Neurological symptoms & sleep

I live in an apt building 3 yrs first 2 were fine then this last yr after manager said to me there putting sumthing for phones on building it really didnt register untill like a week or 2 later when the ringing noise started and slowly after awhile my sleep started being very poor and brainfog ,headaches, lack of concentration ,dizzyness, poor memory and weird pulsing sensations on my body more pronounced at bedtime and after very little sleep in morning wakin me up.i was under the impression that this stuff was supposed to be certain distance away from residential areas not on a building with 65 people in it also heard other people talking about ringing noise etc after i brought up what i was goin through i live in pottsville Pennsylvania at 101 mahantogo st if i couldve moved i would have a yr ago we need help here

I have experienced very adverse health impacts from emfs, and wireless radiation, including from cell phones, routers, and smart meters. These effects have included sharp head pains (most common) and also, when the exposure was more intense, pounding heart and heart pains. Twice i have been forced to move out of my apartment or cottage due to unbearable levels of pain. As a result, it has made finding a safe to live extremely, extremely difficult. This inspired me to write numerous articles, which discussed the documented health impacts of emfs. My articles on this topic have appeared in several sites online, including OpEdNews,Dissident Voice, and Global Research. I am putting the link to one of the most recent articles here. https://www.globalresearch.ca/hr-2289-catastrophic-human-health-environment/5923299 and attaching it as a file.

Thank you for the opportunity to submit information regarding biological effects and potential health hazards of low-level, long-term exposure to radiofrequency radiation (RFR). I am providing here some personal comments regarding that topic, as well as some scientific evidence. Part One: Personal Comments (1) I have always kept myself in good physical condition. It was a bit surprising, then, that beginning in mid-2009 I began to experience frequent ringing in the ears and strange, repetitive lower-GI symptoms. (2) In 2014 I began experiencing neuropathy in both feet. Shortly thereafter both hands went numb. My feet began to be cold all the time. I consulted my doctor. He suggested Raynaud's Syndrome as a tentative diagnosis. (3) In 2016 new symptoms began. In addition to ringing in the ears and neuropathy in hands and feet, I had intermittent night sweats, urinary urgency, occasional severe eye pain, intermittent tachycardia, and rapid development of varicosity in the veins of both lower legs. (4) After researching my strange array of symptoms, I hypothesized that they might be caused by high-frequency sounds emanating from motorized equipment atop a building a few blocks away. I sound-proofed my bedroom. That didn't help. I tried sleeping in a different room on the other side of the house where I seemed to be less symptomatic. That did help, yet I couldn't imagine why. (5) In 2017 I learned that pulsed microwaves from wireless communications technology can induce some or all of the symptoms I was experiencing. I purchased a meter for measuring RFR as well as one for measuring AC magnetic and electric fields. We switched off our WiFi-enabled Internet router, opting instead for wired-only (Ethernet) connectivity. We shielded a wall in my bedroom where WiFi was coming in from the house next door. (6) Most of the newer, more concerning symptoms dropped away within a few months after implementing our mitigation measures. No more tachycardia. No more night sweats. No more severe eye problems. No more numbness in my hands—I could sign my name again! (7) Since 2018 I continue to have varicose veins in my legs. (Once contorted, veins cannot return to normal.) Recent tests reveal I have "chronic venous insufficiency" in both legs. (8) By experimenting with different environments and measuring the levels of RFR that “trigger" my symptoms, I've discovered that any space, indoor or outdoor, where RFR peaks at more than about 300 microwatts per square meter is unhealthy for me. Lingering for more than about 15 minutes in such a place can cause a feeling of malaise involving fatigue and lower GI discomfort, plus "brain fog" and possibly a headache. I also typically experience "buzzing" or burning sensations in my lower legs. Essentially, I am now sensitive to all forms of wireless communication technology. I am also triggered by AC magnetic fields emanating from home appliances that have fairly powerful electrical motors (vacuum cleaners, refrigerator, clothes washer). (9) I discovered a couple of years ago that PG&E installed "smart" (RFR-emitting) electricity meters in our neighborhood in January of 2009. Perhaps those are the original inciting stressors. (10) Our use of WiFi from 2011 to 2017, as well as our neighbor's adoption of WiFi beginning in 2014, may have caused the amplification of my symptoms during those years. Part Two: Scientific Evidence Regarding Biological Effects and Potential Health Effects Together with two colleagues, in 2018 I measured ambient levels of RFR in four residential neighborhoods in Davis, California. Our goal was to find out how much RFR exists and what frequencies are present. The essence of what we learned is this: (i) the level of RFR varies greatly, from a low of just 2 to as much as 20,000 microwatts per square meter, (ii) all neighborhoods are "saturated" with RFR from mobile phone base stations (cell towers). In 2021 and 2022 I participated in a worldwide RFR-measuring campaign. The results may be viewed at the website GlobalEMF.net. The project revealed that power density of RFR along streets in the downtown areas of many cities exceeds 10,000 or even 100,000 microwatts/m2. Unfortunately, environmental levels of RFR peaking above about 1,000 microwatts/m2, and especially those peaking above 10,000 microwatts/m2, are associated with biological effects of a neurological, cardiovascular, or neuroendocrine origin. Various peer-reviewed papers published since the late 1980s, and especially since about 2000, together reveal that the pathophysiological symptoms are of biochemical and biophysical origin. The mechanism of action involves nitric oxide and peroxynitrite and various complex and interconnected biochemical pathways intrinsic to the human body (and to other forms of life). I'm uploading a 2007 review paper by Pacher, Beckman, and Liaudet that aids in understanding the breadth of the potential pathophysiological symptoms. Also provided: an outline.

