ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Majority of you are regular citizens like the rest of us, with families. You live amongst us. These towers are killing wildlife by disorienting them, and equally impacts humans. We feel nausea, headaches, depression and a result. Please keep them out and take down the ones in place. Dont let AIPAC bought politicians destroy us. Thank you.

A parent and healthcare professional reports observations of disoriented birds and friends’ health proble…

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 mother, a healthcare professional, and a concerned member of society. I have seen negative effects of wireless radiation in videos of birds who are clearly disoriented going near a 5G tower. I also have witnessed friends who were unfortunate enough to have a 5G tower built near their home, have countless increased health issues since the installation. The whole family experienced increased headaches, vision problems, sleeping problems. After test after test gave them no answers, they acquired a meter that measured the radiation and it was off the charts. They promptly put the house on the market. We were shocked to discover there have been NO studies done to test the safety of these towers. We need to protect our children. Please consider examining the 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.

The commenter reports severe migraines during prolonged occupational cordless-phone use, improvement afte…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Dear Officials, I am writing to submit my personal testimony regarding the adverse health effects I have experienced, which I believe are closely associated with prolonged radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure and urban electromagnetic field (EMF) environments. Part 1: Occupational Exposure and Neurological Symptoms For approximately 5 years, I worked in a medical office where my duties required me to hold a cordless phone to my ear for 3 to 6 hours a day, 5 days a week. Due to strict patient privacy regulations, I could not use the speakerphone function. During this period, I began suffering from severe, debilitating migraines, occurring 1 to 2 times per month. The pain consistently originated from the area just above my right ear and irradiated across the trigeminal, orbital, temporomandibular, and cervical regions. The pain felt as though it emanated from either the area above the ear or from the top-central part of my head. It was strictly unilateral (affecting only the right side). These episodes were accompanied by intense "electric shock" sensations that spread across my entire cervical fascia, lasting for about 4 days. During these crises, the pain caused severe gastric distress, making it impossible to eat or move. Relief was only achieved by lying in a completely dark and silent room, pressing the affected eye against a warm pillow. Mild massages or heat applied to the top of my head provided slight, a temporary light comfort. In terms of medical management, paracetamol offered minor relief only after 5 to 6 hours, without resolving the electric shock sensations. Conversely, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), specifically nimesulide, consistently alleviated the pain and the electric shocks within 20 to 30 minutes. Part 2: Cessation of Exposure and Symptom Resolution After approximately 7 years, I left that employment, which completely terminated my daily, prolonged use of the telephone. While I maintain a mobile phone, I strictly avoid placing it near my head. I rarely make calls, and when necessary, I use a tubeless airtube headset or utilize the speakerphone function, keeping the device at a distance of at least 50 to 60 centimeters. Within 12 months of terminating that occupation and changing my wireless habits, the severe migraines began to subside significantly. I do not take other medications, I do not smoke, and I maintain a very balanced, healthy diet and a calm lifestyle. Through careful observation, I have ruled out other potential lifestyle or medical variables. Part 3: Environmental Sensitivity and Urban Re-exposure Over the past 15 years, I have observed a consistent, repeating pattern regarding my environment. Every August, I reside in a secluded coastal and mountainous area characterized by a very low density of routers, low vehicular traffic, GPS tracker, and low population density. In this environment, my physical health completely regenerates, and I experience high levels of physical energy. However, upon returning to the large city where I currently reside, I experience an immediate and severe physical decline from the very first day. The sensation is described as a persistent, distressing "burning" feeling in the brain, accompanied by a constant state of neurological tension, alert, and over-stimulation that prevents any real rest. This systemic stress causes gastric burning and profound fatigue, rendering me unable to perform simple daily tasks. Upon my return to the city this year, I suffered a continuous 9-day migraine crisis. My systematic observations over fifteen years confirm that a isolated, low-EMF environment restores my health, whereas the high-density urban environment consistently causes exhaustion and severe pain. I urge federal health and communications agencies to thoroughly investigate the biological mechanisms underlying these exposure patterns, to acknowledge the reality of environmental sensitivities, and to implement protective standards, particularly regarding long-term occupational exposure and CEM/radiation density. Sincerely.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Any human (i.e. biological being), with even a modicum of awareness/physical-sensory sensitivity, must weigh on the side of energetic impacts assaulting our bodies-- scrambling,heating,actually burning (e.g.from using hand-held devices), interfering with mentation & lowering mood processes, causing dizziness, nausea & growing 'dis-ease' that eventualy piles up into disease effects. From devices (i.e. cellphones-ironic name), to ubiquitous phone towers, the EMF emissions pouring out of them are disrupting in a very damaging way, human cellular biology, thus, health-- in my strong opinion & equally-strong intuiting-- AND,based on actual evidence in physical experiencing of some of the above, & direct observation of others (e.g. what I have repeatedly seen & now call, "red ear") in a multitude of people continuously wearing digital earbud microphones)-- like their ears are being microwaved (imagine what's going on in their brains)! This technology is NOT GOOD for human consumption!! That it is allowed to proliferate as a 21s C.industry (for the profit of 'a select few tech-profiteering enterprises'), forcing the population at large-- and, now drivingbus into us now into a sickening Data Center buildout, is a distinct death knell for humanity, if we do not collectively take note & defend human biology over digitalized AI Everything poisoning of Life....

