Question Numbers: 3, 18 September 30, 2026 The EMP Victims collective – Victims of Electromagnetic Pollution – has been giving a voice for nearly two years to those who suffer from EMR Syndrome. We launched an international appeal, “EMR-S (EHS) Is a Humanitarian Emergency,” on February 14, 2024. Today, our website, www.empvictims.org, brings together: - More than 4,600 messages from signatories to our Appeal, reporting electromagnetic suffering around the world; - A series of video testimonials documenting lives shattered by mobile phone masts, mobile phones, Wi-Fi routers, smart meters and other wireless devices communicating through radio frequencies, as well as by electrical and magnetic pollution, and also the indifference, or even denial, surrounding this suffering. People affected by EMR-S syndrome are environmental sentinels who alert us to the biological effects of EMFs and to the immediate and imperative need for zons free from wireless radiation for those who are most severely affected. We are also calling for a radical change in standards in order to protect those who are not yet suffering, particularly children and pregnant women, who are among the most vulnerable Our Appeal has been received by institutional officials who refuse to take into account the health and environmental consequences of the exponential increase in levels of artificial EMFs. We support Robert F. Kennedy Jr., U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, in the hope that the toxicity of electromagnetic radiation will finally be recognized and that each state will take the necessary measures to protect its population. (Attached are the appeal, the 4,653 messages submitted by signatories as of 30 September 2026, and the European Commission’s response.)

As a tester of EMF houses for years and a health researcher for many more, the stark health improvement of my customers is what is immediately apparent. One customer from 15 year stands out as a stark example. This woman was on the verge of suicide. She had constant headaches, eye trouble and a nasty (often pus-filled) facial rash. It was a simple EMF solution. She had been sleeping on the other side of a wall from the electric meter i.e. within 3-4 feet. We moved her bed andthese maladies dissipated within days. In 2002, I tried to engage RFK Jr. after an environmental speech at UofT to no particular avail. The EMF from electrical powerlines got a free pass and now the opponent 100x the size. I fear the same obfuscation, corruption and chicanerey from this amalgam of EMF Corp. will match or exceed Pharma. RFK Jr. has with persistent , strategic chipping away at Pharma's edges has already impacted the mobility and mortality of millions of people. It grows by the day. There are that many and more who are mentally and impacted by EMF. It was once my mission. But I was mocked by my own family - 5 or 6 of whom have since died where the unindicted co-conspirator was in fact.... EMF. P.S. The Milan- Rome Conundrum elucidated by Denis Rancourt (see also New York- California) points to the fact Milan was swamped with COVID deaths where Rome was not. EMF was One Answer.

Request for Information Docket HHS-OASH-2026-0397 Public Experiences and Reported Potential Adverse Health Effects 2. I submit this comment as a concerned citizen with 2 direct years of constant EMF exposure from a buried power line along our foundation emitting excessive EMF (magnetic). In total, I now have 6 years of personal experience related to EMF exposure and health effects. 3. After moving into a newly built condo, my husband and I started to suffer from headaches, dizzy spells, high pitched & popping auditory symptoms, insomnia, brain fog, and other issues such as anxiety, irritability, heart palpitations, etc. After researching our combined symptoms and possible causes, we purchased an EMF meter and eventually identified that there was a high EMF (magnetic field) originating from a 20+ year old power line that was buried at the foot of our foundation and supplying power to the entire neighborhood(s). In addition, Dirty Electricity was also an issue in our new condo. After going before the City Council 4 times and contacting experts in the field and escalating the issue to the power company, the power company agreed to move the powerline away from our foundation. a. Primary issue: Power Conductor Line supplying power to neighborhood(s). Secondary issue: Dirty Electricity b. 24/7 excessive EMF (magnetic) ranging from 12 to 30 mG (and much higher during peak demand months) at the living room floor/exterior wall up to the master bedroom and through the entire depth of the condo. The EMF dissipated to about 1.5 mG in the driveway on the back side of the condo. Exposure started in January of 2020 when we moved in and it dropped significantly on January 28, 2022 when the old power line was turned off and relocated further away from the foundation from its original location. However, the EMF magnetic field consistently hovered around 0.5 to 1.0mG thereafter and we found it necessary to sell our home due to our new "electromagnetic hypersensitivity" resulting from 2 years of constant exposure. c. The adverse health effects we experienced included headaches, insomnia, brain fog, auditory anomalies (ringing, high & low-pitched noises, popping sounds), dizzy spells, memory issues, heart palpitations, anxiety, irritability, electromagnetic hypersensitivity, etc. d. The health effects first appeared shortly after moving into our new condo. We did not understand why we were experiencing these symptoms and did not know about EMF. It was almost a full year of confusion, headaches, dizzy spells, etc., before we started to research what could be causing our health effects and bought a Trifield EMF meter in December of 2020. e. Confidential PHI f. The steps we took to reduce EMF exposure from the power line included moving into the guest room (furthest from the source of the EMF) and, at night, turned off the main power breaker to minimize EMF while we slept. We continued to have symptoms but, at times, seemed less severe than when we were sleeping in the master bedroom (2nd floor above the power line). We avoided the living room, where the EMF was highest. For the EMF exposure from the dirty electricity, we had the electrician remedy by rewiring the bundled neutrals in the electrical panel & boxes (this was the easy fix). g. Exposure logs with readings throughout the house and pictures and videos recorded. Exposure Standards and Risk Assessment 5. Please consider reviewing international exposure standards and building biology guidelines to establish regulatory frameworks to evaluate potential adverse health effects of human exposure to EMF. For example: 2012 BioInitiative Report’s precautionary guidelines and the Building Biology Precautionary Guidelines for Sleeping Areas (SBM-2015). pdf • AC magnetic fields .2 – 1 mG • AC electric fields .3 – 1.5 V/m • Body voltage less than 10 – 100 mV • Radio Frequency radiation less than 10 μW/m² Also refer to: EHS & MCS website: EHS & MCS - Research and Treatment European Group - Electrosensible-Recherche et traitement Also refer to: Building Biology Institute: Healthy Buildings For Sustainable Living - Building Biology Institute and their 25 Building Principles 25 Building Biology Principles - Building Biology Institute n. Please consider establishing guidelines and regulatory standards for proximity of power lines, sub stations, cell towers, etc. Educate the general public about hazards of all types of EMF and what they can do to minimize exposure. With cell phones, require lower SAR and require all cell phone and wireless radiation to post their SAR levels along with possible health effects. For Power Conductors and Sub Stations, establish safe limits and do not allow day cares, nursing homes, homes, or places of business to be built within at least 100 feet (refer to California’s standards on this – that is one thing they did right!).

