A self-described veteran alleges longstanding targeting and institutional mistreatment, refers to Havana …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Good Morning! My names is George A Benavides, Veteran and owner of the National Library For Targeted Individuals a library created for the targeted individuals of this phenomenon we call today Havana Syndrome, Anomalous Health Incidents or Direct Energy Bio effects. I created the library after I was denied due process of the law by the United States Supreme Court in the federal court case Benavides v. Barr see federal court case. I’ve been a victim for over 32 years now in a battle with the United States Department of Veterans Affairs in an attempt to open an investigation as to why I was diagnosed with schizophrenia when they didn’t believe me that this phenomenon was going on. The FBI was also warned along time ago but they neglected to investigate until they began to target and tortured their special agent “Carrie” In Florida and California. I recommend that you review the library and review the evidence it’s beyond a reasonable doubt or the burden of proof that Americans are under attack and have been attacked for over 72 years. In 2001 United States Congressman Dennis Kucinich attempted to give the American people equal protection of the law but was blocked four times from passing the H.R 2977 Space preservation act. Now why would you deny a congressman four times to pass a crime bill when a crime bill generates income for the judicial process? Please review the complainant complaint and allow due process. Thank you and god bless America.

Reports 18 years of electromagnetic sensitivity and refers to an attached personal account and measuremen…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have suffered from EHS for the past 18 years and have attached a file containing my story and recommendations for how EMF should be measured in current and future research. The accumulation of radiation on this planet also makes it impossible to live anywhere safely away from it now and I believe if we continue the way we're going, we are causing a deliberate species extinction event of all life that now exists here. Please see the attached file for the debilitating symptoms I experience from being in the vicinity of wireless frequencies, fluorescent lighting, mobile phones, etc. Thank you.

Proposes an early-life RF exposure and neurodevelopment research protocol, including objective dosimetry …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Subject: Response to RFI HHS-OASH-2026-0397. Early-life electromagnetic field exposure and neurodevelopment: a pathophysiological hypothesis and a prospective cohort protocol. Perspective Physicians and researchers (healthcare professionals; research entity). Source: peer-reviewed research; the published protocol is attached. Observations from research This submission does not report human exposure-effect data; it presents a pathophysiological hypothesis and a protocol to test it [1]. We hypothesize that chronic exposure to anthropogenic electromagnetic radiation during the first 24 months of life, particularly during sleep, may act as a modulating cofactor in the pathogenesis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The hypothesized mechanisms are altered Ca2+/calmodulin signaling, mitochondrial oxidative stress, microglial activation and desynchronization of the mirror neuron system, consistent with the theoretical framework of Resonant Convergence [2]. Within this framework, Ion Cyclotron Resonance and thermomagnetic resonance are candidate transduction hypotheses, not yet validated. We explicitly acknowledge the constraints imposed by thermal noise [3]. The epidemiological objective is independent of the validation of these mechanisms: 1. Primary endpoint: continuous composite score (ESCS, CDI/MSEL, EEG mu rhythm 8-13 Hz). 2. Secondary exploratory endpoint: ASD diagnosis at 24 months (ADOS-2, ADI-R, DSM-5). Analyses use mixed-effects models and Firth regression, adjusted for socioeconomic status, screen time and parental health anxiety. Recommendation: prospective birth cohorts with objective exposure measurement. Knowledge gaps and exposure classification Prospective data on nighttime exposure during the first two years of life are lacking. Beyond SAR and power density, classification should account for low-frequency modulation, the ELF magnetic component, cumulative duration, time of day (sleep) and age of the exposed individual. Exposure assessment We propose integrating environmental RF/ELF measurements, source-proximity analysis, device inventories and wearable dosimetry, with objective verification of adherence to nighttime shielding. Children A differentiated assessment is needed. The 6-18 month window is critical for the maturation of the mirror neuron system and grey matter. During this phase, plasticity depends on calcium-dependent mechanisms and on the temporal precision of neuronal activity. Evidence below current limits In human cortical organoids, chronic RF exposure (800-2400 MHz) altered radial glia differentiation and induced the expression of ASD-associated genes via BET pathways. The effect was reversed by BET inhibition [4]. These are in vitro data, not directly extrapolable to humans, but they support the biological plausibility of the hypothesis. A preliminary study also observed EEG modulation with ELF fields of 20-30 microT at 1-4 Hz [5]. Research priorities Prospective pilot studies with continuous neurodevelopmental endpoints, followed by adequately powered confirmatory trials. We suggest that NIH fund pediatric cohorts with standardized dosimetry and common protocols for measuring infant exposure. Additional information Theoretical framework: [2].