A commenter identifying as a neuroscientist with traumatic brain injury describes strong reactions to EMF…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hello and I’m so grateful to you guys for allowing this submission.. I’ve been praying for someone to hear… I am one of so many people with TBI (traumatic brain injury) who react very strongly to EMF… Our systems are very sensitive and most of us struggle in life so that we don’t have extra energy to put in complaints… Most individuals with TBI have their hypothalamus effected… Hypothalamus is the control center for the body’s regulation, and with it being compromised, gets severely affected by the disturbances of EMF to the body.. Most of us cannot tolerate fluorescent light, high usage of cell phone phones or living around cell towers… There are so many individuals affected by TBI who don’t even realize that they have TBI because injuries to their skull happened when they were very young or they were not given importance to at the time… Most never get tested and diagnosed… This is a silent, even majority perhaps.. I am a neuroscientist with TBI, that is how I know what my issue was… I’m in my 60s and it took all my life to figure out what caused me to struggle so much in life… Most of us don’t get an opportunity to get an education, please help our community.. we get focus issues, frequent nausea, migraines, irregular heartbeat, cancer, digestion issues, etc., etc. Thank you so much.

The commenter attributes seizures and lasting brain injury to Bluetooth hearing aids, reports subsequent …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Injured party: Anthony Stroup Responsible party: Widex – USA Point of sale: Cory Workman / Community Hearing Center Estes Park, CO. 80517 Date of seizure hospitalization’s: 1/26/2023, 9/9/2023, 12/20/2023 have led to permanent brain damage, with multiple injuries and new mental conditions. To Whom it may concern, PRIOR TO BEING FITTED WITH BLUETOOTH HEARING AIDS, I WAS MENTALLY FIT, AND PHYSICALLY ABLE TO PERFORM AT A HIGH LEVEL OF ABILITIES, CAPABLE TO DOING A NUMBER OF TYPES OF EMPLOYMENT. TODAY IT IS A STRUGGLE TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE DAY OR ACHIEVE A TINY FRACTION OF DAILY TASK'S. As a result of this Bluetooth Wireless product and manufacturer negligence, In 2023, my life was forever changed due to a brain injury causing massive damages. The physical and emotional toll has been devastating for myself and my wife. While wearing your product in 2023, I went to ER 4 times, 3 times by EMS, and 2 times in Intensive Care. I was fitted with a pair of Widex, Moment Sheer 220’s, and given no forewarning of the known risks of this product and not given any MSDS information. Following the use of these Widex ITC BT hearing aids I suddenly began to suffer silent seizures and Status Epilepticus grand mal seizures leading to brain damage. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23676765/ https://www.notebookcheck.net/250-scientists-sign-petition-warning-of-dangers-posed-by-AirPods-other-wireless-devices.413886.0.html |The failure to forewarn of these dangers has destroyed the lives and my wife and I, and causes unbearable misery since then and continues to do so, taking its toll on myself and my Wife as well. Studies on the effects of EMW’s on epileptic seizures have been done dating back to 2013 and beyond. The World Health Organization and scientists around the world have been sounding the alarm since 2009. It took my wife about 2 minutes to do an internet search and discover studies and information indicating that the BT Hearing Aids are the reason I’ve been having epileptic episodes and seizures. Yet I was not forewarned in the least, nor was I given any MSDS information, Which Widex tells me doesn’t exist for this product. I am now EMF sensitive to Wi-Fi /5G/Bluetooth etc. I cannot sleep under these EMF’s without being deathly ill when I wake up. Wi-Fi is all around me and I cannot escape exposure. This now triggers silent seizures that make my life a living hell. Many days have been spent non-functional and in extreme misery. I end each day terrified of what I will have to endure the next morning/day, then the misery begins. I open my eyes and begin my medication needs, while the hypertension grows and that triggers epilepsy and silent seizures. Nausea from my gut to my throat, dizziness and so much more, destroying all quality of life and replaced with extreme misery. The brain damage/Injury I have suffered from using Bluetooth hearing aids make living in today's world unbearable, and a constant attack on my well-being and quality of life. I lost my job when my boss learned these hearing aids had been causing me to have seizures. With that I lost a $500,000.00 life insurance policy. I have been evaluated by the Social Security Administration and found totally disabled and unfit to handle my own finances. Below you will find a summary of the damages to date: As a result of this using this product, I have incurred the following damages: Hospital / Medical ~ $160,000.00 Follow Up Care (Lifelong) Brain Injury/Damage Electromagnetic Sensitivity (ES) & Hypertension (EMH) – Uncontrolled Epilepsy Memory Loss Loss of recall & focal abilities Depression Lost Wages Lost Life Insurance – $500,000.00 Loss of hearing Pain and Suffering Loss of quality of life This wireless product has shown to cause harm. Manufacturer negligence has forever changed my life, and their product is a direct cause of my injuries, pain and suffering not to mention two List of Documentation • Deposition letter from a specialist Doctor and world class research center. (Dr. Elizabeth Seymour at The Environmental Health Center of Dallas) • Brain Scans from Amen Clinics , The world's largest database of functional brain scans, specifically using SPECT imaging, and uses this data to understand how people think, feel, and behave. • Moment Sheer 220 product serial number • Research data from 2013 indicating the danger of your products, and related information. • Hospital/Medical Bills (UBO4’s) • Social Security Administration Proof of Disability/Benefits. • Employment Termination papers from MDC Holdings Inc. (Richmond American Homes) This is a summary and not a comprehensive list of pain and suffering.

The commenter criticizes outdated exposure guidelines, calls for independent research on children, older …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
The federal guidelines that are used to determine the safety limits for exposure to wireless radiation are decades old and have not kept pace with the rapid expansion of wireless technology or the growing body of scientific research raising concerns about its effects on human health and the environment.  We must have more independent and rigorous transparent research for wireless radiation- particularly in populations such as children and the elderly.  Most of the outlined research was done 10-15 years ago- which is outdated especially since the phones and the internet have ramped up their radiation outputs. But looking at what has been already researched, I found one study which shows DNA strand damage from "industry accepted radiation levels".  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31138035/ There has been previous research into how EMF disrupts the immune system. I am concerned about this. More research is needed. I myself get severe headaches due to my sensitivity to the electromagnetic radiation.  I avoid staying near cell towers because of these headaches. When not near the towers,  I am headache free.   Thank you for finally looking into more up-to-date research so that others can also benefit.