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, researcher. I have had over the last 30 years about 10 high level cases that required significant lifestyle changes. The most extreme are currently living offgrid with minimum electricity and it must be DC. Those that chose to stay in their homes restrict use of electricity with no wireless technologies. Over 90% of my patients showed some toxic response to EMF especially wireless. Most eliminated wifi and minimize cell use to emergencies. Symtoms included headaches, panic attacks, weight gain, metobolic syndrome into type 2 diabetes, muscular aches, weakened immune system, lowering of job performance and skin conditions such as moles and skin tabs. Having grown up in the 60's and 70's we saw the pollution, air and water, littering. Now the biggest pollution is the EMF Cloud! These invisible toxins are major contributors to the current mental wellfare crisis in this country as well as their continued inflamation leading to cancer and heart disease.

I knew that AC florescent lighting made me ill in first grade in 1966. I only recently became aware that this sensitivity may be due to the amount of "dirty electricity" associated with these lights or it might be the flicker. 60 years after this first became a problem I was diagnosed with Post Trauma Vision Syndrome. I came home from school every day in first and second grade with a headache and begged my mother to teach me at home instead. My mother didn't know that home schooling was an option. The next similar sensitivity that I noticed was to microwave ovens. When my mother got one, I found I had to back away from it when it was in use because it made me feel overwhelmed. As an adult from 1986-1998, I lived off the grid with DC solar power. I found I could tolerate DC flourscent light perhaps because of the lack of flicker or perhaps because dirty electricity is not a DC problem. In 1998 a modified sine wave inverter began to be used in my house. My health began to decline and in 2003 I became mentally ill. At some point wifi came into my house. I didn't know what it was, my husband or eldest step son would have been the ones who understood that it was present when it was first installed. I recovered my mental health through neurofeedback in 2007 and became a neurofeedback coach. When my mentor who owned one of the most powerful cell phones on the market at the time handed me his phone to speak with clients, I would find having his phone near me overwhelming. In order to be more easily reached by my clients, I bought a cell phone in 2007, we now had a local tower 2-3 miles away from where I was living. Mine was not as powerful a phone. Less overwhelming than my mentor's cell phone, I could not have long conversations on my cell phone without being thrown off balance physiologically. My next cell phone a 3G phone seemed to put out slightly less radiation, but was still a problem. I began texting when I got this phone. I noticed that my thyroid reacted to texting. It seemed that the way I held my phone to text sends the radiation up to my thyroid. AT&T kept sending me notices that they were not going to support my 3G phone any longer and sent me a refurbished smart phone, but I could not tolerate exposure to the smart phone, so I kept using my perfectly good 3G phone until AT&T killed it. The best option I could find at that time was a flip phone which was frustrating to operate compared to my 3G phone. My house was developing a mold problem around 2003 that became severe in 2006. I am aware that there is research showing that mold produces more toxins when exposed to wifi. This maybe because mold produces toxins when it feels threatened as a means of self-defense. Mold appears to be able to sense wifi and perhaps other forms of EMR. This along with home construction techniques and tightening up of homes, maybe why mold illness is becoming more and more common. Being highly sensitive to EMR, mold, chemicals and LED lighting (which may relate to dirty electricity) I am using the inheritance I received when my parents passed away in their mid to late 90s to build a non-toxic mold resistant, EMR safe house. I have an EMR consultant and a building biologist consultant. All the electrical wiring in my new house is in MC cable. I decided I needed to avoid the most highly efficient HVAC equipment because of the high amount of dirty electricity produced by variable speed motors. All lighting will be incandescent because that is the only type of artificial lighting that I can tolerate, even there I have to use low wattage and shades. I am being careful as I select appliances to avoid dirty electricity, wifi and other forms of radiation. My computers will be hard wired as they are in my current rental house. My roof and stainless steel counters will be grounded. There will be a whole house dirty electricity filter on the incoming power. I am avoiding solar power because of the dirty electricity from inverters. I will be grid tied. This is an expensive project, I am so fortunate to be able to afford this because of inheritance. Due to having been somewhat chronically ill for 23 years now, and not as resilient as the average adult prior to becoming clearly ill, I would not be able to afford this house otherwise. There is a dramatic shortage of housing that meets the needs of the highly sensitive. I once met a homeless woman in a parking who approached me because she guessed correctly that I was highly sensitive to chemicals because I had worn a respirator into the store. Social services was unable to provide her with housing that met her needs. I brought her home with me to see if she could camp out at my place in a tent, but that didn't work for her. I had to live outdoors for 18 months in 2006-2007 due to my sensitivity, so I understood her plight. Our government needs to recognize that sensitivity to indoor environments is a significant aspect of the homeless crisis.

