It is strongly suspected that regularly carrying a cell phone in one's back pocket results in colon cancer because of the radiation associated with your cell phone constantly checking for the closest cell tower when the phone is on. You would think the cell phone companies would only start checking for the closest tower when you make a call. See study below. Colon and rectal cancers – often called colorectal cancers – are the third most common cancers and the second leading cause of deaths from cancer across the globe.1 While they are usually found in older people, younger people have been increasingly affected over recent decades. Recently researchers suggested that this might have something to do with where people carry their mobile phones. In a paper presented at the 36th Annual Conference of the International Society of Environmental Epidemiology, De Kun Li reported the results of a study he and his team conducted on 100 volunteers. In it, he looked at the link between carrying a mobile phone below the waist and people’s risks of colorectal cancer.2 The results showed a clear association. People with the most hours of carrying mobile phones below their waists had over four times the risk of early onset colorectal cancer compared to people with the least hours. People who carried their mobile phones on the same side of their body on which their tumour was located had over 12 times the risk of early onset colorectal cancer. By contrast, people who carried their mobile phones on the opposite side of the body from the tumour had just over one and a half times the risk of early onset colorectal cancer. ‘A longer duration of cellphone carrying below the waist is associated with an increased risk of EOCRC [early onset colorectal cancer],’ the researchers said. They pointed out that carrying a mobile phone in a pocket causes ‘extensive exposure’ of the colon and rectum to radiofrequency radiation. How could this affect the body? The authors say that epithelial cells of the intestine are extremely sensitive to this radiation. For years, researchers have been advising men not to carry mobile phones in their pockets to avoid irradiating their testes, given the…

EMF and RF dangers are scientifically documented. There are a lot of health issues that get ignored as the general public tends to not be concerned about what they can't see. You, as an organization, have the ability to view all the studies. More importantly, you have the ability to do something about it. Please move to action to protect the people of America. Thank you.

Radio frequency radiation is lethal yet you don't update the microwave exposure since 1996.

I suspect the RF from towers and my smart meter are giving me headaches, Especially by buildings i go to which have a tower adjacent to them.

Stop the 5G radiation, it’s hazardous to human health and all of life including our beloved honeybees

1996 is a long time ago, you need to do serious testing and include testing from other western country’s in your results. There have been many studies over several years and all seem to indicate a serious health concern. Stop talking to and taking money from lobbiests and update the actual science behind it. No 6G until the results are confirmed, considered and included in a national congressional document and voted on in the people’s health and best interest. Also, consideration of the property values that are decimated by having a cell tower in your area. You have to ask why they won’t put one next to schools or fire stations?!

Hello! Ever since the 5G went live and a new cell tower went up near our house, I have had ringing in my ears and continuous ringing in my left ear along with a tingling feeling within my body. I’ve been to an ENT several times and they just diagnose it as sensory tinnitus. The faint tingling feeling, I’ve been to a chiropractor thinking they could help since my other docs have ignored the feeling I have, but the faint tingling continues. Too coincidental since the 5G going live and these issues happening at approximately the same time. And when dominion energy decided to change out our meter to a digital meter without our approval and notification that it was changed out, I started having a hard time with feeling tired and heaviness within the body when waking even after sleeping 7-9 hours, which continues to this day. The meter is close by on the outside wall of our garage, which is near where we sleep on the 2nd floor. Every time we are away, the tiredness and tingling subside quite a bit, but continues again once home after a day or 2. As the years go by the continuous buzzing/ringing in ear seems to get louder. I feel the difference in myself since 5G and the digital meters being installed. Some people are more sensitive to this than others. We should have had a choice to keep our old meter, which was working just fine. These are just a few things I’ve noticed for myself and I am sure there are many others who are sensitive to it as well. Thank you for taking the time to listen to some of us and hopefully there can be some recognition that it does bother many and many that don’t realize it as of now. Sadly, we sound crazy to others who don’t listen and think about what actually can be happening. Thank you again!

I am an electric engineer that visits high EMF areas regularly for work. Most of the sites have signage that states “radio frequency hazard” or similar warnings.

I believe the excess exposure may have lead to cognitive issues, and possibly had an effect on my immune and nervous systems.

My vaccine injured military son was not only injured back in 2015, but also injured by Covid. Covid, as we know is a cover up from microwave radio frequencies (5G, 6G)

We know from Jesse Beltran, Carol Maranatha & from the Movie “Human antenna” are the self assembling nanotech from the hydrogels & graphene in the Covid shots. These are found in everyone’s bodies vaxxed & unvaxxed.

