ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I had my smart meter removed. I do not have WiFi in my home. I do not want that direct exposure. I had to buy a new/ used car which has wife in it. I feel physically awful when I drive it. I know that my dogs and I suffer because of the matrix of wireless electricity that encapsulates mankind. My great grand babies are exposed daily at their daycare. It’s heart breaking! Technology is treacherous, seems no turning back!

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I'm sure you've been informed, i hope you're being inundated with information and peer-reviewed reports documenting the significant hazards, to all living beings, of wireless radiation risks. 1. Read the information. 2. Decide to protect US families 3. Bring out the anti-tobacco playback- legislate, regulate, educate Protect our brains and bodies and all life Our bodies are electric. We did not evolve with exposure to 24/7 rapid fire impulses assaulting all our cells. Act Now. Tell the FCC to greatly reduce allowable radiation to distance, to get US in line with accepted international standards.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
As an elder who is severely impacted by ubiquitous non-consensual corporate radiation assault, I call on HHS to protect the environment and public from this microwave radiation harm. Require ethernet wired connections and copper landline availability and maintenance. Two references: The Invisible Rainbow, a History of Electricity and Life by Arthur Firstenberg; and Bees, Birds and Mankind, Destroying Nature by Electrosmog by Warnke (translated from German).

The commenter reports improved sleep after smart-meter removal and similar experiences among friends, des…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am writing to let you know how EMF's, RF Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure have personally impacted me, plus share their impact on several of my friends. I admit that I am addressing them as an entity, as I do not have access to technology that can single out any one risk to life. But I do have access to my own life experience. "Smart" electric meter: Duke Energy installed one on my house without my prior knowledge. Subsequently, I began to experience frequent awakening during the night; the "smart" meter was located at the far end of my home, away from my bedroom. After a convoluted process involving Duke Energy and notarized paperwork from my primary care physician, I was finally able to get it replaced with a manual read meter, resulting in improved sleep. Two friends of mine both experienced major sleep disruption as they live in a condo with "smart" meters just outside their bedrooms. One has now moved out and is experiencing improved energy and health. The other, financially unable to relocate, created his own inside protections to help shield his bedroom; he, too, is experiencing improved health and functioning. Cell towers: the more that go up, the worse I feel. My personal symptoms include awakening suddenly in the middle of the night with a vibrating, quivering, physical sensation in my chest and abdomen of several minutes duration. Please note that three male friends, of varying ages and with whom I compare such experiences, all experienced similar sensations on that same night around that same time. And this has recurred multiple times since. While it does not seem to be related to age or gender, it may have something to do with our more sensitive temperaments (all are empaths, three of us are healers). We've concluded that someone "turned up the juice" at those times. A woman whom I've met told me that she has to sleep in her car on the Blue Ridge Parkway to get a better night's sleep. Cell phones: have you ever witnessed a bright, personable child evolve into a zombi-like young teenager, after she was given a cell phone by her grandparents (against the wishes of her parents)? I have. It's tragic. Just look around. So many people are glued to their devices. Real human interactions are becoming rare. I've been close to being rear-ended while driving and yup, that person was looking at her cell phone. With more and more cell towers being installed, increasing network strength, plus mandatory "smart" meters for water and propane with no opt-outs, neighbors' Ring doorbells, Flock and other surveillance cameras...where do we go to escape for our health and our very lives??? For the sake of all Life and the future of our fragile Earth, I implore you to investigate this and to establish updated, appropriate regulations--not only regarding what these major energetic disruptions are doing to humans, but also to our declining bees and pollinators, birds, various wildlife and soils. Perhaps this is part of the agenda to reduce population; but do you have children and grandchildren and those whom you love? Thank you for your consideration of these matters.

