I’m convinced there is more than a correlation between increasing 5g use, low flying air traffic, and WiFi internet and cell call drops increasing. I spend a lot of time outside and my phone frequently will slide into airplane mode when there is lower flying air traffic.
When the phone company “upgraded” us(without consent) to 5G, I got extremely lethargic, couldn’t work or concentrate. We downgraded and only then did I feel better.
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…)Wi-Fi
3b. Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years):6-7 years, anytime I am in a highly WiFi area or with in close proximity
3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced:Face rash like a burn, skin feels like it is tingling/burning, feel like a weight is pressing against my body, increased irritability and fatigue. It lifts immediately when WiFi is turned off on my computer or when I distance myself from the source.
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:When I turn Wi-Fi on for my laptop, I feel the adverse health effects immediately. On days working in an office where I cannot control how many devices are near me or the signal I am exposed to, I have noticable symptoms.
3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis?I have spoken with my primary practitioner about the symptoms and she has said this could be a cause, but there is not an official diagnosis.
3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects?I have no WiFi active in my house. I would through a wired connection whenever possible. I turn off WiFi on the phone and vehicle. In this type of environment or when I am outdoors on vacation in the mountains, the symptoms all disappear.
3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information:I have used a meter to measure exposure.

1. Perspective represented
I am submitting this response in my personal capacity as an individual consumer and as a person who considers themselves affected by exposure to electromagnetic fields and radiofrequency radiation. I live in France and am therefore providing an international perspective.
Although this Request for Information is primarily directed toward the United States, the experiences of people who report being affected by electromagnetic fields are not confined to one country. I therefore believe that international personal testimonies may also contribute useful information to this consultation.
I am participating in order to share my experience and concerns and to contribute to a broader understanding of the issues reported by individuals in their daily lives.
2. My comments represent the perspective of an individual consumer with personal concerns regarding exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields. I am responding in my personal capacity and not on behalf of any organization.
3. Personal experience regarding potential adverse health effects associated with RF/EMF exposure
I am submitting this response based on my personal experience.
I have experienced a number of health problems that I believe may be associated with exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF/EMFs), particularly during or following periods of exposure to electronic and wireless devices.
The health effects I have experienced include:
genital pain;
fertility problems;
abdominal pain;
pain in the kidney area;
rapid onset of fatigue when working in front of a computer screen;
significant intestinal discomfort and inflammation;
excessive intestinal gas and bloating;
diarrhea.
These symptoms have had a tangible impact on my daily life. In particular, I notice that I can become fatigued very quickly when I remain in front of a computer screen.
I am sharing these observations as my personal experience. I believe that such individual testimonies should be considered alongside scientific and medical evidence when assessing the potential health effects of RF/EMF exposure.
I am submitting this testimony from France. I believe it is important for this consultation to take into consideration that people outside the United States also report health concerns that they associate with exposure to electromagnetic fields.
The RF/EMF sources involved in my experience include Wi-Fi, mobile phones and mobile network signals, Bluetooth, and other wireless devices. I also experience rapid fatigue during prolonged computer use, although I cannot determine whether this particular symptom is related to RF/EMF exposure or to another aspect of computer use.
My exposure to RF/EMFs occurs mainly in my daily environment through Wi-Fi, mobile phones, mobile network signals, computers connected to wireless networks, Bluetooth, and other wireless devices.
These exposures occur regularly in everyday life, particularly when I use a computer or other connected devices. I have noticed that prolonged computer use is associated, in my experience, with a rapid onset of fatigue.
The duration and intensity of exposure vary depending on the situation and the devices being used. Because RF/EMF sources are frequently present in my daily environment, it is difficult for me to precisely quantify my cumulative exposure.
I am reporting these circumstances based on my personal observations and do not claim that I can independently determine the precise level of RF/EMF exposure.
The potential adverse health effects I have personally experienced include:
genital pain;
fertility problems;
abdominal pain;
pain in the kidney area;
intestinal inflammation and digestive discomfort;
excessive intestinal gas and bloating;
diarrhea;
rapid onset of fatigue, particularly during prolonged computer use.
These symptoms vary in nature and intensity. I am reporting them as health effects that I have personally experienced and that I believe may be associated with my exposure to RF/EMFs. I am not claiming that I can independently establish a medical causal relationship between RF/EMF exposure and each of these symptoms.
