Neurological symptoms & sleep

I am Daniel Vasku, a Dutch citizen, trained in media and image technology, with a lifelong love for technology. After moving to New Zealand I helped organise festivals and events, doing everything from my smartphone, with me 24-7. While setting up wireless networks and video systems for these festivals, I built a mesh network at a rural venue out of consumer Linksys routers. One day, after hours configuring a stack of four active routers, I felt a strange spastic tingling in my right arm, the one nearest the stack. Over the following summer I developed persistent nose congestion, brain fog, painful joints and fatigue. I assumed it was hay fever, but it made no sense that the symptoms lasted for months while we travelled to completely different places. The turning point came in Golden Bay NZ, at the home of a friend who had deliberately restricted his Wi-Fi. While he explained this, I realised that every time I switched my phone on, I felt a brief stabbing pain in my brain. Minutes later the sting returned, and my girlfriend had just powered her phone on. That confirmation made me take the possibility seriously. For the next two or three years I stayed skeptical, but the pattern held: whenever my phone and Wi-Fi were off and I avoided close exposure, I felt much better. In a shared home where Wi-Fi was kept off except when needed, I repeatedly told housemates it was on when they were sure it wasn't, and I was always right. I learned to trust the specific head pressure that came with wireless signals. A few years ago I visited family in Europe, and my condition worsened dramatically: relentless headaches, growing joint pain, visible decline. Eventually I could no longer function, and a friend urged me back to New Zealand. In a small, reception-free valley in Auckland I recovered almost immediately. So I bought my first meter, a Cornet. In a room where everything was powered down, it revealed a pulsing signal coming from my Apple Pencil, whose Bluetooth pulses around the clock. After boxing it up outside the room, I slept that night, for the first time in ages, without the head pressure that so often became a full migraine. With renewed energy I started a sauerkraut business at a Sunday market. It went well, but every market day was followed by a migraine, and recovery grew from one day to two, three, then a full week of pain. When the owner of a new venue told me a cell tower was going on the roof with strong indoor repeaters, I realised I had to quit. When savings ran out, I moved to a rural community in the Coromandel. There, with almost no cell reception, my health picked up tremendously. But my sensitivity kept increasing. One or two hours in town cost me severe headaches the next day. I tried shielding: first a silver-coated veil, which helped, then a full radiation suit from China made of stainless steel and cotton, which let me shop without next-day migraines, at the cost of looking odd, overheating badly in sunlight, and sensitivity to AC electric fields. Even that was not enough. People using a phone in a neighbouring room triggered headaches before I even saw the device, and I was always right. I began carrying my meter constantly as an alarm system, because by the time I felt pain it was already too late. About five years ago my condition worsened again despite shielding. My meter showed levels higher than before, and the timing coincided with the switch-on of 5G in the town. I found a new community in Golden Bay in the South Island, verified it with more sensitive equipment like the Safe & Sound ProII, which registers the far lower levels at which I now react, and moved there. Today I can function outdoors with a clear head and no pain. But I can visit town only briefly once a week, still paying one or two days of migraine even with the suit, and I live in near-total social isolation, a hard adjustment for a social person. And with all pervasive wireless radiation, it's difficult to access healthcare. I am de facto an EMF refugee. An example: a friend came for tea and swore he had left his phone in the car. Within minutes I became nauseous and started stuttering. My meter found active AirPods in his pocket emitting about 16,000 microwatts per square metre. In ten minutes, from two metres away, they cost me my train of thought. I am desperately looking for an EMF sanctuary where I can function as a human being among people who keep wireless off. In the meantime I have helped many others with similar symptoms, using calibrated meters to find and eliminate sources, and it is clear that this problem is growing. I am deeply troubled by what this means for children, and for humans, animals, plants and insects. We are gambling with the future of humanity in what may be the most irresponsible open-air experiment ever undertaken. The more people learn about Electromagnetic Radiation Syndrome, the more will recognise their own unexplained suffering in it.

