ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I had an electric smart meter installed against my will and I got really bad after this two days after that my head started beeping for another 3 days I got pressure on my chest had to go to the hospital in an ambulance and nothing was found and after another 3 days I got it again and then had heart fibrillation which went away by itself in the middle of the night and I have always had these problems before I am physically active I run and cycle I am 60 years old I still have beeping in my head but this goes away if I leave home after a few days I have sued the electricity company but the court announced the case and no one believes me and it is completely crazy that it is allowed to happen like this there are EU rules 2019 /944 art 22 which gives me the right to use a traditional electricity meter but all the authorities turn a blind eye to this Tomas Nilsson Sweden

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
1. & 2. I am responding as: an individual 3a. Type of wireless or RF/EMF sources involved (e.g., mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters…)WiFi 3b. Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years):Since it became ubiquitous in people's homes - over a decade. 3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced:Insomnia, vertigo, restlessness, panic attacks. 3d. Time from first exposure to first appearance of adverse health effects; and did a change in exposure coincide with the onset of adverse effects:Immediately started experiencing insomnia. Over time, other side effects occurred, including vertigo, restlessness, and panic attacks when exposed. 3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis?No, because the medical field doesn't acknowledge the harmful effects of EMF radiation. 3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects?Yes, I only use hardwired internet in my home and unplug the WiFi router when traveling. However, if I am unable to unplug the router when traveling or visiting friends, I experience the negative effects. 3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information:I think Authur Firstenburgs epic work, Going Somewhere, provides more than enough scientific evidence. Additional Details you would like to share about your experiences of adverse health effects you believe to be associated with exposure to wireless radiation or EMF's: B1a. Sources you experience as causing you Adverse Effects:WiFi, Cell phones, Cell towers B1b. Sources you can sense, but don't seem to harm you:Electric cars B1c. Sources you can use without sensing or being harmed:None B1d. Sources that seem to provide benefit (i.e., electrotherapy):Taking baths in saltwater, getting in water, being in nature, direct sunlight exposure to the eyes and skin B2a. Health conditions you think may contribute to your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless:I do not have any health conditions ie no chronic disease, no specific health issues aside from EMF sensitivity. B2b. Health conditions you don't necessarily associate with your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless, but might be relevant:PTSD from car accident resulting in a TBI B3. For each subquestion please list up to 5 drugs or therapies or home remedies (if any) B3a. That you recommend, as they helped you tolerate or recover from EMF exposure:Taking baths in saltwater, getting in water, being in nature, direct sunlight exposure to the eyes and skin; homeopathy, acupuncture B3b.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I, Morgan K, submit this filing as testimony and consideration the the HHS review of radio frequency and electro magnetic frequencies which include wifi routers, smart meters, cellular towers, 5g, 4g, 3g, 2.6g, all smart phones and cellular phones, fiber optics, wifi towers and antennaes. I am extremely concerned for the health of myself, my children, my pets and all humans who are subject to very detrimental and damaging frequencies that have been overtly studied and found to cause extreme disease, cancer and even death. I have been experiencing negative effects from RF since I was 18 years old when I began to notice terrible headaches any time I would use my celllular phone to my head. I soon began to notice that the DECT cordless phone would cause me to have insomnia if I did not unplug them and take the batteries out. Some of my primary concerns are cell towers, antennas and wifi towers within 5 miles of homes and schools. My children and I have suffered from RF exposure that caused headaches and migraines, dizziniess, inabiltiy to focus, learning difficulties and disabilities, insomnia, elevated cortisol levels, extreme heating to the head and more. Findings from many studies including the ones I have attached to this filing show without a down that these inorganic frequencies are causing these symptoms and more. They are also causing infertility, birth defects and long term impact on unborn children. As stated in the paper titled A review of potential health risks of radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure from mobile phones and base stations in children and pregnant women (see attached), "It has been reported that chronic exposure to low-intensity GSM-like radiation (900 MHz) in female Sprague–Dawley rats shows mixed outcomes. There have been no pathological changes in Short-term studies, whereas long-term studies indicate significant reduction in survival (~9%)." So even lower frequencies as low as DECT 900mHz cordless phones pose a huge risk to humans and the environment. My mother has been effected by these dangerous frequencies when she was diagnosed with cancer. The correlation between RF and Cancer has been demonstrated by the studies I have attached to this filing as well as in many others. I strongly urge HHS and the FCC, under the weight and consideration of the scientific evidence, find the current RF exposure limits are deleterious and completely insufficient to public health and the environment. They should be dramatically lowered to reflect the science and the findings of science and people's irrefutable experiences from around the world that were previously dimissed and disregarded by the Commision. Thank you, Morgan K

The commenter reports improved sleep after smart-meter removal and similar experiences among friends, des…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am writing to let you know how EMF's, RF Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure have personally impacted me, plus share their impact on several of my friends. I admit that I am addressing them as an entity, as I do not have access to technology that can single out any one risk to life. But I do have access to my own life experience. "Smart" electric meter: Duke Energy installed one on my house without my prior knowledge. Subsequently, I began to experience frequent awakening during the night; the "smart" meter was located at the far end of my home, away from my bedroom. After a convoluted process involving Duke Energy and notarized paperwork from my primary care physician, I was finally able to get it replaced with a manual read meter, resulting in improved sleep. Two friends of mine both experienced major sleep disruption as they live in a condo with "smart" meters just outside their bedrooms. One has now moved out and is experiencing improved energy and health. The other, financially unable to relocate, created his own inside protections to help shield his bedroom; he, too, is experiencing improved health and functioning. Cell towers: the more that go up, the worse I feel. My personal symptoms include awakening suddenly in the middle of the night with a vibrating, quivering, physical sensation in my chest and abdomen of several minutes duration. Please note that three male friends, of varying ages and with whom I compare such experiences, all experienced similar sensations on that same night around that same time. And this has recurred multiple times since. While it does not seem to be related to age or gender, it may have something to do with our more sensitive temperaments (all are empaths, three of us are healers). We've concluded that someone "turned up the juice" at those times. A woman whom I've met told me that she has to sleep in her car on the Blue Ridge Parkway to get a better night's sleep. Cell phones: have you ever witnessed a bright, personable child evolve into a zombi-like young teenager, after she was given a cell phone by her grandparents (against the wishes of her parents)? I have. It's tragic. Just look around. So many people are glued to their devices. Real human interactions are becoming rare. I've been close to being rear-ended while driving and yup, that person was looking at her cell phone. With more and more cell towers being installed, increasing network strength, plus mandatory "smart" meters for water and propane with no opt-outs, neighbors' Ring doorbells, Flock and other surveillance cameras...where do we go to escape for our health and our very lives??? For the sake of all Life and the future of our fragile Earth, I implore you to investigate this and to establish updated, appropriate regulations--not only regarding what these major energetic disruptions are doing to humans, but also to our declining bees and pollinators, birds, various wildlife and soils. Perhaps this is part of the agenda to reduce population; but do you have children and grandchildren and those whom you love? Thank you for your consideration of these matters.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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 member of the public. The pervasive increase in wireless radiation has eroded my, and numerous friend's wellbeing. Confusion/poor concentration, tinnitus, fatigue, muscle weakness, and insomnia have become issues as no where I can go anymore is safe. My home which is supposed to be my sanctuary but is flooded with fields no matter how much I turn off, unplug, and how many circuit breakers I switch off. 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, 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.

