ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I feel irritated by my phone when it is not in airplane mode. I feel pain in my hands when I hold it. When standing near a cell phone tower, like at the local park, I feel a headache come on that goes away once I'm out of the area.

Describes costly household mitigation and uncertainty about whether family cancers, migraines, sleep issu…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Good morning - I am pleased that EMF and RF and Wireless exposure is being addressed. Our family decided to try to mitigate our exposure on our own because it didn’t seem like the gov’t or tech industry was motivated to address this. With so many unknowns and the exposures increasing every year, we are frustrated about the expense of trying to block, prevent, rewire, our home from things we never asked for. Maybe it isn’t a health threat, maybe it is - we just feel we would rather try to be safer (safe is not an option anymore) than sorry later. We have had family members with cancer, migraines, sleep issues, and neuropathy over the past decade and cannot help but wonder if there is a correlation because none of us smoke, drink, or have sedentary lives, or have a family history of these health issues. We eat organic foods when possible, try to limit plastic usage and stay on top of regular check ups and blood panel testing. Please help families likes ours who would prefer to have choices rather than costly mitigations expenses.

A British family reports severe symptoms after a base-station upgrade, describing them as Havana syndrome…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
This comment is written for and on behalf of our family of three adults in Britain (UK). We became interested in the subject of the biological effects of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) when our lives changed in an instant after a base station (cell tower) was 'upgraded' in January 2019. We are commenting as this is the first invitation to bring our collective experiences to a government department that is prepared to listen to first-hand accounts of the real cost to people who are injured by over-exposure to wireless technology, then ignored and ridiculed. There is also a huge environmental cost from the damage caused to the natural world from rising EMR emissions which is also being ignored. This is why we are grateful and thankful for the opportunity to raise these issues with the HHS. Since the early hours of 17 January 2019, we quickly discovered that we were all suffering from severe 'Havana Syndrome' effects such as head-bursting tinnitus, nosebleeds, numbed limbs, brain fog, inability to speak fluently, copper taste in the mouth, heart palpitations and insomnia. Our lives are wrecked after years of trial and error in coping and managing an invisible invasion which fluctuates at any moment, whilst being effectively silenced by every government agency and department. We were on our own and that's when we researched the subject, which is ongoing. Due to EMR Syndrome (the recent renaming of the condition), employment, socialising and use of any public facility is almost impossible. We all have microwave hearing, which is 24/7and everywhere we have visited (even in the middle of woodland). Our relatives, friends and neighbours think we have lost our minds. The relentless wireless bombardment has taken its toll mentally, as we have had to deal with extreme life-changing events which mean we have a home that is essentially unliveable in, even though a lot of money has been spent on shielding/mitigation through the advice of a building biologist. Through the years of research, we have discovered a systematic approach of denial from those bodies who do know about the biological effects of all living things from EMR, but hold onto the outdated regulations and limits to enable a world of 'wireless connectivity'; long-planned. The International Commission on the Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields (ICBE-EMF) summarises the situation from the perspective of the FCC and ICNIRP. CITATION: International Commission on the Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields (ICBE-EMF), (2022). Scientific evidence invalidates health assumptions underlying the FCC and ICNIRP exposure limit determinations for radiofrequency radiation: implications for 5G. Environ Health. Oct 18;21(1):92. From observations and experiences online communicating with many other similar sufferers and interested parties, we hope that the HHS will take advice from research free from industry influence to bring about meaningful and sustainable levels of EMR/EMF compatible with all life on Earth. Organisations such as the WHO, the UN, the ITU and the IEEE must be made to comply, as the obsession with total wireless connectivity of everything (including humans) has to end and not be allowed to be resurrected, ever. In conclusion, our family has suffered in an electromagnetic prison which is impossible to escape from; we see the environmental destruction from these unnatural frequencies escalating, along with ill-health and injury in populations, as 'wireless connectivity' is encouraged and pursued by governments. Decades of research is available and needs to be front and centre in decision-making, along with the more recent emergence of 'gold-standard science' which will help to close the gaps in knowledge. This is a worldwide problem which needs to be reversed to end the pollution and suffering.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I experience bad effects from radiation exposure. Mostly from masts that emit radiation. But also from wifi and mobile phones. I get tension in the brain, are more depressive, less focused, cognitive impact, headache, a feeling of stress all the time and restlessness. I have titan implants in my body which might increase illness.

