ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hello. I am extremely concerned with the amount of toxic EMF radiation that my children and I are exposed to every single day. I am questioning if some of our health issues are related to this EMF exposure- ringing in our ears, heart palpitations, or body aches when handling electronic devices like laptops and phones. Please get rid of the smart meters outside of our homes which are poisoning us and invading our privacy. Remove the 5G towers that are in our neighborhoods and near schools. Children are even more susceptible to EMF radiation than adults. Manufacture headphones that are safer to be on our heads for hours at a time like the "ibrain airtube headphones". Unfortunately, the quality of the few brands that do make them is very poor. We spend around $65 dollars per headphone set and they only last a couple of months before they break. This EMF radiation surrounds us all day in our homes and literally almost everywhere else. Please study the harmful effects and put laws and safety regulations in place to protect us. Make safer products to protect us, too, like the airtube headphones. Thank you.

The commenter reports heart palpitations, sleep disruption and blood-sugar effects associated with 5G and…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Dear Mr. Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, Thank you for allowing the citizens of the United States the opportunity to share our experiences with non native EMFs and the adverse affects they have had on our bodies. I have had heart palpitations for years, not knowing where they came from. When my husband's family recently had an emergency, we went to a country and area that does not have 5g. All of my heart palpitations disappeared while I was there for six months, but as soon as I returned to the United States, the heart palpitations started again. I was in a room with 5g wifi and there is also a 5g tower about a mile down the road. I could not sleep for a month, until I was forced to move into a home with no wifi and no 5g tower close by. My symptoms immediately went away. These nnEMFs can also worsen blood sugar (which I also have experienced). I know I am not the only one who has had an adverse effect from 5g towers and wifi. It affects each person differently. Thank you for all that you are doing to protect the innocent and vulnerable citizens of America. We pray that God continues to grant you wisdom and strength. May God bless and protect you.

The commenter presents Jack Kruse's and Robert Becker's ideas on mitochondrial, calcium-signaling and oth…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am submitting this comment in response to HHS’s Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. Neurosurgeon Dr. Jack Kruse views wireless radiation—cell phones, Wi-Fi, 5G, and other man-made “non-native electromagnetic fields” (nnEMF or non-native EMF)—as a major driver of modern disease through disruption of mitochondrial function, cellular water structure, circadian timing, and quantum biological processes. Robert O. Becker's work found proved these same drivers of disease. Kruse emphasizes non-thermal (not just heating) effects and links them to quantum biology: Mitochondrial dysfunction and water disruption: nnEMF impairs mitochondrial water production, causes cellular dehydration, increases reactive oxygen species, raises mitochondrial heteroplasmy, and reduces energy efficiency. Water is described as a carrier of electromagnetic information from the sun into cells; microwaves and nnEMF disrupt this. Stress response and signaling: It triggers a massive cellular stress response mimicking leptin resistance, a heart attack, or panic attack. It can cause chronic sympathetic nervous system overdrive (“microwave sickness” described in older Russian literature), leading to poor sleep, adrenal issues, cardiovascular problems, and more. Calcium signaling, DNA, and other effects: Interference with calcium secondary messengers, non-linear DNA damage, disruption of synchronization with the Earth’s magnetic field, and impaired cellular timing/coherence. Reproductive and developmental impacts: Kruse specifically warns against keeping phones in front pockets, citing potential effects on sperm, testosterone, and germ cells (with implications for offspring). He has discussed fertility concerns more broadly in the context of device proximity and urban/wireless environments. Kruse frequently references the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) animal studies (showing associations with certain tumors in rats from cell-phone-type RF radiation) and older Russian research on microwave effects, arguing that safety standards based only on thermal effects are inadequate. the negative health impacts of wireless radiation are real and proven. 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.

The commenter attributes heart irregularities to a nearby 5G tower, reports improvement after shielding a…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
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 concerned member of the public. Five years ago, I experienced random (or so I thought) heart irregularities that I had not experienced before. I could not find the source. Then I started researching 5G towers and the effect they--and related technologies--were affecting people. I dug deeply. I even hired someone who was expert at discovering if and how much radiation was being absorbed in people's bodies (when exposed) and how much radiation was in various environments. Come to find out that my body was absorbing a great deal of radiation! Then discovered that there was a 5G tower aligned with the window in my bedroom! I then purchased a specialized blanket and equipment to mitigate that exposure and ultimately moved to a semi-rural area with no proximity to such towers and myu heart fluctuations ceased! I therefore 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.

