Neurological symptoms & sleep

Debilitating symptoms I've been experiencing- escalating since 2015. I am single, unemployed and have no health insurance or assistance of any kind, and for the most part practice a healthy lifestyle. Severely disrupted sleep - including extremely low blood oxygen and low heart rate middle of night sometimes being awakened as soon as I fall asleep- repeatedly, Sometimes it seems like every 20 minutes. Tinnitus Chronic head pressure Headaches Chronic exhaustion Intermittent blurred vision Eye redness, sensation of burning Eye dryness Brain fog/cognitive/executive functioning issues Jaw clenching Numbness tingling, shooting pains limbs Heart palpitations Random muscle twitching, cramping Muscle tension/soreness especially neck shoulders Lethargy, sudden sleepiness during day Breathing, sensation of not deep enough breath Intermittent body heating Chronic exhaustion fatigue, muscle weakness Mood issues anxiety apathy loss of confidence Odd cravings or thoughts popping up from nowhere completely out of character Appetite swings Weight issues There is more, but this is what I can think of at the moment. In searching for root cause of my symptoms after trying numerous modalities I came across the highly cited 1971–1976 Naval Medical Research Institute (NMRI) reports, often referred to in modern EMF literature as the "Glaser Report." And recognized the similarities and biological processes impacted matched. This led me to read other studies more recent including by the NIH. There is tons of information indicating emfs disrupt neurological and cellular function and even damaging DNA which seems to align with the health symptoms I personally have which is causing extreme physical and emotional suffering, in addition to causing financial, professional and relational issues. I attempted to diffuse the emf signals to my home and devices by using Ethernet and turning off wireless but it made no impact. I've also tried unplugging my router overnight. Is EMR the same mechanism through which people have been diagnosed with"Havana syndrome"? Also "targeted individuals" who suspect they are being attacked by Directed Energy Weapons? Are Directed Energy Weapons just EMR being channeled towards someone?

I, Jacqueline Iacovino, would like the Department of Health and Human Services, Staff & Agency to KNOW, "I NEVER HAD ANY HEALTH PROBLEMS" nor did I NEED to go for ANY MEDICAL CARE until TECHNOLOGY started being INSTALLED, I am NOT a SMOKER, I do NOT DRINK ALCOHOL BEVERAGES, was ALWAYS HEALTHY & PHYSICALLY ACTIVE up until again TECHNOLOGY started being installed, such as "CELL PHONE TOWERS, SMART METER'S" etc., EVERYWHERE/ALL AROUND me. These NEGATIVE SYMPTOMS which have HARMED/AFFECTED me, my "OVER ALL HEALTH/WELL BEING, HAPPINESS, FREEDOM" to ENJOY LIFE/DO WHAT I ONCE ENJOYED/COULD DO, started GRADUALLY over TIME, with "HEADACHES, RINGING in my EARS, BURNING SENSATION'S, NAUSEATED, DIZZINESS, MEMORY LOSS, BRAIN FOG, FATIGUE, DIFFICULTY SLEEPING NIGHTLY/DAILY, etc., I FEEL could POSSIBLY/PROBABLY be CAUSED by "EMF EXPOSURE, RADIO FREQUENCIES (RF) RADIATION, WIRELESS RADIATION EXSPOSURE, etc., all which I FEEL are "HARMFUL TECHNOLOGIES" that have caused my/other's too HEALTH ISSUES. Everything that I have stated here HAPPENING to me for MANY YEAR'S that HAS/STILL IS EFFECTING my HUMAN HEALTH, that HAS/STILL IS EFFECTING animals/nature as well, I FEEL "REQUIRES MUCH MORE NEEDED RESEARCH, INVESTIGATION'S, SOLUTION'S" which WILL than HOPEFULLY STOP the HARM being done to "MYSELF, HUMANITY, OTHER'S & the PLANET EARTH" as well.

I am highly sensitive to emf radiation...to the point that I am beridden with brain fog most of the time: the radiation poisoning included low-abd-high frequency tinnitus. Everyone concurs that emf radiation is deadly: I would move but the emf-free zoned a few abd far between. Shame on the government for allowing the slow death of it's citizenry. There will be accountability....

