Proposed biological mechanisms

Dear Robert F. Kennedy jr, I have been affected by Emfs for many years. It started when I drove my BWM for years every day for many hours. I started to feel strange and finally realized it was from the radiation from the car. Since then I feel pain from computers and telephones - not so much from television. It basically affects my head, my stomach, or lymnphsystem. If a use any train, I can suddenly feel an ache in the bach of my head, turning around, someone is using the phone right behind me. If I sit down and someone's telephone is at midlevel, I feel it in my stomach more. It seems to me that it comes from the immunsystem on my head, making me think that people with compromised immunsystem is affected more. Since I have a sensitive nervous system to start with, it affects me more. If you know about ayuruveda, litterature varns specifically Vata people to stay away from electronics as Vata is more sensitive than pitta and kapha. Vata people often get diseases related to the nervous system. Also, led and lighting tubes are also affecting me. I have a phone and computer but use as little as possible. It is not to be confused with people who are allergic to all electronics. Note that people with electric cars now start to feel nausiated when sitting in their cars. When I was ill, I was so sensitive that I could feel how it seemed like it was coming from the head and went out and into my body, sort of grabbing the stomach. I now assume that all diseases come from the body protecting itself by borrowing what it needs from other parts of the body. If this is constant, you have an autoimmun disease. Believe me, this is true. Very truly yours, Gabriella

L.S., I am an entrepeneur who sells bedding-products and apparel that protect people against the adverse effects of EMF's. These products have a protective component in them which is peat-fiber. See: www.gaiaheartworkz.com. The issues related to EMF exposure fall in the category of DEFCON 1. The point with EMF's is is that they kill Life. We all know of the bag of frozen blood that was put in the microwave and given to the patient who then died. We can handle some EMF's, but from 4G and onwards it starts to result in symptoms of harmful exposure such as feeling “being thrown off your rockers”, feeling disconnected from Life and Life-Forces, of your soul and spirit, from your sense of being part of the spiritual world, from your inspiration, your intuition. It can get you into a state of being locked up in your physicality’s, in your intellect, in depressed thoughts, negative emotions, in fear, in being anti-social, in your instincts. Since EMF’s consist of cold energy they can thus even result in cancer (known to be a cold illness). Since we have electrical currents in our body as well, the EMF's merge with those and subsequently amplify our currents to an unnatural and harmful level. One can feel this amplified exposure e.g. the top of our head, our temple, the middle-front of our forehead and the Atlas-point in the lower back-part of our skull. Our ears get affected by the EMF’s and you can hear it by a continuous buzzing high pitch monotonous ringing crinckling sound. People can experience it as having a hard time falling asleep (wheels keep spinning) and feel like they have a feever, but are not actually sick. The result is that you can't function anymore as a healthy human being. Since there has been no actual thorough research done on these affects, this avalanche of EMF exposure should thus be seriously scaled back.

Dear Department of Health and Human Services: Thank you for listening to the concerns people have about wireless technology. I began suffering from EMR (electromagnetic radiation) Syndrome about 25 years ago. The chronic symptoms I have struggled with over the years include tinnitus, head and facial pain, head fogginess/dizziness, eye and vision problems, nosebleeds. My doctor and I spent years trying to determine the cause of my symptoms. I saw various specialists including an ENT doctor and at least three different neurologists. I had a CT scan and two brain MRIs. I had no success with any of the prescribed treatments, and none of my health care providers could figure out what was going on. Finally, about 10 years ago, I stopped using a cordless phone and took other steps to reduce my RFR (radiofrequency radiation) exposure. In doing so, I experienced a dramatic reduction in my symptoms. The general public needs to be aware that wireless radiation is harmful to human health. I have lost three jobs in the last nine years because my employers refused to provide a safe working environment. In the most recent incident, a WiFi router was located near my desk and I asked for permission to move the router at least 15 feet away. My boss refused to accommodate my request. When I told her that my doctor had advised me not to sit in such close proximity to the router, she terminated my employment. In the United States, we, the public, are not adequately protected by our safety standards. Thousands of peer-reviewed scientific studies, accumulated over decades, report biological effects from exposure to non-thermal, non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation (the kind emitted by cell towers, smart meters, WiFi routers, cell phones, Bluetooth devices, etc.). Our safety regulations do not to consider the bioeffects of wireless radiation at non-thermal levels. Nor do they consider the cumulative effects of long-term exposure over a period of years. The regulations consider only short-term exposure from a single source. They fail to consider exposure from multiple simultaneous sources, such as occurs when you, for example, use a cell phone or tablet near a smart meter in a location covered by multiple WiFi networks. One thing we know about wireless radiation is that, among the many effects seen, a very serious one is the deterioration of the genome (genotoxicity).  Such an effect, if seen in a food item under development or in a potential pharmaceutical drug, would immediately completely ban the product from future marketing and sale. The wireless revolution began more than 25 years ago, and the damage done so far is incalculable. The scientific and medical evidence is clear. Our government agencies need to protect the public from wireless harm, and they need to act now. Please take the time to consider the study conducted by James C. Lin titled “Health and safety practices and policies concerning human exposure to RF/microwave radiation.” https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/public-health/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2025.1619781/full

