I fully support scientific research and reviewing public health standards, but I also believe we need to be careful not to create unnecessary fear about technology that has been studied for decades. Let's stick to the facts. 5G, Wi-Fi, and cell towers use non-ionizing radiofrequency radiation. This is not the same as X-rays or gamma rays. It does not carry enough energy to directly damage DNA through ionization. The World Health Organization and National Cancer Institute have reviewed extensive research, and the overall human evidence has not established that everyday wireless exposure within established safety limits causes cancer. A major systematic review published in 2024 also found that mobile phone use likely does not increase the risk of several types of brain tumors. That doesn't mean we should stop studying it. Science is constantly evolving, and reviewing long-term exposure, newer technologies, and existing safety standards is perfectly reasonable. What concerns me is when legitimate scientific questions get turned into fearmongering. Just because something is called "radiation" doesn't automatically mean it's dangerous. Exposure levels, frequency, duration, and actual biological effects matter. I would encourage HHS to prioritize credible, peer-reviewed research, distinguish established risks from theoretical concerns, and be transparent about what the evidence actually shows. If new evidence demonstrates a legitimate health risk, then absolutely update the regulations. But public health policy should be based on reproducible scientific evidence, not speculation, political agendas, or public fear. We owe the American public accurate information, not another reason to be unnecessarily afraid of something they use every day.

I recently moved into a condo that shared a bedroom wall with my neighbor. From that time forward, I expeienced severe insomnia (which I had not experienced before) that resulted in my getting only 2-4, frequently interrupted hours of sleep a night. I reached out to an Indoor Environmental Consultant  / Building Biologist  /  EMF Consultant who took a variety of EMF measurements in the bedroom, and it determined that high levels of EMF were coming through the wall I shared with my neighbor. These measurements were taken with all power to my bedroom turned off at the breaker box. We were able to discuss the concern with my neighbor who agreed to turn off her wifi and televisions each night using outlet shut off switches. I was able to get more sleep (6-8 hours) once the EMF coming through the wall was significantly reduced.

Thank you Secretary Kennedy for asking the public to comment and report. A few years ago I developed tinnitus in an instant. I was sitting in my office in Safety Harbor, FL and the ringing in my ears was instant. This happened around Spring of 2023 I think. the ringing has never stopped. I believe it us caused by EMF or RF. Loretta Georgiou Land O Lakes, FL

We recently got a tower about 2 years ago less than 400 yards firm our home. Since. My kids have constantly had tummy aches and low sugar. I have also been a bee keeper for 14 years. I no longer can keep a hive. All my apple trees closest to the tower have all died. I csnt grow things in that area. It is also near a school which is Terrifying Please remove these weapons.

Good to look into, we need you too.

About 5 years ago I had significant numb and tingling in my hands after sitting with my phone in my hands for some time. I wondered if it was the phone. I ordered a Safe Sleeve to block radiation and it made a significant difference! Had same sensation laying in bed in my hands/arms and feet/legs. Got filters for the outlets next to the bed and sensation lessened. January this year I moved in to my husbands house, we got married this past February. By April I felt like I was dying from EMF exposure. He has smart meters, router is in TV room. I can't sit in the chair in that room any more as I feel the EMF's. Not only the tingling but it feels like I have a hand pressing on my upper chest 99% of the time. We got a grounding bed sheet that helped for a while but now I'm back to square one. I can't do much without getting out of breath. My mind is not as sharp as it normally is. I can't live like this and I'm working on getting products to help block EMF's but they are costly. I'm an anal health nut and for me to feel this terrible is devastating to me at age 72. My 2021 Subaru Crosstreck has 35 computers in it. I feel the "hand on my chest" when I'm in the car. It wasn't that noticeable until I had issues from living in this house. I'm hoping my husband will call ComEd to have the smart meter changed back to the old meter. It's right next to the stove and in line with the chair I used to sit in every evening. The numb tingling often keeps me awake at night. EMF's are a real problem, especially for sensitive people like me. It also causes many other health problems. I know of people whose doctors can't find anything wrong with them. I'd bet my life it's EMF's!!!

I’m extremely concerned about wireless radiation. We run a center for adults with autism and they can hardly tolerate any frequency, it affects their behavior and mental health in extraordinary ways. Please listen to Children’s Health Defense EMR department who are raising the alarm. If we truly want to make America healthy Again then this must be of utmost priority. With thanks from all our adults with autism

I have specifically noticed that when I turn off my cell phone, lap top or turn off my Apartment residence B circuit breaker, that a severe pain threshold I’m experiencing goes away immediately. It is thought that low level microwave radiation from heat lamps produces a subtle but noticeable burning sensation that goes away, once it is turned off. Like pulling out a decompressed car lighter. You’re pulling out something akin to radiation emanating from someone’s solar panels. They’re turning on your back and leg pain when they can shut it off

I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of EMFs. I'm concerned about the impact such radiation is having on everyone, especially the children. I'm particularly concerned about the effects of wearing devices such as air pods for extended periods of time. From teenagers to adults, a vast % of our population wears these without really knowing the effects. 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!

When the DECT 6.0 technology was used with cordless landline phones, I stopped using the cordless handset, and only used the corded base phone, because using a cordless handset made me feel headachy and the sensation was like pins and needles. I hoped that I could find a way to disable or at least "turn off" the constant seeking behavior which that technology uses, but it's not possible. So the only lower-EMF-type phone was a simple corded landline, without any DECT 6.0 technology and without any capability to add a cordless handset. Then came the cell phone technology, and the issues started again. I have to use an anti-radiation case on my phone to stop the pins and needles tingling sensation - almost a burning sensation - all over again. Cell phones use that same seeking behavior but on a ramped up scale, always searching for more powerful signals, and wifi cuts through the house whether we need it that powerful or not. WE DON'T. I have to cover my wifi router with a lesser EMF-taming screen shield, just so that I can use the internet. Years ago, this was not needed. With 4G, 5G and now 6G...what's to stop the train of radiation from quickly cooking us to death? I want to opt out of this health mess, but am unable to do so....because it is unlawfully a part of life now to which we must all subscribe. This is not life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Our greatest asset is our health, and technology that cooks us with EMFs has stripped that health asset. Nowhere is safe. We've got to stop this while we can.
