Neurological symptoms & sleep

I am a woman who has been living with three smart meters near to my bedroom. Since living there I have experienced brain fog, headaches body aches and other discomforts associated with high EMF exposure. , 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 am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. My adult disabled daughter is very electrically sensitive. She started having seizures (an electrical storm in the brain) after Hep B vaccine as a newborn. Since then we’ve mostly managed her seizures through a careful diet. But starting in 2020, she was having grand mal seizures every few weeks or months. This spring we removed the radio in her room which emitted high EMFs and we started turning off Wifi and flipping off the breaker to her room at night. Knock on wood, she hasn’t had a seizure since. Our human bodies are electrical systems. It’s not rocket science to understand that we are sensitive to frequencies around us, but most of us are so plugged in that we don’t realize our ailments can be associated with these exposures. Thank you for providing us with an opportunity to be considered. Not everyone has seizures, but we humans are electrical systems being impacted in ways often unrealized, unmeasured and untreated.

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, wellness consultant and grandmother. It is imperative HHS address the issue of the harms caused by incessant EMF exposure. I had the opportunity to live in a low EMF building an my health and mental emotional well being improved dramatically and also met many individuals who had been damaged by EMF exposure who had heart issues and culd no longer tolerate any exposure without experiencing extreme debilitating symptoms, like tremors, migraines, heart palpitations, dizziness, flu symptoms and more. I fear for the children with phones and ipads and constant exposure at home via smart meters and other smart devices, and at school. Their brains are more vulnerable than adults. The power output on routers can be dramatically reduced without compromising connectivity. We need to switch to fiber optics. We are killing the bees and wildlife with these frequencies. We are destroying our planet for convenience. Please take corrective measre and educate the public in the meantime about protective measures. Tell the FCC to change the allowed frequencies and testing to reflect the new levels of radiation being used. The courts ordered them to di so and they simply disobeyed. Enforcment please. 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.

EMF radiation from cellphones and other devices, utilized in botnets can be used to attack Americans. This comes from WiFI, Bluetooth, satellites, and in our homes, with electricity. TVs new and old can be used to attach to people. Cellphones and laptops, they are using a mITM vulnerability via Apples Bluetooth network with stolen tech. Antenna networks old and new can be utilized as indicated above, from experience. HDTV, Analog, long wave radio waves do the same just ask the UK. And also some of the photos, only happens when the antenna is hooked up to the TV set. Cell towers and satellites can be utilized as weapons without access to them. Should be treated as a DEW Telephone lines can be used to create light boxes of a sort, attacking one’s nervous system and causing all kinds of havoc even when not in use. Causes Gingivitis in some, loose teeth, anxiety, depression, adhd, drowsiness, Alzheimer’s and dementia, bipolar disorder (especially when attached to MKUltra program) MS, Endometriosis, Turbo Cancer for those targeted, fibromyalgia, ALS, technological Schizophrenia —as well as spying, bullying and intimidation depending on where you live and who you are. Causes skin lesions and abrasions, scaring, I have it all over my body right now. Seen in TX, research in Buffalo NY by the University there.

