Reports cognitive and physical symptoms attributed to phones and Wi-Fi, inability to work, shielding cost…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
After buying my first smartphone, I noticed that every time I used it, I would experience brain fog for several hours. I began to suspect that wireless radiation was harmful, and I connected this with the overwhelming physical and mental exhaustion I experienced whenever I went into cities, and the memory loss I had been experiencing since I started working in a new place next to a Wi Fi router. It was even worse during group meetings. I continued to be exposed for some time because I did not know what to do. During this period, my mental abilities deteriorated further. I had problems with concentration and memory, as well as brain fog. My fatigue, digestive problems and muscle pain got worse. Today, I have learned how to protect myself from radiation. I have shielded my apartment because of my neighbours’ Wi Fi, and I hardly ever go out anymore because I know I will feel unwell for several days afterwards. I can no longer work. I no longer visit my friends either. Some do not take my request to turn off their devices into account. Others tell me they have turned everything off, but then I start to feel unwell. So I dare to be impolite: I take out my measuring device, only to discover that the TV, the remote control or some other device is emitting radiation continuously without their knowledge. Even talking to someone in my small hamlet has become a danger to me, because nobody goes out anymore without their highly connected smartphone. Then, some time ago, a 5G antenna was installed, which also means I can no longer go for walks in nature. I cannot consider moving, because even if, by some miracle, I managed to find somewhere with low levels of radiation, an antenna could be installed at any time. And shielding an apartment takes a great deal of money and energy. I try not to think about the future and to find enjoyment even in my isolated and confined daily life.

Describes head pain and hand burning attributed to phone use, avoidance of wireless devices, and a reques…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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, parent, family member, caregiver, healthcare professional, researcher, advocate, concerned member of the public, or other]. I am all of the above. In October 2009 I started using a cell phone. It was low to moderate use. By the summer of 2010 I started to feel pain in my left temple where I would hold the phone. I would also get headaches, but only on the left side. This scared me so in general, I stopped holding it up to my head. I then started to learn about wireless radiation. I became pregnant by December of 2010 and then rarely used the phone. Then I completely stopped using a cell phone. It's 2026 and I still rarely use a cell phone with the exception of certain times while traveling, etc. I also still have intermittent pressure and pain in my left temporal area of my head. Now, when I hold the phone my hand gets warm and feels like it's burning still the next day, even with short term use. I'm pretty much scared to use a phone because of how it makes me feel. I also have educated myself all about wireless radiation and that's why I don't use wi-fi, a smart meter, or any wireless devices. It's horrible that we all have to live around it if we go out into public. The government needs to establish guidelines that will protect the public, instead of harming them, from wireless radiation. The only safe level is zero. Please stop putting money in front of people's health. Wireless radiation causes heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and neurological illness. It's one of the main factors in the dramatic increase in illness in our population. The answer lies in not searching for the truth, but facing the truth.

Reports buzzing and scalp sensations near antennas, melanoma at a phone-contact location, and sleep probl…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
For years RF did not bother me, In the last 5 years symptoms have started to appear. A loud buzzing sound when exposed to radio frequency, sometimes depending on the antenna, the round ones are the worst I get and itching and crawling sensation on my scalp like the skin is rippling. Leaving the vacinity of the antenna it subsides within a few minutes. If it wasnt accross from the cemetary where my family is buried I would avoid it totally. I have self limited my exposure as much as possible. As a part of limiting exposure, I have my work phone away from me by several feet, but when I have to many things to carry, I sometimes tuck it under my arm to carry in the house. Very stupid, but I did. Within a year I developed a cancerous melanoma about the size of pencil eraser exactly where the antenna sat on the phone. A place that never receives sun or natural things that might cause it to be in that location. I guess I thought this was safe because it was only for about a minute once or twice per day. We have turned off the WIFI in our home because of sleep issues, and any devices are turned off and in other rooms. Antenna should not be so close to people that they cannot have use and enjoyment of their outside space or be forced to sheild their living areas to be able to survive.

