The commenter reports neurological symptoms around wireless sources following earlier head trauma, descri…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
. & 2. I am responding as: an individual 3a. Type of wireless or RF/EMF sources involved (e.g., mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters…)Wireless phones, cell towers, micro-broadcasters, electric cars, some wifi routers, 3b. Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years):Sometimes stabbing pain in previously injured ( 40 years ago) head trauma when i am in a beam from a tower AKA in a car in traffic/ at a red light, and the symptoms disappear within minutes after the car moves on...Back around 2012 it started and I was treated in Emergency for seizures, and the drug made me really sick and I developed severe IBS.... A second neurologist examined me while under an episode and diagnosed me with a "full body migraine" and prescribed drugs... I have avoided symptoms by dietary and supplement additions, but overexposure ( too ling in certain parts of the city or airplane travel ) time wise , .... it's not linear - seems to be fluid-factors of 1- Strength of signal, 2- Distance from the source 3- Duration of exposure.... one of these three factors primarily may give a different response than another factor, but I have not been able to figure that out. 3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced:The symptoms change each time but consistently from the following. : Dizzy, "zoned out" like a drug sometimes slurred speech or inability to move, sometimes falling over throwing up in the ditch, inability to sleep, depressive emotions, blurry eyesight, physical neural pain in the old injury site, rarely but sometimes actual headaches.. In a hotel I "wake up like a shot" at 3:00-4:00 AM with WIFI router on and cannot sleep after. Usually only one or two symptoms at a time ranging from irritating to disabling, and comes in waves. 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:One hour to 4 days- and yes- see above for the three factors that totally coincide; Strength of signal and duration of exposure lead to severe symptoms. 3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis?see above... no doctor that I have seen believes me , but recently I told an allergist receptionist on the phone that I would need a phone-appointment as I could not come to the City, and the receptionist said" No problem at all , a lot of our clients have that issue, let me set up a phone time"..... 3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects?I am 100% free from symptoms when in areas with no WIFI and, Magnesium supplements, BLUSHIELD devices help against home wifi signals, methylene blue blue in emergencies is magic-and homeopathy for EMF seems to help as well although I am skeptical....but it helps so I keep using it... these are all things that help after overexposure. 3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information:I have been self diagnosing and collecting data and receently collating with AI I can share that data if needed - how do i do that 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:Help me please- B1a. Sources you experience as causing you Adverse Effects:Cell phone and multiple cell phones ( bus, concert , airplane), WIFI router, "Small Cell " radiators on telephone poles, Cell towers B1b. Sources you can sense, but don't seem to harm you:ELF waves I cannot sense and don't seem to harm me that I can see, but the dtat seems to say that there are effects B1c. Sources you can use without sensing or being harmed:Cell phone I use briefly- then turn back on airplane mode- short exposure seems OK. B1d. Sources that seem to provide benefit (i.e., electrotherapy):see above B2a. Health conditions you think may contribute to your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless:see above B2b. Health conditions you don't necessarily associate with your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless, but might be relevant:n/a B3a. That you recommend, as they helped you tolerate or recover from EMF exposure:see above B3b. That you recommend, but you’re not positive that they help:Acupuncture, "brain fire" herbal tea, also bio energetic allergy treatments seemed to make me more resilient, silver -lined blankets and hats seem to reduce some of the effects ( ie in a ferry line up in a beam , the blanket shows a large reduction in the RF , B3e. Treatments that made your sensitivity worse:55-64 B4. What is your age range?55-64 B5. What year did you become aware of your sensitivity to wireless radiation or electromagnetic fields?2012 but symptoms started around 2002 B6. What country, state, province, or major city were you living in when you first noticed your sensitivity to wireless or electromagnetic fields?British Columbia Canada

My life has been affected dramatically by RF and other forms of electricity. When wifi first came out, I would sometimes feel as if my body was being warped--I would almost feel like I was going to lose consciousness. Cell phones have affected me as well. It has kept me from working at times. I have lost my home on more than one occasion because of not being able to work in environments full of wireless. I am not alone. Thank you for finally taking a look at this issue.

