{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-5961","number":"5961","name":"Kris Edwards","organization":"","posted":"2026-10-28T04:00Z","received":"2026-10-21T04:00Z","body":"#3:  \n\nI am commenting regarding the FCC's response to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals' remand concerning its decades-old highly outdated radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure guidelines. \n\nThe FCC should fully consider the overwhelming evidence and real-world experiences concerning the health and environmental impacts of wireless radiation, including non-cancer health effects, impacts on children, long-term and cumulative exposure, cancer, and impacts on wildlife and the environment and critically also bees and pollinators that we all rely on for our food!” *A major review by Germany’s NABU and other NGOs analyzed 190 studies, finding that 72 out of 83 scientifically relevant studies reported negative effects of non-ionizing radiation on insects, suggesting EMR acts as a driver of insect decline alongside pesticides and habitat loss.\n\nHere is just one study of many100s I have seen over the years documenting the harmful results of RF Microwave exposure to all biological beings, I believe the FCC and HHS should review: \n\nThe landmark 2018 National Toxicology Program (NTP) study, which provided comprehensive evidence of significant health risks from radiofrequency radiation (RFR). \n-The NTP study demonstrated significantly increased rates of Schwannomas and malignant gliomas (brain cancers), as well as chromosomal DNA damage in rodents exposed to RFR levels mimicking lifetime human exposure. \n−The study is particularly critical for children because their developing bodies absorb higher RF radiation into their brains and bodies during sensitive developmental stages. \n−Research indicates that children’s brains absorb 2-3 times more radiation than adults, and their skull bone marrow absorbs a roughly 10-fold higher local dose, making the NTP’s findings on DNA damage and tumor growth highly relevant to pediatric vulnerability.\n\nThe FCC is not a health agency and does not have expertise in medicine, biology, environmental or public health…\n\nThis issue matters to me deeply because my parents suffered greatly from RF exposures, as well as myself. After moving into a house that had 3 smart meters positioned right outside our bedrooms, we all started having insomnia and low energy. And because we made the grave error of trusting the FCC, and letting the naïve telecom technician install the highly radiating router next to my parent’s bedroom my otherwise vibrant father started to complain of feeling immense fatigue, and having to go to myriad doctors who could not explain this sudden change. \n\nThat is when I began researching what could be the root cause, as I literally was getting from no sleep to an hour or two a night. That is when I discovered others with smart meters were similarly having many health issues. Then I learned about “electrosmog”. I got a Tri-Field meter and took steps to reduce all emfs in/around our house and had PGE remove the smart meters and replace them with analog – which we had to pay to do so as well as pay an extra monthly rate – which is a crime in itself. I also learned that many other states would not let their customers use analog, which is a much worse crime. The day the smart meters were changed out all of our sleep improved drastically. \n\nBeing able to sleep again was a lifesaver. I started unplugging the router at night and during the day I draped a faraday cloth over it to try and mitigate the harmful radiation. Although not ideal, it helped and my dad’s energy returned. At that time I didn’t understand how particularly harmful RF was so when the solar company said we should stop unplugging the router at night, my dad started to feel unwell again. The router was positioned right next do his bedroom and behind him in the den where he also spent a lot of time. He never recovered and devastatingly we lost him within 3 years. I am still trying to forgive myself for allowing the telecom tech to put the router in the worst possible location it could be. \n\nI started to carry the Tri Field meter and test everything. I tossed the microwave oven and noticed the city had allowed a massive 5G tower across the street from my health food store. Standing in the parking lot of that store, I turned on the meter and the dial shot to the max level allowed on the meter! So I do not buy anymore from that store for obvious reasons. There is an apartment complex right below that 5G tower, which is another crime to those unsuspecting residents. And there are no more birds to be seen in the trees in front of that health food store anymore, where they used to hop around looking for treats from the shoppers. The frequency of nature, the Schumann Resonance 7.83 Hz, which includes humans that our bodies have evolved with has suddenly been replaced with unnaturally and recklessly high man made frequencies in the RF Microwave range - 600 MHz – 39 GHz. We are playing with fire here.\n\n","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-5961","tags":["cancer-tumors","child-development","health-experiences","sleep-cognition","biology-metabolism","exposure-places","policy-standards","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"33edbda324d231a2a1b55d22a8ea8d64a1075d3f24dafb76c44b6fb0de825113","slug":"cancer-tumors-comment-5961","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-5961","body_sha256":"60c9304e8ae3d4706909b92ba2562e7ce80a277ceaeb0da1271d394e20ed3cdc","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"research","topics":[{"id":"research","evidence":"s from radiofrequency radiation (RFR). \n-The NTP study demonstrated significantly increased rates of Schwannomas and ma"},{"id":"standards","evidence":"ighly outdated radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure guidelines. \n\nThe FCC should fully consider the overwhelming evidence and r"},{"id":"cancer","evidence":"ificantly increased rates of Schwannomas and malignant gliomas (brain cancers), as well as chromosomal DNA damage in rodents ex"},{"id":"children","evidence":"luding non-cancer health effects, impacts on children, long-term and cumulative exposure, cancer, and impacts on wildl"},{"id":"environment","evidence":"life and the environment and critically also bees and pollinators that we all rely on for our food!” *A major review by Germany’s "},{"id":"smart-meters","evidence":"ouse and had PGE remove the smart meters and replace them with analog – which we had to pay to do so as well as pay an extra monthly r"},{"id":"wifi","evidence":"ecom technician install the highly radiating router next to my parent’s bedroom my otherwise vibrant father started "},{"id":"neurological","evidence":" outside our bedrooms, we all started having insomnia and low energy.
