Wi-Fi & indoor exposure

In 1999, I moved close to a pylon whose role I completely ignored. From the very first night, I didn’t sleep a wink. Then it persisted and other debilitating and painful symptoms arrived. I ended up finding out what this pylon was used for and I learned that it was a variety of transmitters: France television, the beginning of mobile telephony in France, microwave links and FM radio. At the time, I was working as a computer scientist at the CNES in Toulouse and a neighboring colleague who specialized in satellites and therefore their protection against electromagnetic fields alerted me to leave in order to preserve my health. That’s what she was doing on her end by selling her house to flee the neighborhood. Despite his advice and the discovery of many patients with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s in the environment of transmitters, I had lost all discernment and ability to react. It must be said that these were pollution emitters in Toulouse (France) for which professional measures requested by sick residents had revealed levels of high frequencies up to 20 volts at the foot of homes. Finally, after years of fighting, these emitters were dismantled due to extreme emissions. The neighborhood was a cluster of neurodegenerative diseases and others...? Following my years under the pylon, I first lost sleep, felt permanent agitation, and developed fluctuating symptoms like multiple sclerosis, such as blurred vision, paraesthesia, temporary loss of motor skills after heavy exposure, headaches, oppressions, nausea, chronic fatigue, concentration problems with confusion, pins and needles, loss of perception of body sensations and obstacles etc. I am passing on this whole long and painful period where my whole world has collapsed. It took me a long time (years) to realize that I had to mourn a normal life. I was able to regain better condition thanks to anti-wave canopies for sleeping and protecting my living space, where I am the most permeable and vulnerable to waves. To limit my exposure, in order to best maintain my intellectual and physical faculties, I must drastically limit my exposures. I can no longer work, so my income and social life are significantly altered. For these reasons, I receive a small disability pension related to the consequences of my intolerance to almost all electromagnetic fields. I am particularly affected by WIFI frequencies, all types of high frequencies, and power lines that disrupt the 50 Hertz network (all boxes, Enédis smart meters in France). Currently, it is complicated, even with the best protections, to avoid the multiplicity of connected objects in the neighborhood that fit everywhere, including under two layers of canopy for certain technologies such as Wi-Fi boxes and CPL in France, which sometimes use the earth from the electrical network to connect to the earthing system, I don’t understand why these connected tools do not remain within the framework of their home or professional network by using two-way wireless instead of constantly watering several meters away. There would also be the possibility of mapping one’s environment and limiting oneself to it. Today I no longer have access to much, and I am concerned about the proliferation of these antennas and devices connected via WiFi and Bluetooth, which for some no longer offer the option of deactivation. Accessing healthcare in a hospital setting is very complicated for people with my disability. For important care, it is torture that adds to an already difficult situation. I am doing my best today to survive with resilience, hoping to find myself a healthy and low-exposed place. I have been searching for years because the equation is very complicated. In the meantime, I want to avoid suffering too much as much as possible so that I can stay at peace regardless of the outcome.

My family is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation (EMR) and are unfortunately exposed to more and more EMR every time we go to town. 5G cell towers are popping up everywhere and the march of smart gadgets are hard to avoid. I personally get severe headaches when I’m near WIFI for any length of time. We have to pay our electric company extra every month to avoid having a smart meter placed outside our bedroom. The corporate push to use EMR in all aspects of our daily lives is literally killing us and needs to be regulated through new independent scientific studies overseen by reputable non-profits like the Environmental Health Trust. Why has HHS not conducted regular safety studies on new cell phones using 5G and 6G? We know that 2G-4G negatively impacted rat health in laboratory studies. The evidence is there but the public continues to be misled and unprotected by irresponsible corporate greed. Lawsuits are overdue on the subject of human EMR exposure! We trust HSS will serve the public good and do the right thing in regulating EMR in the near future. Thank you

I had to go to the emergency room back in 2019 right after my vacation. The first day I ever encountered five g wireless in a home at an air bnb rental in Florida. I asked the emergency room if they had seen this before from sensitivities. My skin opened up with ulcers all up and down my legs, and my belly button had a softball sized lump that exploded with pus. Ive since learned to cope but I see my children now affected im having to disconnect the modeum as much as possible and moved away from the city. Its terrible I pray for those making the wrong decisions for our planet to step up now before its too late.

