Li-Fi, fiber & alternatives

Dear Sir/Madame, Many thanks indeed for your great work in negating a terrible situation where Radio Frequency, particularly in the microwave band that is rapidly pulsed has caused and is still causing great pain, brain-fog and huge discomfort as well as the loss of health, employment, possessions and the will to live. This article, available online was written in the chaos that ensued immediately after TETRA transmitters were installed and wifi routers became common-place. It is vital common-sense prevails and alternative methods like hard-wired is promoted and mandated until a truly safe and benign form of wireless can be conceived of and established. The article link as follows; https://www.electricsense.com/emf-stories-driven-out-of-my-own-home-by-wifi-radiation/ "(Many thanks to GT for sharing this. If you’ve got an EMF or electrical sensitivity story you'd like to share, please send it through to me.)" Thank You for helping us create and enjoy a safe world without RF pollution and chemical toxins. Thank you for the elevation in consciousness and caring. God bless.

“Less radiation means more well-being! I am Luc, a photographer who used to sell mobile phones and allow antennas on my roof. When I began having health problems, no one could help me. Severe insomnia and intolerances almost killed me, plus I suffered chronic inflammations in my right eye, the eye I used to take photographs. By chance, I discovered a connection between my condition and RF radiation from mobile phone transmitters, Wi-Fi, DECT telephones, etc. I tried shielding my head with metal-woven wire and it stopped the infections. A residential biologist provided clarity and my wireless was reduced to emergencies only. My social contacts did not understand this as they had no complaints (yet). Self-study taught me that the regulations were set up by the industry and have nothing to do with healthy living. A safe future lies ahead for all of us with wired connections. Regards from Belgium

My opening Comment with answers to Questions 1-4: on 260923 I have practiced as a health enhancement (professional) coach for over 26 years. I grew up in a large family on California and became a Mom myself, hoping to someday be a GrandMom, but I have my doubts that I will, since my offspring are terribly confused, having trusted that EMFs "can't be bad, or they wouldn't be allowed" since reaching teenage years. The trusting view was backed by my Mom and Dad, my siblings, and most other family Elders and Youngers - all of whom are addicted to the perceived convenience of technology, with lots of evidence of EMF harms to over half of the family. Sadly, my warnings over the past 30 years, have only helped a few family members who noticed with me that they slept better by turning off wifi and cell phones at night (at least) and got better internet when switching BACK to ethernet cables. Those same few, like 26 years worth of clients, have acknowledged the extreme rise in brain tumors all around us (including members of my family), and the how about half of all people under 30 seek psychiatric services these days (another fact borne out in our large family). The cause of the worst brain tumor in our family was CLEARLY the excessive wireless home phone use, especially once DECT phones were installed in the late 1990s (since those bases are often as harmful as if there was a full-fledged cell tower in the home). Adding to that, the over-use of cell phones, especially inside cars where the radiation is magnified by bouncing many times within the metal cages that make up cars, PLUS so-called Smart Meters, PLUS proliferated cell towers, and now the excessive IOT (Internet of Things) use in most appliances: all these have wreaked havoc on everyone's nervous systems, ability to sleep, and other indirect health effects, in addition to all the direct health issues (like brain tumors) from holding deadly emf devices against ears. My mother developed a Pituitary tumor and took the advice to undergo surgery to remove the tumor, with NO mention by any medical staff that she could help herself by stopping the use of so many EMF devices, especially phones - whose fine print warnings INCLUDE the warning to NOT hold the device closer than 3/4” from the body. Most people glaze over when they see the evidence, and want to believe that the problem is "out there" somewhere... when my family is a typical example of terrible harm from all the forms of radiation adding up. Add to that the burned homes (also in my family) from faulty (or planned) fires originating in problems with Smart Meters, and this testimonial shows ample evidence I have seen professionally AND within my own family, that unbridled EMFs have and ARE causing excessive harm. I have taken MANY steps to clarify these dangers, AND I have acted on my “duty” as an Elder, to point out the harmful effects of corporate and government choices to flood our world with EMFs against all dutiful objections and orders to cease and desist. Other notes I choose to add here are: - I dislike being forced to choose to call myself only 1 of 3 categories: 1. an "Individual"; 2. an "Organization"; or 3. as "Anonymous." I know not to label myself anything other than a Living Woman, so I am stating that here and choosing the least-harmful category: "Anonymous." Also, I object to the term SUBMIT Comment, as I do not understand NOR submit myself or my comments - I am giving this Notice of Liability to all levels of Government, and this Notice to Agents is Notice to Principals just as This Notice to Principals is Notice to Agents. Q. 5: The Precautionary Principle is the most basic guideline for any government to uphold for us, their supposed employers. Q. 6: Ollie Johansen, Debra Davis, and MANY others, including the now-deceased Arthur Firstenberg have published copious evidence of the adverse health effects, especially to Little Ones - easily identified with the majority of people under 30 who have rarely been without excessive EMFs their WHOLE LIVES, as evidenced by their excessive disease and psychiatric needs. Q’s 7-15: The amazing serving men and women listed in Q 6 are joined by 1000s of other studies etc. as expert witnesses & speakers like Elana Freeland, Hans Becker, 1960s Military reports showing damage to burly male soldiers who used EMF devices more than 7 minutes on any one day. Plus, my offspring can look people in the eye & live healthfully compared to other Youngers. Q’s 16-18: The thousands of testimonials, expert statements, and journalism articles I have read myself are EASILY obtainable and read to ensure that the Precautionary Principle should always have been followed, and should STILL be prioritized NOW and in the future, since the role of Government is ONLY to protect people and our assets, AND all Corporations have a duty to serve people and are to lose their Corporate Charters if they do NOT.

