Neurological symptoms & sleep

The FCC's human exposure limits have not been updated since 1996 when people were using flip phones and many people like me didn't even have a cell phone yet. Cell phones today are like giant computers packed into a tiny powerful handheld devices and we have 5G cell towers, Smart meters, Smart appliances, watches and wearables, Ipods, etc This situation alone should be enough for HHS to dig into the decades of research on biological harm going all the way back to the 1970s from our own US military. We have never had an agency with any type of health expertise regulating this industry, Here is my story: In 2017, I was acutely injured by a Smart meter that was attached to my home without my knowledge or consent. One day I was a perfectly normal healthy person, and the next day I had all these strange and serious symptoms like headaches, dizziness, heart palpitations, inability to sleep, constant fatigue, increased gut and joint pain, terrible tinnitus, and overwhelming anxiety for no reason at all. I felt like I was being physically and mentally tortured whenever I was in my own house. The acute symptoms subsided when I was able to opt-out and get the Smart meter removed from my home, but the chronic symptoms persist to this day and I deal with most of these (tinnitus, dizziness, terrible fatigue, poor sleep, daily gut and joint pain, and high blood sugar readings despite daily exercise and my low carb, low sugar Paleo diet) every day and they increased even more when the highspeed fiberoptics were laid under the streets and the 5G cell towers erected above ground in my neighborhood during Covid. I have 185 cell towers and antennas within a 3 mile radius of my home and surrounded on all sides in my neighborhood by close range 4G/5G cell towers 1/3 mile away from my house. Even though I had my Smart meter removed when I was injured in 2017, the Smart meters on all my neighbor's homes on the 1/4 acre lots surrounding me are all emitting pulsing radiation 24/7. Even though I am hardwired through my cable lines and connections and the ethernet cords and adaptors throughout my house, I am still exposed to all the wireless radiation coming from my neighbor's Wi-Fi routers. Even though I had an electrician install three switches connected to my electric box so I could turn off all the electricity to my bedroom at night, I am still being adversely affected by the EMFs coming from the high voltage power lines going right through the center of my village two blocks from my house. You see because of the ubiquitous nature of wireless radiation today, I am being forced to live in a toxic soup of microwave radiation 24/7 that is causing oxidative stress to every cell of my body and causing all kinds of harmful health effects that destroy my quality of life, increase my risk of cancer, and reduce my life expectancy. These are all involuntary exposures with NO informed consent for me or my family members who are also being adversely affected even though they don't feel the harm like I do. In addition, every time I go into public places like my schools, my church, retail stores, restaurants, movie theaters, my local coffee shop, and especially airports when I have to fly, I am being blasted by both public WiFi and cell phone radiation coming from all the people scrolling and searching on their cell phones all around me (not to mention all the cell towers surrounding the buildings).. It's very hard for me to even stand in line at the store these days with people on either side of me and how powerful the new cell phones are. I am urging you to please consider the ubiquitous nature of all of these sources of wireless radiation (cell towers, Smart meters, cell phones, WiFi routers, Smart TVs and appliances, watches and wearables, Air pods and Smart devices, electric vehicles and charging stations, solar panels, and now monstrous AI Data Centers) and how they are exposing us to a toxic soup of microwave radiation 24/7 that we can't escape from anywhere anymore. Please use my personal experience and the thousands more you will receive along with the 10,000 pages of scientific studies of evidence of biological harm to humans and the environment to update the FCC's RF radiation exposure limits. This is the biggest environmental toxin we are facing in America right now and contributes to all of the chronic diseases that are destroying our children and bankrupting our nation (diabetes and obesity, infertility, dementia and Alzheimers, Autoimmune disease, Autism Allergies and ADD, Cancer). This is also national security threat and must be halted until new, real safety controls and updated human and environmental exposure limits are enacted and put in place. Thank you for urgent attention and action on this long overdue threat to American health, happiness, and liberty. I'm grateful RFK Jr is in charge of Health for all Americans and all our children because I know he cares and things are finally going to change!!

