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…) Mobile phones 3b. Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years):When people use their mobile phones to access cellular data, the initial signal is very strong while the phone is connecting to a tower. It is about 20 seconds long and gives me symptoms. This has been happening to me for six years. 3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced:Wakes me up from sleep, heart palpitations, and headaches. 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: 4 years. A change of exposure (to additional EMF) greatly increased the symptoms. 3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis? Medical treatment was sought, but unsuccessfully. 3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects? Yes. This involved removing all wireless devices from the home and moving to a different house away from neighbors. Additionally, because of the proximity of neighbors' wireless devices, it necessitated sleeping in the basement. 3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information: Apple iphones, when "wifi assist" is turned on, default to the cell tower for internet access. When I first started waking up 5x a night with heart palpitations, my baby in the other room would wake up 10 seconds later, screaming. This happened on the hour and the half hour. It turned out that this was directly correlated with our neighbor using her cell phone between TV programs. (She stayed up later than we did.) When she turned off "wifi assist" so her cell phone accessed the internet through her own wifi router, the night waking ended immediately. Unfortunately, this was just the beginning of realizing I had become EMF sensitive and eventually I had to move. 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:I was mildly sensitive to EMF, but it was not enough to notice, until I moved to a different house. This house, we later learned, was bordering on the right-of-way of a high voltage power line (69kV). Additionally, a smart meter was installed after we moved in. After a pregnancy, I had a situation that required a chest CT scan, which, of all medical imaging, has the highest amount of radiation. I think this overexposure created the perfect storm to make me very EMF sensitive.

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 family member and myself concerned. My family and I believe that our health has been negatively affected by the radiofrequency radiation emitted from smart meters. Throughout a period of several months, we developed new and worsening symptoms, including unexplainable severe headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and anxiety. I began experiencing unexplained anxiety and shortness of breath, which led to an asthma diagnosis. During the same period, I also developed unexplained dizziness and tinnitus. Since medical professionals were unable to identify the underlying cause, I received a diagnosis of Meniere's syndrome. Additionally, I noticed that my breathing problems and dizziness became worse when I lay down in my bedroom. I found myself feeling anxious about going to bed. Furthermore, my spouse has been experiencing cardiac palpitations and continues to require ongoing medical supervision. At that time, it was difficult to understand why these symptoms showed slight improvement during our stay at my friend's place. Following an unexpected decline in health, we discovered that a smart meter had been installed on our house's exterior wall, positioned adjacent to our bedroom without our awareness or authorization. We made the request to revert to an analog meter, the utility company declined to make the change due to their established policy and only offered us the option to opt out of the digital system. Opting out of a smart meter, covering the wall and window with some anti-radiation shields, and moving out of the bedroom provided some improvement in our symptoms. The intense dizziness, breathing complications, and anxiety feelings gradually diminished. Despite these considerations, the radiation from smart meters—which is similar to radiation from other wireless devices, wireless transmission systems, and other infrastructure we cannot control—still has a big impact on our daily lives. We believe that radiofrequency radiation weaknes immune system function, subsequently leading to physical decline, reduced overall health, and the potential development of chronic conditions. My spouse and I both still experience chronic headaches, sleep disruption, fatigue, continuous tinnitus, worsening allergic reactions including asthma and respiratory difficulties . Following maxillofacial surgery, I had a titanium mesh implanted many years ago. I had no issues before a smart meter was put on our house wall. We believe that following RF exposure, I developed maxillofacial sinus complications," Circumferential mucosal thickening of the right maxillary sinus with a central nodular thickening with a coarse calcification suggestive of a mycetoma" that necessitated surgical treatment. After that, since doctors haven't been able to find the cause of the pain, we believe that exposure to RF radiation may be contributing to the persistent pain I still experience in the side of my face where the titanium mesh is located, which occasionally becomes quite severe, radiating to the head.  Furthermore, as a person who is very sensitive, I have seen more problems with electrical sensitivity and unusual skin feelings. Even though I only wear clothes made from natural materials and have eliminated all plastic from my home environment, these issues continue to happen. We believe there are significantly more individuals like us who have experienced regular exposure to radiofrequency radiation in their daily lives and subsequently experienced health deterioration. We strongly believe that daily exposure to wireless radiation is contributing to the acceleration of health problems across all populations. We encourage you to explore the available evidence and research on this important matter. My family and 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. My family and 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.

I am not a scientist or tech person. I only know what i have personally observed and felt. In the past five years, I have noticed a decline of pollinators, bees and butterflies, in my organic chemically-free gardens. I have also been experiencing dizzy spells for no reason when I go outside or in public places. My home has low radiation levels which I monitor. With the introduction of 5G, smart meters and discontinuation of copper based landlines, etc the world is being surrounded more and more by wireless radiation. Please, it is time to review safe radiation level standards and put a hold onto what we are doing. Please, place better safety issues on this technology! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Create a wonderful day!

