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 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.

Comment on Docket No. HHS-OASH-2026-0397, Request for Information on Radiofrequency and Electromagnetic Field Exposure and Human Health I am a father in Central Florida and have worked in information technology since the 1990s. I use technology every day and I am not afraid of it. I am submitting this comment because I believe we can use it in healthier ways, and on behalf of the many people I have spoken with who share my experience (but will not comment). MY EXPERIENCE I have learned the distinct effects of each EMF issue: wireless signals, dirty electricity and magnetic fields. Wireless: Around 5G networks and crowds of 5G phones, I feel stress and tightness in my chest and it becomes harder to breathe. The longer I stay, the worse I feel. In town I feel foggy, unmotivated and low, and I rely on caffeine to get through the day. In nature I feel lighter, clear-headed and motivated. Dirty electricity: Electrical noise on household wiring from AC/DC power adapters affects me much like 5G. It causes stress in my body and weakens me over time. Magnetic fields: During Florida summers, when air-conditioning load on the grid is highest, I feel a heavy drag on my body that weakens me. It eases noticeably in the fall when demand drops. I feel my best when I keep my phone on airplane mode and only turn it on to 4G when needed, plug my computer and phone into ethernet whenever possible, and use wired satellite internet when traveling. I disabled 5G because it causes a distinct feeling of stress in my body. If I allow that frequency to be on for an extended period of time, I become numb to that initial sensation and my cognitive abilities diminish. I have moved outside of town. This has a real cost: my daughter wants to live in town for access to school and culture, and that conflict strains our whole family. I understand the science on symptoms like mine is not settled. That is why I respectfully ask HHS to consider the following. RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Test before deployment. Fund independent health research on new frequencies before public release, including properly blinded studies of people who report sensitivity, so these experiences can be confirmed or ruled out rigorously. 2. Promote wired internet. Many people do not know phones and computers can be connected by cable. Support wired broadband in rural areas and public education about wired options. 3. Wired schools. Encourage schools to use wired connections for student devices and to minimize wireless exposure in classrooms. 4. Low-signal nature zones. Designate natural areas where towers are not aimed, with satellite phones available for emergencies, and support research on effects on birds, insects and wildlife. 5. Satellite signals. Current satellite rules appear safe. Please be mindful not to increase power output toward Earth. Test areas with and without satellite frequencies to establish a real control group. Give areas of nature and Indigenous lands a break from satellite and wireless signals if they do not ask for it. 6. Magnetic fields. Measure residential magnetic-field exposure in high-load regions such as Florida, and support burying power lines. 7. Clean DC power. Create clear building-code paths for DC-only homes, encourage DC and battery-powered appliances through rebates, and set standards to reduce electrical noise ("dirty electricity") from power adapters. We do not need to fear technology. We need to evolve how we use it. Thank you for opening this record to members of the public. Zachariah Stillwater Melbourne Florida

18. Additional info: Thank you for taking Comments on this important health issue. People, trees, plants, animals, and insects (esp. bees), all show negative biological effects when exposed to EMF. A good amount of people have sensitivity and experience negative health effects immediately, or faster and with greater intensity, than others. They post about their symptoms online and try to move away from the damaging energy source if they can. Many shielding and grounding products have appeared in the marketplace to help meet this need. Some people have also experienced weaponized EMF/microwave/directed energy attacks intended to harm the target biologically and mentally. This is HAVANA SYNDROME/ DEBE (directed energy biological effects). There are many news stories and posts on social media about this with people crying out for help. (There are many Comments on this database by these people as well.) I know some of these people and experience it myself as a civilian. It is a silent global epidemic which includes children and senior citizens. Victims of this Weaponization can’t move away from the damaging energy source because the targeted attacks follow them. Also, the levels of intensity for these attacks expose victims to more destructive effects including damaging the brain and vital organs (heart, GI, etc), hastening deterioration and death. There are currently no products available in the marketplace offering protection from Havana Syndrome/DEBE. This is an unmet need. Research indicates the attacks use cell towers and satellites which can track an individual anywhere on Earth. They may also incorporate evolving AI, drone, and “nano-“ technology. Disturbingly, the US has no current means for innocent Americans to get help. THIS MUST CHANGE WITH HHS HELP. Rep Ana Paulina Luna’s recent Congressional hearing reported that MKULTRA NEVER ENDED. This program and its hundreds of sub-programs weaponized technology and pharmaceuticals against innocent Americans WITHOUT CONSENT treating them like lab rats and destroying their mental and physical health. THIS WAS LEGALLY BANNED BUT HAS CONTINUED ILLEGALLY THROUGH TODAY per expert Congressional testimony. More hearings need to be held to protect the health and human rights of Americans. At a minimum, HHS should treat EMFs like smoking. EMFs pose greater health risks than smoking to our biology and ecosystems, especially at 5G and 6G higher power. Americans should be able to choose to OPT IN or OPT OUT for EMF exposure. There should be EMF-FREE zones like NO SMOKING ZONES, EMF-FREE TOWNS, and even EMF-FREE STATES (just as there are now “geo-engineering-free” states and “artificial-meat-free” states that have banned those practices). Smart meters, smart cars, and the Internet of Things smart products should be OPTIONAL with an EMF-FREE version also required. Children should be protected in schools, community centers, and hospitals. Americans should be able to decide to value their health over high-tech speed and convenience. Another analogy is LEAD, lead has been removed from paint and other common products. A consumer is given a Warning and must choose to OPT IN to buy a harmful product containing lead. In addition, regulations should be updated to keep pace with the changing technology. Current accepted limits of EMF now show to cause brain damage. Pulsed microwave energy within current US limits causes brain damage (Psychology Today) https://targetedjustice.substack.com/p/what-havana-syndrome-reveals-about?utm_source=publication-search The cases of HAVANA SYNDROME / DEBE are increasing. A Civilian Havana Syndrome Registry has been started for those lucky enough to have a doctor trained in diagnosis. https://targetedjustice.substack.com/p/january-2026-civilian-registry-update?utm_source=publication-search But the number of Americans online complaining of symptoms indicates a silent health epidemic that could be as large as 500k-1 million victims. HHS should provide doctors with diagnostic guidance. BER v. CDC is a legal case filed on behalf of civilians suing the CDC and the NIH for parity in diagnostic guidance already available to federal employees. The lawsuit is not asking for compensation, only for ending arbitrary and capricious discrimination of civilians regarding diagnosis and treatment.

