Neurological symptoms & sleep

An otherwise healthy, young, mom in my mid-30's quickly changed within one week in early 2020 and doctors were puzzled. A few months prior I flew up over earth (I've been told a trip pilots are only allowed to do once or twice a year); and upon landing in Hong Kong I was miserably ill. The illness was not viral, or bacterial, but nothing I have felt before. Our local friends advised it was likely radiation toxicity from flying over the top of earth. It took me 3 days to recover. I was fatigued, nausea and vomiting, GI issues, headache, dizzy, the list goes on. Back to early 2020 and my mystery illness felt very similar but also more neurological with vision issues, heart palpitations and brain fog. After losing a month to crippling fatigue and scary symptoms my hair started falling out. Chicago's top doctors still stumped, I continued to fight for my life. It wasn't for a few months I learned the exact week I landed in urgent care after almost passing out in a presentation, that I learned 5G was rolled out. I never gained my previous health back and now live a life avoiding radiation, wifi, I have 5G turned off on my phone and had to move out of the city. I noticeably feel best in areas where it is not present. Most recently I recovered from a strep ear infection only to have the pain return off and on over the past six months. Once again after stumping doctors I decided to observe when the pain is flaring and when it is completely gone. After a few months of tracking this it was clear: my ear hurt constantly when I was in Chicago, occasionally home in Michigan, and not at all when I was far away with zero cell service or radiation. My ear became weak due to the strep and is now triggered by EMF. I started supplementing with Eleuthero, an adaptogen that helps reduce radiation exposure and boosts the immune system. My story aside my concern is mainly about the children. Why are these towers on top of schools where children are already strapped to devices, under fluorescent lighting all day and now microwaved? The spectrum of what is considered safe has not been thoroughly studied and we are essentially conducting one massive experiment on humanity, with our smallest being the most vulnerable. I am currently studying to be a Building Biology Advocate to implement within my existing interior design practice which this exact topic being a main driver. The earth, and human body, runs on a frequency of 7.83hz. Doctors from the 1920's discovered any frequency above the visible light spectrum (600thz) is detrimental to human health because of the damage it does on a cellular level. Aside from the unknown harm this human experiment could be causing there also seems to be little to no regulation. The US is at the top for no regulation and highest output with the last study on it's potential harm dating back to 1996. That was 3 decades ago, not to mention the advances in technology since then. Lack of research and regulation aside, there are simple methods that could be implemented to reduce the amount of exposure, such as grounding with copper to name an easy one. I would like to thank Secretary Kennedy and HHS for bringing this topic to the public for opinion and for addressing this urgent matter. I am proud to have campaigned for you for this exact reason.

We live across the street from a major various cell tower. My family and I experience headaches, brain fog, fatigue, tinnitus, poor sleep, anxiety and many other symptoms and I know it’s caused by the cellular, WiFi, radio, et al. waves going to and from that tower. I know first hand because I bought Faraday fabric and put it on the inside of my child’s curtains and she said she slept so much better, then I told her about it. Also, when tinnitus, anxiety and headaches become too much, I lay down and cover my whole body in my Faraday blanket and the buzzing feeling stops, tinnitus minimizes and anxiety wanes. You can’t tell me all the invisible electrical activity is healthy, for any living thing!

