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 person who has been educated about the dangers of EMFs and RF and Wireless Radiation Exposure. After years of exposure from a beeper and cell phone attached at the hip of a family member and using a laptop on the arm of a chair as he sat in that chair, he had a massive infection that became a tumor that would be called cancer, likely due to all that radiation he was exposed to. I thank God for Hope 4 Cancer in Mexico for bringing him back to health and ridding his body of the toxic tumor that formed. We need Hope 4 Cancer Centers across America to help others recover from infections (cancer) caused by EMFs, RF and Wireless Radiation Exposure. The information about the damages caused by EMFs, RF and Wireless Radiation Exposure is being hidden, most people going about their lives are not exposed to this important information. This truly is about life and death, people and the planet are being damaged because of their exposure to these things on a daily basis and with more and more of the towers and satellites being put up the humans, animals, bees, vegetation, all of the planet is being damaged. This excessive use must be stopped and looked at carefully so that we can be smart about how we use technology. Money and the powers that be, who seem to be in control, need to step back. This needs to be investigated deeply, our lives and the life of the planet are at stake here. 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.

Please research and make public all finding on EMF health changes, effects, dangers, symptoms and possible treatments to exposure.

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 family member and myself concerned. My family and I believe that our health has been negatively affected by the radiofrequency radiation emitted from smart meters. Throughout a period of several months, we developed new and worsening symptoms, including unexplainable severe headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and anxiety. I began experiencing unexplained anxiety and shortness of breath, which led to an asthma diagnosis. During the same period, I also developed unexplained dizziness and tinnitus. Since medical professionals were unable to identify the underlying cause, I received a diagnosis of Meniere's syndrome. Additionally, I noticed that my breathing problems and dizziness became worse when I lay down in my bedroom. I found myself feeling anxious about going to bed. Furthermore, my spouse has been experiencing cardiac palpitations and continues to require ongoing medical supervision. At that time, it was difficult to understand why these symptoms showed slight improvement during our stay at my friend's place. Following an unexpected decline in health, we discovered that a smart meter had been installed on our house's exterior wall, positioned adjacent to our bedroom without our awareness or authorization. We made the request to revert to an analog meter, the utility company declined to make the change due to their established policy and only offered us the option to opt out of the digital system. Opting out of a smart meter, covering the wall and window with some anti-radiation shields, and moving out of the bedroom provided some improvement in our symptoms. The intense dizziness, breathing complications, and anxiety feelings gradually diminished. Despite these considerations, the radiation from smart meters—which is similar to radiation from other wireless devices, wireless transmission systems, and other infrastructure we cannot control—still has a big impact on our daily lives. We believe that radiofrequency radiation weaknes immune system function, subsequently leading to physical decline, reduced overall health, and the potential development of chronic conditions. My spouse and I both still experience chronic headaches, sleep disruption, fatigue, continuous tinnitus, worsening allergic reactions including asthma and respiratory difficulties . Following maxillofacial surgery, I had a titanium mesh implanted many years ago. I had no issues before a smart meter was put on our house wall. We believe that following RF exposure, I developed maxillofacial sinus complications," Circumferential mucosal thickening of the right maxillary sinus with a central nodular thickening with a coarse calcification suggestive of a mycetoma" that necessitated surgical treatment. After that, since doctors haven't been able to find the cause of the pain, we believe that exposure to RF radiation may be contributing to the persistent pain I still experience in the side of my face where the titanium mesh is located, which occasionally becomes quite severe, radiating to the head.  Furthermore, as a person who is very sensitive, I have seen more problems with electrical sensitivity and unusual skin feelings. Even though I only wear clothes made from natural materials and have eliminated all plastic from my home environment, these issues continue to happen. We believe there are significantly more individuals like us who have experienced regular exposure to radiofrequency radiation in their daily lives and subsequently experienced health deterioration. We strongly believe that daily exposure to wireless radiation is contributing to the acceleration of health problems across all populations. We encourage you to explore the available evidence and research on this important matter. My family and 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. My family and 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.

