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.

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.

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.

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…

Original comment · unedited text

The only safe level and sources of EMF/RF radiation that humans have evolved to tolerate are gamma rays from earth's natural background radioactivity, radiation from space including solar radiation and lightning. This is not rocket science. It is basic evolutionary biology.

So the only safe level of man-made EMF/RF radiation, is ZERO.

We are experiencing mass poisoning from Electrosmog (RF/EMF, WIFI, Power line ELF radiation, automotive radars), glyphosate/weedkillers, nuclear waste, etc. Makes it easy for each of these industry criminals to blame the others.

When they cheat, ground the fleet. The criminals at Boeing found that out the hard way with the 737 MAX. Now TEAR DOWN ALL CELL TOWERS, SMALL CELLS, WIFI, etc. installations. The cellular telephone and WIFI industry WERE BUILT ON A SAFETY LIE. TEAR THEM ALL DOWN, NOW.

Background RF radiation level at my home itself maims and kills. But half of my backyard is exposed to >30X higher radiation than the background level, due to a small cell installation. Backyard is unusable. This small cell was installed AGAINST MY STRENUOUS OBJECTION.

Original comment · unedited text

I have lived the last 4 years of my life around the usage of a cell phone (for navigation as a delivery driver) during the course of this time I've developed Sub-clinical Hyperthyroidism, legions in my mouth that needed to be surgically removed, heart palpitations, irate blood sugar, high cholesterol, digestive issues, fog and overall fatigue- yet I've been told that my health was "fine" and administered over the counter drugs to cope.

I have made strides in my health due to de-worming and being selective of my water. The air quality is bad wherever I go as well and I know there are microparticles in the air that are being destroyed in my body through non-ionized radiation coming from EMF radiation from todays modern day towers.

I've been a targeted victimn in Marion County FL on record since 2024 when Rick Scott referred my case for investigations, that I've been doing myself with research etc. I am currently working with Lou Biandi and Mayor Ben Marciano whom all are aware of The Intra American Commision Petition for reform filed for investigations into the weaponization of biological neurological psychology lawfare and warfare and Do know who's responsible.in fact a digital diary has been kept within the FBI since 2023 each time I learned or went through violent hate crimes against my life from CB informants working under the CCops program and/or Infragaurd.

I've reported to The Cheif of Police Lou Biandi exactly the details of why Marion County Sheriff's Office and its Affiliates have been illegally detaining me in this torture program since February of 2022. I have a disability,4 Specialist I am to see 2 Permanent Disfigurations and 2 abnormal growths on my skull with all the necessary medical and legal documents to support my case. I was also given cancer and my DNA is now genetically altered as well as the Neurological damage, Heart(algorithmic issues) Dermatology and Internal medicine referrals. My medical debt to date is $220,000 for a person with very minimal medical history as a normal healthy business owner prior to these offenses to my life.

The Intra American Commision requested all medical bills and all Petition and evidence will go to The Governor DeSantis for review. I am still currently a Targeted Individual in this program. You can also find a bibliography of events advised by Rick Scott for me to keep is on X under Jennifer Wolfe. If there are any services or help and/or information I can provide please reach out.

Original comment · unedited text

I’m writing again because I feel as though I could give you more information. My targeting started in 2024 in Norfolk NE. At the time, I was struggling with addiction. I am now 3 years into my recovery. I was told by a witness to the crimes being done to me that- I was being gang stalked and their plan was to make me lose my memory and that I had a chip implanted in me. I started waking up with really bad headaches and later found out it was due to direct energy weapons. Prior to that, I had someone come over who gave me an injection drug and afterwards he said “how do you feel about robots?” I said “idk why” and he said “you’ll find out later” and laughed and took off. People were getting paid to stalk and harrass me, I believe by police. There was a time, my emotions didn’t feel natural- I was filled with anxiety and hyperventilating and it didn’t seem right. So I said out loud, “I feel like there’s a chip in me” (this was before I knew about this chip) and a police officer showed up at my door and said “we heard you say you have a chip in you, so we wanted to check things out.” How did he hear that or know I said that? No one was around. Today, within the last few years, I’m experiencing extreme head pain- feels like electric-magnetic-like. I don’t know how to explain it. This technology can control or interact with your nervous system- making your heart race (to make you feel anxious or fearful), body vibrations, a huge waves of radiation going thru my body and head (it feels awful, like I got hit by a bus and makes me feel nauseous and dizzy). Targeted individuals are more vulnerable to attacks in our sleep. I wake up with bloody noses. Another targeted individual, president of targeted justice- Jill Amack, told me they are raising my blood pressure with this tactic. I’ve woken up with eye strain and red eyes, blurry vision for one month straight from direct energy weapons. They were hitting my head with extreme force with direct energy weapons, 80% of the time it was directly on my temporal lope- which is the memory part of your brain. I’ve noticed some memory loss due to the attacks, but it’s not enough for it to be noticeable for other people in my…

