When holding the laptop in my lap, on my thighs, I get stomach cramps and then diarrhea. This happens consistently. The laptop cannot be touching my body (only finger tips). I needed to take Imodium AD each time to control the diarrhea.

The laptop is now kept as far away form my body as possible and put on airplane mode or wired.

The cell phone cannot be near my head, as it makes me VERY dizzy.

The mobile phone is put on speaker phone and placed on a surface, such as a table or counter top.

As cell phones and computer connections have increased from 3G, then 4G and now 5G - - the symptoms have gotten worse and more intense.

Health conditions I have that may contribute to sensitivity to EMFs including wireless: Primary Immunodeficiency Disease (Common Variable Immunodeficiency)

Health conditions not necessarily associated with my sensitivity to EMFs including wireless, but might be relevant: Migraines and Allergic Asthma

The only thing that seems to help is to avoid the wireless phone and the laptop computer from touching my body.

Carcinogenicity of radio-frequency radiation in the occupational and military setting Prepared jointly by: Elihu Richter, ORCID 0000-0003-3218-7765 Michael Peleg, ORCID 0000-0002-7520-8741 peleg.michael@gmail.com A slightly longer and better formated version is attached as a PDF file. We took part in research reported in the papers in the reference list below. The research provides a strong indication of carcinogenicity of Radio-Frequency Radiation (RFR). The research subjects: Groups of young cancer patients previously exposed to RFR in the military and occupational setting. The exposure: The exposure was from radio communication transmitters, from radar and from electronic warfare. The exposure was repetitive, typically over a year or more. The Israeli Defense Forces exposure levels are guided by the occupational standards set by ICNIRP which allow average power higher by a factor of 5 relative to the ICNIRP recommendations for the general population. Importantly, those standards almost do not limit the peak power of radar pulses provided the average power is within the limits. Power concentrated in strong pulses may be more bioactive as explained in the references. Research methods: The primary information was from the patients; most of them were trained operators, technicians and engineers. For small subgroups of patients, we knew the size of the whole exposed population and thus we were able to estimate cancer Risk Ratios (RR) relative to the general population. For most of the patients the size of the exposed population was not available. Therefore we examined also cancer characteristics since cancer characteristics which are very different from those of cancer patients from the general population indicate an additional carcinogen. We examined Percentage Frequencies (PF) of cancer types and proportion of cancer patients suffering from multiple primaries. The main results: The RRs for cancer in the small subgroups were very high, e.g. 8, and statistically significant. The PF of hematolymphoid cancers was about twice the value in the general population and statistically significant. The two results above are consistent with research results of other…

COMMENT ON SCOPE, AUTHORITY, AND SCIENTIFIC METHODS Formal Request for Transparency This comment raises material issues concerning HHS’s RF/EMF RFI. The notice says responses are voluntary and HHS will not comment on individual submissions. I do not claim HHS must answer each question now. If HHS, or other agencies involved in this RFI (e.g. FCC, and others), later relies on this record for reviewable action, HHS should disclose its basis and address material issues through the applicable process. 1. AUTHORITY. The notice cites “21 CFR subpart J” without a part or section. Give the exact citation and statutory authority. Distinguish research authority (42 U.S.C. § 241; 21 U.S.C. § 360ii) from binding electronic-product performance standards (§ 360kk). For power-frequency fields, consumer products, communications infrastructure, and occupational exposures, identify the authority and intended output. For sources outside “electronic product radiation” under § 360hh(1), identify the separate authority. 2. SCOPE AND LEGAL EFFECT. Will HHS separately evaluate power-frequency fields, consumer RF devices, communications infrastructure, and occupational exposures? Is the intended output research/nonbinding advice or binding requirements? Confirm the RFI itself does not change limits, testing, disclosure, or siting rules and cannot substitute for procedures required for later binding action. 3. CORRECTING QUESTION 6. The RFI asks about effects “caused by current exposure limits.” A limit is a threshold, not an exposure. Does HHS mean effects associated with exposures at or below applicable limits? How will it define exposure/outcome and distinguish measured from estimated exposure and association from causation? 4. REVIEW PROTOCOL. Before synthesizing evidence, will HHS disclose its search sources/dates, inclusion/exclusion criteria, outcomes, screening/extraction methods, and material protocol deviations? If no systematic protocol will be used, how will it guard against selective study inclusion? 5. STUDY QUALITY. What predefined criteria will assess confounding, exposure misclassification, statistical power, multiple comparisons, publication bias, replication, and…