I am submitting this response as an individual consumer. Question 3 In 2005, when I was about 11 years old, Wi-Fi was installed in my school in every classroom. Laptop computers with Wi-Fi became a frequent used part of the lessons. This became my first experience of illness symptoms from RF/EMF. Today, more than 20 years later, I can still experience same type of symptoms near RF/EMF sources like Wi-Fi routeres, cell towers and mobile phones downloading/uploading data. My primary symptom is a peculiar type of headache. It feels as though a small balloon is slowly being inflated inside my head. It is very different from a headache caused by a fever. It may be accompanied by sudden, intense but brief pain at a random, small spot inside my head. This feels like a small, sharp nail is being hammered into my skull. My other symptoms are slight dizziness and a feeling of exhaustion in the brain - different from when I am naturally sleepy in the evening. Symptoms can appear less than 10 minutes after exposure has begun. After exposure has end, some of the symptoms subside within as little as 2-3 minutes. They generally disappear completely within an hour. However, this may vary depending on the intensity and duration of exposure, etc. My doctor cannot help me with treatment for the condition. I do not suffer from any other medical conditions that could cause these symptoms. In addition, I generally have a very low stress level. My mother consider herself to be suffering from electro hyper sensitivity (EHS) in severe degree. During exposure from RF/EMF she experiences symptoms like mine, and, in addition, other symptoms. I believe she is affected about 5 times more severely than I am. Last year, an acquaintance of mine sent me a copy of a scientific article - “Elektrohypersensitivity as a Newly Identified and Characterized Neurologic Pathological Disorder: How to Diagnose, Treat and Prevent It” – by Dominique Belpomme and Philippe Irigaray, Published in International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 11 March 2020. The PDF file is 16,4 MB in size and cannot be attached here, but it can be read at [https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/21/6/1915]. The content of the article might explain my characteristic symptoms during exposure from RF/EMF. In section 5 – “Radiological identification of cerebral neurovascular abnormalities” – reduced blood flow in parts of the brain, observed in self-reporting EHS-patients, is described. Here are a few excerpts from it: “(…) In fact, as indicated in Table 7, by using transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TDU) in patients with EHS, we showed a decrease in the mean pulsatility index in one or both middle cerebral arteries, i.e., for one artery in 25% and 31% of the cases respectively for the right and left artery, and for both arteries in 50%. (...)” [page 8 of 20] “(…) Moreover, by using ultrasonic cerebral tomosphygmography (UCTS) applied to the temporal lobes [12], we showed there is a significant decrease in mean pulsometric index in the middle cerebral artery-dependent tissue areas of these lobes, especially in the capsulo-thalamic area, which corresponds to the limbic system and the thalamus [12]. (...)” [page 9 of 20] My hypothesis, as a layperson, could be that RF/EMF exposure leads to a further reduction in blood flow to parts of the brain at EHS-patients, and this causes the symptoms described above.

I submit this comment as an independent researcher to recommend a mechanism-resolved federal research program investigating potential biological effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF/EMF), with particular attention to neurovascular function, mechanotransduction, and interactions between electromagnetic and acoustic exposures. The central methodological problem is the frequent conflation of exposure, biological response, and causal mechanism. Demonstrating an exposure does not establish injury. Demonstrating a physiological response does not, by itself, identify the mechanism responsible. I recommend that federal research prioritize experiments designed to distinguish competing explanations rather than merely accumulate observations that cannot be compared across laboratories. Specifically, I propose a controlled, factorial experimental framework incorporating sham exposure, acoustic exposure alone, RF exposure alone, and combined acoustic/RF exposure, together with appropriate thermal, mechanical, and equipment-artifact controls. The combined-exposure condition is especially important. A possible interaction between physical stimuli cannot be established by studying either stimulus independently. Investigators should explicitly test whether combined effects differ from predictions under a prespecified additive model. Candidate biological endpoints include endothelial permeability, calcium signaling, barrier-associated protein localization, inflammatory signaling, and measures of neurovascular function. Mechanosensitive ion channels and integrin-associated signaling are among the pathways warranting investigation. These pathways are proposed research targets, not established explanations of RF-associated neurological injury. I further recommend standardized exposure reporting that preserves waveform characteristics, modulation, pulse timing, field strength, exposure geometry, temperature, acoustic conditions, and measurement uncertainty. Where relevant, temporal structure should be preserved rather than reduced to average intensity alone. Federal agencies should coordinate reproducible protocols, preregistered endpoints, blinded assessment, independent replication, and public reporting of negative findings. A shared reference dataset linking precisely characterized physical exposures to experimentally measured biological outcomes would improve scientific comparability and enable independent evaluation of competing mechanisms. The objective should not be to validate a predetermined conclusion about RF/EMF exposure. It should be to establish which effects are reproducible, under what conditions they occur, and which mechanisms survive rigorous experimental controls. My attached memorandum provides the proposed experimental framework, measurement priorities, research coordination recommendations, and falsifiability criteria in greater detail.