Yes, I get headaches and brain fog which I never had when we just had landlines. We need to allow landlines again. We should have a choice in this country.

I experience body inflammation and agitation from EMF. It has gotten worse since fiber optic cable was installed in my neighborhood last spring. Research indicates that it is the subatomic particles leaking through the fiber optic cable and traveling through wires like cable service wires into a house. These subatomic particles are shown to be more damaging to human cells than EMF or any cell tower radiation. This needs to be investigated. People are feeling the ill effects from this and they don't realize what is causing it.

Public Comment to the Federal Communications Commission - I am Kim Konte, founder of Non-Toxic Neighborhoods, a national nonprofit working to protect children from environmental harm where they live, learn, and play. Children are not little adults. Their nervous systems are developing, and they face years of exposure to wireless technology: 4G and 5G networks in their communities, devices in their hands, and Wi‑Fi routers mounted overhead in many classrooms. The country is already planning for 6G, while the FCC continues to rely on radiofrequency exposure limits adopted in 1996. The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans. That classification does not prove that classroom Wi‑Fi causes cancer. It does mean the FCC should take unanswered questions seriously, reduce unnecessary exposure to children, and require independent research focused on their health. Children’s clinicians and independent scientists must have a meaningful voice in setting safety policy. An experimental study reported impaired insulin secretion and increased oxidative stress in the pancreatic cells of rats exposed to Wi‑Fi frequency radiation. It does not establish that Wi‑Fi causes type 2 diabetes in children. It raises a question the FCC should investigate: could long-term exposure affect children’s metabolic health? At a 2019 Senate hearing, Senator Richard Blumenthal asked wireless industry representatives to identify independent research on the biological effects of 5G. They said they were unaware of such studies. He concluded: “We’re kind of flying blind here, as far as health and safety is concerned.” The National Toxicology Program’s 2018 animal studies found “some evidence” of cancer in male rats exposed to 2G and 3G cell-phone signals. Those studies did not test 5G or the combination of wireless exposures children experience today. A federal appeals court later found that the FCC had failed to adequately explain its decision to retain its exposure limits, including its response to evidence about children and long-term exposure. The FCC must answer the court, require independent research focused on children, and stop treating wireless access as the only way to connect a classroom. Schools should use hardwired internet as the default and limit wireless exposure wherever practical. Children’s health must come before the next wireless rollout.

