ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My life is no longer the same. I suffer from a serious thyroid condition and symptoms that prevent me from leading a normal life. As soon as I pick up the phone, I start to experience pain in my bones and breasts. I developed a large lump in my breast five years ago, and that is exactly where it hurts when I pick up the phone. I suffer from dizziness and difficulty keeping my balance, a cold, burning sensation in my head and fatigue. I often experience arrhythmias and paroxysmal tachycardia. Lately, I’ve been feeling worse because I live not far from a 5G mast. How can one protect oneself when Wi-Fi is everywhere? How can one work in this state? You must acknowledge that you are destroying the lives of adults and children. But perhaps that is exactly what you want.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Microwave radiofrequencies, 5G, 6G, graphene nanomaterials: Technologies used in neurological warfare https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11618680/ It was already known & was pushed through anyway. I would get migraines in my own house and my daughter had rashes and heat. It was affecting me so much that it was part of the reason I left my marriage of 30 years. My family would not believe me about what was impacting my health or read the documentation that I researched. I went to school board meetings, county meetings, state meetings & very few decision makers would take anything seriously even when presented with studies. After my divorce, I eventually purchased an older home and do not own a TV nor do I have WiFi. The new subdivisions being built with smart everything affected me when touring open houses. I don’t like going out much anymore. Cities have too many frequencies interfering with my biofield and grocery shopping is especially annoying. I know insurance companies refused to insure telecommunication companies over this, so what does that say?

The commenter describes EMF sensitivity after device and router changes, reports dizziness, palpitations …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hello, I started with emf sensitivity when we started adding more devices and our router was updated to one that couldn’t be turned off at night. Now with towers and antennas all around us I suffer with dizziness, blurry eyes, heart palpitations and I don’t sleep more than 3 nights a week, that’s the worst, we are moving to an area that I hope will better. I hope something can be done about it especially for the children since they have their whole life ahead of them. Thank you palpitations and I don’t sleep more than maybe 3 times a week, we are moving to an area that I hope will be better.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
John M. Endres Wireless Technology (EMF) Health Symptoms October 2, 2012 to present (2026) On October 2, 2012 a “smart” water meter was installed at the Biotechnology facility that I worked in. Approx 30 minutes after the “smart” water meter installation, I began to feel ill while working in our office area. My symptoms included: headache, nausea, difficulty focusing on my work, a metallic taste in my mouth, rapid vibration of my temple veins, and painful neck lymph nodes. I left the office area, and walked to my bench in our laboratory area. I stayed in the laboratory for the remainder of my work day. The painful symptoms subsided, and I left the building to go home. When home, I tried to make sense of what happened to me in my office area. I knew that there was a WiFi Repeater on the power cable approximately 15 feet from our office window. Could the WiFi Repeater somehow be interacting with signals from the “smart” water meter? There were over 20 scientists in our facility, but I was the only individual to experience adverse health symptoms. While at home, my symptoms disappeared. I began to document my symptoms. I returned to work the following day and while at my office desk the painful headache and other symptoms returned. I had to leave work and went home, and my symptoms slowly dissipated. Over the next 5 work days, I documented my symptoms at work and tried various shielding methods and finding safe areas (laboratories, break room, etc.). I began researching papers regarding health impacts of man-made electromagnetic fields (EMFs) of wireless technology. I purchased a TENMARS TM-195 3-axis RF Field Strength meter, and EMF protective clothing from Less EMF, Inc. I measured the temperature of my head at various locations. I decided that I would be a “guinea pig” and record and document the EMFs at various locations in our facility. Brief summary of symptoms and measurements from my 5-day study Overall Symptoms while at work: headache, nausea, difficulty concentrating on tasks, shakiness, pain in the back of my neck at the base of my skull, rapid and painful vibration of my temple veins, stomach queasiness, pulse and heart rate variability, left eye pain sensations, shortness of breath, heat sensations around my head, “metallic mouth taste”, shakiness or quivering of my legs, etc. µW/m² range of values using the RF Field Strength meter, October 10, 2012 Background test of RF meter at home: 0--200 µW/m² Range of µW/m² values at my desk on 10/10/2012, 9:55 am to 11:15 am: 960.8 – 2,070 µW/m² At 11:15 am I left our facility as I was not feeling well and when I reached my car I had a seizure where I lost control of my legs. After a few minutes, I slowly made it back into our facility. I was taken immediately to our company Dr at our main facility and she confirmed that I had a very serious seizure and that I could not risk having another seizure (as it could cause very significant harm). Two months prior to my EMF symptoms, I had an annual medical exam and was given a clean bill of health. I had MRI and EEG exams after my seizure—they did not reveal anything of concern. Several days after my seizure, our department head walked into our office area and he asked me: “John, do you know that there is a WiFi router in the upstairs conference room, directly above your head?” Oh my goodness! I was not aware of the WiFi router directly above my head. This may explain a lot. I have been researching the health impacts of wireless technology ever since my experience with the “smart” water meter” incident at the biotech facility. I immediately found two books by Dr Robert Becker: “The Body Electric” and “Cross Currents”. In his book “The Body Electric”, on page 284, under the subheading “Fatal Locations”, Dr Becker writes in the 2nd paragraph six sentences that have stuck with me ever since my episode with the “smart” water meter: “The major problems come from extremely low frequencies (ELF), but higher frequencies have the same effects if pulsed or modulated in the ELF range. This is very often the case, for, to transmit information, microwaves or radio waves must be shaped. This is done by interrupting the beam to form pulses or by modulating the frequency or amplitude (size) of the waves. Furthermore, today’s environment is a latticework of crisscrossing signals in which there’s always the possibility of synergistic effects or the “construction” of new ELF signals from the patterns of interference between two higher frequencies. Therefore, experiments in which cells or organisms are exposed to a single unmodulated frequency, though sometimes useful, are irrelevent outside the lab. They’re most often done by researchers whose only goal is to be able to say, “See, there’s no cause for alarm.”

