Satellite exposure

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

Comment on HHS-OASH-2026-0397, Request for Information on EMFs, RF Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure Respondent: Sam Galiatsatos, Austin, Texas Perspective (Q2): Individual consumer and family member Questions addressed: 2, 5(n), 5(p), 9, 13(a), 13(d), 15(a)-(d), 16, 17, 18 Summary: HHS should treat network architecture as a way to reduce unnecessary exposure, and should favor a satellite-to-gateway-to-fiber build in federal health and broadband policy. How a network is built decides how many transmitters sit near homes, schools and clinics. The recommended build has four layers: 1. Low Earth orbit satellites reach places fiber cannot reach at reasonable cost. 2. Gateway ground stations, a few fenced sites, hand satellite traffic straight to fiber. 3. Fiber trunks carry that traffic into cities and rural hubs. Fiber carries light and emits no RF. 4. Inside homes, schools and clinics, people get wired connections and low-power Wi-Fi they can switch off. Q13 and Q15: Short-range 5G bands need more sites mounted close to streets and homes, so neighborhood exposure depends on site count and distance. With satellite broadband, the serving transmitter is in orbit, and home terminals and gateways aim their main beams at the sky. HHS should classify satellite direct-to-cell service separately, since the phone itself is the transmitter near the body. Exposure evidence should record distance to homes, schools and clinics, cumulative neighborhood exposure, and transmitters per square kilometer. Q5(n) and 5(p): Report transmitter density and backhaul type alongside device limits. Coordinate with NTIA and the FCC so broadband funding counts lower neighborhood transmitter density as a public health benefit. Add beam direction, site density and service role (everyday versus backup) to any classification system. Q9: Publish transmitter site maps for residents and local governments, notify schools and childcare facilities of nearby installations, and tell subscribers how their service reaches the home. Q16 and Q17: Start with measurement. Compare real-world exposure in neighborhoods served by dense small cells, fiber to the home, and rural satellite. FDA, NIH and CDC should coordinate with the FCC and NTIA on joint exposure mapping. Q18: Under the revised BEAD program, about two-thirds of funded locations will get fiber, so this build matches where federal dollars already go. ARPA-H's STACK program aims to bring clinical trials to rural patients, and those clinics need stable fiber connections. Limits: This comment does not claim that exposure below current federal limits causes harm. It recommends reducing exposure the network does not need while HHS reviews the evidence. The attached PDF contains the full comment, an illustrated diagram of the four layers, and linked sources for every figure cited.

Here’s what I know. When I stopped using the outlets in my bedroom by my bed I started sleeping better. When I started having my Starlink automatically shut off between 9-6 am I started sleeping better. When I leave all devices out of the bedroom at night I sleep better. I stopped wearing an Apple Watch and I use wired headphones. I feel better. I’m a two time cancer survivor so I know what affects my body and what doesn’t. With minimizing or eliminating I find that it’s just better. Can we please allow 3G again? I would go back to a blackberry in a heartbeat. New is not always better and we moved too fast with tech.