Describes a husband's neurological illness and death after digital-meter installation, electrical-noise c…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Digital meters were put on our homes in Oklahoma in 2014 and my husband died in early 2017 diagnosed with bulbar ALS and mononeuritis multiplex. He could not talk, eat, drink. after he died i added a sine tamer filter to our home circuit box and home stetzer readings were 50 until this year when i changed internet to fiberoptic. readings were 1999 (the max the stetzerizer meter reads). the router is dirty and was not filtered or shielded and added lot of dirty electricity to my home wiring. my home is 40 years old and does not work well with corrosive microwave radiation. i bought shielded surge protectors and only turn router on when using and have it in a faraday cages. home outlet readings are about 250-300 now (25-50 normal). Spent 3 days in Maine at 3 major hotels that all read 1999 on stetzerizer meter and the rooms all had loud locust sound from acoustic nature of fiberoptics. came home and did labs.my nitrotyrosine was double over the max value and my iron saturation very low as well and other values not normal. i took molecular hydrogen to fix the iron and NAC with selenium and molybdenum for nitrotyosine for 2 months and other supplements like glutathione and coQ10 that help with the electron transport system. i take supplements every day to try to stay detoxed. i truly believe that by not testing labs completely for nitrotyrosine (very difficult to do in the USA) and nitric oxide and do complete thyroid and not just TsH /T4 (also not done in USA like should be) if body temperature lower than 98.6 then take tyrosine and iodine (T4 wont fix it) cause reversible T3 needs fixing and thyroglobulins affected)) and do complete iron and correcting it with molecular hydrogen and lactoferrin cause the charge needs fixing back to Fe4 electron transport from Fe3 storage. iron is paramagnetic and emf causes rouleaux effect and affects the charge and then iron gets stuck at neuromuscular junction at motor cortex and cant change from chemical to electrical so does not function as it should as iron and enzymes systems wont work. pilots are exposed to nonionizing and ionizing radiation. My husband flew a lot. must protect pilots because they sleep in these toxic hotels and are becoming suicidal more. plus just their occupation has cumulative effect and they should be tested annual for nitrotyrosine levels and detox. test complete thyroid and iron level and fix their tyrosine and iodine levels and body temperature and filter and shield these dirty electricity hotel rooms. look at zinc/copper ratio- magnesium cause calcium goes intracellular thru calcium voltage gates causes Blood brain barrier capillary leak issue and neurodegenerative diseases (use vit D, K2, Omega 3) Do a complete amino acid profile annual and fix those. Taurine detoxes myeloperoxidase, histidine for RA, sulforaphane for NRF2 activation, citrulline and beets for nitric oxide, glutathione and blueberry for glutamate, SOD superoxide dismutase major antioxidant for free radicals, pregnenolone for myelin sheath, CoQ10 and PQQ for electron transport system, methylated B Complex with C to help recharge body battery. For areas with high emf, look at dentist offices, the malls, pharmacies with pharmacists standing in front of laser printers and pharmacists losing babies, perhaps use of faraday cages in order, airports and scanners and planes and pilots. look at hard wiring home instead of wifi but harder now to buy a laptop with ethernet connection, its our world blanketed in emf/ rfr /wireless so we must protect ourselves and call these problems that come with it what it is. start testing and treating it for what it is before we all die. i really miss John.

Reports sleep and stress symptoms after a neighboring tower installation, perceived partial benefit from …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
1. & 2. I am responding as: an individual 3a. Type of wireless or RF/EMF sources involved (e.g., mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters…)Since 2008 a lot of exposure to WiFi and mobile phones (work). Last year: New cell phone tower on neighbor building 3b. Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years):New >3Ghz cell phone tower (European non-nanometer 5G), since over one year. 3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced:Bad sleep quality, high stress level, constantly feeling exhausted, chronic issues worsened 3d. Time from first exposure to first appearance of adverse health effects; and did a change in exposure coincide with the onset of adverse effects:It was noticeable in the days after the new cell phone sender/receiver was installed 3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis?Yes, no clear diagnosis, symptoms were attributed to high stress level (flare up) 3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects?I bought an expensive device to "neutralize" the negative effects of the EMF and it did help to a degree where I could get somewhat decent sleep again. I am now in the process of moving out of this apartment. 