EMF’s are a legitimate concern to human health. The practice of grounding counters the negative effects to some degree. Many including myself have begun grounding while we sleep and experienced multiple positive benefits. I’m especially concerned about the deleterious brain development effects of EMFs on children, whose skulls are thinner and whose brains are more vulnerable. 5G is bad enough. 6G is coming. We cannot continue to allow the EMF bombardment of the populace and especially children in schools or who live close to towers without doing thorough and meaningful safety studies.

Response to Request for Information (RFI) on Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) and Health Due Date: October 21, 2026 Today’s Date: October 20, 2026 Dear Secretary and Review Committee, Thank you for opening this Request for Information. As someone who cares deeply about preventative health and public safety, I am relieved to see HHS stepping up to investigate the true human toll of electromagnetic fields (EMF) and wireless radiation. For too long, federal agencies have looked the other way while chronic illnesses, neurological complaints, and reproductive issues have risen alongside the massive rollout of wireless infrastructure. As an individual managing the health of my household, I notice that many people in my community suffer from unexplained headaches, chronic fatigue, and sleep disruptions that improve noticeably when they distance themselves from high-EMF environments. I am asking HHS to lead with the precautionary principle and look closely at the peer-reviewed evidence regarding these specific priority areas: 1. Oxidative Stress and Chronic Disease: A staggering 91% of peer-reviewed radiofrequency radiation studies summarized by the BioInitiative Working Group found that low-intensity RF radiation induces severe oxidative damage. Oxidative stress is a well-known precursor to systemic inflammation, immune system deregulation, and chronic illness. 2. Reproductive Harm and Genotoxicity: Studies mapping out EMF exposure on human health have repeatedly demonstrated adverse effects on fertility, including altered parameters of sperm function, genotoxic damage, and increased risks of miscarriage. 3. The Threat of Cumulative Neighborhood Exposure: With the unmitigated density of 5G small cells and smart meters placed directly outside bedroom windows, the public is subjected to inescapable, continuous exposure. The concordance between the National Toxicology Program's finding of malignant tumors in rodents and the epidemiological data of human brain tumors cannot be ignored. HHS has a binding duty to protect human health over corporate interests. Please use your agency's authority to establish a transparent, multi-disciplinary task force to create real, health-protective federal exposure limits. Sincerely, Marcia Keizer Yelm, Washington

I always felt unnatural around my mobile phones with 4G and 5G capabilities. It felt like there were frequencies I could not see constantly bombarding my head, and I would get this numb feeling in my head and jaw area. I absolutely could not hold the mobile device up next to my head during phone calls. It made my head uncomfortable despite me believing it was harmless. I could never stay on calls holding the phone up to my head. I always got so uncomfortable so quickly that I needed to switch to bluetooth headphones or, more often, the speaker phone. My mind seemed foggy and cloudy with my cellphone around me. I no longer have a mobile device and I feel like I've been returned to nature. My mind is no longer cloudy or foggy. I sleep better and I do not feel the way I felt (lethargic, distracted, foggy) the entire time I was carrying a mobile device or with the presence of on around me. I sleep better and feel more in control of my life. I also have a sense of my privacy being restored. My cellphone used to always know when I woke up in the morning. It would save all the notifications until I stirred in bed a little bit at 4 a.m. or 5 a.m., and it would suddenly flood the device with all the notifications it saved for me over night. It also always gave me too many personalized ads considering I had my microphone off, my camera off, my location off, and personalized ads off. Social media sites and other websites would somehow present an ad to me for a product or service I discussed out loud to another person, not over the phone, and it is not something I ever looked up on an electronic device.

