ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding from the perspective of how my family are affected. I have a son with special needs that I care for and when he is near wifi in someone's home he gets anxiety and feels wierd in his head. Also feels off balance. My husband also feels anxious when around cell phones and wifi and gets heart palpitations from these things. I myself get wierd feeling in my face when near wifi and cell phones. Because of this we feel stuck because everyone has wifi in there homes and at least 1 or more cell phones in there homes. I 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. I 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. Thank you for providing individuals, families, health care providers, researchers and scientists with an opportunity to be finally be heard on this critical public health issue.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding as a parent and concerned member of the public. As a parent, I am increasingly concerned about the amount of wireless radiation exposure that my family and children experience in everyday life. Since the introduction and increased availability of 5G technology, I have personally experienced frequent heart palpitations and episodes of dizziness that have been concerning and disruptive to my daily life. I cannot say with certainty what is causing these symptoms, but the timing and the increasing prevalence of wireless technology have led me to have questions about whether environmental exposures, including wireless radiation, deserve further investigation. My greatest concern is for my child and for children more broadly. Children are exposed to wireless devices, Wi-Fi, cellular networks, and other sources of RF radiation from a very young age, often throughout the entire day. As a parent, it is difficult to know what the potential long-term implications may be when there are still unanswered questions about cumulative exposure and the effects of prolonged exposure over a lifetime. I believe families deserve clear, unbiased, evidence-based information about these exposures and any potential health implications. I also believe that people who report experiencing symptoms or other health concerns should not simply be dismissed. Their experiences should be considered alongside rigorous scientific research so that we can better understand what is known, what remains uncertain, and where additional research is needed. I 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. I urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, and give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations. I also encourage HHS to establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation, cumulative exposure, and public health so that parents and families can make informed decisions about how to protect themselves and their children. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard and for considering the concerns of parents and members of the public.

Reports longstanding EHS with arrhythmias, weakness, migraines and tinnitus and fears of increasing isola…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Re: RFI Docket response on EMF & EMR comments Re: FCC’s failure to set safe guidelines for EMR exposure. This includes cell phones, all ‘Smart’ devices including smart meters, cell towers, cell repeating units, WIFI in buildings, outside WIFI repeaters, automobile EMR emitting devices, etc. The FCC or any agency that sets safety standards for all these devices need to do thorough scientific studies, but in the meantime, they must mitigate the levels of EMR from ALL devices. Re-tooling is required, no doubt, but it’s the FCC’s fault for allowing the level of EMR being emitted from the start. When cell phones first came out, the telecom industry warned its shareholders that they may be sued for injuries from people who were harmed by the devices. They never warned the customers buying the phones! This is blatant disregard for human health and safety. I have had EHS (also called EMR Syndrome) for over 12 years, all due to the exponential rollout of cell phones/towers, WIFI, and Smart Meters. My life went from normal to very ill in a short period of time. It took me a while to find out it was EHS. When exposed to EMR, I experience heart arrhythmias, an allover weak feeling, my legs feel very heavy suddenly (almost always a Smart Meter for that symptom), migraines, tinnitus, and sometimes stinging of the skin depending upon the level of EMR. If I don’t get away from the exposure quickly, I feel like I’ll pass out. I purchased a Safe & Sound Pro 2 EMF meter to discover where it is safe for me (lower EMF’s). The meter is certified and calibrated, and I can confirm that there are hardly any places left where the levels are truly safe. The safety standard I use is OSHA Standard for EMF exposure for Telecom workers: https://cwa-union.org/sites/default/files/osh-fact-sheet-16-microwave_and_radio_frequency_radiation.pdf 10 mW/cm(2) (milliwatt hour per square centimeter) for periods of 0.1 hour or more. Literally, I have NEVER found readings that are that low except deep in the woods away from homes, towers, and industry. All readings are higher. Smart Meters have been mostly 22,000 mW/sqMeter(intermittently). A parking lot near us presents readings between 12,000 to 1 Million mW/sqMeter! People are being bathed in this excessive exposure every time they go to that shopping center. Cancer, heart issues, brain issues, etc. - all are side effects of this deleterious exposure. It’s just a matter of time…. Day after day, people are dying from all the diseases