Attributes changes in relatives’ political affiliation to nearby 5G towers.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
The only I really noticed after 5g towers were installed around some family members is they switched from Democrat to Republican. Nothing else changed so I think 5g causes people to turn Republican, which is weird because that's the base that's wants to stop 5g

Reports illness near a kitchen smart meter and relief after removal, with a recurring opt-out charge.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am definitely affected by EMF. When a smart meter was put in my garage by Duke energy in 2020 the area was close to my kitchen. I had family dinners once a month for about 8 people. At some point I noticed when I was in the kitchen too long usually making the big dinner after an hour or so I felt like I had the flu and could barely make it to my bedroom at the far end of the house to lay down. I would usually fall asleep for an hour or 2 and wake up and feel fine. After this happened a few times I realized it never happened before 2020 and I never felt so sick in my bedroom where I stayed most of the time working, watching tv and eating. My bedroom is the furthest from the smartmeter. A few times I made a lunch that took a lot of time and by the time I finished cooking it I felt so sick I could only get a couple bites down and had to throw the rest away and lay down. I bought an EMF meter to monitor the bad areas. At night I get my computer and my cell phone out of my bedroom and close them in another room. I called Duke and made them remove the smartmeter. They charge me an extra $30 a month because of that. I've never lived close to a 5G tower.

Attributes headaches, tingling and irritation to towers and wireless devices, and questions hearing-aid e…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Thank you SO very much for looking into this.You asked for comments from those affected by EMF: I experience flashes of headaches often times while driving, and it's always when I'm close to one or between two of those big towers. The headaches go away after getting away from the tower(s.) Additionally, since moving to an apartment building a couple years ago, (I think it's due to being surrounded by multiple wi-fi systems) I began experiencing a crawling, tingling, muscular ache that goes up both my legs and to my "behind" when I'm sleeping- it wakes me up. I often wake up, now, with red, irritated eyes. I purchased EMF blocking socks and clothing and it does stop the body muscular "weirdness" from happening, but not the eyes, as they're not covered. I think it's sad to have to wrap up head to toe in a shield in order to be able to sleep peacefully. Additionally, I lost part of my hearing a few years ago and need hearing aids, but there are currently zero hearing aids available that don't put out dangerously high levels of EMF. I worked with Sara Swann a Beltone Hearing Specialist in Hurricane, WV, to try to find some that put out at 2 or below (zero is the the only "safe" radiation level, but Sara could find no hearing aids that didn't register/put out at least 28 on the EMF meter I carried into my visits with me. She went to the Beltone conference with an EMF meter and had the Beltone specialists try to fix the hearing aids so they wouldn't emit these dangerous levels, but no one could do this. Turning off the bluetooth connection between the hearing aids and the phones was recommended, but not effective, because the hearing aids still transmit wirelessly between the two hearing aids -- right through a person's brain -- and still put out at these high levels of 28. I'm sure very few people wearing these hearing aids know of these dangerous levels being emitted directly into their brains. It's the same dangerous story with cell phones, you'll likely know- those register at levels 3 to 4 times higher than the hearing aids, often in intermittent pulses, and especially when receiving a phone call. I purchased RadEnergy EMF protection phone cases at this link https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CVQPKZLC and measured the EMF of the phone out of the case, and then in the case, and the EMF was around 10 times HIGHER with the case ON. I did take videos of this. I believe these cases were manufactured in China, and I think this is an attack on innocent people. Thank you, once again, for ALL you are doing for us, Secretary Kennedy, and staff. I am so very thankful for you and your hard work for the betterment of our health not only since becoming Secretary, but the many years before.

Describes an undiagnosed rash and welts suspected to be frequency-related.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have been struggling with an intense rash that began last Nov. I have not been able to get a diagnosis but believe it may be urticaria vasculitis.At times it feels like I am dealing with the aftermath of a burn. I think it is frequency related.I have been covered from head to toe in welts and plaques the size of a dinner plate.

