Wi-Fi & indoor exposure

I am documenting concerns regarding my CenturyLink C4000BZ modem/router, manufactured by Zyxel Communications Corporation, FCC ID I88C4000LZ. This dual-band Wi-Fi device operates at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Additionally I also show readings from a NETGEAR Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Model R8000 a tri-band router/extender with one 2.4 GHz band and two 5 GHz bands. NETGEAR describes it as providing combined Wi-Fi speeds of up to 3.2 Gbps I personally experience extreme agitation and anxiety when my Wi-Fi is turned on and I spend periods of time online at the computer. As a result, I keep my Wi-Fi router unplugged unless I am actively using it to access the Internet. I am concerned about potential electromagnetic exposure in my home and the environment shared with my animals, & with my students highly sensitive dogs while in class. I recorded a video of readings displayed with the GQ EMF-390 detector and am submitting this footage for consideration. I cannot establish that the equipment causes my symptoms, but my experiences warrant documenting and investigating my concerns. Maybe only a few people are sensitive, regardless these things should be safe for EVERYONE and our Animals cannot understand these technologies or choose whether to remain in environments where wireless equipment operates. First part of the video the router was not completely online and once it was the RFs went up to 977 mW/m². The other device, NETGEAR Nighthawk we checked and even though the emf's combined was 4.8, the EF was 18v/m and the RFs were up to 962mW/m². These numbers very concerning. Many believe the flower of Life symbol can protect but in the two pictures as you can see the overall EMF went down but the RFs actually jumped higher with the dime-sized metal flower of life symbol placed on the top of the router. I would love to understand this better myself. I respectfully request greater transparency, independent research, and further evaluation of potential EMF/RF/SMART-METER exposure and its implications for human and animal health.

In 2011 I bought my first iPhone. I began to feel very ill. When I put the phone down I felt better. I got rid of the phone. I lived my life only being able to use technology in limited ways but it was manageable. In 2019 my workplace updated their WiFi throughout the building and I was no longer able to be inside the building. In 2020 as most 5G was installed, it was the drop that tipped the bucket for the radiation exposure my body could handle and I am no longer able to use a computer, go inside any public buildings with WiFi, homes with WiFi, cars with Bluetooth or be in the vicinity of any type of cell tower. My life is severely limited due to the sea of non-ionizing radiation we live in each day. I cannot work, go shopping, or visit friends or family without severe radiation sickness

PLEASE PUT A STOP TO THE EMF, RF AND WIRELESS RADIATION. YOU HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO BE IN THE POSITION/TITLE YOUR IN AND WE THE PEOPLE ARE DEPENDING ON YOU TO HELP PROTECT US FROM ALL THIS RADIATION HARM. IT IS SLOWLY KILLING EVERYONE AND NEEDS TO BE SHUT OFF. WE DONT NEED IT. THE OLD WAY OF DOING THING WERE MORE DEPENDABLE AND SAFER WHEN WE DID NOT HAVE THIS WIFI AND EMF POISON. THIS EMF, WIFI IS WARPING PEOPLE'S MINDS AND DISTORYING EVERYONE'S INCLUDING YOUR BODY. YOU BEEN PUT IN A POSITION TO PROTECT AND SERVER THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND WE NEED YOU TO FOR FILL YOUR DUTIES. OUR AND OUR CHILDREN'S HEALTH AND LIVES ARE DEPENDING ON YOU. SHOW THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT YOU CARE AND SHOW THE BIG TECH AND BIG COMPANIES THAT YOU ARE IN CONTROL AND WILL NOT TOLERATE ANYMORE OF THIS POISION RADIATION THAT IS KILLING AND MAKING PEOPLE SICK. IF YOU DONT THAN ALL OUR BLOOD IS ON YOUR HANDS, PLEASE MAKE A DIFFERANCE AND HELP PROTECT MAN KIND. WE NEED YOUR HELP TO PUT A STOP TO THIS.