caused by EMR. We have a dear friend who has brain cancer from holding the cellphone near their ear. Schools that have cell towers near them have been encountering students with cancer; some actually have died! It’s a fact that Autism rates have climbed at the same time EMR exposure has climbed. Pregnant women holding their cellphones on their belly are not warned against this, which is criminal, in my opinion. The FCC was ordered by the Court to re-evaluate safe exposure limits for EMR, and they have blatantly avoided doing so. They know exposure levels are WAY too high now and would be lying if they described a high level as safe, so they’re simply avoiding doing what they were ordered to do. The FCC is a captured agency and the people allowing the exposures from cellphones, towers, etc. need to be fired. People with morals need to replace these ‘officials’. If 5G is put up in the area where I live, I could end up living in my basement and never be able to go out again. It would be like being in prison. Is this what the telecom industry wants? Is this what the FCC wants? Is this what HHS wants? There are tens of thousands of people suffering with EHS in dozens of support groups (mostly on social media) communicating around the planet. They are all desperate for relief from this deadly exposure. If you question these principles of exposure, just look into the “Havana Syndrome”. This is a well-documented illness caused by high levels of EMR. It’s time for our government to wake up and stop ignoring this. We are desperate to have our good health back. There are hundreds if not thousands of scientific studies proving the harm of EMR. If you have one iota of care for the citizens of these beloved United States, you will DO something to fully correct the long-evaded issue of extreme EMR exposure to everyone! I will attempt to attach several studies that prove the harm. Thank you for taking this seriously! It’s long overdue.

Requests a modern, independent reassessment of RF limits and cumulative, lifelong and multi-source exposu…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
To the Department of Health and Human Services and the Federal Communications Commission: I am submitting this comment because I believe the federal government has waited far too long to conduct a thorough, modern reassessment of radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure standards and their ability to protect the public. The FCC adopted its RF exposure limits in 1996. Wireless technology and our exposure environment have changed dramatically since then. We have moved through multiple generations of cellular technology while wireless infrastructure and the number of wireless devices surrounding us have greatly increased. Yet the fundamental FCC RF exposure limits remain unchanged. The question should not simply be whether an individual antenna, tower, or device complies with an existing limit. Federal agencies should determine whether those limits adequately address the real world environment people live in today. People are not exposed to one RF source at a time. We may encounter cell towers and antennas, WiFi routers, cell phones, tablets, Bluetooth devices, smart devices, security systems, and other wireless technologies throughout the day. I am especially concerned about infrastructure located near places where children, older adults, and other potentially vulnerable populations spend significant amounts of time. This includes daycares, schools, 55 and older communities, senior housing, assisted living facilities, and residential neighborhoods. Children may experience wireless RF exposure for virtually their entire lives. Older adults, people with implanted medical devices, workers with substantial occupational exposure, and people with existing health conditions also deserve appropriate consideration. Technology continues to advance rapidly. Public health research and exposure standards should advance with it. There is scientific evidence that deserves serious consideration. The U.S. National Toxicology Program conducted large animal studies of RF radiation and reported findings including malignant schwannomas of the heart in male rats under certain exposure conditions. Research from the Ramazzini Institute and subsequent systematic reviews has added to the scientific literature. At the same time, some human epidemiological research has not found increased risks for several health outcomes. Differences in findings should not be used as a reason to stop investigating. They are a reason for better research. Scientific uncertainty should not become an excuse for continued inaction while wireless technologies and infrastructure continue to expand. I am asking HHS, the FCC, NIH, FDA, CDC, NIEHS, and other appropriate agencies to support rigorous, independent research into cumulative RF exposure, multiple simultaneous RF sources, lifelong exposure beginning in childhood, potentially sensitive populations, reproductive and developmental effects, neurological and biological effects, cancer outcomes, occupational exposure, and current and emerging wireless technologies. Federal agencies should also evaluate real world RF environments around daycares, schools, senior communities, assisted living facilities, and residential areas where people may experience prolonged exposure. The public deserves transparency. Americans should be able to understand when exposure standards were established, the scientific assumptions behind them, how compliance is determined, what research supports them, what research raises concerns, and what remains unknown. I am not asking federal agencies to presume the outcome of the science. I am asking them not to presume the answer before adequately investigating the questions. After three decades of extraordinary changes in wireless technology, the American public deserves a comprehensive reassessment based on today's technologies, today's exposure environment, and today's scientific evidence. Technology should not advance faster than our willingness to investigate its potential effects on human health. I respectfully urge HHS and the FCC to conduct the rigorous, independent, transparent review this issue deserves and to ensure that protection of public health, including potentially vulnerable populations, remains a priority. Thank you for the opportunity to comment. Gina Paeth