Sivani Saravanamuttu, M.Phil., Ph.D. Independent Researcher and Author; Founder of Project Plain Talk I submit the following comments on the HHS RFI on Electromagnetic Fields, RF Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. My perspective draws on my peer-reviewed 2013 review (Sivani & Sudarsanam, Biology and Medicine) previously filed as Exhibit 19 in FCC ET Docket 13-84, and my book - The Digital Pied Piper Effect (2018) - which treats RF-EMF health questions as a systems problem involving both biological responses and behavioural patterns that increase cumulative exposure, especially in children. Key points (detailed in the attached PDF): - Exposure and behaviour are entangled; studies should measure both and attempt to separate their effects. - Priority needs include real-use dosimetry, longitudinal cohorts from early life and transparent evidence syntheses. - Individual sensitivity (including EHS/IEI-EMF) requires better methods (e.g., proteomics approaches proposed by Leszczynski) rather than relying solely on self-report or short provocation studies. - EHS recognition and prevalence data are concentrated in high-income countries; comparative data from other regions are lacking. - Coordination across FDA, NIH, CDC and related agencies is needed, with attention to non-thermal mechanisms as hypotheses requiring further testing and to practical exposure-reduction options. The full response, with citations and mapping to specific RFI questions, is attached as a PDF.

Triple board certified physician here including in Brain Injury. It's simple. EMF changes biological signaling in a detrimental way, even at levels FAR below thermal effects. It is no less than a neurotoxin that our government has failed to protect us from. Change that. For one of a thousand studies on this topic, see Int J Radiat Biol. 2026;102(4):421-434. doi: 10.1080/09553002.2026.2617592. Neurotoxic effects of 3.5 GHz GSM-like RF exposure on cultured DRG neurons: a mechanistic insight into oxidative and apoptotic pathways.

Through the 5G network, they know the frequencies that can kil anybody at any time. 5G covers 5 gigahertz but also goes up to 100 gigahertz. Cell towers can give people respiratory problems. 60 gigahertz resonates with the red blood cells in your body. A frequency interferes with your hemoblobin and the oxygen uptake. To the point where you are not able to breathe or get oxygen. They can and do remote execution of living beings for population control through the electromagnetic system of cell towers. plenty of sciencitiv evidence of this capability is available.