A biomedical researcher requests rigorous studies of EMF mechanisms, exposure measurement and possible fu…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Public Comment — HHS-OASH-2026-0397 I hold a PhD in Biomedical Sciences (Molecular Medicine) from the University of Iowa and a BSc in Biology from Tufts University. My background includes over three years of medical training in an MD/PhD program, biomedical research, and environmental health research development. My current work focuses on real-time indoor fungal monitoring and citizen-science approaches to understanding environmental exposures and health. I have personally experienced significant illness associated with water-damaged, mold-affected indoor environments. I cannot establish that electromagnetic fields (EMFs) contributed to my illness, nor am I reporting confirmed electromagnetic hypersensitivity. My experience has nevertheless reinforced the importance of investigating poorly characterized environmental exposures before preventable harms become widespread. Biological mechanisms: Non-ionizing radiation lacks sufficient photon energy to directly ionize molecules, but that distinction does not establish biological inertness. Human physiology depends on membrane potentials, ion transport, and electrochemical signaling. Under appropriate conditions, external electric and time-varying magnetic fields induce currents and affect excitable tissues, as demonstrated by medical applications such as transcranial magnetic stimulation. These established effects do not prove that everyday wireless exposures cause neurological harm. They do justify evaluating specific frequencies, field strengths, modulation patterns, and durations rather than treating non-ionizing status alone as a safety determination. Environmental interactions: I encourage HHS to examine whether EMFs can influence indoor fungal physiology, including growth, sporulation, allergen production, oxidative-stress responses, or secondary metabolism. This is a hypothesis, not an established explanation for mold-related illness. Evidence that ordinary household wiring, Wi-Fi, or cellular signals increase mold virulence or toxicity is insufficient. Controlled studies should compare realistic exposures with sham conditions and measure fungal outcomes while controlling for moisture, temperature, substrates, and ventilation. Low-frequency electrical fields and radiofrequency wireless exposures should be evaluated separately. Exposure assessment: Better personal and building-level measurements are essential to identifying meaningful exposure-health relationships. I recommend validated, time-resolved monitoring of relevant exposure characteristics, combined with building data, objective health outcomes, and carefully designed longitudinal or citizen-science studies. Studies should address confounding, exposure misclassification, selection bias, privacy, and reproducibility. Clinical research: Individuals reporting symptoms they attribute to EMFs deserve respectful care and rigorous investigation. Blinded provocation studies have generally not established a consistent causal link between everyday RF exposure and reported electromagnetic hypersensitivity symptoms. Future research should investigate symptoms and potential contributing factors without presuming either causation or dismissal, and should consider populations with distinct exposure or health vulnerabilities. I ask HHS to prioritize: (1) independent, reproducible mechanistic studies at environmentally relevant exposure levels; (2) improved electromagnetic dosimetry and longitudinal exposure assessment; (3) exploratory research on EMF interactions with indoor microbiology; (4) interdisciplinary collaboration across neuroscience, biophysics, environmental epidemiology, microbiology, and building science; and (5) accessible, evidence-based public guidance that clearly distinguishes established risks from uncertainty. The absence of conclusive evidence of harm is not proof of safety; equally, plausible mechanisms and reported symptoms are not proof of causation. Preventative public health depends on investigating uncertainty with rigor and transparency, so individuals can understand their environments and make informed decisions.

Raises behavioral and physical concerns about wireless exposure, smart-device surveillance and control, a…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I’d just like to share my thoughts on these topics. 5G/cell towers potentially affect behavior(agitation, irritability, anger, anxiety, headache, sleep, ect.) Majority of average homes are filled with wifi modems and smart devices. Smart devices can be accessed by utility companies, locked, turned off, thermostats adjusted, water usage restricted on washing machines, ect. Potential for devices to be hacked/accessed by others with malicious intent is also a concern. Not to mention the data being collected from the use of these devices. The body seems to find comfort and ease away from devices and their frequencies. Addictive devices such as cellphones affect every day life, relationships, driving habits where people can’t put their phones down, social behaviors, demoralization. Long term cellphone, computer use affecting the blood cells causing clumping restricting oxygen flow, eyes, sleep, ect. Our environment and every aspect of our lives has been invaded by non native EMF’s and RFs. Not just on the human body, but also the life of animals, insects and marine life that share this environment. Strange behaviors are accusing in all of the above. There is a potential for catastrophic, irreversible damage that needs to be investigated.

