Requests investigation of a son’s neurological and possible cardiac events, acknowledges uncertain causat…

Public Comment to HHS on RF/Wireless Radiation To the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), My name is Lisa Hildwine, and I am submitting this public comment to urge HHS to urgently and independently evaluate the potential adverse health and environmental effects of radiofrequency (RF) radiation, commonly referred to as wireless radiation. I appreciate HHS opening this comment period and taking a leadership role in an issue that directly affects public health. For too long, the health questions surrounding RF exposure have been treated primarily as a communications issue. In my view, this is not only about technology and spectrum management—it is about medicine, biology, neurology, cardiology, and public health, and it requires HHS-level attention. Family health impacts and why I am concerned I am writing as a family member who has witnessed severe and escalating medical and neurological events that I believe warrant urgent investigation for possible links to RF/wireless exposure. Beginning in 2017, my son experienced serious health and neurological changes across multiple settings including home, jail, and hospital. These concerns worsened significantly in 2026. In 2026, my son had ER visits and inpatient diagnostics at two hospitals (September 2026). During this period, there were events consistent with severe neurological compromise, including stroke-like symptoms and behavior that was profoundly out of character for him. There were also concerns for a possible cardiac event. Additionally, a traumatic brain injury (TBI) was documented on MRI, without any known external physical incident that would explain the injury. I understand that a personal experience does not prove causation. However, I also know that public health agencies have a duty to investigate credible reports and patterns—especially when exposures are widespread, increasing, and often unavoidable. Targeting, harassment, and the need to evaluate real-world exposure conditions I also have documented concerns about harassment and targeting beginning in 2016. I am asking HHS to recognize that “real-world exposure” is not always a simple consumer-choice scenario. Some individuals may face conditions that involve coercion, abuse, surveillance technologies, and an inability to escape exposure, particularly when they are in controlled environments. High-risk populations: incarcerated people and trafficked individuals I am especially concerned about populations who have little to no ability to reduce RF exposure or leave the environment, including: Incarcerated people Trafficked individuals and others under coercive control These groups may face higher exposure, limited medical advocacy, barriers to documentation, and reduced access to independent evaluation. If RF/wireless exposure can contribute to neurological or cardiovascular events, then these populations may be disproportionately harmed and least able to be protected. Additional note: congressional request for documentation I also note that Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (Florida’s 13th District) has requested that I submit documentation regarding these concerns. I am including this statement here to underscore that these issues are being raised not only by individual families, but also through constituent communications with elected officials. Closing Thank you for the opportunity to comment. I urge HHS to approach RF/wireless radiation as a public health issue requiring urgency, scientific integrity, and compassion for families reporting harm. People need health agencies to listen, investigate, and act. Sincerely, Lisa Hildwine Tampa, Florida 808-398-8670
