Neurological symptoms & sleep

My comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am a healthcare professional and patient advocate. Wireless radiation has affected me due to the small size of my residence and the devices which surround me. For the past year I have suffered sever sleep disturbances. After going through an inspection of my home by EMF specialist, I changed the distance of my internet and my bed with huge success. It has been eye opening how large an impact EMFs have on our bodies. Many people are not able to stay in their homes due to the impact. . 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.

I’ve been looking into this since my daughter’s Leukemia diagnosis 1.5 years ago. She was a healthy 13 year old and suddenly got sick. She was tested and has no genetic markers for leukemia. I started looking into EMF more when she started complaining of a headache every time she was on the school campus. I started asking around and it turns out once teenagers are on that campus, they become ill. Headaches, passing out, hear a buzzing sound, tumors and my daughter’s cancer have been reported. And that’s just what I’ve been tracking. There could be more. There are cell towers directly on campus and a block away at a firehouse that faces the school campus as well. My daughter also used wireless ear buds for quite some time before diagnosis but that never triggered a headache. I wonder if that also had an effect on her.

Me and my 8 yo son experienced headaches after the wifi router was on. I experience headaches if I use my ear pods after a prolonged use. I experienced a flair up on my immune disorder after the solar on the roof of our house was installed.

I am a concerned human being about the damage wireless and other types of radiation being emitted are doing to the environment and to people and ALL organisms. Plants, insects, and other animals are being negatively affected also. We know that we are all electromagnetic beings with a frequency. Insects navigate their world through frequency and plants do also. I suggest reading the book "The Invisible Rainbow" A History of Electricity and Life by Arthur Firstenberg to learn more on the topic if you are not familiar with this concept. Earth's natural resonance is around 8hz if I am correct. We are now bombarding ourselves with harsh debilitating and damaging frequencies and radiation at levels FAR exceeding that. Now blasting the Earth with radiation from sattelites in space, cell towers near and far, and devices in our hands or pockets 24-7, 365 days a year. Military installations like HAARP in Gakona, Alaska and dozens of others around the world are beaming high frequency transmissions into the ionisphere, disrupting our atmosphere and weather patterns and degrading our protective ozone layer which at this point is only at aboyt 30% of what it should be- thus allowing even more damaging rays of UVB and UVC to reach earth's surface. Rising cancer levels and other neurological diseases are skyrocketing. Trees, plants, humans and animals are being scorched and harmed by these rays. This is FACT not conjecture. Every rocket, bomb or sattelite launched tears yet another hole in the ozone layer. Militaries around the world including that of the USA- MUST be brought under control and these practices HALTED- if we are to have any hope of survival for our own species and that of all the other myriad and wonderful creatures inhabiting Earth. AI and data centers are now yet another threat to the equilibrium of the natural world upon which we ALL depend for LIFE itself and our survival. We are analog beings in an analog world. Humans have been greedy, foolish, selfish stewards of this planet.The race to digital supremacy will be omnicidal for us all. Including innocent plants and animals, sea creatures and insects who have had NO say in any of this. Do we want this to be our legacy?! I know I DON'T. I urge you to PLEASE begin to rein in and put a HALT to these harmful transmissions. Stop being lap dogs for the technology industry. Please do some dilligent and honest research into these matters. The digital age is NOT making things better for the human race or any of the other beings whose home is planet Earth.The lives you save may be your own or that of your families.Thank you for your consideration.

A Router Box was exchanged in the apartment from 4G to 5G from Spectrum Telecommunications Company. Since that time I have sleeping issues at night. I wake up 4-5 times, I have a light sleep and do not go into deep sleep phases, I get headaches every night, in the morning when I wake up I am tired, groggy and not well rested, Brain Fog also.