I am a Licensed Electrician and perform EMF Mitigation for private residences. I received training through the Building Biology Institute and am in process to be certified through BBI as an Electromagnetic Radiation Specialist. For the past 6 years I have measured and mitigated electromagnetic fields in homes with a primary focus on sleeping areas. My work is guided by the Building Biology Evaluation Guidelines, which are based on the precautionary principle and the goal of creating environments that support long-term health rather than merely avoiding acute thermal injury. I appreciate HHS’s initiative to examine RF/EMF exposures, particularly as they affect children and other vulnerable populations. There exists a large gap between U.S. standards and precautionary guidelines. U.S. and ICNIRP standards are based almost exclusively on heating (thermal) effects. A substantial body of peer-reviewed research documents non-thermal biological effects at levels far below those limits. Mechanisms repeatedly discussed in the literature and observed in practice include activation of voltage-gated calcium channels leading to oxidative stress, disruption of melatonin and circadian rhythms, DNA damage, increased blood-brain barrier permeability, and effects on sperm and reproductive tissue. From my professional experience, the most consistent and rapidly reversible effects are on sleep quality and overnight recovery. Clients frequently report improvements in sleep, energy, headaches, heart palpitations, cognitive clarity, and skin sensations after reduction of nighttime exposures, even when daytime exposures remain largely unchanged. These observations align with the emphasis Building Biology places on sleeping areas. Children are of particular concern. Their thinner skulls, higher tissue conductivity, developing nervous and immune systems, and longer cumulative lifetime exposure increase vulnerability. I regularly encounter elevated RF and AC electric/magnetic fields in children’s bedrooms from Wi-Fi routers, baby monitors, cordless phones, cell phones, tablets, gaming devices, smart meters, and poorly designed electrical wiring. Building Biology Evaluation Guidelines for Sleeping Areas: • Radiofrequency: ideally < 0.1–10 µW/m² • AC magnetic fields: < 0.2–1 mG (20–100 nT) • AC electric fields / body voltage: very low (typically aiming for body voltage < 10–100 mV) These levels are orders of magnitude below current FCC public exposure limits. Several European medical associations (e.g., Austrian Medical Association, EUROPAEM) and the BioInitiative reports have recommended substantially lower precautionary limits than those adopted in the United States. To address the current research gaps, the following areas should be prioritized: • Long-term studies of chronic, low-level, pulsed RF exposures typical of real-world environments (Wi-Fi, 4G/5G, DECT, smart meters) rather than short-term, continuous-wave laboratory exposures. • Effects on sleep architecture, melatonin, and overnight recovery in children and adolescents. • Combined exposures (RF + dirty electricity/microsurge electrical pollution + AC electric and magnetic fields). • Identification of susceptible subgroups (including those with electrohypersensitivity/EMR syndrome) and objective biomarkers. • Prospective studies of mitigation effectiveness in homes and schools. Recommendations: 1. Prioritize sleeping areas — Turn off or place Wi-Fi routers in airplane mode at night; keep cell phones and tablets out of bedrooms or in airplane mode; prefer hardwired Ethernet connections. 2. Reduce close-range device use — Encourage speakerphone, wired headsets, or airplane mode for children; avoid carrying phones against the body. 3. Address electrical environment — Identify and correct wiring errors that elevate magnetic fields; consider demand switches or circuit control for bedrooms to reduce AC electric fields during sleep; minimize dirty electricity from dimmers, inverters, and certain electronics. 4. School and institutional settings — Prefer hardwired networks where feasible; locate wireless access points away from classrooms and offices; provide low-EMF options for sensitive students. 5. Siting of infrastructure — Avoid placing cell antennas, small cells, and smart meters in close proximity to homes, schools, and daycare facilities. 6. Education — Provide clear, accessible information so parents, teachers, and clinicians can make informed choices while research continues. I urge HHS to incorporate precautionary considerations for non-thermal effects into its evaluation, especially for children, and to support independent research that examines real-world exposure patterns and mitigation outcomes. Practitioner observations and the existing body of non-thermal research should be weighed alongside the thermal-only framework that currently underpins U.S. standards. Respectfully, William Pursino

Here is what I know: if you take even minimal steps to reduce wi-if in the school, kids will be calmer and healthier. If health risks that doctors/scientists and thousands of studies do indeed exist, then we owe it to our children. We are bioelectrical beings, and wi-fi and cellular signals interfere with our cell-to-cell communication. Studies show wi-fi causes the cell membrane to leak, which produces a very destructive free radical and can contribute to cancer. Wi-Fi also has been shown to interfere with melatonin's ability to clean up free radicals. Other damages shown in the 1000s of studies performed: compromising the blood-brain-barrier (which keeps toxins out of the brain); cellular communication interference; damage to cell metabolism; single-and double-strand DNA damage; loss of DNA repair capacity in human stem cells; reduction in free-radical scavengers (particularly melatonin); abnormal gene transcription; neurotoxicity; carcinogenicity; damage to sperm morphology and function; and effects on behavior. This causes real damage to accumulate, especially in the small bodies of children. U.S. wireless radiation standards (set 20 years ago) based on a 6-foot, 200 pound healthy male? Why have no field studies been performed on children - and the child brain overall absorbs twice as much radiation as that of an adult, and their bone marrow absorbs 10x that of an adult. The following experts have said: • Dr. David Carpenter, M.D., public health physician educated at Harvard Medical School: "RF penetration is greater relative to head size in children, and they have a greater absorption of RF energy in the tissues of the head at WI-FI frequencies because their skulls area thinner, their brains are smaller, and their brain tissue is more conductive than that of adults since it has a higher water content and ion concentrations….Thus it is important that all of us, and especially children, restrict our use of cell phones, and limit exposure to background levels of WI-FI.” • Dr. Keith Black, Neurosurgeon, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center: “In children, the microwave radiation can penetrate deeper into the brain, and their cells are dividing at a much faster rate so the impact can be much larger.” As a side note, WiFi systems in school districts are usually much higher in strength than home systems because they are designed to operate hundreds of computers simultaneously and can be up to three times more powerful than a phone mast outside a school. This will be the first generation ever to spend 6-8 hours each day for years in industrial strength WiFi environment. Dr. George Carlo, who was the cell phone industry's Director of Research and was hired to run their $28 million dollar, 7 year research program to find out if cell phones were dangerous, is now an outspoken advocate of informing the public and calling for more research. We all love wireless. It has connected us, made life so much easier, and has brought information to our fingertips. I know the ease of cell phones, and the money behind cell phone companies is a powerful entity to fight, but if Dr. Carlo did the right things, so can we. Please I beg of you: we need strong leaders who care about the health of our children to step forward and protect them. Thank you for your time.

