There are a lot of myths out there that will make EMF exposure worse such as earthing or painting entire rooms with a conductive paint that is grounded. This practice creates an antenna for supraharmonics and is responsible for capacitive coupling with the human body. Yet it's promoted by a group called Building Biology. This group is self certified and has been touted as an authority but in reality it's quite the opposite. Unfortunately many people have been harmed. Many comments have revealed this problem as the suffering people are blaming cell phones and WiFi and have not been educated about the most biologically active frequencies radiating from their walls, ceiling, and sometimes floors. To make matters worse they have been taught to attach themselves to them via earthing or grounding.

I believe (I read this on an "EMF Sensitivity" group gage on FaceBook - that the more you are exposed to EMFs. the more sensitive you become to them.

I lived in an apartment where there were 3 WiFi Towers on a next door building (at the level of my apartment. Also the doors in my apartment (100 units)building were all METAL - not sure if that was a contributing factor to my issues.

My eyes, fingers, feet, started to feel "burning".

I bought some copper EMF shield material & tried to stay in areas shielded by that in he apartment.

My issues became so bad that I stayed at a friend's place & moved out as fast as I could forfeiting security deposit.

I have to use plastic laptop (non-metal) otherwise fingers burn. Even using phone too long makes fingers burn.

During Covid, the city where I live, Milwaukee, was very busy installing 5G towers on every corner of every city block around apartment dwellings (None in bougie neighborhoods!) - While most other businesses were on lock down.

I think all the EMFs make people edgy, stressed, can't sleep. can't focus (thoughts) also.

I had to have open heart surgery at 5 years old for heart inflammation which caused a hole in my heart as well as 3 leaking heart valves. I also discovered when I was in my late 30’s that I had elevated prolactin which could keep me from getting pregnant. Also have bad allergies. Those were my pre-existing conditions. In 2019, I went to my cardiologist who said that although I had leaking heart valves, everything was ok, especially since I am able to do hard construction work on a daily basis. I live 1,568 feet from the closest cell tower (see cell tower 3 pic). After 2020, I noticed that my fingertips were burning badly when I was using my Ipad (wifi). Since I used it alot I have a feeling it damaged the nerves in my fingertips or something. After that I had to stop using my Ipad altogether. I now only use a stylus for my non 5G Iphone. What then started happening is that when I toggled the cellular function on and off on my Iphone, I got like a low level shocking feeling which then travelled up and down my body. So now I only use calls over wifi and don't use the cellular function any longer, even when I'm outside of my house. It's terrible for my business because I’m missing lots of calls, but I know these phones are affecting my health badly. After 2020, at least two more cell towers were put up by my house. They are 5,000 feet from my house (see cell tower 2 pic). Besides more antennas being added to the tower that's 1,568 feet and the other two towers, I now have been diagnosed with a heart arrythmia. My hands fall asleep overnight and many times I feel my heart rate is too low. I have to move between sleeping in two different locations in my house because I think the radio waves from home 5G or people's cell phone pass right through my house. I bought an EMF meter but it doesn’t measure the full spectrum of 5G. In addition, so many of my Evergreen trees and my neighbor’s trees have died. You can clearly see parts of trees which have died if you follow a straight path from the cell tower and their electric/gas meters/house. The shrubs in front of my gas/electric meter have died off as well as my beautiful tree branches right in the path. I spoke to an…

In 2012, a technician from Hydro Québec rang at my door and installed a smart meter on the exterior wall at the right of my house. Instantly I got a headache, nausea, vertigo. The during the night I could not sleep completely and feeling "head fog". The day after I was feeling nausea and could not think clearly. I phoned Hydro Québec to ask them ton come to change that meter. I explained how I was feeling and be sick after that installation. They refused. My health continue to decline: I began to have cognitive difficulties like lost of memory and difficulty to find my words to speak. I decided to quit my home and live in my friend's home 6 month, until Hydro Québec accepted to retraet that smart meter for a non communicated one.

In 2014, I had a episode of 3 syncopes after they installed a cell tower at 350 meters of my home.Since then when I go outside I have headache, losing balance of my body, have vertigo and nausea.

When people around me have bluetooth watch I feel heave pain in my stomach, legs and belly then I have nausea.

I lived near where there is a 5g antena, was detected cancer in the head and neck area. , I would get headaches and couldn’t sleep. Thank God I have little over 4 years clear after my last radiation of 33. They can’t explain why I got it or they don’t want to say. I have heard of others that love near those 5g antenas that have also gotten sick