How I became EMF sensitive. I am 73 years old and I think, I was in my early 30's when my husband got us a new phone. He was so amazed, he could walk out of our apartment onto the sidewalk and still could talk and be heard on the other end. We keep this phone in our bedroom unfortunately. I learned many years later, the body repairs itself when we sleep. So, this phone was not letting us repair our bodies during the night. I remember, I had an one hour conversation on that phone and my head was hot and I was a bit disoriented. I made a note to myself, not to use that phone for long calls etc. I got a job working the front desk of a chiropractors office. For 13 years I sat in front of a computer, working 8 hours a day. At one point I got divorced and was walking through a Farmer's Market and this women had a cellphone. They used to have a big long antenna and she was moving her head up and down, left and right and I could feel the antenna energy, cutting through my head. You can immage, I was trying to distance myself from this lady. I eventually moved from Los Angeles to Norwalk California and moved into a mobile home. By this I was about 51 years old. Mobile homes are kind of close to each other and for some reason, I didn't like sleeping in the bed room. I preferred sleeping on the couch in the living room, against a wall, that had a switch, that turned of the energy from the electric socket. During this time, I was working out of my home and was on the computer a lot, plus I had a telephone and internet access through a satelite dish. During this time, I had a basal cell and saw a macrobiotic couselor who cured herself from a very heavy cancer. She recommended a few things to me: get rid of the satelite dish, spend less time on the compure and follow her macrobiotic diet. It took 1 year and 7 months but the basal cell was no longer cancerous. I also, looked out my bedroom window and I had 6 satelite dishes on the corner of each mobile home: my mobile home, my right neifhbor, across of him/ my right, the Mobile home directly across from me, the mobile home to my left kitty corner from me and the one to my left. That is WAY TO MUCH EXPOSURE. No wonder I didn't like sleeping in my bed room. So, I stop using Satelites for entertainment etc. At 61 I moved to Albuquerque New Mexico and they are one the top 7 states for cellphones towers. When I was 62 years I moved into a cooperative apartment complex. After 3 montjhs I started having symtoms: could only get 2 hours of sleep, I was having moments: I would loose consciousness for a few seconds, heart palpations, headaches that were very painful: like a knife was cutting through my head, tinnitus, skin rashes. Luckily I figured out what was happening to me and took steps to lower my exposure to EMF's. So, I went to a senior center and as I got closer to it, I noticed it had a cellphone tower directly across from the senior center. As I walked in, I over heard a conversation: Mary passed out at the senior center, they took her to the hospital and the doctors couldn't figure out why she passed out. I thought, I better not stay here to long, so I signed up for a class and left. As I walked out side, this cellphone tower was full of discs pointing in all directions and Up and down. I walked across the intersection, to stay away from the old cellphone tower and I was now on the sidewalk and the cellphone tower was across from me and I passed out. I must have looked my a drunk and fortunately I caught myself befroe I hit the grown. I thought, went I get home, I am going to do some research on EMF sensitivity. I learned that my symptoms were probably from EMF's and it recommended to move one's bed at least 5 feet away from the circuit breakers in my apartment. My bed was directly on the other side of were the curcuit breaker was. I 3 days, all my symstoms went a way except of the tinnitus. I was still getting occasional powerful headaches went I took a bus: which had wifi. I called comcast and asked them to turn off the wifi on the modum they gave me. 3 years later, I found out eventually that comcast not only turned the wifi back on each month when they rebooted their system but they also had a community wifi. So I was being double exposed. Not knowing this, I also never turned the comcast modem off and slept withing 5 feet of the modem. So, I was lucky, I caught it before permanent damage was done. This is how I live now: no refrigerator, not hot water tank, turned off all circuit breakers except for electric oven and kitchen electric sockets. I have no more symptoms. Except I have had moments: they were do some work through Albuquerque, to lay foundations for fiber optics Check out Great risk for EU, U.S. and International Health! Compelling Evidence for Eight Distinct Types of Great Harm Caused by Electromagnetic Field (EMF) Exposures and the Mechanism that Causes Them https://radiationresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/EU-EMF2018-6-11US3.pdf