Reports severe symptoms near a tower with improvement after reducing exposure, animal effects attributed …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hello, my experience w/ EMF ha been a devastating one. A cell tower was put up at a fire station without any notice, and I used to subscribe to the local newspaper, so I should have seen something about it. I had no idea the problem was EMF but after several years of suffering, trying everything to help myself, nothing worked. Long story short: the problem was EMF; the tower directly outside my living room window, with a clear line of sight to our home. I had 15 different health problems (wish I had kept that list), but included heart palpitations (still having this problem), horrible hot flashes, very poor digestion, Reynaud's syndrome, vertigo, always swollen tongue, always feeling zapped/tired, couldn't sleep more than an hour (exhausting) and so on. I was looking to quit my job as I couldn't drive w/ the vertigo. It was bad, turned out life upside down. Once I found out about EMF and practicing "distance and avoid" the symptoms disappeared, some overnight! I also bought a very good quality meter to be sure this was not "in my head"; it wasn't; everytime I'd get near it or overexposed, the symptoms would reappear. My neighbors chickens developed huge ulcers hanging from their necks due to smart meters. The eggs had strange shapes. I've seen first hand "damages" done by these wireless radiation exposure. So, please limit the distance and exposure of EMFs to PEOPLE, espcially residential neighborhoods. It is WRONG to have cell towers near homes, where we should be able to get good slepp to recover and rejuvenate our bodies, our beings. Listen to Environmental Health Trust (EHT) and Childrens Health Defense (CHD) and others like 5G Free California; these people genuinely care and study EMFs; they know what they are talking about. If you need proof, here are a list of some; trust me, EMF problems are real; they cause real health issues and the sad thing is no one is clearly and openly warning people. Thanks to Mr. Kennedy and some others who now are. EHT has been warning us from the start too. * on women's health: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/public-health/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2026.1915745/full * here is one on sleep quality: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/psychiatry/articles/10.3389/fpsyt.2026.1755918/full * how it actually changes our DNA: https://www.emfdata.org/de/studien/detail&id=944 * on testicular health: https://www.emfdata.org/de/studien/detail&id=947 * how it disrupts bats navigation abilities: https://www.emfdata.org/de/studien/detail&id=941 There are many more. It's criminal to put up a cell tower on elementary school grounds or stick laptops on kid's hands to stare at many hours a day. Please take measures to limit wireless tech exposres. I'm not against it; I want CHOICE to use it if I want it. Some want the full exposre, great! They should have it, but it should be a CHOICE to those who don't want it. I live in deep woods, almost off grid, to get away from so much exposure, and it's helped me. I should be able to live in town like others. I've accepted I no long er fly; I no longer to to concerts or any place w/ a lot of people (who all have cell phones). THANK YOU for considering these thoughts. Please help! Please limit exposures and please have it be an option to use wireless. The corded items should be kept as a choice who want it.

Alleges surveillance and motion-sensing equipment cause neurological and bodily effects and pet deaths, d…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
In re: Docket No.: HHS-OASH-2026-0397 Motion/surveillance equipment on an adjacent building by a stairway causes high-pitched ear pressure/noise and internal body heat within ~5 minutes when people walk by. I believe this involves illegal brain scanning or related technology in real time with Facebook, Amazon Fire TV, and X timelines, plus ads and malware we have removed from our devices and network. I believe it harmed my dog. A deer cam installed during the bird flu scare overheated the same day from sunlight. After my dog crossed its path she never walked again and was overheated consistent with energy-weapon complaints. Infrared or other signals appear supercharged by solar energy and, with motion detection, triangulate to harm humans and pets. This has caused severe mental and psychological distress to already challenged conditions for our family and pets. It has also impaired short-term memory for hours after prolonged exposure. We fear it contributed to multiple pet deaths last year through loss of mobility and organ function. I fear links to local crime, war-related intimidation, and political pressure including around voting and speech about Trump or Musk. Lesser similar effects occurred under the prior administration, possibly tied to the pandemic and war. It may relate to Ukraine/Russia; we live in a heavily Democratic, contract-dependent area. I first noticed this in 2015 at a residence I believe was politically targeted (though supposedly protected). The owner led an HHS division with ties to former presidents and State leaders. It repeatedly knocked me down near a window and elsewhere, causing severe disturbances to my mind and mobility for weeks or months, though without the temperature effects seen now. I know it was electronic. My roommates then were Ukrainian and Russian professionals in a university city. It resumed in 2020 and increased with war and pandemic speech interference. I conclude it is likely EMF/RF. Radiation can rise around charging mobile devices; solar light and batteries appear to supercharge signals that crest with motion control. HOA measures cannot override residents’ health and mobility inside their homes. We fear the HOA due to other litigious intimidation. We love our neighbors even when frightened. Federal laws could allow millions quiet remedy without retaliation. Illegal surveillance is one issue; unintentionally directing motion-sensing EMF into triangulated injury is another. Delivery trucks or other tracked equipment could have similar unintended effects. We cannot confront anyone—equipment is installed outside normal repair, and groups have previously used events (including missing dogs and trade vehicles) to access our internet passwords, which is also illegal. The pattern since 2020 involves internet boxes, utility lines, and cables. I have experienced patterned injury; another household member is more severely affected. We lost two pets around the same time; neighbors saw a cluster of animal deaths. It may involve bird flu or pesticides, but also the high-pitched noise so loud we cannot talk until it ends. Emotional effects, fatigue, and temperature disruption follow minutes later. We have spent sleepless nights fearing gang violence. I pray this docket prioritizes protection of human and animal spaces. Reducing such exposures would improve longevity prospects, especially for the vulnerable, and lessen risks of accelerated aging or worsened illness. I will raise this on X. Form submission has failed Captcha verification, possibly due to network issues. Our VPN is frequently overwhelmed and forces server changes; we want Starlink. Abnormal Comcast references appeared on devices recently. In sum, the sun appears to supercharge motion-detecting infrared LED WiFi technologies that triangulate with sensors, mobiles, GPS, 5G, and charging phones, producing laser-like EMF/RF harm in intervals. I believe this most likely killed my dog and cat and at least three other nearby animals. This is an unknown harmful impact from surveillance and hyper-connected EMF/RF. Protections are likely straightforward. I pray for prompt, deliberate action. Government forms repeatedly return errors preventing completion. I fear speech suppression and compromised databases. Moving interactions to America.gov (via Starlink/SpaceX/Dept of War), accessible on X without leaving the platform, would help. God bless you and RFK Jr. I met him and Gingrich years ago while working for a bookseller and helping with signings. Please convey my prayers for them and for this Golden Age. Love, An American Citizen of X cc: DJT, Musk, Rubio, Hegseth, Gingrich, Luckey, former DNI Gabbard, and others.

