Li-Fi, fiber & alternatives

Health Impacts from Poorly Regulated RFR and the Studies Documenting Harm By Kelly Marcotulli I suffer from a physiological response to wireless technologies. This happens when I am in a strong wifi environment and if I stay too long near electromagnetic frequencies from standard electrical pulsations. I didn’t want to believe that my symptoms and suffering would be so clearly caused by such ubiquitous daily technologies but the facts have remained- I feel the intensity of pulsed electromagnetic waves. My symptoms are: insomnia, headache, increased and heightened tinnitus (ringing becomes more shrill), and an overall increase in anxiety. This study, Risks to Health and Well-Being From Radio-Frequency Radiation Emitted by Cell Phones and Other Wireless Devices, demonstrates the clear connection between RFR and my body’s reactions to those frequencies. “extensive review of numerous published studies confirms non-thermally induced biological effects or damage (e.g., oxidative stress, damaged DNA, gene and protein expression, breakdown of the blood-brain barrier) from exposure to RFR (63), as well as adverse (chronic) health effects from long-term exposure (64). Biological effects of typical population exposures to RFR are largely attributed to fluctuating electrical and magnetic fields (65–67). https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/public-health/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2019.00223/full Furthermore, this study out of Spain provides a causative relationship between my symptoms (cellular decay) and the RF frequencies my body was exposed to in the LAUSD schools I worked in. https://www.emfdata.org/en/studies/detail?id=949 “Irradiation affected selection of the death mode: apoptosis decreased or remained unchanged in cells subjected to any of the treatments, while necrosis increased in cells treated with CPS, LPS, or both for 48 h. The combination of RF-EMF and infectious agents reprogrammed the interaction between mitochondria/lysosomes/nitric oxide (NO)/cell death in macrophages in a time- and stimulus-dependent manner.” Radiofrequency fields at 2.45 GHz reprogram mitochondria–lysosome crosstalk and modulate the survival/death of macrophages exposed to LPS and/or the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein. To alleviate my reactions/illness, I have learned to prepare for a specific environment. For example, when I enter a restaurant, I use an EMF meter to find the areas of least radiation. My house is hard-wired with ethernet cables providing my internet connections and I use a landline to communicate. I do own a cell phone but it is kept in airplane mode or off most of the time. My friends and family know about my condition and they do not keep their phones on around me. I can’t attend stadium concerts, games and events where I know all phones will be pulsing their signals so, I don’t go. Luckily, I own my home and I am not subject to others’ wifi signals that would occur were I living in an apartment building. What about those who can’t afford a home and are forced to live in an unsafe environment? Sadly, I have come to believe that our government does not care about people like me. They care about the profits made by Telecom and they continue to deny that my sub-group has validity. Despite the studies that show harm, the FCC has just continued to allow more transmitters at higher frequencies to be developed. These higher frequencies (4G, 5G, 6G, 10G) are currently causing damage to plants and wildlife while the Federal government just looks the other way. I urge the FCC and HHS to take me and the thousands of us (could be millions, with symptoms blamed on the wrong cause), seriously. We are disabled and are often unable to participate in general society. Today, it is hard to find a safe place where there are no EMFs. This is why many escape into a forest, living off grid and on the edge. The small cell antennas now being deployed in every conceivable location- schools, office buildings, churches (shouldn’t they be sacred and safe places?), and on people’s homes make life impossible for those suffering from EMR-S (Electro Magnetic Syndrome). Please, take action now and prevent more suffering. Thank you, Kelly Marcotulli

