Neurological symptoms & sleep

I have tinnitus. It came out of nowhere. I can try to link it to covid or EMF generality. Std to know but the timing is clear.

My comment is in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding both as a patient and a healthcare professional, who has been concerned about this issue for many years, and has read the scientific literature. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/379738087_Investigation_of_the_Adverse_Health_Effects_of_Cell_Phone_Radiation_and_Propose_Solutions_to_Minimize_Them_A_Systematic_Review I developed hypersensitivity to electromagnetic radiation when I had another serious illness, and the effects of the wireless radiation made my overall symptoms worse. Those symptoms included brain fog, insomnia, anxiety and tinnitus. I removed all cordless phones from my home, and use wired phones and computers to help reduce the symptoms. My cell phone is turned off or on airplane mode most of the time to reduce my exposure. HHS is responsible for making sure the exposure to electromagnetic radiation is safe. Thus far, it has not been proven safe, and the exposures allowed in our country are magnitudes higher than that allowed in the EU. Please examine both the scientific evidence and people’s experiences regarding the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by the appropriate federal agencies with expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health. I urge HHS to identify gaps in current research, giving particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations. We need to establish appropriate federal research priorities and laws regarding wireless radiation and public health. Thank you for considering these concerns. Kim Weeber, DPM, LAc

I Beatrice McLaughlin declare under penalty of perjury as follows; 1. I reside in Largo Florida 2. I did not consent nor do I consent today to the continuous involuntary exposure to biologically active RF radiation 3. I am a 66 year-old woman who has been disabled since 2009. My main diagnosis for the disability is fibromyalgia. I paid attention to my symptoms and learn dues don’t and triggers of how to live with a debilitating disease. 4. In 2024 I was diagnosed with Havana syndrome by my Neurologist Dr Grant. I was also diagnosed with tinnitus and Energy weapons by the original Doctor who diagnosed the US diplomats when their attacks occurred in Havana Cuba in 2016 Dr. Micheal Hoffer. Once again, I paid attention to my symptoms with these diagnosis and know that this is man-made. RF radiation has created burns on my breast, legs, feet and face. My body does not create this on its own. I get headaches, have no balance, dizziness, vertigo, and hotspots on my head. I can pinpoint when where and who my radio frequency radiation began. 5. Towards the end of 2019 I was having issues with my bladder implant going into my 12th year with the implant. My urologist told me to turn it off and let’s see what happens. That was in November 2019. January 30, 2020 my entire bladder implant system was removed due to working on its own. During that year of 2019 I was experiencing stalking with vehicles and being run off the road on many occasions, especially on rainy days. Of course I went to the authorities to report what was happening to me, but I was being dismissed at every turn. Local authorities would send me to the FBI. The FBI would send me back to local authorities. July 6, 2019 I wrote Governor Como because I was beside myself of why I could not get any help. From that period on there were three car accidents a hit-and-run within a five month span. December 2019 were two of those accidents that is also the same year RF radiation came into my life. There are many facts to back up my claims. Throughout the years I have written department of justice two presidents many senators and no one has helped. Radio frequency is all over my apartment and has been a daily part of my life since 2019. I’m grateful to my Neurologist Dr Grant and Dr Michael Hoffer. Radio frequency or pulse modulated RF radiation has injured me from its exposure. EMR syndrome is a condition linked to exposure to man-made artificial electromagnetic radiation. Sources of man-made EMR include cell towers building antennas cell phones tablets, computer, computers, smart, meters Wi-Fi Bluetooth LED smart lighting smart appliances, wireless, baby monitors, wearables, and implanted medical devices. EMR can trigger many reactions from mild to life-threatening. Such as in my case fatigue, memory cognition problems,tinnitus, headaches, heart, arrhythmia, Burns in so many different areas and sleep disturbance. Over the past seven years, it has followed me from apartment to apartment, but I have been in this place for three years and the RF intensity is very high. I never feel well in my apartment but when I go outside that all changes. I want to thank you for your time and do hope that changes are coming in the very near future. My senior years were not supposed to be lived out like this or under this horrific sickness. Thank you again, Beatrice McLaughlin