See attached for my complete response to questions 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 15, and 18. 3. My experiences/adverse health effects associated with exposure to RF/EMFs: I first experienced adverse health effects from RF/EMF when my employer went wireless in the conference rooms. Hindsight sleep disturbances I had attributed to menopause went away after opting out of the automatic meter reader, precursor to the SMART meter. c) adverse health effects experienced: neurologic effects loss of fine motor skills left sided delays impaired concentration/foggy thinking vertigo heart palpitations thyroid nodules and increased vascularity difficulty regulating blood glucose tinnitus sleep disturbances electric feeling in hands and legs headaches fatigue during exposure insomnia following exposure d) When health effects appeared relative to exposure Thyroid abnormalities were first observed by ultrasound in October 2014, three months after my employer went wireless in the conference rooms. By October of 2017 ultrasound was showing two nodules (abnormal growths). In July of 2018 I move to an office in a remote location within the building and was attending all meetings virtually with wired technology. My November 2018 ultrasound showed the nodules were gone! f) steps taken to reduce exposure; subsequent changes in adverse health effects got rid of cordless telephone opted out of automatic meter reader, precursor to the SMART meter, and later the SMART meter attended work meetings virtually from my private office moved my office to a low RF/EMF location in the building and later telecommuted fromm home full time used vacation to create a three day weekend to recover from the adverse effects of RF/EMF so that I could continue working no longer own a cell phone avoid public places and try to limit trips to town to once a month drive back roads avoid major metro areas have no wireless devices in my home Reducing exposure in the workplace resulted in resolution of thyroid nodules which had developed subsequent to employer transitioning to wireless devices. Other adverse health effects also improved with avoidance of RF/EMF. g) supporting documentation I have thyroid ultrasound reports which document adverse changes in thyroid. I have taken meter readings when experiencing RF/EMF adverse health effects that are well below 0.1µW/m2. Research related to the effect of RF radiation on the thyroid: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451508/ 5. n) What changes would improve assessment, disclosure, and regulation of wireless radiation exposure? Regulation RF/EMF needs regulation, not just guidelines Biological harm needs to be addressed regulations need to be set based on how devices are actually used i.e. cell phones against the body and the multiplicity of exposure RF/EMF health and safety standards need to be based on long term exposure not just from individual devices but ambient levels The FCC is not a health organization. Establishing health safety standards for RF/EMF exposure should be transferred to HHS or NIH. They should work collaboratively with FDA, EPA and OSHA. Disclosure The American people deserve full disclosure. p) How should a classification system account for exposure-related characteristics, including operating frequency, power density, specific absorption rate (SAR), electric- and magnetic-field strength, modulation and pulse characteristics, duty cycle, beamforming, simultaneous exposure to multiple frequencies, duration of exposure, distance from the source, proximity to the body, and cumulative exposure over time? All of these are important. The ones of greatest concern to me are: pulse modulated wave form including the peak amplitude simultaneous and cumulative exposure power density and duration of exposure frequency beam formation 11. Should exposure assessment or risk evaluation differ for sensitive populations? Yes, children’s skulls are thinner, their brains contain more fluid and are still developing. A failure to consider these differences would constitute gross negligence. 18. Please identify any additional scientific evidence, technical information, data, or recommendations that federal health agencies should consider when evaluating potential adverse health effects associated with RF/EMF radiation exposure. Federal health agencies should promote a precautionary stance. Wired technology should be encouraged whenever possible in homes, schools, medical facilities, workplaces, and other public businesses. Action should be taken to establish RF/EMF free areas in public places such as medical facilities similar to what was done for smoking.