My second attachment didnt attach with my comment Comment Tracking Number #mvi-kbak-24eh. Im also confused by this whole process because I wasn't asked any of these questions this information told me I would be. I have cognitive issues as I explained in my comment as well as EHS

The towers with the small round and square disk on them impact me the most. It feels like someone is hitting the front of my head with a hammer Some tower just increase my agitation level. I just feel annoyed about everything. Any type of charger or electrical signal disrupt my sleep pattern every few hours. I can't have heating pads,electrical blanket phone charger or tablet in the same room. I ue rfd material over my bed to help midgate any interference.

Here's a three minute video containing data that is published science, testing results, or public standards including the serious detrimental effects of these over-powerful man-made radiation frequencies. Please watch it. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1748284186236212 In my home office I experienced disabling head pain, frightening heart palpitations, shortness of breath and brain fog leading to an inability to think. It took me AVOIDING my office to figure it out. After spending nearly two years refusing Xcel Energy access to install a smart meter, Xcel and the Colorado Public Utilities Commission FORCED US TO INSTALL THE SMART METER, A RADIATION EMITTING DEVICE, or Xcel Energy would shut our electric power off. When Xcel threatened us I was desperate to learn how to protect our live bodies. Constant research about radiation frequencies, including dirty electricity that's inherent in our power grid from 42% wind and solar power delivered to our house... I purchased SaticShield and Aulterra products to shield, filter and "retune" the POWERFUL man-made smart meter radiation and technology frequencies constituting interference with our natural live electrical bodies; including the wifi router, cell phones, laptop, desktop and big screen tv. We applied individual products to the technology devices, a whole house filter to our electrical lines and each of our automobiles. We wear the protection on our bodies as well. Finally the buzzing in my head reduced some and sleep was improved some. We shielded the FORCED UPON US smart meter from pulsing extremely heavy loads of radiation into our kitchen where we stand to cook and walk past EVERY DAY. What do people do that can't afford to mitigate the harmful health effects? Or those that don't know a silent killer is frequenting them every day practically all day and all night? I can't imagine the terror moms and dads have over their young children being constantly bombarded by man made radiation frequencies that disturb the young and old alike and do damage to the DNA level to every live member of mankind, animal kind and plant kind! Yes, the radiation frequencies did not raise my body temperature but they certainly harmed my everyday life!!! The radiation and dirty electricity are sneaky. People are unaware of the huge dirty electricity readings caused by led lights, dimmers, florescent lights, and all those aforementioned technological devices. I'm absolutely appalled by a small town in Iowa where family lives... placing frequency devices DIRECTLY ON all the town's people's WATER TOWER!!! Are you kidding? The corporate officials that took money to do that ought to be ousted in the public square! Those frequencies directly on the water tower destroy the structure of water so desperately needed by every living thing. Stop this madness. Denial is the problem because there's too powerful much money to be made by continuing down this path! The truth is not hidden from the All Mighty. The number one job of "government" is to protect the people and their assets. DO IT.