I was living a total "normal life" with a partner and three children, working as a carer in many different homes. Since a young age I had occasionaly migraines and suffered from those, but in 2020 they became very reccurent and so sore to the point where I thought they was blood dripping inside my scalp around my brain. They got so bad that I ended having some ophtalmic migraines followed by hemiplegia migraines. I also have had a few tiny strokes !!! I used to sleep up to 2 hours tops at night no matter what I did. I then realised that my headaches were getting worse in some places I worked at, and not so bad in others. At home it wasn't getting any better. I by miracle (and I say miracle otherwise i'd probably be dead by now) understood that the wireless exposure were the things that made me have EMR Syndrome symptoms just by swtiching my wifi off one night. I started minimising my hours at work and obvisously the work placements therefore I wouldn't suffer as much. I then had to run away from home because even by doing all that, things weren't getting any better as they was a 5G antenna 400 meters away from my house... I had to leave everything, and lost everything just because I was living in a microwave that i never asked for and didn't want to end up burning up like a piece of alluminium in a micro wave. I now live in a safe place with hardly any neighbours, don't go out, don't see anyone unless they switch their wireless equipement off such as mobile phones, connected watch, Bluetooth items etc etc ! All of those things have to stay away from the house I where live now. I sleep in a Faraday cage, and use the strict miminum the electricity. I can't go to the kids school parties, go to weddings, go on holidays, see family etc, all I can do is stay isolated at home, it isn't fair at all as I never asked or even needed all this technology to destroy me and my life. This has to stop as I am sure many people are sufferring around the world and probably being called pshychos when in reality they are far from it.

I am responding to Docket (HHS-OASH-2026-0397) regarding EMFs, RF and wireless radiation.

I responding as a concerned member of the public. I became aware of the dangers of wireless radiation about five years ago. The FCC has not questioned the current RF guidelines in 30 years. During that time we have had rapid expansion of population wide wireless radiation exposure. It is long past time for the FCC or HHS to provide rigorous, independent and transparent research the effects of wireless radiation on humans, especially children.

I urge HHS to carefully evaluate personal experiences and the scientific evidence, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health.

I am EMF sensitive. When smart meters were placed on our home we both were unwell for a few weeks. Please keep 5G away from schools and out of residential neighborhoods. We don't need it harming our health. The EU has much more awareness of the potential dangerous of EMF than in the US. Please curb what the industry is doing.

I suffered incurable insomnia for numerous years. This began when I left for college and we had the new crazy high speed internet in the dorms. I saw Dr after Dr; there was nothing wrong with me. The only thing that worked were narcotic drugs.

Once I chose to mitigate EMF in my home (well over a decade later), with scalar devices (just for general purposes, not to cure anything), my insomnia cured itself in two days.

I was diagnosed with electromagnetic Hypersensitivity about seven years ago. My symptoms were itching. Dry eye. Headaches. Brain fog. I was unable to ride in cars Due to their Dirty energy And exposure to. Wi Fi capabilities. My house Now uses. Incandescent lighting. No wireless capabilities. I use Ethernet to connect to my computer.. People are not allowed to use Their cell phones in the home. I had to give up driving. And all social activities outside the home. Currently I go to. A grocery store once a week for about 15 minutes. I am primarily housebound and have had to give up all. Social activities.

The FCC is using. Research. That took place in the 1990s. And has been. Corrupted by. Technology companies.

I appreciate your looking into this significant problem. As I have had several friends who have had tumors operated on. I currently have a tumor on my. Adrenal gland. It appears to be benign. If you look at the. Research By the government, that costs $25 million years ago. You can see The peer reviewed results. That was done on mice and rats.

Thank you. Sincerely. SHARON. MCWETHY.

I remember my first cell phone. My parents bought it for me when I was in fifth grade. It was a pink Razr Motorola flip phone. Little did I know at the time that a few years later, I would start working for an environmental health non-profit organization on Long Island where I’d learn about the seriously disturbing health effects linked to wireless radiation exposure emitted by devices like cell phones, WiFi routers, and even those big cell towers that we see on highways and near homes across America. On the first day of my internship with the non-profit, the organization’s Executive Director sat me down at the office dining room table and dropped a couple of three-inch binders, each overflowing with paper, right in front of me. The table shook due to the weight of the binders. She told me that every piece of paper in each binder was just a sliver of the scientific literature about the biological effects of wireless radiation exposure. DNA damage. Sperm damage. Oxidative stress. Cancer. The list of terribles went on. My eyes widened. I had been, and continue to be, a health-conscious person. I want a healthy family, and I want to live a long, happy life. It greatly angered me to realize to realize that I had handled wireless devices in a potentially unsafe way -- especially during some of my most important developmental years -- because I just didn’t know better. Before that day in the office, nobody had ever told me that wireless radiation is a health hazard. Where would I have learned such information? From the non-existent warning label on my cell phone? From health class? From the FCC -- a revolving door for telecom lobbyists and former industry insiders? From the media outlets that get their advertising money from Verizon and AT&T and T-Mobile? After years of working in the non-profit sector and learning as much as I could as quickly as I could about the wireless telecommunications industry and the scientifically documented adverse biological impacts of RF radiation, I became a staunch advocate for the responsible and thoughtful placement of wireless telecommunications infrastructure. But that wasn’t enough. I couldn’t just be an advocate. I needed a law…

My biggest fear is that living in a constant smog of EMF will shorten my lifespan. I take care of a Special Needs adult daughter, and she needs me for her quality of life. EMF causes a rise in blood sugar, so it causes people who are borderline diabetic to become diabetic, and it causes those with diabetes to have trouble regulating their blood sugar with diet alone. The explosion of kidney dialysis, I think, is due to 2 factors: EMF on the rise and glyphosate in our food (the number one used pesticide/herbicide in the world). Please see the attached for studies that back up what I'm saying here.