From what I’ve researched all military are with these nanotech ( even back in 2015) thus allows our government to track & find anyone anywhere. They can shut down your brain, mind control & give you new memory sets as well as erase memory sets. My son in February of this year was in a coma for 10 days after he was beamed (Havana syndrome) by this neurowarfare - using 5 & 6G.

I became EMF sensitive in 2015 while living in San Francisco. I drastically had to adjust my life, and now must sleep/live in the woods to maintain my health. As long as I sleep in low/no EMF environments, my body is able to recharge enough to still occasionally work and visit in cities. However, sleeping in EMF hot zones, surrounded by Wi-Fi, towers, routers, etc, drains my mitochondria and inhibits the body’s nightly rejuvenation, leading to me feeling completely drained, exhausted, and suffering chronic fatigue, digestive problems, migraines, brain fog, and symptoms of fibromyalgia. I’ve studied this subject for over a decade, and highly recommended Arthur Firstenberg’s book “The History of Electricity,” for an educational deep dive, and the documentary “Beings of Frequency.” Our biology is not solely regulated by chemical processes- light (including non visible) is a vital component, and the synthetic non-native EMF light depletes our cellular health drastically. Honestly this elephant in the room in the underlying catalyst for so many chronic health conditions in the US.

Please stop endorsing more 5g, Starlinks, wireless communications, SMART everything. It’s literally killing people’s health, and sometimes their lives. Please preserve off grid, virgin spaces, and please invest in EMF safe places, towns, housing, etc. As a refugee, we need safe places to exist.

I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. We need to stop the suppression of the truth about wireless and EMFs. Our bodies are electrical and ARE impacted by EMFs. We need to investigate and let people know what is happening.

I am responding from the perspective of a individual and a wellness coach.

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 mother and person who is effected by EMR. Too much exposure stops my family from sleeping and healing. I have to turn everything off at night and NEVER use Bluetooth on my phone or other devices. If not, we cannot sleep and become ill. I see how it affects my children's behavior as well.

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 can say for certain that in the presence of emf it affects my hearing and the way my skin feels. Much like a blood pressure episode can cause skin tingles.

Once I spaced my self from them and used elements to ground myself while I sleep my puffy skins spots stopped and I felt less tingles.

I don't know the long term effects but if short term can cause this I really think we need to examine and research what it does and how to best design infrastructure to mitigate harmful effects while being able to use these new technologies and that is easier now than later when they are more prevalent in the world around us than they already are.

Beginning of five k erra would have been 2019 before COVID. There was a new tower up at kinkaid I remember going to a biathlon race night under the thing I was so wound up I couldn't race. That day previously I had been working across from West High wear there is another large antenna on the school.( I hope asd is being paid for this) .I was working in a home. A metal trailor. With wooden add on. the owner had a wireless device in one area an alexe and the other side an echo . I was folding towels by a bed when I felt distinct vibrations comming from the school. I bet we were 2000meters away. The client had described this to me before. I was about 47 and was in tip top shape and healthy. I still am it is hard to stay away from. Technologies. I notice more when I have a high acidic level. For my PH Or I am not Grounded. I had a different encounter in Indiana in the morning running in a neighborhood right across from a tower. After running several minutes I had to stop was immediately dry at the mouth and parched. I previously had not had any Diabetic symptoms like dry mouth. These two incidents led me to research of Havana disease or reaction. I did not seek any treatment.