To the Department of Health and Human Services: Self Monitoring Analysis Reporting Technology As a residential homeowner, I am submitting this formal public comment in response to the Request for Information (Docket ID: HHS-OASH-2026-039) regarding human exposures to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields (RF-EMF). While federal safety standards often assume a uniform, generalized environment, the deployment of wireless smart meters directly onto residential walls introduces acute, pulsed, and continuous RF-EMF radiation into domestic living spaces. This comment addresses four critical components of harm resulting from mandatory utility smart meters: Health, Surveillance, Cost Overcharges with Opt-Out Fees, and Cyber Security. 1. Severe and Adverse Health Outcomes (Pulsed RF-EMF Radiation) Unlike cellular phones which can be powered off or placed at a distance, utility smart meters are permanently mounted to residential structures and emit high-intensity, short-duration pulses of RF radiation 24 hours a day. As reported by National health organizations, proximity to this localized radiation field has severely degraded health and quality of life, manifesting in the following documented symptoms: • Ringing in the Ears (Tinnitus): The installation of wireless smart meters corresponds with the onset of constant, high-pitched ringing and inner-ear pressure. This neurological and auditory distress persists within the home, making it impossible to find an environment free of sensory disturbance. • Disrupted Sleep and Insomnia: The continuous, erratic pulsing of the meter directly interferes with natural sleep architecture. Individuals often experience profound sleep disruption, including difficulty falling asleep, frequent nighttime awakenings, and a total loss of restorative REM sleep, leading to chronic daytime exhaustion. • Severe Headaches and Neurological Pain: Some people can experience persistent, throbbing headaches and localized neurological pressure that directly correlates with time spent inside my home. These symptoms alleviate noticeably only when traveling away from mesh-networked utility infrastructure. The cumulative biological stress of this involuntary exposure cannot be understated. HHS must establish realistic biological safety limits that account for non-thermal, pulsed, long-term residential exposures. 2. Unwarranted Domestic Surveillance and Privacy Intrusion Smart meters log electrical consumption data at granular, high-frequency intervals (often every 5 to 15 minutes). This detailed load profiling allows utilities and potentially third parties to reconstruct intimate household routines, identifying exactly when occupants wake, cook, use specific appliances, or sleep. This continuous tracking represents an unprecedented invasion of domestic privacy, turning a basic public utility into an intrusive surveillance mechanism within my own home. 3. Fabricated Cost Overcharges and Punitive Opt-Out Fees Following the deployment of digital smart meters, countless homeowners experience sudden, unexplained spikes in utility billing despite no change in actual consumption habits. Furthermore, consumers who attempt to protect their health and privacy by refusing these wireless devices are subjected to punitive 'opt-out' penalties. Homeowners are forced to choose between paying ongoing monthly fines or accepting an unwanted, radiation-emitting device attached to their personal property. 4. Vulnerable Cyber Security and Grid Infrastructure Wireless smart meters connect homes via decentralized mesh networks, creating millions of exposed endpoints across the national energy grid. This architectural vulnerability presents a severe cyber security risk. Sophisticated actors or malware can exploit these wireless connections to remotely disconnect power to individual homes, manipulate billing systems, or compromise the safety and stability of the entire regional electrical grid. Conclusion and Requested Actions The mandatory or coercive installation of pulsed RF-EMF smart meters places an unfair and hazardous burden on residential homeowners. The Department of Health and Human Services must intervene to protect public health by validating these documented symptoms, protecting privacy rights, and recommending a federally protected right to a wired, analog, or non-wireless utility infrastructure without financial penalty. Requested Actions: • Conduct a comprehensive, independent epidemiological review of chronic, non-ionizing, pulsed RF radiation from smart meters, focusing heavily on children's health. • Coordinate with state and federal utility regulators to eliminate financial penalties (opt-out fees) for homeowners opting for non-wireless utility alternatives. • Update national safety guidelines to reflect non-thermal biological impacts rather than relying solely on outdated heating-based safety thresholds.

I have had tinnitus ever since the rollout of 5G in Albuquerque, NM. In late 2021 temporally a multi story apartment complex some 400 feet from my home began multiple.arrays and it has continued. City Environmental Health did no pre and post EMF tests. I would like to see, before the next wave of 6 G rollouts that there is pre tower and post emf testing 360 degrees for at least 1000 feet. IMO this electromagnetic spectrum is a physical trespass already with 5G already causing a life damage stressing me out. On another related topic the tinnitus I experience seems way less when I am out of tower range in national forests, remote BLM lands, wilderness areas and national parks. Please keep them out so we have some sort of baseline. We have options to this tech rollout with wire fiberoptics to end user. When that is done no 5G nor 6G should be allowed on local poles as mini cells. Especially not liking that smart meter rollouts that is being done by force with keeping an analog meter system being penalized. In my case about $18 for the "service retention fee" and almost $10 a month for reading the existing meter. There has to be some way too of examining the electric smart meter exposure. My bed is less than 15 feet from the proposed replacement smart meter. Will it exacerbate my tinnitus? I don't know of any long or short term data available but researchers have noted impacts. May I also ask that DHHS convene a meeting of international researchers on this topic. Havas M. Radiation from wireless technology affects the blood, heart, and the autonomic nervous system.

I am living a Nightmare with High Levels on My EMF Detector coming Out from My Walls! I moved into an apartment complex that has high speed internet, cable, phone. Everyone at this complex is forced to pay $60 a month. I only have the phone, I have to unplug when I'm not using it. It came as a package deal with free cell phone service. I have a heavy metals blood work done for the last three years. I have mercy, zinc and cadmium poison in my body. I suffer from headaches and insomnia.

I became very ill about 6 months ago. I developed severe insomnia and neuropathy among other symptoms. I I had a smart meter directly outside my kitchen, and I knew from much research that they deliver pulsed radiation, which is even more damaging than ambient radiation. Since we cannot even opt out here in PA, I paid nearly $4,000 to have the meter moved away from the living space. We also have a 5G tower nearby. A building biologist tested and reported that the radiation levels inside my home were at unsafe levels. I spent additional money to put shielding fabric on some windows and a shielded bed canopy over my bed. These measures have brought the levels down. Only after doing these things did my ability to sleep improve at all. We are all being affected negatively. Some of us are showing the damage that should be a warning for all.

