1. & 2. I am responding as: 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):2 years, intermitant; I began experiencing numbness on my left side; at first interpreted as high blood pressure
3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced:I began testing for high blood pressure every time my left arm or side went numb. Sometimes my blood pressure was higher than normal, other times it was not. It was very inconsistent so I suspected the numbness was not high blood pressure.
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:I have been exposed to wi-fi for a long time but I began experiencing the numbness when I and the house next door to me got new internet connections with higher speed.
3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis?I went to my doctor about the numbness and was told it was high blood pressure but when I monitored the numbness for myself, my blood pressure was higher than normal for less than half the time.
3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects?I noticed a big change in the frequency of my numbness in the summer when I was out working in the garden. My hands were bare, in the soil, planting and weeding. I was getting 'grounded'. It was actually then that I connected the numbness to the wi-fi. I have very little numbness when I work in the garden but in the winter, when it's not possible to dig in the soil, the frequency of numbness is much greater.
3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information:no
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 sleep on the other side of the house from the two close internet connections. However this is not a cure as I cannot control the connection in the house next door on that side.
B1a. Sources you experience as causing you Adverse Effects:2 internet connections about 20 feet apart, one in my house, one next door. I do not have a cell phone but 2 other people in my house have them. My computer uses wi-fi and I probably spend 3 hours per day on it.
B1b. Sources you can sense, but don't seem to harm you:I think they all harm me, or the sum of them all harms me.
B1c. Sources you can use without sensing or being harmed:
B1d. Sources that seem to provide benefit (i.e., electrotherapy):
B2a. Health conditions you think may contribute to your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless:I don't have other conditions but I think the long exposure has built up harm. I was a computer teacher before I retired and spent many hours in classrooms with wi-fi.
B2b. Health conditions you don't necessarily associate with your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless, but might be relevant:don't sleep well
B3. For each subquestion please list up to 5 drugs or therapies or home remedies (if any)
B3a. That you recommend, as they helped you tolerate or recover from EMF exposure:walking barefoot outside to 'ground' and mitigate the EMF exposure
working the soil, planting and weeding with bare hands also seems to counteract the exposure
B3b. That you recommend, but you’re not positive that they help:turn off internet connection at night
B3c. That helped you but you don’t recommend. (e.g., the benefit did not last long or the side effects were too harmful):

B5. What year did you become aware of your sensitivity to wireless radiation or electromagnetic fields?2024
B6. What country, state, province, or major city were you living in when you first noticed your sensitivity to wireless or electromagnetic fields?Canada, Ontario, Windsor
In 2014 when I first got a smart phone I began getting super high pitched tinnitus. Being surrounded by WiFi is a culprit I believe because when I’m out of the area and use a faraday bag, it greatly decreases. I get such high pitch sometimes it actually hurts & it’s a range of pitches. Sometimes it’s oscillating. It makes it difficult to think a lot of the time. I feel more drained than when I’m away from a lot of it. I can’t say for sure EMF/ELF is the cause but I distinctly remember it began when I got a smart phone & people in my apartment building began getting a lot of WiFi.

The 5G fiber optic and large amounts of WiFi in apartment complexes has made it impossible for me to live inside the city. I still work in Nashville TN but I cannot sleep there’s I have to sleep in my car and drive out 35 minutes out of town every night in order to actually get somewhat productive sleep. My story is in this YouTube video. I have gone through enormous troubles with this. Suffice it to say it must be severely difficult, and I must have tried everything else I could think of before sleeping in my car full time year round. Without any HVAC during the nights. Even when I could technically fall asleep inside the city, my mental and cognitive health was so unbearably bad that I could not function or feel stable at all while I was trying to make it work sleeping in the city. nnEMF drastically inhibits the body’s ability to produce neurotransmitters, so when I am feeling irrationally angry, depressed, completely unable to focus or think clearly, and it those problems vanish when I actually start sleeping well by sleeping outside of the 5G range, it is obvious that I was feeling so completely unstable as I was because the 5G was making it impossible for my brain to produce neurotransmitters (dopamine, serotonin,etc) correctly.
I have never done cocaine, but from what I have heard, the crash afterwards is absolutely horrendous, because cocaine artificially releases all of the dopamine in your body (or way way more than normal). So the next day, your dopamine tank is way way emptier than it would ever be otherwise.
I have never done cocaine, but I still felt the same crash, because 5G kept my brain from being able to make dopamine. Check out David Herrera “Solar Athlete.” His breakdown of this science has really helped me as well as his protocols for getting healthier. But make no mistake, those protocols aren’t going to make it possible to just tough it out. You still have to get out of the 5G coverage.
One more thing. I really truly see that if we continue on this path, severe mental health problems are going to skyrocket. Schizophrenia, borderline, suicidal ideation, severe depression and anxiety, (the actually scary kind) where you really don’t feel in control. All of these disorders are downstream effects of the body not being able to properly produce or balance neurotransmitters and hormones. And because 5G seems so nebulous (many people don’t feel it or notice that they feel it) , also because mental health problems seem so nebulous, I fear that these problems will skyrocket as a direct effect of 5 and 6 G severely oppressing our physiology BUT NO ONE WILL REALIZE THAT 5G IS THE MAIN CAUSE , so they will send all of these otherwise normal people to institutions or write them off as crazy and leave them to the streets.