Reports a relative’s headaches following router installation and perceived improvement after using commer…

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 family member of individuals affected by EMFs and as a concerned member of the public. Soon after we installed a wireless router and related devices in our home, a family member started experiencing severe headaches. Based primarily on the timing of the issue, we chose to add EMF negating devices on all of the powerfully emitting appliances in our home. There are hundreds of firms offering these devices, but we ended up purchasing from PureVibranz. I believe that the primary source causing the headaches was the wireless router, though there could have been a cumulative effect from exposure to multiple sources. Once the Electromagnetic radiation was neutralized, my family member's headaches ceased. The public needs to know that this technology is not benign, and that there are simple measures that can restore health if issues do arise. A minimal amount of research reveals that a significant portion of the population may react in negative ways to EMFs and RF radiation exposure; this is an important area for research and education given how integral these technologies are to our society. 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 the public with an opportunity to be finally be heard on this critical public health issue.

Reports about 15 years of ear pain, migraines, vertigo, tinnitus, cognitive symptoms and fatigue associat…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
For approximately 15 years I have experienced earaches, migraines, dizziness, a persistent left-temple sick or “rotting” sensation, vertigo, intermittent tinnitus, brain fog, nausea, and fatigue. Over the years this has gotten worse from what I believe is stronger signals and more devices in my environment, through personal observation, conversations with others, and systematic trial and error, I have come to associate these symptoms with exposure to cell phones, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other wireless devices. I have found that increasing distance from these sources and wearing a headset that specifically covers my left ear makes a substantial difference in how I feel. I am submitting a detailed Master Evidence Document (attached as PDF) that compiles scientific studies, the 2021 federal court ruling, reviews, and my personal observations regarding possible neurological and vestibular effects associated with RF-EMF exposure. I respectfully request that this information be considered as part of the agency’s review.

Reports improvement in sleep, cognitive and cardiovascular symptoms after replacing wireless connections …

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 an individual whose life has been altered significantly from exposure to wireless non ionizing radiation. About ten years ago, I suffered from a variety of symptoms that were increasingly challenging... all of which were assumed as a result of aging or unexplained. I had severe dry eyes, insomnia, fast heart beat, irregular heart beat, high blood pressure, multiple pulmonary embolisms ,flaming red skin on cheeks, increasingly difficulty with memory, word retrieval and very foggy brain among other things. We metered our home and removed all sources of wireless while keeping technology through hard wired connections. My health drastically improved immediately. Also, a plant that sat in our kitchen window for one year suddenly grew 15 inches in two months. That's when others paid attention. It was clearly not just me but I feel the impact from it. The plant just survived and now was thriving. My doctor referred to me as "the canary in the coal mine". I contacted officials and one state rep of my district listened and wrote NH HB522 in 2019. That bill passed and became the first in the nation to investigate the health effects from wireless and the importance of education on simple things to do to make technology safer. However, any effort to educate the public and legislate safe protections for citizens has been squashed politically. It's not right. Wireless is everywhere, buses, planes, cars, restaurants, hotels, schools, cities, hospitals, you name it. It makes it nearly impossible to live a "normal" life for those like myself who are not seen. Our children and grandchildren are the first to live their entire lives engulfed in this wireless toxin. It's unconscionable that we do not protect our children. We all need technology today but we do NOT need it propagated to the extent that it is without any option to avoid it, other than to remain in our homes...and that is if you are fortunate enough to not have a cell tower or a 5g tower near your home. Thankfully, I am retired as working in that environment would be impossible for me. 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.