When 5G hubs came out for my electricity company I was given a postcard months before and it said that I could call and I could opt out of the service because it was already a digital hub they could already read my information they could already see it they can turn my power off and on with a flick of a switch with nobody coming out to do so physically. It gave a phone number so I called it, going through a couple of hoops people would not answer my questions and what I needed to know and address my concerns before they actually went ahead and did this or I said no please do not do this... The person on the phone with me told me that if I did not change this hub because medically I have a sensitivity to frequencies to noises to sounds to smells decides to everything because I have my own medical issues and that if I was not going to be switching it over that it would cost me $100 out of my pocket and then every month thereafter would cost me another $50 added on to my bill because somebody would physically have to come out and read this because they would not listen to me when I said I have a medical letter here from my doctor who do I send it to so it doesn't happen to me and to forego also my neighbor who I am renting but as long as I'm here it should be recognized as well because both of our meters are in the same position and her meter would obviously give frequencies off so if I didn't change mine and she did I would still be sick. She furthermore lets me know that it's going to cost me extra and every month it's going to cost me the X amount of dollars that she stayed in she said well don't worry honey it's the same as having a microwave I said I don't have a microwave because I get severe headaches I get them so bad and so frequently I get very nauseous and I would be sick for very large periods of time and sometimes hospitalized. And she didn't know what to say to me I said see me to tell me because I'm disabled because I have a medical reasoning for this not to happen that you're going to charge me extra you're going to charge someone who's disabled extra money to be disabled. I'm trying to understand this because I'll be honest with you my lawyer will be definitely interested in this conversation. She immediately says oh I'm so sorry hold on one moment and puts me on hold furthermore she refers me to another person who claims to be a supervisor and said well this is what it is and until it changes that's what's going to be we're either going to do it and to be honest with you we're already changing in your area and likely this request will not be seen until it's already been done and we cannot undo it once we've done it. Furthermore stating even though they give you the option to opt out they really didn't mean they could opt you out of it they weren't going to they were not intending to and they certainly didn't care if I was medically unwell from this surgeon in waves coming through my home and through my body causing me to be ill. So do I have issues with all of this absolutely these I love this they call them improvements to our energy or not improvements because there have been no studies on this brand new technology because we're at a war of technology and who's got the better stuff and who can get it up and running quicker we're not looking at what are the effects that they're going to have on the people who actually pay for us to have this business these little people who are getting sick these little people who don't have the extra money to put a faraday cage around everything. This is so sick and I can't believe this is being allowed

RFK Jr doesn't know how electromagnetic radiation works. In order for any sort of rays to cause the harm he is claiming, they have to be ionizing. Only Ultraviolet rays, and rays with smaller wavelengths and higher frequencies (like xray or gamma rays) can actually penitrate human skin. UV rays have a wavelength of 10^-8mm. Radio waves by comparison have a wavelength of 10^3mm. 5G towers and Wifi use radio waves. Comparing the frequencies, Wifi is around 2.4-5 Ghz. UV rays by comaprison are 750 Tetrahertz. Simply put, Radio waves are nowhere near powerful enough to cause any harm. RFK Jr is a lawyer with a history of lying about harmful effects to fuel lawsuits, most of which he does not win. It is a damming conflict of interest though to abuse his position of HHS secretary to attempt to change official CDC or FDA positions to better aid his lawsuits. This is no exception. This fear he spreads about 5G and Wifi is only the tip. He has also previously spread misinformation on Medicine, Vaccines, Mental disorders, Nutrition, Flouridated water, Genetic diseases, and much more. All of which serve the same purpose, so he can attempt to sue companies and bully scientists who call him out and get in his way. His actions as HHS secretary only serve as a way to enrich himself, platform his believes, and increase both the odds of a successful lawsuit and frequency of him launching them. In short, he is abusing his position of HHS secretary to enrich himself. While he spreads misinformation, He is both directly and indirectly harming those who believe it. Before becoming HHS Secretary, He ran an organization called Chilren's Healtn Defense. An organization who routinely criticizes vaccines and modern medicine. While RFK Jr has legally cut ties, he has not denounced the positions or ideas that he was promoting at CHD. People who listen to CHD and refused to get vaccinated have unfortunately payed the price. So far in this measles outbreak, at least 5 kids have died from measles. He has also lied about vaccines in Samoa in 2019, with 83 children dying from measles. I do not think RFK Jr knows what measles even is. He doesn't know what viruses are, what germs are, or what autism or ADHD are. RFK Jr is unfit to be HHS secretary and for the benefit of our country, He must be removed as soon as possible.

The effects of these should be tested ASAP and all these cell phone towers should be tested repositioned away from schools and housing and possibly all taken down as 5G is not good for the human body. 6G should not be rolled out.. if necessary they should roll back to a frequency that is more compatible with human life. Testing should also be done on smart meters cell phone radiation held in your hand and Wi-Fi and what safe levels of all of these are and limit what these devices can emit. Let’s make all of the American population safe from these potentially dangerous technologies.

