Re: HHS-OASH-2026-0397 — EMF and Wireless Radiation Exposure
To Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services:
Thank you for examining EMF health effects.
I write to you as a registered nurse with over 20 years of experience, a parent, an independent researcher, and a certified clinician in whole-food nutrition. My priorities are preventing disease, protecting all ages and future generations, and preserving our environment.
Expanding wireless infrastructure requires rigorous RF research, transparency, public participation, and enforceable safeguards.
Questions 2–4: Observations
I have personally become aware of an alarming increase in children being diagnosed with brain tumors. Research should routinely follow up on diagnoses of brain tumors, cancer, and infertility to assess and report relevant exposures, including pesticides, mold, and wireless networks or towers near homes, schools, and workplaces, while accounting for other possible causes.
Questions 12–13: Research
Please evaluate these studies:
1. Gautam et al., Andrology (online 2025; print 2026): Rats were assigned to control, sham-exposed, and exposed groups (six each). The exposed group received 35.5 GHz exposure for two hours daily for 60 days. Researchers reported reduced sperm count and viability, testicular tissue changes, increased lipid peroxidation, reduced antioxidant measures, and increased DNA damage by comet assay. Exposure intensity, absorbed dose, temperature control, and replication require careful evaluation.

2. Wang et al., Biology (2024): Mice exposed at 4.9 GHz and 50 W/m² for one hour daily for 35 days showed changes in 104 brain metabolites and 61 brain proteins, including glycerophospholipid metabolism. These demonstrate molecular differences under the experimental conditions.

3. Human brain-organoid study (2024): Human-derived brain organoids exposed to GSM at 1.84 GHz, approximately 2.1 V/m, for one hour daily for five days showed reduced expression of certain proliferation, cell-cycle, and cellular-activity genes during differentiation. Appearance and measured apoptosis/senescence genes did not significantly change but it was only done for one hour for 5 days. This supports further developmental research.

Frequency, power density, SAR, modulation, duration, temperature, species, and whole-body versus localized exposure all matter.
Questions 5, 7–11, 14–18: Safeguards
I ask HHS, the FCC, and environmental agencies to:
• Require public assessments of evidence, realistic exposure, research gaps, and safeguards before widespread deployment of materially new frequencies or exposure patterns.
• Fund independent, preregistered research with sham controls, blinding, adequate samples, temperature monitoring, accurate dosimetry, and replication; include positive and null findings.
• Compare 3G, 4G, 5G, and proposed 6G at comparable absorbed doses and under realistic conditions.
• Prioritize developmental, reproductive, and long-term cancer research and validated human organoid models of brain, heart, liver, kidney, reproductive tissues, and placenta.
• Require independent exposure assessments before and after major diagnosis’s, infrastructure changes, publicly reporting combined exposure and verifying high-traffic conditions.
• Offer wired connections and reduce unnecessary wireless transmission and cell towers in schools, childcare, and healthcare settings.
• Establish enforcement, reassessment, mitigation, and restriction criteria for exceeded limits or credible evidence of adverse effects.
• Study pollinators, birds, wildlife, livestock, and plants under habitat-relevant exposures.
Question 5: International examples
France restricts fixed wireless-internet equipment in designated spaces for children under three and requires primary-school Wi-Fi to be disabled when not needed for education (legifrance.gouv.fr; ecologie.gouv.fr).
Germany recommends wired connections and keeping access points away from prolonged-use areas (bfs.de).
Switzerland combines precautionary requirements for certain fixed installations with national exposure monitoring (bafu.admin.ch).
Please evaluate these approaches for the United States.
We are called to care for the people, animals, and land God has entrusted to us. Technological progress must include responsible stewardship, independent science, and protection of health and wellbeing for present and future generations.
God bless America and God bless our world with love, peace, and health.