I want to share here what recent modern radiation (5G, various microwave towers, radio frequency, WiFi, etc.) exposures have done to my health and the health of others I know and have worked with. The body has never in its entire evolution, experienced something so foreign as our modern day, electromagnetic fields and radio frequency radiation. Our bodies respond as if the incoming signal were an invader. The result can be a range of symptoms that can then result in myriad health problems, many of which can be quite devastating. There is clinical data that shows certain forms of radiation cause cancer in human humans and animals! Within seconds of EMF or radio frequency exposure, the body recognizes at a cellular level the need to protect itself from attack. Unfortunately, the protein coating on each cell in the human body cannot recognize these forms of radiation because our bodies did not evolve to recognize these unnatural signals. I have personally experienced many negative effects of exposure to modern cell towers, microwave towers, and other radio frequency and wireless radiation. I know many other people who have experienced these effects, including many of my clients in my private practice as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Healing Arts Practitioner. These negative effects and symptoms include but are not limited to: nausea, headache, migraines, fatigue, dizziness, sleeplessness, and chronic insomnia, skin rashes, sore and or chronically dry eyes, vertigo, heart palpitations, and anxiety. As a health practitioner that cares deeply about my own health, as well as the health of others, I am deeply concerned about the ongoing implementation of stronger and stronger forms of radiation in and around our neighborhoods, schools, on public transportation, commercial and private aircraft, and various other places on our precious Earth! We have yet to even know the full ramifications of these types of radiation exposures to our animals, and all the creatures and plant life in the wilds of our world. We must stop the ongoing implementation of these dangerous forms of radiation!

Public Comment to HHS on RF/Wireless Radiation To the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), My name is Lisa Hildwine, and I am submitting this public comment to urge HHS to urgently and independently evaluate the potential adverse health and environmental effects of radiofrequency (RF) radiation, commonly referred to as wireless radiation. I appreciate HHS opening this comment period and taking a leadership role in an issue that directly affects public health. For too long, the health questions surrounding RF exposure have been treated primarily as a communications issue. In my view, this is not only about technology and spectrum management—it is about medicine, biology, neurology, cardiology, and public health, and it requires HHS-level attention. Family health impacts and why I am concerned I am writing as a family member who has witnessed severe and escalating medical and neurological events that I believe warrant urgent investigation for possible links to RF/wireless exposure. Beginning in 2017, my son experienced serious health and neurological changes across multiple settings including home, jail, and hospital. These concerns worsened significantly in 2026. In 2026, my son had ER visits and inpatient diagnostics at two hospitals (September 2026). During this period, there were events consistent with severe neurological compromise, including stroke-like symptoms and behavior that was profoundly out of character for him. There were also concerns for a possible cardiac event. Additionally, a traumatic brain injury (TBI) was documented on MRI, without any known external physical incident that would explain the injury. I understand that a personal experience does not prove causation. However, I also know that public health agencies have a duty to investigate credible reports and patterns—especially when exposures are widespread, increasing, and often unavoidable. Targeting, harassment, and the need to evaluate real-world exposure conditions I also have documented concerns about harassment and targeting beginning in 2016. I am asking HHS to recognize that “real-world exposure” is not always a simple consumer-choice scenario. Some individuals may face conditions that involve coercion, abuse, surveillance technologies, and an inability to escape exposure, particularly when they are in controlled environments. High-risk populations: incarcerated people and trafficked individuals I am especially concerned about populations who have little to no ability to reduce RF exposure or leave the environment, including: Incarcerated people Trafficked individuals and others under coercive control These groups may face higher exposure, limited medical advocacy, barriers to documentation, and reduced access to independent evaluation. If RF/wireless exposure can contribute to neurological or cardiovascular events, then these populations may be disproportionately harmed and least able to be protected. Additional note: congressional request for documentation I also note that Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (Florida’s 13th District) has requested that I submit documentation regarding these concerns. I am including this statement here to underscore that these issues are being raised not only by individual families, but also through constituent communications with elected officials. Closing Thank you for the opportunity to comment. I urge HHS to approach RF/wireless radiation as a public health issue requiring urgency, scientific integrity, and compassion for families reporting harm. People need health agencies to listen, investigate, and act. Sincerely, Lisa Hildwine Tampa, Florida 808-398-8670

Since commenting on the technologies that have caused my Radiation Poisoning Sickness over a four decade period, my targeting has been off the charts with microwave assaults and sleep deprivation frequencies. I am providing just a couple of the studies and a documentary. Additionally I am providing a 6/23/26 MRI of my left hip; an injury caused by months of directed energy radiation causing "a tear" leaving me unable to walk. As soon as I had the MRI on 6/23/26 the radiation assault stopped and I was able to walk again.