A healthcare professional describes patients reporting headaches, sleep problems, palpitations and functi…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am responding from the perspective of a healthcare professional who has cared for a subset of patients who report significant symptoms that they associate with exposure to wireless technologies and electromagnetic fields. In my clinical practice, I have encountered patients who describe symptoms occurring or worsening in environments with higher levels of wireless or electromagnetic exposure. Reported symptoms have included headaches, sleep disturbance, fatigue, difficulty concentrating or “brain fog,” dizziness, palpitations, anxiety, heightened nervous system symptoms, and a general sense of feeling unwell. Some patients report that these symptoms improve when they reduce their exposure or spend time in environments with fewer wireless devices. These experiences can have a meaningful impact on patients’ daily lives. For some, concerns about exposure affect where they can comfortably work, sleep, travel, or spend extended periods of time. Regardless of the ultimate mechanisms involved, patients experiencing these symptoms deserve to have their concerns heard, studied carefully, and addressed with scientific rigor rather than dismissed. As a healthcare professional, I believe there is a need for continued high-quality, independent research examining the potential biological and health effects of chronic and cumulative exposure to RF and other electromagnetic fields, particularly as wireless technologies have become increasingly prevalent in homes, workplaces, schools, healthcare settings, and public spaces. I 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. Patient experiences and clinical observations should be considered alongside epidemiologic, laboratory, and mechanistic evidence when identifying areas requiring further investigation. I urge HHS to carefully evaluate the existing scientific evidence, identify important gaps in current research, support well-designed independent studies, and give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable or susceptible populations. I also encourage HHS to investigate whether certain individuals may experience biological or clinical effects at exposure levels that do not produce obvious effects in the general population. Finally, healthcare professionals need evidence-based guidance for evaluating and counseling patients who report symptoms associated with wireless or electromagnetic exposure. Additional research could help clinicians distinguish potential exposure-related effects from other medical conditions, better understand possible mechanisms, and provide patients with appropriate recommendations based on reliable evidence. Thank you for providing patients, families, healthcare professionals, researchers, and scientists with an opportunity to contribute their experiences and perspectives to this important public health discussion.

Alleges long-running coordinated neurotechnology attacks and describes pain, sleep disruption and dissati…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
1) My physical and mental symptoms are so real, tangible, well-co-ordinated with the real time environmental and real world activities those can never be ascribed to suffering from mental disorder like paranoid schizophrenia or illusion disorder. It is real time physical and mental torture with instantaneous severe neuro strikes using electromagnetic waves/laser induced shock wave in a continuous scale for 24/7 as per my thought, talk, activity and vision. It is a horrendous torture because the torture is on the specific part of the body or organ as per the nature of victim’s activity in real time. Torture such as itching, severe pain, hard impact, sudden headache, migraine like pain is associated with sleeplessness and restlessness during day in and out. Brain-computer interface between the computers and victims’ brains with the help of neuroweapon like neural implants / NEUROMORPHIC COMPUTING and then mind and body cloning with the help of generative AI/ ML can only be attributed to such real time physical and mental torture, with sudden changes in brain signal such as both urge and loss of appetite, urination, abrupt change in mood, emotion, feeling, severe chest pain, sudden drowsiness during scooty driving, sleep deprivation as per he perpetrators’ wishes and intentions, havoc pain in the internal organ and many more physical symptoms. And despite all these, all the time the victim is thinking logically, executing all types of normal activity including some skilled jobs like teaching, researching, software engineering and other creative works those require developed thought processes and its execution. 