I had severe dry eyes, insomnia, fast heart beat, irregular heart beat, high blood pressure, multiple pulmonary embolisms ,flaming red skin on cheeks, increasingly difficulty with memory, word retrieval and very foggy brain among other things.  \nWe metered our home and removed all sources of wireless while keeping technology through hard wired connections.  My health drastically improved immediately. Also, a plant that sat in our kitchen window for one year suddenly grew 15 inches in two months.  That's when others paid attention. It was clearly not just me but I feel the impact from it.  The plant just survived and now was thriving. My doctor referred to me as \"the canary in the coal mine\".\nI contacted officials and one state rep of my district listened and wrote NH HB522 in 2019.  That bill passed and became the first in the nation to investigate the health effects from wireless and the importance of education on simple things to do to make technology safer.\nHowever, any effort to educate the public and legislate safe protections for  citizens has been squashed politically.  It's not right.  \nWireless is everywhere, buses, planes, cars, restaurants, hotels, schools, cities, hospitals, you name it.  It makes it nearly impossible to live a \"normal\" life for those like myself who are not seen.  Our children and grandchildren are the first to live their entire lives engulfed in this wireless toxin.  It's unconscionable that we do not protect our children.  We all need technology today but we do NOT need it propagated to the extent that it is without any option to avoid it, other than to remain in our homes...and that is if you are fortunate enough to not have a cell tower or a 5g tower near your home.  Thankfully, I am retired as working in that environment would be impossible for me.\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":["https://downloads.regulations.gov/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-0891/attachment_1.pdf"],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-0891","tags":["child-development","health-experiences","sleep-cognition","exposure-places","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"cf4d03a1c08706fff014d836fd51e9a3bca823bed4160ef4627ba306bdfc60e9","slug":"child-development-comment-0891","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-0891","body_sha256":"a8ff5dc39f870d8f3c5d6b81a7fd6a91829598a7e47a8dec261389a2f7882a65","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"research","topics":[{"id":"research","evidence":"ticular 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 w"},{"id":"neurological","evidence":"which were assumed as a result of aging or unexplained.