Dear Mr. Secretary, It is with great respect and gratitude that I am writing to you with the following information. I am 54 and have suffered from EMF toxicity since purchasing a condo in my 20s that was 100 yards from a cell phone tower. I personally experience, headaches, body aches, difficulty concentrating and sharp jolts primarily when turning on location services. I have worked for integrative wellness groups who have studied the effects of WIFI at a subatomic cellular level and our biofields since my neck surgery at age 30. I left my career in the auto industry as an Advanced Quality Engineer, Product Designer and Lead Accredited ISO Auditor to work in the integrative wellness field after 10 doctors and neck surgery did not fix my health issues. As a result of working in the integrative field, I have constructed quality management systems that comply with 21 CFR Part 111 and 211. Only until I addressed the WIFI and food did my health begin to shift positively. Future paced, I have been canceled and harassed and bullied after going into my local city council meetings to raise awareness about the hidden effects of WIFI and EMF on our health. I have also had my vehicles tampered with, my computer was hacked and I was given notice to move out of my home (that I lived in almost 10 years) after fighting the cell tower from going up right next to my home and a school. Not to mention other nefarious situations. In an effort to raise awareness, I created the attached website so that people could learn more about the dangers. https://resonancealliance.wordpress.com It is my hope that we can join forces to update the telecommunication standards and test methods to ensure we are safe from wireless technology as well as EMF toxicity. I also know that the 5g and the high speed fiber were launched during the Covid lockdown. We need more transparency regarding the rollout of the new technologies as they have been tied to plagues such as the roll out of sonar and much more. I believe that it is also causing or complicating a rare syndrome affecting my bones that I developed during the rollout of 5g as I am keenly aware of the effects on VGCC blockers. No one should or needs to continue to suffer as there are ways to adjust the technology so as to not affect our bodies on a cellular level. Certain industries do not get a pass on safety standards but others are getting a pass, and the telecommunication industry is one of them. Why? Perhaps it is because energy is difficult to measure and is not a constant, especially with the amount being launched into our stratosphere that is constantly changing. We need new standards in addition to the rights being violated in our airspace. We deserve to vote on this as a planet. Please create a bill to restructure this approval process and implement better integration of alternative principles in healthcare to incorporate cross functional teams. The future of all life forms depends on the immediate swift action regarding the matter. It is time for full transparency. I am compassionate about this subject matter so much so, I would work for your office to assist however possible to help make these amazing technologies be safe for all people and living things in the most bureaucratic way. Thank you for all that you are doing to update our health system in our country. I applaud your efforts and support you all the way. I also knew and worked with Dr. Rashid Buttar and so I do understand at a vast level what is at stake and that many hands are tied. I believe we can organically shift the system so that integrity is intact. Additionally, I have had Senator Kevin McCarthy as speaker at my events that I was an administrator for and so I am capable of high level administration. It is a thankless job being in any Government position and I honor each of you in these roles in government offices. We need more people in these offices that can see both sides and work together. I am in a very excruciating and challenging health and work situation as a result of non transparency in our agencies and health communities. I am ready to do what it takes to help shift this system to one that benefits everyone. A new system that integrates all health practices, traditional, western, eastern and alternative care. I look forward to hearing the next steps of the administration and hope to become active in this mission at your level. I am currently on State temporary disability due to the flair ups from the rare condition. Please contact me at your convenience as I optimistically hope to be part of change for the welfare of all. Thank you again for everything that you are doing for the betterment of mankind. Sincerely, Stacy Dumas 949.357.5733 https://www.linkedin.com/in/stacydumas0414 https://resonancealliance.wordpress.com