Retired lineman local 9 IBEW 46 years There is an emf field being projected all over Prescott Az. This thing starts vibrating my head at times. I actually have Havana syndrome stuff I believe. Brain fog etc. I have talked to my ear Dr and going to see a neurologist next. I have dealt with emf during my career. This is something else. I emailed Mark Finchem the local representative and Eli Crane about this. I also called the tribe who owns the mall across RT 69. I dont want to sound nuts here but I had some stuff said in my head during mass. With the hills in Prescott these line of sight transmitters are literally pumping straight in peoples heads. The signal at times becomes a tap tap. There is people in town associated with Jeffery Epstein. Will Green etc. I am beginning to think there is some kind of agitation being done to people. The emf cranks up during commute hours. also on Sundays when people are going to church. There seems to be a lot of overstimulated people lately. Mike Green had said years ago Will was going to be a dj back in their Epstein island days...I lived down the street. . Mass surveillance by law enforcement? I get real strong signals from the cameras on the highway taking 17 to phoenix. those you just past thru. At my home the signal is constant. My question is who is the actual enforcement on this? Is this Elon Musk and satellite? 5g seem to come awful fast. In research on this subject I have seen glimpses of certain parties using this type of agitation in warfare.

I am an individual consumer who started experiencing debilitating symptoms after the installation of a phone tower at about 250 meters from my home in 2021. Early symptoms (2021) were brain fog, tinnitus, thyroid inflammation, extremely low blood pressure, instability, (2022) episodes of severe vertigo, sleep disturbances, visual disturbances, fatigue, memory loss, mental exhaustion. (3) With time and observation I have been able to pair tinnitus, head buzz, visual disturbances and imbalance to the phone tower proximity. Now, if I leave the house for a few days or more the head buzz, vertigo and instability go away, and the other symptoms ameliorate as well. As soon as I come back symptoms worsen. GPS technology from the water smart meter was causing me vertigo and dizziness when I was close to it. After it was removed I didn't have any more episodes of that kind. Bluetooth signal inside a car affects me the same way: extreme vertigo, dizziness, and also nervousness and irritability. Once the signal is deactivated the symptoms go away. Near light bulbs or other sources of strong EMI I experience severe dizziness; I can’t tolerate noise or lights—not even the vibration created by my own voice—and I have to lie down in a dark silent room for at least an hour for the symptoms to subside partially. Near electrical sources I experience more severe tinnitus and sudden momentary hearing loss, and instability. Near Wi-Fi and cordless phones (less than 10 meters): tightness in the head and pain in the forehead, agitation and inability to concentrate, tightness in the eyes and neck. Smart watches in the proximity cause me extreme low blood pressure, vision disturbances, agitation, headache, I have to lie down to avoid fainting. Around electricity higher than 100 V/m or wifi: shakiness, tremors, uncontrollable nervousness, anxiety. For more than a year I was not able to use or even look at my smart phone. If I was on a phone call I would feel a strong buzz in my head. Looking at the screen would make me dizzy. If there’s a phone tower at less then 300 meters, Wi-Fi or electricity exceeding 10 V/m, I cannot fall asleep. Before I understood that my problem was an EMF injury, I was always tired, always sleepy; I struggled to open my eyes in the morning and keep them open throughout the day. My brain felt like it was on fire; it could never “shut down.” When using a laptop or smart phone I had trouble reading screens, at the beginning I even had trouble reading paper, I had difficulty seeing in general. My vision was blurry, and I had trouble understanding what was written. I experienced weight loss as I was too tired to eat. I was often bed ridden. I saw improvements after I started avoiding phones and computers and used a dirty electricity filter. It took me more than a year to start using my phone again for a few seconds at a time. Phone radiation would make me dizzy and make tinnitus louder. Now, almost 3 years after the onset of the symptoms, I always keep my phone on airplane mode with all the antennas turned off. I can only use it for a few minutes at a time, or I get dizzy and experience stronger tinnitus and momentary hearing loss. The proximity of the phone and radio towers still affect me greatly with constant tinnitus, hearing disturbances, fatigue, cognitive issues, sleep disturbances, blood pressure, occasional vertigo and disequilibrium and thyroid issues. At the beginning I experienced severe cognitive decline and memory loss, to the point of being unable to even think about cooking or do any complex activity that involved thinking. Now it is better, but I am not like myself anymore. I experienced and still experience fatigue and weakness and tinnitus as I live close to two phone towers that were installed in the last 4 years, and radio antennas. Medical evaluations were always inconclusive. No doctor had the ability or knowledge or tools to assess my condition, although neurologists reported that my symptoms are increasingly common. (5) Building Biology exposure limits guidelines and people adverse experiences should be taken into consideration when evaluating safety standards. (9) Exposure related information should always and clearly be exposed to consumers, residents, workers, schools,  Healthcare Providers and local governments regarding any type of radiation that people might be exposed to through products, devices, technology, infrastructures etc. This should be done consistently through mass media, and education. (11) Any and all population should be informed and protected against exposure risks and everybody should have a right to be healthy and avoid radiation especially if sensitive. Citizens should have the ability to easily and effectively oppose the installation of smart meters, and phone and radio towers in the proximity of their homes, work places, schools and hospitals.

