ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
See attached file(s) Long-term residential magnetic field exposure and neurodegenerative disease mortality: An 18-year nationwide cohort study in Switzerland 2026 A B S T R A C T Background: Epidemiological evidence on the association between extremely low-frequency magnetic fields (ELF-MF) exposure and neurodegenerative diseases (NDD) remains inconsistent. Few population-based studies using exposure from high-voltage power lines (HVPL) have found mixed findings, and none have yet considered exposure from railway lines. Methods: We followed 3,555,064 adults from the Swiss National Cohort (2001–2018), contributing 55.4 million person-years. Long-term ELF-MF exposure from HVPL (50 Hz) and railway lines (16.7 Hz) was modelled using validated proximity models and updated over four intervals (2001–2005, 2006–2010, 2011–2015, 2016–2018). Long-term ELF-MF exposure was calculated as a time-weighted average exposure over 10-year windows preceding each interval. Cox proportional hazards models estimated hazard ratios (HRs) for mortality from Alzheimer’s disease (AD), other types of dementia (OTD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson’s disease (PD), and multiple sclerosis (MS), adjusting for sociodemographic and environmental co-exposures. Results: During follow-up, 146,655 NDD deaths occurred. Less than 1% of the population was exposed to long-term ELF-MF ≥0.3 µT from HVPL and 2.4% from railway lines. HVPL exposure was positively associated with mortality from AD (HR per 1 µT increase in exposure =1.54; 95% CI: 1.23–1.92) and OTD (HR =1.31; 95% CI: 1.13–1.52). Associations for railway exposure were weaker and attenuated after adjusting for environmental co-exposures. No associations were observed for ALS, PD, or MS. Conclusions: Long-term ELF-MF exposure was associated with higher dementia mortality risk in the general population, but not with ALS, PD, or MS. Causal inference remains limited by the absence of established biological mechanisms.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
See attached file(s) The Possible Role of Contact Current in Cancer Risk Associated With Residential Magnetic Fields 2000 Residential electrical wiring safety practices in the US result in the possibility of a small voltage (up to a few tenths of a volt) on appliance surfaces with respect to water pipes or other grounded surfaces. This ``open circuit voltage'' (VOC) will cause ``contact current'' to flow in a person who touches the appliance and completes an electrical circuit to ground. This paper presents data suggesting that contact current due to VOC is an exposure that may explain the reported associations of residential magnetic fields with childhood leukemia. Our analysis is based on a computer model of a 40 house (single-unit, detached dwelling) neighborhood with electrical service that is representative of US grounding practices. The analysis was motivated by recent research suggesting that the physical location of power lines in the backyard, in contrast to the street, may be relevant to a relationship of power lines with childhood leukemia. In the model, the highest magnetic field levels and VOCs were both associated with backyard lines, and the highest VOCs were also associated with long ground paths in the residence. Across the entire neighborhood, magnetic field exposure was highly correlated with VOC (r 0.93). Dosimetric modeling indicates that, compared to a very high residential level of a uniform horizontal magnetic field (10 mT) or a vertical electric field (100 V/m), a modest level of contact current ( 18 mA) leads to considerably greater induced electric fields (> 1 mV/m) averaged across tissue, such as bone marrow and heart. The correlation of VOC with magnetic fields in the model, combined with the dose estimates, lead us to conclude that VOC is a potentially important exposure with respect to childhood leukemia risks associated with residential magnetic fields. These findings, nonetheless, may not apply to residential service used in several European countries or to the Scandinavian studies concerned with populations exposed to magnetic fields from overhead transmission lines.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
See attached file(s) A Narrative Review on the Influence of Electromagnetic Fields Below 100 kHz on the Endocrine System 2026 Abstract Background: Extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMFs), generated mainly by power infrastructure and household devices, have raised scientific interest due to their potential impact on the endocrine system. Animal research consistently shows effects on melatonin secretion, stress hormone levels, thyroid activity, and reproductive function—largely mediated by oxidative stress and calcium ion imbalance. In contrast, human studies remain inconsistent, often hindered by methodological limitations and insufficient exposure characterization. Objective: This review synthesizes experimental and epidemiological studies examining low-frequency electromagnetic field exposure (≤100 kHz) and its influence on hormonal regulation. Methods: A bibliometric analysis highlights focused interest on specific endocrine targets, particularly the pineal gland. Importantly, many experimental studies use field strengths above those found near high- voltage power lines, limiting direct applicability. Conclusions: While a definitive causal link has not been established, the widespread exposure to low-frequency electromagnetic fields justifies precautionary considerations. Several important research gaps remain, many of which are identified in this review. The topic of low-frequency electromagnetic field effects on the endocrine system requires more rigorous, long-term human studies with accurate exposure assessment. Keywords: electromagnetic field; endocrine system; hormones; cancer; EMF exposure

