Original comment · unedited text

I believe I was affected by EMF in 2020 when a 5G tower was turned on in October of that year. I was affected by having my first POTS flair. I had been living with Bluetooth speakers, WiFi around the clock and cell phone radiation before this without a problem. I was extremely sick after they turn in the tower. . I was weak, having neurological symptoms , gastrointestinal symptoms , AFib with RVR and many other symptoms. I left the house and stayed with a friend two blocks away, since the tower was placed 60 feet from my home, to see if that would make a difference in my recovery. 5 days later I was able to stand and walk around the house. I had been bed bound before due to weakness. Then returned after two weeks to my home to gather things and within 30 min I could feel the energy begin to be depleted again. I left the house after 30 min and it took another 2 days to recover. I eventually moved back home where there were no 5G towers isolated myself in a homemade faiday room for 6 months and was able to return to normal life again. This forced me out of my home, into a friends, then later to another state for my healths sake. I was formal diagnosed with A MD in Santa monica with EMF sensitivity from tower.

I am extremely sensitive to EMFs and will never use a 5 G phone. I wear blocking devices as to not harm my body any further and will not go thru airport scanning devices either. The government needs to protect us from harmful EMFs. Between EMS, radiation from medical testing controls need to be put in place and citizens need to be informed.

Those with a sensitive nervous system as well as being exposed to EMF’s are susceptible to undesirable side effects such as; elevated heart rate, anxiety, headaches insomnia and difficulty concentrating. With the increase in Lyme disease, mold sickness and even Covid many are unfortunately more and more vulnerable. Studies and knowledge should be explored and is necessary not only for our future but for our children and grandchildren.

Hello H.H.S., I am pleased to correspond with you. On the matter of E.M.F.

exposure and particularly the roll-out of technology such as 5-G, I certainly want to be informed and have opportunity to consent or not, as a citizen, to the type and level of exposure I can expect from such systems. The rapid deployment of 5-G without the ability to have informed consent, which is like mandated policies during the Covid situation, is not safe and acceptable.

Even without encyclopedic knowledge I am aware and very respectful of the reality that our bodies function with varied, subtle, and delicately balanced electro-magnetic systems. Therefore it seems obvious for our healthy functioning to guard against exposures tending to disrupt these balances to our healthy states. Like the fact that effects from vaccines can not be qualified without long term studies on them, the effects to health by E.M.F."s need thorough examination before people are affected by them. I look forward to learning from the efforts being made at H.H.S. to gather information and understanding of systems which can be greatly affecting our well-being.

Thank you, Mark Hofmann

We were all healthier before this stuff started.

Many of us get very sick when exposed to these things

They’ve already proven the fact that mold and bacteria gross 600 times faster when exposed to EMF’S. It’s making so many diseases worse than what they already were especially for children and elderly. Disease and sicknesses that were barely heard of years ago now running at outrageously high rate. We need to save our people and our children and lower these things as much as possible as soon as possible.

Sayer Ji quotes 1009 studies -- ignored by media, politicians and the medical professions alike -- that show the harm to human life, especially to vulnerable children, our future. There is no justifiable reason to roll out the next 6G etc. generation of cell towers when Elon Musk has announced that the technology for satellite phones for everyone is within sight.

We, as humans, are exposed everywhere we go to the “WiFi Soup” surrounding us. We can’t go on a cruise, an airplane, a grocery store-anyplace- without exposure to electromagnetic radiation. Babies are conceived under WiFi, and born under WiFi. For we who are sensitive, heavy electro radiation frequencies feel like a tight stab in our chests. We can counteract and get some relief from the damage by grounding mats, walking on the earth or sand. I’ve known about these dangers since 2012, and it’s still barely even known about by your average person. Please, let’s create federal laws around this, and not bow down to the greed of major corporations that profit from using these dangerous electromagnetic frequencies that affect our health. M.

This is in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. It is shocking that with how much wireless technology and infrastructure have increased dramatically in recent years, the FCC has not updated its RF exposure guidelines since 1996! This is unacceptable in the United States of America.

As a parent who has witnessed the negative impacts of wireless exposure on my children, I urge HHS to take a more proactive role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Urgent and honest science needs to be done on this issue, with no increases in exposure levels allowed until it is determined that the current levels are even safe.

Thank you for allowing me to be heard.

Phones are awful - my hands ache and itch if holding an iPhone. If plugged in the problem is off the charts. The symptoms do NOT stay local to the hand and will present in other arts of the body.

As an anecdote I was taking long trips each week and would tend to hold my phone while driving. I would inevitably end up with dull pain in my groin. I tried to remedy thinking it was a possible UTI will no progress. It took a couple of months to determine cause as the symptoms seems to come and go.

Now it’s evident and obvious that phones are the cause!

Lastly, traveling past 5G towers cause noticeable head aches that disappear as you get further away.

Shocked our society allows for these technologies with these known issues. I’m convinced many peoples supposed “health” issues are just symptoms of RF exposure. I’m very sensitive physically to external stimuli and this is so very obvious. Please do research and expose this for it’s detrimental effects.

I am writing to express my serious concerns about the increasing exposure to radiofrequency (RF) radiation from cell towers, particularly in residential neighborhoods and near homes where families and children spend much of their time. I have personally experienced sleep disturbances, difficulty getting restful sleep, and negative effects on my overall physical well-being that I am concerned may be associated with exposure to nearby wireless infrastructure. I believe the potential long-term health consequences of continuous, involuntary exposure deserve much greater investigation. I am so concerned about wireless radiation exposure that I even make an effort to turn off my own Wi-Fi router, particularly at night, to reduce unnecessary exposure while my family sleeps. I believe individuals should have the ability to make these decisions within their own homes. However, regardless of the precautions I take, I have no control over the radiation emitted by nearby cell towers and other wireless infrastructure. This is particularly frustrating because I can take reasonable steps to limit exposure from devices inside my home, yet I cannot meaningfully control exposure originating outside my property. Unlike personal electronic devices, cell towers transmit RF signals around the clock, often without residents having any meaningful choice or control over their exposure. I strongly urge the Department of Health and Human Services to conduct additional independent, long-term research into the potential effects of chronic RF exposure, particularly regarding sleep quality, neurological function, children’s development, and overall health. I also believe stronger transparency requirements, independent exposure monitoring, and greater consideration of residential proximity should be incorporated into policies governing cell tower placement. The absence of conclusive evidence of harm should not automatically be treated as proof that long-term exposure is entirely without risk. Families deserve thorough, unbiased research and reasonable safeguards, especially when exposure is involuntary. My greatest concern is that I am actively trying to create a healthier sleeping…
