Neurological symptoms & sleep

I urge HHS to carefully evaluate personal experiences and 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 am currently 73 years old. In 2005, I moved to Kirkland WA and spent time in a local herbal shop and apothecary, learning about organic plants' healing properties and specialized tinctures and teas. I learned about EMF's emitted by microwaves and how food composition and nutritional values are changed and destroyed. I resorted to heating food on stove top in stainless steel pots. In 2019, a friend encouraged me to remove my laptop and printer from my bedroom, explaining "blue light" was affecting my body and brain and keeping me from truly resting as I slept. I turned on my wifi at bedtime and immediately felt an ease in my brain and down my spine! I soon moved the equipment to another room but continued turning it off at night. I questioned why I wanted to have EMF's emitted "all the time" and began turning on wifi only when I needed to use it and off when I was done. In that same year, Kirkland residents made a presentation to our City Council to delay installation of a 5G tower one block from an elementary school. We requested 1-2 years to learn more about effects of 5G waves on human brains, especially young childrens' brains. Our request was denied and the 5G was installed across the street from my home. I had reduced EMF's in my home and was unwilling to live where 5G would be emitted ALL THE TIME! I am a Licensed Massage Therapist and work from a home studio, so massage clients would be directly affected as well. I sold my Kirkland WA home and moved to SC. In 2023, I was experiencing dizziness for over a year and was encouraged by my homeopathic physician to request an analog meter from my electric utility. They no longer have analog meters, but offered to set my digital meter to "On Demand". My meter is "Off" except for 2 minutes each Sunday morning to allow the utility to log my weekly usage. The digital meter is on the outside wall of my bedroom, behind my headboard. I quickly noticed I was sleeping better- longer hours without waking and dreams were deeper and more memorable, indicating I was remaining longer in deep rem sleep state. Then, I turned off my wifi reception and began using an ethernet cable for my laptop and printer. Within one week, my dizziness ceased! I can still utilize wifi if necessary for a special project, but then I return to ethernet. My nervous system, mental clarity and overall ease in my body is much improved with the reduction of EMF's in my home. My clients comment that my house feels quiet, calm and cozy when they come for massage sessions. I feel it's a significant part of the healing process for all of us and am greatly appreciative to those wise people who have guided me.

I’m going to keep this simple because there probably a lot of long highly technical comments here as there should be so I’m going to point to an experiment done by 5 ninth grade girls in Denmark. They wondered if their I struggle to concentrate in class as well as trouble sleeping might have to do with keeping their cell phones at close distance by their bedside while sleeping. The experiment involved exposing 400 cress seeds to cell phone radiation for 12 days. The experiment has gained attention and acclaim among established researchers and scientists throughout Europe.

I became electro hypersensitive after being over exposed to a mobile phone mast while on holiday back in 2017. Since then I have become steadily worse with regards to the symptoms I experience when exposed to anything emitting non ionizing radiation. I become dizzy with headaches, tinnitus, numbness in my face, a heavy weight on my body, extreme fatigue, chest pain and breathlessness. I cannot use a mobile phone for calls and just holding my old basic mobile (with no wifi) can cause shocks and numbness in my hands. Despite my internet router having wifi turned off and in a sliver bloc YFry bag I have to limit my time online. I also place silver bloc material over my laptop. I sleep in a silver bloc canopy which is grounded as my flat is surrounded by masts. One 4G monopole (80 meters from my flat) and two 5G monopole's one 100 meters the other 50 meters. My flat is in a line of sight. I had to get a financial loan to shield my living room with EMF shielding paint so I could use it. Every day I am affected as masts are everywhere. Even visiting friends with wifi or going into a cafe or library is difficult and at times impossible. I fear for my future and worry I will become worse the more this technology is rolled out. My home phone is now very difficult to use since I was forced onto digital voice. I can only use it on speaker in a YFry bag and only for around 10 minutes. I miss chatting with my family and friends. I live in Scotland and I have traveled a great deal in my country but there are few places if any to escape from this. The odd time I have found somewhere with no mobile phone signal or masts in sight my tinnitus has reduced significantly as well as my other symptoms.

In 2006, I moved into an apartment complex in Aurora Colorado, just East of Denver. It was quiet and friendly. Then Smart Meters were installed. Residents began waking up in the middle of the night, fighting and screaming. That woke the dogs up, and it got much worse. The energies of those things are turbulent and hurtful. They are also horrific privacy violators, collecting data neither the companies nor government has any right to without a warrant.

Wireless radiation has caused headaches and other negative health effects in my family. Some i know believe cancers were caused by these towers. There have been schools where many children and teachers have fallen ill after installation of the 5g towers near them. Please stop and take look into the effects of these towers. Frequencies affect us all.