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 patient. I have been affected by wireless radiation such as wifi routers, cellphones, and celltowers since 2019 starting at 14 years old. My symptoms include headaches, fatigue, joint pain, heartbeat irregularities, shaking, balance problems, severe brain-fog to the point of losing the ability to speak and understand language, and widespread pain. These symptoms increased in severity the longer and more often I was in proximity to wireless radiation such as cellphones or buildings with active wifi routers or hotspots. Additionally, the longer I was exposed to wireless radiation the longer it took my body to recover enough to handle being exposed again. I was already homeschooled, which allowed me to control the environment I was in most of the day, but I had to drop out of any extra-curricular programs that were held inside a building as well as limit my time in public places due to wifi and cellphone exposure. In 2020, 5G towers started to be put up in my neighborhood in Chicago and I discovered that these towers hurt me to the extent that walking past one would keep me housebound and incapable of doing much besides laying still for the next 24 hours. My family was forced to move away from the city as more and more 5G towers were put up, limiting the places I could go. Currently, I live with my parents in a completely wired house, keep my phone on airplane mode whenever it is on my person, and continue to be severely limited in activities and outings due to symptoms from wireless radiation. I am unable to have an in-person job in any building with wifi and neither can I do any service such as jury duty. I am nearly housebound; Going to the grocery store, to church, to friend’s houses, or virtually any indoor public space has to be carefully planned and my exposure time limited to an hour maximum in order for me to be able to heal within 36 hours. 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 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 of a person impacted by EMFs. The lady in question had huge headaches, ear ringing, sleepless nights, increasingly irritable, caused problems in her family. I told her to turn off the wifi router as much as possible, she could only turn it off during the night. It made all the difference. All symptoms disappeared within a few days. My family had short livied similar issues, which made us hard-wire our house and use blocking materials on our walls and windows. We now have no issues, long gone.

I am a mother and grandmother and very concerned about EMF and radiation exposure. I support HSS examining health effects from exposure, I avoid ear buds, turn off my router at night and try to have my bedroom free of plugged in items that give off EMFs. From research and testimonies I believe this to be one of the top health risks to our children. Thank you for looking into this matter for the health of this nation.

It is affecting many people in buildings and homes with the 5G frequencies meter boxes high voltage regulations and when you go to the hospital you come out more sicker because of the magnetic field that it has the frequencies with WiFi throughout the corridors and the patient's room. Please take notice and prevention. My suggestion is due Obama insurance care

I first began aware of ticks about age 7 when climbing a sapling in my parents back yard. There was no doctor who could test much less treat the rapid decline my health underwent thereafter. I became aware of cell phone radiation when my husband and I began shopping for our first cell phone using a chart supplied listing make/model/radiation emitted. We chose a balance of low radiation and price. I first became aware of my sensitivity to radiation as a child when entering a department store from a mall and experienced discomfort audibly as being very high frequency. I next became aware of my sensitivity to radiation when entering our local bank. Qhen entering, the ladies would say " we should have known it was you coming, Deb, as our computers froze." Recently, at church, a friend was trying to show us photos of his mission trip but his phone had locked up. I explained thisnhappened a lot, walked away while my husband explained this weird phenominon to him. Once I got far enough from his phone, the man was able to scroll to the photo he was seeking. His mouth dropped open in surprise as I walked back for a repeat. I call this the prince of the power of the air but know that it is radiation on many forms. I can not be in my house with wifi or use a hot spot without wearing tin foil on my head or my stainless steel mixing bowl lined with an apron on my head as the bones in my head feel as if they are being compressed, my jaw begins to ache, my chest feels compressed, i get a headache and can not think correctly, i also become tired. My car thankfully os older so I feel ok while driving it. We need a new car however finding a salesperson willing to invest the time on locating a low tech vehicle plus the other specifics we desire is problematic. Finally, since moving to KY, we have sought someone who was blood vector literate, as our children were both conceived having absorbed all of my infections. At age 39, I was diagnosed by Hopkins with MS. My MRI showed 3 plaques on brain, neck aand spine. Blessidly, at age 50, we took our child to the Amen Clinic where Dr. Joseph Anaboly saved our lives by directing us to ILADS.org where our children and my husband and I were diagnosed with an abundence of Lyme disease and co-infections, viruses, bacterian, parasites, etc. The International Lyme Associated Disease Society saved our lives by correctly testing and treating our illnesses. We remain with those incredible women however, having moved to TN 6 years ago, we recently sought a Lyme Literate Doc. Our naturalpath began by drawing blood and looking at it under his microscope hooked to his computer screen. This is where we first observed Rouleaux (mal) Formations. The Swiss have used basic tests to show exposure to a cell phone in the area in back of their knee (within an otherwise healthy subject ) within minutes displayed flattened, stacked red blood cells appearing as if they were dimes placed one on top of the other in the paper bank holder. I have photos coming of my blood displaying the Rouleaux formations but wanted to send this information in a timely fashion. A cell phone tower was recently built a mile or so away from us so when I go outside, I usually place a double sheet of foil inside the crown of my hat. Our phones are kept in a metal cookie tin at night. I no longer carry a cell phone with me but do when traveling carry a phone inside a cookie tin for emergencies. I am thankful for this opportunity to contribute my experience to help others who experience physicsl discomfort and many interuptions to their lives. I warn many other people about the dangers of radiation to children and small animals. I also caution young marrieds to be accurately tested for LD infections before trying to conceive. Thank you.