Hi. I suffer from Electro Hypersensitivity, which has limited my life drastically, caused the end of my marriage, and caused me 3-4 decades of illnesses no one had any diagnosis for. I now know what it is caused by. After seeing ear specialists, due to the unrelenting tinnitus, and neurologist for the malignant insomnia and migraines, and no one could find anything wrong with me. I had to begin to look out of the box for other explanations. I found this is more common than ai had any idea, and millions like me are suffering from this sensitivity and are simply canaries in the coal mine, showing how harmful this out of control ubiquitous RFR is. I live in a shielded home and use only wired communications. It took me over 10 yrs to learn how to remediate my environment to get as well as I seem to be able to get. I have lost my freedom to travel or even go to visit a friend at their home. I fear needing to go into a hospital with WIFI, as it makes me instantly very sick. I feel there needs to be a total new perspective on the well know adverse health effects of Manmade Radiofrequency Radiation, and a complete revamping of our safty standards. Our old standards set in 1096 are BEYOND outdate and totally wrong. The declassified Naval Military Research documents easily available on the internet, from the 50's and again in the 1970's clearly show evidence of damage to every system of our bodies from this radiofrequency radiation or RFR. Also the study done a few years ago by the National Toxicology Institute shows clear evidence of RFR causing cancer in rats. There are thousands of studies showing this is harmful, and most other first world countries have much more rigid standards. The toxic nature of these emissions and devices needs to be told to the population so they can make informed decision about wiring their homes and using wired communications, if we want to see cancer and a host of thousands of other illness on the rise start to decline. We also need to make safe hospital and doctors offices ASAP so those of us who already are suffering this dis -ease, have a safe place to go for health care. We urgently need to listen to the research that shows carcinogenicity and cellular damage, and start to regulate and educate about this horrific global poisoning, proliferating at lightening speed out of control and causing skyrocketing suffering, diseases, and deaths. If our doctors and our public are kept from this info, our regulatory agencies are essentially killing our population. There are thousands of valid studies showing harm from RFR. http:bioinitiative.org , https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/research/topics/cellphones , "Zapped" By Ann Gittelman (book) and many more. Please work to change legistation that protects populations from installations of cell towers near schools and hospitals, and update safety regulations to protect and educate folks on not carrying these devices on one's body and choosing wired communications being healthier than wireless. It is not until our governments stand up for us and protect us from this that most of the population will listen sadly. We need this as cancer and all kinds of neurological disorders ect are on the rise due to this ubiquitous toxin escalating daily our of control in our world.

I am submitting this as a caregiver to my partner with severe EMF hypersensitivity and as someone with a milder form myself. After becoming aware/knowledgeable of the existence of this illness I noticed EMF reactions I had experienced myself I had previously ignored/dismissed. I have always felt burning or pain in my legs when having my laptop on my lap or pain in my hand with my mobile phone which if I ignore it, travels up my arm until my whole arm is burning. I always drove old cars with low electrics/radiofrequency with no issues but started feeling the burning in my hands touching the steering wheel in my newer model but only recognized this in retrospect. These issues started before I was even aware of EMFs. In September 2020, my partner became extremely ill and bedbound from one day to the next. He was very fit and healthy, lifting weights and walking 20km every day and eating healthy and one day collapsed after a flu like illness and described feeling a flash/snap in his brain. From then on he started having a myriad of symptoms which haven't eased, only changed at times for the last 6 years with not a single moment in those 6 years without at least 10 debilitating symptoms at once. Initially he was bedbound for weeks and couldn't tolerate any daylight or function at all. He was dismissed medically by multiple doctors despite ending up hospital several times and told his bloods were normal and they didn't know what was wrong with him. Since then we have been on a journey to discover the origin of his illness and seen multiple specialists and spent hundreds of hours of research and his condition has increased in intensity. At the time he was living in a house riddled with toxic moulds (proven by an ERMI later) and started to develop reactivity to many things including chemicals,smells,foods,cosmetics,synthetic materials and EMFs. The intensity of these reactions continued to increase until we became more aware of the source of the different reactions and were able to measure them and isolate what triggers caused which reaction. We have done measurements with EMF meters in many locations and I can 100% say my partner is able to feel with accuracy the level of EMFs by the symptoms he experiences. He reacts to levels FAR below the international safety guidelines.I know that there has been discussion that people react to the trigger as a trauma response and by calming the nervous system or using brain retraining they will not react and I can tell you that this is categorically not true. It may work for some but not my partner at all. He reacts to an exposure before the awareness he is being exposed eg. we go to nature spots far away from EMFs to ease his symptoms.He will tell me he is feeling awful and the next minute someone will walk around the corner with a phone. The has happened over and over. I am a counsellor and work with many clients with trauma and support brain retraining and I can say with confidence this is NOT a trauma response. My partner reacts to all kinds of EMF exposures differently and can often tell if it is radio frequency, electric or magnetic. The list of symptoms he experiences would cover an entire A4 sheet of paper so I will not list them all but in terms of EMFs specifically, he experiences headaches, full body pains, seizures (convulsing and unresponsive for up to half an hour), brain fog, memory issues, tinnitus, vertigo, burning sensations or skin rashes, insomnia, night sweats, nightmares, constant chronic fatigue, heart palpitations/heart racing, heaviness/stiffness, gut issues, mood swings amongst others. We have moved at least 5 times in the last 6 years and are moving again and have spent thousands on mitigation attempts which do help to a certain extent but finding a safe house is becoming impossible. We never use WIFI, rarely use a mobile phone and switch it off when not in use, only have one circuit on for several sockets but have all other circuit switches off at the breaker at all times and have protective shielding equipment but the EMF levels are still not safe and my partner is still deathly sick. He has no medical support as all doctors have washed their hands of him, no accommodations and no official diagnosis. We need extensive research without any funding conflicts carried out in a scientifically valid way. We need recognition of this condition medically and training so people are not left to die and live in primitive conditions, we need accommodations in rental clauses and work accommodations recognized and we need to create safe low EMF zones and protect these to create safe communities. The data is flawed and doesn't measure cumulative exposure to the levels we are experiencing now. Please take this seriously. People are dying whilst being ridiculed, neglected and forgotten and they do not have a voice as they cannot access the channels to have a voice (all these channels are online). I wrote this on behalf of my partner as he could not do this.