With the arrival of 3G in 2008, and the purchase of a 3G phone, symptoms quickly appeared: troubled vision in the morning as if in fog that was gradually dissipating; others became permanent, headaches, sleep disorders, tingling in the limbs when I worked on computers. I aligned these symptoms in an online search and discovered that these symptoms are due to intolerance to electromagnetic waves. I had to transform all the equipment in my house with specific solutions, with the help of a habitat biologist specialized in this case: shielded cables, grounded and insulated the bedroom walls. The symptoms decreased as long as I stay out of the wifi zone and call with the fixed line, the mobile only for emergencies and no more than 5 minutes away from my head. I could no longer frequent places with wifi and fixed wireless phones (DECT), or exposed to cell towers. With the proliferation of connected devices, the widespread use of connected objects via WiFi, and then the free WiFi in all public places, everything for me was getting worse: headaches, tingling sensations on the body, skin burns on the wrists, ankles, and face, digestive disorders, poor sleep, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, weight loss, tinnitus, zooms in on the head, ear warming even without calling, and when I started to experience loss of time reference and orientation, I informed my employer that I will no longer be able to keep this position, which is too exposed. This disability no longer allows me to work or even live in our house surrounded by wifi, so running away is my only salvation. I survive only thanks to an off-the-air location in the forest or in the basement of my parents' house, which is protected from the antennas by a good concrete screed, while waiting to find a place in a white zone and sell our house. I finally found a small village where there are no smart meters in operation, no cell towers nearby, no electrical cables above the house (since I have also become intolerant of 50 Hz), and the possibility of high-performance wired communication. (internet and telephone). To slowly regain health – even though my prolonged exposure has caused irreversible symptoms and permanent disability – I sleep every night in an isolated yurt in a faraday cage, That is, zero waves, but I can only expose myself in polluted places covered with three protective fabrics and limit exposure to a maximum of one or two hours. Regarding my trips, they are restricted (on average once every two or three weeks). I am dependent on my husband for all the groceries.

I am a radiofrequency (RF) radiation injured citizen of the United States of America who has suffered greatly in the recent past and continues to suffer injuries because of the high levels of ambient RF/EMF radiation from cell phones, cell phone towers, wifi routers and other devices transmitting radiofrequency (RF) radiation at levels which—while currently allowed by the FCC—exceed the level of safety according to thousands of peer-reviewed scientific studies. Between 2004 and 2018 I suffered from numerous, unexplained health issues which only later, through my own knowledge and action, came to understand, mitigate and bring into control or complete remission. Throughout 2004-2018 I was subject to: • Alopecia Areata • Dry, burning, Itchy eyes • Headache behind my eyes • Tachycardia • Depression, Insomnia • Ringing in the ears, Tinnitus I was diagnosed by two separate doctors and neither of them had any guidance as to cause or what I should do to alleviate them, other than medication. They generally felt it was due to “stress.” The Alopecia Areata was devastating and disabling. Occurring on two separate occasions lasting 8-12 months. At this time I had to wear a hat constantly because my head was covered with random bald patches. The dry, itchy, burning eyes were equally disabling. For nearly two years straight (2016-2018) I suffered from this injury which was so bad at times that the blood vessels in my eyes would rupture, causing my eyes to be blood red for weeks at a time. Around 2018 I was becoming more familiar with the science regarding the biological effects of RF/EMF and as my understanding increased, I acquired an RF/EMF meter and learned how to use it to determine the levels of RF/EMF emission around me. I also learned to understand what the established science had determined were “safe levels of exposure.” As I metered my environment I was appalled to learn that I was being bombarded with high levels of RF radiation, everywhere, 24 hours a day from myriad sources all around me—cell phones, cell towers, RF modems in houses, buildings, apartments, stores, shops, etc. I began to note, with despair, that I could literally not escape the exposure. I was being irradiated and assaulted without my consent every time I left my house. My health was and continues to be jeopardized due to the lack of proper oversight and regulation by my government and its agencies. In 2018, on my own accord, I began to minimize my exposure to RF/EMF as much as I possibly could. I eliminated all RF devices in my home (going back to cabled connections) and created a clean, sleeping space using RF blocking fabrics and materials. This began to have an effect almost immediately. Within a few weeks my symptoms were diminishing. The burning, dry eyes subsided and my body started feeling clean in a way that I hadn’t felt in many years. In 2021 I moved to a rural area with very low levels of ambient, outdoor RF and the healing continued. Today in 2026, all of the symptoms previously listed have disappeared and since 2018, the Alopecia Areata has never returned. I have been able to directly correlate my injuries with RF/EMF exposure. First, by lowering my exposure I was able to make all of my symptoms disappear. And second, in this day, when I’m in an environment with high levels of RF, I will start to feel the itchy, dry eyes and the headache. When I drive through any city I will have bouts of Tachycardia and almost always notice that I’m driving or walking by a rooftop cell tower or street level RF transmitter. After any high RF exposure I’ll notice loud and prominent Tinnitus. And this Tinnitus will disappear once I’m back in my clean, home environment over the course of a few days. Yet, unfortunately, while I’ve been able to heal completely from my previous injuries, I can only maintain my health by living in the bubble of my home environment. I cannot go into any city, store, hotel/motel, coffee shop, restaurant, train, bus etc. for any extended period of time without exposing myself to RF radiation and possibly suffering a relapse of the serious health issues I faced earlier. I cannot be safe going out in any city or urban area because of the high levels of ambient radiofrequency (RF) radiation which are typical in every city today. 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 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.