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 my perspective as a mother grandmother and a person that works with children. PERSONALIZE YOUR COMMENT HERE: if using your phone while on WiFi gives you numb or even tingly or warm feeling on your hands and fingers there is definitely some effect from the radiation coming from your phone. As a whole my family sleeps better when we turn off the WiFi. I work with children, these children carry iPads throughout the day. The building has to have WiFi signal all throughout to be able to use the WiFi , computers and anything else that makes the devices work. Plus we have WiFi towers near our building and in the surrounding neighborhoods. I’d say there’s about 4 towers within a small radius. Children are confined indoors with all that radiation and act very out of control. Almost like something does not allow anyone in the building to focus and makes people anxious. That coupled with chem trails when you exit the building, where you can’t get a break. Constantly being zapped like a bug inside a building and sprayed like a bug while you’re outside. I personally have moments where I feel like I’m out of it or spaced out unable to focus while outdoors. And inside a building where there is tons of LED lights and WiFi makes vision blurry and at times hard to focus on screens. Plus WiFi to top that off, I think it’s a recipe to make anyone feel loopy. Buildings occupied by children or even adults should be monitored and checked for EMF signal toxification, excessive LED lights that affect your sight and possibly cause anxiety. Anyone messing with Gods creation should be healed accountable. It should be criminal to spray our skies, expose us to so much EMF or radiation, and all these LED lights. 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 differences around active Wi-Fi while acknowledging observational limits, and…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am submitting this comment as an individual citizen to share my day-to-day observations regarding wireless devices, living spaces, and overall well-being. ​When discussing how environmental factors might impact people, it is easy to assume that everyday lifestyle issues—such as diet, general stress, screen habits, or irregular sleep hours—are the only things driving changes in how rested or balanced someone feels. Over time, I have tried my best to pay close attention to these patterns and adjust my surroundings to see what differences I could notice. ​Even while making an effort to keep my general habits, diet, and schedule consistent, I have repeatedly noticed a practical difference in my sleep quality and how relaxed my system feels depending on where I am physically located relative to active Wi-Fi equipment. Using a handheld RF meter (a Safe and Sound Pro II) simply as an informational tool to check local signal levels, I noticed that areas right next to active routers or transmitting equipment consistently lined up with more restless nights and feeling less recovered overall. ​Conversely, when devices were turned off, unplugged, or moved farther away from where I rest, I noticed my sleep felt noticeably more continuous and settled. While I recognize that personal observations and correlations noticed in daily life are not formal laboratory studies, the consistency of what I observed in my own environment felt very real to me. ​Beyond just the raw strength of an individual signal, what stands out to me is the sheer number of overlapping broadcasting points we now live around. In any modern home or neighborhood, you are rarely dealing with a single transmitter; you have multiple wireless devices, mesh systems, and neighboring networks all transmitting simultaneously. As a citizen, I find it alarming that equipment is certified in isolation under standards that simply do not reflect the layered environments we actually inhabit. When multiple signals broadcast in the same physical space, wave dynamics like constructive interference can create complex, fluctuating peaks that single-device testing does not capture. ​My request to the Department is simply to take everyday citizen experiences and the reality of multi-device environments into account when evaluating how wireless technologies fit into our homes, especially in spaces meant for rest. It would be helpful to see more public guidance, balanced research into overlapping field interactions, and practical device options—such as straightforward ways to turn off wireless functions when not in use—so individuals can easily manage their home environments in the way that feels best for them.

I currently life in a residence in line of sitecto 4g, 5g and medical emergency antwnna arrays atop the Kerchikan medical center. It was lowered there a few years ago by military type helicopter. another high telecommunications tower looms across the hoadley creek and on a prominence. My duplex also comes with 2 smart meters and besides wired ethernet thecother rwntal chooses mesh wifi around the clock. we also use copper landline, as it is sluced into the kpu fiber optic unit on the outside. I have informed kpu by mail of my health concern for there forcing a 5g tower upon the neighborhood. please perform a full review of detrimental non native electrical environment that compromises mitochondrial health on a quantum rather than chemical level. research is coming out that implicates cell towers wifis and smart meters with impaired circadian compliance. thank you