Filing HHS RF Comments 2026 Response to: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is seeking public input on the potential adverse health and environmental effects of radiofrequency (RF) radiation, more commonly referred to as wireless radiation. All Links in text and any attached pdfs hereby incorporated by reference. [Summary statement appended at the end.} Filed on 10/18/26 Response to: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is seeking public input on the potential adverse health and environmental effects of radiofrequency (RF) radiation, more commonly referred to as wireless radiation. All Links in text and any attached pdfs hereby incorporated by reference. For the record. To whom it may concern – The Human Cost of Ever-Increasing RF Exposure at Toxic Levels SUMMARY Statement: With respect to HEALTH EFFECTS, the province of HHS, and the failure of the FCC in not changing their RF safety standards, people today not only get exposed to different and more biologically harmful RF frequencies then did decades ago when they set those standards, and for far longer periods of time. The FCC has also failed to take into account the extremely adverse effects that research over the past three decades has shown that microwaves can have, and that as RF frequencies increase, and as wavelengths shorten and become more complex, and as it does with 5G, that harmful biological effects increase as well. Despite the promotional advertising claims of the telecom industry, with respect to 5G (or RF in any frequency) "no safety testing" and "proven safe" DO NOT mean the same thing - a clear violation of the precautionary principle. Important replicated effects, observed in many different laboratories at very low levels of RF exposure, includes neurological damage in animals such as leakage of the blood brain barrier. In February of 2020 Blue Cross Blue Shield released a report that provides strong supporting evidence of an unprecedented increase in early onset Dementia, confirming an increase in Early Onset Dementia or in Alzheimer’s in humans AS PREDICTED from this research. According to this report, in the 4 years between 2013 and 2017, early-onset dementia and Alzheimer’s disease combined diagnosis rates TRIPLED for adults aged 30 to 64, going up from 4.2/10,000 adults to 12.6/10,000 adults. Autism in children shows a similar unprecedented increase. According to National Health data released in 2020, autism incidence among Irish children is now at 4.3%, an 82% rise in five years. One in 16 boys is affected." And given the recent Covid-19 pandemic, it seems important to emphasize that having a leaky blood-brain barrier - at the same time as having a viral infection - does NOT seem a good thing, and may well explain the brain damage and inflammation reported in some Covid-19 cases. And as Panagopoulos has shown in his 2019 review, the extreme and unpredictable variability of real-life cell phone signals - which 5G will markedly increase - results in ever more complex and biologically harmful signals to living cells/organisms.”] Also, with respect to long term health effects, FCC has failed to take into account the extremely adverse effect that digital technologies such as the recent roll-out of 5G and now of AI data centers have had and will have on CLIMATE CHANGE. This issue, the impact that digital technologies have on climate change through its carbon footprint - almost entirely unreported by the media - includes the expected doubling of our human carbon footprint - from 4% to 8%, 2,400 million tons of CO2 by 2025. And worse, by 2028 the projected energy demands of AI predict that it could consume as much electricity annually as 22% of U.S. households, adding and at least as much, or more, environmental, pollution. Given the failure of the FCC to address this situation, despite the publication of thousands of peer-reviewed scientific research papers documenting the environmental and human health costs of human RF exposures and of the digital technologies now in common use, I urgently recommend that HHS address this problem in accordance with this research and give this task the highest priority.

I am submitting this comment as a consumer concerned about long-term exposure to wireless radiation from phones, Wi-Fi routers, cell towers, and other connected devices. I urge HHS to conduct the same thorough independent review of exposure limits as other respondents have suggested, however. my most pressing concerns lie within groups of already compromised and vulnerable people. Any review undertaken by HHS needs to consider those most heavily exposed, the most severely impacted, and needs to examine effects beyond tissue heating. Please prioritize research that reflects how people actually encounter wireless radiation: repeated exposure over many years, often from multiple sources and devices used close to the body. Assessments should consider signal strength, pulse patterns, duration, and combined exposure. The papers by Melnick and Moskowitz (2026 analysis of animal data)(https://doi.org/10.1186/s12940-026-01288-6), Lai and Levitt’s review of technical features of wireless exposures (https://doi.org/10.1080/15368378.2022.2065683), and Scarato’s review of US regulatory gaps with her proposed reforms (https://doi.org/10.3389/fpubh.2025.1677583) warrant careful consideration alongside the broader evidence. Consumers should not have to navigate these questions alone. Please assess whether additional protections are needed for children, pregnant women, and other potentially vulnerable groups: especially vulnerable groups of people with a history of head injury. I ask that exploration be made into links between shearing injury (DAI, TAI, and CHI) and CTE (or TES, Traumatic Encephalopathy Syndrome) from exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation and the ensuing VGCC activation (indicated by Martin Pall, 2022 in"Low Intensity Electromagnetic Fields Act via Voltage-Gated Calcium Channel (VGCC) Activation to Cause Very Early Onset Alzheimer's Disease: 18 Distinct Types of Evidence", https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35114921 ). It is my personal observation that the causal relationship between RFR and Alzheimer's may extend to another Tauopathy, TES (or CTE). If I were to describe my experience after a shearing injury, it would be decades of pain and impairment via exposure to wireless, cellular, microwave, flickering lights operating in radio spectrum speed, and other RFR... decades of pain and impairment after exposure to radio frequency radiation, most probably because of VGCC activation, similar to post concussive syndrome. Or as frequently repeated post concussive events. Maybe that leads to CTE. Thank you for your attention.