In 2017, I was diagnosed with GAD due to strong feelings of stress/panic, muscle tension (especially in jaw), and trouble breathing. I was given fluoxetine and took magnesium and a B-vitamin complex, which all seemed to help. Since my marriage in 2020, my family has sought to decrease our RF/EMF exposure because of health issues my husband was experiencing (he has submitted his own comment). By then, I had stopped taking fluoxetine because I hoped to get pregnant. My anxiety improved over the first few years of our marriage, so that I now no longer consider myself to have GAD. I suspect that my anxiety symptoms improved because of my family's efforts to reduce RF/EMF exposure; my symptoms reappear at times that correlate with RF/EMF exposure. I first realized this when my favorite armchair was positioned over an ungrounded extension cord running to a nearby lamp: whenever I had been sitting in the chair for a while, I would feel extremely anxious and tense and have trouble breathing, even if nothing stressful was going on. When my husband wrapped the cord in aluminum foil and attached a grounding wire to it, the problem went away. I have noticed similar recurrences of my anxiety symptoms, as well as increased brain fog, memory trouble, concentration trouble, obsessive/repetitive thoughts, and general malaise when exposed to smart meters up to about 30' away, a smart garage door opener about 20' away, and bluetooth and wi-fi at distances exceeding 10'. I usually notice the feeling before I realize what's causing it, and when the source is turned off, the symptoms go away, sometimes instantly and sometimes fading more slowly. We recently discovered that dirty electricity may also cause me problems. We were living in a house where I was having all of the symptoms I've already mentioned stronger than normal, and my husband asked me to sit on a couch where I had felt those symptoms particularly strongly before while he systematically turned the circuits in the house on and off until we isolated the circuit that the garage freezer was on. I felt fine when the circuit was on and the freezer was not running, but once the freezer kicked on, even though it was halfway across the house from me, I felt like a wave of something hit me: I was aware of everything happening around me, but I felt zombie-like, and it took massive effort to think or respond to anything. I also felt this sensation recently in a hotel with wi-fi routers on a shared grid, but it improved when we were moved to a room without a router. Additionally, I notice a dull headache if I put my iPhone 6 to my head to talk on a call, so I usually use speakerphone. I have not been able to upgrade my phone despite increasing compatibility issues because anything newer causes sharper headaches, even on speakerphone. The headache lasts for at least 15 minutes after the call ends. Taking magnesium and B-vitamin supplements still tends to reduce but not eliminate my symptoms when I am exposed to something.