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 live in a condominium apartment complex. Everyone above, below, and around have wifi. I have noticed that a lot people are experiencing brain fog. I believe all this radiation exposure is attributing to this.

The commenter attributes tinnitus and insomnia to continuous home Wi-Fi, reports improvement after reduci…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am an individual that has witnessed family members insisting we leave the house internet and Wi-Fi turned on 24/7 and they were in bed when a big cabinet glass suddenly literally shattered into pebble sized dangerous glass. We always would turn off the Wi-Fi in the evening until about noon the next day. This is because it caused tinnitus and insomnia. The family members are not living here anymore and the symptoms are better than when the Internet was on 24/7 daily. There needs to be current studies provided what is safe for all humans and animals.

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 citizen. Within a month of the introduction of cell phones, around the early 1990's (Clovis, CA), my husband began having unbearable ringing in his ears. He began having hearing issues and eventually wore progressively more potent hearing aids. Today, he now has a cochlear implant. Meanwhile, as cellphones prolifereated, I developed a heart "flutter", which my cardiologist can't find a reason for. However, when I'm at our home at Lake Tahoe where my computer senses at least 7 wifi systems from the densely packed houses nearby, my ears ring intensely and my heart flutter worsens (to the point of making me cough and or feeling like I'm going to pass out. These symptoms reduce significantly when we are at our house down in the Carson Valley in Nevada, where homes are on acreage and much farther apart. I sincerely believe cell phone towers and their attendant radiation, are causing physical ailments in people. Thank you for providing US citizens with an opportunity to be heard on the issue of EMFs Lianne Peterson

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 adult how has been at times strongly affected by wireless radiation. I have to be very careful to how much exposure I receive. I get headaches and it feels like my skin, particularly on my face starts to tingle. My skin gets hot and will progress to actually turning bright red if I don’t remove myself from the area or device. Eventually my heart will start racing and I start tingling all over. It feels like some unseen oppressive force. I have learned racks to keep myself away from the worst of it. I use a flip phone instead of a smart phone and not having it turned on except when I need to make a call.. A router in my house is too strong so I now use a small hotspot and turn my WiFi of frequently and definitely every night. I would like to have wired internet but it’s problematic with my particular home. That’s what I hope to eventually have as it is much safer. 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 writing this in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I appreciate that you provide individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard on this very important subject! I have managed to keep my household low on EMF's (we don't have wireless wifi and don't use cell phones at home) and have therefore not suffered personally any adverse effects I have witnessed others suffer serious health problems from exposure to wireless radiation and therefore 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. Thanks for taking this to heart!