Thank you for the opportunity to tell my personal story about how I'm affected by RF radiation. I’m 69, a white female, & have been chemically sensitive for 40 years. I started noticing electro-magnetic sensitivity 10-15 years ago. I keep my cell phone in Airplane Mode. We turned off the Wi-Fi in our home & hard-wired my computer. I wear RF-shielding gloves while working on the PC to protect my fingertips from burning. On July 9, 2018, the Pacific Power Company came to our home to install an electrical Smart Meter. Minutes later, I was standing in my kitchen & the new Smart Meter was 6 feet away on the other side of the house wall. My heart started fluttering but I shrugged it off. Suddenly, my heart JUMPED around in my chest radically. I ran out of the house. My husband called Pacific Power, asking them to remove the new meter but they said the employee who had just installed it & was still in the neighborhood wasn’t qualified to uninstall it. We waited 3 days for the electric company to come. I was still healing from a double mastectomy & my health felt fragile. Finally, my husband removed the Smart Meter himself, replacing it with an analog meter he had access to. My heart continued fluttering for a week afterwards & my doctor sent me to the ER. No permanent damage to my heart was found. The ER doctor suggested I was having panic attacks but I knew better. A few weeks later, the electric company finally got back to us &, discovering the Smart Meter had been removed, were livid. We were threatened & fined. When we refused to allow them to remove & replace the analog meter, they cut off the electricity to our home. The food in our freezer had begun to thaw by the time we realized our electricity was out. Feeling very coerced, we agreed to let Pacific Power install what they assured us was a “Non-RF-emitting” meter. They had sworn the Smart Meter was safe, too, but we seemed to have little choice. We felt very bullied. In addition to a fine, we had to pay $139 to officially uninstall the Smart Meter & switch to a non-RF-emitting meter. Since that time, we’ve also paid a monthly fee that customers with a Smart Meter do not have to pay. The non-RF-emitting meter hasn’t caused me any further problems with cardiac arrhythmia. How is it that we have to pay extra money to keep a life-threatening device off the wall of our home? I hope someday to be legally validated & reimbursed by the Pacific Power company for the trauma, pain & suffering they've caused me. I’ve also had problems with RF sensitivity at church since Smart Meters were installed. The metal fillings in my teeth seem to attract RF & exposure makes my jaw ache. I get a sharp headache at my temples & brain fog from too much RF. I’ve stopped wearing metal, especially near my head & heart. I’ve purchased faraday cages for two of the Smart Meters at church so I can socialize & attend baptisms. The effect of too much RF exposure is delayed & hard to notice until I lie down in quietness & feel my limbs buzzing. The buzzing is subtle while I’m busy. I start groaning & feeling cranky. When I finally lie down to rest, the buzzing becomes very apparent & uncomfortable. It takes hours to resolve. A new cell tower was proposed this summer to be built next to my church of 43 years. I spoke to our county’s planning commission in opposition to the new tower. I was shocked to learn that federal law prohibits the planning commission from considering any health objections to the approval of a new cell tower… WHAT?!! Health concerns are the most critical reason not to build a cell tower near schools, hospitals, churches, & in residential areas. I hope that law is repealed ASAP. By God’s grace, the new next-door cell tower was not approved. For folks with electro-magnetic sensitivity like me, “progress” in this modern world is scary. How long will we be able to find safe places to live? My heart goes out to people who are being irradiated by RF & don’t feel the adverse effects so that they act to protect themselves. I trust it’s just a matter of time before those in power decide to prioritize public health over technological growth & profit. I’ve been able to build a relatively safe environment for myself here at home. In a healthy environment, I feel strong & sassy. I can tolerate excursions into town for appointments & groceries. Sometimes, though, after a long day of exposures to chemicals & RF radiation, I become so drowsy that driving is dangerous. The after-effects of heavy exposure cause me to almost pass out. I usually recover from these exposures by falling into bed & sleeping it off but I have to get home safely first. What a waste of human energy, focus, & productivity these environmental toxins are causing. I’m delighted you’re taking a serious look at these things & how they’re affecting people, animals, & plants. Thank you for listening & good luck!