My response is in reference to wireless technology, or RF/EMF sources, that include Wi-Fi, smart meters, and wireless infrastructure. I am a residential customer of the Northern California utility provider, Pacific Gas & Electric Company. The Smart Meter rollout in my city began in November of 2010. Having read various publications detailing some alarming concerns with various aspects of Smart Meter technology, I chose to defer installation and instead take advantage of the opt-out option and retain my original analog utility meters. I paid the $75.00 opt-out fee, as well as the recurring $10.00 monthly meter reading fee, which I believe was charged for a period of one or two years. From 2010 to 2024, I continued to enjoy trouble-free service from my two analog meters, which are attached to the exterior wall of my garage. In November of 2024, and without my consent, the utility replaced one of my meters, assuring me that the unit was not a Smart Meter. I'm assuming the utility declined to classify the meter as a Smart Meter due to disabling radio transmission function. Within one day of installation, each time I was near the new meter I experienced debilitating, dizzy spells, causing me to stumble and become disoriented, followed by fatigue and "brain fog." I also experienced dizziness and brain fog inside my home, requiring bed rest for a period of 2-3 hours after exposure. Since the utility had assured me that they had not installed a Smart Meter, I spent several months trying to find some physical reason that might explain the sudden onset of my symptoms. As a last resort, I decided to do some research on the Alcara digital meter that had been installed. To my dismay, I found that the digital meter replacement was in fact a Smart Meter. Even more troubling was the fact that my meter was replaced even though I had chosen to opt out, and had paid the additional fees to keep the analog meter. After enduring several months of dizzy spells, brain fog, shortness of breath, fatigue, heart palpitations, and inability to perform activities of daily living, I contacted the utility company and requested that the meter be replaced. After some persistence, the utility company agreed to remove the Smart Meter and replace it with the analog dial unit. After the meter was replaced, I experienced immediate relief of all symptoms. In addition to Smart utility meters, I experience uncomfortable and disabling effects from various other sources, as well. I become dizzy in various locations of the grocery store, as well as in medical offices. I am unable to shop in my local department store, where they use ESLs (digital price tags), for more than 15-20 minutes before experiencing severe dizziness and disorientation. Removal from the source does not provide immediate relief of symptoms, which can continue for several hours after exposure. The effects from EMF, RF and wireless radiation exposure are severe. Symptoms include severe dizziness, brain fog, fatigue, shortness of breath, and heart palpitations, all of which can last for as long as 2-3 hours post exposure, during which time I am bedridden. The closest description I can think of is the sensation of an eggbeater in your head, scrambling your brains. I do what I can to protect myself. My telephone is a wired landline. I do not use a cell phone, and have no idea what communication options will be available to me when AT&T succeeds in eliminating wired landline telephone service. As far as electronic equipment, my computer and peripherals are all wired. I have, unfortunately, lost access to a wired internet connection through my phone line as ISPs in my area no longer support a wired modem option. My current modem/router emits Wi-Fi signals, requiring that I limit my computer use to no more than 2-3 hours. In an effort to mitigate exposure intensity, I have limited speed, or power level, to no more than 300 Mbps. I am unable to withstand prolonged exposure to any device that uses a wireless connection. In order to protect the health of my pet, I also declined to have a microchip inserted in her body. I have not sought medical intervention, other than mentioning the condition to my physician. The only solution to protecting my brain and my body from this "attack" is to remove the offending technology; considering today's all-consuming dependence on wireless technology, with options becoming fewer and fewer each day, this is, of course, impossible to achieve. This is radiation exposure and worse, and this fact must be recognized as a real danger to humans and animals. It is my strong belief that constraints on this technology must be implemented, the health impacts must be accepted and communicated, and for those who suffer with the condition (possibly falling under ADA protection), options must be made available.

