The commenter reports fatigue, sweating and blurred vision on wireless-equipped public transport, describ…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
1. & 2. I am responding as: an individual 3a. Type of wireless or RF/EMF sources involved (e.g., mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters…)Public transport equipped with wireless technology (trams, busses, trains, planes), where nearly all passengers are constantly scrolling on their cell phones. 3b. Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years):I have been experiencing health issues since 2020 when 5G was introduced in Belgium and in most other EU countries. An average tram ride takes 10-20 minutes, a domestic European flight 2-4 hours. My body always responds to the EMF. That's why I avoid public transport, and when I do have to take a bus, tram or train I always look for a seat away from other passengers. I often change 2-4 times of seat when new passengers get up and all the seats around me get taken. But sometimes there is "no escape" possible. 3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced:A fatigue overwhelms me, I start sweating and my vision gets blurred. I have had light cataract since 2021. Once home (low radiation home) it takes half an hour to a few hours before the symptoms disappear. But of course my cataract does not disappear. 3d. Time from first exposure to first appearance of adverse health effects; and did a change in exposure coincide with the onset of adverse effects:According to the intensity of the EMF, adverse health effects appear within about 15 minutes to an hour. The fuller a bus, tram or train compartment, the faster the effects. 3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis?Although I gave my family physician scientific information on the impact of EMF, he is not interested in the matter. After I gave him the information I asked his opinion during the 2 next consultations (over a period of 1-2 years). He twice said that he did not have had the time yet to read through the information. For the majority of the medical establishment there is a taboo, omerta on the topic! 3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects?I avoid public transport. I rather walk or bike. 3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information:I have not found yet any studies on EMF in public transport. But there is this website https://carsradiation.org/ Additional Details you would like to share about your experiences of adverse health effects you believe to be associated with exposure to wireless radiation or EMF's: B1a. Sources you experience as causing you Adverse Effects:public transport (bus, tram, train, plane), mobile phones, wi-fi B1b. Sources you can sense, but don't seem to harm you:No idea. B1c. Sources you can use without sensing or being harmed:No idea. B1d. Sources that seem to provide benefit (i.e., electrotherapy):Yoga and a shiatsue massage every 3-4 weeks to calm my nervous system. Gardening, being in nature. B2a. Health conditions you think may contribute to your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless:These are not health conditions but may be related to my sensitivity; empathy with all life, great sense of responsibiity. B2b. Health conditions you don't necessarily associate with your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless, but might be relevant: B3. For each subquestion please list up to 5 drugs or therapies or home remedies (if any) B3a. That you recommend, as they helped you tolerate or recover from EMF exposure:yoga shiatsu organic food intermittent fasting B3b. That you recommend, but you’re not positive that they help:supplements: omega 3, vitamine D, organic herbal teas. B3c. That helped you but you don’t recommend. (e.g., the benefit did not last long or the side effects were too harmful): B3d. Treatments that had no effect: B3e. Treatments that made your sensitivity worse:65-74 B4. What is your age range?65-74 B5. What year did you become aware of your sensitivity to wireless radiation or electromagnetic fields?2020 B6. What country, state, province, or major city were you living in when you first noticed your sensitivity to wireless or electromagnetic fields?Belgium, Flanders

