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 and concerned member of the public. This EMF in our air definitely needs to be addressed for our health to be protected better! EMF's are getting into us everywhere now and it can damage our DNA, brains, etc. My brain is so low on energy and I haven't found a medical specialist who can help me properly. Psychiatrists just want to prescribe meds. I don't want to be hooked on meds that can cause other problems. I ask them if they are brain specialists. ...NO. Just offer meds for the issue. I'm SO THANKFUL FOR the EMF Solutions company that has protective resources!!!! Though I think my brain already has some permanent damage.?? SO SAD that so many kids are on cell phones and unprotected! PLEASE establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health. Thank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.

[...] '1.2. Microwave EMFs, electro-hypersensitivity, and cancer During the past 15 years several statistical studies indicate a connection between residential exposure to radiation of MT base station antennas (which emit similar radiation with that of mobile phones), and reported symptoms of unwellness usually referred to as “microwave syndrome”, or “electro-hypersensitivity” (EHS). These include headaches, fatigue, sleep disorders, etc. [57–63]. Similar effects that were previously categorized as medically unexplained symptoms (MUS) are recently attributed to chronic stress and inflammation [64]. Recently, in an effort to find objective methods for EHS evaluation, ∼80% of EHS self‑reporting patients were found to present oxidative stress biomarkers in their peripheral blood [65] which is strongly related to DNA damage. At the same time, more and more epidemiological studies indicate an increasing connection between mobile phone use and brain tumors in humans, [66–75]. The time length of cancer development after cellular damage may be many years depending on the animal and the type of cancer. It is called latency period and is defined as the time between the initial causative event and the development of clinically recognizable cancer. The latency period for gliomas (type of brain cancer) is more than 20 years in humans [76]. This probably explains why epidemiological studies only recently have started showing a connection between mobile phone use and cancer. Tumor promotion in experimental animals after long-term RF exposure at levels below the officially accepted limits is also reported [77,78]. In a recent study of the USA National Toxicology Program (NTP) rats were exposed for 2 years, 9 h per day, in a simulated near field of a mobile phone antenna emitting 2nd generation (Global System for Mobile telecommunications - GSM) or 3rd generation (Code Division Multiple Access - CDMA) EMFs. [The CDMA is part of the Universal Mobile Telecommunication System – UMTS]. Exposed rats developed brain cancer (glioma) and heart cancer (malignant schwannoma) for both lower (1.5 W/kg) and higher (3, and 6 W/kg) Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) levels than the current exposure limit (2 W/kg) for the human head [56,79]. An Italian life-span exposure study of rats in a simulated GSM 1800 far field, also found induction of heart schwannomas and brain glial tumors, in agreement with the results of the NTP study [80]. These findings are in agreement with the above reported DNA damage findings, since DNA damage is a main cause of cancer [81,82]. Alternatively, DNA damage may result in cell death, reproductive declines, or neurodegenerative diseases [83,84]. [...] 1.4. Conflict between experimental studies due to unrealistic exposures An extremely important observation is the intense opposition between the results of experimental studies that employ real exposures from commercially available devices (mobile phones or other telecommunication devices), and studies employing simulated exposures from generators or “test” phones with similar but invariant parameters such as intensity, frequency etc. While ∼50% of the studies employing simulated exposures do not find any effects, studies employing real-life exposures from commercially available devices display an almost 100% consistency in showing adverse effects [34–36,84,100–118]. A wide variety of biological and clinical effects are already found to be induced by real-life exposures on a similarly wide variety of animals/biological samples including human volunteers exposed in vivo (19 studies) [19,34,35,100,104,106–109,114,116], human sperm in vitro (2 studies) [23,100], mice or rats or guinea pigs or rabbits in vivo (24 studies) [100,102,103,105,110,111,115,117], Drosophila (11 studies) [15,16,26,31,41,42,100,101,140,141], bees (4 studies) [47,100,118], ants (1 study) [100], chick embryos (3 studies) [36,45,100], quails (1 study) [100], human cells in vitro (2 studies) [100,112], cow brain tissue in vitro (1 study) [113], mouse cells in vitro (1 study), protozoa (1 study), and even purified proteins in vitro (1 study) [100]. From a total of 71 studies reviewed above that employed real exposures 68 recorded significant adverse effects (95.8%) ranging from loss of orientation, kinetic, behavioural, or EEG changes, heart rate changes, effect on cognitive function and memory impairment, effect on cell growth and proliferation, temperature increases in brain tissue, to decrease in male and female reproductive capacity, reproductive declines, molecular changes, changes in enzymatic activity, biochemical changes in the pregnant women and their embryos, DNA damage and cell death, protein damage, and histopathological changes in the brain [34–36,84,100–118].' https://www.researchgate.net/publication/331661949_Comparing_DNA_Damage_Induced_by_Mobile_Telephony_and_Other_Types_of_Man-Made_Electromagnetic_Fields

