The commenter identifies as EMF-sensitive, reports insomnia after router and airport exposure and dizzine…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am extremely sensitive to EMF. My WiFi router is in my closet and I cannot sleep at night if I enter my closet for even 20 seconds 5 hours before bed. When I am in an airport I cannot sleep that night as I have been around so much EMF in the airport/plane. I looked at purchasing a home that had a 5G tower a block away, however when I walked around the neighborhood my husband and I were extremely dizzy after 20 minutes because of the 5G tower. Please do not place 5G towers or any cell tower in or near neighborhoods or schools. Thank you, Emily

The commenter describes effects among family members and customers, questions growing tower exposure and …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am an individual, a family care provider, and a small business owner. I have witnessed numerous side effects pertaining to EMF exposure in myself and my family members, as well as customers who have patronized my business. The EMF exposure has grown exponentially over the last 30 years. Our bodies can only take so much before they begin showing signs. The USA has not done enough to keep up with the standards or the limits of exposure. Other first world countries have surpassed us with their updated thresholds for EMF. We have clearly reached a point where there is just too much exposure. Headaches, nausea, dizziness, and neurological issues are all reported due to the giant microwave we are all forced to live in. Why are we putting up more and more towers? Why are we lowering the panels to be closer to the humans and animals? Why is there a lack of transparency? There have been documented cases where "experts" have said there is tech within these panels that they are not at liberty to discuss. Why is that? Not like the 5G service is any better; in fact, many would say our services have dropped off with these newer technologies. Makes you wonder what's really going on... You all have a tremendous amount of work to do on this. Especially, in regards to improving the trust level with your citizens.

A construction professional reports personal and family headaches, sleep and digestive changes associated…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I have worked in the construction industry for almost my entire 30 plus year career. Ever since becoming a Dad I have taken a natural interest in the impact of the environment on our health. In the last 5 years I have studied the impact of all forms of EMF (electric fields, magnetic fields, RF and wireless, indoor lighting, and Dirty Electricity) on our health. It is critical that we take a precautionary approach now with all forms of EMF and that we pay attention to the independent science and studies that we already have available that were not biased by industry. We also should support more independent studies. Please begin educating the public about the concerns. Also, my wife and I have experienced symptoms when in close proximity to wireless, cell phones, and electrical fields. These fields have impacted our nervous system, trigger headaches, impact our sleep, and there have been times when it seems they disrupted our digestion. I have purchased professional grade meters and I recently completed studies and certification with the Building Biology Institute. This has enabled me to measure the fields in our typical home, community, work, and while traveling and we have been able to correlate the higher fields to negative symptoms. I have also observed negative changes in behavior of people I live and work with when they are exposed to these fields. Thank you for taking the important step to receive comments and take steps to help mankind be healthier physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Let's look to nature as our guide as to what is healthy.

The commenter reports tinnitus at home near numerous apartment Wi-Fi routers that disappears after leavin…

