Reproduction & pregnancy

My name is Staci Howard. I'm 36 years old, but in my late twenties I started experiencing many health issues. I went from a very health wife and mom of two young children, to an anxious, hurting women that couldn't get answers. I saw multiple doctors, they all told me that my labs were great and I was healthy. I wasn't experiencing good health, however. I not only was struggling with mental health struggles like anxiety, panic attacks and depression, I was also having many physical symptoms. I was battling headaches, pain in my leg and arms, flushed cheeks, jaw pain, brain fog, miscarriages, trouble sleeping and other things that would come up here and there. I wasn't getting any answers, my health was getting worse and my husband was concerned. One day I realized that when I was carrying my cell phone in my jean pocket, my leg pain increased. I also noticed that my arm pain and headaches were also worse with cell phone use. I had no idea this could happen, but I reached out to a professional in the holistic health space and she confirmed that it can happen. As we dove into this subject, we looked around our apartment and realized we lived under power lines, above six smart meters, wifi in our apartment and the apartments around us and many cell towers within a short distance from our home. This realization was completely overwhelming and my parents graciously allowed our family to move in with them, they lived rurally and they completely changed their lives around for us. They turned their wifi off, which, interestingly enough, I reacted to when my mom turned the wifi back on without my knowledge. I felt completely drained and defeated, I remember crawling onto the couch overwhelmed, having no idea that she had turned it on and not realizing why I was responding in the way I did. I hardly left their home for a month, I finally started to slowly adventure back out into the world, realizing that places like the church building and the library were toxic to me. My tongue would start tingling, I would get light headed, feel nauseous and have extreme brain fog. We all ended up moving even further from city life, moving to Eastern Oregon where we had more sunshine and less wireless radiation exposure. We don't have wifi in our home, I didn't have a cell phone for over seven year, just recently getting one due to my children being older and me needing to be able to be reached easier. It took over a year until I could sit through an entire church service again, often needing to take breaks and go outside. I still react going into the library, or if I'm at church very long I feel, what we call "wi-fried". Headaches, rosey cheeks, tingling tongue, light headed, brain fog... they are all still realities of being in wireless environments. Having my home base safe, allowing healing is what has allowed me to heal as much as I have, I believe it's why I've also been able to have three more healthy babies. My husband also feels a difference between high wireless spaces and our home, he gets brain fog and headaches as well. It's been a long journey, I'm thankful that I can handle being in the community as much as I do, because I know not everyone can. I "budget" my time, knowing if I have church and a meeting in one week, I may not take my kids to the library that same week... or different things like that. I have missed out on many things, I've had to quit volunteer work because I couldn't handle that much wireless exposure. In my experience, schools are the worst. I had take my son to an event at a local public school and I could hardly stand being in the building. It's my belief that food dye and wireless radiation are the two biggest issues in our schools today, with the behavioral issues we're facing, I firmly believe eliminating wifi and other wireless from schools would help these kids an amazing amount. Thank you so much for looking into this! I believe it will be life changing for so many.

I live beside a cell tower and feel like it has greatly affected my health. The worst of it happening after 5G came to my area. I suffer from the following symptoms and health issues. - Insomnia - Severe anxiety - Ringing in my ears (tinnitus) - Hypothyroidism - Anemia - My body being unable to regulate temperature. I’m excessively hot to the point I feel like my skin is on fire. - High heart rate - Brain fog - Tremors - Full body inflammation - Menstrual cycle changes - Muscle and joint pain - Severe fatigue EMF sensitivity is something that kept coming up when I would google my symptoms. As I started paying more attention I noticed the brain fog, ringing in my ears, fatigue, and joint paint would stop while being away from home for 3-5 days.