I have concerns the technology in question is altering the way our bodies can heal and is interfering with our natural electrical pathways. In the last few years I have experienced migraines often when I’m around technology for long periods of time. I would like to also suggest that the iPhones and their practices of safety be reviewed. I reported stinging in my finger tips after receiving an upgraded phone. I had to revert back to my old phone after a month because of stinging pain. When I retired the issue to Verizon they suggested it was carpel tunnel from holding a phone for too much time. Extreme pain/ burning sensation at the fingertips does not seem anything like carpel tunnel. The pain went away upon switching back to the older model phone suggesting it was indeed a problem with upgraded technology. The battery was not over heating and it was something else. Please hold accountable tech companies so radiation poisoning and other tech forced upon a population should only be implemented with a clean bill of health. Thank you.

I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy and I live in Longmont, Colorado. The majority of patients I see in my clinical practice (outpatient practice for complex / chronic pain) demonstrate EMF toxicity symptoms; I have observed a substantial increase in these symptoms across my patient population especially within the past year, and significantly since about 2020. There has been an increase in installed towers which emit frequencies in ranges harmful to life, including bees, tress, birds, insects, and humans. Patients also report that they experienced a significant change in symptomology once a smart meter was installed on their home in 2022-2023. I recommend a building biologist to my patients who find that mitigation sometimes helps but does not totally improve symptoms, is costly, and for most overwhelming. Even an opt-out AMI meter results in harmful, measurable frequencies in the Kilohertz range within the home, within 3 feet of every electrical outlet. I have confirmed this myself and through investigation with a number of building biologists locally. Symptoms of EMF toxicity I see daily in my patients include but are not limited to: - Headaches - Migraines - Brain Fog - Neck pain - Nausea - Sensation of buzzing in the body - Worsening of other symptoms of toxicity burdens such as heavy metal toxicity, mold / mycotoxin toxicity, chronic lyme, chronic borrellia, babesia, erlichia (for example, it was rather straightforward to treat these from a functional medicine perspective prior to 2020, and now has become increasingly more challenging to get patients into remission from these conditions) - Chronic inflammatory response syndrome - Mast Cell Activation Syndrome - chronic pain and many other symptoms. We need to more deeply understand the types of waves that are emitted from all forms of electromagnetic fields, radiofrequency radiation, and wireless radiation coming from: Cellphones 5G Towers WiFi Routers Any cell towers Smart Meters on homes and businesses and the KHz effects that are measureable, pulsing, up to 3 feet into the room from each electrical outlet, even when someone has an "opt-out" AMI meter Smart appliances including washer/dryer, dishwasher, etc. I hope you investigate and establish more deeply and with greater sensitivity the ranges that are considered safe. Compare findings with other countries which have already established standards that are more supportive of human health. And then please hold our electrical companies (which in so many cases, installed Smart Meters without consent or even without awareness of the citizens) accountable for the harms done. Understand that all humans are different, and all bodies may respond differently to different inputs. We need to protect our most sensitive / challenged members of society, listen to and trust their symptomology, and understand that they serve as canaries in the coal mine. Thank you