Our society seems to have become dependent upon technology. But this does not mean we cannot take into consideration the health effects of EMF, RF and wireless radiation. We can and we must. Thank you for opening this comment period. I hope we can ALL learn about the impacts, which are obvious to anyone paying attention (my own body reacts and I cannot sleep if there is a wifi router in the vicinity; my ears ring and buzz).
When I was 12 my whole life got turned upside down due to EMF. I couldn't do normal things, was ostracized from my peers, teachers, and classmates. I got nosebleeds, stabbing headaches, memory loss, nausea, restless legs, pain, extreme whole-body inflammation, my eyes couldn't focus, and insane fatigue. Everyone around me thought I was crazy or making it up.
But then I was 15 and had to write a research paper on something, I chose to write on EMF. I got paid to have my 15-page research paper published by a company in the United Kingdom that I wrote my freshman year. A classmate who thought I was making it up mocked me for doing that, and later didn't have enough research to back up his paper. I had so much scientific published research on EMF I actually had to take out over 6 pages of my paper. The research was astounding and other countries know and acknowledge the harms of EMF. They protect children. They don't allow cell towers within 2 miles of schools, they have research on the effects of non-ionizing radiation.
My pain from EMF got to such a degree that it felt like in addition to having headaches that felt like someone was stabbing me in the head and I couldn't breathe. Once we started turning off our Wi-Fi at night I was finally able to sleep, and some of the pain went away. The shift was drastic. I am happy to say that a few years later I've recovered and am a lot less sensitive, but that's only thanks to the research I did when I was younger, and to my parents work to protect me and help me heal from the damage.
We should not allow the cell phone companies profiting from these to set the safety standards. That's unethical and we're putting profit over health here in the US. If any third party did the research we would know ad see that we're insanely exceeding the safe amount of radiation a human can tolerate. But instead we are letting the cell phone tower companies tell us what is safe, and we're allowing this to be an unregulated industry.
My teenage years were dictated by EMF and my symptoms. I couldn't go to things I wanted to, hang out with friends, have people over unless they turned their phones off, or be in normalcy in society due to the extreme negative health effects I experienced from EMF and RF.
I have done extensive research on EMF, please read my paper below that was published in the UK. Let's do better for our country and our children - because I was the one who wasn't protected.