My Story of EMF Exposure - Abbreviated Version HHS: I work in the fields of science and technology. My work is sufficiently advanced to where personal security is a concern given harassment is not uncommon at this level. After many years working on various projects it had become obvious that “a party” with advance EMF / DEW / cognitive warfare technologies had taken notice of my accomplishments. I have developed many of the widely reported symptoms of “Havana Syndrome” caused by an apparent DEW attack starting in earnest January 2024 (all while on U.S soil). I did not experience one but rather a multi-level covert means of interface with my mind with apparent frequency weapons. It had also become obvious that, by design, the methods used were such that when reported directly could easily be confused with mental illness. This subject matter has an apparent nexus of security and health care. Speaking from my personal experience, there is no proper method of screening for a person in my situation (a targeted individual). Even when specifically mentioning Havana Syndrome to my provider, I was not offered proper screening. I was instead pigeon holed as most are into a misdiagnosis. In my view, even if a provider should form an opinion that a patient be suffering from mental illness rather than Havana Syndrome, remote electronic harassment, synthetic telepathy, etc., proper diagnostic screening should be offered. To do otherwise means HHS is intentionally or unintentionally providing cover for those using these technologies and, in the process, complicit in crimes against humanity. Sincerely, Anonymous

'because these wavelengths travel only short distances, this system will need to use a dense network of fixed antennas outdoors every 300 meters as well as indoor systems, as the gigahertz radiation is blocked by buildings. ' 'In addition, there is convincing emerging scientific evidence causing great concern for the environment, with harm to mammals, insects and bacteria, prompting scientists around the world to call for a moratorium on 5G.' 'Major health concerns with exposure to 5G are to skin, eye and adverse systemic metabolic signaling through skin sensors, as well as heat effects. Some in Congress have seriously questioned the lack of independent research on 5G safety.' 'Current FCC standards are based only on heat effects for all telecommunications radiofrequencies and not biological effects seen with low level exposures that do not heat or burn tissues' https://mdsafetech.org/5g-telecommunications-science/ ' New research on heat effects of 5G, by (Neufeld and Kuster 2018), demonstrates that permanent tissue damage from heating may occur even after short exposures to 5G millimeter wave pulse trains, where repetitive pulses can cause rapid, localized heating. The scientists highlight an urgent need for new thermal safety exposure standards to update current guidelines which do not adequately prevent excessive heating from pulsed millimeter wave exposure.' 'It is notable that currently over 207 scientists and physicians who have researched the biological and health effects of radiofrequency radiation have signed the 5G appeal, calling for a moratorium on the use of 5G technologies until more research is conducted and proves the safety of this technology.

Hi, I am glad I didn't miss out... I do have a message to give I am an engineer I am a manufacturing mechanical engineering I do all types of engineering research... Within the last 15 years 15 years I have been affected within my environment and it's been something I couldn't see by me being an engineer I started elimination process of elimination of my environment and things which could attack me or or damage me physically it came out to be the high levels of electrical energy being distributed within the environments and communities that I resided. My Physician specialist gave a medical certificate stating that it is high levels of electrical energy being distributed within my residential area that is causing and affecting me physically and damaging my muscles tissues etc. This electrical energy distribution levels have been so high until it affected me physically it actually left a scar on my right Temple I'll have the scar every time I'm around high levels of electricity this scar seems to just pop out like a vein it glows almost like it's a greenish color... So I'm just going to say this I am an engineer and high levels of electricity and the thermal energy that we're dealing with we're dealing with some dangerous stuff very dangerous I have a traumatic brain injury by the high levels of electrical energy dispersing in these residents environments it's caused my pituitary gland to react and have to be monitored... I feel those who are professionals in this services and these utility services for them to be so dishonest about this for over the years is dramatic and appalling they seem as if they don't have children family kids or grandparents because if they did they would be honest about what we are all living around and having to adapt to the temperatures are going to rise everything is going to crack until we streamline this electrical usage and Technology we're using. I at this time actually a few minutes ago I'm looking on Linux to streamline how we're dealing with this these AI Data centers the amount of Technology streamlining through them if we can lower that we can make things a bit dense more adaptable. And it is burning me up literally it's been very painful and then you talk about inflammation soot all of this is brought on by our technology the EPA warnings it's all about this technology and what's deriving in our environment Thank you Contacts: Ms. Raymonda Singleton raymondasingleton@gmail.com 6197152820. If there's anything you'd like to know about this technology just asked request send an email I'll give you what you need and research anything you need thank you