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 parent and concerned member of the public. In 2012 I was exposed to high levels of microwave radiation from two smart meters which were installed directly ont he exterior wall of my bedroom. I experienced a number of symptoms which included: brain fog, fatigue, whole body irritability, dizziness, and a squeezing pressure in my head. I was forced to move out of my apartment and seek alternative housing. This exposure has developed into a sensitivity i didn't have prior to that exposure. Wether or not the utility meters are technically "smart" meters or not is besides the point. They emit high levels of pulsed radiation 24/7. Now, 13 years later, I am living in a house with my wife and two daughters. We don't use wifi(we use ethernet) and we use our cell phones very conservatively. Over the years following my exposure I was pushed out of a number of different jobs becasue I couldn't tolerate the environment. Traveling anywhere via buses, trains, airplanes is very difficult. I work as a private contractor practicing a type of physical bodywork( Structural Integration/ myofascial work) which requires me to rent space for sessions. I am very limited in my options because of either a cell tower placed too close to the building, a banck of smart meters on an adjacent building or wall, or too many smart devices, etc. It's not that I cannot be around wireless radiation at all. i can. It all depends on the proximity and strength of the source. I want to be clear. I did not suffer from this condition prior to my exposre to smart meters in 2012. In fact, I used my cell phone and connected my laptop to wifi frequently. I didn't think anything of it. After figuring out what was causing my symptoms( I was lucky enough to hear someone else talking about it) I started looking into the effects of wireless radiation on biological health. There are 1000's of studies showing harm from exposure to wireless radiation. I am very grateful and hopeful that the HHS will take the necessary steps to consider the evidence and take appropriate action to upgrade and enforce proper regulations and exposure limits. I've attached some files as evidence of action taken by other countries and as evidence of biological harm from wireless radiation. 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.

I am an elementary school teacher. I started having nervous system aggravation and tinnitus when cell towers were first being built in the bay area back in 2002. I left the bay area to move to the country where cell towers are not invading my health. My symptoms have decreased. In the past 15 years teachers have been experiencing a huge shift in students abilities to focus in the classroom. I have not met one teacher in the past 5 years who isn't having major issues with students being off task and unable to focus or remember two or even one-step directions. This massive change in students becoming so overly agitated while needing to apply 3 minutes of prolonged focus has become universal in schools. The media influence of students spending excessive hours being exposed to adult violent content on screens is changing how students relate to learning. That alone has caused a huge shift as students completely shut out all education to act disruptive and disrespectful like their heroes on tick-tock. I personally see children coming into school already in fight or flight, because of their overly stimulating busy lifestyle and exposure to wifi radiation. There are questions about the physical safety of the wireless radiation associated with computer use. Building Biology Specialist, Laura Markwardt BBEC, EMRS works to reduce electromagnetic radiation in buildings in order to make environments more healthy for inhabitants. She states that electromagnetic radiation has biological effects on cognition, mood, cardiovascular, and cell function. Laura states that the current FCC guidelines for radiation safety are outdated, arbitrary, and do not take into account the biological effects of the technology (Markwardt, L., 2023). Current legislation demands that the FCC reexamine their safety standards. The Federal Communications Commission was ordered to review their 5G safety standards. This must occur. The existing heat level standards are arbitrary as electromagnetic radiation can penetrate buildings and bodies. Electromatic radiation has more complex side effects than exposure to heat levels. As the technology is new it must be studied and regulated with concern for our children's health, it is a major concern that it is being pushed forward without adequate safety testing. If our regulatory agencies are going to support the use of 5G technology without proper safety data then it stands to reason that parents and teachers should be the ones to oppose children’s use of 5G until we have more information on the actual safety or lack thereof of such novel technologies. Studies of how media influences children’s mental capacities show that increased screen time for children at age 1 year is associated with developmental delays in communication and problem solving at ages 2-4 years old (Jama Network, 2023). The CDC recently changed their Developmental Milestones for children, which moved the developmental milestones to older ages (Real Clear Education, 2022). There is concern that they lowered the milestones and standards for language and that the change could cause developmental delays to go undetected. Could developmental delays be caused by wifi radiation? This must be examined. The best policy is to address developmental delays early with treatment options and learning interventions. Specialists are concerned that with the new lower CDC standards children that are in the 25 to 45 percentile are no longer in the developmental monitoring range causing them to go unnoticed and limiting the possibility to utilize early interventions (Solis-Moreira, J., 2022). Studies find that there is a correlation between heavy media use and moderate amounts of muscular pain and dysfunction. Length of screen time is related to severity of pain. The research suggests that children who are using computers and electronic games may adopt the types of sustained and awkward postures that are associated with musculoskeletal disorders in working adults. It also suggests that the physical demands of prolonged computer use could lead to adverse effects on child development including visual, neurological, and physical changes (NIH, 2002). Studies on the detrimental effects of media use on children’s eyes report that increased time on the computer causes children to develop myopia, which is nearsightedness. The studies reported that high levels of cell phone use is associated with about a 30% higher risk of myopia and when combined with prolonged computer use raised the risk factor of developing myopia to 80% in children (Science Daily, 2021). The infostructure that the cell towers support are causing mental, emotional, and physical harm to our children. This is an openly discussed fact amongst concerned teachers. We see the effects of this technology harming our students daily. We must test this technology against actual human health outcomes not overlays of unrelated data points of heat and human tolerance to heat levels.