Hi, I would like to forward these EMF related articles to you. Germany 1: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/288569900_The_effect_of_electromagnetic_transmitters_on_behavior_of_dairy_cows “Some farmers, however, have reported abnormalities in the behaviour of their cattle since the electromagnetic fields have been established. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the behaviour of cows exposed to a high-frequency electromagnetic field. Investigations were carried out on 29 milk farms with different levels of exposure to an electromagnetic field. All cows were kept in stanchion stables during winter. From May to November, on 8 farms they were also observed on pasture. Farms were grouped according to their electromagnetic exposure levels, and data were compared between groups. Significant differences were found in lying behaviour, daily behaviour profile on pasture and ruminating behaviour, which could be interpreted as the cows’ response to these fields. Findings could be interpreted as chronic stress and show a biological effect of a high frequency electromagnetic field.“ Germany 2: https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/natur/magnetsinn-ueberlandleitungen-stoeren-kuh-kompass-a-613843.html "Overland lines disrupt cow compass Cattle, deer and roe deer are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation. Researchers have found this when evaluating satellite photos. The animals usually graze in a north-south direction. However, near power lines, the orientation is random. The discovery of a magnetic sense in cows and deer caused a stir in the summer of 2008. Scientists at the University of Duisburg-Essen found thatwhen eating, the animals often face north-south. . The phenomenon was discovered in Google Earth images of 308 pastures worldwide. Now biologists Hynek Burda and Sabine Begall have followed up. When cattle and deer graze under a high-voltage line, their internal compass is disturbed, they report in the journal “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences”. If the overhead lines are northwest or southeast, the orientation of the animals was random. However, with east-west running lines there was a noticeable tendency to orientate in an east-west direction. However, the scientists rule out that the animals are visually oriented towards the wires. The new study confirms that the animals had an internal compass, as high-voltage lines also generate an electromagnetic field. Its effects were more clearly visible the closer the animals were to the line." Denmark: https://www.tvsyd.dk/vejen/koerne-drikker-hinandens-urin-nu-vil-gregers-have-erstatning "Gregers Kristensen has been a farmer for over 20 years, and for many months he has had difficulty recognising his cows. They will not drink from the water in the barn. Instead, they drink each other's urine. - This is very unusual. I have never seen this behaviour in animals before, he says. According to Gregers Kristensen, the cows started behaving strangely at the same time as the converter station, which is part of Viking Link, was started up a few hundred metres from the barn. It transmits large amounts of electricity to, among other places, the UK. But according to Gregers Kristensen, there is a leak of electricity from the converter station that ends up in the water in the barn. Therefore, he is convinced that it is the large energy plant that is the cause of the animals' behaviour, which means, among other things, that they will not drink from the water. - I am absolutely sure that there is a connection, he says. - I can see that it has an impact on my animals, and I also think that it has an impact on us humans. That's why I would like this to be investigated thoroughly if such large energy plants are to be built, says Gregers Kristensen." France: https://www.ouest-france.fr/economie/agriculture/des-impacts-des-champs-electromagnetiques-sur-les-elevages-une-etude-tente-dy-voir-plus-clair-117e2896-0d40-11ef-8ec1-43107fb4d6b9 "From June 26 to August 31, 2023, this investigation concerned all breeders in mainland France located within a 2 km perimeter of relay antennas, electrical installations and wind turbines. 2,483 questionnaires were returned, allowing « to understand like never before the situation of exposed farms »." ... Dairy farmers are the most likely to report disturbances to their cows. Among respondents who report problems in their animals, it is farmers located less than 2 km from an antenna who report the most of these problems" "Concerning disturbances, breeders cite behavioral disorders (avoidance of certain places, agitation…), clinical signs (decrease in performance and production, reproduction problems, loss of appetite…) or even mortality of animals. The investigation also reveals a link in the responses between a particular physical characteristic of the soil (presence of water veins, faults, cavities…) and an electromagnetic manifestation."