I submit this comment requesting independent scientific investigation, transparent environmental monitoring, and stronger public accountability regarding electromagnetic field (EMF), WIFI, and ELF exposure and its potential effects on human health, cellular function, neurological development, and future generations. The expansion of telecommunications and electrical infrastructure raises legitimate public-health and bioethical questions. Wireless RF radiation and extremely low-frequency (ELF) fields, including 60 Hz power transmission, have distinct physical characteristics and must be evaluated separately, including their potential cumulative and long-term effects. Located on schools, churches and parks. Children are stakeholders, not merely passive recipients of technological development. Their developing nervous systems, cellular processes, and longer potential lifetime exposures warrant specific scientific attention. Pregnancy, fetal development, infancy, and childhood represent critical periods during which environmental influences may have lasting consequences. Human health depends upon cellular homeostasis, mitochondrial bioenergetics, ATP production, DNA integrity, and coordinated neurological signaling. Disruption of these processes can contribute to disease and impaired development. Whether particular environmental EMF exposures adversely affect these mechanisms, and under what conditions, requires rigorous investigation rather than unsupported assumptions of either harm or safety. HHS should prioritize research examining oxidative stress, mitochondrial signaling, membrane potential, cellular repair, neurodevelopment, reproductive outcomes, and potential intergenerational effects. Studies must distinguish correlation from causation and evaluate exposure intensity, frequency, duration, developmental stage, and individual susceptibility. Existing epidemiological research has identified associations between certain residential ELF magnetic-field exposures and childhood leukemia, although a causal relationship remains unestablished. Such findings demonstrate the importance of continued investigation rather than premature dismissal of unresolved…

I am a healthy person in my mid 60s. For the last 10 years, it's been increasingly difficult for me to engage in all the activities I enjoy, due the side effects that Wireless Radiation causes in my body. I am a scientist by training and have repeatedly observed how specific symptoms such as headache, elevated heart rate, increased blood pressure, insomnia, nausea and tingling skin sensations occur when I'm around wifi technology, and then dissipate when I leave wifi laden rooms and buildings. I have modified my home and work environments so there is no wireless radiation or smart devices, only wired connectivity, which produces measurable relief of my symptoms.

The scientific literature on the physiological effects of EMFs and RF goes back to the 1950s when the military first conducted studies, and at this point consists of well over 10,000 published studies. The FCC safety guidelines are antiquated and inadequate, and there's an urgent need for these guidelines to be updated to incorporate scientific findings from recent decades. It is grossly negligent for the FCC to continue with their status quo, and to delay the implementation of more rigorous and accurate guidelines to protect public health.

I am 92 years old and was told about the ill effects of wireless radiation and how it can affect peoples' lives. I now live in Oxford, CT. I am very surprised and concerned that the Oxford, CT schools would allow a cell tower to practically overlook the playground of an elementary school. Not only is there one school near the tower, but there are a total of three schools within about a quarter of a mile from the tower! The radiation from the tower could cause possible damage to the children, teachers, and staff which would impact them later in life.

I think the federal government should regulate the placement of these towers and make sure they are not near any schools.

I was a school teacher for 23 years with the Farmingdale School District on Long Island. I taught fourth and fifth grade. If I was teaching at the school where the cell tower is here in Oxford, I would have protested the placement of the tower in that location.

Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

Thank you to HHS for issuing this RFI. As a 63-year-old with two adult children, I am very concerned about the long-term health effects of wireless radiation exposure.

When I hold a cell phone to my head for longer than five minutes, I begin to develop a headache on the side of my head where I am holding the cellphone. My head and ear also start to feel warm. I’m no doctor, but this can’t be a good sign!

Sometimes it’s hard not to envision a room full of telecom executives cranking out the numbers – we know this product is unsafe, but we’re going to sell it anyway because only some people will die or get cancer and we’ll still make a profit. Very reminiscent of big tobacco!

Please update today’s exposure limits to ensure they reflect the latest science and use patterns of wireless technologies. The FCC has failed on every front to do this, and it’s high time for HHS to pick up the slack.

I attest and affirm under penalty of perjury that the following statements are true, accurate, and within my personal knowledge and understanding. I reside in Alachua County, Florida. I have a Bachelor of Science in Engineering and a Master of Engineering. I have worked in industry at Geneal Electric and in research at the University. I am a Professional Engineer licensed in the state of Florida I am a Building Biology Institute certified Electromagnetic Radiation Specialist. I have always stood for the truth and the right to informed consent in all matters and hold to high ethical standards. I did not consent, nor do I consent today, to the continuous and involuntary exposures to pulsed modulated, biologically active electrical and radiofrequency / microwave (RF/MW) radiation. I previously led a normal, productive life until I was injured and harmed by the electrical and pulsed modulated RF/MW radiation from cell towers, cell phones, Wi-Fi routers, and radios which all utilize pulsed modulated RF/MW radiation for communications. The agent of harm was the RF/MW radiation, I now have Electromagnetic Radiation Syndrome, also known as Radiofrequency Sickness. I developed a rare aggressive cancer, severe intestinal damage and malnutrition, severe pain and pressure in my head, imbalance and coordination issues, resulting in many broken bones and bruises. ` I developed bouts of sudden onset eye pain, short term memory and concentration problems I developed irregular heartbeats when driving near proximity to cell towers. I had to adjust my driving routes to avoid the harmful exposures. I was unable to work as I dealt with my illness and symptoms. I had to navigate as best I could to pinpoint that my health decline was caused by the harmful RF/MW radiation exposures and then how to regain my health and wellbeing. I began to analyze and connect the dots of symptoms and exposures harming me.