The commenter raises concerns about continuous involuntary emissions from appliances and neighborhood dev…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Finally! Europe has been studying this exposure for years. The new Apple product had a higher radiation rate and only after the threat of not allowing their products to be used there, they ended up throttling the waves. Curious right? Now we have appliances sending out signals every minutes 24 hours a day, even if you ‘opt out’ which even after you do, once connected, it’s still sending a signal out looking for a connection. Why would I want a stove to have an app or need to remotely access it? The lights in our neighborhood send wireless signals, the endless home routers, TV’s, the power company meter (you can pay to opt out), cellular, 5G…. All pinging waves 24/7 without our consent or any CURRENT metrics or studies to see what effects it all has on our body cellular health. Even if we go DUMB in our home, as I’ve noted some of the waves around my house, we essentially have no way to opt out. It very well could be contributing to our countries unwellness and cellular foods and die off. It bothers me that Europe is ahead of this. Europe! Certainty we have more resources and moxie than Europe!

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Our son suffers with Electromagnetic hypersensitivity. He is 43, married with two teenage children and has been unable to work for the past five years. His symptoms increased dramatically with the introduction of phone towers and masts around the area he was living and the increase of the number of people using phones in his working life and social life as well as family members. His employers were unable to provide him with suitable working conditions so he had to give up a job he loved. The family moved home to an area they thought was safer but soon phone towers and masts were erected in the surrounding area and the readings coming through the wall of his neighbouring house were very high in his kitchen so he is unable to cook or help with family chores. We helped him financially to have a shielded garden room erected where he can exercise and meditate. His mental health would have suffered severely without it. The effects of electromagnetic frequencies were taking such a toll on his body that he suffered with continual ectopic beats of the heart and would often pass out. He only leaves the home to have respite with friends whose homes have been adapted or our home which has had all WiFi removed. He has very little contact with friends and is unable to attend family functions and social gatherings. The condition has caused a form of grief for him, his wife and children and all his surrounding family, especially his father and myself. Getting help and understanding from professionals has been difficult at best and upsetting and infuriating at it's worse. Our country seems to be way behind other countries in understanding the physical dangers of these frequencies. Good luck with your work on this subject and our best wishes go out to you. Teresa and Jeff Bence

