Li-Fi, fiber & alternatives

My family lives in an over 55 mobilehome park. We have a EMF detection meter which found that on either side of us that the meter shows in the orange to red zone for increased unsafe EMF. Our homes are close together, one neighbor likes Netflix so has double the wi-fi which is always on; our other neighbor has a transmitting digital electric meter, which when transmitting alarms the EMF meter. We have our technology hard wired and don't use wi-fi or bluetooth. We are able to turn off the system at night. I get headaches in the kitchen and front room where the EMF meter alarms. I also worked in a city at a city maintenance yard for 17 yrs. At that facility there we at the time worked for 10 hours, four days a week with transmitting radios, which may have included 20 - 30 two way radios and there was a large antenna on the roof over our heads. A year or so after I worked there I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia with widespread pain, brain fog, and general malaise . Which later became so bad that I had to retire early. Our society is so into our technology and it has been researched that it is not our safe friend at present. But like most addicts it is hard to give up the tech or even try to use it wisely. My husband and I are captive where we live. I think the existing information which there is a lot of should be revealed, and looked at more closely by the HHS. Don't we have enough things out there to maim or kill us? Thank you for accepting my thoughts on EMF.

Public Comment and Policy Recommendations Regarding Aggregate RF, EMF, Conducted Electrical Interference, and Child/School Exposure Please see the attached document for my full public comment. I am submitting these comments to address the critical public-health implications of prolonged, cumulative, multi-source radiofrequency (RF) and electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure, conducted electrical interference (dirty electricity), electrohypersensitivity (EHS), and lighting/electrical stressors in homes, schools, and communities. The attached document outlines specific concerns and actionable recommendations regarding: - Children and Educational Environments: The impacts of dense wireless infrastructure, school-mandated Chromebooks, and classroom lighting/dimmers. - Real-World Aggregate Exposure: The necessity of measuring cumulative environmental loads beyond isolated laboratory conditions. - Systemic and Neurological Health: Biological plausibility, mitochondrial health, sleep architecture, and the lived realities of electrohypersensitive individuals. - Practical Engineering Alternatives: Proximity reduction, wired Ethernet alternatives (USB-to-RJ45 adapters), manual wireless radio deactivation, and transparent parental disclosure in schools. Thank you for your time, independent research, and consideration of these public health safeguards. Respectfully submitted, Richard Anthony Individual member of the public / consumer / family and community perspective Docket No.: HHS-OASH-2026-0397

Radiation level is extremely unhealthy you need to go back to wiring things Wi-Fi is really affecting my health in a very negative way and I need to get off this phone it's affecting my brain neurologically it's affecting my speech and my memory and causing extreme nerve discomfort and hyper arousal causing a lack of sleep. Also it makes it hard to even walk if I'm on it a long time it affects my lower spine and in the library my whole right leg can go all numb at times. I'm going to take AT&t to court because they recently took my non-internet landline away and it's significantly negatively impacting my health this is wrong and this is profit over people and you need to start paying attention it isn't just social media harming people it's the radiation.

I became severely electro sensitive close to 20 years now. It has been completely life altering!! My husband also became sensitive about 10 years ago. We had to close our business & move to a rural area THEN the cell tower came in the area & has been amped up with even more equipment. I was very much into all the latest electronic gadgets right from the beginning. Now I have issues in the house with low magnetic fields & electrical fields. How can one escape any of this without sacrificing actually living! The cost to try to protect ourselves and even our precious pets! They seek out spots in and around the home to feel comfortable in. It's so obvious plus I have purchased multiple meters to test the levels with. The regulations are basically non-existent, favoring the telecom industry. This is not advancement! yes it's all very convenient which is the 'hook' to gain more consumers for their fancy phones. The regulations are completely outdated and the medical field does not even address the affects that this has on the body & mind. We would like to see a complete unbiased, non industry analysis with more input & studies on how we can make this technology harmonize & heal instead of harm all living things!! In order for me to write this comment I can only use a hardwired computer system and we have shielded our home & have to wear special garments to protect the brain & body. It is a dysfunctional impairment meaning, take away this harmful technology & we will feel better. There is nothing wrong with us other than the electro poisoning that we are faced with every single day!! Where can we go, to be free from this when the planet is saturated in unnatural frequencies!! How can one even conduct a proper study when there is essentially not even a control group unless they are put in some kind of frequency free zone to test the differences between no wireless technology & the usual complete assault of frequencies everywhere!! Have we really advanced?? Dr. Olle Johannsen, the environmental health trust website, Keith Cutter & many many more scientists & electronic specialists have provided much information on this very serious situation! Many have no idea why they feel so ill all the time! There is a wide spectrum of adverse symptoms. We were so happy to hear RFK Jr recently address this concern. It clearly affects a developing child's brain in a negative way. It affects EVERYONE. Much like when cigarette smoking became a fad with Doctors saying that it was completely safe! People who didn't smoke had to inhale the toxic fumes & just accept their second hand smoke exposure cancer! Similar situation here, people being forced to the exposure of wifi without a safe space for those who do not want that exposure! Our symptoms range from burning skin, damage to the eyes, headaches/migraines, loss of train of thought, memory decline, irritability, nervousness, lack of sleep, joint & muscle pain...all of which I have experienced on a regular basis! Our quality of life has been diminished!! Please do what is right, study the real science not the bought & paid for industrial science that is based on fraud & money. We so appreciate this request for information by the Department of Health & Human Services!! This should have been offered many years ago because so many people have been suffering or have even resorted to ending their lives due to the negative & extremely harmful affects of EMFs, RF and Wireless Radiation Exposures! here are a few links https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qg2bmhtelts https://aches.substack.com/p/emfs-and-hospitals?publication_id=5148018&post_id=215964545 &isFreemail=true&r=x697&triedRedirect=true https://www.youtube.com/@emfremedy thank you for this inquiry!! PLEASE do what is right for everyone!! This is a massive concern! sincerely from my heart to yours LR