Research shows that EHS affects up to 5% or more of the population, with approximately 0.65% experiencing such severe symptoms that participation in everyday social life becomes impossible. Despite the significant impact on those affected, adequate support, healthcare, and protection remain lacking. This is partly due to ongoing uncertainty among authorities regarding the causal relationship between exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and reported health effects. However, there is sufficient scientific evidence that NIR have non-thermal biological effects Exposure Standards and Risk Assessment Current exposure limits are designed to prevent excessive heating. However, people report experiencing effects from EMFs at exposure levels well below the official limits. Current official standards consider only the frequencies and intensity of NIR. Knowledge of the effects of specific EMF characteristics, such as modulation, and of long-term exposure is limited, and these factors are not taken into account. Yet they do matter. Many scientific studies do not clearly describe the characteristics of the EMFs used. Based on many years of experience, building biologists have drawn up practical guidelines When people with EHS adhere to these guidelines by avoiding and shielding themselves from sources of EMF, their symptoms disappear or are alleviated. The European Academy of Environmental Medicine (EUROPAEM) has also developed guidelines on EMFs based on scientific findings. EUROPAEM aims to provide preventive measures and protective strategies against the potential health risks of electromagnetic fields. We also would like to refer to the contribution uploaded by Else Nordhagen PhD on this subject: ‘Quality criteria for RF/EMF Health-Risk Assessments’. As attached Measuring Human Exposure and Public Health Surveillance Technical and exposure-related information should be disclosed, including the peak values. As the official standards presume only the heating of tissue and the mean values of NIR has importance, peak values are ignored, while many studies precisely clarify the great importance of these peak values and long-term exposure. Radiation levels vary constantly, especially when beamforming techniques, as used in 5G, are applied. These variations are so wide-ranging that measurement techniques need to be adapted. Exposure information is also needed to protect vulnerable people in public spaces, such as hospitals, medical facilities, nursing homes, daycare centers, and schools. Existing Evidence Much research has been done to establish the effects of NIR. Many scientists found adverse effects and several scientific appeals have been done in vain to the authorities to take this into account before applying new generations of wireless technologies. Many well-conducted scientific studies show adverse health effects, while others do not. See the uploaded files including Central and Eastern Europeanstudies, showing two fundamentally different approaches. When focussing on just studies using real life exposure, the results are convincing. However, in studies using sources with undefined characteristics or model of exposure, the results vary widely. Recognising the importance of applying real-life exposure with the true characteristics in this research might resolve the difference in opinion about the risks caused by NIR. This difference may also lead to the design of EMFs limiting or even without health consequences. In 2007 the Bio Initiative Report already mentions the importance of modulation for the biological impact of EMFs. Scientific studies mention the importance for biological effects of extreme and ultra-low-frequency components of EMFs. The official institutions responsible for assessing the health risks of NIR also regularly state that, if harmful effects occur, the mechanisms by which NIR affects organisms are unknown. Yet multiple replicated studies have found that NIR causes oxidative stress, which is considered in science to be a cause of many diseases. Federal Research Priorities Additional Information ALARA principle by design. The technical system should be designed to minimise the radiation levels, not to maximise the reach. Wireless applications should be minimised and preference should be given to wired solutions. Europeans for Safe Connections was founded in 2023 in response to inadequate protection against NIR (non-ionizing radiation) and the growing number of people suffering from electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS). ESC is an umbrella organisation in Europe representing national organisations and individuals aware of the health risks of EMFs