To Whom It May Concern: I submit this comment as a concerned citizen and well-being advocate who spent more than two years helping a community member seek the right to retain an analog utility meter rather than being required to accept a wireless smart meter. At the start of this journey, I knew very little about electromagnetic fields (EMF), radiofrequency radiation (RF), smart meters, or electromagnetic sensitivity. However, through extensive research, conversations with physicians, researchers, engineers, and affected individuals across the country, I became convinced that these issues deserve far greater public health attention. Over the course of my advocacy, I reviewed scientific literature, books, articles, utility documents, and health reports. I also met many individuals who reported symptoms they associated with EMF and RF exposure, including sleep disturbances, anxiety, headaches, cognitive difficulties, fatigue, neurological symptoms, and cardiovascular concerns. I leaned upon well-respected organizations in the U.S. who are helping to advocate on these issues. While correlation does not prove causation, the consistency of these reports should not be dismissed and warrants serious, independent investigation. One area that particularly concerns me is the potential overlap between EMF-related symptoms and conditions commonly classified as mental health disorders. Although I am not a physician, I believe researchers should examine whether environmental electromagnetic exposures may cause, contribute, or exacerbate symptoms associated with anxiety, depression, attention disorders, and other neurological/behavioral conditions. Millions of Americans suffer from these disorders. We should ask whether some portion of these cases may have physiological contributors that remain insufficiently explored. I also believe additional research is needed regarding "dirty electricity," voltage transients, and the cumulative effects of chronic exposure to artificial electromagnetic environments. As technology becomes more embedded in daily life, public health research should keep pace. My advocacy effort resulted in a successful outcome, allowing the resident to keep an analog meter. More importantly, it highlighted a broader issue that could impact nearly 40,000 people in the community. Consumers should have the right to make informed choices about technologies placed on or near their homes, regardless of whether they qualify under disability laws. I am particularly troubled by utility policies that require customers to pay ongoing monthly fees to retain an analog meter. Such charges can create a financial penalty for exercising personal choice regarding health and safety concerns. These policies deserve regulatory review to ensure they are fair, transparent, and justified. In the course of this work, I encountered people who believed they experienced health challenges associated with long-term occupational or environmental EMF exposure. These experiences included cancer diagnoses, neurological symptoms, and cardiovascular concerns among individuals regularly exposed to radios, electrical equipment, wireless infrastructure, or other sources of electromagnetic radiation. These accounts are anecdotal and do not establish causation, but they reinforce the need for independent long-term research. I am also concerned about potential environmental impacts. Reports regarding pollinator health, including bee navigation and colony health, deserve thorough scientific examination. Given the importance of pollinators to agriculture and food security, even the possibility of adverse effects should be investigated. Likewise, the rapid expansion of wireless infrastructure, smart devices, connected vehicles, and large data centers raises important questions about cumulative environmental and human exposure. At a minimum, the public deserves transparency and informed consent. Consumers should receive clear information regarding the electromagnetic emissions associated with products and technologies they are asked to use. Public health agencies should support independent research, encourage open scientific inquiry, and ensure that innovation does not outpace safety evaluation. I respectfully urge HHS to prioritize research into the potential effects of EMF, RF radiation, and electrical pollution; support studies involving vulnerable populations; evaluate possible links to neurological and mental health symptoms; assess environmental impacts; and protect consumer choice regarding utility metering and other technologies. History has shown that responsible public health policy requires investigating emerging concerns before they become established crises. The concerns surrounding EMF exposure deserve that same level of attention today. Respectfully, Concerned Citizen and Well-Being Advocate

Thank you for taking the time to look into this important matter. I first began showing signs of EMF sensitivity back in 2015. My physical, mental, and emotional health is negatively impacted by the ever increasing EMFs that I do not have any control over. The house I am living in has the internet hardwired, but I cannot control what neighbors do. I believe I should be able to live in a suburban neighborhood without being immersed in EMFs. I am especially negatively impacted by smart meters and specifically fiber WiFi internet and WiFi in general. I purposely do not have 5G on my cell phone and use Bluetooth sparingly. When I am in an environment with fiber WiFi internet, my sleep is affected. I don’t sleep as deeply and I have to sleep for longer periods of time to be somewhat functional day to day. I also have nerve pain in my legs that fluctuates in severity when around these sources. I believe EMFs can contribute to nervous system dysregulation in certain individuals, myself included. I believe the increasing EMFs can put the body in a chronic sympathetic (fight or flight) state. This condition has impacted my ability to work and I have been mentally institutionalized multiple times for having to live with this condition. I am asking for there to be some regulations in how this technology is implemented. We are living in a time where EMFs are only increasing to levels never before experienced with no real consideration on what it is doing to mankind’s physical, mental, and emotional health. I am doing all that is in my power to lower the EMFs in my own home, but there should be limitations in how far these EMFs can travel from neighbors that are now directly impacting me. I ask that you will look into the harms of EMFs, especially the radio frequency radiation that comes from specifically fiber internet WiFi (and WiFi in general), smart meters, and Bluetooth and make changes. I thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

WIRELESS RADIATION IS DAMMAGING TO OUR HEALTH AND PLANET!!!!! STOP 5G
