Neurological symptoms & sleep

I live underneath a water tower and it has a 5G tower on top of it and I have had chronic headaches ever since we moved here. I went to a functional medicine doc and she said I should move but my husband does not agree and told me we aren’t moving.

Greetings, I experienced negative neurological symptoms (headaches, tremors, etc.) after extended exposure to EMFs in the US military. Subsequent investigations into the expansion of EMFs and their impact on the body led me to explore the safety research. Amazingly, I learned that the current guidance offered by the FCC uses exposure limits from the 1990s. Given the massive proliferation of all types of EMF systems (Cell towers, radars, data centers, etc.) any objective view would assess this as inadequate. More incredible, these exposure limits were based on behavioral studies in the 1980s involving 5 monkeys and 8 rats. Why current studies have not been done (as have been done in other countries) is a different issue. That they should be done isn't debatable. Please do your job and protect the public. Regards, Col.

Hi. I personally know TEN different people who have severe physical reactions to emissions from cell phones, cell towers and smart meters -- heart-throbbing, headaches, and mental confusion, to name a few. So my knowledge of this is not merely from studies. And I would like to offer this very personal experience with one of my students and wi-fi. My student’s parents have agreed to tell her story, hoping it will be helpful, not only in banning cellphone use in schools, but in getting the wi-fi turned off in our schools as well. I have no wi-fi in my house. All my computer stuff is hard-wired, and I ask all my students to turn off their phones when they’re in my house. I’ve been teaching private piano lessons for 46 years, and have worked with students of all ages and personalities. Recently I got a new 12-year-old student. To protect her identity, I’ll call her Gretchen. At our first lesson, Gretchen was sullen. She kept slouching, and I kept having to ask her to sit up straight. She wouldn’t sing the letter-names of the notes with me, and didn’t talk to me except to say, “I’m CONFUSED.” She never smiled, and she acted like she wanted to be somewhere else. It was a very long, very difficult half hour. About 20 minutes into the lesson, I asked Gretchen if it was her idea or her parents’ idea that she take lessons. I told her I would support her, and talk to her parents if she didn’t want to take lessons. She told me it was her idea. I told her I would talk with her father and tell him my thoughts. When I talked to her father he said would talk to Gretchen. The next week, Gretchen’s father said Gretchen really wanted to take lessons, and that he told her she needed to cooperate with me. However, Gretchen acted the same way she did at the first lesson. She seemed very unhappy. Gretchen’s mom picked her up after the second lesson, so I talked with her, and told her Gretchen seems like she really doesn’t want to take lessons. Her mom started to cry. She said, “I’m trying to get her interested in something.” I said, “Does she use a cell phone?” “I took it away from her. She was in another world when she was using the phone.” “What about her classmates? Are they acting the same way?” “Her teacher says he has this trouble with all his students, but Gretchen is the worst.” I asked Tony Keppelman, my EMF colleague, what I could offer this family. He said, “Tell them to turn off the wi-fi for two weeks when Gretchen’s in the house.” I said, “But she has wi-fi in school.” He said, “Well, at least it won’t be 24/7.” I made the suggestion to Gretchen’s dad, and the very next week Gretchen was more cooperative during her lesson. I told her dad afterwards that the lesson was better. I asked him if he had turned off the wi-fi. He said, “Yes.” “And how is Gretchen at home?” “Better!” It’s now several weeks later, and Gretchen is a completely different person. She’s pleasant, she smiles, she talks to me, she sits up straight the whole time, and she doesn’t say, “I’m CONFUSED” anymore. This may not be “scientific” evidence, but it is real. It is not in the imagination of Gretchen, her parents, her teacher, or me. It’s no secret that I have been a long-time, whole-hearted supporter of banning cellphone use and turning off the wi-fi in schools and in homes. More evidence: One of my friends teaches pre-kindergarten, and she says that last fall her four-year-olds acted like three-year-olds. One wasn’t even potty-trained. He came outside without his pants on. Sincerely, Carol Kuzdenyi

I recently loved about 700 meterers from a 5g and a cell tower. Within a month of moving into the house I started experiencing insomnia, brain fog, legacy, and overall feelings of pain. I eat very healthy and could not understand the sudden change. Within two months I got eczema on the back of the my neck and it began spreading to my face. I’ve never had eczema before in my life. I assumed there was mold in the house but upon further investigation there was none. We live on a mountain in a wooded area so the towers were not obvious upon moving in. These towers have greatly impacted my health and unfortunately they are directly by my house. I am a stay at home mom and feel sick about not being 100 percent for my kids and the risks they now face.

DNA damage, skin damage, cellular replication failure, hair loss, sexual dysfunction, burns, rashes, brain injury, dizziness, other concussion symptoms, microbiome disruption, death, heart attack, stroke, organ failure, vascular disease, gastrointestinal distress, psychological conditions such as fatigue, memory loss, apathy, cancer, alzheimers, sleep loss, and other quality of life issues are pervasive in my life and others' lives due to radiation exposure in my career. Camoflauge technology hides the damage done to the human and environment so collecting accurate data is critically challenged and contested in the field. My own personal experiences go beyond what is documented in some research. Radiation intensity surrounding airports and military bases give electrosmog articles credibility when projects are costing people their bodies, time, money, and potentially their entire lives being cut short.

I had a baby with SEVERE full body eczema. While pregnant with this baby we installed a WiFi direct security service in our house. All first floor windows and doors. Upon hearing WiFi radiation may be part of the eczema problem, we shut it off. He had about a 40% reduction in his red, violent eczema and severe hives within the week. My husband and I also noticed we started dreaming again as soon as the WiFi direct signals were turned off. Nothing else changed except the security system being turned off. No diet or medical intervention changes. This is being submitted anonymously simply because I am mentioning a minor and a security system being tuned off.