I live in Slovenia, about 90 meters from cell towers. I am unvaccinated and have not had COVID-19. My health issues began with 4G deployment (shoulder calcifications) and exploded with 5G. Symptoms include brain fog, poor concentration and memory, ear pain, insomnia, extreme fatigue, and joint pain. Symptoms disappear when changing locations. Replacing our modem worsened ear pain. Turning off home Wi-Fi 3 years ago eliminated frequent colds/coughing and reduced some symptoms, though fatigue and cognitive issues persist. I now use my mobile phone only for SMS. In enclosed spaces, especially modern cars (with GPS, built-in SIMs, radar, and sensors), reactions occur in 100% of cases. Phone calls or active wireless in cars cause severe pressure, breathing difficulty, voice distortion, and panic/suffocation, forcing me to open windows. Talking on the phone for 10 minutes distorts my voice and causes flu-like symptoms for a week. Strong Wi-Fi exposure triggers insomnia, sore throat, and respiratory symptoms. I attribute these reactions to EMF/high-frequency disruptions of oxygen transport: Tissue Hypoxia: Deprivation of adequate oxygen to cells. Rouleaux Effect / Red Blood Cell Agglutination: Red blood cells stacking due to charge changes, impairing capillary flow and oxygen delivery. Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS): EMF-triggered vascular constriction and air deprivation. After installing a rooftop solar inverter, holding a wired mouse caused pain/electrical sensations despite all wireless being off. Measurements confirmed "dirty electricity" from the inverter converting DC to AC, creating voltage spikes across unshielded house wiring. A dirty electricity meter showed ~1900 mV (safe limit: 50 mV). We are currently awaiting active/passive filters. My body acts as a sensor without needing instruments. Health issues affect my family too: my husband has tinnitus. Of our three children, the two who attended school near broadcast antennas have issues: one has hearing loss (also used a baby monitor), and the other has tremors. Both were exposed 24/7. Our third child, who attended a different school, shows no symptoms. Following 5G deployment, health problems appeared across our neighborhood among both vaccinated and unvaccinated, young and old (e.g., heart arrhythmia in an unvaccinated neighbor, high blood pressure in a 17-year-old). Most neighbors now have high blood pressure, with several recent sudden cardiac deaths and cancer cases. Unprotected exposure, especially for children, risks an explosion of chronic illness and cognitive decline.

Increased cancer risk to people living around high power voltage lines, and cell towers. Drier skin, rashes, cancer. Big cities experience wave consolidation, where multiple 4/5G up to 71GHz consolidate and create locations where power can be increased many times over. In some cases you can even power a lightbulb over the air, and metal objects may appear magnetized, electro-staticity also increases. Same effects can be seen on IT workers within datacenters. Often just walking by server exhaust they may become electro-static charged, they experience dry skin, and rashes.

