Proposed biological mechanisms

We the people do not consent to being experimented on! This radiation is causing cancer and DNA damage!!

I want to know why they massively increased these towers during covid lockdown. I have yet to see one physically being installed in our area, they seemed to have just appeared. I want to know why they put a smart meter on my house without our permission, they just changed it out. Certainly not enough communication between the companies that do this crap and the people that live here. I think they should have had hard core data and a discussion with the cities and townships before they installed all of these towers (eyesores) around the neighborhoods. Our bodies are full of electrical currents that generate naturally, our brains and hearts and I can't help but think that EMFs, Radiofrequency and Wireless Radiation are an overload to our bodies and wellbeing. You definitely need to have studies done on it's effects. Listen to both sides of the spectrum and the possible concerns from everyday people. We all saw what happened during covid are we going to let this turn out to be another mistake, people have legitimate concerns not only for themselves, but their children. Let's find some common ground and work towards a solution. We have already been bombarded with enough metals, plastics and poisons in our foods and water and this is just adding fuel to the fire. Please take this seriously!

This comment synthesizes peer-reviewed evidence detailing the biological effects of non-ionizing radiofrequency (RF) and extremely low-frequency (ELF) EMFs on living tissues. Relying exclusively on thermal paradigms to assess exposure risks leaves critical gaps in public health frameworks. Existing Evidence: Cellular, Biochemical, and Neurological Mechanisms(Qs 12 & 18) Scientific literature demonstrates that EMFs interact with biological systems through non-thermal mechanisms: Neurological and Brain Function Impacts: EMF exposure alters brain electrical activity and neuron behavior. External magnetic fields can change brain EEG (Bell et al., 1992) and disrupt hippocampal rhythms critical for memory (Bawin et al., 1996). Weak fields also directly interfere with nerve growth factor-induced neurite outgrowth (Blackman et al., 1995). Voltage-Gated Ion Channels and Oxidative Stress: Man-made EMFs can cause forced oscillation of mobile ions, leading to voltage-gated ion channel dysfunction. This mechanism is linked to the induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress, which are primary pathways for adverse cellular impacts. Protein Synthesis and Cell Differentiation: EMFs demonstrably influence gene expression. Low-frequency fields alter polypeptide and fibroblast protein synthesis (Goodman & Henderson, 1988; McLeod et al., 1987), while power frequency fields promote cell differentiation and transforming growth factor-beta 1 expression (Aaron et al., 1999). DNA Synthesis and Ionic Currents: Time-varying magnetic fields directly affect DNA synthesis (Liboff et al., 1984). Endogenous ionic currents and DC electric fields are also highly responsive to external fields, playing a crucial role in multicellular tissue development (Nuccitelli, 1992). Environmental and Wildlife Impacts (Question 14) The deployment of wireless communication technologies has a documented ecological footprint: Flora and Fauna Sensitivity: Ambient levels of non-ionizing EMFs represent a continuous, biologically active environmental factor. Certain species exhibit high sensitivity to exogenous EMFs due to unique physiological traits, triggering complex endogenous reactions. Impact on Insects: Systematic reviews underscore the biological effects of EMFs on insects. The cumulative impact of multiple low-dose environmental toxins and EMFs on organism behavior suggests these exposures must be weighed heavily in ecotoxicology frameworks. Exposure Standards and Risk Assessment (Question 5) Current guidelines (e.g., ICNIRP) rely almost exclusively on thermal thresholds (tissue heating). Because modulated EMFs cause distinct non-thermal biological effects, acute continuous-wave limits are inadequate for long-term health protection. HHS must re-evaluate limits by integrating non-thermal biological data. Federal Research Priorities (Questions 16 & 17) Federal health agencies should prioritize longitudinal studies examining the long-term, cumulative effects of low-dose, non-thermal EMF exposures on cellular mechanisms, neurology, and environmental health. Establishing exposure standards that comprehensively account for pulse characteristics, duty cycles, and modulation is critical for science-informed public health decision-making.