I knew that AC florescent lighting made me ill in first grade in 1966. I only recently became aware that this sensitivity may be due to the amount of "dirty electricity" associated with these lights or it might be the flicker. 60 years after this first became a problem I was diagnosed with Post Trauma Vision Syndrome. I came home from school every day in first and second grade with a headache and begged my mother to teach me at home instead. My mother didn't know that home schooling was an option. The next similar sensitivity that I noticed was to microwave ovens. When my mother got one, I found I had to back away from it when it was in use because it made me feel overwhelmed. As an adult from 1986-1998, I lived off the grid with DC solar power. I found I could tolerate DC flourscent light perhaps because of the lack of flicker or perhaps because dirty electricity is not a DC problem. In 1998 a modified sine wave inverter began to be used in my house. My health began to decline and in 2003 I became mentally ill. At some point wifi came into my house. I didn't know what it was, my husband or eldest step son would have been the ones who understood that it was present when it was first installed. I recovered my mental health through neurofeedback in 2007 and became a neurofeedback coach. When my mentor who owned one of the most powerful cell phones on the market at the time handed me his phone to speak with clients, I would find having his phone near me overwhelming. In order to be more easily reached by my clients, I bought a cell phone in 2007, we now had a local tower 2-3 miles away from where I was living. Mine was not as powerful a phone. Less overwhelming than my mentor's cell phone, I could not have long conversations on my cell phone without being thrown off balance physiologically. My next cell phone a 3G phone seemed to put out slightly less radiation, but was still a problem. I began texting when I got this phone. I noticed that my thyroid reacted to texting. It seemed that the way I held my phone to text sends the radiation up to my thyroid. AT&T kept sending me notices that they were not going to support my 3G phone any longer and sent me a refurbished smart phone, but I could not tolerate exposure to the smart phone, so I kept using my perfectly good 3G phone until AT&T killed it. The best option I could find at that time was a flip phone which was frustrating to operate compared to my 3G phone. My house was developing a mold problem around 2003 that became severe in 2006. I am aware that there is research showing that mold produces more toxins when exposed to wifi. This maybe because mold produces toxins when it feels threatened as a means of self-defense. Mold appears to be able to sense wifi and perhaps other forms of EMR. This along with home construction techniques and tightening up of homes, maybe why mold illness is becoming more and more common. Being highly sensitive to EMR, mold, chemicals and LED lighting (which may relate to dirty electricity) I am using the inheritance I received when my parents passed away in their mid to late 90s to build a non-toxic mold resistant, EMR safe house. I have an EMR consultant and a building biologist consultant. All the electrical wiring in my new house is in MC cable. I decided I needed to avoid the most highly efficient HVAC equipment because of the high amount of dirty electricity produced by variable speed motors. All lighting will be incandescent because that is the only type of artificial lighting that I can tolerate, even there I have to use low wattage and shades. I am being careful as I select appliances to avoid dirty electricity, wifi and other forms of radiation. My computers will be hard wired as they are in my current rental house. My roof and stainless steel counters will be grounded. There will be a whole house dirty electricity filter on the incoming power. I am avoiding solar power because of the dirty electricity from inverters. I will be grid tied. This is an expensive project, I am so fortunate to be able to afford this because of inheritance. Due to having been somewhat chronically ill for 23 years now, and not as resilient as the average adult prior to becoming clearly ill, I would not be able to afford this house otherwise. There is a dramatic shortage of housing that meets the needs of the highly sensitive. I once met a homeless woman in a parking who approached me because she guessed correctly that I was highly sensitive to chemicals because I had worn a respirator into the store. Social services was unable to provide her with housing that met her needs. I brought her home with me to see if she could camp out at my place in a tent, but that didn't work for her. I had to live outdoors for 18 months in 2006-2007 due to my sensitivity, so I understood her plight. Our government needs to recognize that sensitivity to indoor environments is a significant aspect of the homeless crisis.