Reports cognitive symptoms and daughters' anxiety attributed to wireless exposure, discusses calcium-chan…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
The expansion of wireless radiation has caused many people to have serious health effects. Safety NEEDS to be a consideration with expansion into 5G and 6G and beyond. Personally, I used to have photographic memory up until my early 20s. Around 3G/4G and increased wifi exposure I went to having brainfog and memory issues on a constant basis and having difficulty forming clear thoughts/words/sentences at times. I do everything I can to reduce exposure... use 4g (turn off 5g) on my cell phone and use wired headphone buds or speaker phone for my calls, turn wireless off at night in my home, put a faraday cage to help reduce exposure from the Smart Meter... but it is impossible to avoid towers that come to neighborhoods without our say or knowledge or consent. And they are documented to mess with our cells (gated calcium channel effects) and cause anxiety etc. My own daughters 15 and 21 both suffer alot of unexplained anxiety that has increased SIGNIFICANTLY the past few years since 5G was introduced and I do believe there is a connection considering how much wireless frequencies /EMF they are exposed at school. No schools or homes or playgrounds should have wireless towers near them. There are OVER 10,000 studies worldwide showing the negative health effects of wireless radiation, and levels much lower than what the US deems allowable cause harm. I truly believe we will face a health crisis. See all the turbo cancers that have recently garnered attention may also be connected.

Describes a plant's decline after switching to wireless home internet and concerns about family behavior …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am submitting this comment as a concerned member of the public, a parent, and a family member who is deeply concerned about the potential effects of wireless technology and radiofrequency (RF) radiation on our homes and families. My Personal Experience with Wireless Home Internet My concerns became more immediate when I switched internet providers and installed T-Mobile home internet in my home. Before I made the switch, my daughter reminded me that I had previously told her I sometimes feel uneasy when I can sense that someone's microwave oven is operating nearby. She was surprised that I would choose to bring wireless internet equipment into my home, given what I had told her. Her comment made me stop and reconsider my decision. Approximately one week after installing T-Mobile home internet, I noticed that my Golden Pothos, a hanging plant I had cared for for 20 to 25 years, began to deteriorate. Its leaves turned brown and fell to the floor. For decades, this plant had been full, healthy, and beautiful in the same location. I was perplexed by its sudden decline. Concerned by the timing, I promptly canceled the service and returned to cable internet. Unfortunately, I ultimately had to replace my longtime plant. My Concerns About Changes in My Family My concerns extend beyond my own home. I became increasingly troubled by changes I observed in my daughter's emotional state and family relationships after she and her husband moved into a newly built home in Florida. Their home contained numerous connected technologies, including smart door locks, a smart security system, televisions, cell phones, and internet-connected devices. After they moved, family members and I noticed what appeared to be a significant change in her demeanor and in the way she and her husband interacted with their young child. They seemed increasingly impatient, and I was deeply troubled by the harsh way they spoke to their baby. Neither seemed to have much patience with the child. These changes concerned me greatly as a parent and grandparent. Over time, my relationship with my daughter deteriorated, and she eventually became estranged from me. I continue to worry about the child's well-being. I cannot say with certainty that wireless radiation caused these changes. However, the timing of these events has left me deeply concerned and questioning whether environmental factors in our homes may play a role in changes in people's emotional states, behavior, and relationships. Family estrangement is deeply painful. I cannot help but wonder whether factors in our modern environment, including wireless radiation and other environmental exposures, deserve consideration when trying to understand troubling changes in ourselves and our loved ones. Conclusion I am submitting this comment because I believe my personal experiences are worth sharing as part of the public discussion about EMFs, RF radiation, and wireless technology exposure. The decline of a plant I had cared for over two decades and the troubling changes I observed in my family have left me with questions and concerns I cannot ignore. Although I cannot establish a direct connection between these experiences and wireless radiation, I believe they are important to document. As a parent and family member, my greatest concern is the well-being of our children and the people we love. I hope that sharing my experiences will contribute to a better understanding of the concerns some members of the public have about wireless technology in their homes. Thank you for considering my comment

Reports electrohypersensitivity and symptoms around wireless sources, describes improvement in nature, an…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am electrohypersensitive and I really feel bad when I'm near a phone with an active internet connection, and also near wifi and antennas, and in general in places with a lot of people and active connections. I develope: headache, tiredness, weakness and bad mood. My muscles also hurt. When I have the opportunity to stay in safe places (such a rare thing!), like for istance in the nature, I feel really good, without any problem. When I come back to the exposition it is very disturbing. I think we could avoid a lot of exposition using the cable (I do in my home) and having a better consciousness of the problem. And also using the wireless connection very much better and less than now.