. & 2. I am responding as: an individual 3a. Type of wireless or RF/EMF sources involved (e.g., mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters…)Wireless phones, cell towers, micro-broadcasters, electric cars, some wifi routers, 3b. Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years):Sometimes stabbing pain in previously injured ( 40 years ago) head trauma when i am in a beam from a tower AKA in a car in traffic/ at a red light, and the symptoms disappear within minutes after the car moves on...Back around 2012 it started and I was treated in Emergency for seizures, and the drug made me really sick and I developed severe IBS.... A second neurologist examined me while under an episode and diagnosed me with a "full body migraine" and prescribed drugs... I have avoided symptoms by dietary and supplement additions, but overexposure ( too ling in certain parts of the city or airplane travel ) time wise , .... it's not linear - seems to be fluid-factors of 1- Strength of signal, 2- Distance from the source 3- Duration of exposure.... one of these three factors primarily may give a different response than another factor, but I have not been able to figure that out. 3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced:The symptoms change each time but consistently from the following. : Dizzy, "zoned out" like a drug sometimes slurred speech or inability to move, sometimes falling over throwing up in the ditch, inability to sleep, depressive emotions, blurry eyesight, physical neural pain in the old injury site, rarely but sometimes actual headaches.. In a hotel I "wake up like a shot" at 3:00-4:00 AM with WIFI router on and cannot sleep after. Usually only one or two symptoms at a time ranging from irritating to disabling, and comes in waves. 3d. Time from first exposure to first appearance of adverse health effects; and did a change in exposure coincide with the onset of adverse effects:One hour to 4 days- and yes- see above for the three factors that totally coincide; Strength of signal and duration of exposure lead to severe symptoms. 3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis?see above... no doctor that I have seen believes me , but recently I told an allergist receptionist on the phone that I would need a phone-appointment as I could not come to the City, and the receptionist said" No problem at all , a lot of our clients have that issue, let me set up a phone time"..... 3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects?I am 100% free from symptoms when in areas with no WIFI and, Magnesium supplements, BLUSHIELD devices help against home wifi signals, methylene blue blue in emergencies is magic-and homeopathy for EMF seems to help as well although I am skeptical....but it helps so I keep using it... these are all things that help after overexposure. 3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information:I have been self diagnosing and collecting data and receently collating with AI I can share that data if needed - how do i do that Additional Details you would like to share about your experiences of adverse health effects you believe to be associated with exposure to wireless radiation or EMF's:Help me please- B1a. Sources you experience as causing you Adverse Effects:Cell phone and multiple cell phones ( bus, concert , airplane), WIFI router, "Small Cell " radiators on telephone poles, Cell towers B1b. Sources you can sense, but don't seem to harm you:ELF waves I cannot sense and don't seem to harm me that I can see, but the dtat seems to say that there are effects B1c. Sources you can use without sensing or being harmed:Cell phone I use briefly- then turn back on airplane mode- short exposure seems OK. B1d. Sources that seem to provide benefit (i.e., electrotherapy):see above B2a. Health conditions you think may contribute to your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless:see above B2b. Health conditions you don't necessarily associate with your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless, but might be relevant:n/a B3a. That you recommend, as they helped you tolerate or recover from EMF exposure:see above B3b. That you recommend, but you’re not positive that they help:Acupuncture, "brain fire" herbal tea, also bio energetic allergy treatments seemed to make me more resilient, silver -lined blankets and hats seem to reduce some of the effects ( ie in a ferry line up in a beam , the blanket shows a large reduction in the RF , B3e. Treatments that made your sensitivity worse:55-64 B4. What is your age range?55-64 B5. What year did you become aware of your sensitivity to wireless radiation or electromagnetic fields?2012 but symptoms started around 2002 B6. What country, state, province, or major city were you living in when you first noticed your sensitivity to wireless or electromagnetic fields?British Columbia Canada

