Li-Fi, fiber & alternatives

I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. this is a personal story related to my health and the desk top i got and then lap tops. from the very beginning i could feel my heart start to pound after using that computer after about an hour...but i kept saying just a little bit more and i would go and go and by the time i made myself get off, my heart would really be pounding and my eyes all blurry. and it has been that way ever since, even now with the lap top i have. I have had heart problems ever since. i just try to get on lap top to see how i can serve in the world and get off as soon as i can. it also just makes me feel dingy. i hate the feeling and try to stay away from it as much as possible. i do not have the phone on unless i am going to use it and have a land line. i turn off the lap top all day unless i need it for a minute or two i KNOW it had ruined my eyes.

Hello, yes, my health has been terribly affected, since SMART METERS, 56 TOWERS, ALL OF IT! I have had to opt out of my homes smart meters, because I was going to die, and almost did die,,due to the horrible affects on my personal health and safety, P;EASE BAN ALL SMART METERS, go back to only the ANALOG METERS, FOR GAS, ELECTRIC AND WATER,,,The water smart meter, was microwaving me,,,and turning my skin red,,,my BP has risen and I have sever anxiety, all thatnks to these MONSTER METERS!~!! i WOULD LOVE TO COME TO CAPITAL HILL AND TESTIFY ABOUT THE PROVELMS AND MY DOCTOR HAS WRITTEN LETTERS, CONCERNING MY HEALTH PROBLEMS, not to mention the fire hazards, sudden increase iin fires, deaths, from house s exploding into fires,,,and killing innocent people children babies and precious animals in facotry farms where they should never be those also need to be banned!~ PLEASE BAN ALL SMART METERS, WIFI ROUTERS THAT ARE ON 5G, ETC, I have had to use an ethernet chord , as I also cannot have wifi or routers,,,in my home,,but when I go to jobs or places with the meters, I become ill again!~

I am unable to use my phone regularly as I get extreme rashes and I can feel my skin burning. I can tell if the signal is on or off just by holding the phone. My internet and cell phone are hardwired at my home as living would otherwise be unbearable.

I’m a 46 year old mother of 2. Grew up in the 80s. Times have certainly changed. No one talks anymore - no one looks up anymore. They are constantly neck down staring drooling fixating on blue screen - zombie like circadian rhythm disruption so obvious almost as it was meant to provide harm. Cell phone towers next to schools and parks - dumbing the masses down. I have seen the decline of our children our young adults and ourselves slowly. No one is living in real life anymore just in the bubble of wireless nothingness. Radiation is very real - please make these signals harmonious- like the hertz that heal. Make America Wired again!

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 someone who is personally negatively affected by wireless radiation. When they built a cell tower too close to my home, we had to spent a great deal of money to hire people to evaluate how we could protect ourselves from it. Special paints. Special curtains. We are hard-wired to the internet. We do have a wifi router we can use but we cover it with special radiation reducing materials and we limit the times we use it. This personal. And many more suffer a lot more than me from it's effects. 5G is even worse. 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.

Hello: 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 submit this for myself, my children, my community, the environment, and the world. In approximately 2009/2010 I became sensitive to wireless radiation and thought at one point that I would become one of the people on the street living in my car to get away from it. I have watched my mother, my children, and many others react to this radiation. It is so difficult now to get away from it, there are few places left that are not contaminated with this radiation. For myself, my symptoms around the radiation are that I get red in the face, eye pain, dry eyes, prickly feelings on the top of my head, body aches and pains, then trouble breathing, feelings of panic, then short term memory loss, and at my worst, I began blacking out. I have used shielding paints, put metal sides on my home, hard wired computers, stayed away from coffee shops, and even moved to the country to get away from this radiation. When I live in it, I cannot sleep, cannot get comfortable, am irritable and sick. When I am shielded from it or have little of it, I am never ill. Since it is clear that this radiation is dangerous and makes people ill, it should be regulated. I have read scientific studies in the Bioinitiative Report. Also those on the website for the Environmental Health Trust. I have read the studies on the website powerwatch.org.uk as well as many other sites. I have had to hire Building Biologists to help me shield myself in my home. I have seen how this radiation affects the health and the emotional state of our children. Secretary Kennedy and HHS, please take an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. The Agencies like HHS should be looking at actual science including most importantly independent scientists. An Agency should use the precautionary principle in assessing harm to human health. It should be skeptical of what industry says, and what industry funds. Please use what I and others report in terms of health effects, as people across the world report the same or similar health effects from this radiation. It is time that the health effects to people and the environment are looked at front and center and not swept under the rug. The birds, bees, bats, people, pets, insects, and all life, is suffering from this radiation in our environment 24/7. There is more than enough evidence right now of the health effects and effects on wildlife and our pets to take action now. What are we waiting for? Anything that can be hardwired should be hardwired. Any wireless should be a last resort.