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 and possible victim. Living in an apartment complex, I am exposed to as many as 20 known EMF sources, coming from nearby wirless routers.The result is constant tinnitus whenever located at home; the Tinntus goes away as soon as I leave the premises. HHS should take 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 decades of painful electrical sensations, palpitations, and tinnitus and relates …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Ever since i was a teenager I was receiving these sharp painful "zaps" to primarily my L side chest (w/ heart palpatation) This led to a chronic painful condition. This was never diagnosed-wasn't until Havana Syndrome and discussions on DEW's -Direct Energy Weapons. This is now over 40 years of thise painful condition. I have written many politition and the Havana Syndrom taskforce. Also have many books on the Havana Synd. Targeted Ind- ividual program. It's still not officially "Diagnosed" When I saw the White House BioEthics committee in 2011 & 12 Civilians complaining about the same symptoms as I Had. (Even after seeing the White House videos on Bioethics of Civilians admitted going thru the same symptoms as the u.s. diplomats with Havana Syndrome. ( Those videos were made a few years before Havana Symptoms in Havana Cuba even happened-those people were calling themselves Targeted Individuals, people who believe they were/are being experimented on with new techno;ogy (very much like MK-Ultra had before) to Now brain chip technology.Before it was on the news I have written a few times the OHRP-office of Human Reseach Protection. wanting to talk about those electric "zaps" tinnitis (ringing in ears). I have prayed hoped that this-and to help us victims of elecromagnetic radiations/shielding copper mesh, tin foil etc. hopeful for a cure. President Clinton apologized for this intentional radiation in 1995 (even children-oatmeal radiation) In me for 40 yrs is a subcutaneous (just under skin) foreign feeling numbness (painful) blocks emotional feeling, with broken capilaries on the outide half circle of it. Much like the Cuban diplomats, this AHI (Havana Syndromr) technology whether strips their emotional sense of self and depletes yr motivation because a subcutaneous electric biosensor (?) seems to block the normal emotions used or daily motivation- These identical concerns were also voiced in the White House 2011 &12 BioEthics. I went to a Havana Syndrome Rally in Portland, Oregon and all the follow up News reports-I'm glad to finally have answers and also the Patents to the technology. Thank you for looking into Wireless Radiation and the dangers of experimentation on the Brain and Body. I know I had no Idea of what caused any of this, I went to pain specialists in Salem. I never heard of Dew's. I finaly, after 4 visits was told I was part of a Federal program, so they couldn't do anything (and another said the same 5 months later.-couldn't do much it was a federal program ) This was after 30 years that the Havana Syndrome rally, books on experimented "target- ed Individuals (patents to technology) All I know is I was never asked, or informed, I know I never want to be part of any research project, or a "scape-goat' for emerging technologies or nano technology. Again, no Brain mapping, mind reading, I don't want anyone-anyone to use anything OR make copies of anything mine to use now or in the future, no companies, governments, or militaries- I certainly do not want anypart of me or copies of me to be a slave to any one or any ones technology. I don't want remote monitoring, Brain or nervous system manipulation of any kind- that definitely includes A.I-no artificial inteligence to be used on or in me or copies of me. (Im sorry to even have to write all this- but knowing from what I go through and our governments history of experimentation-Oatmeal radiation MK- Ultra etc. I feel I have to be direct and so NO in every way). Again HHS Thank you for RFK Jr and team for asking what we go through. we want this radiation technology to stop- Sincerely me Allen

1. & 2. I am responding as: 3a. Type of wireless or RF/EMF sources involved (e.g., mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters…)All wireless devices, especially Wi-Fi 3b. Nature, duration, frequency, and approximate timing (e.g., years):over 15 years 3c. Adverse health effect(s) experienced:Tinnitus, headaches, chronic fatigue, and occasional dizziness. 3d. Time from first exposure to first appearance of adverse health effects; and did a change in exposure coincide with the onset of adverse effects:Symptoms manifest almost immediately. The duration of these health effects has been increasing with time - it can take as long as 24 hours for them to fade away after exposure. 3e. Was medical evaluation or treatment sought? (Optionally:) Was there a diagnosis?I was officially diagnosed EMF-sensitive about 5 years ago by Pr. Dominique Belpomme in Paris. 3f. Were steps taken to reduce or eliminate exposure, and were there subsequent changes in the effects?I have scheduled mercury-fillings removal shortly. Various dietary supplements have become part of my daily routine. Some seem to improve my condition a bit. However, it really seems the only cure is to STAY AWAY FROM ALL WIRELESS DEVICES, in other words to stay at home. 3g. Any supporting documentation? This includes Scientific Reports, exposure measurements, or other relevant information:When I was first diagnosed, my histamine level appeared to be especially high. Additional Details you would like to share about your experiences of adverse health effects you believe to be associated with exposure to wireless radiation or EMF's:Concentration problems definitely seem to be another adverse health effect. This is something I do not normally suffer from - I am a pretty focused person. B1a. Sources you experience as causing you Adverse Effects:Mobile phones, connected watches and car keys, chordless landline phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters... B1b. Sources you can sense, but don't seem to harm you: B1c. Sources you can use without sensing or being harmed:Working on a wired computer. B1d. Sources that seem to provide benefit (i.e., electrotherapy):Nature B2a. Health conditions you think may contribute to your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless:Ongoing stress. B2b. Health conditions you don't necessarily associate with your sensitivity to EMFs including wireless, but might be relevant:I wonder if being under Androcur medication for almost 10 years when I was young could have contributed to my EMF-sensitivity. B3. For each subquestion please list up to 5 drugs or therapies or home remedies (if any) B3a. That you recommend, as they helped you tolerate or recover from EMF exposure:Taking glutathion and ginkgo on a daily basis. Blackcurrant in gemmotherapy, although not all year round.