I am hypersensitive to EMFs. Why is the electric company allowed to force dangerous smart meters on our houses. What about the Energy Policy Act of 2005? Help us and stop them

In response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am a grandmother who is concerned for the public. I’ve long been concerned with EMF radiation effects, especially for young children, like my grandchildren. Wi Fi radiation is also a major concern. I have bought EMF protection for my home and my children’s home. Honestly, I hope it works, but it was costly to buy. The smart meters are terrible for home owners because of the constant Wi-Fi going across the rooms constantly. Watch this documentary and it will show you proof why EMF radiation isn’t good and how 5G gave college students brain cancer in college because the 5 G towers were aimed at their college campus building. They all died and the 5G tower was the only common denominator. I hope their story was on this documentary. I think it was. https://youtu.be/8ZTiT9ZSg3Q?is=h6TnmG-9u4F_CY3U I’m very concerned about long term exposure especially from the 5G they’re using now. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation 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. HHS needs to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence. Also to 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 letting us voice our opinion.

1. & 2. I am responding as: 3a. Type of wireless or RF/EMF sources involved (e.g., mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters…)Wi-Fi/Smart Meters/Mobile Phones/MM Wave Airport Scanners/Cell phone towers 3b. Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years):Since 2018 - Inability to sleep in an environment with Wi-Fi, extreme headaches, nausea. Extreme pain in legs after going through an MM Wave airport scanner inadvertently for the first and only time - I have peripheral neuropathy of my lower limbs. 3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced:As above. 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:My situation and intolerance to EMF’s was, I believe, caused by my exposure to fumes onboard aircraft which contain organophosphates. I worked for 20 years as a Flight Attendant and was acutely and chronically exposed to the chemical fumes. I have sensory issues amongst other health effects including brain injury and peripheral neuropathy as a result. I developed multiple chemical sensitivity in 2017 and EMF sensitivity in 2018. 3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis?I have a diagnosis of Environmental Intolerance (Chemical and EMF’s) from my doctor. Not Idiopathic - as my doctor knows what caused it. I also have a diagnosis of Organophosphate Poisoning. 3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects?I moved to a rural area of France with minimal mobile phone signal and into an old property with thick stone walls and no near neighbours. My laptop is hardwired and Wi-Fi in the house is limited to just 30 minutes twice a day. Avoidance is the only remedy and the only way to reduce/eliminate exposure. 3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information:I have some scientific reports, but i’m sure you have them already. I don’t have an exposure measurements - I know exposure here is minimal. I moved away in order to avoid exposure as much as possible. I live a very different lifestyle these days which includes an organic diet, no chemicals in the house, and minimal exposure to EMF’s. The area I live in is an organic farming area and life is at a slower pace. 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:No, I think I have covered it; but generally, I feel that unless you are personally affected or understand the true science on the issue, you can’t even begin to understand what people like me have gone through or the lengths we have gone to for our health - as well as our sanity. I have been lucky in that my doctor will read scientific papers, has fully investigated my health and understands the effects EMF’s can cause me. He gave me an exemption for the smart meters here in France and an exemption for the MM Wave airport scanners (for the very rare occasions I have to fly). B1a.

I got electrosensitive about 6 months ago after being exposed to a smart meter nearby (I was almost "attached to it" for a couple of days as I did not pay attention that there was a smart meter), and at the same time I started working in a new office room very near to a base station with especially high RF levels. I experience symptoms from phones, wi-fi, base stations, practically any wireless technology, but unfortunately also from electrical fields (when devices I touch are plugged into a power outlet, and cars) and electromagnetic fields (cars, power lines ecc). Especially phones and hybrid and electrical vehicles, subway and train are detrimental for my health. Just a couple of days near to a smart meter and base station made me this sensible, but of course previously I had been exposed to many RF fields with various levels for years, as they are ubiquitous. Now I get symptoms quite fast, in a couple of minutes, depending on the intensity of the exposure. Symptoms include strong tinnitus, headache, cold and numb hands, insomnia, pain and “waves” in my face and head, tiredness, nausea and rarely, after longer and strong exposure, also vomiting. I have not got any specific medical treatments, as there is no understanding in the health care system about this condition. I got help and advice from peer support groups. I am still looking for specialist that could help me. Luckily I have been able to continue working, at least for now, with specific keyboard, mouse, ethernet connection and asking collaborators to switch their phones in airplane mode when we work face-to-face. My work place has had a very understanding attitude. A crucial element in my capacity to work was leaving the premises where I fell ill as soon as I understood my symptoms were connected to radiation. Now the premises where I work have quite low back ground levels.

