I recently lost my closest friend of over 40 years, her untimely death in part due to high EMFs that she could not escape.  Can I prove this?  No. But it is most certain.  For years, she could not go out in public because of the high EMFs – RFs, cell towers, cars emitting painful frequencies, mobile devices, etc.  As much as she tried to avoid the high EMFs, this non-native force took a toll on her body that finally did her in.  \n\nI too know being around wireless technology zaps my mental energy and ability to think well.  \n\nSo, I whole heatedly 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 nd establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health.  Pay particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations who do not have a voice but are deeply affected by this technology.\n\nAnd also consider our pets, wildlife, and plant life, all of which don’t have a voice but are being negatively impacted.\n\nThank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.  \n\nSincerely,\nKaren DeHaven","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6518","tags":["child-development","exposure-places","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"fdbe80f1398e0bf66b930225191ae2bf39d834ec7dafbcdc1413bc62fc605640","slug":"child-development-comment-6518","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6518","body_sha256":"59bcc6309189b69ae97421f471c5f44c90516c8a168eb96b4fa530a2ff81bc10","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"neurological","topics":[{"id":"neurological","evidence":"zaps my mental energy and ability to think well"},{"id":"access","evidence":"she could not go out in public"},{"id":"research","evidence":"establish appropriate federal research priorities"},{"id":"children","evidence":"Pay particular attention to children"},{"id":"environment","evidence":"pets, wildlife, and plant life"}],"summary":"The commenter believes EMF exposure contributed to a friend’s death while acknowledging they cannot prove it, and describes their own cognitive effects near wireless technology.