A public-health advocate reports perceived sensitivity, headaches, arrhythmia and social restrictions and…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Submitted by: Beverly A. Jensen, Ph.D. Organization: 10 Million Moms for Safer Telecom 1. Who I Am I am Beverly A. Jensen, Ph.D., a public health specialist with a doctoral degree in Communication from the University of Washington (1987) and over 30 years managing public health campaigns. I am the founder of 10 Million Moms for Safer Telecom, a national mother-led movement to protect children from wireless radiation. The number 10 million is near the 3% that can shift culture and drive safer regulations. I operate KidsandEMF.com and WomensMedicineBowl.com, a science and policy resource since 2003. These comments represent my professional perspective, my lived experience, and the concerns of families I have worked with since 2019. 2. What I Have Observed I am both a public health specialist and an individual with documented adverse health effects from EMF exposure -- mirroring what hundreds have reported to me. 2019 -- Onset of EMF Sensitivity: In early 2019, walking in Washington, D.C., I experienced immediate skin burning near a concealed cell tower, after three months at four feet from a router 8-10 hours/day. In Seattle I measured a router at 297,000 uV/m -- far exceeding the Building Biology guideline of 1,000 uV/m for sleeping areas. Shielding it dropped radiation 97% while WiFi remained functional. A warning label could have prevented years of exposure. July 2020 -- Neurological Symptoms: I experienced severe headaches -- my first in 72 years. An ER MRI confirmed a fully healthy brain. Headaches correlated with high-RF environments and resolved when I left them. No practitioner questioned the environmental variable. Six years later, that is still true. February 2023 -- Cardiac Arrhythmia at 36K feet: Aboard a Lufthansa red-eye with active WiFi, I experienced serious cardiac arrhythmia. No exertion or stress was involved. I required PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field) intervention twice during the eight-hour flight. Cardiologists had found no structural cause; RF exposure was never investigated. RF is well documented to amplify in enclosed metal containers as devices search for signal. This deserves serious federal attention. What Mothers Are Reporting: Headaches beginning when schools installed WiFi. Sleep disruption resolving when routers were turned off. A 5-year-old with a cardiac event leaving a school yard with a cell tower -- now with permanent brain damage. An 11-year-old needing retina surgery with no prior screen safety guidance. Families in buildings with 140+ networks have fewest options. I exclude myself from most social events due to RF exposure. These symptom clusters -- headaches, tinnitus, sleep disruption, anxiety, fatigue, cardiac arrhythmia -- are consistent across thousands of families worldwide. The medical system fails to investigate. The independent science is in the attached Research Brief. 3. What I Am Asking HHS to Do - Update RF exposure limits to reflect post-1996 science, protecting children in schools, hospitals, and elder care - Fund independent research on long-term, cumulative RF exposure -- not industry-funded studies - Require Safe Use directions and distance labels at point of sale for all wireless devices - Establish a federal clearinghouse for RF-associated health symptom reporting - Coordinate with FCC on minimum-distance rules for cell infrastructure near schools and healthcare facilities - Require warning labels on all wireless devices - Commission a systematic review of electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) as a recognized condition - Introduce RF monitoring and mitigation standards to OSHA for workplace protection - Establish federal oversight of the proliferation of embedded wireless transmitters in consumer products -- including children's toys, infant equipment, and smart home systems -- where no agency regulates their inclusion and no consumer consent is required 4. Why Mothers Are the Right Constituency The movements that produced lasting change -- lead paint, tobacco, drunk driving, car seats -- were driven by mothers who refused preventable harm. 10 Million Moms for Safer Telecom supplies that same political will around wireless radiation. We are building toward the 3% social tipping threshold. I urge HHS to treat this RFI as the beginning of a sustained policy process. The mothers of America are watching and will hold this administration accountable. Respectfully submitted, Beverly A. Jensen, Ph.D. Founder, 10 Million Moms for Safer Telecom www.KidsandEMF.com www.WomensMedicineBowl.com