I have noticed that certain symptoms can appear during the use of a mobile phone or laptop computer. In particular, I experience genital pain and abdominal pain while using these devices. I have also experienced increased intestinal gas (flatulence) and bloating during periods of use.
These observations have led me to suspect a possible association between these symptoms and my exposure during the use of these devices. I am reporting this as my personal experience and observation, and I am not claiming that I can independently establish a medical causal relationship between RF/EMF exposure and these symptoms.
I sought medical evaluation for some of the health problems described in this response. Biological laboratory testing identified a medical condition that could account
According to the National Institute of Health, there are severe, adverse, long-term biological effects with exposure to non-native EMF's. “The Invisible Rainbow” by Arthur Firstenburg also details, to a great extent, the exposures that other portions of the world (Germany, Asia, etc.) have already, under scientific study, diagnosed physiological effects as neurasthenia. I have had adverse biological effects due to long-term exposure to my Tesla Model Y 2022. I am highly concerned and angered by the fact that Tesla is allowed to -not inform customers of the hazardous effects their vehicles have on human life -subject people to high amounts of EMF radiation/poisoning -no recourse is present for customers whom have purchased it and later learned that health conditions they have developed are directly due to exposure -or, not allowed Tesla owners to rescind lease agreements and place the burden on Tesla for the purchase of the vehicle, after finding out after purchase the hazardous, biological affects of the vehicle. Non-native EMF's, such as those poured out like a mobile microwave that a Tesla is, directly affect human bodies and can be measured by a Geiger Counter. The magnetism count for the Tesla vehicle when utilizing the Geiger Counter is off the charts, and I spent the first two years (myself and my daughter) charging inside this vehicle and being exposed to high-concentrated amounts of radiation in the driver seat, in any seat as there are wi-fi/electrical sensors in the seating, the middle console, the battery itself, the steering wheel. What’s more, is any cell towers in nearby areas ping and increase the radiation exposure to an individual. I have healthy blood panel readings, but have observed the hair in my genital areas turning gray, and no other areas on my body graying. The hair on my head is not gray. I sit in my vehicle for long periods of time. Over the summer when I did not drive as much, it turned back to the original color. Tesla is subjecting young children and pregnant mothers with the equivalent of microwave radiation and no consumer warning is provided.
Another area of concern, electric companies charge consumers, such as FPL, a cost for opting out of smart meters and placing an undue financial burden on customers who choose to opt into a healthier option.
Similarly, local cities such as the City of Daytona Beach forces customers to change their standard meter to a smart meter, which gets pinged at the Giga.hertz level and affects biological health in the area and unstructures the water. I made several requests to opt out and was told I wasn’t allowed to. This is a deep concern for homeowners that local governments will not provide alternative options for limiting their exposure to emf poisioning.
EMF radiation opens the voltage-gated channels of the cell to allow calcium to pour in.
This country needs to implement significant updates to the general policies and understanding of citizens to also include medical doctor’s. For example, my daughter’s dental office forces me to sign paperwork that indicates language, “Refusal of Diagnostic Dental Radiographs…” and states that I am subjecting my child to potential diseases by refusing X-ray exposure. Children with developing brains/bodies are more susceptible to the hazardous effects of emf radiation, and for doctor’s to indicate refusing consistent x-rays is hazardous to their health is absurd.
Dear Staff at HHS:
Please know that in spite of the onslaught and pressure to have everything go "wireless", we face serious consequences to our earth, all of nature, and all of humanity. Please do everything possible to stand against this. I personally do not use wireless and suffered from an Addisonian Reaction to 5G in January 2020, at the beginning of the pandemic. I was struck immobile while walking home in Central Park. I could not move, This was when 5G was deeply launched in New York City. By the Grace of God, I was finally able to put one foot in front of another, take the subway, and go right to bed, The next morning I was much better. This was a COVID reaction. And 5G is considered one of the major causes of the epidemic. Also, it is historically documented that all the great scientists, i. e. Thomas Edison, all developed diabetes due to their long exposure to radiation. Diabetes has exploded around the world, in tandem with the overwhelming presence of wireless radiation. Please use your authority and power to "power" our country with renewable energy and benign sources. There are many experts in these fields who would be honored to partner with you in a global renewal of "Good Energy". It is also what our young people need to do and see and tp give them the opportunity for HEALING jobs. With many thanks, a believer in "choose the good".
Why is HHS trying to make the public worry about non-issues? The EM radiation we are commonly exposed to is low frequency and harmless.
Let's go on to real issues!
