Supports HHS evaluation of affected people’s experiences, research gaps and protections for children and …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. I urge HHS to carefully evaluate the experiences of those being negatively affected by EMFs, RF, and wireless radiation, 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.

Requests independent research on cumulative real-world exposure, modern technologies and long-term outcom…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Commprehensive Government Study of the Potential Health Effects of Electromagnetic Radiation and Wireless Technologies To Whom It May Concern: I am writing to respectfully request that the appropriate government health and public-safety agencies undertake, support, or commission a comprehensive, independent study of the potential long-term health effects of exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) and radiofrequency (RF) radiation from the many wireless technologies now used routinely by the public. Wireless technology has become an integral part of everyday life, and people may be exposed to multiple sources simultaneously and for extended periods. These sources include, but are not limited to: 5G and other cellular networks and infrastructure Cell phones and smartphones Wi-Fi and wireless internet routers Bluetooth devices Wireless earbuds and headphones Wearable wireless devices and smartwatches Wireless home and office equipment Cellular towers and small-cell installations Other consumer and telecommunications RF-emitting devices I recognize that there is substantial scientific research concerning RF and EMF exposure, and that regulatory agencies have established exposure limits based on currently available evidence. However, given the rapid expansion of wireless technologies and the increasing duration and complexity of everyday exposure, I believe it is appropriate for the government to periodically reassess the evidence using current technology, exposure patterns, and epidemiological data. I respectfully request that any such study examine, among other issues: Long-term population health effects of chronic exposure to RF and other relevant portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Cumulative and combined exposure, including simultaneous exposure from cellular networks, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, phones, wireless earbuds, wearable devices, and other sources. 5G and newer wireless technologies, including whether differences in frequencies, modulation, signal characteristics, network architecture, and exposure patterns warrant additional research. Cell-phone use, including long-term and heavy-use patterns and exposure associated with devices held close to the body or head. Wireless earbuds and Bluetooth devices, particularly because some devices may be used for many hours each day and in close proximity to the head. Children and adolescents, including whether developing bodies or patterns of lifelong exposure warrant separate study. Potential neurological, cognitive, reproductive, developmental, cardiovascular, sleep-related, and other health outcomes, while distinguishing established evidence from preliminary or uncertain findings. Cancer and other long-latency outcomes, including sufficiently long-term epidemiological follow-up to identify effects that may not become apparent for many years. Individual susceptibility and exposure differences, including whether certain populations may experience different effects from comparable environmental exposures. Real-world exposure levels, rather than relying solely on theoretical or laboratory conditions, including measurements of aggregate exposure in homes, schools, workplaces, public transportation, and other environments. Adequacy of existing exposure standards, including whether current limits sufficiently account for chronic, low-level, cumulative, or simultaneous exposure from multiple technologies. Independent scientific review, with appropriate disclosure of funding sources, conflicts of interest, methodologies, raw data where possible, and the full range of relevant peer-reviewed evidence. I also request that the government make the findings of such research readily accessible to the public and clearly distinguish between findings that are well established, findings for which evidence remains mixed or uncertain, and questions requiring further investigation. This request is not based on an assumption that wireless technologies are harmful. Rather, it is a request for continued, independent, evidence-based surveillance and research as exposure patterns and technologies evolve. Given the widespread use of wireless devices and the potentially large population affected by any long-term health consequences, continued monitoring and rigorous research appear to be an important public-health responsibility. I respectfully ask that this request be forwarded to the appropriate federal and/or state agencies, scientific advisory bodies, and public-health authorities for consideration.

Reports alopecia worsening after travel and perceived improvement after reducing RF exposure, while ackno…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I'm prone to hair loss from alopecia areata. About a year ago I realized that excess exposure to microwave radiation led to even more hair loss. The first time I noticed this was in June 2025 when I traveled from the UK |(where I live) to Europe. Partway through the 9 day holiday I noticed that I was losing more hair than usual when I washed it. This continued for some time after the holiday. I can't remember how long but maybe a couple of weeks. I don't know where exactly I was being exposed to the increased radiation but I'm guessing it was likely cumulative - in the airports, then maybe there was more RFR in the two places I stayed than I had at home. Then in September 2025 I travelled from the UK to Holland for a few days. I was driven to Holland, stayed in a relative's house, then got the train home. I don't think the radiation exposure in the house was that bad. With the journey there I would have been in the car for 8 hours with the driver's phone, plus the EMFs from the car, and radiation from masts we passed. But I suspect that the majority of the exposure came from the 8 hour train journey home, being enclosed in train carriages for many hours, much of the time with lots of people around me, all of whom had at least one device, and most of whom were actively using them during the journey. The increased hair loss from this trip lasted for a few weeks afterwards. Subsequently I reduced my exposure to RFR as much as possible. I already had had wired internet for a number of years. But unbeknownst to me the router (not positioned in a place where I spent a lot of time luckily) had been emitting RFR for an unspecified period of time, as it turned out that every time there was a problem with the router (which happened occasionally) it would revert to factory settings, which meant that it was then emitting RFR into the area around it. This could have been going on months or years I just don't know. So I corrected this, and for extra protection put the router in a faraday bag. I also significantly reduced my mobile phone use. And after a month or two, for the first time in a few years, I began to get some regrowth. This then stalled because other factors came into play which I'm still trying to get to the bottom of. For instance, I'm trying to ascertain whether 'dirty electricity' from home appliances, being in a car etc, has a negative effect on my hair or not. Aside from genetics, the contributory factors to the alopecia seem to be multifactorial, and may also include mould issues, the fact I have Hashimoto's, and the state of my digestion. But excess RFR exposure is certainly one significant factor.

Alleges four years of voice-to-skull harassment, sexual coercion and nonconsensual experimentation involv…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
It’s been happening to me for 4 years now. This organization is using V2k programming and synthetic sex with frequency weapons and the voices that are here are foreplaying child sex abuse and trying to turn many of us on programming to pedophiles. I’m a die hard pedophile hater. I’m disgusted and thankfully I recorded the voices that were loud and not in my head so I knew from that point ok I’m not losing my mind. The organizers are being funded supposed for “research” from our tax paying dollars and We all are not willing participants. We want it to stop… they manipulate images to try to make us lose our minds but once I did my research I stopped letting it get to me. Now ignore them and have to use aluminum to keep them from trying to stimulate my vagina… they first start talking about sex with children and use the weapon to make you think your turned on to try to change us to support child asexual abuse… I’m a mother and I literally hate the CIA now since I know they are the ones running the program using frequency and radio weapons

Describes extensive personal and family symptoms, attributing them to EMFs, infrastructure and LED lighti…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
EMFs have had negative impacts in several of my family members. The most severe happened to my father in 2021.He had chromosome deletion that caused strokes, and needed regular blood transfusions because his body stopped making normal red blood cells. The last blood transfusion was contaminated with mrna vax, gave him another stroke and his heart stopped at the hospital. My mother had a heart attack while living in the same home in 2024. Both happened within 3 years of the high school getting wires ran under their home and new infrastructure added into the ceiling of the building. They still used a landline, but also had internet . My dad never used a cell phone, or a computer. My mom used a cell phone to text or call, but nothing else. My experience everyday, is debilitating. Its worsened my condition, is ageing me rapidly, has thinned my hair, and my teeth fall out like im in a nightmare. An entire tooth, undamaged, coming out into my hand. One had 3 whole, undamaged roots still intact. Now my bottom front teeth are nearly coming out. A couple days ago, one did, I pushed it back in. My body hurts constantly, like I have the flu, but im not sick. I have heart palpitations often. I get lightheaded in certain areas at work. My vision has gotten so bad the past 2 years, that I almost did not get my license renewed. I get blisters on my skin if im outside for any amount of time ,without being fully covered. My hands and arms have white splotches where there is no melanin now. The brain fog is unbearable. The sleepiness is stealing my life. Ive switched all the LEDs back to incandescent my home The new LED bulbs installed at my job, called BioUp, alter circadian rhythm, and hormones, and have disrupted my menstrual cycle tremendously. I now bleed 3 weeks, stop for 1, and repeat. I’m 45 years old. And still have small children Im raising alone. I cant shop at certain stores, because by the time I check out, my brain fog is so severe and sleepiness so heavy, that im unable to safely drive home. My children are all affected with headaches and various things. My teenager has noticed severe cramps during school, and heavier cycles. She also experience the same stereotypical symptoms of covid, which mimic radiation illness, and has been studied in metadata analysis reports for similarities. Symptoms are loss of taste and smell, and congestion currently. She has body aches. Her mood swings are so severe the past couple weeks, that ive nearly called medics too assess her. This is all since school started Aug 24 2026. My youngest is gaining weight rapidly, complains of headaches often, nearly everyday, and struggles to sleep. My oldest has hypothyroid and skin rashes no one can explain, and was told he has rheumatoid arthritis at 23 yo. Hes always been very active, athletic, and lives a healthy life. . My 2nd oldest has depression and anxiety, sleep disorder, and has had mri to check for concerns with headaches.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I’m not sure why but I can’t have my wifi on in the house at all. My heart starts having palpitations and I get very emotional. My last dream home I bought was a few feet away from a transmission line and from day one my whole body felt like it was getting shocked. It was a living nightmare. I somehow got through RN school sleeping in my car away from the house. Finally we moved to the country and I’m fine. I just can’t have the wifi on so it stays off when I’m here! My child’s brand new school is getting built and there is a cell tower right above it. Please make it mandatory all cell towers have to be removed from a child’s school or with in so many feet. We know they cause cancer already so what are we waiting for

Reports an acoustic neuroma and hearing loss attributed to cellphone use, describes occupational and soci…

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 patient. I am currently 75. Around 2011 I experienced tinnitus in my right ear only. I consulted an ear, nose, and throat doctor, who sent me for an MRI. He said that one sided hearing loss could be caused by a tumor. The MRI revealed that I had an acoustic neuroma. These tumors are usually benign, but if they grow, they can require invasive surgery which can result in hearing loss, facial paralysis, and more. These tumors take up to 10 years to form. I started using a cell phone around 2001. From the beginning, I believed that my tumor was caused by cell phone use. I'm right handed, its my right ear, and I held my phone up to that ear for long periods of time talking to people long distance with that phone. I was unaware of the radiation coming from cell phones. At first I had an MRI with contrast yearly for 7 years. That contrast was gadolinium which is a heavy metal. I now regret complying with that requirement because of the possible health ramifications from heavy metals. Current medical research indicates that the contrast is not required for MRIs of acoustic neuromas and my current doctor agrees. Initially, it was very frightening to have a tumor in my head and I experienced anxiety about the possibility that invasive surgery might be required. When my tumor was diagnosed, the medical literature did not show a relationship between acoustic neuroma and cell phone use, but it does now. Initially, my doctor did not attribute the tumor to cell phone use. My current doctor does. Yet, the general public continues to use these phones and to give them to their children to use with little understanding of the possible health consequences. Now I often tell people about my tumor and the fact that research has proven that they are caused by cell phone radiation. The public needs to know this and our government needs to protect American citizens from this danger, especially vulnerable children. I do as much as I can to avoid exposure to radiation which is very difficult in a world where 5G is everywhere, xrays are often recommended, smart meters are forced on American citizens, etc. I was an academic librarian when I started to lose the hearing in my right ear. That loss affected my ability to hear students who asked questions at the reference desk and to hear students during my presentations to classes. I have difficulty hearing people speak when there is a great deal of background noise and this affects my relationships and ability to communicate. I must position myself with my good ear closest to the person speaking in many situations in order to hear conversation. Sometimes I stop trying to hear. Fortunately, as soon as I stopped holding the phone up to my ear, my tumor stopped growing. I have been watching and waiting for years now. My doctor believes that my tumor will not grow and I can avoid surgery. Others are not so lucky. I have seen patients at support group meetings who have experienced facial paralysis as a result of their surgery. I object to being exposed to more and more unchecked radiation in the world that we live in and believe that it is unconscionable that our government has not protected its citizens from this danger. Data centers are springing up everywhere exposing the public to more and more technology and radiation. Technology companies should have to prove that their products are safe prior to putting them on the market. Instead, citizens are injured and must prove that the technology caused their injury. How many of those children now using cell phones will have tumors like mine in 10 years or cancerous tumors as a result of cell phone radiation? Therefore, I wholeheartedly 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 and families with an opportunity to be heard. I am very lucky that my tumor has only taken my hearing in one ear and has stopped growing. Others will continue to experience these tumors until the health of American citizens is prioritized and companies are required to prove that their products are safe before they can sell them.