I always felt unnatural around my mobile phones with 4G and 5G capabilities. It felt like there were frequencies I could not see constantly bombarding my head, and I would get this numb feeling in my head and jaw area. I absolutely could not hold the mobile device up next to my head during phone calls. It made my head uncomfortable despite me believing it was harmless. I could never stay on calls holding the phone up to my head. I always got so uncomfortable so quickly that I needed to switch to bluetooth headphones or, more often, the speaker phone. My mind seemed foggy and cloudy with my cellphone around me. I no longer have a mobile device and I feel like I've been returned to nature. My mind is no longer cloudy or foggy. I sleep better and I do not feel the way I felt (lethargic, distracted, foggy) the entire time I was carrying a mobile device or with the presence of on around me. I sleep better and feel more in control of my life. I also have a sense of my privacy being restored. My cellphone used to always know when I woke up in the morning. It would save all the notifications until I stirred in bed a little bit at 4 a.m. or 5 a.m., and it would suddenly flood the device with all the notifications it saved for me over night. It also always gave me too many personalized ads considering I had my microphone off, my camera off, my location off, and personalized ads off. Social media sites and other websites would somehow present an ad to me for a product or service I discussed out loud to another person, not over the phone, and it is not something I ever looked up on an electronic device.

When 5G hubs came out for my electricity company I was given a postcard months before and it said that I could call and I could opt out of the service because it was already a digital hub they could already read my information they could already see it they can turn my power off and on with a flick of a switch with nobody coming out to do so physically. It gave a phone number so I called it, going through a couple of hoops people would not answer my questions and what I needed to know and address my concerns before they actually went ahead and did this or I said no please do not do this... The person on the phone with me told me that if I did not change this hub because medically I have a sensitivity to frequencies to noises to sounds to smells decides to everything because I have my own medical issues and that if I was not going to be switching it over that it would cost me $100 out of my pocket and then every month thereafter would cost me another $50 added on to my bill because somebody would physically have to come out and read this because they would not listen to me when I said I have a medical letter here from my doctor who do I send it to so it doesn't happen to me and to forego also my neighbor who I am renting but as long as I'm here it should be recognized as well because both of our meters are in the same position and her meter would obviously give frequencies off so if I didn't change mine and she did I would still be sick. She furthermore lets me know that it's going to cost me extra and every month it's going to cost me the X amount of dollars that she stayed in she said well don't worry honey it's the same as having a microwave I said I don't have a microwave because I get severe headaches I get them so bad and so frequently I get very nauseous and I would be sick for very large periods of time and sometimes hospitalized. And she didn't know what to say to me I said see me to tell me because I'm disabled because I have a medical reasoning for this not to happen that you're going to charge me extra you're going to charge someone who's disabled extra money to be disabled. I'm trying to understand this because I'll be honest with you my lawyer will be definitely interested in this conversation. She immediately says oh I'm so sorry hold on one moment and puts me on hold furthermore she refers me to another person who claims to be a supervisor and said well this is what it is and until it changes that's what's going to be we're either going to do it and to be honest with you we're already changing in your area and likely this request will not be seen until it's already been done and we cannot undo it once we've done it. Furthermore stating even though they give you the option to opt out they really didn't mean they could opt you out of it they weren't going to they were not intending to and they certainly didn't care if I was medically unwell from this surgeon in waves coming through my home and through my body causing me to be ill. So do I have issues with all of this absolutely these I love this they call them improvements to our energy or not improvements because there have been no studies on this brand new technology because we're at a war of technology and who's got the better stuff and who can get it up and running quicker we're not looking at what are the effects that they're going to have on the people who actually pay for us to have this business these little people who are getting sick these little people who don't have the extra money to put a faraday cage around everything. This is so sick and I can't believe this is being allowed

Thank you for taking the time to look into this important matter. I first began showing signs of EMF sensitivity back in 2015. My physical, mental, and emotional health is negatively impacted by the ever increasing EMFs that I do not have any control over. The house I am living in has the internet hardwired, but I cannot control what neighbors do. I believe I should be able to live in a suburban neighborhood without being immersed in EMFs. I am especially negatively impacted by smart meters and specifically fiber WiFi internet and WiFi in general. I purposely do not have 5G on my cell phone and use Bluetooth sparingly. When I am in an environment with fiber WiFi internet, my sleep is affected. I don’t sleep as deeply and I have to sleep for longer periods of time to be somewhat functional day to day. I also have nerve pain in my legs that fluctuates in severity when around these sources. I believe EMFs can contribute to nervous system dysregulation in certain individuals, myself included. I believe the increasing EMFs can put the body in a chronic sympathetic (fight or flight) state. This condition has impacted my ability to work and I have been mentally institutionalized multiple times for having to live with this condition. I am asking for there to be some regulations in how this technology is implemented. We are living in a time where EMFs are only increasing to levels never before experienced with no real consideration on what it is doing to mankind’s physical, mental, and emotional health. I am doing all that is in my power to lower the EMFs in my own home, but there should be limitations in how far these EMFs can travel from neighbors that are now directly impacting me. I ask that you will look into the harms of EMFs, especially the radio frequency radiation that comes from specifically fiber internet WiFi (and WiFi in general), smart meters, and Bluetooth and make changes. I thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

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 the perspective of a concerned citizen. I am concerned that the regulation of the safety of radio frequencies has not been updated since 1996. Since then, many new forms of wireless radiation, from cell phone towers to smart electronics have become ubiquitous in our lives. Personally, I have suffered from intense tinnitus for about 20 years. My husband has had heart arhythmias and tinnitus for a similar period of time. Otherwise, we are generally healthy. There is no way to know whether radio frequencies are causing these, yet I am suspicious that they are. Therefore I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. 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.