A former cybersecurity engineer for nearly 20 years, I developed electrohypersensitivity in 2019. As a result, I had to stop working, leave the city where I lived, find a home in a rural area, and live while minimizing my exposure to microwaves and electric fields as much as possible all while incurring significant expenses to install shielding and protective equipment in my home. Since these conditions are not readily recognized in France, I receive no financial assistance and must cover everything out of my own savings: housing, food, healthcare costs, training, travel, and more... As of now, I can no longer live in cities like Paris, where exposure to microwave radiation in the street is way too high for me. The symptoms I have experienced from the very beginning and continue to experience are: - If I am exposed for more than half a day to high-frequency waves such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cell phones, etc.: dizziness, cognitive impairment, short-term memory loss, significant difficulty prioritizing and organizing tasks, disorientation, muscle pain in the neck and trapezius muscles, eye pain, tinnitus, digestive issues, and palpitations - if I’m exposed to 50Hz (home electricity) for more than a day: inflammatory symptoms (rhinitis, sneezing, mucosal irritation, sinus congestion), intense fatigue in the days that follow, requiring a great deal of recovery time. - If I am exposed to “dirty electricity” (such as “Linky” smart meters in France or powerline communication) for a few hours to a day: a sensation of burning from the inside, the onset of flu-like symptoms that progress to bronchitis and rhinitis if exposure continues for too long The most serious symptoms I experienced were extrasystoles and cardiac arrhythmias, which led me to the emergency room. I resolved these specific issues by eliminating electromagnetic interference, grounding myself as often as possible, and undergoing acupuncture. The first few years were very difficult because I was deeply affected; I didn’t understand what was triggering the symptoms. Once I figured it out, I had to spend nearly six months in a 4 square-meter space, the only place in my home where I could recover, while I gradually adapted the rest of my 28-square-meter apartment. I didn’t know which disturbance caused which symptom or how long it took to manifest, or where I could or couldn’t go… No one around me understood me. Most of the time, people think I’m crazy, or they’re annoyed at having to temporarily turn off their devices. Some say they’ll turn them off but don’t, thinking I’m making things up, and after a while, I end up feeling sick and it takes me hours to recover. People have become so addicted to their smartphones that it annoys them when the topic of the harmful effects of electromagnetic waves comes up. I’ve even been told, "Who cares? We don’t feel anything you should just go live in a cave." Or, "If you weren’t an engineer, I would never have believed you.” I’ve come to realize just how much my disability “bothers” people, so I hardly ever talk about it, and I hardly see anyone anymore. I have practically no social life left, aside from my immediate family, a few understanding friends, and other people with electromagnetic hypersensitivity. I can’t stay anywhere for too long because most homes and public places have excessive electromagnetic fields. From time to time, I make the effort to go out and do some activities or go on outings, but I have to plan for the fact that I’ll pay dearly for it the next day and won’t be able to do anything. It is very difficult to find a job where one is not exposed to this pollution, whether from infrastructure or from other employees using connected devices. Since our government’s motto is "zero dead zones" and “don’t live like the Amish,” it is becoming increasingly difficult for advocacy groups representing people with electromagnetic hypersensitivity to find housing even in rural areas that offers low exposure. I trained as an electromagnetic environment consultant to try to turn my condition into something useful and raise awareness, but this topic is regularly discredited by many media outlets and a majority of misinformed people in the healthcare field who classify it as a psychiatric disorder. We’re labeled "conspiracy theorists". Most of my clients are people who are already ill and often in precarious situations, so I’m not yet able to generate enough income to cover all my expenses, and I’m still living partly off my savings. Most devices are becoming increasingly complicated to use in wired mode; you constantly have to go through a lot of steps, buy accessories, and so on. Even cars automatically turn on Bluetooth when you start them, when it’s even possible to turn it off. There are many things that seem trivial but are a nightmare in daily life they’re time-consuming and force you to always be vigilant and on your guard.

Non-thermal radiofrequency radiation is entropic waste. It is a fidelity stressor that disrupts the critical timing components of biology, and what it produces is bioelectrical dissonance and a meta-disease state. The evidence is already on the record. NTP and the Ramazzini Institute found the same rare heart tumor. The WHO-commissioned review rated glioma and heart schwannoma high-certainty. The FCC's own 2 mm tests hit 5.2 W/kg. Europe moves body testing to 0 mm by March 7, 2028. HHS should act now, and the end game is Li-Fi compatibility through the Clean Ether Act. Comment of John Coates on Docket HHS-OASH-2026-0397. Individual respondent. My full comment, with sources, is attached: It answers Questions 2 through 18, with every subpart, in order. THE EVIDENCE IS ALREADY ON THE RECORD (Q6, Q12). - NTP and Ramazzini, two independent lifetime bioassays, found the same rare tumor, malignant heart schwannoma, in male rats. Germany's BfS called Ramazzini's exposures "at a comparable level to the basic limit values for humans." - The WHO-commissioned review: "The CoE for an increased risk in glioma was judged as high." Heart schwannoma was rated high too. - NTP held heating under 1 degree C, and NTP itself says: "The role of thermal changes on cancer development needs to be further investigated." GSM