Question number two: I am a healthcare professional responding as an individual based on my own clinical observations. Question number three: a) All noted forms of exposure except wearables, unless that would include a pacemaker, and occupational equipment. B) The nature of exposure is through common household, business, and individual devices with frequency as per normal daily life. I do question if initial exposure could have been in my workplace of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of the hospital I worked due to onset of adverse symptoms specific to that location and time beginning in 1990, that resolved when those restrictions were removed. Future adverse effects were noted with the growth of prevalence in normal society over the decades. Adverse effects multiplied with increased use of cell phones, including non smart flip versions, proximity to cell towers and use of cellular devise with decrease of symptoms noted with ending call and increasing proximity of both from person, personal devices used in home, places of business and worship. All of theses being experienced from late 1990 to present in increasing degrees. There is one other possible exposure that would date back to the 1970’s and continue to present. Even as a young child I noticed an odd sensation when at a particular home that was adjacent to very large power lines. C). Adverse effects noted are hot and cold temperature variations, an off balance feeling of being pushed, feeling of anger or uneasiness for no reason, hearing high pitched noises in one or both ears, feeling of floor or myself vibrating, not feeling like myself, increased blood pressure during these experiences, tingling of hands and arms, especially when holding a cell phone or iPad with increase noted in association of updates to software where as time to tingling decreased from needing approximately thirty minutes or more exposure to approximately immediate or proximity to a cell tower, electric shocks ranging from minor such as is noted when flipping a light switch to taking my breath away and causing me to scream out, brain fog, fatigue, difficulty sleeping, presyncope to degree of fear with driving my children, increased heart rate and respiratory rate, feeling of needing to flee an area but with no noticeable threat, general chaos feeling inside my body, soreness, inability to move arm or neck, menstrual difficulties, and a particular sensation when near electrical devises that are making a humming sound such as an induction stove top, a surge protector, speaker, electrical panel, and on certain locations of a departing airplane. I cannot say this is an exhaustive list. D). As above and noticeable changes have emerged as exposures have grown with attention to wireless devices, increase of use such as in areas that have more or more powerful devices, during nuclear stress testing, after smart meter installation, this spring after fiber installation on my road, and within five minutes of mammogram. E). Medical evaluation was sought specifically for some of the above symptoms beginning approximately 2007. It was continually dismissed until 2017. At my demand of assessment and treatment, heart block was identified progressing to complete heart block within weeks and resulted in placement of pacemaker. This began an ongoing event of more symptoms with greater severity of some, new ones, with alleviation or improvement of some, including two more surgeries resulting in a complete new pacemaker system being placed at eleven months post initial one. More medical evaluation was sought in approximately 2021 in correlation with an episode of whole body vibration, uneasy increasing to anxiousness, tingling of hand while holding phone, and anger noted with use of flip cell phone as never experienced before. My MD questioned specifically if I knew how close to a cell tower I was as these symptoms increased and culminated. I was able to identify that I was parked within feet of a cell tower and that symptoms subsided once I threw the phone away from my body and drove away as to increasing proximity to tower. Since, I have continued to seek medical care for these symptoms with a renewed emphasis since about 2024 where I noticed an increase in virtually all but particularly the onset of drenching night sweats, sleep disturbance, extreme menstrual abnormalities, and fatigue while staying in an air B n B where there was a loud humming noise every morning at the power meter that was coincidentally on the outside of the wall where I slept. Again, this is probably not exhaustive. F) As noted in E above. G) I have no supporting documentation without securing my medical record.

Re: https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-0001 For the attention of: Victoria Marshall, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health & OASH Executive Secretariat team. Hello Victoria and OASH Executive Secretariat team. Thank you for your immediate reply. I have sent the following on https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-0001 My name is John Harding and I have made a World-First-Discovery-Link, the science community will never find or consider, ever. I am the only person on Planet Earth who can give you the answer you seek regarding EMF, RF and the misinterpreted Schumann-Resonance to why it is the 'trigger-mechanism' for Cancer and other serious illnesses from where you sleep. Why? Elite-academia-education does not teach, use in any research, or allow in any education, 'suppressed' in 1858 (influenced by Christianity-Religion), continuing to the present day, although used by all wildlife daily for survival and by NASA in zero-gravity to keep astronauts alive. Why? A mistake was made from the very beginning Nikola Tesla was aware, that science suppressed, where Winfried Otto Schumann got wrong, although proving essential to human-health, hence using in the International Space Station, (ISS) for over 50 years. Why? Every natural 'invisible' phenomenon has a negative and positive reaction, Schumann-Resonance is no different where NASA use the 'positive' Schumann-Resonance in zero-gravity and wildlife use the 'negative' for survival, specifically domesticated honey-bees that swarm to get away from human interaction to be 'attracted-to' negative Schumann-Resonance every time they swarm. It is for this reason why honeybee colonies are dying in domesticated care, yet wild/feral colonies thrive for many years. It is also the same reason why Wind Turbines kill millions of birds every year, I will explain in more detail when invited. There is a great deal to say I can only explain in person, needing a New International Law only President Donald J. Trump can authorise and sanction through The US Senate and US Congress. I am not computer literate and do not understand how to convert a document into bmp, docx, gif, jpg, jpeg, pdf, png, pptx, rtf, sgml, tif, tiff, txt, wpd to attach a file, explained in my email sent via: OASH RFI Assistance (OS/OASH) oash-rfi@hhs.gov you cannot accept by an outdated protocol policy. I await your invitation to explain in detail, to demonstrate using filmed natural phenomena and filmed wildlife 'mimicking', of the biggest mistake made in human history by not understanding or acknowledging an 'invisible-world' we cannot see, although used by every species on Planet Earth, except one.............Human-elite-academia-education! Please advise on what to do next, because without my knowledge you will never succeed and please remember it takes one person to make a discovery, to produce a New Personal-AI-Protection, built to my design and specifications, sent to all Smart-Technology worldwide, to identify 'Harmful-Schumann-Resonance' (the natural invisible 'trigger-mechanism') to prevent Cancer and other serious illnesses from where you sleep, rest, dine, work if 'in-situ' for hours at a time, or to answer the anomalies of metastasis, miscarriage, still-born and cot-death. The research will save lives and save billions of dollars to the economy, all I ask, is that you read my email message sent. Thank you. Kind regards. John Harding