Reports elevated blood pressure, headaches and vision problems after a nearby tower installation, attribu…

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 concerned United States Citizen. The city of Royston put this tower up some months back and for the last three to four months I personally have been having issues with my blood pressure. More specifically the diastolic number. At times it will surpass 100 while the systolic number will remain in the 120-130 range. I've recently purchased and EMF protection and placed it in a central location of our house. It seems to help as my blood pressure now seems normal when I'm in my house. However when I go outside or down to help my husband in the shop behind the house I can feel the blood pressure quickly begin to elevate. My eyes get sore and I have trouble with vision and my head will begin to hurt. So I feel the frequency or the radiation from this tower is most likely the cause of my sudden issues with maintaining stable blood pressure. 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 self-described retired radiology professor criticizes FCC and FDA oversight and requests HHS priority a…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I've been investigating the health hazards of wireless radiation since 1988 as a former member of the Safety Committee of the Society for MRI and the Non-Ionizing Advisory Committee of the NC Radiation Protection Commission, as well as a retired Associate Professor of Radiology from Duke University Medical Center. The FCC is a captured agency that has granted the telecom industry unrestrained access to the rollout of 5G and other forms of wireless radiation while ignoring 30+ years of scientific evidence of harms. They have not implemented the mandate to reevaluate exposure standards that resulted from the 2021 lawsuit from CHD and EHT. The FDA has also failed in its job to protect the public from EMF radiation. Please make these issues a priority of HHS moving forward.

Claims a correlation between Australian COVID exposure locations and nearby 5G towers, links a personal F…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
During the covid scamdemic at the hieght of the hoax, when in Australia they had lock downs. I undertook a personal task. While every day the govt was issuing the location of "covid exposure site" and was announcing that they could not figure out why these "exposure sites" were located where they were. I , knowing that many hundreds of 5G towers were erected during the lock downs, undertook to do some correlation work. This work showed a very clear and significant correlation between the govt listed "covid exposure sites" and their proximity to a 5G tower. And although correlation does not prove causation, we can use this evidence (along with the fact that the SARS-CoV-2 virus has been proven to not exist and has not been shown to be isolated via ANY valid scientific method) and hence this data is rather valid and useful to help show that the effect of 5G tower emissions most probably was the real reason why many people become sick during this period.