This is an addition to my previous report (pasted below as well) Copy of previous report below ID: HHS-OASH-2026-0397-0001 I am 100% certain, I could pass a double-blind experiment. If I hold an Apple phone for 5 minutes I start feeling sick. So, for the study, an Apple phone that is on could be rotated with one that is completely turned off. I'm certain about few things in life, but am certain here, that I would be 100% accurate in indicating which phone is on. I was an office administrator, sat next to servers and routers for years. I noticed if I spent the whole weekend in my bedroom (shared rental) I'd feel unwell. I retired in 2020 and got really sick like I was being poisoned. Doctors couldn't figure it out and I was having thoughts that I'd have to leave this world if it continued. An EMF expert came to my home and said my 2 cordless phones were putting out 60,000mw of RF each. I start feeling sick at 60mw. At night, the house router was on the other side of the wall, a few feet from my head and he said with the smart TV at my feet, it was like baking in a microwave oven. I got rid of cordless phones, hard-wired my devices and changed to ethernet and felt a lot better. However, I can't go to libraries, concerts, church, some restaurants and coffee shops with lots of RF or strong routers. I get dizzy, my energy goes down, then I feel nausea and like my whole body is being poisoned. I visited a friend in the hospital and was sick within 15 minutes and had to leave after 20 mins and I was weaving as I walked out, I was so sick. I went to a talk in a library and started feeling sick. Another woman told me she was feeling sick too. I looked up and saw there was a huge wi-fi router above our heads. After about 10 mins after we moved away, we started feeling better. There was a coffee shop about 20 of us met at, and 5 of us would get sick because the router was running such high wi-fi frequency. It's very sad and depressing for me to not be able to go to the senior center to play cards or hear talks and I often can't go to card games. I can't take a bus, train or airplane trip with everyone's cell phones and the RF on the vehicles. Can’t ride in friend’s EV cars and so I haven’t been able to take a trip for 15 years. My life is very limited now. I can no longer work in offices and am in financial hardship because there are few places I can work because most require being near wi-fi equipment. I do some caregiving, but I often feel sick if I have to work close to a router and their phones and computers. It's taken a toll on my finances and physical and emotional well-being.

Cell phone radiation can actually kill me. I suffer from severe myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) and environmental sensitivities (which includes electrosensitivity). EMFs and RF can put me in a state of being bedbound in excruciating pain, with no energy or strength to attend to the activities of daily living, leaving me in survival mode. They are one of the causes of post-exertional malaise, a cardinal symptom of ME. I got initially sick because of mold and the literature in environmental medicine is starting to link electrosensitivity secondary to mold exposure. Being away from every environmental trigger is the only way for my health not to worsen. Everything is wired at my place; I don't have Wi-Fi, a smart meter, cell phone service, or anything like that, and I generally have to be 2km away from a cell tower to avoid experiencing symptoms of electromagnetic hypersensitivity. My health sanctuary is vital to me and is the only solution to prevent my health from deteriorating.

Around twelve years ago I had a cell phone that I kept for emergencies still preferring wired technologies. My wired service went down and I used my cell phone for around an hour long conversation with a friend. Later that evening, I felt a gland in my neck, underneath my jaw on the right side, swell up and become painful. The next morning I was quite sick with a sore throat and other symptoms that lasted around a week. I had no doubt that the phone was responsible. I had also noticed a slightly painful and tingling sensation running from my right hand and up my forearm whenever I held the cell phone while using it. I've since completely avoided using cell phones but I no longer can. Recently, in Boise, Idaho where I live, CenturyLink has joined with Qwest and is discontinuing all wired telephone services. CELL PHONES THE CAUSE OF BELL'S PALSY PERHAPS? Following this injury I began to research the possibilities of harm due to cell phones being held against the body. A researcher in Norway had published a book (I can't recall the title or author) with each chapter consisting of reports of individuals who experienced physical harm due to cell phone use. I read a sample chapter online that described where a man was experiencing numbness and paralysis on the right side of his face next to his mouth. Over time the numbness began to spread along his cheek, down his throat and eventually down the right side of his body. The doctors who saw him were at a loss as to the cause. Eventually, he decided that his cell phone might be the cause and quit using it. It was and fortunately his condition then reversed itself and he healed. After this he never allowed wireless technologies in his car or home. Coincidentally, just after reading that chapter, I met a physician friend and a friend of his at a wine bar near where I lived. The two of them began talking about a health problem the doctor's friend was experiencing -- the very condition I had just read about. Only his facial numbness was just spreading from the right side of his mouth across his check and not down the right side of his body yet. He told the doctor, my friend, who had recommended the neurologist he was seeing, that the neurologist was considering putting him on antiseizure medications. I interrupted and asked him if he was a heavy cell phone user. He said yes. I asked him if he held the phone on the right side of his face. His eyes got very big as he considered that this was the cause of his facial numbness. I then told him what I had just read. I do not know the outcome having not spoken with him after that. Also, among many other sources, I read "Cellular Telephone Russian Roulette" by Robert C. Kane, a PhD electrical engineer, who developed the technology for Motorola Corporation. He was convinced of its safety and volunteered to be a user prior to mass production and marketing of the product to test its safety. He developed brain tumors and had no doubt that the cell phone was the cause of his tumors. Prior to his death due to the tumors, he heroically did everything he could to warn of the dangers and was entirely ignored, and worse, by the industry and regulatory agencies. For the industry and regulatory agencies to claim there was no valid research and findings (several reported of in Kane's book) of harm due to usage quite upsets me. For example; the book reported that rats demonstrated Alzheimer's disease symptoms in a laboratory environment when exposed to RF radiation comparable to typical human cell phone usage and exposure.

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 patient. I have electro magnetic radiation syndrome (diagnosis code W90.0). I was intensely exposed seven years ago and have had to change entirely how I live my life. I have to live in a basement and the entire apartment is wired. I have limited access to public places, and can't be around very many people. I had to stay in a hospital and was very ill shortly after discharge. I am a ,ember of emrsyndrome.org, which has helped save my health greatly! I am hoping that HHS Kennedy's investigation will help save many lives! 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.
