Reports chest and upper-abdominal pain after using a medical-alert pendant described as 5G, with relief a…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I started using it a medical alert pendant that uses 5G a few weeks ago. On the second day, I started feeling pain in my upper stomach/center chest. Several days later I thought maybe it might be the 5G pendant I’m wearing so I took it off for the day. I just kept it nearby on the seat next to me. Within 24 hours my chest pain subsided and I no longer feel it now. It’s absolutely Positive that damn pendant and it’s 5G radiation. I know that because after being a weak pain-free, I tried depending on again for a few hours and within two hours of pain again I was feeling.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I want to know why I was burned out of nowhere with mmWave while I was in my bathroom. I want to know why I have moderately fast developing cataracts and why I hear those stupid AI voices. I don’t like feeling fatigued all the time and heart palpitations that have no physical explanation other than microwaves. I don’t appreciate my tax dollars going towards abuse and “research.”

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
We can not be about 1 km from 5G towers, headache, hart palpations, ear ring, pain in the heart. We can not live anywhere. This is a big crime against humanity.

Requests HHS-led independent review, updated protection, realistic exposure measurements, monitoring and …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I submit this as an individual consumer and family member, relying on peer-reviewed research, federal reports, and court findings cited below (Qs 2, 3). Concern (Qs 5, 6): FCC's RF limits date to 1996 and address only short-term tissue heating, not chronic exposure, pulsed/modulated signals, multi-source cumulative exposure, or children's thinner skulls. In Environmental Health Trust v. FCC (D.C. Cir. 2021), the court found the FCC failed to justify that its limits protect against non-cancer harms, citing unaddressed evidence on children and long-term exposure, and remanded the issue. HHS, not FCC, should lead on the health basis for any standard. Evidence below current limits (Q12): NTP's $30M study (2018) found "clear evidence" of heart schwannomas and "some evidence" of brain/adrenal tumors in RF-exposed rats, with DNA damage reported in a follow-up (Smith-Roe et al. 2020). Italy's Ramazzini Institute independently found the same rare tumor at lower exposures comparable to cell tower emissions (Falcioni et al. 2018). IARC classifies RF-EMF as "possibly carcinogenic" (Group 2B, 2011). Reviews report oxidative stress (Yakymenko et al. 2016), reduced sperm quality (Adams et al. 2014), and DNA strand breaks (Lai & Singh 1995; REFLEX project 2004). Technologies changing cumulative exposure (Q13): 5G/small cells near homes and windows; Wi-Fi transmitting continuously in classrooms; smart meters installed on homes, often without real opt-out, pulsing near bedrooms; satellite broadband (e.g., Starlink) creating a new planet-wide RF source; networked cameras (e.g., Flock) on public poles with cellular modems and no resident notice; wireless earbuds transmitting inside the ear canal for hours daily, especially in teens; EVs producing low-frequency magnetic fields in cabins where children ride (IARC links this field type to childhood leukemia); AI data centers driving new high-voltage lines near communities; LED/"smart" lighting suppressing melatonin (AMA 2016) and adding RF transmitters with little safety study. Environmental effects (Q14): Thielens et al. (2018) found insects absorb more RF above 6 GHz, the direction 5G/6G are heading. Levitt, Lai & Manville (2021–22) reviewed reported effects on birds and insects, noting no federal environmental RF standard exists. Sensitive populations (Q11): Children, pregnant women, and implant recipients need separate risk evaluation. France restricted Wi-Fi for under-3 childcare settings in 2015. Disclosure (Q9): Residents deserve public antenna/exposure maps, advance notice before installations near homes and schools, clear device transmission labeling, and a genuine no-fee smart meter opt-out. Research priorities (Qs 10, 16, 17): Fund independent long-term cohort studies with real exposure measurement, especially in children; commission NTP follow-up at current 5G/mmWave frequencies; build a national RF/EMF environmental monitoring network; create an adverse-event reporting pathway; direct FDA to test consumer devices under realistic body-contact conditions. This research must be free of industry funding. Conclusion (Q18): We have deployed unprecedented, involuntary population-wide EMF exposure without proving it safe. Credible research has found cancer signals, DNA damage, oxidative stress, and reproductive effects. I ask HHS to investigate this independently and thoroughly, and prioritize human and environmental health over the pace of commercial deployment.