Comments as: individual consumer a. The type(s) of wireless technology or RF/EMF source(s) involved: Mobile phones b. The nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing of the reported exposure(s). nature:Uncertain. frequency:two times. duration:about 1 hour. timing:2026 c. The potential adverse health effects experienced. Headache.hard or nearly impossible to thinking or making plans. d. When potential adverse health effects first appeared relative to when exposure began and whether any changes in exposure coincided with potential adverse health effects. After 3-5 minuntes being exposure,during I set a rooted android phone CPU frequency limit to little cluster:300Mhz, big cluster :600Mhz, prime cluster: 800Mhz. e. Whether medical evaluation or treatment was sought, including any diagnoses received (if the respondent chooses to share them). No. f. Whether steps to reduce or eliminate exposure were taken and, if so, whether any subsequent changes in potential adverse health effects were observed. Mitigate after 10-20 seconds when I reverse the CPU limit set from app and close all switch from on to off, but not completely disappear, brain still fell slightly uncomfortable after 2 days. g. Any supporting documentation, including scientific reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information. I speculate that it was caused by using an App to set the CPU frequency limit extremely low in the Android system, without the app adjusting the voltage to an appropriate value. I have had a similar experience when using a PC: under high load, the CPU voltage would drop to a value lower than the set value. Manually increasing the voltage in the BIOS can alleviate this situation, and I myself also manually raised the CPU voltage to reduce the adverse effects of the CPU on my body. m. Recommendations for future research or surveillance. It is suggest to measure the ability of test subjects to perform precision tasks when the human body is near a CPU operating at extremely high or extremely low frequencies, especially under different voltage settings. a. The type(s) of wireless technology or RF/EMF source(s) involved: Wi-Fi-2.4G (experience before 10 years, so is 10 years ago's technology ) b. The nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing of the reported exposure(s). nature:May be EMF duration:Less than half an hour. frequency:one time approximate timing of the reported exposure: All day long, but especially during the time I go to bed start try to all asleep, the wifi router are less than 1 meter to my pillow. c. The potential adverse health effects experienced. Irritability.cannot fall asleep. d. When potential adverse health effects first appeared relative to when exposure began and whether any changes in exposure coincided with potential adverse health effects. After about half an hour. e. Whether medical evaluation or treatment was sought, including any diagnoses received (if the respondent chooses to share them). No. f. Whether steps to reduce or eliminate exposure were taken and, if so, whether any subsequent changes in potential adverse health effects were observed. Move wifi router to outside the door, behind a wall, distance change from less than 1 meter to more than 2.5 meters. Irritability nearly disapper. Finally I can fall a sleep.

I am writing in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I’m responding as an individual personally affected by RF and am deeply concerned about the threat to our children’s health. I am one of a growing number of people who cannot remain healthy in the presence of wireless radiation. My symptoms upon exposure are common ones and include heart palpitations, headaches, blurred vision, extreme fatigue, nausea, anxiety, and cognitive impairment. I cannot work outside my home due to this and have great difficulty shopping, receiving medical attention, or going to a restaurant. I cannot safely use airlines, buses, or trains, nor can I rent, drive, or be a passenger in newer cars because they have so much on-board RF. I cannot stay in motels or hotels, and in fact I have not traveled anywhere in five years. I am terrified that should I need to go into a hospital, I will become very ill from RF, possibly losing consciousness and unable to even communicate about the symptoms that will register on medical monitors but whose cause will be unknown to medical staff. RF sensitivity is extremely socially isolating as there few homes and no public places where it is not saturating the environment. I am essentially stranded in increasingly small oases where wireless radiation is low or does not reach. My respite, and the thing that keeps me relatively healthy, is being able to return to and stay in my home, which after much hard work, is EMF free. In this environment my body stabilizes and is healthy, and I can tolerate limited exposures a few times a week in RF-saturated areas. But this refuge in my home has been extremely difficult to create and is constantly threatened by development of cell towers, cell antennae, and 5G deployment. It is virtually impossible to find a rental and very difficult to purchase a home that is not saturated with wireless technology. At age 70 I have finally been able to purchase a healthy home, though I had to move far from friends and family to find something. I live in constant threat of having to pull up stakes and move again (to where?) when cell towers and 5G antennas come to my neighborhood. While a minority of people understand that their symptoms arise from EMF and RF exposure, a great many more suffer from it and are unaware that RF is the cause or a major contributing factor. There is a large body of research confirming that these adverse impacts occur to both those who are aware of their sensitivity and those who are not. Children are so very vulnerable and without knowledgable adults and public institutions to protect them are being harmed in homes, schools, and virtually all public spaces. HHS is uniquely positioned to consolidate existing research, sponsor studies into existing information gaps, and generate policy to protect the public from wireless radiation. Doing so will help ensure more informed decisions about deployment of wireless technologies and make homes, offices, and public spaces healthier for all of us. I sincerely hope HHS will meet this challenge.