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 a concerned member of the public. I have experienced headaches and neckaches from wireless radiation while riding in a fully electric car for only a half hour. Additionally, I have experienced the effects of wireless radiation when driving for longer periods of time in new cars that are not fully electric, but have too many EMFs coursing through it via numerous apps, sensors, and features that require WIFI and other EMFs to function. The effects I have experienced include headaches, reduced immune system, core frequency imbalance of my body, and a specific fatigue. Wireless radiation has affected my husband in the same manner. He is also negatively affected by wireless radiation when driving by cell towers and other areas that expose the public to wireless radiation. I fully 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 “uncaptured” federal agencies with appropriate, uncaptured expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should serve as primary evidence and considered alongside the additional, numerous studies and the scientific evidence. Protection from wireless radiation needs to be built into every device that emits the harmful radiation. I urge HHS to carefully evaluate these first-hand experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal guidelines and research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard. Kind regards,

I am a concerned citizen. I have experienced pronto exfoliation in my right eye. One of the studied causes is exposure to cell phones and computers. I also have read foreign studies about EMFs, RF, and Wireless Radiation exposure affecting the body and especially sleep. I have found this true for myself. I have also noticed the effect on my grandchildren and have read studies that it is affecting their brains. We need to as a nation study the effects of these now and not wait any longer. All this technology is nice but comes with a price as it affects our body. I now have a special cover on my phone that minimizes exposure but how many people know to do this. We need to study and inform the public.

Public Comment to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Subject: EMF Sensitivity, Mold Exposure, Genetic Testing, and Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) Submitted by: Shana Placenti New Hampshire, United States To the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, My name is Shana Placenti, and I am sharing my personal experiences with electromagnetic field (EMF) sensitivity, mold exposure, and Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS). I have been battling CIRS since 2018, following prolonged exposure to a water-damaged, mold-contaminated home. Over the past eight years, I have experienced severe neurological, cognitive, and physical symptoms that have significantly affected my health and quality of life. Approximately five years ago, I underwent extensive genetic testing involving roughly 200,000 genetic markers. According to the interpretation provided with my results, I was identified as having what the report described as "double EMF sensitivity." When I am around what I believe to be sources of electromagnetic fields, I experience intense buzzing and vibrating sensations throughout my body. At times, it feels as though my entire nervous system is buzzing. These sensations can become extremely uncomfortable and overwhelming, particularly when I am already experiencing neurological symptoms. Following my mold exposure, I experienced severe dizziness, balance disturbances, cognitive difficulties, impaired temperature regulation, and changes in bladder function. At one point, my neurological symptoms were so debilitating that I struggled to walk and maintain my balance. I have also experienced multiple concussions, further complicating my neurological health. I am concerned about whether individuals with chronic inflammatory illnesses following mold exposure may experience heightened sensitivity to other environmental factors, including electromagnetic fields. I am also concerned about the potential relationship between electromagnetic fields and mold-related toxicity. I encourage HHS to investigate whether EMF exposure can influence fungal growth, mycotoxin production, or the biological effects of mold exposure, particularly among individuals living with chronic inflammatory and neurological conditions. I respectfully encourage HHS to investigate possible relationships between EMF exposure, mold-related illness, neurological conditions, and genetic susceptibility. I would particularly welcome research examining whether certain genetic variations are associated with reported EMF sensitivity and whether these associations can be scientifically validated. I also encourage research into the combined effects of environmental exposures on individuals living with complex chronic illnesses. In addition to my personal experiences, I am the founder and administrator of MOLD/CIRS/LYME/TOXINS Healing and Recovery Group, an international Facebook community with more than 7,200 members representing over 50 countries. Through this community, I raise awareness, share educational resources, and provide support for individuals navigating mold exposure, CIRS, Lyme disease, EMF sensitivity, and other environmental health concerns. I have connected with individuals who report symptoms they associate with EMF exposure. These experiences have reinforced my belief that patients deserve to be heard and that their experiences should help inform future research priorities. My purpose in submitting this comment is to share my lived experience and advocate for greater awareness, independent research, and improved understanding of reported environmental sensitivities. I recognize that my genetic report does not independently establish a medically validated diagnosis of EMF sensitivity. However, I believe my experiences raise important questions worthy of further scientific investigation. Thank you for providing Americans with an opportunity to share their experiences. I sincerely hope continued research will improve our understanding of reported EMF sensitivity, potential interactions with mold exposure, and the challenges faced by individuals living with chronic inflammatory and neurological conditions. Respectfully, Shana Placenti New Hampshire, United States Environmental Health Advocate

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 Parent and wife. Our family and kids are very sensitive to these types of addictions. Our sleep has been disrupted. My kids wake 3-5 times a night. They walk around like zombies some days because of the lack of sleep. My husband and I are restless at night because of the constant buzzing. 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.