Alleges repeated attacks using pulsed frequencies and a scalding device, reporting loss of consciousness,…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
#1, I was hit with pulses that knocked me out in the street .Hitting my lungs. Sliding down a car hood I sat down hard fell backwards and hit my head. Bump,, bleeding,, Heidi Pearson helped me up after 15-20 minutes struggling to regain consciousness and control.Chris was witness. This was done by Mike Lane for Judy Silva ,knight templer catholic church ,she believes holocaust was a good thing because the Jews killed Jesus. I had told her I was athiest to stop her proslytyzing . After that I was targeted by her,Judys MO is to act femme fatal to have others help in her defense of her false targeted accusations.I called officer Holloway 2 days later when I regained composure. The report was poorly written, I had no proof except my word. Heidi Pearsons and Chris as witnesses. I did not pass out ,I was pulsed out by frequencies. #2, I was entering my apt at the top of the stairs I was hit with a strong frequency, I fell to the floor totally unconcious.After 15 minutes I started coming around and sat up,I was hit again by these pulses I was right in front of Caroline Cennamis door. I know she was watching as she always does through her peep hole. I wondered how it was known I sat up and was hit again,knocking me down again for another 15 minutes. I then gained consciousness and crawled to my door. No one saw me through the window as I crawled. Later I checked timelines and Angela and Don who had stood outside her cars open doors immedietly left and both went home as I shut my door. How did Angela and Don know I had entered my apt? When to precisely leave.? The next morning Caroline and Angela had a 15 minute conversation out front crossed the street had another conversation Angela went home Caroline to laundry. I didnt call police afraid they would take me to hospital if I mentioned pulsed frequencies as happened a couple of years past. I told the shrink I was Havana Syndrome 8 days evaluation Don and Angela have Active Denial scalding device. He demanded at her urging I pay them rent to live here.I refused he asked for six months,I refused. I was s added each time ,Brock Thomas a handler gave given this device to Angela, the last snowstorm of early 2026 ,Angela was working,Brock was out shoveling snow in front of his apt. Don was in his apt. Downstairs alone. He did not know how to start the ADS scalding device..He left his apt. At night still snowing very cold. Don walked down to Brock spoke a few words came back entered his apt. Brock followed 2 minutes later. Brock left was on the front porch as Don started the ADS and started scalding me ,I started loudly moaning when Don finally stopped... The above incident in the hall has left me with accelerated cataracts and a hole through my left retina.My 2 docs refuses to state what I told them. I asked for copies from both only received one.Im sure my esophagus is deformed, as well as my stomach. Constant pulses in the morning is a common ailment of female targets causing urinary tract infections to impose meds on targets.I was told by medical urinary tract infections now are diagnosed as mentally unstable thought processes.

A self-described healthcare professional argues that external fields disrupt endogenous energy fields and…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Docket (HHS-OASH-2026-0397) I’ve been following the research on EMF radiation for over 10 years and it never ceases to astonish me, and at the same time disturbing, how the rollouts continue one after the other without any regard for human lives, animal life and the environment being destroyed to mine for these materials to make technologies that claim to be cleaner and greener. Far too long overlooked and of equal importance, is the human energy field and it’s role in maintaining health and vitality and what role foreign energy fields play in disrupting this health, vitality from the interactions of natural endogenous and foreign energy fields. We have been incrementally and systematically separated from the Earth’s natural energy fields with shoes that are not compatible, toxic clothing and other disconnects contributing to increased acute disorders and chronic illnesses. Our society has been selling us biologically incompatible goods for quite some time now. As an individual with lived experience and a healthcare professional I didn’t realize the impact until I started to experience symptoms. I began reducing all sources EMF in my home at the time instinctively before I had symptoms because it just felt right based on the reasearch. It wasn’t until after moving from a low EMF area to a high EMF area did my body system experience a type of shock, seizure like activity and development of ME/CFS, dysautonomia, migraines almost on a daily basis, carbohydrate intolerance, anxiety and chronic pain. I now know there are millions of others out there like me who are suffering daily by the continuous overabundance of towers/base stations, smart phones, laptops, wifi, electric & hybrid cars and smart meters and yet for the severe, these services and devices are their only connection to the outside world but what if, they are unknowingly worsening their symptoms and preventing recovery? We shall see in the forthcoming citations in this comment. ....... Complete paper with citations attached