Reports sleep disturbance associated with a neighbor's Wi-Fi, recounts friends' vision loss and cancer at…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Many thanks to you for taking public comments on the damaging consequences to health from the electromagnetic radiation (EMR) emitted by all high-tech devices. Until about 15 or 20 years ago, I never had any trouble sleeping in my entire life. Then, suddenly, from one day to the next, I had tremendous trouble sleeping. I could not get to sleep for hours, I could not stay asleep, or get back to sleep when I woke up throughout the night. I was mystified, because NOTHING had changed in my health or my life. After several months of this, I happened to hear an alternative health show on the radio. The topic was dangers to health and life from EMR. Often, the show's expert host said, the first consequence people notice is trouble sleeping. I realized a new neighbor had moved in when the trouble started. She confirmed she had installed WiFi in her apartment. The day the WiFi was installed, my sleep problems began. There has been irrefutable confirmation in the subsequent years. When I have traveled to countries where no one has cell phones or WiFi, I slept like a baby again. When I have traveled to heavily wired places, I could only manage to sleep 4 hours a night, and I need 8. Close friends have suffered more severely. One friend has spent 20 or 30 years using Bluetooth in his car to make phone calls. He spends 3 or 4 hours a day using Bluetooth, as he drives from job to job for the business he owns. The Bluetooth is in his left ear. He is now almost entirely blind in his left eye. The radiation has beamed straight into his optic nerve. A parade of ophthalmologists can find no other cause. Another friend lived a completely wired life. She had a cell phone, and a Tesla that charged in her garage, on the other side of her bedroom wall. She also had a cordless phone, which means she essentially had a cell tower in her living room spewing radiation. She had powerful WiFi throughout her home. She used a laptop computer, which she literally sat on her lap, its screen aimed at her midriff. The lymphoma that killed her started in her midriff. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, where the computer revolution began. Since we were the "early adopters" of this technology, we've been using it the longest. It takes years of exposure to EMR for the most serious conditions to manifest, and here at Ground Zero everyone knows people who have experienced the consequences. Glioblastoma brain tumors, for instances, show up in the general population at rates unheard-of in past years, and at younger and younger ages. Brittany Maynard, the poster child of the right-to-die movement in California, was 28 years old when she died of a glioblastoma brain tumor. She had to move from California to Oregon to obtain doctors' help in cutting short the suffering leading to her inevitable death. To provide some scientific support for the “anecdotal” claims made in my comment, please see the following articles (pdfs of these articles are also attached to the comment): • Electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS, microwave syndrome) – Review of mechanisms (2020) https://maisonsaine.ca/uploads/cem-electrosmog/ehs-mechanisms-ys-iu.pdf • Interpretation of epidemiological studies on the relationship between mobile phone use and cancer (2025) https://www.emfdata.org/en/studies/detail?id=942) • Effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure on cancer in laboratory animal studies, a systematic review” (2025) (https://www.emfdata.org/en/studies/detail?id=942, • Assessment of electromagnetic fields, vibration and sound exposure effects from multiple transceiver mobile phones on oxidative stress levels in serum, brain and heart tissue (2020) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2468227620300090. • EUROPAEM EMF Guideline 2016 for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of EMF-related health problems and illnesses https://www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi/10.1515/reveh-2016-0011/html

Requests consumer-protection legislation addressing 5G marketing and service shortfalls, refunds, and con…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Urgent Legislative Action Required: Protecting Citizen Rights and Holding Telecoms Accountable for the 5G Infrastructure Deficit As a citizen and a consumer, I am submitting this comment to demand immediate legislative intervention regarding 5G network deployments and telecommunications marketing. For years, telecom conglomerates have used grand promises of technological revolution—combined with fear-based marketing tactics—to coerce the public into expensive 5G data plans. However, the reality we face today is a severely fragmented network, unstable connectivity, and unfulfilled promises. While these corporations reaped record profits by charging premium rates, they systematically failed to invest in the robust infrastructure they guaranteed. Furthermore, the forced phasing out or artificial slowing down of stable legacy networks like LTE has stripped citizens of their right to affordable, reliable communication. This is no longer just a market issue; it is a failure of consumer protection and public interest. Therefore, I urge lawmakers to enact strict legislation that: 1. Penalizes deceptive marketing and holds telecom companies legally accountable for infrastructure deficits. 2. Enforces mandatory refunds or rate reductions for areas where promised 5G speeds and stability are not met. 3. Guarantees consumer sovereignty by protecting the right to access affordable, reliable, and unthrottled legacy networks. Public airwaves and national infrastructure must serve the common good of the citizens, not the insatiable greed of corporate monopolies. We demand accountability, transparency, and immediate legislative action.

Raises a broad concern about interacting exposures across biological and other systems and limitations of…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
See attached file(s) I am doing my best to expose a major multiple systems problem that goes way beyond human biology and crosses into many systems responding simultaneously to multiple exposures. We are more than human and what we are is much broader than our system realizes, and the narrowness of our systemic structures fails us.

Reports digestive symptoms with laptop contact and dizziness near phones, describes wired and distance-ba…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
When holding the laptop in my lap, on my thighs, I get stomach cramps and then diarrhea. This happens consistently. The laptop cannot be touching my body (only finger tips). I needed to take Imodium AD each time to control the diarrhea. The laptop is now kept as far away form my body as possible and put on airplane mode or wired. The cell phone cannot be near my head, as it makes me VERY dizzy. The mobile phone is put on speaker phone and placed on a surface, such as a table or counter top. As cell phones and computer connections have increased from 3G, then 4G and now 5G - - the symptoms have gotten worse and more intense. Health conditions I have that may contribute to sensitivity to EMFs including wireless: Primary Immunodeficiency Disease (Common Variable Immunodeficiency) Health conditions not necessarily associated with my sensitivity to EMFs including wireless, but might be relevant: Migraines and Allergic Asthma The only thing that seems to help is to avoid the wireless phone and the laptop computer from touching my body.