Subject: Public Comment / Request for Information (RFI) regarding the health and environmental impacts of Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) and Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation. 1. Equipment and Measured Environmental Exposure Levels • Measurement Device: I utilize a GQ EMF meter to continuously monitor the exposure levels within my living environment. • Daily Exposure Readings: The device consistently registers levels well into the "red zone" (hazardous threshold) on a daily basis. • Electromagnetic Fields (EMF): Measurements frequently spike up to 20 mG (milligauss) within the living spaces. • Electric Fields (EF): The electric field strength is highly elevated throughout the residence. Baseline measurements in most areas, such as around door frames, range between 80 V/m and 120 V/m (Volts per meter). In direct proximity to electrical cabling, the readings peak drastically at up to 900 V/m. 2. Reported Health Symptoms and Cognitive Impacts • Vertigo & Tinnitus: Experience of persistent dizziness/vertigo, which appears to correlate with the proximity and operation of the Wi-Fi router. This is accompanied by a constant tinnitus-like buzzing or humming sound, closely linked to the usage of mobile phones and television sets. • Severe Fatigue and Rigid Lethargy: Onset of a profound, leaden fatigue that frequently manifests as a state of physical rigidity or paralysis. • Socio-Economic and Psychological Toll: These severe environmental stressors directly impair and diminish my capacity to work (Arbeitskraft). The constant exposure induces severe malaise, physical discomfort, and has contributed significantly to states of clinical depression. • Cognitive Disruption: Noticeable impairment of concentration levels and significant memory weaknesses. • Headaches & Mitigation Success: Chronic headaches. A measurable improvement in overall well-being and a reduction in headaches have been achieved since implementing a strict protocol of turning off all electronic devices and routers during the night. • Intrusive Dream States: Sleep disruptions characterized by highly vivid dreams that carry the distinct sensation of an external entity hacking into or manipulating the subconscious mind. 3. Oncological Diagnoses & Developmental Concerns • Skin Malignancy: Diagnosis of non-melanoma skin cancer (white skin cancer), which correlates chronologically with the high exposure levels monitored via the aforementioned EMF and EF settings. • Canine Cancer: A cancer diagnosis in the household pet (an elderly dog). • Impact on Child Development: Based on my personal observations of these extreme measurements, I am deeply concerned that such exposure levels must be absolutely devastating to developing children, inevitably impacting their neurological, physical, and psychological growth. 4. Anomalous Physical and Thermal Environmental Phenomena • Acoustic and Visual Impacts: Observations of physical "impacts" or kinetic-like strikes that become both audible and visually perceptible on freely hanging aluminum foil. (Note: Similar anomalies and recordings have been documented by independent researchers, such as Dr. Katherine Horton). • Thermal Glass Damage: The sudden, unexplained appearance of a large geometric anomaly on the terrace glass door. A ring with a diameter of approximately 1.5 meters was thermally burned/etched into the glass pane, accompanied by a distinct physical notch or crack, originating from no visible external source. Closing Statement: I am profoundly grateful to the Department of Health and Human Services for initiating this critical investigation and for proactively consulting the public to gather these vital testimonies. Best regards

My first experience with EMFs was in the year 2000 when I purchased my first cell phone it was a 2g/3g. The adverse effects I began experiencing was trouble sleeping and headaches. So, I decided to remove the cell phone from my bedroom and the problems with sleeping and waking up with headaches stopped. As an IT professional, I asked the question why and started doing some research. Distance is key to reducing exposure and learning simple convenience changes. I began studying and researching the biological effects that man-made EMF exposures have on humans and other living organisms for years. My studies and research with health care professionals, scientists, researchers, journalists , EMF Mitigation professionals and Building biologists. We are bioelectrical systems and environmental exposure to artificial EMFs interact with fundamental biological processes in the human body and all life on this planet for example the BEEs. My next major challenge was in 2011, I could no longer work in electronic environments, because of my sensitivity to all of the electro-pollution that has now filled our environments. I cannot take airplane trips, be in large crowds, and going into to town is overwhelming on my nervous system. I live in Rural area in Nature where this is little exposure to the EMF toxins. I can feel the difference when I am in a Natural harmonic environment vs the city full of electro-pollution. I am living with Electro-hypersensitivity. When I am overwhelmed, it takes days for me to recover. I have experienced the following symptoms: Trouble Sleeping Headaches and migrancies difficulty concentrating dizziness irritability Heart palpitations, irregular heartbeats, fast heartrate fatigue weakness depression ringing in the ears the phone when it rings sends a painful shock through my body I now help people with EMF mitigation support, education as to source awareness, safer products, potential Health and well-being consequences, EMF mitigations and simple things they can do to reduce their health and well-being exposure. We have to consider EMFs as just one of the many possible factors in the Rising wave of chronic illness.