2) With no simple logic it can be turned as mental disorder. And this has not happened accidentally in one moment or one day, there has been intriguing conflicts with some of the Professors in the USA centred at me and my family who have been destroying all the lives in my family with the help of evil resources in the government projecting it as mental disorder in me. Please keep in mind when and how these whole episodes started in our life is still alive in me and crystal clear and after that the daily development of most of these evil criminal activities and instances, conversation, talking and other environmental turn outs in USA and then in India, I can exactly recount with proper indication of place and activities. Had I been suffering from any mental disorder, it was and is not possible for me. Now, the criminals can deny, but proper investigation can expel out the truth from them very easily. 3) I have consulted several psychiatrists, neurologists, and other physicians in India and the USA as well to comply with the desires and wishes of my family members for the last 17 years or so and have been taking medicines, and other medical advices as prescribed by them regularly, but not for a single instance I got any relief from the mental and physical trauma, the acute torture sensations, neurostrikes at different parts of the body, and other atrocities caused by the perpetrators in 24/7 scale. This is simply because the torture symptoms and atrocities are not anyway related to the medical abnormality in me but pure cybercrime with the help of cyber weapons and neuroweapons. 4) The criminals are highly influential persons, may even controlling government activities to some extent and they have a huge hierarchical network from top positions in the government to ordinary common persons with the help of their monetary power, network devices, and academic and/or research activities. 4) More importantly, here the main question arises to take imminent measures to protect human rights, their values, liberty, freedom and ultimate protection of humanity and human civilization as a whole. The complaints are so serious, severe and action demanded that simply terming these as mental disorder is irrespective and irrelevant in this case. I have demanded justice against a heinous cybercrime which can exist in this case irrespective of any mental issues in me and that is so precarious for humanity that we cannot neglect it without sincere, honest and transparent real time investigation with the help of competent investigating agencies and modern resources. 5) For every logic there exists two gateways; Yes or No; Positive or negative; and before reaching any conclusion to a highly sensitive and life or death decisive subject, both the options should be exhaustively investigated, otherwise human civilization cannot survive and progress an inch. So far, the whole energy and resources of human society have been spent on relating targeted individuals like me to the patients suffering from paranoid schizophrenia with end result in only destruction in human society. It is high time for government and educated human civilization come forward with their all resources and utmost sincerity and honesty to investigate into the other sides of the story to protect human from its extinct in all forms.

Reports neurological and cardiac symptoms, social isolation and difficulty traveling or accessing service…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have been deeply affected by wireless radiation. It affects my heart and my brain giving me headaches , heART palpitations, insomnia, memory loss, disorientation and dizziness especially when in facilities like hospitals, schools, government buildings etc. I cannot use cell phones for the same reason and I now live like a hermit on an isolated mountain away from towers and smart meters. I am 74 years old and cannot socialize anymore or go on trips, fly or travel by train because everything is WIFid to the nines and everyone carries and always has on their mobile phones. The other issue is that everyone is expected to use cell phones for "verification" of identity. This become a nightmare for those who are disabled by densified RF fields, arthritis, poor vision, dyslexia and other conditions not conducive for using a smart phones. The fact that all phone booths have been removed to force people into the use of this dangerous equipment is reprehensible . I almost died on a trip I took because I was exposed to hundreds of towers and got disoriented and lost and drove 7 hours out of my way because there were no longer phones along the HYWY where I could call for help. I STOPPED AT MANY REST STOPS AND ASKED FOR HELP AND EVERYONE USED THEIR PHONES TO TELL ME I WAS GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION WHEN I WAS GOING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION AND MY EXIT WAS 7 hours behind me! I had to stay in a hotel that really made me sick due to the WIFI and I could not sleep at all and had to drive to my destination the next day being disoriented with a migraine headache and deadly tired. I was weaving on the road while cars sped by me at 80 MPH! I was not able to call anyone to tell them what happened to me and I was reported as a missing person. Many people are marginalized due to this health condition and are living in cars looking for a safe sanctuary and have been made homeless. This is serious and this dangerous technology needs to be banned unless it can be used safely and so far it is not at all safe from any living organism, If there had been one phone both at a gas station or a rest stop none of that would have happened to me except for the health affects of driving in a soup of RF radiation.

