1. Anonymous. I live in Rhode Island. The website www.RI4SafeTech.org effectively educates the public and decision-makers about EMF/RF: “We envision a world with safe technology. Choosing safer, faster, wired tech avoids wireless harm.” 2. Responding as an individual, patient, and caregiver. 3. I was a stay-at-home dad. In 2009, when we moved to a new home, I checked with my wife, who was amenable to the idea, and installed an Ethernet-only modem for our internet connection, just in case RF radiation could be a health problem for our young children. This connection used ethernet cords and didn’t allow Wi-Fi. We also had to turn off Wi-Fi on our computers to stop the RF radiation. Moreover, we continued to taper off cellphone use, eventually turning them off altogether except for emergencies or to do the occasional inconvenient tasks demanded in a world increasingly commandeered by wireless technology adherents. Additionally, for our landline phone connection, we removed our cordless handset phones and replaced them with corded phones. In 2016, when I had returned to work outside of the home, I began to get health problems which were directly related to Wi-Fi exposure. I could tell the difference between my home environment, without a Wi-Fi modem, and the library, which had a Wi-Fi modem. Here’s what happened. These were not “potential” effects, they were real. I began working at my public library, for 20 hours a week, and started getting many symptoms, including flushing, red ears and hands, heart palpitations, brain fog, dyslexia, headaches (which would build as the day progressed), short-term memory loss, irritability, anger, anxiety, and depression. When I went home, I’d feel much better, except that now I had terrible insomnia even though I was so tired. I’d collapse in sleep for 2 hours, then wake up, unable to sleep. At my wits end at work, I finally realized that what I thought was a smoke detector on the ceiling was the whole-library Wi-Fi access point, just ten feet from where I worked at the Circulation Desk. I could tell the difference between environments highly polluted with radiofrequency radiation and those with less radiation. After doing a…