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 as a parent, individual consumer, and concerned resident of the North Houston, Texas, area. I do not have one specific diagnosed health event to report. My concern is the rapidly increasing, involuntary, and continuous nature of RF/EMF exposure in our communities—and the possibility of negative health effects developing over years of cumulative exposure. Our area has recently experienced the installation of thousands of new utility poles, along with additional cell extenders, small-cell equipment, and towers. Families are being surrounded by wireless infrastructure without meaningful notice, informed consent, health monitoring, or practical ways to avoid or reduce their exposure. I am especially troubled that cell towers have been placed at local fire stations. Firefighters already face significant occupational exposures from smoke, combustion byproducts, contaminated protective equipment, diesel exhaust, disrupted sleep, and chronic stress. They should not be subjected to another continuous environmental exposure where they work, eat, sleep, and recover. However, my concern is not limited to towers at fire stations. I want the cell towers, cell extenders, and small-cell equipment throughout our North Houston communities removed—not simply relocated from fire stations to another neighborhood. Moving this infrastructure closer to another family, school, childcare facility, workplace, or public space does not resolve the underlying concern. Reliable communication service is important, but I do not want perfect wireless coverage when it may come at the expense of our health. Faster speeds and uninterrupted connectivity should not automatically take priority over the well-being of children, families, first responders, and communities. Children are of particular concern because they are exposed from very young ages and may experience this exposure throughout their lives. Wireless signals now come from many sources simultaneously, including towers, small cells, Wi-Fi routers, phones, tablets, wearable devices, smart meters, appliances, vehicles, schools, and neighboring homes. Our bodies and nervous systems are given little meaningful break from this constant background exposure. I urge HHS to investigate potential negative health effects associated with long-term and cumulative RF/EMF exposure, including possible effects on sleep, neurological and autonomic nervous-system function, cognition, behavior, headaches, reproductive health, immune function, development, and cancer risk. The absence of an immediate or easily identifiable symptom should not be treated as proof that continuous lifetime exposure is harmless. Research and safety evaluations must reflect real-world conditions—not one device or frequency tested in isolation. Studies should examine continuous lifetime exposure, simultaneous exposure from multiple sources, pulsed and modulated signals, potential non-thermal biological effects, exposure during pregnancy and childhood, occupational exposure among firefighters, antenna density, and cumulative neighborhood exposure. This research should be conducted by independent experts in medicine, neurology, biology, epidemiology, pediatrics, reproductive health, occupational health, and public health, with strong safeguards against industry conflicts of interest. I am asking federal, state, and local authorities to stop further expansion of wireless towers and small-cell infrastructure in our communities and establish a process for removing the equipment already installed. Communities deserve clear disclosure, exposure measurements, meaningful authority over infrastructure placement, and access to safer wired alternatives. Technology should serve people without requiring constant and unavoidable exposure. We should not have to choose between participating in modern society and protecting our families’ health. Please place long-term human health ahead of convenience and ever-increasing wireless coverage.

Conditions at home, in an apartment: periods of stinging skin, internal heating (like I'm being 'cooked'), irritation-agitation-disruption of focus & activities. I'm using a minimum of electronic devices, many of which I operate wired and through ethernet, and mostly NOT 'smart' devices loaded with sensors.

The mounting evidence on nnEMF on human health, especially our children is irrefutable. Brain tumors, I now have one, Autism, Thyroid and Endocrine disorders, Cancers at a much younger age. The data is exponential on a tangent with the rise of cell towers and antennas everywhere. Lambda waves strengthen the energy, Human safety ignored. The evidence is extensive. You must create safe spaces for children to thrive as human beings not as techno creations. We can communicate safely on light. We can use wired technology as well. Stop the madness. Educate the public on the dangers. There is still time. I have too many files ro upload. The data is there. Just look at the absense of nature in areas where nnEMF is strong. No birds, bees, ducks, etc. Every living creature is being affected. Please help.
