I have been on a detox journey of health for 9 years, having experienced cancer personally and being a caregiver for parents as well. Wireless radiation does impact our health and we know so little about the long term impact. Our current physical world and food and environment have all become toxic so that we generally accept disease as \"normal\" - but it doesn't have to be this way. \nAs we have worked at detoxing our bodies, we limit the time on our phones, store them in another room so that we can have deeper sleep. It is noticeable when we don't - brain fog, for one. \nI believe this topic of wireless radiation needs to be independently assessed with the perspective of maximizing the health of our population, not to harm. If the agenda is anything else, we will be treated as consumers of whatever products that are designed to manage our symptoms, instead of end them. \n\nI support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence.\n\nI urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health.\n\nThank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-0096","tags":["cancer-tumors","child-development","health-experiences","sleep-cognition","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"f838112050c1ce7713c15cd84a2e4fa9e0f11f1afef74c98da504e3a2ba7b8c8","slug":"cancer-tumors-comment-0096","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-0096","body_sha256":"cce0a0891d51ed3db00fe56357efe65a64c10a61bf9ceef63d933c11d9d80380","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"cancer","topics":[{"id":"cancer","evidence":"extended family.