A health consultant reports increasing sensitivity, headaches, tinnitus, cardiac symptoms, and emergency …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Thank you for this opportunity to share how horrendous this technology has been for my well-being and health – and everyone else I have talked to that suffer from this. (I am a health consultant) Gradually over the years, and ESPECIALLY after the lockdowns in 2020, I have become more and more sensitive to this unrelenting energy coming through our bodies. Specifics: Tinnitus, constant headaches, CONSTANTLY feeling shaky and as though I am plugged into an electric socket – unless I go out and ground in Nature, and then I can feel a little relief; heart palpitations, heart pain, exhaustion. Having spent several decades in office type environments or running my own business with the required computers, printers, cell phones etc., I need to now limit my time to only one hour here and there, so it makes it extremely difficult running a business. Proven specifics: 1) I had to spend 5 days down in Virginia Beach at a conference end of May 2026 and felt very frazzled most of the time down there. Four days after my return, I ended up in ER with my blood pressure being around 210/115, with heart pain and palpitations, when I had never ever had any heart issues and all prior tests had shown I had a strong heart. The same thing repeated itself a week later, by waking up in the middle of the night 2:30am, with more intense symptoms requiring a rescue squad trip to the ER again. For the past 6 years, every time I drive to Virginia Beach for business reason, the intensity of all the 5G towers and surveillance cameras on every lamp post, etc., has given me chest pains, palpitations and feeling very fragile. 2) We have a lovely sunny porch look-out onto a park. The RF (measured with a TriField meter) used to be around 00019 -.014 mW/m2 outside, and now around that amount inside our home - .014 - .018 (this being BEHIND the metal mesh screens). But now outside on the porch – as they installed a 5G tower visible at a high level across the park about a mile away – the level fluctuates between 7.8 – 11.5 mW/m2 so now makes it totally impossible to sit outside on the porch ever without feeling zapped. I could give many other examples, but these two stand out. The ONLY way I can now survive this onslaught in general life - whilst still experiencing the symptoms above all the time - is to have a SafeSleeve rf PROTECTION cover around my iPhone, an Aires pendant around my neck, several other products that have cost too much money to try out, and now trying RF material inlays in clothing. This is not a way to live, and not everyone can escape to the woods to survive or purchase these products. I TRULY APPRECIATE WHATEVER YOU CAN DO TO CONSIDERABLY REDUCE THE CURRENT FREQUENCY LEVELS, AND DEFINITELY NOT INCREASE TO 6G - IT IS NOT NECESSARY. Thank you sincerely.