Q2 - Perspective: Individual consumer and resident of New York City. Not affiliated with any organization. A fuller version of this comment is attached. Q3 - Personal experience 3(a) Source: In 2019, four cellular antennas were installed on the roof of the building immediately adjacent to mine, approximately ten feet from my bedroom. They initially operated as 4G transmitters. In December 2019, T-Mobile activated 5G on the same site. 3(b) Timing/duration: I slept roughly eight hours a night in the room closest to the antennas. I was not notified of the installation and did not learn the antennas were there until after my symptoms began. I stopped sleeping in the apartment in January 2020 and formally moved out in April 2020. 3(c) Effects: After the antennas began 4G operation in 2019, I developed intense tinnitus, frequent headaches, and noticeable hair loss. In December 2019, when 5G was activated, a new symptom appeared: burns on my ears with no apparent cause - no sun, no heat source, no contact with anything that could explain them. 3(d) Onset relative to exposure: I had none of these symptoms before 2019. Tinnitus, headaches, and hair loss began during 4G operation. The ear burns appeared only when 5G was activated and had never occurred before. Two distinct changes in exposure at the site were each followed by a distinct change in my symptoms. Hair loss and burns resolved after I left. Tinnitus and headaches persist to this day. 3(e) Medical evaluation: My primary care physician had no explanation for the ear burns and asked whether I had been on vacation, though I had not traveled and sunburn confined to the ears made no sense. No cause was identified, no workup done, no diagnosis given. Tinnitus and headaches were never evaluated. Through my own research I later learned that localized burns are a recognized effect of sufficiently intense RF/microwave exposure and that close-range cell transmitters were a plausible source. My clinician had no framework for even considering RF exposure. That is itself a gap HHS should address. 3(f) Exposure reduction and results: Once I learned the antennas were there, I stopped sleeping in my bedroom and slept in my kitchen, the room farthest away. By January 2020 I had stopped living in the apartment; I moved out formally in April 2020. After leaving, tinnitus and headaches improved substantially but never fully resolved. They recur strongly whenever I am near an RF source and subside when I move away. My symptoms have tracked proximity to RF sources consistently since 2019. Being driven from my bedroom and then my home, with no recourse, was a serious hardship. 3(g) Documentation: I have dated photographs of the ear burns from December 2019 and can provide them on request. Q13(a): The 4G antennas alone were associated with tinnitus, headaches, and hair loss. Adding 5G at the same site and distance was followed by a new, different effect on my skin. HHS should treat adding 5G to an existing site as a change in exposure in its own right. Q15(a), 15(d), and Q9: Antennas were placed ten feet from a bedroom in a neighboring building with no notice and no assessment of exposure at the nearest occupied residence across the property line. Compliance evaluations address the host rooftop and ground level, not a bedroom at antenna height next door. HHS should recommend that exposure evaluation for new sites and upgrades consider the nearest occupied sleeping spaces in adjacent structures, that cumulative nighttime residential exposure be studied as its own category, and that residents be notified before installation or upgrade and be able to obtain frequencies, power output, and power density at their own dwelling. Q4(m) and Q16: HHS should prioritize (1) clinical guidance so primary care providers take an exposure history when patients present with unexplained localized burns, new-onset tinnitus, or headaches after nearby antenna installation or upgrade; (2) research on long-term close-range residential exposure to rooftop 4G and 5G infrastructure, including dermal effects, tinnitus, and headache, and why symptoms persist and recur after exposure ends; (3) a standing adverse-event reporting mechanism (Q10(f)). I appreciate HHS asking for the experiences of people who have lived next to this infrastructure and am willing to provide further detail on request.

To whom it may concen I am glad that I get to share my story as I hope it will help with reform in regards to Emf and cell phone towers etc I grew up with a mother who was so sensitive to electrical outlets in the house that ahe had to sleep in the middle of the room on rhe floor to find releif. Fast forward to years later when I found her sleeping in a room where there was a wifi modum on the other side of the wall where she was sleeping. I asked her why she wasnt reactinf to the emf coming from it and she said since she had put 3 rather large obsidian crystals in front of it they had stopped bothering her. I thoufhr that was very interesting until a couple of months later she became very ill . Thats when I discovered that she had 4 golf ball sized tumora growing in her breast tissue. We had it biopsied and it was cancer. She died a week later. She was a very healthy grandmother who ate extremly well excercized and was very fit! Fast forward to 2020 and my husband who is also very healthy amd extremly fit with a great diet started to hve odd symptoms after qe had moved to a new house. He had installed about 8 wireleaa Sonos speakera in the house. My daughter and I couldnt sleep in the rooms that they were in. We have all our homes tested for wifi and emf levels and the levels before we moved in were great! Unfortunatly because each Sonos speaker has ita own Wifi built into each speaker the levels in our home went from nothing to Extremly Dangerous levels. My daughter and I had moved to Tahiti so that we could eacape all the Emf pollution in Calif and my husband commutes every month to see us One year later he developed Afib and had to have an ablatian. Two years later he developed prostate cancer! I just cant beleive that we arent able to protect ourselves or hve any sayso on where we live and the emf that invade our home!! Its just insane that we dont have any right to clean air and clean energy! We have since moved to yet another house and we just found out that we live across the street from 6 cell phone towers and an huge antena!! All if this while my husband it healing himself from a very significant disease! We are now looking at buying a 30 acre property in the mountains just so we can have some righta to clean energy free living! How is this legal in Usa??

They put up a cell tower at the local park. I sat very near it for a couple of hours. When I got home, I had a headache that lasted for 6 days. I don't get headaches, except around cell towers... repeated, and it happened again. I can't sleep well with Wi-Fi on at night. I turn it off. If I'm exposed for a long time during the day outside my house (don't use Wi-Fi) and then at home, I get extremely tired. I can wear EMF protective clothes; that's the only option. I've noticed that people with pre-existing conditions are affected symptomatically. Others may not feel the effects even though the frequencies affect mitochondrial cell function and metabolism. I know people that cannot function outside their house for long, due to EMF frequencies. The public is not given informed consent, and this has been ignored for years. What happened to the Precautionary Principle? There is a lot of research on this, so I won't attach it.