On behalf of the EFEIA Institute (Miami, Florida), I submit our organization's attached public comment, national program proposal and letters in response to HHS Request for Information, Docket No. HHS-OASH-2026-0397. This comment represents the perspective of a research entity. The attachments are a proposal prepared by EFEIA in October 2026, my request letter, made together with Dr. Robert Marshall Leal Lue, PhD in clinical psychology, Dr. Pilar Muñoz-Calero and other specialists, and letters from Dr. Pilar Muñoz-Calero, MD, President of Fundación Alborada (Madrid), and Dr. Luis M. Valdés, physician and audiologist. Disclosure: the undersigned is also founder and CTO of NOXTAK Corporation, which develops electromagnetic hygiene products; the 2014-2018 patient cohort described in the proposal evaluated a NOXTAK product among concurrent interventions. The proposal evaluates no product. WHO recognizes the symptoms of electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS, IEI-EMF) as real and potentially disabling, and systematic reviews of blind provocation studies have found no robust evidence that exposure triggers them. We accept that record. Those studies, however, tested a narrower question than the conclusion often drawn from them: most measured conscious detection of a field, or symptoms reported during or soon after short laboratory exposures. A systematic review of 28 provocation studies found selection bias in 82% of them and, in 57%, exposure and assessment times that were not matched to each participant's reported symptom latency. In our clinical experience, from a four-year cohort of 357 patients and more than 1,500 cases reviewed through EFEIA's consultant network, EHS presents as a sensitized and partly conditioned stress response. Short blinded tests with perception as the endpoint cannot separate the environmental trigger, the physiological sensitization and the learned response, and a reaction to an inactive cue does not show that the original trigger was inert. Tinnitus, reported by 50.7% of EHS respondents against 17.5% of controls in a German case-control study, is not yet a defined outcome in this research. We urge HHS to convene an independent, publicly funded review of the criteria used to design and interpret EHS studies, and to support a 24-month program that publishes revised criteria, including stratification of participants by conditioned response and physiological sensitization, personalized and prolonged exposures, delayed-response windows, characterized sham conditions and objective physiological endpoints; a blinded multi-site replication of the biomarkers reported to date; tinnitus and sound intolerance as defined outcomes; a clinical pathway of differential assessment before attribution, with professional training; a consented registry with measured exposure; and proportionate precaution in hospitals, schools and care settings. OASH would convene the program; NIEHS would lead exposure assessment and biomarker replication, NIDCD the tinnitus outcome set, CDC case definition, registry methods and clinical guidance with NIEHS, and FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health exposure systems and dosimetry for provocation studies. This comment responds to questions 4(h) to 4(j), 4(l), 4(m), 5(o), 10(a), 10(d) to 10(f), 11(f), 11(g), 16, 17(a) to 17(c) and 18. The attachments are: - Additional 5, National Program: National Program for the Review of Research Criteria in Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity: A proposal to revise how studies of electromagnetic hypersensitivity are designed and interpreted, with objective endpoints, a clinical pathway and tinnitus as a defined outcome (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.23545803). - Request letter from J. Joaquín Machado, 21 October 2026. - Letter from Dr. Pilar Muñoz-Calero, MD, President, Fundación Alborada, 8 October 2026. - Letter from Dr. Luis M. Valdés on electromagnetic hypersensitivity and the amplification of tinnitus, 21 October 2026. Please accept and consider all attached documents, the Additional 5 proposal and the three letters, as part of the public record. Respectfully, J. Joaquín Machado EMR Researcher and Director of the EFEIA Institute

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 my perspective as a mother grandmother and a person that works with children. PERSONALIZE YOUR COMMENT HERE: if using your phone while on WiFi gives you numb or even tingly or warm feeling on your hands and fingers there is definitely some effect from the radiation coming from your phone. As a whole my family sleeps better when we turn off the WiFi. I work with children, these children carry iPads throughout the day. The building has to have WiFi signal all throughout to be able to use the WiFi , computers and anything else that makes the devices work. Plus we have WiFi towers near our building and in the surrounding neighborhoods. I’d say there’s about 4 towers within a small radius. Children are confined indoors with all that radiation and act very out of control. Almost like something does not allow anyone in the building to focus and makes people anxious. That coupled with chem trails when you exit the building, where you can’t get a break. Constantly being zapped like a bug inside a building and sprayed like a bug while you’re outside. I personally have moments where I feel like I’m out of it or spaced out unable to focus while outdoors. And inside a building where there is tons of LED lights and WiFi makes vision blurry and at times hard to focus on screens. Plus WiFi to top that off, I think it’s a recipe to make anyone feel loopy. Buildings occupied by children or even adults should be monitored and checked for EMF signal toxification, excessive LED lights that affect your sight and possibly cause anxiety. Anyone messing with Gods creation should be healed accountable. It should be criminal to spray our skies, expose us to so much EMF or radiation, and all these LED lights. 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.