Reports family symptoms, repeated displacement and difficulty finding accommodation attributed to towers …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
We were a healthy family until 2021 our health significantly declined. Little by little we started noticing we were having issues with 5g towers it started with my daughter's legs would go numb driving past 5g towers then she would be okay after. After we started traveling I had non stop brain fog at our home the 5g towers were 2.5 miles away. It was so bad I would rush to get ready for the day pack up the kids and go have fun at the parks just to get away and feel better. Then the cell tower crash happened 2025 for 4 hours no brain fog I felt so great at my home then cell phones started working and my brain fog came instantly back. We found a better place right next to neighbors with 5g hotspot which we didn't know existed. We all started having signs of radiation poisoning rashes, GI bleeds and sores. My daughter all of a sudden started complaining about a headache when at home we would leave she would be fine. Second day of this I started getting jittery and chest pains at home. My husband had our one vehicle at work. We spent the day walking the side of the roads and hanging out because our home made us so sick. My husband figured out it was 5g hotspot from our neighbors when he did a wifi search. He talked to the neighbors asked them to turn it off which they did for couple hrs we all felt so much better until it came back on and instantly headaches, chest pains and jittery again. Third day I couldn't be on the property at all I was having trouble breathing, brain fog, and very jittery I couldn't function. We had to move which you would think was simple but that's when we found out there was no place we could go without 5g towers. We moved away from the hotspot but closer to a 5g tower until we could find a safe place. I got so bad I remember hiding in the woods because the trees blocked some signal. I was pregnant and having braxten Hicks being around the 5g. We finally found a safe place after messaging so many air bnbs and hip camps because nobody gives you an address. It took me two weeks to recover from that. I could barely walk I was so weak. We want back home to Wisconsin expecting a safe home but instead found out we had no safe place due to 5g. We were allergic to the towers at our home that we lived at for 7 years, our friends homes, and most campgrounds. Finally found a safe place an hr away until they started updating towers up north to 5g. We moved south as our state wasn't working for us we had no place to be and God told us to go. Our first home we got radiation poisoning again from our neighbors 5g hotspot same story. The day we left I couldn't even walk my legs were so weak I just laid on the ground holding my baby who was napping I had no strength to physically move. When my husband brought the truck up for us to leave it was all I could do to get myself in. We tried so many campgrounds all had 5g wifi or 5g towers. One campground we were there 15 min my baby started screaming nonstop he never screamed. My son started rolling around on the floor screaming about his stomach hurting. I was so weak I barely could get my kids in the car but as soon as we left all the kids stopped screaming we were fine. We to this day can't be around 5g towers and avoid towns with 5g. For almost two years we felt like refugees in our own country no place to go that was safe and we physically couldnt be around 5g for long periods of time. God moved us to a county that bans 5g and we found some safety and normal life again. But there's only two small towns safe for us to go into the bigger towns we get headaches and other health issues and physically can't be there long. It's definitely limited us but we are thankful that we found some safety by our home at least.

Reports severe location-associated episodes during a Scandinavian commute, including a very high heart ra…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am submitting the attached document as a personal experience report relevant to the HHS review of possible health effects associated with radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) and wireless technologies. My report describes a series of severe, location-associated health events beginning in January 2022 during my regular commute between Strömstad, Sweden, and Moss, Norway—a route I had travelled for approximately ten years before these events. Two observations are particularly important. First, from January 7 through March 8, 2022, I changed my commute and drove an approximately 30 km longer route through a forested area to avoid Hogdal/Högdal and the locations associated with the earlier episodes. According to my observations, there were no telecommunications antenna sites along this alternative route, and during this period I experienced no symptoms. On March 9, 2022, I experienced the most severe episode, including an extreme cardiovascular reaction and a reported heart rate of approximately 250 beats per minute. Abnormally elevated heart rate continued afterward. Following these events, I was subsequently diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Approximately three days after the severe March 9 event, my TSH was reportedly about 5.4 mIU/L. My TSH subsequently continued to rise, reaching approximately 16 mIU/L by August 2022, and hypothyroidism was formally diagnosed on August 3, 2022. I had not previously been diagnosed with hypothyroidism or treated with levothyroxine. Second, after I began using RF/EMF-shielding clothing on March 31–April 2, 2022, I was able to travel by car past antenna sites that had previously been associated with sudden severe illness without experiencing those symptoms during the passages. I am not asking HHS to assume causation from these observations. I am asking that this history be investigated objectively using historical base-station configuration and activation records, RF exposure reconstruction, original medical records, and, where appropriate, controlled blinded testing. The attached document provides the detailed chronology, medical information, network information, limitations, and specific records that I believe should be examined.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
The cell towers and all ff the 5& 6G definitely affects me & my family. I get tachycardia at random times during the day. I don’t want these cell towers around me. While we’re at it get rid of the Flock cameras & the data centers they are feeding. Total Survalnce is not what I want. I want my government to follow the Constitution & support a healthy environment for me & my family. I certainly don’t want to fund this. My name is Mary Quinn from Macon GA.