I am responding to HHS's request for personal experiences with RF/EMF exposure and for input on disclosure, exposure standards, and research priorities. I am writing as an individual and as a husband and father in a household of five, including three children. I am a Navy veteran who served as a Hospital Corpsman, and I now work in technology, so I am comfortable with the devices involved and with tracking my own physiological data. What follows is based on personal experience and my own wearable data, not on clinical research. I first noticed a problem in 2008 while using a wireless gaming controller. Gaming sessions consistently left me feeling unwell, and only after that pattern repeated did I search online and find that other people were describing similar reactions. The symptom came before I had any idea that others were reporting it. I likely had been affected before that point without recognizing the cause. The effect I experience is a stressed, overactivated nervous system. I track this with an Oura ring. With Wi-Fi present, my deep sleep drops from more than an hour per night to about 30 minutes, and my average heart rate variability falls steadily from 50 to 60 ms to the high 20s or low 30s. When this stress persists, I get sick more often and my mood becomes less stable. In heavy Wi-Fi environments my sleep is affected that same night, and I often become dizzy to the point of needing to lie down. In 2008, we removed Wi-Fi from our home. I felt noticeably calmer almost immediately. Over the following [weeks/months], my children argued and fought much less, and my wife's frequent migraines stopped and her mood stabilized. Removing the router was not enough. Many household products contain Wi-Fi or Bluetooth radios that transmit continuously or keep searching for a connection even when they are not in use, and most give the owner no way to turn them off. To get our home to a low exposure level, I had to physically remove the wireless chips from our television, garage door opener, gaming consoles, and remote controls. Most households could not do this, and most people would not know these devices are transmitting at all. Based on that experience, I…

I am a mother of three children. My middle child, has autism. When I was pregnant with him, I slept in a room with the WiFi router right next to my bed for my entire pregnancy. My son also slept in a bassinet in the same room near this WiFi router for the first year of his life. At the time I had no idea the negative effects of emf on the body and brain. I think research should look into how emf impacts a developing fetus and a child’s brain in the first year of life. I’m not sure whether this contributed to my sons autism, but if there is a link to autism it should be studied so future families know the risks.

The research gaps I see all relate to this administration ignoring and even suppressing science. Asking the public for wild uninformed conspiracy theories will not protect anyone's health around EMF.

At about 43 minutes into this video Dr. Gerald Pollack talks about how it is possible that EMF has influence on EZ water. He mentioned an unpublished study with a person that was behind it who has gone missing. And that it is possible they can try reproduce it. EZ water is suspected of giving our cells energy. If EMF has influence on EZ water it may be a mechanism for how it influences humans and other life forms. I encourage you to watch the whole 1 hour video. I highly recommend it.

Here is the description from the video link as well as a description of Dr. Gerald Pollack.

"Most biology textbooks treat the water in our body as background, a solvent that DNA and proteins float around in. But what if a large portion of the energy in our body is actually coming from the water in our cells? And what if a disturbance to the structure of that water is a hallmark of cancer and other diseases?

Dr. Gerald Pollack is a Professor of Bioengineering at the University of Washington and one of the few scientists studying what water is actually doing inside our cells. He says water is not the background, it is doing the work. It is a battery, and it is supplying us energy."

I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure.

I am responding from the perspective of a [patient, parent, family member, caregiver, healthcare professional, researcher, advocate, concerned member of the public, or other].

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

I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence.

I urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health.

FCC writing about SAR values. https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/specific-absorption-rate-sar-cell-phones-what-it-means-you "Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) For Cell Phones: What It Means For You" French SAR website ANFR. https://www.anfr.fr/en/maitriser/radio-equipment/specific-absorption-rate-sar/sar-measurement-results "To better inform consumers, ANFR continuously publishing the results of SAR measurements performed since 2012 in open data format as part of its mission to control public exposure to electromagnetic waves and monitor the market. Three types of checks are out performed to assess device compliance “head SAR” measurement covering the use of the phone against the ear, during voice calls. They show that, except for one phone, these SAR values have always been compliant with applicable regulations, i.e. less than 2 W/kg. “trunk SAR” measurements are used whene when the phone is carried near the body, for example in a jacket or a clothes pocket or a bag. The maximum value defined by regulation is 2W/kg but this value is associated with a separation distance between the device under test and the body. For mobile phones, the "trunk" SAR is assessed at a distance of 5 mm for all 6 faces.. “limb SAR" measurements , which correspond to the phone being held against a limb, for example, worn in an armband or in a trouser pocket and held in the hand. The maximum value defined by regulation is 4W/kg. For mobile phones, the "limb" SAR is assessed in contact for all 6 faces. ANFR started checking the “trunk SAR” in 2012, considering the new uses for phones relating to the recommendations to use earphones and relating to data exchange (mobile internet, MMS, etc.). At the time when the European R&TTE directive 1999/5/EC was applicableallowed manufacturers to choose a separation distance of between 0 and 25 mm to measure trunk SAR. This variable distance, was not always mentioned in documentation to users, making control more complex. The preparation of a new directive was opened, giving the possibility of to update the standard It was in this context that between 2012 and 2016, the ANFR performed additional trunk SAR measurements using different distances than…