I had a big, beautiful life before I started getting sick. I started getting all the random symptoms associated with EMFs in 2020 with the release of 5g. I didn’t know the cause of my symptoms until I got Covid in August of 2021. It was during my 3 weeks of being sick that I suddenly couldn’t hold my phone without feeling the energy it was radiating. It made feel like I was being punched in the gut followed by a laundry list of symptoms. Apparently, Covid threw me over the edge and all the symptoms I was already dealing with became 100 times louder. This started a chain reaction where I stopped being able to handle any EMFs. I can now feel and react to all cell phones, WIFI, bluetooth, wearables, general electricity, and the radiation coming off of people and things. I get every commonly listed symptom of EMF/radiation exposure and then some. I have spent endless hours researching and doing everything possible to improve my situation and ameliorate my symptoms. I have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to do things to safeguard my home, buying devices that were supposed to help, and endless protocols to help detox my body/calm my nervous system/etc.. All to no avail. I have been unable to leave my home for over 5 years (much longer if you include the Covid lockdown time from which I have never been released). Because I get sick from the radiation I feel coming off of people, I have to stay isolated. I have been incarcerated and in solitary confinement without ever committing a crime. I have been completely disabled and lost my ability to work, but disability coverage supposedly isn’t an option as this isn’t a covered disease/illness. I have lost almost all of my friends and family since I can’t participate in the relationships. Since most of them don’t understand or believe that their beloved technology is harmful, it has caused a rift in my relationships. If I was sick with cancer, people would be rallying around me with offers of help and support. This is not the case with electrosensitivity. Most want to be in denial that it’s an issue and it’s easier to just call me crazy than it is to own that these technologies are harmful and this can be a real result of their use. Somehow, it’s easier for people to believe that I wanted to give up my big, beautiful life in trade for isolation and suffering than it is to believe that our government would allow us to all be subjected to harmful frequencies. It is criminal that I should have to suffer to such a degree because of everybody’s addiction to these dangerous technologies. These non-native frequencies should have never been released onto the population. I have always been the canary type, which, in the end, is probably a gift as I am able to protect myself as best I can from these frequencies/radiation when the rest of the world is ignorant to their destruction. A few final notes: before I got sick, I used to notice that my dogs would move to the far side of the room every time I would pick up my phone. At the time, I realized they were reacting to my phone, but I didn’t have the conscious awareness or understanding of what it was doing to them or how bad it actually feels to be sensitive to these devices. I feel horrible now that I am having this experience that I subjected them to it. I can also tell the difference between houses that use hardwired internet and those that use 5g or satellite technologies. The ones that use these newer wireless technologies put off so much radiation that the entire neighborhood becomes loaded with it and I can’t go near it. I used to be able to walk my dog on different streets near me, but as people have changed their internet providers to these technologies, I have had to stop taking my dog any farther than just a few house in one direction before I have to retreat to my home.
 And finally, the release of 5g has drastically increased the amount of constant harmful radiation people are being subjected to 24/7. Because I have the uncommon ability/curse to feel radiation, rather than just the frequencies. I have experienced a progression in the last several years of accumulated radiation on people and objects. The change in the amount of radiation has been drastic from when I first got sick to now. It is scary to viscerally experience what has happened to our world with the release of these microwave technologies. They are lightyears more harmful than the previous generations and they have polluted our world more than anybody can imagine. 
 I hope this information is helpful and actually contributes to changes in policy as my life has been 100% destroyed by Big Tech and the US Government’s lack of response in protecting its citizens.

The Federal government has abdicated its role in protecting the public from sources of potentially harmful non-ionizing radiation emanating from cell towers, routers, microwave facilities, satellites, and connected devices. The FCC standards for exposure are really quite a joke, not having been updated since 1996. Yet, even if those standards were adequate at the time, which is highly questionable, the amount of radiation from the above sources has exploded, especially since 2010, and includes parts of the electromagnetic frequency spectrum which were not in common use at the time. It is a clear dereliction of duty to roll out features like 5G, Starlink, and Bluetooth without first PROVING that this radiation is harmless. The burden of proof should be on the companies and the regulators, not citizens. The FCC should be in high gear to correct the deficiencies in its own studies, its professed ignorance of studies which show harmful effects, and revoke any and all licenses that can't meet the bar of proven safety without further delay and obfuscation. The HHS has been absolutely ineffective and disinterested in protecting humans, animals, and insects from RF radiation. There can be no excuses. The only response that is worth listening to from HHS is a moratorium on any further deployment of any source of RF emissions, and notice to the industry that its continued license to operate will be provisional for 12 months pending proof based on controlled studies that RF emissions are harmless.