because of the blinding headlights i half to wear a couple lairs of sunglass to compensate and even then it's not enough because some of those lights are worse than others and i also half to tilt my rear version minor to prevent being completely blind and I'm still some what blind even with the tinting of my minor by those lights and when the cars with those blinding headlights pass me on the right or left lane i still get blast by there headlights in the side version minor

and with the lights being so bright that you can't see i don't feel safe on the road any more and i don't drive unless it's absolutely necessary like to work or the food store or other things like that and i won't go out side of my house because you can't be out side for even 5 min’s without being blasted by those kind of light so it's like I'm a prisoner in my own house because of those kind of light

and there use to be a brights law but these new lights are many times brighter then are brights are so by them allowing them on these car the brights laws are not being enforce any more

and any one that needs lights that are that bright just to see the road probably should be driving at night in the first place

Original comment · unedited text

I am a Vietnam Era Veteran who was trained in NBC Warfare (Nuclear, Biological & Chemical), Radiation Detection and Radiation Decontamination at the Seal Beach Naval Weapons Depot in 1970 and since that time I have been greatly concerned about the effects of both ionizing and non-ionizing radiation on human beings. Dr. John Gofman, who wrote Radiation and Human Health among many other books, shares my concerns. Human beings need to lower our overall exposures to all bands of non-ionizing radiation and ionizing radiation emissions. We should also educate all people regarding the dangers. People should own various radiation detection devices in order to easily monitor exposures. The "safe limits" of exposures, created by government and industry, needs to be updated and made more truthful to help people understand the true dangers. The heating up of human flesh is really only one of many kinds of criteria needed to establish safety and many of those other criteria are ignored, which is a crime against humanity. Young children and pregnant women are especially subject to higher risks of injury and need more protection. There needs to be much more public discussions about these matters.

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

Original comment · unedited text

I am a physician, and I am sharing what happened to my husband Henry and me when we lived in a condo directly above a room containing 24 smart meters.

We moved there because it was right next to my mother. We thought, wow, this is great. Within what I remember as a couple of months, I began seeing flashes of light across my field of vision. They lasted about 20 minutes at a time, and they were horrifying. I had no idea what was happening. Years later, I learned these episodes were called scotomas.

Henry already had a history of heart problems. While we were living there, he developed AFib and was hospitalized for cardioversion. With both of these things happening, a friend suggested we have someone assess electromagnetic exposures in our condo. That was when we learned about the smart meters below us.

The assessor’s July 30, 2016 report recorded radiofrequency peaks of 7,000 µW/m² at our living room couch and 5,300 µW/m² in Henry’s office. He reported detecting pulses from the smart meter room in the office. The report also identified other wireless sources in and around the condo.

We moved out as quickly as we could and got a meter of our own. Ten years later, I still occasionally have those visual episodes. I cannot say from this assessment what caused Henry’s AFib or my symptoms. I can tell you when they appeared, what was measured in our home, and how deeply the experience affected us.

Henry went on to earn three certifications through the Building Biology Institute and became an Electromagnetic Radiation Specialist. As a physician, I now care for patients who are sensitive to electromagnetic exposures.

People can live directly above a bank of smart meters without even knowing it. We did. I hope HHS will study what exposure is like inside homes in that situation, especially over time, and take the experiences of the people living there seriously.

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 my own experience. Six months ago, I had been having trouble sleeping through the night. No matter what supplements or calming medicine I took, I would often wake up feeling very alert and I could lay there for hours trying to get back to sleep, and if I did it would only last about an hour and I would wake up again; I felt highly stimulated and could not relax - I could not figure out what was going on. This had been going on for many years. One of my physicians suggested that I might be sensitive to wireless radiation and suggested that I turn off the wireless at night. I began doing that and immediately I felt differently. I did not have that stimulated feeling (like I wanted to get up and move around). If I sleep anywhere where I cannot turn off the wireless, I have trouble relaxing and sleeping. As soon as I come home and turn off the wireless at night, I sleep well. I am not a scientific researcher, but I am well aware that there are many, many studies that prove that wireless radiation can adversely affect your health. We have so much chronic disease in this country and deep sleep is essential for good health - there are no exceptions to that. HHS should address this issue; they are very concerned about chronic health and I believe the wireless radiation is one more huge stress on the body that keeps the body from healing and good health. You cannot be healthy when you are constantly stimulated in "fight and flight" mode and can't get good sleep where your body repairs itself. 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.