I’d like to comment about the Wi-Fi towers or whatever they are. They definitely block both of my ears if I’m in a place of business that has a strong Wi-Fi my ears will also plug sometimes it takes over an hour to calm down. I’d be more than happy to be studied because it is truly a real thing. …not very fun and clearly just getting worse with more of the towers going up. Thank you for your time.

2. Individual consumer 3. a. Wi-Fi, wireless infrastructure (both 4th and 5th generation). b. Indoors, invariable with brief intermission. f. Commercially available silver fabric enclosure, including grounding wire, sufficient to fully attenuate 99 percent of 5G type band radio frequencies received by my body. I used this device by sleeping inside on a nightly basis for seven days. Noted consistent effects on mental state within five minutes, including profound relative clarity, calm and ease. Effects on sleep quality including consistent elevated mood and improved energy persisting through the following day, sleep duration required to perceive being fully rested consistently timed to be reduced from eight hours per night over the previous seven days to seven hours per night. g. Trifield EMF meter model TF2 used to measure electromagnetic frequency exposure for my location kept consistent within two feet of measurement during the seven days of using of the silver fabric enclosure. Taking several measurements: radio frequency was within 40-113 mW/m^2 with the majority of the measurements near the mean. Magnetic field strength was likewise measured and read consistently 0.1 and 0.2 weighted for high frequency mG. AC electric field strength was likewise measured and read consistently 0 and 0 weighted V/m.

We don’t know enough about the harm of our technology and we must be better informed as we roll out our digital future at a break neck pace. Certainly people should have the right to opt out for free from smart meters. We may live in a capitalistic society but after all this is supposed to be a democracy for the people who you serve as public servants- not corporations and billionaires and energy companies. Please do your due diligence in fully studying the impact on human health and environment from wifi, cell towers, cell signals, smart meters , data centers, etc. Thank you

In July 2023, I was admitted to ER and overnight to the hospital for heart issues. Then spent two days having Multiple tests were run with no conclusive evidence of any heart Trouble! I was sent home and had my two smart meters on my property removed and then a month later ended up wearing a heart monitor for three weeks journaled everything and recorded every time my heart acted up and what I was doing and discovered I could not spend more than 45 minutes at a time on my wireless laptop without giving me palpitations and creating arrhythmia and chest pain pains! It was quite an eye opener. Of course, the journal entries were highly edited and showed NO correlation!?! Three months later, I saw the top southern Oregon cardiologist. Except for some unusual EKGs and all the rest of the tests were inconclusive, the Doctor asked me, what I thought the issue was - so I shared, that I felt the cause of my cardiac issues was EMF exposure. His comment and I quote “I’m not ‘allowed’ to discuss that with patients.”. I asked him why, and he would not explain the censorship. (I was shocked!) Although he did say that “ I would never use my cell phone next to my brain because I don’t want brain cancer.” AND he does not carry it in his hip pocket next to “his boys” because he doesn’t want prostate cancer! So obviously, he believes that EMF is causing cancers, but he’s not allowed to talk about cardiac problems!?! Prior to my experience, my husband has had cardiac problems ever since smart meters were attached to our home. Once they were removed here in Oregon he no longer has cardiac issues! September 20, 2026 I travel to Oroville, California and was in town less than 24 hours before I had to leave because I started having cardiac issues; palpitations, arrhythmia, shortness of breath and chest pains, so once again EMF is the culprit because I was in a large city with lots of EMF and undoubtedly 5G. Once out away from the city symptoms reduced enough for me to travel home! LIVESTOCK AND PETS All our farm animals have also been exposed to long-term EMF. Once the smart meters were installed in 2015 the 80 lb mixed breed dog developed systemic lupus, and inflammation all over her body so she could barely walk and she was only two years old. The older second 45 lb dog, became aggressive and developed fatty tumors on her body. Now in Oregon two puppies we adopted, both have severe allergies and something is accentuating unknown congenital disorders. The 17 year-old Horse developed melanoma cancer all over his body. Tumors are so large it’s impeding his movements. The 13-year-old wild Mustang developed diabetes and is developing tumors. None of this is not normal nor is it coincidental. The water has been tested at both residential locations. Their feed has been tested and of course, none of them eat the same thing, so it’s not the feed or water. I believe it’s long-term exposure to the EMF. Our cattle also have congenital health issues here. The bull died of unexplained issues and he was a little over two years old. Since removing the smart meter that was attached to their Barn, we have no longer had detectable health issues. THE INSIDE CAT - weight 10 lbs Would have tremors all day long before we remove the smart meters. ONE DAY I WATCHED A TREMOR COMPLETELY, KNOCK HER OFF THE COUCH AND SHE HIT THE FLOOR WITH A HUGE CRY OF SHOCK AND PAIN! Once the first meter was removed, WITHIN 48 HOURS, THE TREMORS BEGAN TO REDUCE DAILY IN SEVERITY AND NUMBER!! TWO WEEKS AFTER BOTH METERS WERE REMOVED SHE NO LONGER HAD TREMORS!!! I know this is all observational and empirical data, but all the biological symptoms, whether it was human or animal, have reduced or completely dissipated with the removal of the smart meters and our constant management of wireless devices; being turned off when not in use or kept away from all of us. Not being able to travel to large towns or cities to visit family and friends because of the impacts has gotten ridiculous. The effects are real. I had a journal that documents it. I had tests that show the periods. My prayer is that the FCC will finally listen to the American people and understand the effects are real, and you’re supposed to protect AMERICANS from this industry you’re regulating. The broadband infrastructure that was supposed to connect us to the rest of the US, never made it to our neighborhood thus, I’m stuck using wireless technology. I beg you, please give meaningful consideration to the experiences and evidence that the public is providing and fully address each issues identified by the court. We cannot continue to live this way. There is so much new research that has been done around the world, documenting what’s happening. I hope that you will finally look at the new data, especially “Bio initiative 2012” and “Updated research summaries from May 2022” Thank you for this opportunity to comment.