I'm writing to share how wireless radiation has affected my health and to raise a concern I don't think current policy accounts for: the layering of exposure inside and around our homes and office buildings. For years I lived with migraines, tinnitus, poor sleep, slow recovery, and a nervous system that struggles to settle. These aren't abstract complaints; they shape my life. When I began measuring the radio frequency levels in my home and reducing them, by hardwiring our network, scheduling the router off at night, and tracking down hidden sources, my body responded. The quality of my sleep has improved, although I still have day to day exposure and migraines have gotten worse, and the ringing in my ears hasn't stopped. What's most concerning is how pervasive the exposure is getting. A decade ago, a home might have had one wireless router. Today, radios are built into refrigerators, washers, thermostats, smoke detectors, televisions, sound systems, garage door openers, lighting controls, doorbells, and security systems, alongside routers, modems, and mesh repeaters. Many are boxed into walls and cabinets where homeowners can't see them, and many can't be turned off without disabling the appliance itself. People and pets absorb these signals around the clock, including while we sleep, when the body is meant to repair. Even after we deployed mitigation strategies, the highest reading in our house was in the hallway outside our bedroom, and it traced back to an alarm communicator mounted inside a closet wall. We didn't choose that exposure; we didn't even know it was there.The layers don't stop at our walls. Outside, 5G small cells now sit on streetlights and utility poles steps from bedroom windows, in addition to existing cell towers. Smart meters on each home relay signals to one another in a mesh network, so an entire neighborhood transmits as one connected system. License plate cameras at intersections and community entrances send their data over cellular connections, and satellite networks now beam service down from above. I can turn off my own router at night; I can't turn off my neighbor's smart meter, the small cell on the corner, or the camera at the end of my street. The public never consented to any of this and an informed public would surely not consent. Many of these systems also track where we go; geofencing lets companies and agencies draw a virtual boundary and collect data from every phone that crosses it. We weren't asked about the exposure or the tracking. Federal exposure limits were set in 1996 and evaluate single devices, not the cumulative load of dozens operating at once. In 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit found the FCC had failed to explain why those limits still protect people from harms unrelated to cancer, including effects on children and long-term exposure. The U.S. National Toxicology Program and Italy's Ramazzini Institute both found tumors in rats exposed to cell phone and cell tower radiation, and a Danish birth cohort study linked prenatal and childhood phone exposure to behavioral difficulties. Over the same decades that wireless exposure has multiplied, we've seen rising rates of autism, autoimmune disease, and chronic illness, and some researchers have raised questions about RF exposure and mold growth indoors. I'm not suggesting wireless radiation is the single cause of any of these; I'm asking that it be studied seriously rather than ruled out. Wireless radiation also doesn't reach us alone. Every day we're exposed to more synthetic building materials that off-gas, plastics in our clothing, children's toys, and household products, and chemicals permitted in our food and skincare. Each of these is approved on its own, and RF limits are set one device at a time, while our bodies take in all of it together. Little research has looked at how RF exposure interacts with this growing chemical load; until it does, I don't see how anyone can call the combination safe. I respectfully ask that you: 1. Update exposure limits to account for cumulative, long-term exposure from multiple sources, inside and outside the home, as the 2021 court ruling requires. 2. Require public notice and local input before new towers, small cells, smart meter networks, or surveillance cameras go up in residential neighborhoods, with a no-cost opt-out for smart meters. 3. Require that appliances and home systems with wireless radios offer a wired option or a simple way to disable the radio without losing core function. 4. Require clear labeling of wireless modules on appliances and building systems so families can make informed choices. 5. Fund independent research on chronic exposure and how it interacts with everyday chemical exposures, with attention to children, sleep, and the nervous system. Thank you for considering the people living with these exposures every day. Christy Wallace

Hello, My name is Mary Kirby and I live in Ave Maria Florida. The wifi effects in my home and abroad are very detrimental to may health. My neighbors are kind enough to turn off their wifi when not using it, but using the cable box and tv can be just as detrimental. The effects on me are: headaches, foggy brain, pain in joints, when in a strong signal area, fatigue, shaky hands and painful tingling in the sublayer of my skin when in a strong signal area (stops when I leave the area) Effects the rhythm of my heart, when in a strong signal area (and stops when I leave it), Achiness and pain in my right thigh (where I had shingles about 10 years ago) and pain stops when I can remove myself from the area. HHS savings accounts cover EMF clothing etc. So the government knows it has negative effects on Humans. They keep upping the strength. Infinity uses 6G and possibly stronger (they call it 10G) If they could place harmonizers on all the wifi towers, starlink and satelites, to neutralize the negative effects of the High "G" being used, this could be a viable answer. I realized I started having serious problems with the wifi when the hotspots (3G was the first) came out then the G being used kept being raised. At this point it is very painful for me and very frustrating, because I cannot stop it any more. The clothing, hats, blankets are all made for 5G and that has been surpassed with 6G and above!!! The wave goes right through the silver fabric. So, I double up the fabric and this slows it and even stops it from getting to me. We should not have to live like this and be in pain most of the day!!! Please evaluate this and make healthy corrections to how The WIFI towers are being used and built. Put protections on them. The waves are know to alter our DNA, which caused cancer, It is scientifically proven to cause AFIB, and I could go on and on. Bettering our technology is a good thing, but it must be safe for humans at all times! Thank you for investigating this deadly problem with WIFI and Satelites and StarLink