**SUBMISSION TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES (HHS)** **Regarding:** Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure **Docket Reference:** Related to Federal Register Notice (Document 2026-19252) **Subject:** Incorporating Non-Thermal Biological Frameworks and the Scientific Legacy of Dr. Robert O. Becker into Modern Regulatory Safety Standards I. Executive Summary As HHS reviews scientific data regarding human exposure to EMFs, RF, and wireless radiation, it must address a fundamental flaw in existing safety paradigms: the reliance on thermal-only thresholds. To establish safety standards protecting public health from chronic wireless environments, HHS should integrate the bioelectromagnetics principles established by Dr. Robert O. Becker (former Chief of Orthopedic Surgery and VA Medical Investigator). Dr. Becker’s pioneering research and historical testimonies—such as his 1977 *60 Minutes* evaluation of the Navy's ELF "Project Seafarer" grid—prove that living organisms are highly sensitive bioelectric systems vulnerable to non-thermal radiation. II. The Flaw of the Thermal-Only Paradigm Current federal exposure limits assume electromagnetic radiation only harms human health if it causes thermal burning or acute heating. Dr. Becker’s work directly refutes this, demonstrating that uncontrolled, non-thermal electrical and magnetic fields interact directly with living tissue at a cellular level. Living cells maintain delicate electrical potentials governing growth, healing, and communication. Ambient, non-thermal radiation acts as an external disruptor to these networks. Evaluating safety based solely on tissue temperature ignores the primary biological mechanisms through which EMFs cause harm. III. The Bioelectric "Double-Edged Sword" Dr. Becker’s warnings were grounded in clinical success using bioelectricity for tissue regeneration. He pioneered using precise, low-voltage currents to stimulate cellular repair and heal complex bone fractures that would not mend on their own. This breakthrough established a "double-edged sword": 1. **The Beneficial Axis:** Controlled, specific electromagnetic frequencies can positively interface with living tissue to accelerate healing and guide growth. 2. **The Hazardous Axis:** Because biological systems are profoundly sensitive to minute electrical signals, exposure to uncontrolled, ambient electromagnetic fields (from consumer electronics, power lines, and wireless infrastructure) can distort internal signals, causing systemic biological dysfunction. IV. Documented Non-Thermal Pathophysiology HHS must re-examine biological impacts through non-thermal data. In his evaluations, Dr. Becker identified clear physiological disruptions that current wireless standards fail to mitigate, including: * **Serum Triglyceride and Cardiovascular Stress:** Human subjects exposed to low-frequency magnetic fields in controlled trials (Pensacola, FL; Clam Lake, WI) experienced considerable, rapid elevation in serum triglycerides within 24 hours—a verified medical indicator of biological stress and elevated risk for cardiovascular events and stroke. * **Stunted Growth and Stress:** Serving on the first ad hoc committee evaluating military ELF data, Dr. Becker highlighted data proving that exposed animals grew at a slower rate and exhibited systemic markers of chronic physiological stress. V. Mitigating Institutional Bias and Funding Suppression A critical component of this RFI must include an audit of how safety data is evaluated. Dr. Becker documented a systemic pattern where independent scientific projects were terminated and stripped of funding the moment they documented positive biological effects from low-frequency radiation. Furthermore, he cautioned against "pre-biased" oversight panels consisting of individuals who have already publicly committed to the safety of infrastructure, making them structurally incapable of objectively evaluating ambient hazards. HHS must rely strictly on independent science insulated from industry influence. VI. Conclusion and Regulatory Recommendations The proliferation of modern wireless networks has subjected the public to unprecedented, chronic ambient radiation. Dr. Becker’s historic conclusion—that he would not want his family to reside within an active ambient antenna system—remains an urgent warning. We request that HHS: 1. **Move Beyond Thermal Limits:** Establish safety thresholds based on cellular and cardiovascular biomarkers. 2. **Account for Cumulative Exposure:** Revise guidelines to reflect chronic, 24-hour exposure to dense wireless environments. 3. **Fund Independent Bioelectromagnetics Research:** Revitalize federal funding for independent studies exploring long-term impacts on endogenous bioelectric networks. Respectfully submitted, Jason Villeggiante

Please stop the proliferation of 5G, Smart Meters, Dirty Electricity, 5G/Cell Towers. Researcher have documented the harm that's being done on the celluar level and found that 5G being transmitted and received by Smart phones/watches, and Wi-Fi. It's urgent that cities and counties have the ability to to properly oversee wireless, telecommunications—while granting sweeping advantages to industry. There are bills being introduced that wants to rewrite federal law to override and basically steamroll local authority by limiting fees. ALSO tightening shot clocks, and removing reviews under the National Environmental Policy Act and the National Historic Preservation Act for modifying cell towers and wireless sites.