Describes pre-existing cardiac conditions, later arrhythmia and sensory symptoms attributed to wireless d…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I had to have open heart surgery at 5 years old for heart inflammation which caused a hole in my heart as well as 3 leaking heart valves. I also discovered when I was in my late 30’s that I had elevated prolactin which could keep me from getting pregnant. Also have bad allergies. Those were my pre-existing conditions. In 2019, I went to my cardiologist who said that although I had leaking heart valves, everything was ok, especially since I am able to do hard construction work on a daily basis. I live 1,568 feet from the closest cell tower (see cell tower 3 pic). After 2020, I noticed that my fingertips were burning badly when I was using my Ipad (wifi). Since I used it alot I have a feeling it damaged the nerves in my fingertips or something. After that I had to stop using my Ipad altogether. I now only use a stylus for my non 5G Iphone. What then started happening is that when I toggled the cellular function on and off on my Iphone, I got like a low level shocking feeling which then travelled up and down my body. So now I only use calls over wifi and don't use the cellular function any longer, even when I'm outside of my house. It's terrible for my business because I’m missing lots of calls, but I know these phones are affecting my health badly. After 2020, at least two more cell towers were put up by my house. They are 5,000 feet from my house (see cell tower 2 pic). Besides more antennas being added to the tower that's 1,568 feet and the other two towers, I now have been diagnosed with a heart arrythmia. My hands fall asleep overnight and many times I feel my heart rate is too low. I have to move between sleeping in two different locations in my house because I think the radio waves from home 5G or people's cell phone pass right through my house. I bought an EMF meter but it doesn’t measure the full spectrum of 5G. In addition, so many of my Evergreen trees and my neighbor’s trees have died. You can clearly see parts of trees which have died if you follow a straight path from the cell tower and their electric/gas meters/house. The shrubs in front of my gas/electric meter have died off as well as my beautiful tree branches right in the path. I spoke to an employee of a local business who told me he used to be a cell tower climber/technician. He told me that cell towers kill trees and they know it. One of my customers got so sick after 2020. She almost lost her house. She also had pre-existing conditions (endometriosis) I had worked at her house prior to 2020. There was no cell tower by her house before 2020. After 2020, a cell tower was put up in front of her house only 384 feet away (see cell tower 1 pic). Her son who’s in his 30’s was constantly sick after that cell tower was put up. He uses his phone a lot. After living in the same place for 25 years, it's easy to see what's happening. Radio waves- although useful- are causing a lot of harm. If the public is made aware of things they can do to reduce their EMF exposure- that would benefit the public. Please help!