Reports symptoms near home-office equipment and improvement after unplugging devices, explicitly acknowle…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Re: Docket HHS-OASH-2026-0397 — Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure Questions addressed: 2, 3, 8, 9, 11, 16, and 18 I am submitting this comment as a concerned member of the public based on my personal experience and concerns regarding EMF exposure. I began noticing significant fatigue, headaches, anxiety, heart palpitations, and brain fog while working at the computer in my home office. My desktop computer, cell phone, and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth printer were all located very close to me. After purchasing a consumer EMF detector, I observed elevated readings near several devices, with the highest readings near my printer. I began unplugging my printer except when needed and unplugging my computer after use. After making these changes, I noticed an improvement in my symptoms. I recognize that my personal experience does not establish causation, but it raised important questions for me about prolonged, real-world exposure to multiple EMF sources. I encourage HHS to study not only individual devices in isolation, but also environments where people are exposed to multiple EMF sources for extended periods. This is particularly important to me because the City of Columbia, Missouri, has proposed the 161-kV Grindstone-to-Perche Creek transmission line, including a potential Vawter School Road corridor. The proposed infrastructure would pass through developed residential areas and near places used by children, including Mill Creek Elementary School and its playground and Cale School. I respectfully ask HHS to include 60-Hz extremely low-frequency (ELF) electric and magnetic fields from high-voltage transmission lines in its EMF research and review, particularly regarding children and long-term exposure. I am especially concerned about the complete EMF environment of a school near high-voltage transmission infrastructure. Modern classrooms may contain Wi-Fi access points, laptops, tablets, Bluetooth devices, wireless printers, cell phones, electrical wiring, lighting, and other electronic equipment. If a school is also near high-voltage transmission lines, children may experience multiple types and frequencies of electromagnetic fields throughout the school day and over many years. I recognize that ELF fields from transmission lines and RF emissions from wireless technology are different and cannot necessarily be combined into a single exposure number. However, children experience these sources together in the real world, and I believe HHS should investigate whether simultaneous, repeated, and long-term exposure to multiple EMF sources and frequencies has health implications. For new high-voltage transmission projects near homes and schools, I ask HHS to consider recommending: * Public disclosure of modeled 60-Hz magnetic-field levels at various distances from proposed transmission lines; * Modeling based on actual conductor configuration and expected average and peak electrical loads, not voltage alone; * Modeling or measurements at nearby homes, schools, classrooms, and playgrounds; * Baseline measurements before new lines are energized and follow-up measurements after construction; and * Additional research on long-term ELF exposure and combined real-world EMF environments, particularly for children. I am not asserting that these exposures cause specific health effects. I am asking HHS to investigate these questions rigorously and provide families, schools, and communities with clear, evidence-based information about long-term and multiple-source EMF exposure.

Describes using a meter to reduce a child’s exposure and requests accurate information, choice and resear…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
We know there are deleterious health effects to EMFs. I have a meter so I could test my home environment and reduce what my son was exposed to growing up, and things are much worse now, and we are not given accurate information or choice in the matter which has to change. Please protect our children! Thank you for taking an honest look at all the research - FINALLY. Also, LEDs are also disrupting the EMF of our bodies - their takeover of everything from building hallways to headlights needs to be reevaluated. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE NEW HHS IS DOING!

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
RE: Request for Information (RFI) on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure Docket No: HHS-2026-19252 To the Department of Health and Human Services, As a resource in the consumer wellness and holistic health space, we are submitting this response to express support for a formal Request for Information. In our day-to-day work engaging with health-conscious individuals and community members, we observe a significant and growing consumer demand for clear, objective, and transparent data regarding daily environmental exposures. Evaluating the realities of cumulative, real-world exposure over time is critical. Today’s consumers live in environments vastly different from those of past decades, interacting continuously with cell phones, Wi-Fi networks, smart infrastructure, and emerging wireless technologies. Our community members express a persistent desire to make informed, proactive lifestyle decisions. However, they are frequently met with conflicting public reports and a lack of accessible, independent scientific consensus regarding long-term, non-thermal exposures. The following priorities should remain central to any federal inquiry: * Prioritizing Independent Research: Funding and elevating rigorous, independent scientific studies that distinguish verified science from emerging findings without commercial or industrial bias. * Accessible Public Data: Translating complex data into clear, accessible guidelines so that everyday citizens, parents, and community members can accurately evaluate real-world exposure metrics. * Focus on Cumulative Impact: Thoroughly investigating the long-term impact of multi-device exposures on developing children and sensitive demographics to ensure public safety margins are genuinely protective. Providing the public with transparent answers and robust, independent data is essential for individual health and well-being. We look forward to seeing the objective findings of this inquiry made fully transparent to the American public. Respectfully submitted, Growing Healing LLC Team