I read a case that I also sent as an earlier comment about someone mildening their EMF sensitivity through usage of Reishi mushrooms. I believe EMF sensitivity has to do with a mixture of the microbiome, mineral composition in the body, body pathways for transfer of various molecules and possibly as Gerald Pollack has mentioned Wifi might influence on EZ water (upcoming term in biology). This could be some of why people react differently at different times and to different frequencies and environmental exposure. Because they have different body states, at the smaller levels and compositions. There are also EMF fron different sources. Smart meters, power lines, routers, phones, "dirty electricity" as some call it from house wires, phone towers, power stations. People could react different to them at times. Sometimes the EMF can bounce around inside houses and electronics too and target in other ways. About EMF and mold. Mold grows or is inhibited by different frequencies. It is likely similar with other life forms and parts of life forms. Just like we can receive sunlight and it has influence on our blood sugar, nitric oxide, vitamin D levels, brain neurons and more. This means it is likely EMF can influence some "channels" in some people. Or that "frequency resistance" varies from person to person or by health state. Here are some suggestions that might help lower the EMF rates in society. - Better software can improve the call and data transmission without increasing EMF. Through using compressed data, codecs, agreements on "this data id equals that data", like putting together pre-made factory parts saves time and can be done from an instruction manual, some of this is already done but we might optimize and do it further across software. - Data that isnt in a rush to be sent, can be sent via wire when possible. - Cables can be shielded better. - We might be able to use radio frequencies that cause less issues in life forms, for example like how background radiation from space doesnt cause as much interaction seemingly. Here are some suggestions that might look into why some people are more sensitive than others and what can be done about it. - Comprehensive microbiome and mineral tests. I suggest to consult with specialized labs and maybe naturopaths too. As people reach out to them at times when the allopathic system doesnt help. It is possible that EMF is worse in people who have digestive issues, too many or too little of certain minerals. - Tests with mushroom exposure, to see if certain species helps people with EMF sensitivity feel worse or better. There might be help to find in anecdotes already shared online such as the one with Reishi mushrooms. LLMs could help search for it. And TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) and Ayurveda (holistic Indian medicine) might have ideas for it. Also ancient European and Middle Eastern medicine might have ideas for it. - There is likely an overlap between the EMF and mold health issues since EMF influences mold growth.

The 5G fiber optic and large amounts of WiFi in apartment complexes has made it impossible for me to live inside the city. I still work in Nashville TN but I cannot sleep there’s I have to sleep in my car and drive out 35 minutes out of town every night in order to actually get somewhat productive sleep. My story is in this YouTube video. I have gone through enormous troubles with this. Suffice it to say it must be severely difficult, and I must have tried everything else I could think of before sleeping in my car full time year round. Without any HVAC during the nights. Even when I could technically fall asleep inside the city, my mental and cognitive health was so unbearably bad that I could not function or feel stable at all while I was trying to make it work sleeping in the city. nnEMF drastically inhibits the body’s ability to produce neurotransmitters, so when I am feeling irrationally angry, depressed, completely unable to focus or think clearly, and it those problems vanish when I actually start sleeping well by sleeping outside of the 5G range, it is obvious that I was feeling so completely unstable as I was because the 5G was making it impossible for my brain to produce neurotransmitters (dopamine, serotonin,etc) correctly. I have never done cocaine, but from what I have heard, the crash afterwards is absolutely horrendous, because cocaine artificially releases all of the dopamine in your body (or way way more than normal). So the next day, your dopamine tank is way way emptier than it would ever be otherwise. I have never done cocaine, but I still felt the same crash, because 5G kept my brain from being able to make dopamine. Check out David Herrera “Solar Athlete.” His breakdown of this science has really helped me as well as his protocols for getting healthier. But make no mistake, those protocols aren’t going to make it possible to just tough it out. You still have to get out of the 5G coverage. One more thing. I really truly see that if we continue on this path, severe mental health problems are going to skyrocket. Schizophrenia, borderline, suicidal ideation, severe depression and anxiety, (the actually scary kind) where you really don’t feel in control. All of these disorders are downstream effects of the body not being able to properly produce or balance neurotransmitters and hormones. And because 5G seems so nebulous (many people don’t feel it or notice that they feel it) , also because mental health problems seem so nebulous, I fear that these problems will skyrocket as a direct effect of 5 and 6 G severely oppressing our physiology BUT NO ONE WILL REALIZE THAT 5G IS THE MAIN CAUSE , so they will send all of these otherwise normal people to institutions or write them off as crazy and leave them to the streets.