& 2. an individual 3a. Type of wireless or RF/EMF sources involved (e.g., mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters…)Mobile phones, wi-fi routers, smart meters, cell towers, cordless telephones 3b. Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years):22 years 3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced:Headaches, insomnia, pain in brain, irritability, fatigue, brain fog, concentration, personality/mood, general "happiness" disappears, depression or anxiety like symptoms. 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:Adverse affects with each exposure to close proximety to cell tower. Then wi-fi, cell phones, cordless phones, computers and routers. Basically anything with radio frequency. The effects are immefiate sometimes. Other times, the effects are cumulative and symptoms increase gradually over time, such as over two hours. 3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis?I did seek medical treatment with the cell tower exposure, but at the time I did not know it was the cell tower causing severe symptoms. Doctor just "trialed" thyroid medication due to fatigue. However the blood tests did not show thyroid dysfunction. 3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects?Yes and symptoms resolved. 3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information:I have Scientic Reports that also support the ill health affects of RF. I have dozens of reports from specialists. 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:My life has been profoundly negatively affected by radio frequency radiation (RF). I have been disabled by it. I can no longer comfortably stay in hotels, travel, or stay with friends who will not turn off wi-fi or cell phones. B1a. Sources you experience as causing you Adverse Effects:Wi-fi, cell phones/towers, smart meters, anything "smart" or TV's, tv antaennas. I notice combining several devices cause symptoms to be worse. B1b. Sources you can sense, but don't seem to harm you:Dirty electricity (DE) more than RF, but it does harm me the same as RF radiation. However, this is easier to mitigate with a Stetzer filter that brings significant relief. B1c. Sources you can use without sensing or being harmed:Landline phones, all electric devices that use simple electricity and are not "electronics". These include things like mixers, toasters made before "energy efficiency". B1d. Sources that seem to provide benefit (i.e., electrotherapy):Stetzer filters for DE, unplugging devices. An area of investigation is "How poor underground electric power grid lines can affect sensitivity to radio frequency radiation". I was exposed to improperly grounded and under-sized power lines and bad transformers. This increased symptoms to RF. After the power lines and transformers were replaced and grounded, my RF symptoms were dramatically reduced. Not gone, but 80% better!!! LiFE CHANGING!! Bad power lines produce massive RF and/or dirty electricity. B2a. Health conditions you think may contribute to your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless:Insomnia, chronic fatigue, mood disorder, cognitive impairments, brain fog, irritability. B2b. Health conditions you don't necessarily associate with your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless, but might be relevant:ME/CFS, mold exposure, heavy metal levels, viral loads 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:Correcting underground (or overhead) utility power lines to be properly sized and properly grounded is IMPERATIVE if this is an issue in your residence. Ensure there are absolutely no voltage in the earth around your home. You cannot depend on the power company to measure this. Hiring contractor specializing in EMF. Use Stetzer filters for DE. Shield wi-fi routers and smart meters. Phone in airplane mode. B3b. That you recommend, but you’re not positive that they help:Hrmonizers. B3c. That helped you but you don’t recommend. (e.g., the benefit did not last long or the side effects were too harmful):Supplements. B3d. Treatments that had no effect:Electro-therapy, ultrasound, electric sauna, anything electrically therapeutic. B3e. Treatments that made your sensitivity worse:65-74 B4. What is your age range?65-74 B5. What year did you become aware of your sensitivity to wireless radiation or electromagnetic fields?2006 B6. What country, state, province, or major city were you living in when you first noticed your sensitivity to wireless or electromagnetic fields?Washington DC, Indiana

