individual consumer and patient.

a.

consumer and patient: mobile phones, cell phone towers, smart meters, wireless infrastructure, and wi-fi cause bone paint, joint pain, and tingling effects throughout my body

b.

consumer and patient: In 2004, I built a healthy home with no wi-fi, no smart devices, no smart meter, and other accommodations to achieve full health with no symptoms. When I encounter mobile phones, cell phone towers, smart meters, wireless infrastructure, and wi-fi, I experience immediate symptoms.

c.

consumer and patient: I cannot fully avoid exposures to EMF/RF. I am concerned about long-term health effects such as oxidative stress, bone pain, increased sensitization, and possibly cancer. I am at high risk of breast cancer due to family history.

e.

consumer and patient: diagnosed with electromagnetic hypersensitivity

f.

consumer and patient: Yes, as I state in “b” above, I built a healthy home in 2004 and have no EMF/RF symptoms at all inside my house or on my 3.5 acres in the mountains.

consumer and patient: Federal health agencies need to follow the precautionary principle and only allow technologies to enter human environments that have been proven to be safe. See: Martin L. Pall, “5G: Great risk for EU, U.S. and International Health! Compelling Evidence for Eight Distinct Types of Great Harm Caused by Electromagnetic Field Exposures and the Mechanism that Causes Them”

o.

consumer and patient: see previous resources

p.

consumer and patient: non-thermal impacts need to be further studied and precaution should be applied to allowing consumer products to come to market

6.

consumer and patient: see previous resources

8.

We are exposed to multiple layers of EMF/RF. These multiple layers need to be studied and explored, especially for health impacts such as cancer, insomnia, headaches, fuzzy thinking, sensitization, and more.

9.

all of it should be make public so we can be informed

11.

Yes, absolutely. Please see this article about precursors that might make people more susceptible to harm: Dr. Magda Havas, environmental scientist, “Precursors Need to be Considered to Promote Recovery from Idiopathic Environmental Intolerance–Attributed to Electromagnetic Fields” European Society of Medicine:
