ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Comment to HHS: RF Radiation and Public Health I am submitting this comment in response to HHS's Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields, Radiofrequency Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. The Science Behind This Comment One of the most important, and most overlooked, scientific foundations for this RFI is the research of Robert O. Becker, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon and bioelectricity pioneer, detailed in his landmark 1985 book The Body Electric: Electromagnetism and the Foundation of Life. Becker's central finding: living organisms are fundamentally electrical systems. Bioelectric signals govern growth, healing, and regeneration, and these systems evolved in concert with Earth's natural electromagnetic environment. When artificial electromagnetic fields interfere with those signals, biological harm can follow. His key findings: Non-thermal biological effects are real. Current FCC standards assume only heat-generating exposures cause harm. Becker demonstrated biological responses to electromagnetic fields at intensities far below thermal thresholds — overturning the very framework on which U.S. safety standards rest. Bioelectric mechanisms govern healing. His research showed that bone healing is electrically regulated, and that low-level electrical stimulation could trigger regeneration where conventional medicine had failed. If the body is this sensitive to electromagnetic signals, it cannot be indifferent to the artificial electromagnetic environment we now live in. Industry influence corrupts safety standards. Becker documented how experts setting U.S. pollution limits were influenced by the industries being regulated, and drew a direct comparison with Eastern European nations where more independent scientists arrived at far stricter exposure limits. Whistleblowers are punished. After testifying that power line fields posed documented health risks, Becker's NIH grants were canceled, his VA funding was blocked, and his laboratory was shut down in 1980. This is not fringe science — it is science that threatened powerful interests. Why This Matters Today Becker published his warnings in 1985. The FCC's RF safety standards were last meaningfully updated in 1996 — predate smartphones, ubiquitous WiFi, and 5G densification. They were built on a thermal-only framework that Becker's research had already scientifically undermined before those standards were written. Children are particularly vulnerable. Thinner skulls and developing nervous systems mean they absorb RF radiation at significantly higher rates than adults — yet towers continue to be sited near schools and playgrounds. What I Am Asking HHS to Do Commission independent, longitudinal research on chronic low-level RF exposure, with priority given to children and vulnerable populations. Apply the precautionary principle where exposures are involuntary — near homes, schools, and playgrounds. Evaluate the full body of peer-reviewed literature on non-thermal biological effects. Create a formal mechanism to document and study experiences of individuals reporting RF-related health effects. Recognize that the FCC — a communications regulator — is not equipped to be the final word on human health risk. The science exists. What has been missing is the institutional independence to act on it. HHS is the right agency to change that. Thank you for this opportunity to be heard.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am writing as a patient who is concerned about the damage. All wireless radiation is doing to my own body on a Cellular level. I have experienced chronic insomnia which has worsened in particular after a smart meter installed on my home several years ago and also after we moved, and we have a Cell tower close to us and now or more reliant on Wi-Fi. I have definitely noticed worsening in my condition such as nights without any sleep, agitation, nervous system, disorientation, migraines, and chest palpitations. I’m also writing as a member of the public who is concerned over the well-being of all humans and in particular are most vulnerable, which would be children and the elderly as far as I know there has not been a long-term studies on human health and wireless radiation, which is increasing faster than studies could even keep up with if there were any valid studies that weren’t run by special interest groups. I urge you to rain and cell towers and smart meters at the very least and educate the public about turning off Wi-Fi in the evenings or whenever possible to use a hardwired system.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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 and families with an opportunity to be heard.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I created 13 mostly large notebooks of science papers documenting issues with EMF'S. Its abundantly clear they are harmful. Please regulate emfs and, better, change them to frequencies that are not harmful and possibly are healing. Such frequencies exist and are being used in health practices. Also regulate and educate on electrical wiring emfs in homes and appliances abd teach emf hygiene to kids in schools and the public.

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, parent, family member, caregiver, healthcare professional, researcher, advocate, concerned member of the public, or other]. PERSONALIZE YOUR COMMENT HERE: Tell HHS how wireless radiation has affected you, your child, your family, or someone you care about. You may describe the source and duration of the exposure, health effects experienced, when they began, whether reducing exposure made a difference, and how these experiences have affected daily life. If you are an ally, describe why you support people affected by wireless radiation and why you believe HHS should address this issue. 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.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am deeply concerned about the effect of wireless radiation on our health. Any studies that we have are completely outdated, and prone to industry bias. I consider it one of the most important issues that HHS can work on. We need good studies, and information about how we can protect ourselves against the harmful effects. It is especially potentially damaging towards children. No doubt it is a factor in our high, chronic disease burden, as well as poorly performing immune system systems, which was a big factor with Covid.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I've been having issues with EMR since Longmont CO installed their Nextlight high speed internet in 2016. I was waking from a dead sleep with heart palpitations. I came across a documentary on 5G and wireless radiation, they said turn off your wifi to find out if you have issues and I did, the change was so profound, had the best sleep ever in over 15 years. But my husband didn't want it shut off nightly due to work computer updates at night. So I resorted to harmonizers that did help for many years until they put in their Smart Electrical meters all over our community despite my open opposition to our city council for like 4 years, We did get an opt out option with a hefty fee, but all of my neighbors have gotten them. Now I can hardly raise my kids and am exhausted and not able to function somedays especially the days I have to go to Boulder for errands. My labs with my functional doctor showed my thyroid and all were normal then within a year of the meters it want to Hashimoto's Thyroid disease to being even more pre diabetic. I had an episode where I had to take antibiotics for dental issues and ended up with an insanely itchy all over full body rash that would not go away. I resorted to shutting off the wifi and within 10 minutes the itching stopped and the rash began to fade. I figured it must be my biome out of balance and since my testing showed high levels of mold in my system I figured the mold was running rampant. I currently have a rash on my face from our puppy scratching me that won't heal and has been migrating around my face for two months. I don't want to see a doctor and get antibiotics again. I sadly had to get a new phone and I feel like it is why my face won't heal. There is a definite pattern, if I have to text a bunch when I'm away from my ethernet wired computer my face starts to itch and burn more. We took a drive a few weeks ago and the first day my face felt great, hardly any cell towers where we were driving, the next day it was a raging mess with the towers on alternating sides of the road every few miles. Also on that same stretch hardly any insects on our windshield despite being in a national grassland with shoulders of the road that had not been mowed. I remember when I was a kids roads like that would get your windshield a good coating of bug guts. Another trip driving home from Big Sky MT I got sick from their wireless infrastructure at the resort with their towers at the tops of their chair lifts, I would feel what side of the interstate the cell tower was on based on the sharp pains in my head, I would normally wear a faraday beanie but had given it to my son who was 9 at the time who was suffering massive headache and feeling sick as well. He is also the kid who gets massive headaches and nose bleeds when they do testing at school which is the only time they use computers at his school, a room full of wireless laptops makes my son sick. Talking to the front desk gal my son was one of many kids who fall into this pattern of missing school and getting sick when they do this testing. I've attempted to educate the Directors of the school on this but they refuse and the last one even said there was no science to back my claims. In this day and age you can always find anything to back your beliefs even if they are not true. My husband is mostly in denial it is making me sick and complains whenever I try to buy anything to help myself and refuses to let me hire a building biologist to minimize dirty electricity and reduce my exposure. So I've basically lost all hope of every feeling good unless I get a divorce and since I can't hardly be out in public due to exposure from all the wireless infrastructure and now traffic cameras all over I can't work and leave. I don't know why you supposed leaders keep ignoring us Human Canaries in the EMF mines of society who are telling you it's making us sick. The ones who notice how when they install more wireless tech, the insect populations take a nose dive, like the bee's for example. The ones who physically feel it and suffer almost daily from it. Now I have this insane insomnia too that is not doing me any favors. Whenever there is weather forecasted I can feel the HARP shit that is charing the atmosphere and feel literally microwaved in the morning. Like I was with the next light internet. The things I used to use to help minimize its impact no longer works with each additional layer of Radiation you keep adding to this world. Faraday clothing helps but it's kind of ugly and expensive. You must fund the studies there is enough evidence from people like me to warrant such studies. And in the meantime but a halt to more being installed to avoid the continuation of the mass die off we are seeing of many much smaller species. The damage we are causing to our children needs to stop if we want to continue as a species.

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 a concerned member of the public. I have two school-age children, and wireless devices are part of their everyday lives at home, at school, and in the community. I want them to benefit from technology, but I also want clear, trustworthy information about whether long-term exposure could affect children’s health. I cannot say that wireless radiation has caused a health problem in my family. My concern is that children may experience years of exposure while important questions remain unresolved. Parents need practical guidance grounded in careful research, especially when avoiding exposure altogether is unrealistic. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Federal agencies with expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health should assess the scientific evidence and listen to individuals and families who report being affected. I urge HHS to identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish clear federal research priorities. Please share the findings in language families can use to make informed decisions. Thank you for giving individuals and families an opportunity to be heard.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Howdy, Please do something about the excessive dangers of EMF'S from 5g and wifi especially. I would also suggest that you make wifi illegal in public schools , like France did. 5g is around 134 times stronger than 4g and is very dangerous. You should have a new study done on cellphone dangers, as well as a study on the dangers of 5g, and a study on the dangers of wifi. EMF'S are killing are older Americans and seriously and permanently injuring our Younger Americans. Please help make our Blessed Country Safe Again in the name of Yeshua our Messiah, Amen. God bless you Mr Kennedy, Caveman

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I want to know why we have to have 5G. Everything worked fine before 5G, and 5G is harming people’s body and brain. All of a sudden everybody has Alzheimer’s, I wonder why that is. The 5G, the chemtrails, the killer chemicals in our air, food and water are all purposely being employed to kill us. Is anybody doing anything about it? 5G could be available for special needs, but not in the air all the time. They are even putting these towers by schools. We used to protect our children; things have sure changed in the world. Children are not safe in this world. People have talked with the pilots of these chemtrail machines and they don’t care. Some of them don’t even care that they’re harming their own families. How could they care if they keep doing it? They must be making a lot of money. It’s probably all about the money just like so many other things in the world today. This country needs God ASAP.