Docket: HHS-OASH-2026-0397 FR Doc No: 2026-19252 Comment Submitted By: Rex Funk Affiliation: EMF Consultant / Member of the Public Attachments: Three peer-reviewed studies (see attached PDFs) To the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health: I am submitting this comment as an individual with direct personal experience of adverse health effects from radiofrequency (RF) exposure, and now as an EMF consultant working with others who share these experiences. BACKGROUND AND PERSONAL EXPERIENCE In 2018 I became aware of negative health reactions to RF exposure from cell phones, Wi-Fi, and related wireless sources. I learned to reduce my exposure and to avoid exposures in public spaces. This has been a tormenting experience and it remains very difficult to function in mainstream society, because RF sources are now essentially everywhere. I am unable to work in typical job settings. I now work as an EMF consultant helping people who are also noticing reactions to RF and other forms of electromagnetic fields (EMF). Some of my clients are even more sensitive than I am and have suffered greatly — unable to function normally in society or even in their own homes — simply because these devices were assumed safe without proper consideration of true safety. They must spend thousands of dollars to identify and mitigate environmental stressors, and many cannot afford to improve their situation at all. RESPONSES TO SPECIFIC RFI QUESTIONS 1. Effects below current exposure limits. The assumption that heating (thermal) effects are the only relevant biological mechanism is not acceptable. Thousands of independent, peer-reviewed studies report biological effects beyond thermal mechanisms, and this literature has been largely ignored in U.S. policy. I have attached three such studies for your consideration. HHS should commission systematic reviews of this body of evidence rather than relying solely on assessments that discount it. 2. Sensitive populations. Children are being enabled to grow up in a sea of RF radiation without adequate study of possible effects on the developing body. This should not be tolerated. Dedicated pediatric research, and precautionary measures in schools pending that research, should be a funding priority. 3. People with electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS). Federal research agendas should include affected individuals as a defined population: clinical characterization, diagnostic criteria, disability accommodations, and access to low-EMF environments. Many people like my clients cannot work, attend school, or use public services. 4. Practical guidance and mitigation access. HHS should publish plain- language exposure-reduction guidance and consider how to make assessment and mitigation affordable. At present, relief is available only to those who can pay thousands of dollars out of pocket. 5. Research priorities. Highest priorities in my view: long-term studies of chronic low-level exposure; personal dosimetry reflecting real- world use; studies of children and adolescents; and mechanistic work on non-thermal biological effects. I support transparent, science-informed decision-making and urge HHS to treat the existing independent literature — and the lived experience of thousands of affected people — with the seriousness it deserves.

I am not a scientist or tech person. I only know what i have personally observed and felt. In the past five years, I have noticed a decline of pollinators, bees and butterflies, in my organic chemically-free gardens. I have also been experiencing dizzy spells for no reason when I go outside or in public places. My home has low radiation levels which I monitor. With the introduction of 5G, smart meters and discontinuation of copper based landlines, etc the world is being surrounded more and more by wireless radiation. Please, it is time to review safe radiation level standards and put a hold onto what we are doing. Please, place better safety issues on this technology! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Create a wonderful day!

I am hypersensitive to EMFs. Why is the electric company allowed to force dangerous smart meters on our houses. What about the Energy Policy Act of 2005? Help us and stop them

This court case is happening in America is because of the FCC abusing its power authority, denying people protection/forcing exposure. For me a multitude of neurological symptoms occur as a result of exposure to pulsed and modulated RFR. The symptoms described in the scientific and medical literature I suffer with include headaches, sleep problems, heart palpitations, ringing in the ears, dizziness, nausea, skin rashes, depression, memory, and cognitive problems, among others. In my experience, exposure avoidance is the only effective management.

Ces épouvantables d'être electrosensible jai.peur je ne peu plus travailler de la misere a vivre et je reste isolé dans un camp dans le bois seul aidez-nous svp
