ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hello RFK Jr., I am writing concerning the use of 5-15g towers. In my experience the damage done to my cells thus far are noticeable. I have had the worst issues with what appears to be microwave and radiation sickness symptoms. I have been getting tested for the last 4 years including MRI, Ulta Sound, Blood and stool. Even camera down throat, all test either once a year and Blood tested several times. Always come back nothing wrong with my physical being. The amount of barfing and the other end daily is rough, having manufactured brain fog, memory issues, not being able to absorb new information, and pain in my body has debilitated me. I ask that you put a stop to the use of these frequencies that have already been proved to cause cancer in children. I have been detoxing and taking meds and supplements for years to combat the frequencies. Thank-you Cynthia Mercado

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 patient. I have been affected by wireless radiation such as wifi routers, cellphones, and celltowers since 2019 starting at 14 years old. My symptoms include headaches, fatigue, joint pain, heartbeat irregularities, shaking, balance problems, severe brain-fog to the point of losing the ability to speak and understand language, and widespread pain. These symptoms increased in severity the longer and more often I was in proximity to wireless radiation such as cellphones or buildings with active wifi routers or hotspots. Additionally, the longer I was exposed to wireless radiation the longer it took my body to recover enough to handle being exposed again. I was already homeschooled, which allowed me to control the environment I was in most of the day, but I had to drop out of any extra-curricular programs that were held inside a building as well as limit my time in public places due to wifi and cellphone exposure. In 2020, 5G towers started to be put up in my neighborhood in Chicago and I discovered that these towers hurt me to the extent that walking past one would keep me housebound and incapable of doing much besides laying still for the next 24 hours. My family was forced to move away from the city as more and more 5G towers were put up, limiting the places I could go. Currently, I live with my parents in a completely wired house, keep my phone on airplane mode whenever it is on my person, and continue to be severely limited in activities and outings due to symptoms from wireless radiation. I am unable to have an in-person job in any building with wifi and neither can I do any service such as jury duty. I am nearly housebound; Going to the grocery store, to church, to friend’s houses, or virtually any indoor public space has to be carefully planned and my exposure time limited to an hour maximum in order for me to be able to heal within 36 hours. 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.

Esposto a radiazioni da emittenti radiotv soffro di insonnia da decenni e come sondaggista ho verificato che la maggior parte degli abitanti di Volturino (FG) accusa lo stesso problema, con conseguenze sulla pressione arteriosa e aspettativa di vita più bassa del 60% rispetto a 2 paesi vicini più distanti a 2 km. Se l'insonnia è causa di caduta delle difese immunitarie è evidente che le persone si ammalano prima e muoiono prima. Ed ecco testimoniato il risultato della mortalità prematura a Volturino. Mortalità prematura a Volturino-FG esposta a radiazioni elettromagnetiche tra 2-6 V/m propagate da oltre 200 antenne radiotv rispetto a due comuni vicini, più distanti dalle antenne. anni 1990 - 2025 ALBERONA + MOTTA M.NO ab 1531 Anni - Decessi 40/49 7 50/60 20 61/70 67 tot. 94 VOLTURINO ab 1590 40/49 24 +243% 50/60 36 +80% 61/70 90 +34% tot.150 (+60%) Antonio Gagliardi presidente e sondaggista Ipsos-Doxa

Reports sleep problems, headaches and agitation after nearby facilities were energized while explicitly w…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Public Comment on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Exposure Docket No. HHS-OASH-2026-0397 I urge the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to support independent research into potential health effects of long-term, real-world electromagnetic field (EMF) and radiofrequency (RF) exposure, take reports of symptoms seriously, and identify practical ways to reduce unnecessary exposure while scientific questions remain unresolved. Personal Experience and Residential Exposure I live in San Mateo, California, within approximately 500 feet of two Crown Castle wireless facilities. The City of San Mateo Public Works Department confirmed that the facility at 239–249 Elm Street (permit WC-2023-000082) was issued a permit on May 19, 2023, and the facility at 200 N. San Mateo Drive, on Monte Diablo Avenue (permit WC-2023-000127), was issued a permit on June 16, 2023. Both facilities completed construction, passed City inspection, and received final signoff. I noticed increased sleep problems, headaches, and physical agitation when the facilities were energized. By physical agitation, I do not mean simply worry or anxious thoughts. I mean feeling physically unsettled, keyed up, and unable to fully relax. I have also noticed less physical agitation when I am away from home. I cannot establish that RF exposure caused these symptoms, and my experience alone cannot prove causation. However, the timing of these changes and the difference I notice when away from home concern me. My home should be a place where I can rest comfortably, yet I have become concerned about how I feel in my own residential environment. I cannot readily control the presence or operation of nearby wireless infrastructure. I share this experience not as proof of causation, but because firsthand reports can help identify questions that warrant scientific investigation. Research and Public Health HHS should prioritize independent, rigorous research into potential non-cancer effects of long-term, repeated, real-world RF and EMF exposure. Research should examine possible effects on sleep, headaches, neurological and other physiological functions, and overall well-being. It should consider prolonged exposure under everyday conditions, not just short-term exposure scenarios. HHS should transparently assess the strengths and limitations of existing studies, including conflicting findings, identify gaps in the evidence, and determine what additional research is needed. Research should investigate possible biological mechanisms and whether certain populations, including children, may be more vulnerable. People reporting symptoms they associate with RF or EMF exposure should neither be dismissed because causation is uncertain nor assumed to have established causation. Researchers should consider symptom patterns, exposure circumstances, timing, changes when circumstances change, and other possible contributing factors. These observations can help generate testable hypotheses. Medical Evaluation, Disability, and Accessibility HHS should distinguish between recognizing symptoms and functional limitations, investigating possible medical causes, and addressing accessibility barriers. These are related but distinct issues. An approach focused only on accommodating functional limitations risks leaving questions about possible biological or medical causes unanswered. People whose symptoms affect sleep, daily activities, or quality of life deserve both practical consideration and serious scientific investigation. Recommendations I respectfully ask HHS to: Support independent research into potential non-cancer effects of long-term, real-world EMF and RF exposure. Identify research gaps and prioritize investigation of sleep, neurological and physiological effects, and potentially vulnerable populations. Develop balanced ways to document and investigate reported symptoms without assuming or dismissing causation. Evaluate practical ways to reduce unnecessary exposure in homes, schools, and communities, including wired alternatives where feasible. Communicate clearly about established findings, conflicting evidence, and remaining uncertainties. Ensure that investigating possible medical causes is not displaced by an approach focused solely on accessibility or functional impairment. My purpose is to ensure that the experiences of people who report health concerns associated with wireless infrastructure are considered alongside the broader scientific evidence. I urge HHS to conduct a thorough, independent, and transparent assessment of potential health effects, identify research priorities, and recommend proportionate measures to protect public health while uncertainties remain.