Describes childhood Ewing sarcoma treatment with cobalt radiation, survival and serious late effects, and…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Introduction In 1961, I was five years old and was diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma. The tumor, considered lethal at that time, was located in my left leg, between the tibia and fibula. I was immediately treated with cobalt radiation treatments. Chemotherapy was not available at that time. Background The treatment was done via Palm Harbor Hospital in Garden Grove, CA by Dr. John Knauer in 1961 and was considered rather experimental, since the usual approach was immediate amputation of the diseased limb. My evidence is anecdotal. Results and Analysis Since this treatment was fairly new, I received a substantial dose of cobalt radiation to my left leg, while protected with a lead sheet. After a few weeks, my leg turned dark brown and atrophied in a bent position. The brown surface skin would peel off if rubbed. My leg stopped growing. I developed a deep gaping wound where my calf used to be, which never healed and was always raw and full of pus. Several skin graft surgeries were attempted but did not take. Physical therapy was attempted, but, after two years of trying, the wound was still there and hadn't improved and my leg was still bent and hadn't grown. However, I was alive and free of cancer. After two years, the disparity between my two legs increased and the leg was amputated above the left knee. I have a short stump and x-rays show the residual femur is quite thin. Long Term Outcomes For 65 years, I have led a normal life with no further major issues and no recurrence of Ewing's sarcoma. I use an artificial leg and have some scoliosis. I hav three healthy children. At 43, I had a partial thyroidectomy due to a benign cyst. At the age of 70, I was diagnosed with a basal cell carcinoma on my collar bone. I have osteoporosis and arthritis in my spine, right hip, and right knee. X-rays reveal my pelvis is partially malformed, and my residual left femur is very thin. Late effects from that era are the same radiation injuries seen with any mega voltage therapy, often more extensive because of the beam geometry and the doses then used. Long-term follow-up of patients treated on cobalt units, and of childhood-cancer cohorts that include the cobalt years, consistently finds these late effects: • Fibrosis, atrophy, and poor wound healing in the treated field, driven by obliterating endarteritis. • Growth arrest and deformity when growing bone was in the field. A PENTEC review of childhood spine irradiation found clinically significant scoliosis after doses of about 15 Gy or more in infants, and grade 2 or higher scoliosis after 30 Gy in children irradiated at ages 2 to 6. Height loss was more common when large spinal segments were treated before puberty to more than 20 Gy. The review notes that orthovoltage and cobalt beams were worse than later techniques because of dose gradients across the vertebrae. • Second cancers in the irradiated volume, usually after a latency of 10 to 30 years or more. In Ewing sarcoma survivors, a Childhood Cancer Survivor Study analysis found a 14.3% cumulative incidence of subsequent neoplasms at 35 years (standardized incidence ratio 7.8). Breast cancer and osteosarcoma in the field were the standouts; the osteosarcoma SIR was 377. • Musculoskeletal and cardiac morbidity in the same Ewing cohorts. Relative risk of a musculoskeletal condition was 18.1 and of a cardiac condition 1.8. By 35 years, 85% had at least one chronic condition and 74% had two or more. Treatment-related death, not recurrence, became a major cause of late mortality. • A British Columbia series that specifically separated eras found patients treated on cobalt-60 units from 1960 to 1982, then on linear accelerators after 1983. Among survivors of five years or more, 77% had a late complication; musculoskeletal problems were the most common (50%), then cardiac toxicity (28%). Actuarial second-neoplasm risk was 5% at 10 years. • Organ-specific injury matching the field: A German review estimates that about 8% of second solid tumors in adult radiotherapy patients are radiation-induced, roughly 3 extra tumors per 1,000 patients at 10 years, with latency from months to decades. Recommendations I would like to see more studies on late effects of cobalt radiation and would recommend an intense educational program for the benefits of today's safer forms of radiation therapy. Conclusions In the early 60s radiation therapy dosages were experimental. More studies of late effects of cobalt radiation would add to data that could prove valuable today. A deep education of the public about benefits would counter deep public distrust. I survived a lethal form of bone cancer thanks to early detection and cobalt radiation treatment.

Attributes ear pain and hair loss to meters, Wi-Fi and electronics, describes mitigation and financial ba…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hello, Before I start, I want to say that I had my whole eardrum replaced in 87 as a doc flushed my ear out so hard, the whole side of my neck was killing me and had black stuff coming from ear and needed a new ear drum. Living on a farm in Gorham Maine yrs. ago, I was in our garden and someone was doing something on the 1 bedroom house I was renting and didn't think much of it till every 2 mins. I was getting stabbing sharp pain in my eardrum and didn't know why. My cat was looking around at nothing going on. This went on for a while till I found out the landlord allowed a smart meter on house. When I learned about Analog, I had it removed and problem was solved. Now I live in a town called Westbrook Maine, the week I moved in, I had meter changed to Digital, they claim they can't get parts for Analog which is another lie. They can put Satellite's in space but no parts for meters. The Public is beyond sick of being lied too. I have a neighbor downstairs who keeps Wifi on 24/7 and a neighbor to the left of me doing the same. I have no Wifi in my Apt and everything is hard wired, yet I have been losing my hair since moving in. I can feel a sensation on my head, gentle pull on that area and hair comes out. I can feel it coming from light sockets on my skin and I went from 1 old Lenovo laptop which was ok but it didn't support windows 11 so I had to get a Lenovo Yoga and I feel the strength of EMF coming from screen. My neighbor is also losing hair but she doesn't want to hear it. I am only 66 yrs. old and this has been going on for 3 yrs. The biggest problem I find with Tech is they create something without being MADE TO make sure it is safe 1st. An example is Halogen car lights or even other car lights, or LED lights, did anyone EVER consult with eye experts to see if any of these lights were safe to public? My answer is no. They are allowed to create anything without knowing safety 1st. I worked for 2 manufacturing Incandescent light bulbs, both factories moved to Mexico in the 80's and 90's. From what I understand, the court ordered FCC or someone to test safety of EMF and they gave the finger to the courts and did nothing. I took Cosmetology at my Trade school so I know when the skin is effected, it's bound to effect the hair Follicles. I don't know what more I can do. Every time we save to move more into the Country, the muffler needs work at $1000 a wack. I am totally awake as to what has been going on my whole life as I was going to be 4 yrs. old the day after JFK was shot and I thought as a self centered child, I thought my mom couldn't afford a birthday gift for me as we were 4 kids and dad gone, but when I went to penny candy store, owner was sad too so I knew from a young age things weren't right. Now they talk about satellites beaming down, what does that do to humanity and nature? Can anyone ever tell the truth for once? It also does no good to Regenerate soil while our skies are sprayed daily and I had my rain water tested 15 yrs. ago. When does the insanity stop, I don't know but I pray daily. Until Humanity is more important than profits, it will continue. We need a reawakening, far to many asleep and God will not bless America if we don't get involved and change our ways. I want to also express my Gratitude for all the hard work this Administration is doing, American and the world is watching, God speed. I know I went a little off subject, so sorry, Thank you listening to my testimony. Blessing to all, Lisa