I am. Ph.D. In aerospace engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology. In 2010, I was a Sam Nunn Fellow, selected to be part of a program, addressing the intersection between science technology and policy. As part of this course, we were encouraged to do a research project on the intersection of science, technology with policy. For this project, I covered the history at the time related to the development of mobile telecommunications and the various effects of EMF radiation used in telecommunications on biological samples. I would be glad to share my findings at a later time. In short, after doing that research project, I never spoke with a cell phone by my ear for more than a 30 second call, rather always using wired headphones for any lengthy call and always keeping the phone away from my body. That practice remains until this day. Since 2010, the bandwidth of EMF radiation has only increased as the bandwidth of data transported through the devices has increased, going from 3G at the time to 5G and LTE today. Similar protocols dictate how I arrange wireless routers in my home. Since then, I have worked in the intersection between neuroscience and engineering, starting a company that works with the federal government, particularly the Army, until this day. As a company, we have focused on cognitive performance in a variety of high stakes, decision-making, environments, for instance, and supporting war fighter readiness. Our techniques have not been used to evaluate the effects of EMF on cognitive function, but there is reason to believe that they would be effective in doing so. Furthermore, a large sample of our clients are law-enforcement professionals and police. Routinely, we observe cell phone towers with 5G transmitters affixed to towers stationed on police and other civil administration properties. If the effects of EMF radiation from studies available in 2010 are any indication, projected forward today to the greater bandwidth of 5G and LTE technologies in 2026, it is very likely that a large source of radiative impact lands on the civil personnel that work underneath towers placed on these public properties. Again, the expertise of our company could be leverage to evaluate this potential claim. Mobile telecommunication act of 1996 has delivered incredible benefits in the delivery of information around the country and other parts of the world. The gradual expansion of commercially available bandwidth licensed from the federal government to private industry allows these information exchanges. However, it is unclear what role state and federal law-enforcement has to investigate claims of injury brought by the use of such bandwidth. Once the cause of liability has been properly assigned, if it exists at all, there is possibly a next step to pursue legal action in either state and/or federal venue. Both state and federal personnel are routinely exposed to mobile telecommunication sources, such as towers holding 5G transmitters. If these radiation sources are causing damage and a cognitive level, then they should be evaluated. For instance, the military currently uses the defense automated neural physiological assessment (DANA) to evaluate brain injury. Our company is currently working with the Walter Reed Hospital to develop a more sophisticated application to compliment this procedure, specifically aimed at mild traumatic brain injury. It is possible that a similar protocol could be used to evaluate cognitive performance effects and their extent for people living or working near mobile telecommunication sources. Using such tools, it may be possible even to re-develop cognitive performance that has been lost by exposure to radiation injury, in the same way that it is hypothesis currently that concussive brain injury can be either minimized or reversed with proper cognitive treatment. We are glad to help as possible. See deCervo.com for more about the company doing this work.

Thank you for this opportunity to comment on this critical issue. The effect of these technologies should have been thoroughly studied before the world was blanketed in them, and those who failed in this regard should be held financially and criminally liable. Also please be sure to study the effects of these technologies on ALL life systems: all animals, plants, the air, water, soil, ecosystems, the atmosphere, biosphere, etc. Contrary to the massively funded advertising blitz, people have never clamored for these technologies and a thorough investigation should be conducted into the motives of the industry leaders and government representatives who conspired to force these rollouts without market demand or safety studies. What exactly is going on?