Please make it mandatory and public that every company that has a device that emits EMFs, RF, and Wireless Radiation Exposure that they need to publicize how much the device(s) emitts, the distance that it emitts, and the effects of it on the human body and the environment. As a person who developed a non operational cyst in my right ear and have lost hearing in my right ear because of it, all because I started using a cell phone 27 years ago. I still to this day can't use an IPhone because of the amount of the EMFs that is has. Our world survived without these levels and yet our government and people making these choices don't care and keep passing these regulations. Please protect the people and our environment/nature above money. Please make these harmful effects known.

Comment on Docket No. HHS-OASH-2026-0397, Request for Information on Radiofrequency and Electromagnetic Field Exposure and Human Health I am a father in Central Florida and have worked in information technology since the 1990s. I use technology every day and I am not afraid of it. I am submitting this comment because I believe we can use it in healthier ways, and on behalf of the many people I have spoken with who share my experience (but will not comment). MY EXPERIENCE I have learned the distinct effects of each EMF issue: wireless signals, dirty electricity and magnetic fields. Wireless: Around 5G networks and crowds of 5G phones, I feel stress and tightness in my chest and it becomes harder to breathe. The longer I stay, the worse I feel. In town I feel foggy, unmotivated and low, and I rely on caffeine to get through the day. In nature I feel lighter, clear-headed and motivated. Dirty electricity: Electrical noise on household wiring from AC/DC power adapters affects me much like 5G. It causes stress in my body and weakens me over time. Magnetic fields: During Florida summers, when air-conditioning load on the grid is highest, I feel a heavy drag on my body that weakens me. It eases noticeably in the fall when demand drops. I feel my best when I keep my phone on airplane mode and only turn it on to 4G when needed, plug my computer and phone into ethernet whenever possible, and use wired satellite internet when traveling. I disabled 5G because it causes a distinct feeling of stress in my body. If I allow that frequency to be on for an extended period of time, I become numb to that initial sensation and my cognitive abilities diminish. I have moved outside of town. This has a real cost: my daughter wants to live in town for access to school and culture, and that conflict strains our whole family. I understand the science on symptoms like mine is not settled. That is why I respectfully ask HHS to consider the following. RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Test before deployment. Fund independent health research on new frequencies before public release, including properly blinded studies of people who report sensitivity, so these experiences can be confirmed or ruled out rigorously. 2. Promote wired internet. Many people do not know phones and computers can be connected by cable. Support wired broadband in rural areas and public education about wired options. 3. Wired schools. Encourage schools to use wired connections for student devices and to minimize wireless exposure in classrooms. 4. Low-signal nature zones. Designate natural areas where towers are not aimed, with satellite phones available for emergencies, and support research on effects on birds, insects and wildlife. 5. Satellite signals. Current satellite rules appear safe. Please be mindful not to increase power output toward Earth. Test areas with and without satellite frequencies to establish a real control group. Give areas of nature and Indigenous lands a break from satellite and wireless signals if they do not ask for it. 6. Magnetic fields. Measure residential magnetic-field exposure in high-load regions such as Florida, and support burying power lines. 7. Clean DC power. Create clear building-code paths for DC-only homes, encourage DC and battery-powered appliances through rebates, and set standards to reduce electrical noise ("dirty electricity") from power adapters. We do not need to fear technology. We need to evolve how we use it. Thank you for opening this record to members of the public. Zachariah Stillwater Melbourne Florida