My name is Joel Wright. I am in my 20s and am a U.S. citizen. At 18, I began suffering extreme health complications which I believe are directly caused by exposure to modern telecommunications equipment. I ask HHS to research the biology of my condition and set conservative emissions standards to protect future generations and allow people like me to rejoin society. I offer my testimony for any official proceedings. My hypothesis is simple: current ambient levels of non-ionizing radiation are unsafe. The environmental levels of ten years ago were high enough to collapse my health, and they have only intensified in the years since. The collapse was sudden and violent. I started college and a small business at 14; at 16 I earned Eagle Scout; at 18 I had a top ACT score. Yet, within months of graduating high school in 2017, that life ended. Bedridden, I suffered from agonizing neurological pain, memory loss, chronic fatigue, and extreme muscle spasms, among other symptoms. At times, I lost the ability to speak and walk. I was forced to abandon a full ride scholarship. We discovered in 2020 that the world’s most powerful technology was destroying my young body. There was no escape; the dangerous radiation emanates from homes, vehicles and every person’s purse or pants pocket. When the COVID lockdowns began and people fled an invisible virus, I fled invisible radiation, isolating from society in search of respite. The world adapted and reopened, but I persist in my lockdown. My current health comes at enormous cost. Until six months ago, this meant near-total isolation. I left home perhaps twice a year. I could not even attend church. The life my peers never consider, walking into a store, sitting in a crowd, carrying a phone, is for me a series of calculated risks. I follow strict regimens of diet and medication, controlling for stressors down to caffeine and sugar. Even now, visitors must leave their phones at the door, a request which I know sounds unreasonable, costing me standing each time I ask. Maintaining my dignity spends that same dignity in the eyes of others; to be young without a phone is unthinkable. It has cost me opportunities, friendships, dating, and my youth, all spent trying to heal. My condition is doubted not because of contradictory evidence, but because for decades agencies like the HHS and FCC declined to study whether this exposure is safe. RF exposure is nearly inescapable. I can leave a building, but I cannot control what passes through its walls into my body. Radio frequencies are integrated into everything, leaving no room for choice. Whatever the truth, this exposure has been imposed for decades - untested, unquestioned and ubiquitous. That is what I am asking HHS to change. The scientific case is stronger than ever. For decades, inaction rested on one claim: fields too weak to heat tissue could not affect us. That no longer holds. In 2026, a CRISPR screen identified a protein, Cyb5b, that transduces electromagnetic fields into cellular calcium oscillations through a voltage-gated calcium channel (Hwang 2026), confirming a mechanism proposed years earlier (Pall 2013). These fields act on cells without heating them, and calcium signaling governs DNA repair, oxidative balance, and cell death. A field that reliably disturbs it is biologically active, with a threshold where its effect becomes harm. This harm does not require extreme exposure. At the low environmental levels of everyday life, below federal limits, RF induces oxidative stress - a driver of inflammation and cellular damage - and disrupts a vertebrate nervous system (Yakymenko 2016; Engels 2014; ICBE-EMF 2022). Yet FCC limits still assume only heating can harm, a premise a federal court found inadequately justified (EHT v. FCC 2021). The gap is widest for developing bodies. In-utero exposure altered neurodevelopment in animals, dose-dependently (Aldad 2012); birth cohorts link prenatal exposure to childhood behavioral problems (Divan 2008); and in nearly 700 adolescents, cumulative RF brain dose tracked reduced memory development (Foerster 2018)-consistent with children absorbing more RF, more deeply, than adults (Gandhi 2012). Limits built on brief adult-animal tests cannot be assumed to protect a brain developing from birth. These conditions-below the limits, over a lifetime, from childhood-remain unstudied. I ask HHS to fund the mechanistic and long-latency research they demand, before exposure grows. I can comment only because I recovered, a rare gift. The comments HHS receives come from those well enough to find and respond to this request. Those still bedridden and impaired, as I was, cannot respond. I’ve included health journals from before I suspected RF, untainted by expectation, to show the truth. I survived as much by luck as by effort. I am asking HHS to act so that survival is not left to chance, to act so people like me and those still trapped, unable to speak, may live once more.

As a Doctor who has been injured from radiofrequency radiation, I have a sincere interest in new, updated regulations of HHS and the FCC to protect all living things from the known biological harm of RFR. Since 2018, living near a cell tower, sleeping close to a smart meter and having a wifi router from a neighbor within 10 feet of my sleeping space, I have had neurological harm. Since then, when I'm near a wifi router or another person's phone or smart watch, I get burning pain on my skin in the area closest to the pulse-modulated RF radiation. I also get severe fatigue, brain fog, a pressure headache, and the next days to weeks I feel "hungover" from the exposure. It makes normal functioning very difficult. When I sleep next to someone with a smart watch on or sleep in a house/hotel with wifi on, my sleep is very poor- I wake up many times and have trouble falling asleep. When I sleep at home with our wifi router turned off and phones off, I wake up much more rested and do not wake up in the middle of the night. I fear for my young daughter and unborn baby, since research shows their brains absorb much more radiofrequency radiation, and it is pervasive in classrooms, places of worship, as well as playgrounds. I am calling for more research on the biological harms from radiofrequency radiation, particularly pulse-modulated RF radiation. As more cell towers proliferate and new bands of frequency are being used, there needs to be a halt to all new infrastructure until solid research has been done to investigate the impacts on living beings- humans, flora and fauna. The current FCC guideline is based on an antiquated study from 30 years ago. Telecommunications have changed drastically over that time period, so that is now irrelevant. What studies have the FCC or HHS done to evaluate the RFR's effects on cellular health and oxidative stress, which manifest into countless disease states? What about neurobehavioral outcomes, like children learning in school near a wifi router, or productivity and concentration in the workplace? How are migrating animals and insects affected by the never-ending bombardment of frequencies running through their bodies? How does that impact ecosystems and ultimately human health? Europe has more stringent standards on pulse-modulated RF radiation to protect the health of its citizens and wildlife- why don't we mirror their regulations as a starting point and add on as more research has accumulated? The cost of inaction is far too high- if HHS fails to produce relevant research to protect the health of all living beings, what is the cost to all of humanity? The cost of healthcare is already astronomical in the US. Could limiting the number of towers, satellites, smart devices, band frequencies and the power produced by these structures decrease the amount of human suffering and cost of "mystery" chronic disease states? Before any new technology is developed, I urge HHS to study chronic radiofrequency radiation exposure at ambient levels in a cohort study as well as RCT studies to assess the cellular and physiological changes with acute exposure to pulse-modulated RF radiation. Please see the references attached as evidence to support my claims. The inaction of federal health agencies, including the HHS, in studying the biological and environmental effects of RFR and pulse-modulated RF radiation is extremely disappointing. As a Doctor and one who has been injured by RFR, I see the damage this has on my patients as well. I did not consent, nor do I consent today, to the continuous, involuntary exposure to biologically active RF radiation. Please allocate necessary funding to study RF radiation's effects on living beings. It is the ethical, responsible and humanitarian action to do that.