gliomas ran 0, 3, 3 and 2 per 90 across sham, 1.5, 3 and 6 W/kg. Heat does not draw that curve. HHS should fund the investigation NTP called for. - NTP's 1.5 W/kg is a whole-body average; the FCC's 1.6 W/kg limit is a 1-gram local peak. Different measures, but the numbers sit right on top of each other. The iPhone Air's 1.60 W/kg is the highest simultaneous-transmission value reported in its FCC grant. THE TEST MISSES THE BODY (Q5(p), Q7, Q8, Q9). - The FCC's own 2019 tests at 2 mm recorded up to 5.2 W/kg. - Europe moves body testing to 0 mm by March 7, 2028. The U.S. still certifies at typically 5 to 15 mm. - SAR averages away the timing biology reads: GSM bursts about 217 times a second, Wi-Fi beacons about ten times a second, DECT and 5G NR use 10 ms frames. - Require 0 mm testing, and disclose test distance and pulse structure with every SAR value. THE META-DISEASE STATE (Q10, Q12). RF does not need to cause one unique disease to matter. It only needs to reduce the fidelity of the systems that prevent many diseases. Bioelectrical dissonance is the process, low-fidelity biology is the state, and disease susceptibility is the consequence. The causal fingerprint is not one diagnosis. It is a shifted distribution of biological failure: rare becomes less rare, late becomes early, recoverable becomes persistent. S4-MITO-SPIN (Q12). The S4 helix of the VGCCs, including CACNA1C, is the bulk-calcium gate; Cyb5b is the internal-timing transducer (Kim et al., Cell, 2026: "an essential mediator likely acting as an EMF sensor"); mitochondria are the redox amplifier (95% of 131 non-thermal studies found oxidative effects); cryptochrome-to-flavins spin dynamics are the modulator. At matched SAR, pulse modulation, not the carrier, changed human EEG and blood flow. HHS should test whether pulsed exposure disrupts pulsatile insulin release, which runs on the same calcium machinery. SENSITIVE POPULATIONS (Q11). Development has no restore point. Children absorb higher local doses; NTP pups were born smaller; responses differ by CACNA1C genotype and mouse strain; aging neurons carry more L-type calcium channels. WHAT I ASK (Q5, Q15, Q16, Q17, Q18). - Reinvigorate Public Law 90-602. It is HHS's job. The Secretary "shall establish and carry out an electronic product radiation control program" and develop techniques "for minimizing exposure." Publish the performance-standard determination and a public work plan; replace FDA's tumor-only 2020 review. - Run the meta-disease experiment: pulsed RF vs carrier-only vs sham at matched SAR, from the womb, measuring fidelity endpoints before pathology (NIEHS/NTP). - Fund Cyb5b, CACNA1C and organoid replication (NIH); build registries and measured-exposure cohorts (CDC); issue precautionary guidance now. - Repeal Section 704, which bars localities from weighing RF health effects in siting. - Pass the Clean Ether Act: fiber, Ethernet and Li-Fi on IEEE 802.11bb indoors, with pilots in Head Start, childcare, maternity and pediatric care, and HHS facilities. Invisible does not mean irrelevant. Non-ionizing does not mean non-biological. Legal does not mean safe. I was diagnosed with kidney cancer at age 7 in 1977, with my left kidney removed at age 8, while my family lived near a radar installation on a military base. In 1995 my daughter Angel Leigh was born with anencephaly and did not survive. My daughter was the canary in the coal mine... and so was I. John Coates RF Safe

I have burn marks where devices are constantly irritating skin I have intense ringing in my ears. Brain fog Pixilization of LED can still be seen by eyes, verses tungston or cfl light interrupts neurons- need options to buy other types of lights- this was a failed experiment and can cause seizures, HA, sleep deprovation, and more The constant interruptions (ave 1 : 47 sec) is disrupting focus - prevent critical thinking and decreases learning. There is so much more I have noticed, I have placed a LAN in the house but need more wiring, which is hard to install, along with No universal standard, plugs keep changing for changing. Cost for charging divices break and you get burns

Dear Secretary Kennedy, Thank you for giving the public an opportunity to express our sincere concerns regarding EMF, RF, and wireless radiation exposure. As a mother of five children (ages 25, 23, 22, 19 and 11), I am truly concerned about the effects of EMFs and 5G radiation exposure. There are increasing reports of adverse effects from cell towers and 5G, and sadly, many of these towers are right next to our schools, playgrounds and in our neighborhoods. I live right behind a small elementary charter school on Big Pine Key, an island in the Lower Florida Keys. There is a large cell tower right next to the school and about .10 - .20 miles from my house. Not only am I concerned for the children at the school, but also for my own family, as I am sure the radiation emitted from the tower is not good for our health. We try hard to limit exposure in our home by using wired headphones and turning off the router at night, but I am sure there is still so much more we are exposed to than we should be. It is my understanding that 4G LTE is much safer and still widely used in Europe. Can we please look into safe alternatives for Americans? While I understand that it is not a popular idea, I feel that grounded or dial-up options may be much safer. Thank you for taking a look into this very important issue to our health.