My daughter is very sensitive to EMFs. She cannot hold a cell phone for any length of time without becoming very anxious and escalating into screaming

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 as the mother of a child on the autism spectrum. As a parent, I want to understand the environmental factors that may affect my child’s health, development, and daily well-being so I can make informed decisions. Wireless technology is part of everyday life in our homes, schools, and public spaces. Parents need clear, trustworthy information about exposure and whether children, including those with developmental differences, may have particular vulnerabilities that warrant further study. I am not claiming that wireless radiation caused my child’s autism. I am asking HHS to take parents’ questions seriously and support rigorous research that helps us understand whether these exposures affect children’s sleep, attention, sensory regulation, or other aspects of their health. Families should not be left to sort through conflicting claims without meaningful guidance. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Federal agencies with expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health should carefully evaluate the scientific evidence and listen respectfully to individuals and families who report being affected. I urge HHS to identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and prioritize research that includes children on the autism spectrum. Please translate the findings into clear, practical guidance that parents and schools can use, including what is known, what remains uncertain, and whether measures to reduce exposure are warranted. As a mother, I want answers grounded in sound science and a genuine commitment to protecting children’s health. Thank you for giving families an opportunity to be heard

Every night I wake up at 4-5 like clockwork and cant get back to sleep. Most nights I cant get back to sleep either. I hear a noise like something is running outside all night and I wear ear plugs for my husbands snoring .It blocks that noise, but not the motor runninng in my head, thats why I feel its a frequency. Never quiet at night anymore, I hate it!!!! I hear the noise during the day too, when its quiet.

I am a wife, a mom of 4, an RN, an avid volunteer, and now highly sensitive to EMF's. I have had zero health issues until in February of this year I was in a "Smart Neighborhood" after recovering from the flu and covid. My body felt recovered, but my immune system was still clearing it. I was there to visit a sick relative in the hospital. The first night there I began having chest pressure, a resting heartrate of 120, and tingling in my hands and feet. I went to the ER to see if I was having a heart attack. Once I was cleared at the hospital, the tingling continued to spread up my arms and legs. The tingling turned into burning like I was on fire. I cut my trip short and came home and immediately saw my Dr. After multiple scans, I was asked what kind of EMF's I had been exposed to. That was when we realized that the EMF's from the "Smart Neighborhood" and the hospital exposure combined with my recovering immune system has essentially poisoned my system. Since then, my genetics testing has shown that I have the MTHFR mutation. They say 40-60 percent of the population has this. It makes my system more susceptible to any type of toxin. To this day, 9 months later, I am unable to touch a live cell phone. I am unable to be near a live cell phone. I am hardly able to navigate in a wifi environment. It has crippled my ability to work, go to church, and volunteer as I did. I have spent thousands on supplements, red light therapies, iv infusions, acupuncture, chiropractic, massage therapy, etc. to try to help mitigate this. We have hard wired our home so that I can function here. But I will say that even living on 12 acres, I can pick up on up to 5 different wifi signals in my home from nearby farms. It's almost impossible to get away from it all. I know my situation is extreme sensitivity. But, I am clear that many are suffering milder effects and aren't correlating it to EMF's. Headaches, random nausea, exhaustion, brain fog, etc. Because we live in such a world that you can't hardly get away from it, it is hard to connect without the right Dr. When we try to go away for a trip, I have to drive because a plan is one of the worst. I can't hardly find a place that will allow me to turn off the wifi to stay. Restaurants are an issue. Grocery stores are an issue. Getting gas is an issue. I will continue to fight for my health, and also to educate people on something that I was very unaware of before this happened to me in February. I realize that technology isn't going anywhere, but whether we have the warning signals in our body or not, we are ALL getting damaged from EMF's. There has to be better regulations put into place to protect us. To protect the children. To protect the unborn.

I am writing from the UK. A few years back I spent several hours in the centre of Manchester just after 5G was introduced. That evening, I experienced really bad cramping in my arms and legs. I thought nothing of it at the time, although I don’t suffer with cramp normally. Roll on a couple of so years, and I was visiting Manchester again and remember seeing a new mast on top of a building. Again, I didn’t think anything of it. My husband and I went for lunch at a nearby café, and I suddenly experienced the same cramping as before. Within half an hour I felt dreadful. Very weak with a headache. My husband supported me in walking back to the metro to head back to base. I spent the next 3 days in bed, with a raging headache, feeling and being sick. My husband spent most of the time trying to cool me down with cold, wet cloths. It took a couple of weeks after that for me to feel vaguely OK. I am convinced that I experienced some sort of radiation sickness. We don’t live in Manchester but the town in which we do live now has several masts and I have constant white noise and mild ringing in my ears (we are WIFI-free in our house). I avoid city centres and public transport, concerts etc as much as possible, and feel like life is gradually shrinking as I try to avoid being in areas with high levels of EMFs, something which is nigh on impossible to achieve nowadays..