The commenter describes nearly a decade of neurological, sleep, pain, gastrointestinal and other symptoms…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have been tortured by what can only be explained as emf/rf type frequency for almost a decade now. I have a constant "static" ringing sound in my head accompanied with severe "pressure" migraines, nausea, gastrointestinal issues, vertigo, memory loss, dream manipulation, joint degradation, muscle loss, sleep disorders, uncontrollable involuntary movements/jerking, weakness, chest pains, circulation issues, as well as multiple tooth loss/premature tooth decay issues from the "pressure" in my skull & sinuses, & a severe increase in nerve sensitivity, etc...These are just a few of the major issues I've dealt with in the last decade, especially the last 6 or 7 years...from what i firmly believe to be emf/rf exposure.

The commenter cites a book's discussion of funding differences in RF research and international limits, a…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
From the book The Non-tinfoil Guide to EMFs by Nicholas Pineault: As Martin Blank, PhD reports in Overpowered: since 1990, Lai has been tracking the studies of the health effects of RF radiation on humans published around the world. He has hundreds of studies in his data base. Approximately 30% of the studies were funded by the wireless industry and 70% are funded by other sources that are presumably more independent. Of the industry-funded studies, 27% demonstrated a biological effect in human resulting from RF exposure vs. 68% for the independents. Lai explains that “a lot of the studies being done right now are purely as PR tools for the industry.” The US & Canada FCC limit for RF radiation is 61.4 Volts/meter. The next closest is Belgium (21), Russia, China, Italy, Luxembourg, & Switzerland (6), and Austria (.02). Sleep disturbances resulting in fatigue can occur from as low as .047 V/m. REM sleep is affected at 13.72 V/m. Male fertility is affected as low as .036 V/m with testosterone being negatively affected at 43.42 V/m. Brain function is affected at .14 V/m (headaches, behavioral problems), .55 V/m (memory), 1.94 V/m (blood-brain barrier leakage), 11.07 (oxidative stress on the cornea), and 13 V/m (oxidative stress on the brain). Heart function is affected at .05 V/m (cardio vascular problems in general), 1.19 V/m (calcium metabolism in the heart), and 20 V/m (blood pressure, heart rate). Children are affected starting at .11 V/m (headaches, inattention), .33 V/m (ADHD), .78 V/m (memory), .87 V/m (leukemia), 2.17 V/m (kidney development problems), and 25 V/m (bone growth problems). This is going to be the fate of mankind wherever 5G is used. I wouldn’t want that on my conscience.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Where to even begin... 30 years ago cancer was listed as number 10 on the list of mortality causes and today in 2026 it is listed in the number one spot as the top way someone will likely die. One in three people in our country today have cancer. Why is this? It only seems logical that the only thing that has changed within the last 30 years is the introduction of electromagnetic fields of radiation into our lives 24/7 365 via cell phone cell phone towers and Wi-Fi. Shortly after my son was born I had crippling pains in my GI tract that took years to finally realize it was from using my computer with Wi-Fi. After hardwiring my computer to ethernet I no longer have these GI issues at all and can comfortably use the computer. I did an experiment of keeping my cell phone turned off for several weeks not using it at all and just from doing that for the first time ever I had absolutely no PMS symptoms at all and absolutely no issues with my ovulation. Upon turning the cell phone back on immediately I started getting a headache and having chest pains. Just getting away to smaller towns where there is still LTE towers I feel so much better lighter happier more energetic and then immediately when I return to the city where all the 5G towers are I get tired fatigued irritable headache heart palpitations... The ONLY thing that has provided me with relief (besides avoidance) are BluShield devices. Without BluShield devices I could not function and would be bedridden. I long for the days when I could go to dinner be out and about in public go to the ballet go to the city to the art galleries etc and be able to live a normal life without being in so much pain and discomfort because of all of the cell phone towers Wi-Fi and cell phones being used. I'm seriously looking into moving to the national radio quiet zone near the green Bank observatory to get some relief. Sadly, though, it appears that school there is starting to use Wi-Fi now so it will be curious to study the results of that for example if the kids are now absent many more days due to illnesses as they were not sick before the introduction of wi-fi.. to look into the numbers of that in some kind of study and to study the connection between EMF and the horrifying rise in autism and ADHD to look and compare communities such as the Amish who do not use technology and their cancer rates to the rest of the country where cell phones and Wi-Fi are used.. I desperately want to go back to the days such as in the 90s where all we had was landline or even the early 2000s where it was hardwired internet I just want to feel good and have energy and be able to connect with the world and people without having to put myself at risk of getting cancer to do so. Unfortunately, 99.99% of the population seems absolutely addicted to their cell phones. If they can't give up their addictions even if it means they are destroying their health maybe a viable solution would be to install giant BluShield devices right by cell phone towers... "Where there is risk there must be choice" but, unfortunately, we have no choice because cell phone towers and the radiation they admit is everywhere. You simply cannot get away from it. We need to be able to have a choice! We need places/ cities where there are no cell phone towers and no wi-fi so people can make a CHOICE for themselves whether they want to live in a safe zone or not a safe zone- we need those choices!