Safe Tech International is a not-for-profit organization advocating for safe technology. A 34-page report issued in 1976 by the Defense Intelligence Agency titled "Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Radiation (Radiowaves and Microwaves) – Eurasian Communist Countries, analyzed a number of Soviet and Eastern block research studies that demonstrated a wide range of adverse biological effects from exposure to radio frequency and microwave radiation. In its summary, the report issued a “Smoking Gun” warning: “If the more advanced nations of the West are strict in the enforcement of stringent exposure standards, there could be unfavorable effects on industrial output and military functions." The rest is history – The US chose technological/industrial expansion and military might over the health and well-being of humans, wildlife, and perhaps even Earth herself. The time is long overdue to mend our ways. So we are particularly grateful to HHS for opening this conversation. Before responding to your questions, we offer two suggestions to consider: 1. The effects of technology and AI are far broader than just the health impacts of RF/EMFs. Other areas include psycho-social effects, screen-time addiction, e-waste, conflict minerals, energy consumption, data centers, cyber security, pollution of the skies, surveillance/privacy, info/cyber & EMS warfare, and perhaps our very humanity itself…what it means to be alive. HHS may wish to look into how any or all of these impact health and/or the environment. 2. The need to solicit input on the health of RF/EMFs begs the question as to why in the US we have so much wireless technology polluting our airwaves when a robust fiber or wired infrastructure would be far safer for both humans and wildlife. Currently, the US ranks 32nd out of 38 OECD countries for fiber-to-the-home. With a more robust wired infrastructure, we would be far less reliant on wireless, and less saturated with chaotic RF fields in our environments. Moreover, fiber is safer, faster, more reliable, resilient, cyber secure, energy efficient, and lasts for decades. Along with it, we would need honest public education on the benefits of wired and the harms of wireless, so people could make more informed choices as to when, where, and how much to use a given technology. We respond to specific HHS questions below. Question 7 – To the best of our knowledge, there are currently no accurate ways to measure either individual or population exposure levels. We don’t have sophisticated enough monitoring equipment to capture the different ambient RF fields which include modulations, peak pulses, beam forming, etc.; assess the absorption and reflection of building materials, clothing, nature, and the ground itself; ascertain the usage, size, location, position, and health of each human and animal; factor in countless other synergistic effects such as mold, Lyme, dirty electricity, pharmaceuticals etc., all of which affect the potency and nature of exposures. In our opinion, these variables make such a characterization far too complex to assess. Question 9 – The public should be informed honestly, openly, and objectively of the health harms of RF/EMFs, and of “best practices” in using technolgy judiciously and wisely. The information shared should be based on independent science and common sense, and made available (and shown by example) in schools, hospitals, workplaces, libraries, and in every venue possible, until the health harms of RF/EMFs are as well understood as those of opium. Question 13 – It doesn’t take much science to understand that if you add one technology on top of another, it will increase exposure. But it does require more study and nuance to appreciate that the synergistic effects of exposure to different toxins can have an overall impact greater than the sum of the parts. This would apply as well to combinations, variations, and permutations of RF/EMFs. Questions 12 and 14 – The science is overwhelming with thousands of peer-reviewed studies dating back over 60 years and more appearing daily showing adverse health impacts from RF/EMFs above and below FCC “safety” guidelines. Here’s a link to just one such list, https://greenmedinfo.com/problematic-action/electromagnetic-field-harms SafeTechInternational.org offers an overview of the many and multifaceted ways technology is negatively impacting our world, and (due to how it’s being stewarded) is heading us toward a civilizational tipping point/existential cliff. The website gives an overview of how exponential technological growth affects our health, the environment, e-waste, conflict minerals, energy consumption, our minds and hearts, cyber security, AI, pollution of the skies, EHS, surveillance/privacy, and is increasing the lethality of war through three new forms of warfare. The website also offers a vision for a better way forward. Thank you, The Team at Safe Tech International

Tingling in my hands started every time I would pick up my phone. Each time my phone would reach my ears, I would have tingling in my temple. The wifi in the house and at work causes so much brain fog and pressure like symptoms in my head. To mitigate these issues I try to stay off of my phone, use speaker phone or wired head phones when talking and shutting off the wifi as much as possible at home. At work, there has been nothing I can do to mitigate the issues.
