Neurological symptoms & sleep

Hello, 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 husband, father, and concerned member of the public. My wife has been experiencing multiple sleepless nights around the time that some new 5G towers have popped up in our neighborhood. She is not able to function well throughout the day unless she stops and takes a nap. However, we have two little ones to take care of as well, so she's often not able to even catch up on sleep. And the cycle continues the next night. And this has been going on for a couple months or so. We believe this is due to the 5G radiation in our area. I support HHS taking 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.

Re: Docket HHS-OASH-2026-0397 I submit this as an individual consumer, patient, parent, and family member. It is based on personal experience and precautionary public-health concerns. Questions 2–4 — Personal Experience Exposure to Wi-Fi routers, phones, cell towers, Bluetooth devices, and environments with substantial wireless activity appears to coincide with recurring symptoms for me: ringing in my ears, tingling in my hands and body, headaches, brain fog, difficulty concentrating, chronic fatigue, poor sleep, and inflammation-related symptoms. I am also concerned about possible oxidative stress. My symptoms become more noticeable around wireless devices and higher-exposure environments. Reducing exposure and using wired connections are important to me. Personal testimony does not establish causation, but experiences like mine should be documented and investigated rather than dismissed. Questions 5–8 — Standards and Measurement In my view, current U.S. limits are far too high and emphasize acute heating rather than possible nonthermal, chronic, and cumulative effects. HHS should evaluate pulsing, modulation, peak and average power density, nighttime exposure, proximity, simultaneous frequencies, and lifetime exposure. My requested precautionary ceiling for chronic ambient wireless exposure is below 0.0001 milliwatts per square meter (0.1 microwatts per square meter), with exposure kept as close to zero as reasonably possible. This corresponds with the Building Biology SBM-2015 “no anomaly” category for RF radiation in sleeping areas. Other proposals include the BioInitiative Working Group’s 3–6 µW/m² target and the Seletun Scientific Panel’s 170 µW/m² proposal. Though different, each is substantially below prevailing U.S. limits. HHS should examine international research and disclose funding sources and industry conflicts. Testing one device alone does not represent real life. People may be exposed simultaneously to phones, Wi-Fi, towers, Bluetooth, smart meters, wearables, and neighboring transmitters. HHS should standardize long-term measurements in bedrooms, classrooms, workplaces, and neighborhoods. Questions 9–11 — Disclosure and Vulnerable Groups Consumers should receive clear information about emissions, cumulative exposure, wired alternatives, and disabling wireless functions. HHS should establish adverse-event reporting, environmental monitoring, longitudinal studies, and symptom registries. Children, pregnant women, older adults, people with medical conditions or implanted devices, exposed workers, and people reporting electromagnetic sensitivity require greater protection. Questions 12–15 — Technology, Infrastructure, and Environment HHS should investigate reported effects below federal limits involving sleep, cognition, neurological symptoms, tinnitus, fatigue, inflammation, oxidative stress, reproduction, and long-term health. 5G, 6G, Wi-Fi, satellites, Bluetooth, wearables, smart appliances, wireless medical devices, and smart meters should be studied as a combined exposure environment. Research should also examine possible effects on livestock, wildlife, pollinators, plants, soil biology, and ecosystems. Cell towers and small-cell antennas should not be placed near homes, schools, childcare centers, workplaces, or healthcare facilities without assessing cumulative exposure and effects on residents and animals. Questions 16–18 — Research and Policy Federal priorities should include independent long-term research into nonthermal effects, cumulative and childhood exposure, electromagnetic sensitivity, oxidative stress, neurological effects, sleep disruption, and wired alternatives. Research should be conducted independently of telecommunications-industry influence. I would vote to phase out and disable wireless communications and replace them with wired connections wherever technically possible. I support fiber-optic internet, wired Ethernet, wired telephones, wired school networks, and hardwired utility meters. I would not support expanding Wi-Fi, 5G, 6G, smart-city transmitters, wireless appliances, wearables, or similar systems. Homes, schools, workplaces, healthcare facilities, and public buildings should provide wired service by default, and wireless transmitters should be capable of being completely disabled. No one should be forced to accept continuous wireless exposure to access education, employment, healthcare, housing, transportation, or public life. The below-0.0001 mW/m² ceiling should be a backstop for unavoidable exposure, not authorization to expand wireless infrastructure. Scientific uncertainty should lead to independent investigation, extremely low precautionary limits, full disclosure, and wired alternatives. Thank you for considering my experience and recommendations. Kyle Bennett