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am living a Nightmare with High Levels on My EMF Detector coming Out from My Walls! I moved into an apartment complex that has high speed internet, cable, phone. Everyone at this complex is forced to pay $60 a month. I only have the phone, I have to unplug when I'm not using it. It came as a package deal with free cell phone service. I have a heavy metals blood work done for the last three years. I have mercy, zinc and cadmium poison in my body. I suffer from headaches and insomnia.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Dear Mr. Secretary, It is with great respect and gratitude that I am writing to you with the following information. I am 54 and have suffered from EMF toxicity since purchasing a condo in my 20s that was 100 yards from a cell phone tower. I personally experience, headaches, body aches, difficulty concentrating and sharp jolts primarily when turning on location services. I have worked for integrative wellness groups who have studied the effects of WIFI at a subatomic cellular level and our biofields since my neck surgery at age 30. I left my career in the auto industry as an Advanced Quality Engineer, Product Designer and Lead Accredited ISO Auditor to work in the integrative wellness field after 10 doctors and neck surgery did not fix my health issues. As a result of working in the integrative field, I have constructed quality management systems that comply with 21 CFR Part 111 and 211. Only until I addressed the WIFI and food did my health begin to shift positively. Future paced, I have been canceled and harassed and bullied after going into my local city council meetings to raise awareness about the hidden effects of WIFI and EMF on our health. I have also had my vehicles tampered with, my computer was hacked and I was given notice to move out of my home (that I lived in almost 10 years) after fighting the cell tower from going up right next to my home and a school. Not to mention other nefarious situations. In an effort to raise awareness, I created the attached website so that people could learn more about the dangers. https://resonancealliance.wordpress.com It is my hope that we can join forces to update the telecommunication standards and test methods to ensure we are safe from wireless technology as well as EMF toxicity. I also know that the 5g and the high speed fiber were launched during the Covid lockdown. We need more transparency regarding the rollout of the new technologies as they have been tied to plagues such as the roll out of sonar and much more. I believe that it is also causing or complicating a rare syndrome affecting my bones that I developed during the rollout of 5g as I am keenly aware of the effects on VGCC blockers. No one should or needs to continue to suffer as there are ways to adjust the technology so as to not affect our bodies on a cellular level. Certain industries do not get a pass on safety standards but others are getting a pass, and the telecommunication industry is one of them. Why? Perhaps it is because energy is difficult to measure and is not a constant, especially with the amount being launched into our stratosphere that is constantly changing. We need new standards in addition to the rights being violated in our airspace. We deserve to vote on this as a planet. Please create a bill to restructure this approval process and implement better integration of alternative principles in healthcare to incorporate cross functional teams. The future of all life forms depends on the immediate swift action regarding the matter. It is time for full transparency. I am compassionate about this subject matter so much so, I would work for your office to assist however possible to help make these amazing technologies be safe for all people and living things in the most bureaucratic way. Thank you for all that you are doing to update our health system in our country. I applaud your efforts and support you all the way. I also knew and worked with Dr. Rashid Buttar and so I do understand at a vast level what is at stake and that many hands are tied. I believe we can organically shift the system so that integrity is intact. Additionally, I have had Senator Kevin McCarthy as speaker at my events that I was an administrator for and so I am capable of high level administration. It is a thankless job being in any Government position and I honor each of you in these roles in government offices. We need more people in these offices that can see both sides and work together. I am in a very excruciating and challenging health and work situation as a result of non transparency in our agencies and health communities. I am ready to do what it takes to help shift this system to one that benefits everyone. A new system that integrates all health practices, traditional, western, eastern and alternative care. I look forward to hearing the next steps of the administration and hope to become active in this mission at your level. I am currently on State temporary disability due to the flair ups from the rare condition. Please contact me at your convenience as I optimistically hope to be part of change for the welfare of all. Thank you again for everything that you are doing for the betterment of mankind. Sincerely, Stacy Dumas 949.357.5733 https://www.linkedin.com/in/stacydumas0414 https://resonancealliance.wordpress.com

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Je soumets ce commentaire en réponse à la demande d'informations du HHS sur les champs électromagnétiques (CEM), les rayonnements radiofréquences (RF) et l'exposition aux rayonnements sans fil. Je réponds en tant que patient mais aussi professionnel de la santé. Je suis touchée par l'effet néfaste des ondes depuis au moins 2 ans, sur mon sommeil mais aussi en journée sur mon lieu de travail, du fait des maux de tête intenses, des vertiges, d'une fatigue énorme en présence des ondes électro magnétiques. J'ai nettement diminué mes symptômes chez moi en éliminant le wifi, l'utilisation du portable, mais je suis gênée encore au travail. Je pense que j'ai été rendue malade en raison des téléphone DECT et du wifi très fort d'une nouvelle box. Je soutiens aussi les enfants dans le cadre de mon travail: je vois l'effet néfaste de ces ondes quand ils subissent le wifi de leur parent ou quand ils utilisent un téléphone portable dès l'âge de 6 ans! Je soutiens l'implication active du Département de la Santé et des Services sociaux (HHS) dans l'examen des effets potentiels des rayonnements sans fil sur la santé et l'environnement. Les questions relatives à la santé humaine devraient être traitées par les agences fédérales possédant l'expertise appropriée en médecine, biologie, épidémiologie et santé publique, et les témoignages des personnes et des familles qui se disent affectées devraient être pris en compte au même titre que les données scientifiques. J’exhorte le HHS à évaluer soigneusement ces expériences et les données scientifiques, à identifier les lacunes de la recherche actuelle, à accorder une attention particulière aux enfants et aux autres populations potentiellement vulnérables, et à établir des priorités de recherche fédérales appropriées concernant les rayonnements sans fil et la santé publique. Merci de donner aux individus et aux familles l'occasion de se faire entendre.....