Across the nation many residents are concerned about the small cell wireless antennas being deployed in our community. These powerful antennas, part of the next generation of wireless technology (5G), are being placed in close proximity to our homes, schools and other places where we engage in the activities of our daily lives, even though there is no science that assures their safety. This is an undeniable risk. The rapid rollout of the next generation in wireless communications known as “5G." In neighborhoods like ours across America, so-called “small cell” antennas need to be installed close to homes and apartments to facilitate this new technology. The deployment raises serious issues that should concern everyone in our community: safety, security, privacy, property values and health. The FCC’s human exposure guidelines for the radio frequency (RF) microwave radiation used for this technology are decades out of date and the agency has dismissed the results of decade-long research on RF microwave radiation and human health completed last year by the National Toxicology Program that showed “clear evidence of carcinogenicity.” Because the health and safety of our families is at stake, we demand a moratorium on further deployment of 5G until it can be proven safe. NOTE: This is a security and privacy issue. Wireless networks are relatively easy to hack compared to fiber-optic wired networks. Data from your phone and other wireless personal or home devices can be easily captured and marketed. In addition, small cell installations have the capacity to house cameras for facial recognition, as they do in China. What guarantees do we have that the technology will not be abused? This is a safety issue. Local zoning codes are meant to protect our safety, but the wireless industry is fighting those codes. Most existing utility poles (the preferred location for small cell antennas because it’s cheap) were not designed to withstand the hundreds of pounds of additional equipment, and severe weather events could bring down the poles, causing damage to our homes and property. Our local officials should have the right to decide where those new antennas and their equipment are placed. But perhaps most troubling is the news about our health. A recent (2018) peer-reviewed study by the National Toxicology Program of the National Institutes of Health – the most prestigious health research organization in the world – proved that exposure to radio frequency (RF) radiation, the kind emitted from all wireless devices and their infrastructure, causes cancer and DNA damage. Not maybe. Their language says there was “clear evidence of carcinogenicity.” We urge you to visit www.AmericansForResponsibleTech.org to learn more about these issues and what you can do to protect your home and family.

I am submitting this comment because we can no longer afford to ignore concerns about our ever-increasing exposure to RF and wireless radiation. My concerns come from my own experience and what I have observed in my family. I spend many hours each day working in my office, where I had a Wi-Fi router sitting on the floor immediately to my left. During that time, I experienced recurrent styes in my left eye, tinnitus in my left ear, left-sided breast pain, difficulty sleeping, nighttime headaches, and brain fog. After learning more about RF radiation, I purchased an RF meter and was shocked by the levels I measured. I began reducing my exposure by hard-wiring my computer and devices and eventually my entire home. My wired connections became more reliable, and over time, my symptoms disappeared. I understand that correlation alone does not establish causation, but rather than dismissing experiences like mine, I urge HHS to fund rigorous, independent research to determine whether there is a causal connection. We owe it to the millions of people exposed every day to find out. My concerns extend to children. I have observed changes in my son and nephews, including difficulties with concentration and focus, as well as changes in mood and behavior, associated with increased use of screens and wireless technology. Our children are growing up surrounded by wireless devices and infrastructure at home, in classrooms, on playgrounds, and throughout their communities. This generation may be among the first exposed to this level of continuous wireless radiation from the earliest stages of life, including during pregnancy. Yet technology has advanced rapidly while questions about long-term, cumulative, and developmental exposure remain. I urge HHS to take a comprehensive, independent, and transparent look at the potential health and environmental effects of RF radiation, including impacts on children and other potentially vulnerable populations, long-term and cumulative exposure, and potential effects on animals, plants, and the broader environment. Please listen to parents, clinicians, researchers, and people reporting changes in their health. Examine the full body of evidence, identify research gaps, and ensure that health recommendations and exposure guidelines keep pace with rapidly expanding wireless technology. We should not wait for another generation of children to grow up before determining whether we have adequately protected them. People deserve transparency, meaningful information about exposure, and the ability to make informed choices for themselves and their families. I urge HHS to act now: investigate the evidence, fund the research, listen to the public, and put public health first. Our children and future generations are depending on us to get this right.

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 myself, as RF affects my brain. I've purchase farday cages for my electronics and purchased an RF meter. I only to cord based speakers not bluetooth based due to the RF effect. Prior to preventing RF in my home my memory was less, my brain was not clear. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation.

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. 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 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

Dr. George Carlo's study and the dangers of wireless were crystal clear. He was hired by the CORRUPT, TREASONOUS, and SEDITIOUS, cell companies to prove that the emf was safe; instead this results showed just the opposite. They then canceled him and the studies and burned down his house. This is how the globalist imperial nazi commie cartel monopolies and oligopolies that run America roll- in every industry and sector. Former Microsoft of Canada's president so that that EMF is unsafe, and that fiber optic should be used instead, which works just as well if not better, plus safe.