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
See attached file(s) Mobile telephony radiation exerts genotoxic action and significantly enhances the effects of gamma radiation in human cells 2024 Abstract. I previously reported chromosomal damage in human peripheral blood lymphocytes (HPBLs) induced by: a) mobile telephony (MT) electromagnetic fields (EMFs)/electromagnetic radiation (EMR), b) a high caffeine dose, and c) the combination of the two stressors. HPBLs from the same subjects exposed to gamma radiation at doses 0.1, 0.3, or 0.5 Gy, displayed more aberrations than those exposed to MT EMFs or the high caffeine dose in a dose-dependent manner. When the cells exposed to these gamma radiation doses were pre-exposed to a single 15-min MT EMF exposure, the number of aberrations increased significantly more than the sum number of aberrations induced by the individual stressors in all subjects. Thus, MT EMF exposure at a power density ~136 times below the latest International Commission on Non- Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) exposure limit, apart from the fact that it is genotoxic by itself, significantly enhanced the genotoxic action of gamma radiation. Since gamma radiation at similar doses is applied for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, people should be aware of the increased risk during treatment periods. Comparison of the genotoxic action between MT EMF and gamma radiation shows that the ICNIRP limits are, at least, ~4.5×104 times less stringent than the limits for gamma radiation. Key words: Electromagnetic fields — Mobile phone radiation — Gamma radiation — Human lym- phocytes — Chromatid aberrations — DNA damage

Provides a study abstract reporting regional cerebral blood-flow changes during mobile-phone exposure in …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
See attached file(s) Mobile phone affects cerebral blood flow in humans 2006 Abstract Mobile phones create a radio-frequency electromagnetic field (EMF) around them when in use, the effects of which on brain physiology in humans are not well known. We studied the effects of a commercial mobile phone on regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in healthy humans using positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. Positron emission tomography data was acquired using a double-blind, counterbalanced study design with 12 male subjects performing a computer- controlled verbal working memory task (letter 1-back). Explorative and objective voxel-based statistical analysis revealed that a mobile phone in operation induces a local decrease in rCBF beneath the antenna in the inferior temporal cortex and an increase more distantly in the prefrontal cortex. Our results provide the first evidence, suggesting that the EMF emitted by a commercial mobile phone affects rCBF in humans. These results are consistent with the postulation that EMF induces changes in neuronal activity.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My name is Brittany Harris my anatomy has gone through years of torture from scalar ways and radio frequencies, and subliminal messaging. It started in year 2016 and got way worse in year 2022. My face is constantly being burned, my lower belly regions, genitals are nonstop targeted by these weapons. I've cried for help every day , so far I haven't found anything to block or shield my anatomy from being targeted by these waves, and lasers.

These systems are being used to attack innocent Americans all across the county in a targeted operation. We’re being lied to about the health effects of low intensity, long duration, exposure to EMF, EF, radio, and microwave radiation. Parts of the federal government are either complicit or assisting in these attacks against Targeted Individuals and their families

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I had began receiving Havana Syndrome like symptoms upon receiving my equipment from the Pittsburgh CDC location for a job as a contractor at the CDC. I experienced symptoms related to psychosis and felt that I was a targeted individual - someone who experiences V2K and is harassed by a mob of people. My router was acting funny as well - https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09G5W9R6R?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title - and I began receiving odd search results through linked router. I was able to work fulltime as a contractor but due to the work environment as well as my brief psychosis but somewhat believe I was being studied. I previously had a galaxy s20 I believe as well as Iphone 13 max, both 5G related phones in my tenure as a contractor there. I never received treatment and symptoms relieved after quitting the position.