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 an issue that I am deeply passionate about. There is great news for our public voice to be heard as we stand powerless at state and local levels while corporate and federal agendas steamroll over everyday citizens. I have donated money time and resources and stood at county board meetings with hundreds of locals opposing cell towers within feet of our homes only to be voted against or dragged into federal court lawsuits we cannot afford trying to protect our bodies, our families, our property values, and our environment from obvious harm. I have stood shoulder to shoulder with neighbors suffering from cell tower radiation health issues only to be reminded by the teams of lawyers and the elected local board members that we as citizens are legally gagged at any level to discuss health issues as an argument against placement of these towers too close to residential and school properties!! THAT IS JUST WRONG. The federal regulations that cite outdated studies claiming no harmful effects of cellular radiation at detectable levels as a reason to gag citizens rights is just wrong. My personal experience is interesting and quickly dismissed by health care professionals: I have developed tnitus out of no where many years ago. I live primarily in a 5 mile radius of many new and pre existing 5g cell towers (not just antennas). It effects my daily health and nightly sleep. Recently we purchased a property that has NO Cellular signal at all and our Internet and cell function is cabled in.(I want my fiber optic cable I was promised and have paid for for years! Dupped again by corporate agendas.) As soon as I get to the property my tinitus is gone immediately and for the duration of the trip. As soon as I get home I get hit immediately by a random crackeling loud wave of sound. I have been to multiple specialists and final results ...I was told by the specialist that it is all in my head and to look into cognitive behavior therapy. No one can or will listen to my feeling that this is signal related. The recent federal attempts to remove any local input to expanded FCC regulations around tower placement (and satellite launches too!) would fast track the complete loss of the last remaing signal radiation free zones in our planet. It will be too late!! My main local level argument, since I am gagged at a federal level from discussing my delusional health concerns over 5g tower radiation, has been the devistaing consequence on our property values with cell towers too close. For many of us citizens our property value in our homes is all the financial liquitdy we might have in a life time and the new cell tower in view of a home devistates property values and in many instances that house WILL NOT EVER SELL! (I have been personally studying this trend on Zillow properties for years and these costal communities are good clean communities but that cell tower in view and affordable remodeled homes just sit for years Then there are the existing studies of the effects of the signals interfering with insects, precious already threatened polinators, bats and other wild life that rely on communication signal of their own frequencies. Stop destroying our planet for profit and control. Just Stop It!!! Please help us get these issues heard and stop gaging legal committed US citizens at federal state and local levels from having any control of our own property, health, and communities at local levels and beyond.

For the first 61 years of my life, I was not exposed to EMF as I had not cell phone nor WIFI router and neither did my landlords. Then I moved into a senior housing building and am now exposed to EMF from WIFI routers from other apartments (I have no router in my apartment.). I have insomnia and what sleep I do get is non-restorative as I toss and turn like crazy. I have developed loud tinnitus, suffer from constant fatigue with muscle pain throughout my body, am annoyed by brain fog and have frequent frontal lobe headaches (I have never had headaches prior to this, even when ill.). When I leave my apartment for a few days to go out into the country, these symptoms lessen - so I know they are from all the exposure to EMFs my body has been forced to deal with for the past several years. I would move, but cannot afford a home in the country and there is no way I can avoid the exposure. Please codify into law strict regulations regarding cell towers and data centers, as well as satellite internet connection and WIFI routers. Thank you.