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My husband and I have been tormented for the past four years by a piercing noise that seems to be coming through the walls of our home. This noise began immediately after Entergy Arkansas installed smart meters in our area. I have had pain, headaches, insomnia and horrible depression. My husband had a heart attack, quadruple bypass surgery and is still having trouble with afib that is not being controlled with medication. I have literally begged Entergy to let us have our old analog meter. I have signed opt out papers but Entergy will not help us. I've filed a complaint with the attorney general of Arkansas but Entergy actually lied to them about coming to our home. People are suffering horribly, needlessly, all in the name of more data! This is communism!! My husband and I worked and paid for out home and now we're being tortured because a company only concerned about profit is telling us what we can do in our own home!! Please, please help us before it's too late!

Describes symptoms and extensive work, housing, transport and healthcare barriers attributed to wireless …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Comment on Docket HHS-OASH-2026-0397: Request for Information on EMFs, RF Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure Question 2: Perspective I am submitting this comment as an individual who experiences adverse symptoms from exposure to wireless radiation and other electromagnetic fields. Question 3: Personal Experience a. Sources: I react to cell phones, cell towers, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, 5G, smart meters, wireless printers, and other smart or wireless devices. c. Symptoms: When exposed, I experience heart palpitations, elevated blood pressure, headaches, dizziness, nausea, disorientation, and elevated and erratic blood sugar. f. Steps taken to reduce exposure: I have no wireless internet or any kind of wireless device in my home other than a 4G cell phone for emergencies, which is kept off all of the time unless needed. Avoiding exposure has reshaped nearly every part of my life: Work: I cannot work anywhere other than at home. Housing: I cannot live in apartments or near other houses, buildings, or cell towers. Finding a safe home is becoming harder every year as wireless infrastructure expands. Transportation: I drive a 2003 vehicle because I cannot ride in most modern cars, which are full of wireless systems. Public life: I cannot stay in public places for long, and I cannot spend much time in the homes of friends and family. Healthcare and government services: I have had to walk out of medical appointments and appointments in government buildings because I became too sick to stay. Hospitals are among the hardest places for me to be. During one hospital stay, doctors did not understand why I became sicker and sicker until they realized that a wireless heart monitor was the cause and I improved once it was removed. However, the exposure usually comes from so many different sources in the building and the other equipment that the exposure cannot be removed or lowered enough. Because of this, I have had to avoid hospital stays or leave earlier than my doctors recommended. This is a serious problem when I need medical care. This is not a minor inconvenience. It limits my ability to earn a living, find housing, use transportation, receive medical care, access government services, and maintain relationships. Question 13(j) and Question 11(d) and (f): Wireless Medical Devices My doctor prescribed medical equipment that I cannot use because it relies on Bluetooth. As medical devices increasingly become wireless by default, people who react to RF exposure are being shut out of care they need. Wired or non-wireless alternatives should remain available for medical devices, and patients should be told whether a device emits RF and whether its wireless functions can be turned off. Question 11: Sensitive Populations Yes, exposure assessment should differ for sensitive populations. In addition to children and pregnant women, HHS should recognize people who experience symptoms from RF/EMF exposure as a population that needs specific study and protection (11g). Case reports have documented people developing symptoms after nearby 5G installations [18], and studies of people living near cell towers have reported symptoms such as headache, dizziness, and sleep problems [19, 20], as well as changes in blood sugar [25]. Children absorb more RF radiation into their brains and bodies than adults do [1, 2, 21]. Prenatal exposure has been linked to neurodevelopmental and behavioral changes in animals [3], and RF exposure has been associated with effects on memory performance in adolescents [4]. Question 12: Evidence of Effects Below Current Limits Current federal limits were set in 1996 and are based mainly on heating. Research has reported biological effects at levels below these limits, including oxidative stress [5], DNA damage [6, 7, 8], reproductive harm [9, 10, 11, 12], and tumors in animals exposed over their lifetimes [13]. Reviews conclude that non-thermal effects are not accounted for by current limits [14, 22, 23]. Question 14: Environmental Effects RF radiation may also affect wildlife, including bird and insect orientation and insect exposure at higher frequencies [15, 16, 17]. Recommendations [24] 1. Fund independent research on long-term and cumulative exposure. 2. Develop science-based exposure limits that account for non-thermal effects. 3. Require safety testing of wireless devices before they go on the market, and track health problems after. 4. Improve oversight and enforcement of exposure limits. 5. Reduce exposures for children, vulnerable groups, and wildlife. 6. Require wired or non-wireless options for medical devices. 7. Create low-EMF areas in hospitals, medical offices, and government buildings. 8. Require clear disclosure of RF emissions from devices, vehicles, and infrastructure.