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 concerned member of the public. Signals from LTE – 4G and 5G transmitters are the same frequency as from a home microwave. People are 24/7 exposed to those signals, it’s like living inside a microwave. I know when I was younger a family in the Netherlands who were living under high voltage transmission lines, the effect was that all their new born children had birth defects. And this is only a frequency of 50/60 Hertz but a huge EMF due to the high voltage and current passing through those power lines. 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.

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 parent, caregiver and a concerned member of the public. My daughter was born with health conditions of unknown origin. I had no understanding of modern EMF, RF, and Wireless Radiation Exposure during my pregnancy or while she was an infant. It took 8 years for a medical professional to come up with a diagnosis. She is highly sensitive to EMF exposure, which we have only recently realized. We are concerned with the cumulative effect all the sources of radiation is on her and our 3 other children. We had a smart meter and had to fight to get that turned off. It's so many places, we aren't even aware of them all and the combined load on our family's health. I know of a friend who lives near a 5G tower and had a normal pregnancy experience, morning sickness, cravings, weight gain, belly growing with no baby living inside the uterus - a ghost baby so to speak, she believes the tower may have caused this. She also experiences headaches and a high pitched ringing sound that her other family members can't hear. Another community member had severe ringing in his ears and crippling headaches while living in the city. He had to move out into the country. Once he did, the headaches stopped. We need more studies to have viable information of risks of EMF exporsure and how to help those most vulnerable and affected by it, especially for the special needs community like my 9 year old daughter. 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.

In 2005 restless leg syndrome developed after sleeping on a bed with a massage unit. My legs had weak nerves due to infantile paralysis (polio myelitis). Evidently the strong electric fields were affecting them. At the same time, due to constant cell phone usage, an abscess developed on the rim of my ear accompanied with heating. It was obvious to only use the speaker phone when using the cellphone. Around 2008, a diagnosis of Crohn's disease based on constant and severe diarrhea was diagnosed by doctors. Knowing my high sensitivity to electromagnetic radiation pollution (EMRP) it was now time to have the electric company come to measure levels at home. The levels were extremely high. Dirty electricity from neighbors systems were grounding to water lines creating an electric pathway through our home due to our clean pathway of our new ground to the water pipes from a new panel and new transformer in the alley behind the house as a perfect route. Blocking the water pipe transmission with a nylon coupling at the street reduced the problem, still my health continued to decline. Throughout the city are hot spots of EMRP. With more towers always being added, avoidance is impossible. By 2012 I had lost forty-five pounds, had no bowel control, exhausted and looking like a holocaust victim. I began preparing to get my things in order. A friend introduced me to a mitigating product that was amazing. It was from Germany and solved my problems at the time verified by no longer diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. By 2018, I had regained my weight and resumed a full schedule of work only to find a new environmental problem. In 2019 street work was in full swing for 5G. As thick wiring and repeater units overhead were rolled out destroying the ambiance of the streets the new 5G wavelength exposure produce a dramatic new change. Walking along the sidewalks my feet would heat up mimicking peripheral neuropathy, yet completely absent when walking in nature. Monitoring EMR and RF radiation levels throughout the city provided the answers. There are peaks and dips which appear to be the result of dirty electricity at ground level, possibly 5G along with strong antennas beneath the sidewalks, wiring and transformers above. Recent measurements at ground level are very threatening. According to building Biology Evaluation Guidelines (AC) for sleeping areas (SBM -2015) for medium frequencies <20 nT, 0 to 20 is low enough to have no impact. The measurements go on 20-100 is slight, 100-500 severe, and >500 extreme. When moving the meter toward the ground it goes up and up until one of the highest measurements is 2350 at sidewalk level. There are peaks and valleys of reading along certain streets consistently in the severe range. This fits an explanation for neuropathic symptoms when walking along streets. Measurements resulted in a zigzag pattern when walking the street to do errands. As of 2020 new EMR pollution from new towers and antennas and the additional 5G infrastructure and satellites forced my evacuation from family and friends to the country. In 2023 the natural electrical grid of the earth seems imperiled with satellite saturation. It seems the visible destruction of tops of trees, reduced insect populations and birds is combined with physiological changes. When visiting the city after three days there is a shrinkage of testicles and loss of weight. That was not occurring before. Now in 2026 even small communities are wired and full of antennas and sensors. To stay healthy mean to be house bound and when out pay the debt of detoxing over several days afterwards. This is not what Nature meant for humanity to endure. The necessities for AI, robotics, and communication are out of hand environmentally and though a millisecond slower communication could be allowed at a fraction of the exposure experienced in this country. Without any doubt, our health is directly affected by many toxic environmental problems. Electromagnetic radiation is the most pervasive! Our entire biological system, and that of the planet Earth, is based upon cellular health and the energy function of the mitochondria which transfer nutrients and waste via water molecules in a gel state that requires electromagnetic wave lengths to function properly. When this extremely sensitive biological act is impacted by our exposure to electromagnetic radiation energy far in excess of normalcy- all hell breaks loose!