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 wellness consultant, safe-tech and environmental advocate who feels the effects of ElectroSmog.
I first learned about the health hazards of EMF in functional neurology class. We turned our wifi off that night and both of us slept amazing and woke up feeling so much better. That was ten years ago. Since then I have had times of completely being unable to work, the right side of my face drooping and the right side of my body not working the same as the left when over exposed. It sidelined my NYC music career, derailed my relationships with family as no one believes in health effects because the gov't says it's safe, I cannot work in most environments and it has severely limited my finances. The personal financial and emotional losses if calculated using forensic accounting are devastating. MY SYMPTOMS IMMEDIATELY RESOLVE UPON LOW EMF ENVIRONMENT and immediately return in cell service areas and wifi routers. I have trouble swallowing from the tightening of the neck muscles, brain encephalopathy pinching cranial nerves and over activating the limbic system that dysregulates my body so much I've been diagnosed with dystonia and dysautonomia. X-rays show developing scoliosis from a complete dystonic twist from attempting to live and work to survive in this environment. It's INSANITY! As a wellness practitioner, I see many people who also complain of symptomology in wireless exposure as well. And in my 18 years as an Osteopathic Movement Therapist and Personal Trainer I am seeing these twists, tensions, and symptoms in many people. In fact, myself, colleagues and teachers keep talking of how we seldom see a normal brain, nervous system and body of any client anymore. The biggest change to our environment is ELECTROSMOG.
Our advocacy groups already won a landmark lawsuit for the people due to extensive evidence of harm from ElectroSmog and the FCC shows flagrant disregard for humanity. This issue must continue to be addressed with holding FCC accountable, rescinding the 1996 Telecom Act and zero liability for Big Wireless, allowing opt outs, mandatory wifi on/off switches on routers, ensuring routers do not have secret frequencies, cell phone wireless hygiene options, educational campaigns and informed consent for the public, warning labels on all wireless tech devices, mandatory FCC commercials to explain the health risks of using wireless as was done with smoking, white zones that are protected zero EMF areas in every state/province/region of every country and research and development to pick up where the Tesla Society left off with using healthier frequencies/pulsation/modulation options for providers and also R&D for quantum computing.
We are bioelectric beings, our heart is electric, our brain is electric, every cell communicates with electromagnetic impulses, we have to keep our electrolytes balanced... these electromagnetic frequencies go through walls AND our bodies.... there are gov't studies dating back to the 1930s showing wireless communications undermine every system in the human body and also have environmental effects. For the future and survival of all life on this planet, we need to make sweeping changes. WE ALREADY KNOW THE DISASTROUS HEALTH HAZARDS from ElectroSmog, NOW LET'S MOVE ON IT!
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.
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 get frequent headaches if I turn wifi on or am in a wifi heavy area. C
Can the regulatory agency prove that any of these microwave technologies are safe.i bet not.
I am commenting as a concerned public citizen. Wireless radiation exposure and EMF's, although invisible, just like carbon monoxide, are very harmful. It's common sense that humans, as electrical beings, would be affected. Personally, I have done what I can to shield myself, and am considering more measures. I have Ethernet connections for my laptop and my phone, and shielding paint on one wall because my roommate has WiFi in her room. Since taking these steps I have experienced far less headaches. Also, it has already been demonstrated that cell towers near schools negatively affect young brains.
I appreciate that HHS is considering this issue, and I support any actions that can be taken to identify gaps in understanding these dangers and establish appropriate research priorities to protect human health, and especially children's health.

Protect Our Children First: Urgent Call for Updated, Science-Based Wireless Radiation Safety Standards
To: Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
My name is Zen Honeycutt, and I am the Founder and Executive Director of Moms Across America, a national educational nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering mothers and families to create healthy, non-toxic environments for our children.
On behalf of Moms Across America, I am calling upon the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), in coordination with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), to undertake an immediate, comprehensive, and transparent reassessment of federal radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure standards, with particular attention to children's developing bodies, long-term exposures, and potential biological effects beyond tissue heating.
The FCC's current RF exposure limits were adopted in 1996 and subsequently retained. Although these standards address established adverse effects associated with RF exposure, they have not been comprehensively revised to reflect the enormous changes in wireless technology and patterns of human exposure over the past three decades.
Today, children routinely encounter wireless devices in classrooms, homes, and public spaces. They may experience exposures from multiple sources over many years, beginning during prenatal development.
The fact is that close and constant exposure to devices such as routers in homes, wireless access points in schools, and hot spots in hospitals harms human health.
We believe this exposure environment warrants renewed scientific scrutiny, independent research, and reasonable precautionary protections.
The federal courts have already recognized the need for greater accountability.
In Environmental Health Trust et al. v. FCC (2021), the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit found that the FCC had not adequately explained its decision to retain existing RF exposure guidelines with respect to potential harmful effects unrelated to cancer.
The court directed the FCC to address several important issues, including:
Potential effects of RF exposure on children
Pulse variations and possible changes which could reduce harm
Health implications of long-term exposure
The widespread use of wireless devices and technological developments
The adequacy of existing device-testing procedures
Potential environmental impacts on trees, animals, aquatic life, and insects
This decision provides a compelling legal and public-health basis for renewed review of existing federal protections.
We request action. Th ecell phones and router can be made safer by altering the pulse variations. The manufacturers just nee dto be required to do so.
Please see the attached comment for further details.