The commenter attributes daily cardiovascular, respiratory, and cognitive distress to a faulty utility ca…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
HHS RFI Response: Public Experiences and Reported Potential Adverse Health Effects (Question 3) Respondent Perspective: Individual Consumer and Affected Patient. Response to Question 3: a. Type(s) of Wireless Technology / RF/EMF Source Involved: The source was a malfunctioning utility-grade infrastructure component, specifically a defective Radio Frequency (RF) Capacitor controller within a localized power distribution capacitor bank operated by regional provider DTE Energy. b. Nature, Duration, Frequency, and Approximate Timing of Exposure: The exposure occurred daily like clockwork, initiating with an intense, localized peak surge at approximately 7:00 AM every morning. This daily cyclic exposure persisted for over a consecutive month, beginning shortly prior to October 18, 2024, and continuing until temporary structural decommissioning on November 23, 2024. When the seasonal daylight-saving time change occurred, the environmental behavior shifted in a manner that was helpful to show the same shift with the mG timeline and plotting. This shift provided critical diagnostic evidence that allowed the utility company to definitively isolate the source. c. Potential Adverse Health Effects Experienced: Upon the immediate onset of the daily utility cycle, I experienced severe physical distress consisting of acute, localized cardiovascular pressure, respiratory inhibition (“feeling of lung implosion”), near-syncope (extreme dizziness and blacking out), and a severe, temporary loss of cognitive function consistent with cerebral oxygen deprivation. d. Onset and Coincidence of Symptoms Relative to Exposure: The physiological symptoms perfectly mirrored environmental readings. Independent monitoring using calibrated equipment verified that acute cardiovascular and respiratory distress coincided exactly with real-time milligauss (mG) spikes in the local magnetic flux density. e. Medical Evaluation and Treatment Sought: Due to the immediate, life-threatening severity of the daily cardiac and respiratory insults, immediate evacuation from the localized zone was required to avoid total syncopal episodes. Because full physiological recovery occurred only upon leaving the exposure in the home, medical intervention focused heavily on environmental avoidance and oxygen usage for cerebral hypoxia recovery. f. Mitigation Steps Taken and Subsequent Changes in Health Effects: Total geographic avoidance was mandatory. I was displaced from my home for over a month, forced to pack essentials daily and sleep inside my vehicle in cold weather conditions to avoid the automated morning activation window. Upon the utility company completely turning off the defective RF controller on November 23, 2024, the mG field permanently stabilized, and my respiratory distress, cardiovascular spikes, and cognitive impairments instantly ceased. g. Supporting Documentation and Metrics: Independent daily field testing logged severe mG data surges every 30 to 60 minutes. The technical timeline, data points, and correlation were formally validated by the utility provider’s engineering team, who confirmed that a defective radio controller on their capacitor bank was creating the exact environmental anomalies logged. Analytical log charts can be provided to HHS public health investigators upon request. This account is supported by the foundational frameworks established in the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) Report on Health Effects from Power-Line Electric and Magnetic Fields, as well as the World Health Organization (WHO) Environmental Health Criteria on Extremely Low Frequency Fields, which establish that acute infrastructure anomalies can induce rapid biological and electrical current responses in human tissue. https://www.niehs.nih.gov/sites/default/files/health/assets/docs_p_z/report_powerline_electric_mg_predates_508.pdf