The Danish EHS Association describes members' reported symptoms and exposure-related access difficulties …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Comment from EHS Association in Denmark (EHS-Foreningen – https://ehsf.dk) The Danish EHS Association represents people who experience adverse health effects from a wide variety of EMF and RF-EMF emitting sources. The association currently have around 500 members. Adverse health effects (insomnia, heart palpitations, headache, migraine, restlessness in the body, fatigue, cognitive issues (brain fog, memory issues, etc.), burning skin, nausea, dizziness, joint pain, pain in organs, tinnitus, stress and more) are often reported by members to be related to: - Cell towers - Wi-Fi routers and devices - Bluetooth devices - Cellphones and smartphones - Wireless speakers - Smart meters - High-voltage cables in the ground - PV solar inverters - Robotic lawnmowers with active boundary wires - Induction and microwave cooking - EV charging stations and EV´s - Dirty electricity - Stray currents - "Regular" 50 Hz electrical fields or EMF from wires, household appliances, and electronics such as TVs, stereos, computers, etc. (some members turn everything off at night, or do not have electricity in their homes at all) Members also experience specific settings as being particularly often related to adverse health effects, such as: - Being in crowds in general: cinemas, concerts, family gatherings and more (many people = many cellphones = high exposure) - Using public transport such as buses, trains and boats (a closed metal box + many cellphones = high exposure) - Being in hospitals (WiFi, Bluetooth, DECT phone systems, Wireless medical equipment and many people) - Being in airports (many people with cellphones, wearables, etc. + radar) - Flying - Beaches and harbours with radar nearby Recommendations: 1. Inform general practitioners that they should register and notify the HHS (e.g. via an online form) when a patient reports adverse health effects related to EMF or RF-EMF exposure. To our knowledge, nothing is being systematically reported or registered when patients discuss these issues with their practitioner. We are sometimes contacted by affected individuals because nurses at clinics recommend contacting us. 2. Initiate a survey among general practitioners to provide an estimate of how often patients report having EMF or RF-EMF-related issues. 3. Set up an online form in which people who personally experience adverse health effects related to EMF or RF-EMF exposure can state which symptoms (headache, insomnia, dizziness, etc.) they experience and in which settings (scrolling on a smartphone, staying somewhere close to a cell tower, traveling by bus/train, going to a concert, etc.). 4. Make general information about how to lower exposure when using a cellphone widely available to the public. This is a brochure with the Scandinavian countries' precautionary recommendations when using a cellphone: https://foreninglet-cms-files.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/4244/xZ3LDeGaQmzZ.pdf Thank you for providing individuals, families, health care providers, researchers and scientists an opportunity to be heard on this critical public health issue.