An adult educator requests plain-language exposure guidance, attention to vulnerable groups, cumulative-e…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Comment on Docket HHS-OASH-2026-0397 Perspective (Q1): Individual / adult educator in a community Lifelong Learners setting. Not a physician. I teach practical exposure-reduction, not products. Q8 — What should be disclosed People need plain-language facts at the point of use: phones are radio transmitters; distance drops exposure sharply; night-time household wireless can be switched off; wearables and routers add to the load even when you are not “on a call.” Federal consumer and school guidance should say that in one page, without a store attached. Q10 — Sensitive populations Exposure assessment should treat children, pregnant women, and those with implants or unexplained symptoms as groups that may need extra caution while the science is incomplete — not as proof of a single disease. Schools and childcare should have the option of wired connections and phones stored off the body. Q11 — Evidence below current U.S. limits IARC classified RF electromagnetic fields as *possibly carcinogenic to humans* (Group 2B, 2011). The National Toxicology Program reported tumor findings in male rats after long-term RF exposure. The D.C. Circuit in *Environmental Health Trust v. FCC* (2021) found the FCC had not adequately explained its decision to retain 1996-era limits in light of subsequent evidence on children and long-term exposure. Those three items are enough to justify a current HHS evidence review. They are not, by themselves, a diagnosis of any person. Q15 — Research priorities Highest gaps: real-world *cumulative* exposure (phone + Wi-Fi + infrastructure), non-thermal biological endpoints, pediatric and in-utero cohorts, and independent replication of NTP-type work at current waveforms (including 5G). Coordination: NIH for biology, FDA for device emissions and labeling, CDC for school/community guidance. Practical recommendation While agencies update the science, HHS can publish the same three habits already used in many public-health pages: increase distance, take the phone off the body, turn household transmitters down or off at night. That does not require a new standard to be finished first. Thank you for this opportunity to comment.

Reports household symptoms after replacement of an analog meter, partial relief after smart-meter removal…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My life has undergone a drastic change since the analog meter was removed from my home. I was suddenly overcome with a headaches, nausea and an inability to concentrate. Another member of my family had to constantly take naps and a third member suddenly experienced a rise in blood pressure readings. When the symptoms showed no signs of subsiding, I contacted my electric company and asked for the opt-out option. I naively believed that for a charge of 15 dollars a month, I would receive my analog meter back. No such luck! The company had a digital meter put onto my home (for a fee of about 44 dollars.) All my family members felt immediate relief when the smart meter was removed from our home. It soon became clear, however, that the non-smart digital meter was also causing us health issues. I phoned our electric company, again, and begged them to remove the digital meter and return our analog meter. They replied that the digital meter has no "RF" and is, therefore, no different in safety from the analog meter. No matter how many times I told them that I was experiencing a downturn in my health, they kept repeating that the safety profile of the digital meter is no different than the analog meter. When I called an EMF professional down to my house, (another 1,000 dollar fee), he confirmed that the dirty electricity from several outlets in my home were so high, they "maxed out" his meter! I had no choice but to spend thousands more dollars (about 3,000 dollars) on EMF protection, and, although, the problem has improved, it is still there. The meter has become a daily struggle in my life, and I, now, think of my life in terms of "before the meter" and "after the meter." I was in middle of writing a book before my analog meter was removed from my home, and even with EMF protection, I haven't been able to conclude the book due to fatigue and trouble concentrating. And to think that I am being fined 15 dollars monthly for a meter that is making me sick! Many people cannot afford expensive EMF protection or may not even connect their symptoms to their meters! I could only imagine how many other families are suffering. When I go outdoors, I often feel a metallic taste in my mouth. This sensation only started after smart meters were put in my area. On days of humidity, the sensation is very strong. Just for the record, none of my family members have sensitivity to Wi-Fi or 5G. But we fear we may develop sensitivities due to the digital and smart meters pounding us all day. Please HHS! Please help! It is the job of the electric company to supply electricity, but as a resident of my home, I should be the one to decide the medium through which the electricity enters my home. We are a family that spends extra money to buy organic produce and high quality supplements, and it feels like all our efforts in the health arena is being negated by the digital meter. Please help! I want to finish writing my book. I want to be able to concentrate and I want to live a normal life again.