Greetings, I'm Joshua Tosella, author of the book HOLY HYGIENE: Don't Get Sick. I have a lot to say about 5G. 5G causes very serious side effects in me, including nosebleeds, severe ED, blurry eyesight, mood swings, tiredness, depression, shrinking veins, choking on my own spittle and fluids, etc... The nosebleeds were the worse because they were so bad, I lost my HVAC business because of it. I even got cancer! I know for a fact it's the 5G causing it because I've run hundreds of tests and experiments. I was first able to determine my nosebleeds were caused by my phone, by simply turning off my phone. I was at my wits end searching for the cause of my symptoms and turning off my phone was actually one of the last things left to try. So I did it, and to my surprised, my nosebleeds stopped! To make sure, at great risk to my health, I turned my phone back on to see if my nosebleeds would come back and they did! I did this same simple experiment many many times to make sure 100%, that my nosebleeds were in fact being caused from my phone, and I can confirm after hundreds of tests that my phone was 100% casing my nosebleeds! Needless to say, at the time, I assumed all phones did that, so I had to keep my phone turned off and I lost all my customers, and then eventually had to give up my HVAC aspirations. After even further experimentation, I narrowed the cause of my nosebleeds and other medical issues, to 5G SPECIFICALLY! I did this by using the same method. I attempted to turn only my 5G off on my phone but left my phone on... I did this by manually switching my phone to the 4G-LTE network in settings. To my astonishment, my nosebleeds and other medical symptoms stopped, just as they did when I turned my phone off! Which clearly meant it was 5G specifically, causing my nosebleeds and other medical issues! So, the 4G-LTE network is obviously the safe network, when the 5G network is clearly dangerous or even a weapon, as I suspect! My life has been turned upside down because of this. As you might imagine, I had to stay away from everyone because their phones would cause serious medical issues for me like nosebleeds. I couldn't have friends, go to gatherings, or even go to church. It was also very difficult to find a job because everyone has 5G phones now. Since I didn't have much to do, I investigated 5G further. I found out that it effects aircraft altimeters and the FAA forced all commercial aircraft to upgrade their altimeters to "5G-safe" ones. Well, this is a problem, because aircraft altimeters are mechanical, not electrical! They are very simple but sensitive pieces of aircraft instruments that simply gives the pilot his altitude by measuring atmospheric pressure. This means 5G can effect living things, cells, equilibrium, or an animals sonar or magnetic sensory! Then there's the obviousness of it all... if you step back and look at the whole 5G thing, it makes no sense, unless it is a weapon. Think about it... it came out at the same time as COVID, the transmitters all went up when everyone else was locked down. Also, since when does "an upgrade" involve more and bigger? When it comes to tech, more and bigger is not usually an upgrade. And then there's the strange locations of these towers and transmitters, some all bunched up, some right next to one one another, all located in residential areas but not at places like the White House, or the homes of globalists, elites, or politicians??? And let's not forget the height... since when are transmitters required to be that close to the ground??? It makes ZERO sense that 5G transmitters would be placed that close to the ground if you're trying to get the best signal. I suspect 5G and COVID were weapons meant to work together because they even cause some of the same symptoms. I beg you and President Trump to ban 5G immediately! IT IS A WEAPON! I promise you that! In fact, I believe 5G is what is causing most of the irrational behavior we've been seeing since 2019. The fights on planes, the civil unrest, the violence, the strange irrational behavior, the evil behavior, none of which we saw before 2019. I honestly believe if POTUS banned 5G, it would make most of the country's problems go away! No one would even lose phone service or internet because when 5G goes out, all our phones automatically default back to the 4G-LTE network! No one will lose service and everyone will start feeling better right away!

The SAR (syndrome of acute radiation) caused by microwave radiation from telecommunication antennas, mobile phones, routers, computers, etc…, is the reason so many of us are sick, debilitated, confused, with memory loss, brain tumors, cardiac arrests, skin conditions, tinnitus, flu like symptoms, ADHD, Parkinson’s, dementia, to name a few. There exists a technology which grounds the microwave radiation, so it is not harmful to living beings and nature. Governments should start using this technology to help the population get better health. I personally am a hypersensitive person, affected by exposure to the wireless radiation emitted from antennas, mobile phones, computers, and routers, for example. My symptoms manifest as headaches, fogginess, tiredness, tingling in the face (specially the chin area), upset stomach, and eye strain. I’m very proud of Bobby Kennedy’s work in the Health Department. I hope he and his team keep digging for answers about the dangers of exposing humans and animals to microwave wireless radiation. I’m specially concerned for the children, as their skull’s thickness is less than an adults, thus the wireless radiation penetrates easily. The military operation of raising towers with antennas all over the world, needs to stop. Humanity is at risk. Children are at risk. Nature is at risk. Species are at risk. We are all at risk! We know better, we can do better! Let’s tackle the pink elephant in the room. If we do, Bobby Kennedy’s name will go down in history, for saving humanity from its finality. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

I get headaches , nausea, confusion if im near towers , or put my phone to my head. , i use speaker phone it helps a little