I am a retired RN Emergency room nurse for over 45 years. I was a photographer for many years and began full time after I retired. In order to processes my prints, I used lightroom classic on my home computer. Medically I have had intermittent vertigo spells for over 20 years which I have kept managed with physical therapy and other. In 2024 I was struggling to processes my prints on my computer with a new processing system I had obtained. Due to spending hours working on my prints, I had noticed every time I worked on my computer, I became dizzy, agitated with profound nausea and vertigo episodes. I discussed this with my neurologist why this might be happening to me? The reason was uncertain, but I was told to take many breaks away from the computer screen and return later to finish. At a later date we had computer problems and hired a computer expert to come and fix our system. The Tech noted that we had our Wi-Fi router sitting right behind our computer screen, he told us to move this to possibly help my symptoms. We then paid over 2000 dollars, to have our house hard wired to decrease our exposure to RF radiation after hours of research. I immediately felt improvement and was able to use the computer for hours with absolutely no dizziness, vertigo agitation or nausea. Since then, we had purchased a TriField EMF meter, model TF2 to analyze our exposure in our home, very low exposure was noted. We then went out and took readings of local cell towers and were horrified at the RF radiation that was emitting from these cell sites and surrounding homes. Many of these towers were located near or on school property, daycares and neighborhoods. Minden for safe tech was started with locals, and we hired a lawyer and RF specialist to fight Verizon from placing a tower 210 feet from our largest and voted best daycare in Minden. (85 out of 105 parents signed a petition to stop this) Minden for safe tech has spent thousands of dollars of our own money to stop cell towers placement in sensitive areas in Minden. TO DATE there has NEVER been any safety testing done to see if RF exposure harms children. The FCC was sued in 2021 for basically having a 30-year-old outdated inadequate study on humans and to this date they are still not producing any studies of human exposure to RF radiation. Verizon is being sued in California for 7.7 million dollars for NOT maintaining and controlling cell sites for HAZARDOUS WASTE. As a nurse for over 45 years, I am completely flabbergasted that the citizens of America are being exposed to dangerous levels of RF radiation without current studies or regulations to keep these cell towers at a safe distance from sensitive areas. In 2021 11,000 pages of studies from around the world were entered in the 2021 federal court hearing, stating RF exposure did cause harm, and cancer rates increased along with many other health concerns. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED?? Cell phones are emitting RF radiation along with our Wi-fi units but we can personally mitigate all these exposures ourselves like my husband and I did, but a cell tower emits continuous RF radiation 24/7 to all that live close to a tower and nothing they do can mitigate the RF radiation coming from those towers. This is hideous that the FCC does this and has no concern for the public. The FCC can sue local government if they do not allow cell towers to be installed in their community. I am sorry how would you like it if nurses did not look out for your best interest and safety??? This is completely inconceivable to me again as a nurse to have had patient safety pounded into my head to protect you the public and yet the FCC can pillage over the public without any safe guidelines for the RF radiation exposure we all receive. THEIR SAFETY STUDIES ARE 30 YEARS OUTDATED please do something about this! The FCC is running amok across the United States erecting these dangerous cell towers with no one supervising their installation for safety and environmental hazards. The FCC regulations are outdated and unsafe, yet they communicate to our local governments that they follow safe FCC guidelines. How come we cannot deny a local cell tower location due to health or environmental issues then? The FCC was given a pass on this! I find this completely unreasonable, unsafe and preferential treatment for the FCC and an enormous disparity for the public and our children. I challenge the FCC to do a complete safety study on people living under 2000 feet near a cell tower and see that the cases of Cancer can increase up to 17% as studies in Iseral and Germany had documented along with other health concerns ignored by the FCC. Disgraceful! Please regulate cell tower distance from sensitive areas and REQUIRE the FCC to do current safety testing on humans. The FCC cannot run amok! There is so much evidence out there that RF exposure causes harm from around the world please look into it. Thank-you for this chance voice our concerns.