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 EMF DISABLED patient, parent /my daughter is also EMF harmed, I am a healthcare professional-Family Nurse Practitioner of 42 years, and a researcher / author and Anti-EMF advocate, & concerned member of the public. I had to leave my medical clinic 5 years ago because the landlord put WiFi Routers above and next to my clinic. Then the local electric company EWEB put a SMART Meter on the building. I became light headed, headaches, nausea, my blood pressure spiked and I became unsteady on my feet with fuzzy thinking. I could no longer see patients in my medical practice. I moved my Nurse Practitioner clinic home and had to let go my 3 staff. This rather wrecked my finances. My home had a safe analog electric meter, and I had thrown out my cell phone and got wired modems and a $3,500 Power Perfect device on my electric system to take out all dirty electricity from the power lines coming into my house. That worked until the dread Eugene Water and Electric company forced me and everyone else in town to get a digital SMART METER ON THE HOUSE. Five ex-military “Security people” from EWEB appeared and 3 of them were in body armor with a taser on one hip and a pistol on the other and told me they were here to take your meter lady”. Fabulous intimidation, I was 74 years of age were they expecting I would wrestle them to the ground? The day they put the SMART meter on my home I immediately had high pitched buzzing in my head ,chest pain, my blood pressure spiked, headaches and I was unsteady on my feet. I could not stay in the home so I slept in a friend’s shed with no power. I called EWEB the next day to see if they could give me another type of meter. They sent another armed guard and a bucket truck out and told me I had to keep this meter that I had or they could cut the power at the pole…...So they cut my power on Sept 27, 2024 because I could not live in a house with a Smart meter and be EMF Disabled. Two years later I am running off a solar generator and had to change out $55,000 in getting all new natural gas appliances for a refrigerator, heating stove, water heater,solar panels.My oven does not work since it is electric and I have been cooking all my meals on a Coleman camp stove for 2 years on a covered deck in all weather. I am now 75. Unfortunately I am still not safe living here due to more EMFs/ cell towers and my neighbor’s homes emitting RF and it was my “Forever home” of 20 years and it looks like I am to be forced out of here. I have one 30 watt non LED light bulb in the whole home that runs off a solar generator and my computer. I spend my evenings with candles or REI back packing lanterns for light in the home since the power was cut at the pole 2 years ago. I still have high pitched buzzing in my head, fuzzy thinking when it is high with awful fatigue that comes in waves. I can pick up 16 of my neighbor’s WiFi routers, and their SMART meters & a baby monitor on my EMF /RF meter. I have NOT slept through the night in 3 years now since the SMART meter roll out. I NEVER wake up refreshed no matter how many hours I am trying to sleep. I have come to hate nights due to the constant buzzing. My white blood count has dropped due to the EMF exposure and I am working myself up for auto immune problems and it has stirred up my in-remission Epstein Barr from 30 years ago. I now have all leather grounding shoes, 4 grounding mats to sit on, a grounding mat on my bed that is grounded on my mattress, I have grounding silver thread sheets and a $1,300 SILVER thread Faraday canopy over my bed. I have put aluminum radiant barrier on my bedroom walls/ ceiling and floor and have put 2 layers of aluminum screen over my bedroom windows and the mesh is grounded with a metal rod. All of this blocks some of the EMFs/ RF, but not enough. On the www.AntennaeSearch.com website my home comes up with 161 large 5G towers and 492 small cell antenna within 3 miles of my home. They have a new 5G 500 foot tower 0.2 miles from my home with 3 telecoms on it, I can see the tower from my back deck. When it was 4G it did not give me symptoms .“They” put in 15 large 400-500 foot towers during Covid when people were not looking/ distracted ,along the railroad track which curves so all 15 of these Damn towers are ¾ of a mile from my home. I am being COOKED and I feel rotten. If I go out into the country away from cell phone towers ALL the buzzing in my head goes away and my cognition totally clears up and I have energy again. The RF/ EMF/ 5G towers & cell phones and wifi routers made me sick. They are an invisible toxin that is permeating my walls, ceiling and windows and my yard, that I no longer enjoy being in since the buzzing in my head is worse outside. At 75 I have to find a new home.