These towers need to all come down they're giving cancer to children when they're putting near the school in Brazil they took them all down because the crime rate went up that's what's happening here now it's out of control it messes with the brain makes you angry mean and hateful and vindictive it's unhealthy to have these frequency radiation penetrating our house and our bodies I painted my house with Marine lead paint to stop it from coming in I change the screen Windows to copper even the electric meter puts in electric frequencies to not let you sleep I put copper ring around it to stop that and reverse the electricity that they're overcharging us with the new meter people are going to get really angry and start taking them all down it's going to be like a civil war all over again whoever's putting them up are mass murderers just like Bill Gates who profit off a killing people worse than Adolf Hitler I guess if you're a billionaire you could kill people and get away with it you need to do something about this and fast before an epidemic of these continue to harm us people will fight back and start destroying these towers doesn't take much to take him down battery powered sawzall on both them let them fall you had better do something quick we are getting tired of it why isn't your organization do anything about it don't you care or you in on it too population control it's a lethal weapon what don't you understand

1. & 2. I am responding as: an individual 3a. Type of wireless (e.g., mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters…)5G+ WIRING/JUNCTION BOXES 3b. Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years): CONSTANT. 3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced:Low blood oxygen, severe thyroid disruption (incl. heart thrumming, weight gain), insulin resistance & blood sugar issues, low grade skin cancers, brain fog, constant need to sleep but sleep is interrupted, immune system breakdown causing delayed healing, musculoskeletal disorders, thinning hair, gaunt face and accelerated aging. 3d. Time from first exposure to first appearance of health effects; and did a change in exposure coincide with the onset of adverse effects:Within 90 days after installation and activation in my neighborhood. 3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis?No. It would be pointless and there are no available licensed NC physicians who can comprehend this level/type of physics, and most are terrified of completing and documentation about the effects of electrosensitivity. 3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure? I tried to stop the installation of 5G+ by informing the County Commissioners of the dangers from 2021 - 2023. They ignored me. I cannot reduce or eliminate my exposure. I wear two pendants: an Essential Energy Life Plate ($350) and a Biogeometry pendant ($180.00). I have Biogeometry plates in my vehicle. I have installed tensor technology on my property where possible. 3g. Any supporting documentation?: I have done some random power measurements with my SafeLivingTechnologies.com training meter. The ambient power measurements in my area used to be 4-5 microWatts/sqm within the "Safe" range. Now, it is 60,000 microWatts/sqm... which is into Bau Biologie's Extreme Concern levels where cellular destruction commences along with carcinogenicity. Additional Details: This form is inadequate. We are being impacted by EMR (EMF is a misleading term. Frequencies can be good.) - Electro Magnetic Radiation from MANY sources we do NOT control at this time. I was made electrosensitive by Florida Power and Light's installation of Smart Meters on the 4-plex where I lived without any notification. For 2 years, I was pounded by 13,000 pulses a day from four meters. Fort Myers, FL experienced the forced installation of 5G masts there caused VISIBLE accelerated aging. I only know that because I was gone for most of year. My friends had visibly aged 3-5 years. Gray hair went white, and everyone's faces stressed looking. Public facing jobs endure the worst of the C19 injection bio-synthetic nano-tech shedding, and all-source EMR. The cumulative effect was devastating for them. B1a. Sources - Adverse Effects: 5G+ grid, Smart grid, Cell towers, LED lights, Other Peoples "dumb" phones. B1b. Sources you can sense w/o harm: None. B1c. Sources that don't harm: None. B1d. Sources that provide benefit: Online healing frequency recordings found on youtube. These frequencies are from PC speakers. They are simply audible frequencies. B2a. Health conditions contributing to your sensitivity: Low blood oxygen, thyroid disruption (incl. heart thrumming, weight gain), insulin resistance & blood sugar issues, low grade skin cancers, brain fog, constant need to sleep and sleep interruption, immune system bkdown: delayed healing, musculoskeletal disorders, thinning hair, gaunt face and accelerated aging. B2b. Health conditions you don't associate with EMR: None. I was in great shape before FPL installed the smart grid without notice in Fort Myers, FL in 2012. B3. Please list up to 5 drugs or therapies or home remedies (if any) B3a. That you recommend: I wear two pendants: an Essential Energy Life Plate ($350) and a Biogeometry pendant ($180.00). I have Biogeometry plates in my vehicle. I have installed tensor technology on my property where possible. Online healing frequency recordings found on youtube. These frequencies come from my PC speakers. There is no EMR behind them. They are simply audible frequencies. I use nutraceuticals, supplements and detox methods to reduce or eliminate the nanotech from the everpresent tropospheric aerosolization with metals and toxins, and the C19 injected and contaminated people. The nano-tech ramps up reactivity with EMR (Electro Magnetic Radiation), so getting rid of it helps a LOT. B3b. You recommend, but you’re not positive that they help: If something I try doesn't increase my energy, speed my healing and provide immune support, I don't do it anymore. B3c. That helped you but you don’t recommend. (e.g., the benefit did not last long or the side effects were too harmful):None. B3d. Treatments that had no effect: None. B3e. Treatments that made your sensitivity worse: None. B4. What is your age range? 65-74 B5. What year did sensitivitystart? 2014 B6. What country, state, province, or major city were you living in when you first noticed ? Fort Myers, Florida