My friend had to quit her job as a teacher because of the effects of RF. She missed out last weekend on a dear friend's wedding because she can't be around everyone having a cell phone on. Had a party at my house. Everyone turned off their cells except one person (we needed it for something on the television. She immediately got a headache and had to leave.

Please accept my attached comment regarding docket HHS-OASH-2026-0397. thank you... Davida Clegg

We need Health and Human Services to protect health and humans more than it protects telecommunications companies. It's OK for regulations on wireless radiation levels to be inconvenient for these companies; they will still build their towers, but the citizens of a town and the families at a school and the homeowners in a neighborhood should be protected from excessive radiation levels that impact vulnerable communities. The radiation limits should be designed to protect human health, not to maximise industry profits. Please bring the science to forefront in demanding reasonable radiation limits to protect vulnerable populations, and please support medical practitioners in recommending safe use of wirless technology.

Society S33, a non-profit association from Slovenia, submits the attached comment on Docket HHS-OASH-2026-0397. Summary: exposure standards and studies describe the source (power, frequency, distance, duration) but not two factors that, according to our measurements, determine the effect on the human biological system: the location at which the device and the person are situated, and the shape of the device, the building and the objects around them, including power line pylons. Two uncontrolled variables of this kind would explain why studies in this field do not replicate. We recommend that location and shape be recorded as controlled variables in future research, and we offer to take part in a blinded trial whose design is a matter of agreement.

Declaration of Toby Stover Toby Stover declares under penalty of perjury the following: 1. I live in Ulster County, New York. 2. I never gave consent, nor do I consent today, to continuous, involuntary exposure of pulsed modulated, biologically active electrical and radio frequency / microwave (RF/MW) radiation emitted into my home or on my property. 3. I was perfectly healthy, living in my home for many years with an analog electric utility meter but was made ill by the electrical and pulsed modulated RF/MW radiation coming from a “smart” digital electric utility meter which was installed on my property without my consent. 4. After having a grid-tied solar system installed on my home, Central Hudson Electric Company switched my mechanical analog meter to a “smart” electric utility meter without my knowledge. A number of weeks later, I became extremely ill and discovered that the company had switched out my meter. I contacted the electric company demanding that they remove the “smart” meter and return an analog meter. I was told by Central Hudson that the solar array would not work without a “smart” utility meter. After researching this, I discovered that solar arrays work perfectly well with analog meters but Central Hudson still refused to remove the “smart” meter. Since I was unable to live with the continuous pulsation of the smart meter I was left with the decision to either have to leave my home of 35 years or cut the electric line to the smart meter. I chose to cut the wire rather than be sickened in my home as I had no means to move. As a single woman in her 60’s, I was living without electricity for 9 months through the winter, using a wood cook stove and candles. I had to store food in a cooler and buy ice to keep it fresh. Finally I hired an electrician to disconnect my wiring to the “smart” meter & re-connect my home wiring to an analog meter which was on my barn. I was then able to use electricity in my home again. 5. However, having been injured by weeks of exposure to RF/MW pulsed radiation, many years later, I am still unable to go into buildings that are using smart meters or wifi. I cannot tolerate the radiation for more than a few minutes without becoming ill and must leave the area as I now have Eletromagnetic Radiation Syndrome, known as EMR Syndrome. This has made it difficult for me to travel as I cannot stay in hotels, motels or shop at stores where there is microwave radiation. As a professional musician, I am often hired to go into public buildings or play music for school shows. It is a frequent occurrence that today I can no longer spend much time in these buildings without my symptoms returning. I consider this a grave personal injury that has made my life much more difficult. 6. When I am exposed to RF/MW radiation, I experience severe pain and pressure in my head, especially in the forehead. I also feel tingling sensations on my skin as well as tightness in the chest, dizziness, nausea, difficulty concentrating and insomnia. I simply must leave the area as I feel sick around the microwave radiation. 7. Since I have been injured by “smart” meter radiation, I have become a member on the board of New York Safe Utility Meter Association, (NYSUMA). This organization has been working for years in the effort to legislate a safe utility meter choice to anyone who chooses to have returned, or to retain an analog utility meter. Analog utility meters have been used safely and successfully for many years. All utility companies should be required by law to provide analog meters to all consumers who choose to have them. Analog meters work perfectly well and are safe. No one should be forced to accept a device on their property that is a known health hazard. 8.

According to Public Law 90-602, October 18, 1968, AN ACT to amend the Public Health Service Act to provide for the protection of the public heath from radiation emissions from electronic products. “Subpart 3 - Electronic Product Radiation Control “DECLARATION OF PURPOSE “ Sec. 354.The Congress hereby declares that the public health and safety must be protected from the dangers of electric product radiation”. I declare under penalty of perjury the foregoing is true and correct. 10/22/26 Toby Stover