A pacemaker user reports severe symptoms and believes wireless and electrical equipment interfere with th…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
All stores are dangerous to anybody with a pacemaker. The wifi shuts off my pacemaker which makes me miserable. It takes 3 days to overcome the nausea in my brain. Sams club i just walked past the freezer section i lost my eyes 6 feet from the freezer doors ran outside the doors i got my eyes back but very weak in strength. Soon as i get outside the store all my vitals come back. Buffalo wings Has about 200 tvs as soon as I entered that place i felt miserable just walking in that building about 18 minutes later i ran outside so miserable i needed to call 911. Best buy it took 4 day's to recover from the wifis in that building Most grocery stores i have about 15 minutes to get outside or i have to ask someone to help me find the exit. I cannot have anything electronic in my house I can't sleep with a burning feeling in my head. Therefore most places need a sign on the door enter at your own risk with a pacemaker. People's lives are at risk just walking in a store. Most small restaurants are mostly safe for me. A electric car is very dangerous for a person with a heart saving device. EMPs are very dangerous with any high current loads without a shield to stop the leakage from any microwave towers.

Reports a decade of EMF sensitivities with neurological and cardiac symptoms, especially around towers. D…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have been battling EMF sensitivities for over 10 years. I get headaches, dizziness, irregular heartbeats, wiredness, insomnia,etc when exposed to cell phones, computers, wifi, cell towers, etc. This limits my ability to be in public places where there are cell towers nearby, wifi, bluetooth, and numerous cell phones that are inherent in crowds. But the biggest and most devastating are the cell towers. Even radio towers affect me. It is like being in a prison, my freedom limited as the government continues to push more and more radiation and EMF into our environments. Please bring some kind of real information by unbiased reaearchers and citizens experiences to the forefront. This is not in our heads. It is real!!!

Reports marked EMF sensitivity, repeated moves, costly mitigation and multiple health diagnoses. Attribut…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
My life and health have been ruined from the elevated, man-made EMFs in which we are living. I have moved 20+ times and attempted expensive house ‘remediation’ to block EMFs, to no avail. Severe heath problems have evolved—connective tissue disorder, mast cell activation, 2 heart arrhythmias, and a neurological condition and more. My body is so tuned in to the EMFs (all types—radio frequency, magnetic, electric, and dirty electricity being the worst for me), that I really don’t need expensive equipment to detect (yet, I have to confirm). There is no question that it is these pervasive, man-made EMFs that are driving my rapid health decline. I wish others were sensitive like me and could so clearly feel how destructive these are to us, humans, as well as all biology.

A teacher reports tinnitus, pain, cognitive difficulties, palpitations and sleep disruption associated wi…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Tinnitus arrived the day the neighboors had the AMF-antennas installed in their houses, which I did not know untill the day after. 8 years later, I still have tinnitus, but after 5G coverage started, I started having an additional, darker tone, so now I have 2 different ones. I really could not believe this had to do with EMF exposure, but experiencing like a spear through my brain when one of the neighboors plugged in their electric car charger and hearing a car-charger-park like thousends of screams (I did not manage to have a conversation because of how it affected my brain) I finally had to admit this was a cause to my health problems. I experience pains in my head and in my body, brain fog, difficulties finding words, fatigue, anxiety and heart pulpifications after exposures to wifi, Bluetooth, 4G, 4G+, 5G. We now have had wifi 6 at work installed, along smart heating owens, the latter 50 cm from my desk. I teach middle school, and sometimes there are 28 active computers in the room, along a smart TV or a projector using Bluetooth and an access point placed on top of the entrance door. About 50 meters from our school is a cluster of at least 3 5G antennas. Most ceiling lights have also been changed info LED, they give me immidiate headaches. At home I have no wifi, I am now using my cell phone through a cable. The blue light is turned down as much as possible, and I have a protective shield across the screen. I also turn on the flightmode when I have the phone in my hands. I never use it to my ear. A few hours after coming home from work, the health issues weakens. In the beginning, before I turned off the wifi, and while others were living with me in the house (using their own phones), I also had major sleeping disturbances. If I ever take an electric taxi, my joints and muscles start hurting after a few minutes.
