manipulation plus SO MUCH MORE. Absolute non stop torture. Can't work, can't even remain sane. It's hard just to live at a base level. attached is a video compilation of the body manipulation torture. Nevermind it won't accept videos. I have the videos if you need them.