I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields, RF Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding as an eyewitness with a medical record of physical harm by these non-natural environmental toxins. Suffering significant secondary loss, I have become an activist and advocate for myself and others similarly situated. If unaddressed by the HHS and FCC, regulatory agencies tasked with protecting the people, we are a class action waiting to happen – supported by the overwhelming eyewitness evidence, non-industry-funded science, national and international medical and legal professionals. Criminal harm is occurring from this unauthorized experimental use not been proven safe in the updated, non-industry-conflicted science. See attachments. This wireless microwave radiation has severely adversely affected myself, my late mother, grandchildren, their pets and others in several disability groups I have been a part of since 1994 at my Social Security Disability documented onset. THE SUFFERING For thirty years I have suffered from this electronic version of an environmental plague. The original source of my exposure was with the installation of a cellular microwave tower at the NC church we pastored, near our parsonage. Exposure continued when in proximity to devices such as DECT wireless phones, routers, high tension power towers, and a cell phone after I moved. I suffered much secondary loss from an environmentally-caused illness foisted upon me by others who knew the risks. In 2015, upon relocation to San Diego across the street from multiple high tension power towers, and a wifi router on the other side of the wall from the room I rented, my symptoms drastically increased from an already disabling level to almost unbearable torture. At the next condominium unit I had to relocate to 6 months later because of this, there were multiple aesthetically hidden towers across the road. Symptoms worsened unbearably, and I moved a year later to an apartment complex in a lower EMF area, not knowing there were wifi routers in neighboring apartments, and an airport related tower that would penetrate the bedroom window each morning waking me up 30 minutes before the planes would take off. Purchasing an EMF meter confirmed objectively my symptoms and their direct correlation to EMF microwave radiation sources in the electronic landscape. HEALTH EFFECTS DOCUMENTED My health effects tracked, in real time, the exposures. From the beginning, as a young active happy pastor’s wife and mother of middle and high school teens, a non-exhaustive list of symptoms documented in my medical record included a 40+ drop in my IQ in the area of new information processing deficits including auditory delay measured by independent Social Security Disability experts as compared to the previous 140 MENSA in my high school transcript – “brain fog” is putting it mildly. Tinnitus, increased heart rate to 150, neurally mediated hypotension, spatial disorientation, blurring of vision in my one good eye, chronic optical migraines, later onset of cataract in the back of my legally blind right eye all developed. Sudden onset of “fatigue” felt like walking through concrete cement with every step. Coma-type of narcolepsy sleep for up to 20 hours a day, muscle cramping, sudden elevation of my formerly normal cholesterol to 270 happened at acute onset. Sensitivities to previously tolerated chemicals, including most medications, along with a new sensitivity to cold, caused a code during surgery and recommendation to avoid elective surgery. Cramping of my leg muscles and abnormal gait necessitated use of a cane many days, immune system dysregulation with a profile including low natural killer cells, abnormal T-lymphocytes, and a CD4 reverse pattern from AIDS. This is only a partial list of symptoms that occurred many years “mysteriously” after wireless installation near my residence ended life as normal, culminating in a 2020 adenocarcinoma Stage IIIB cancer diagnosis and being told by my radiation oncologist consult that EMF radiation caused the cancer, and I was not a good candidate for radiation or I could hemorrhage at those doses. After the surgery, I was in extreme pain when exposed to levels over .100 megahertz for more than a brief time. My MD attended the 2019 EMF Medical Conference in Costa Mesa, CA, and diagnosed me with what is now known as Electromagnetic Radiation Syndrome (Diagnosis Code: W90.0) that tracked my symptom onset/exposures and is also associated with cancer, heart, neurological and reproductive disorders. (www.emrsyndrome.org) Reducing exposures post-cancer diagnosis and surgery with six months to live made so much difference. My protocol for healing is shared at www.warnandcomfortthepeople.org. This protocol I strictly followed as I was told I was not a good candidate for radiation due to EMFR. See attached documents.

I live in Sweden, Stockholm and I am suffering from Electromagnetic Radiation Syndrome, Electrohyper Sensitivity. Since the rollout of 5G the sympthoms have increased! Its astronomical higher. I have Big problems when I go out in the society. I have a messuremeter with me to see were the Radiation is the lowest were its best to go. At home I have special courtains infront of the Windows and walls were the highest Radiation comes in from the neareast mobilemasts. I sit with an Ethernetkabel to my phone with WiFi, Bluetooth and mobildata off. On my modem I can turn off the WiFi on the router. Many people put shielding fabric over the router if its not working to turn the WiFi off. It takes away alot of the Radiation. I get these symphtoms: Headick, migraine, vibrations inside the body, that does not show on the outside, heartpalpations, nausea, ace in muscles, pain in the forehead, ringing ears, feeling like I am in a bubble, dizziness. I am so worried for all the children, they are very vounerable for DNA damage. Most small child has a mobilephone. And in the schools they have IPads and WiFi routers at the roof. When you scroll on a phone it admits very high Radiation and people get sick long under the safety limits. On top of that you have the mobilemasts, neighbours wireless networks. Hospitals have high Radiation and almost impoosible to visit for the people who are suffering from EHS. I have for a decade tried to get the information out through my facebookgroup: WIFI 4G 5G SKADLIG STRÅLNING with over 32.000 members. I have helped people who got sick to messure the Radiation in their homes and the absolute most important room in your home is the bedroom. European Guidelines recommend under 10 uW/m2 in the bedroom. So that your body can rest and build up the immunesysteme under the sleep. I have worked with my group for over a decade and I am tired. Facebook in Europé has still censur. I am retired and 70 years old. The only thing that makes me go on is the thought of my 5 grandchildren, all children in the World, there Health and future. This is one of the biggest healthscandals! God Bless You for doing this! Mvh Katarina Hollbrink

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. I noticed very erratic sleep patterns in me and some of my family members since we had more 5G towers started popping up in our neighborhood. Sometimes I don't sleep all night. Often sleep comes short and disrupts my work, family life and health. When we are in an area without cell towers at all and no mobile connection my sleep went back to normal. 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.