Hello, I believe I do have sensitivity related to being in settings where there is strong WiFi. I become disoriented when I'm in these settings ie: grocery stores like Target, Jewel-Osco Foods, Whole Foods, Walmart, Theaters both for movies & especially for the Performing Arts, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, any music or Plays. I am a volunteer usher for the Performing Arts venues & I have had to cut back significantly because I can't tolerate it & need time to recover after any event. I experience a feeling of disorientation in my head & sometimes an uncomfortable sensation in my chest. It goes away after I remove myself from whichever setting I'm in. During my annual Mammogram I react the same way. I believe Mammograms are Ionizing Radiation. also during CT scans, Panoramic Dental x-rays. I suspect it has affected my memory & may be something like CTE that football players get from repeated brain injuries. I'm glad someone is paying attention to this & investigating it further. I have Right eye Optic Nerve Atrophy which may be caused by a small stroke which I believe is somehow connected. I wondered about a Havana Syndrome situation after I saw a program about some people who experienced it. I'm not sure what else to say. I'd be glad to answer any questions you have. I've mentioned this to various physicians but none have known what to make of it. I've had CT scans which were done during an acute illness which I can send if needed. Thank you Thank you.

A good friend of mine realized that her severe headaches and disabling neurological symptoms were related to her using a cell phone, being near other people’s cell phones, and living in a city with many sources of WiFi. She became so ill that she had to move from the city she liked and had lived in for many years to a less populated area that had less cell phone towers and satellite dishes at the time. She was homeless for months while she looked for a permanent home. She’s had many difficulties since leaving the community where her friends live, she hasn’t fully recovered her health, and she is no longer able to work full time in her profession. Meanwhile the area she moved to has acquired more WiFi technology. The harms of WiFi technology are well documented. Seeing what my friend has gone through made me understand how devastating those harms are. We absolutely do need controls and limits on the corporations that value their profits over people’s health.

My employer has recently installed BioUp LED bulbs. These are AI controlled to adjust the blue light frequency. As a 3rd shift worker that struggles with ideopathic hypersomnia, this has had a profound negative effect on me. It manipulates the circadian rhythm, alters hormones, disrupts meletonin production. After being in the lights for an hour and a half, i have severe cramps,followed by 3 weeks of light bleeding.my body aches like i have the flu constantly. I work in the dark whenever im able to, and turn off lights wherever I can. It helps a little. They are motion sensored, so its impossible to keep them off completely. Automated buildings are killing people slowly. My teenager is also having similar issues from school. And her mood is irritable, angry, all the time. Its not at all normal for her. Shes missing a day or 2 a week from it. Its well known what damages LEDs ,specifically the blue light frequency, does to our body systems. Infertility,low sperm viability, cancer, retinal damage, ect,ect. These are harmful, not just blinding us while driving. They are dangerous,and MUST be removed from infrastructure ,homes, SCHOOLS.

Causes anxiety and rapid heartbeat

I am submitting this comment as a consumer concerned about long-term exposure to wireless radiation from phones, Wi-Fi routers, cell towers, and other connected devices. I urge HHS to conduct the same thorough independent review of exposure limits as other respondents have suggested, however. my most pressing concerns lie within groups of already compromised and vulnerable people. Any review undertaken by HHS needs to consider those most heavily exposed, the most severely impacted, and needs to examine effects beyond tissue heating. Please prioritize research that reflects how people actually encounter wireless radiation: repeated exposure over many years, often from multiple sources and devices used close to the body. Assessments should consider signal strength, pulse patterns, duration, and combined exposure. The papers by Melnick and Moskowitz (2026 analysis of animal data)(https://doi.org/10.1186/s12940-026-01288-6), Lai and Levitt’s review of technical features of wireless exposures (https://doi.org/10.1080/15368378.2022.2065683), and Scarato’s review of US regulatory gaps with her proposed reforms (https://doi.org/10.3389/fpubh.2025.1677583) warrant careful consideration alongside the broader evidence. Consumers should not have to navigate these questions alone. Please assess whether additional protections are needed for children, pregnant women, and other potentially vulnerable groups: especially vulnerable groups of people with a history of head injury. I ask that exploration be made into links between shearing injury (DAI, TAI, and CHI) and CTE (or TES, Traumatic Encephalopathy Syndrome) from exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation and the ensuing VGCC activation (indicated by Martin Pall, 2022 in"Low Intensity Electromagnetic Fields Act via Voltage-Gated Calcium Channel (VGCC) Activation to Cause Very Early Onset Alzheimer's Disease: 18 Distinct Types of Evidence", https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35114921 ). It is my personal observation that the causal relationship between RFR and Alzheimer's may extend to another Tauopathy, TES (or CTE). If I were to describe my experience after a shearing injury, it would be decades of pain and impairment via exposure to wireless, cellular, microwave, flickering lights operating in radio spectrum speed, and other RFR... decades of pain and impairment after exposure to radio frequency radiation, most probably because of VGCC activation, similar to post concussive syndrome. Or as frequently repeated post concussive events. Maybe that leads to CTE. Thank you for your attention.