3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information:I have an "e-Spion" meter, an analog HF meter. It was basically impossible to measure anything as the EMF level was way beyond the maximum range of the meter. That was the case before already, so I could not tell a difference from before/after as the device is too sensitive for the intensity in this apartment. Additional Details you would like to share about your experiences of adverse health effects you believe to be associated with exposure to wireless radiation or EMF's:I believe there is a connection between chronic infections (EBV, Bartonella, Lyme, Helminths...), heavy metals and EMF. That combination seems to be especially detrimental to health. And possibly when adding spike protein – it becomes a very toxic mix. B1a. Sources you experience as causing you Adverse Effects:Holding a phone in the hand while charging has directly noticeable effect. B1b. Sources you can sense, but don't seem to harm you:When adding certain "neutralizers" to a cell phone, I can 'feel' a difference. And as I am highly skeptical of such devices, I doubt it's a placebo effect. B1c. Sources you can use without sensing or being harmed: B1d. Sources that seem to provide benefit (i.e., electrotherapy): B2a. Health conditions you think may contribute to your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless:Chronic infection (EBV, Bartonella, mold toxins) B2b. Health conditions you don't necessarily associate with your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless, but might be relevant: B3. For each subquestion please list up to 5 drugs or therapies or home remedies (if any) B3a. That you recommend, as they helped you tolerate or recover from EMF exposure:Toxopheresis (INUSpherese) to get rid of heavy metals. B3b. That you recommend, but you’re not positive that they help:GABA, Theanine, NAC, Glutathione, Apigenine and other plant extracts. Reducing EMF by using shungite powder mixed in wall paint (only one room, but that already made a difference). B3c. That helped you but you don’t recommend. (e.g., the benefit did not last long or the side effects were too harmful): B3d. Treatments that had no effect:Generally: Detoxing too fast or when dealing with LPS carrying bacteria, killing those off too quickly B3e. Treatments that made your sensitivity worse:35-44 B4. What is your age range?35-44 B5. What year did you become aware of your sensitivity to wireless radiation or electromagnetic fields?2010 B6. What country, state, province, or major city were you living in when you first noticed your sensitivity to wireless or electromagnetic fields?Germany, Mannheim

Why? Please see this page for details as to why: www.synkrografik.com/synkrografik_opportunity.html Whether steps to reduce or eliminate exposure were taken & whether changes in adverse health effects were observed: We have tried to reduce/eliminate exposure. However, it's difficult because we live in an apartment building right downtown; we are pretty much surrounded. Any other info, doc or pictures: I live together with our mom in the city of Gothenburg, Sweden and have my sister on the other side of town. Regardless, symptoms such as tinnitus, blurred vision, heartburn, etc, occurr no matter where. On a regular basis, I visit Copenhagen, Denmark and we experience similar things even there (tinnitus, etc)--it's tiresome! My name is Magnus Palmgren and my mail is: synkrografik.info@proton.me I am--our whole family is--so grateful for the opportunity to tell you about our experience. Thank you!

Reports electromagnetic hypersensitivity, relocation from New York, cardiac and sensory symptoms attribut…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am writing as an individual consumer/patient and am hypersensitive to electromagnetic radiation. I had lived in NYC for several decades but had to move out (to a small town in a rural area) when wifi was installed on the subways in NYC, and many were using their cell phones on the subway. (People get around in NYC primarily by public transportation so the subways are generally crowded.) I moved out in September 2019. My symptoms when exposed to RF/EMF are cardiac and tingling in my hands and feet. An additional likely symptom, based on an overnight EEG which showed a “blip of a partial seizure,” is that my brain becomes “irritable.” I develop a weird sensation in my heart when exposed to cell phones. If the exposure is strong enough and long enough, the sensation flips into an arrhythmia. It is much worse in a confined space where the cell phone puts out a stronger signal. The worst incident of this happened when a friend drove me from NYC to Hudson, the small town where I now live. She used GPS on her cell phone for the entire trip which was maybe 1 to 1 1/2 hours even though I asked her to turn it off. I developed a severe arrhythmia which continued for 6 to 8 months after the exposure on the drive. I saw a cardiologist to evaluate same, but it took months to get the appointment since the provider came to Hudson from Albany only occasionally. By the time I saw her, the arrhythmia had stopped. After testing, she said that my heart was “strong” and that the prolonged arrhythmia was the result of exposure to a “stress”—obviously the cell phone radiation in a confined space. If I walk down the one main street in the little town where I now live on a sunny day—when lots of people are always out walking many looking at their cell phones, I develop the “weird sensation” in my heart so I can only walk on the lovely main street at night or on a rainy day when few people are out and so there is little cell phone exposure. Neurological symptoms include tingling in my hands and feet even when exposed to even relatively minor amount of RF/EMF. The other likely neurological symptom started when cell phone towers first went up. I saw a neurologist for another symptom, and he ordered an overnight EEG. He said that on the overnight EEG, I had a “blip of a partial seizure.” He said that I did not have a seizure disorder but rather that my brain was “irritable.” I then told him about recent experiences of being a block or two away from my apartment building, where everything looked familiar, but for a minute, I could not figure out how to get back to my apartment building. Then I would know how to get back. In a similar manner, when I changed subway trains, I sometimes would have a minute in which I could not figure out how to get from one train to another even though I had changed trains in the same place hundreds of times. Then it would come back. The neurologist said that this was the “blip of a partial seizure.” I started taking two capsules of magnesium taurate 3X per day, and this stopped these episodes. When I tried to stop early on, these episodes would return so I have been taking the magnesium taurate ever since. I do not know for sure that my brain being “irritable” was caused by RF/EMF, but it seems likely.