Hello, My name is Gloria Frank. My health was horribly harmed when a Smart Meter was installed on my home in March of 2012. Thankfully, the Smart Meter was removed in 2013, and the analog meter was re-installed due to our PUC (Public Utilities Commission) who voted we could choose to have the Smart meter removed. I am a 30 year researcher on all topics regarding health and wellness. When I became harmed, I researched all the prominent websites that were honest and informative on the facts of just how harmful wireless radiation is to the human body, to animals and to the whole world. In 2014 I became and educator, teacher and mentor in which I assist people who were suffering like I was from wireless radiation. In 2013, I hired a Professional EMR (Electro Magnetic Radiation) consultant to teach me how to remove all the wireless radiation from my home, how to shield my home with a shielding paint so my neighbors wireless devices would not harm my health even more.... and my analog meter was re-installed for a very small fee. I am unable to be in close proximity to all wireless devices, and no one is allowed to come into my home with any wireless devices: cell phone, blue tooth, watches, computers,iPads.....and the list goes on. Wireless radiation emits radiofrequency (RF) energy, a type of non-ionizing radiation that current major public health agencies categorize as a possible human carcinogen. Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic) based on an increased risk for brain and heart tumors. Reproductive Health: Studies link frequent trouser-pocket storage of active mobile phones to reduced sperm counts, lower motility, and potential DNA damage.Cellular Stress: Laboratory findings suggest RF exposure can induce oxidative stress and minor biochemical adjustments. Vulnerable Groups: Children absorb higher proportional doses of radiation in head and skull bone marrow tissue compared to adults due to thinner skull bones and developing nervous systems. Effects on Animals and Wildlife Laboratory Studies: Recent systematic reviews backed by health organizations indicate high certainty that long-term, high-intensity wireless RF radiation links to specific tumor types in animals and humans. There is an active community of advocacy groups, specific research institutes, and independent scientists who argue that current exposure guidelines are outdated and that low-level, non-thermal wireless radiation poses biological and environmental risks. The most prominent groups, research entities, and individuals associated with this viewpoint include: Recognized Advocacy & Research GroupsThe Environmental Health Trust (EHT): Led for years by epidemiologist Dr. Devra Davis, Environmental Health Trust publishes literature and campaigns for stricter public policy regarding wireless infrastructure, 5G, and cell phone radiation. They successfully sued the FCC to force a review of its 1996 testing guidelines.The Ramazzini Institute: A respected independent scientific organization based in Italy. Their large-scale animal studies looked at environmental levels of radiofrequency radiation (similar to cell tower emissions) and reported a potential link to certain types of tumors, replicating some findings of the U.S. government's National Toxicology Program (NTP) study.The BioInitiative Working Group: An international collaboration of scientists and public health professionals that published the BioInitiative Report. The report argues that existing safety limits are thousands of times too high to protect against non-thermal biological effects. Navigation and Behavior: Environmental studies report that low-level electromagnetic fields can disrupt the magnetic compass orientation used by migratory bird species.Insects and Ecosystems: Higher frequency bands (including 5G and broadband spectrums) overlap with frequencies that can act as environmental stressors on small insects, causing motor disturbances or behavioral changes. The most important fact is human health globally is being compromised and millions of people are suffering from exposure to Wireless Radiation. ' Thank you, Gloria Frank * Safe technology Educator

After frontier demanded I changed my internet router to their new 5g version, I began suffering from massive uterine fibroids. Within 4 months I looked and felt 8 months pregnant. After 3 years and 2 surgeries, I finally look only a little pregnant.