Question 2: I am responding as an individual consumer, a mother, and a member of a household where both adults work from home. I am not a scientist or medical professional. My comments are based on my own experience. My husband has submitted a separate response describing his own experience and measurements. Question 3: From 2022 to 2024 we lived about 400 metres from a mobile phone base station that carried 5G. My husband’s meter readings outdoors facing the mast were much higher than at our current home. Our house also had a lot of wireless technology, including Wi-Fi, several smart speakers, and wireless smart lights, switches and sensors. I worked from home, using my mobile phone regularly, with my desk beside our Wi-Fi router for most of the working day. While living there I had two miscarriages. I also developed tinnitus, anxiety, pressure in my head and difficulty sleeping. When we became aware of possible risks, we removed all the wireless devices from the house after both miscarriages, and in late 2024 we moved to a home further from base stations, where we do not use Wi-Fi and indoor readings are very low. My symptoms went away completely after the move. We conceived without difficulty and I have had a successful pregnancy. In late 2025 my symptoms returned. Only afterwards did we notice that a nearby base station had been rebuilt taller, with six new antennas; the operator has since confirmed the site runs 5G. By late 2026 my symptoms had become unbearable. We now sleep inside a shielding canopy over the bed, and we have fitted shielding to our windows. I understand that miscarriage is common and has many causes, and that other things in our lives changed when we moved. I am not claiming that wireless exposure caused my losses or my symptoms, and I know my observations are not blinded. Some research exists on exposure in pregnancy, including mobile phone use and living near base stations. That gap is why I am writing. Question 11: Pregnant women and unborn children should be a priority population in research and exposure guidance. Simple advice, such as keeping routers away from where people sit for long periods and limiting wireless devices in the home, costs nothing and could be given now. Question 16: I would like independent, publicly funded research into reproductive outcomes, including miscarriage and fertility, in relation to everyday combined exposure at home and at work, using measured exposure rather than estimates based on phone use. Question 18: I am concerned about how quickly new wireless technologies are being installed outdoors and inside buildings, including Wi-Fi throughout schools, where children spend most of their day and have no choice about their exposure. Reviews commissioned by the World Health Organization found very little research on long-term exposure and cognition in children, and one Swiss study of adolescents found an association between mobile phone exposure to the head and poorer memory development, which the authors say needs confirming. I recommend that new technologies and frequency bands are independently assessed for health effects before widespread rollout, and that schools follow France’s approach since 2015: no Wi-Fi in spaces for children under three, Wi-Fi switched off in primary schools when not needed for teaching, and parents told before new wireless equipment is installed. All information in this response is from my own experience and is not peer-reviewed research.