Describes tinnitus, headaches and balance problems after workplace wireless deployment and subsequent aco…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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 an individual patient and a concerned member of the public. I started work at a major R&D laboratory in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 2000, and the institution began roll-out of complete building wireless communications within the next three years. By the year 2006, I had developed severe tinnitus, headaches, dizziness and balance issues. In the years 2006-07 I was diagnosed with an acoustic neuroma which continued to increase in size until significant treatment was required (a complete course of fractionated stereotactic radiation). This was massively disruptive to me, my family and workplace. This experience significantly and negatively affected my daily life until resolved in 2009. 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.

Describes alleged electronic targeting, surveillance and bodily effects, references Havana syndrome, and …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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 targeted individual who has experienced radiation sickness, burns, forced speech, forced movements, spasm, false visions, and v2k periodically since at least 2013. I have no criminal record and am being followed around and harassed nonstop without any due process. I believe that current surveillance standards are unconstitutional on a global scale, and the moods of entire populations are being manipulated for someone's personal gain. I am being hacked regularly in ways that are federally illegal and clearly unethical, but mainly there are a number of people who are constantly sick from wireless radiation and I am unable to use anything other than a hotspot or I will be physically incapacitated by the router itself. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are experiencing the same thing. I'd recommend looking up Targeted Justice dot com or Cognitive Liberty on Youtube for an overview of widely documented evidence regarding remote mind control and electronic torture akin to Havana syndrome.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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 concerned member of the public and sufferer of EMRS. This issue matters to me personally because, though I am otherwise totally healthy, I suffer from 'Electro-Magnetic Radiation Syndrome' (EMR-S), a condition affecting millions of Americans and covered under the American Disabilities Act. Whenever I get near a cell tower or high-powered wifi router (same radiation), I start to get a headache and feel dizzy. Within minutes of me moving away, I fully recover. I have to live in a house away from this radiation in order to survive. And when I travel, I have to sleep inside a Faraday tent in order to actually sleep. 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.

The commenter reports sleep and other symptoms improving after moving bedroom internet equipment, raises …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hello, I am responding as an individual and I would like to explain my experience with EMFs. I used to have the internet equipment (router, modem etc.) all in my bedroom and soon after it was installed I noticed my sleep suffer immensely. Not only was my insomnia terrible but I started getting other symptoms; brain fog, low energy, low mood, low drive, low libido etc. I was always exhausted and fatigued, I barely had the energy to go for a walk. I came across a podcast that talked about EMF radiation and some of its effects and then I realized that I might be the victim of that. I had my internet service provider move all the equipment to another room and slowly my symptoms went away and I felt like a new man. If I didn't come across that podcast I would have never guessed what it was. Since then I have read books, articles, listened to podcasts etc. about EMF radiation and there is no doubt that it is harmful to both humans and animals and it is also a carcinogen. The terrible part is that we are all surrounded by this everyday with phones, wifi, smart devices, towers etc. Our poor children are exposed to all this plus at school with all their devices and air pods that use to listen to music. It is frying their brain and could cause irreversible damage to them. There are thousands of studies confirming it's negative effects yet there is nothing done about it. I would like to share some links to studies: https://greenmedinfo.com/problematic-action/electromagnetic-field-harms (list of studies, there are more than this on other websites) https://greenmedinfo.com/abstracts/use-bed-insulating-system-electromagnetic-fields-improves-immune-function-redo https://greenmedinfo.com/abstracts/hearing-aid-users-may-be-risk-high-electromagnetic-field-exposure-may-be-accom https://greenmedinfo.com/abstracts/long-term-occupational-exposure-elf-emfs-likely-cause-genotoxic-effects These are just a few out of thousands!!! Again, we know they are harmful. Now we need restrictions and safety measures in place to reduce the amount of damage that people are getting from this exposure. Federal health agencies should consider the power of the tower or device being constructed and calculate the radius at which it will do harm. then construct it at a location where there is minimal people and animals. At the very least the FCC needs to review and update its guidelines to minimize the harm that people are subjugated to. Thank you for allowing us to comment on this matter.