Question 2. While I have a background in Neuroscience (PhD) and Government Administration in Health Care, I am retired and these comments are submitted as a member of the Public who is sensitive to EMF. Question 3 a. Mobile phone, Wi-Fi, wireless infrastructure b. Daily- worse at night c. Dizziness, vertigo, inner ear balance issues, earaches, acute episodes of tinnitus, sinus, fatigue, stiffness muscles and joints, headaches, sleep disturbances, breathlessness, dry cough, palpitations, tachycardia, chest pain, dry eyes, blurred vision, skin rashes, burning pain, memory issues, difficulty thinking- brain fog, pressure on head. d. Symptoms began in Spring of 2020. e. - f. I no longer use a cell phone, turn Wi-Fi off at night, wear EMF protection clothing (e.g. HAVN). I purchased a 5G meter and tracked fields back to a local cell tower. House plants began dying, so I used meter to map out areas with lower field readings to change seating arrangements at home and stop plants from dying. Fields seem to accelerate mold growth and food spoilage. I got rid of newer, made in China, lamps and fans which had electric fields too high to measure. Everything has improved, health is slowly recovering, but symptoms are not completely eliminated. Question 5 o. Electronic products, especially foreign-made in China, should be tested for EMF output before sold to consumers. Question 10 c. Dying foliage around power lines and/or cell towers may be an indicator of levels that are too high. See attached photo. Question 18 Would like to see studies on effect of EMF on cellular communication, mitochondria. Establishment of EMF free zones for sensitive people. It has been suggested that EMF causes mold to increase growth and mycotoxin production. My observation of food and/or plants molding overnight supports the idea of an effect on food spoilage.

I am submitting this comment in response to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Request for Information regarding Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I write as a former Defense employee and a concerned member of the public. Through my professional experience and personal observations, I have developed familiarity with both low-frequency and high-frequency signals and their potential effects on the human body. Low-frequency energy, such as intense bass vibrations, can produce whole-body vibration that some individuals report as capable of affecting cardiovascular function. High-frequency energy can produce thermal effects, including skin heating or burns. I have personally experienced localized burns on my arms and legs, as well as significant heating at the crown of the head, which I attribute to RF exposure.I am particularly concerned that the deployment of 6G technologies may intensify these exposures. Sensitive anatomical areas, such as the male genitalia—where relatively thin skin provides limited barrier protection—merit careful study regarding potential biological effects. The symptoms associated with what has been termed “Havana Syndrome,” experienced by U.S. personnel in Cuba, closely resemble effects that some members of the public, including myself, have reported: temporary cognitive impairment, difficulty concentrating or performing work, episodic motor limitations, and memory disruption.I respectfully urge HHS to thoroughly evaluate both public experiential reports and the existing body of scientific evidence; to identify critical gaps in current research; to give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations; and to establish clear federal research priorities addressing wireless radiation and public health. Thank you for providing this opportunity for individuals and families to contribute to the record. On side note, I strongly believe President Trumps Staff is is out performing many I have seen in the past. Thank you very much.