A Finnish commenter describes EMF sensitivity with headaches, nausea, cognitive difficulty, and palpitati…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hello from Finland! I'm writing about my own experience of reacting to wireless devices and networks. When 4G was launched in Finland, "a net stick" was installed on my laptop, through which I could access the internet. At the same time, I bought an iPhone. My face was always red and hot after using Internet via laptop and after a few months my left hand and my right hand index finger started to hurt and tingle after using the iPhone as well. Then, the operator offered a tablett that has internet connection and would also work as a server for my laptop. That tablett screen was so electrical, that it stack in my fingers almost like there was some kind of glue on it. I discussed many times with the operator about this strange fenomen, but nobody knew, what was the problem. Well, after receiving my EMF meter, the picture got crystal clear! I haven't used that tablett since. At that time I went on business trips to different cities in Finland and at the same time there could be up to 5 mobile phones in the car, several of which were in use at the same time. On such trips, I suffered from really severe fatigue, nausea and headaches, and the confused feeling could continue even days after such a trip. I connected the nausea to the mobile phone being on, as I once turned on the phone in the car and immediately a wave of nausea attacked me. The difference between the real car sickness and EMF sickness is clear; car sickness makes you vomit, EMF sickness gets better, once you exit the vehicle and the metal box filled with EMFR and you don't vomit. The feeling however starts in the back of your scull for both conditions. Later on, I even unknowingly tested the effect of the phone and noticed that, for example the arrival of a text message while driving causes a rapid, stabbing headache, and the ringing of the phone causes nausea and a dizzy sensation in the head even before the phone makes a sound. One time, my friend had, according to my wish, switched off mobile data, but she got a normal call during the drive and she just turned the voice down, but let the phone ring for a long time, because she didn't understand, that I really suffer because of it. I was about to throw up and faint for the rest of the journey. I had to roll the window down to keep us on the road. When we got home, she noticed, that the phone had rang almost 15 minutes in a row. I was absolutely wrecked for two days afterwards. After that episode, phones are allowed in my car only in aeroplane mode. I can feel, when I am driving in the middle of two cell towers, because I get nausea and my eyes start to wander on the road ahead. Usually I also feel sudden weakness in my shoulders and arms and I need to open the window. Also some cold sweat may appear. That is scary. GPS is a BIG "NO NO" for me. I get really dizzy if somebody wants to check our location while driving. In public spaces with Wifi or WLAN, I feel a strange nervousness in my body and I find it difficult to concentrate on what I read in the library, for example. I feel almost like before a migraine, when at least I have the feeling that my head does not "belong to the body", but is somehow separate. It's difficult to explain. In places like this, even in schools where I have worked as a substitute, it is difficult to find words and I feel awkward, not relaxed. At home, we don't have wireless networks and I've been able to reduce exposure. When I sleep, my phone is in another room and mobile data turned off. I've tried to talk to my children about the disadvantages of mobile phones and instructed them to keep their phone's mobile data turned off if they have it in their pockets. My children didn't get their phones until they were 11 and 12 years old, but both of them are already hooked on their phones after 3-4 years, and this is very worrying. I have manually chosen 4G in my phone and I get symptoms if only 5G phones are in the same room with me. Sometimes after such a day I get fatigue and even heart palpitations. I'm aftaid, that 6G will finally break my health. Besides my EMF sensitivity I have been absolutely healthy all my life and have no medication. I have, however experienced problems with mold in my work place some 20 years ago and I have understood, that many people sensitive for EMF have similar background. I'm 53 years old. Please, make this idiotic "progress" just STOP!!! You are killing people with your so called "safety limits" , that are from the last century and have nothing to do with safety of living creatures! People in Finland and all around the world are frying because of your lousy "science". EMF harms human body in many ways, the heating effect is not the only one. This should be clear by now!!! Mr. Kennedy, thank you for all your efforts in this and many other vital matters in this crazy world we're living in!

The commenter describes a wife’s electrical sensitivity, painful cramping after nearby phone calls, assoc…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am commenting mostly from The perspective of husband to an Electrically Sensitive person as well as an experince I had. My wife has severe muscle cramping that gradually increases in intensity and pain after even a few moments of exposure to cell phone singals. Particularly, when a call is actively being used. Her reactions occar when an active call is within 35 feet of her but shorter distances increase the effect. This has been confirmed to me when I have simply walked by the house passing at closest, 10 feet from her. She being inside the house and having no knowledge that I was on a call, nor passing near her. Those evenings later she would be in pain and not understand why. I knew the reason because I had not respected the rule of maintaining my distance with my phone. The pain leads to insomnia for her and the insomnia leads to further severe pain. She is unable to function nor enjoy life until this cycle can be broken. Muscle relaxers have broken this cycle and prevented it but it's a challenge for her to go to town and be around people since cell phone use became widespread in the last decade. I wanted to briefly share our experience and I hope it is helpful to you. Thank-You