I am a Targeted Individual which started in July 2021. They use Directed Energy Weapons on me. It started with Voice to Skull. I would here all day long what sounded like drums playing off in the distance. All day long this went on for months. Then it was on and off for years at the same time I was being targeted with Sursetzung. Break ins to my house. I was poisoned a couple times with my food, breakins to my car. I was being followed everywhere I went. Drugged when I was out with friends.. Then on October 4, 2025 they started hitting me with Directed Energy Weapons. Microwave r Radiation Attacks to different parts of my body. Every night for the past year. They attack my heart, my lungs. When I wake up in the morning, I can't breathe, right. I feel weak dizzy. My body feels like it can't put itself back together and function properly. It is like it has been depleted of everything. All vitamins and everything I need to keep myself healthy. They attack my heart. My heart will be racing i will have palpitations. The worst is you cannot control it you can not slow your heart down. They attack my head, I will be dizzy with brain fog. My eyesight will be blurry. It is very hard to accomplish normal activity. They attack my wrists, hands, hips, feet, ankles. I believe they are trying to shatter certain parts of my body so I will be incapacitated. This way I cannot protect myself from the radiation. And the question is, if I have to have an operation because of this. They will still attack me and I will never heal! Infection pneumonia sepsis. I think that is the plan for my death by them. This is horrible you lay there n bed while there attacking you destroying your tissue, bone, lungs, heart, brain. Your waiting to shatter into a million pieces. Or waiting for that cancer diagnoses. You lay there knowing there is nothing you can do to stop them. There killing you and know one believes you. You can't say anything because then your crazy and committed to a phsyc ward. Thank you for listening to my story. Thank you for being a true HERO to all American citizens.

In 1996 the telecom industry got a law passed to bring toxic wireless radiation to market with no safety testing, and no accountability for harm. The science now shows neurotoxicity, infertility and more! I am crying out: stop this madness now! It's been 30 years in the making but we now have an unprecedented short window with both the Federal Communications Commission AND Health and Human Services to build the public record and document the fallout.

I couldn’t get over how the utility wouldn’t remove something that was waking me up and known to be a contributor to my new health issues. Was there any compassion? They must have been annoyed with my pleas every other day. Did anyone care? The news outlets wouldn’t listen and just made fun of me. Attorneys that I spoke with had never heard of such a thing. Nobody had written a book on how to deal with this. It was similar to an episode of the Twilight Zone. After finding the “Milgram Experiment” I promptly took on the nickname for my handle in comments section in articles about sleep and health issues. Trying to get the information out about the smart meter. My day consisted of eating, sleeping, and research. I bought cases of paper and printed everything I could find to explain why this was happening to me. I went over to my parents house and asked them about waking up at this odd 3am hour and found that they too were experiencing the same. My mother had been experiencing migraines. Then I asked my sister who lived next door and she was also waking at the same time plus she was experiencing tinnitus. Next, was a brother down the street and then another brother across the street along with a sister far down the street and everyone was waking at the same time. I covered the neighborhood checking to see if anyone else was having the same problem. It took me two weeks to survey 38 homes and out of the 38, just 32 were experiencing waking up at the same time. I tried to be as nonbiased as possible asking “are you noticing recently waking up in the middle of the night?” All 32 said yes and some told me the exact time I was experiencing. Some wondered why their dogs would bark in the 3am hour. The six that hadn’t noticed a difference had always suffered from insomnia. It started off with noticing my hair falling out as it would drop on printed pages while reading the research papers. I found it easier to read hard copies rather than on a computer. That info can be found today at a website now called zoryglaser.com. The papers went everywhere with me and I couldn’t stop reading. They of course were showed to my friends and family to the point of burning everyone out. My brother-in-law is an MD and he told me that I should probably get my head checked out. So I gave him a stack of what I was reading and he didn’t look at any of it. The programming was real. As time went on my symptoms got worse as heart palpitations, tinnitus, eczema, IBS, acid reflux, leg cramps in the middle of the night, memory loss, bleeding gums, loose teeth, root canals, numbness in hands and sometimes face upon waking, blurry vision, depression, vertigo especially when waking