Attributes heart attacks to wireless sources, cites personal meter readings, and calls for shutting down …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Shut it Down! I've had 2 heart attacks because of the Frequencies. One from a Starlink and another from 6g or 5g+. A smart meter and a 5g led security light. I measured the Emf Radiation with a Trifield meter on RF setting and its 100-1000 times higher than Fcc recommendations. We are literally being Cooked by emf Frequencies. This must Stop. We Do Not Approve of any of this. Turn 5g and 6g Off. Its dangerous to biological Life. It Causes Oxidative stress in the vasculatory system and so many other terrible health Problems and symptoms. By the way I have a file of the dangerous emf coming out of my phone but your file drop will not allow the upload.

Reports poor sleep and joint pain after smart-meter installation and improvement after replacement, with …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
It was two years before I realized that the new meter that had been installed on my house was a smart meter. After two years of increasingly poor health I came across information on how smart meters were affecting people. I was experiencing many of the same symptoms as others: trouble sleeping, pain in my joints and feeling like I was a hundred years old. After verifying that I did have a smart meter I arranged for the utility company to replace it with a meter that needs to be read manually by a meter reader. My health immediately started improving to the point where I was able to function much better. I continue to experience a sense of anxiety and trouble sleeping if I’m in a house with smart meters and smart devices. I’ve found numerous ways to block or harmonize the negative effects of emf/emr in my environment. This enables me to enjoy the convenience of internet without as much of a deleterious effect. I do look forward to having all this technology completely safe for us all as everyone is affected whether or not they are aware. I appreciate your consideration of this important issue! All the best, Lin Brightman

Raises concerns about a child’s blood illness near a smart meter, a spouse’s iron issues and tree decline…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My daughter was hospitalized with a blood condition, nearly died, needed emergency therapy flown in from Sioux Falls. We found a smart meter above her room. My wife has iron issues, a symptom associated with wireless exposure. Our trees are dying on the tops next to the new LED light poles. Why? We measure and report using an RF safety meter so we can quantify the damages to our family. This is insane.

Describes fatigue, cognitive and sleep symptoms during travel, reliance on shielding and avoidance of wir…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My husband and I are among those who must wear stealth EMF-blocking hats during air travel. Without them, we become severely fatigued, experience brain fog, and are much more susceptible to colds, influenza, and similar illnesses. My husband travels frequently for work and must shield himself; otherwise, he is susceptible to the same effects which impede his work and health. In hotels, Airbnbs, and on cruise ships, sleep is often disrupted when we sleep near the electrical outlets typically placed by the headboard or head of the bed. We therefore travel with aluminum foil and tape so we can shield ourselves. This necessity is not widely recognized but again, effects can be felt without it. Sleeping near a Wi-Fi router, a utility smart meter on an exterior wall, or similar sources produces the same symptoms. We must also avoid sleeping near our smartphones at night. As RV snowbirds, we have had to forgo lots near cell towers, WiFi routers or electrical lines, because proximity to them can make us ill. Shielding ourselves in this way is an unwelcome task that takes considerable time and energy, but the alternative has been poor health. I often carry a GQ Tri-Field EMF Radiation Detector to corroborate our experience. As someone who has lived with chronic illness for twenty years, I am encouraged that you are taking this seriously.

Describes a lemon tree’s decline near a replacement smart meter and improvement after relocation, attribu…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hello As a US citizen I have noted something that occurred since smart meter had been installed about 3 years ago on our home. I live in NJ a d AC Electric as a matter of routine phased out our old meter and replaced it with a Smart meter. For the last 23 years I had always place my Meyer lemon tree in front of where meter is hung on our home. Every year I had multiple lemons and many flowers..but since the smart meter placement the lemon tree has not flowered . Leaves turned pale cramy yellow and bore no fruit. So last winter after removing the tree from winter storage in front if windows in our garage we placed the tree in a different area on the other side of garage doors about 16 feet from the meter..abd this summer although it the first summer after moving the failing tree, it had many new glossy dark green leaves and a few flowers..no lemons were produced but it sure had a healthy look overall in comparison to the last three years where it was failing over by the meter. It had the same sun exposure just mo ed 16 feet away from the meter. It led me to understand that some sort of frequency had been affected the tree & its fruit production. I am looking forward to many lemons next year as the small fruits winter over in garage and grow bigger when put outside in the sun in springtime. This is an observational comment but I attribute its failing to that meter 100%. I've had the tree for about 15 years...nothing in its care had changed except that dumb meter 3 years ago. Now what does that frequency to my family in the house ?? Thanks for the opportunity to speak my mind.

Reports headaches after a meter replacement and objects to opt-out fees, lack of consent and privacy impl…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My comment is to address the RF transmitting from my home's electricity meter. The meter was switched without my approval or knowledge, the meter is located outside my bedroom about 3 meters from my bed and where I rest my head. I have had headaches ever sine it was installed and when I contact Pennsylvania PPL to return to a standard meter I was told I would need to pay an additional fee. This is unacceptable in many ways, primarily my health; next is my consent and next is my privacy. This violates many of my constitutional rights moreover. Thank you for allowing me to comment.

Requests independent proximity and exposure studies to distinguish risk from speculation and favors publi…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
There are quite a few opinions and wild conspiracy theories about wireless radiation, but not many factual independent studies on the health effects. The technology is going to keep getting better, so I think there needs to be independent studies. If the studies focus on distance (considering the inverse square) to devices, and how RF is similar to light, it might reduce some of the opinions and put the public at ease with the technology. Most devices are quite far away from people, so the theories are likely way off base. Conversely, many devices that are installed are close to occupants and are high power (with no check or sometimes even regulations), so they are most likely causing health danger - (smart meters next to beds, 5G cylinder street towers next to apartment windows, etc...); so a study done on proximity effects would be helpful. Ideally, with the exception of public health danger, education versus regulation would be preferred.

Attributes insomnia, headaches, brain fog and palpitations to smart meters and towers.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Ever since the installation of the smart meter on my house, I have severe insomnia! With all the 5g towers it has only gotten worse! Symptoms are headaches, brain fog, fatigue and heart palpitations! This is detrimental to our health and well being! Let’s get back to more basic concepts that improve health, nature and lifestyle instead! On our current trajectory we are destroying not advancing our planet and humanity! Let’s use our abilities for the good of all!

Reports headaches and tinnitus and raises smart-meter, Wi-Fi and alleged weather-manipulation concerns.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
EMF gives me headaches. I wake up in middle of the night with one. Was so bad I had to get Faraday protection. Ears ringing. Add in Smart Meters, NEXRAD radar weather manipulation, WiFi Router, cell phones, 5G, it’s all affecting us negatively. We feel like it’s an attack on humanity because it is.