Docket ID: HHS-OASH-2026-0397 Regarding: Request for Information (RFI) on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure As a seasoned Care Manager & Multispecialty Office manager as well n individual caregiver with over ten years of lived environmental illness experience, alongside my husband a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, I am submitting my formal testimony to Docket HHS-OASH-2026-0397. Because our response contains comprehensive historical tracking data, detailed case overviews, and active scientific hyperlinks that exceed the character limitations of this text field, we have attached our complete, unedited narrative and scientific review as a PDF titled: Attachment1_Master_Packet_Docket_HHS_OASH_2026_0397.pdf. Our submission provides specific, evidence-backed justifications addressing several core tracks of this RFI: 1. Public Experiences (Questions 2 & 3): We provide a complete longitudinal case history documenting how a high-density neighborhood 5G rollout and household wireless exposure directly aligned with an acute pediatric neuropsychiatric break, profound dissociation, encephalopathy, and severe autonomic degradation in our children. It outlines our eventual health stabilization achieved only by removing all wireless vectors and establishing an analog, hardwired sanctuary. Both impacted children have since grown into adulthood, providing the agency with a rare multi-year perspective on long-term environmental tracking. 2. Clinical Observations & Evidence Below Limits (Questions 4, 5, & 12): We present peer-reviewed biomedical evidence proving sub-thermal biological damage vastly below current federal thermal baselines. This includes Dr. Martin Pall’s research on Voltage-Gated Calcium Channel (VGCC) activation leading to blood-brain barrier permeability, which allows circulating mycotoxins and vector-borne neurotoxins (Lyme/Mold) to cross into the central nervous system. We also cite data demonstrating that ambient wireless radiation accelerates fungal pathogen defenses, directly increasing indoor mycotoxin production up to threefold. 3. Vulnerable Populations & K-12 Infrastructure Policy (Question 11): We formally demand federal recognition of biotoxin-sensitized and genetically vulnerable populations as a protected class. Furthermore, we call for an absolute mandate replacing wireless router networks with safe, hardwired fiber-optic infrastructure in K-12 school systems. Analysis of Policy Trade-offs: We acknowledge that a hardwired transition requires school districts to absorb upfront infrastructure retrofitting costs and adapt device-dependent lesson plans. However, these immediate costs are heavily outweighed by the massive, long-term public health savings, reduced student absenteeism, minimized chronic healthcare utilization, and superior local cybersecurity. This matches robust international precautionary health precedents already established in countries like France, Israel, and Cyprus. We urge the Department of Health and Human Services to evaluate this cumulative environmental synergy, move past outdated thermal metrics, and call an emergency congressional and medical panel hearing to rebuild national safety parameters from scratch. Please see our attached PDF for our full, unedited narrative testimony and primary peer-reviewed journal citations. Respectfully Submitted, Elizabeth Wright

Our neighborhood has been denied Due Process in a cell tower Application at Artist Falls Road in North Conway NH. It is a political decision that ignores safety of the residents. The neighborhood is less than 300 meters from this 160 ft Tower that starts at an elevation 20( twenty ) ft higher than the neighborhood. So a difference of 180 ft altogether. We will be effected severely according to Science.Our DNA is a fractal antenna and according to the Inverse square law ; we are in the area of greatest intensity in the electromagnetic fields.

We don’t know for sure the long term effect of RF and EMF in human’s brain activity; DNA delicate balance; nervous system equilibrium; vital organs electro activity field e.g. heart; Immune System sensitivity to Towers Radiation, and all other things we don’t know. Also, some rare form of Cancer, Tumors, and Homeostatic Abnormalities related to high exposure to RF and EMF emitted to 5.G Towers.