up in the middle of the night set in. Weird dreams and nightmares were now common and I was exhausted not being able to sleep for more than just a couple of hours. I kept pleading with the utility and all they did was send me a box of CFL bulbs. Of course they were changed out to replace my safe incandescent bulbs not knowing that they were increasing my exposure drastically. The symptoms are ramping up. My skin is pale and pasty and I have dark circles around my eyes, the migraines are everyday, all day, and the tinnitus is getting worse and I’m seriously contemplating to just end it all. Fortunately I came across a website called justproveit.org. The message was to shut the power off to the whole house while sleeping. I had already tried wrapping the smart meter with aluminum foil and placing foil on the bedroom wall but that didn’t work. So I shut the power off and finally slept through the night for the first time in a few months feeling like I was a kid again with joy in my heart when waking. It was such a great feeling that I did it again. Wow! I thought this is really incredible stuff. Then I experienced a really big let down, one day soon after doing this experiment, I woke up feeling like garbage again. As I went out to the breaker box, to turn the breakers back on, I was surprised to see that I had forgot to shut the breakers off. This happened a couple more times and after those poor experiences the mistake didn’t happen often again. I bought a tent, mattress, and sleeping bag and headed up to the forest to sleep in nature. The feeling was a relief of stress and the tinnitus quieted but unfortunately I would have to return to the city the next day only to go through the misery again. There was a video on YouTube that showed an audible tone while measuring a smart meter. I slowed down the video and found the brand and bought an HF38B. It would be with me everywhere and turned on typically when my body felt stressed. At the time I was convinced it was all about wireless, but come to find out years later the wireless was not as bad as the supraharmonics exposure the smart meter and CFL bulbs were creating.

Baby monitors influence on sleep. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpubh.2024.1481537 "Does radiofrequency radiation impact sleep? A double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, crossover pilot study" ... "Materials and methods Study design Radiofrequency device, exposure set-up, and power dosimetry The study involved a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover design over 4 weeks on healthy adults at their homes in Melbourne, Australia. We compared 7 consecutive all-night exposure to either an active or inactive (sham) pulse-modulated radiofrequency device. The device used was a commercially available Uniden baby monitor (BW 3001 model), consisting of a digital wireless monitor and digital wireless camera with two-way walkie talkie capability. This device has a transmitting power of 15 dBm and employs a frequency range of 2.4 to 2.4835 GHz using a frequency-hopping spread spectrum system (FHSS) with Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying (GFSK) modulation to avoid interference. The units were tested prior to randomisation to determine the level of radiation emitted. This was done by placing them two metres apart and using a Gigahertz HF59B Analyser with UBB27 omnidirectional antenna (frequency range between 27 MHz to 3.3 GHz) and a Gigahertz HFW59D Analyser with UBB2410 omnidirectional antenna (frequency range between 2.4 GHz and 10 GHz). The metres were set at Peak and Peak Hold to establish the minimum and maximum levels over the course of 1 h, which were determined to be between 2.2 and 7 mW/m2. This is well within the International Commission for Non-Ionising Radiation Protection public guidelines of 10 W/m2 for frequencies above 2 GHz within the far field zone averaged over 30 min and the whole body (37)." ... "Results While the goal was to recruit 20 participants, due to the strict inclusion criteria and impact of the pandemic, data from only 12 participants were evaluated. Summary statistics for the primary and secondary outcome measures are outlined in Table 1. Sleep quality as indicated by the PIRS-20 was found to be significantly reduced during RF-EMF exposure compared to placebo exposure (p < 0.05) as illustrated in Figure 2. Three participants (27.3%) scored above the cut off of 20 (out of a total score of 60 for PIRS-20) for risk of clinical insomnia. The raw single-channel EEG signal derived from the Z-machine was converted to EDF format and analysed using Curry 7 EEG analysis software (Compumedics Pty Ltd). The EEG signal was high/low pass filtered (.3 Hz/70 Hz) with a 50 Hz notch filter. Compared to sham-exposure, during the RF-EMF exposure, a statistically significant increase (p < 0.5) in EEG power density in the higher frequencies (theta, beta and gamma bands) was detected during Non-Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) sleep but not in Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep. No differences were observed in HRV or actigraphy. When asked, only 44% correctly identified the week with the active intervention."