A healthcare professional calls for updated FCC rules and community input on tower siting, and reports mi…

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 healthcare professional and personal experience (patient). As a health professional, I am aware that the FCC rules do not take into account the current research regarding health impacts of currently used frequency bands and intensities of exposure. The rules were set up when there was minimal research, and frequency bands used were much fewer G’s. Also, general exposure was much less 2 or 3 decades ago. The current exposure levels were unimagined several decades ago. It is well past time the health impacts be studied and FCC rules be adjusted appropriately to well done research. Community input is also very essential for siting of towers. The local folks are the ones that are living with the exposure, and it is important they be given a say. They are generally not compensated for the presence of a tower/exposure, unless they are hosting the tower. It is not uncommon for a tower ‘host’ to not be living in the host location. Personally, I have had to make significant educational and tool expenditures to mitigate EMF exposure effects in my home environment. Multiple migraines per day arrived with a new EMF exposure, along with a notable decline in cognitive function, memory, and capacity to meet complexities of daily life with aplomb. 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.

Describes suspected electronic targeting, persistent hallucinations and device problems, reports improvem…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I was a small business owner/community organizer whose business was targeted and shut down by the FDA for the sale of all natural herbal products (no extracts or synthetics) several years back. My staff and I coordinated a community protest which attracted the attention of several major AP news outlets which showed favorable coverage for what our community leaders (including veterans and chronic condition sufferers) had to share which ultimately led to the overturning of the citywide ban (and a year later a nationwide DEA ban was overturned). Less than 6 months after this ban was overturned I began to experience issues with my electronic devices (around the time when the Pegasus cell phone hacking software was leaked into the US black market) which originally targeted my e-mails and locked me out of several of my accounts (Facebook, G-mail) & was persistent in distracting me from being present at my business. I reported the incident and spent dozens of hours at various customer services repair locations receiving the runaround (whom at that time did not acknowledge the Pegasus virus and said that such an attack was impossible on their platforms which was later proven to be false around that time). As a person in the public spotlight whom had caught the negative attention of powerful people potentially either in Big Pharma or elsewhere I believe that I was a target after the major national news publications and coverage which my name was featured involving this controversial issue. By the end of the following year I began experiencing audible & tactile hallucinations after what I believe to be a coordinated attack that was induced by the stress of the situations, the uncertainty of what was going on with my devices at the time and most importantly worsened and influenced by the remote access into my personal devices. My hallucinations persist to this day (even after being completely sober off of all medicines and even herbals for several years before getting psychiatric treatment with some prescribed medication). There were numerous times when it seemed like my condition was improving and my devices would start overheating and I would notice correspondence with my newer electronic devices also overheating and acting strange. This (along with TDCS neurofeedback therapy which taught me about my brainwaves and their relation to electricity with weekly measurements and 4 QEEG scans) inspired me to invest in an EMF reader, gauss meter, multimeter a non-ionizing fan and several other debugging tools which I use when I experience my symptoms flair up. Sometimes they are mild with all of the treatment and holistic practices such as breathing exercise as well as combining with sinewave generators. I also eliminated owning a smart phone and only have a flip phone and a home phone which has caused my symptoms to improve & only allowing hardwired non-wireless signals in my apartment (also has improved the functionality of my devices). I have been notified several times that my info has been leaked onto the dark web as well since these issues started. My symptoms still persist and I get weekly treatment for them and although milder occasionally flare up which leads me to believe that there is an issue with the IOT in my apartment and also noticed that using the non-ionizing fan improved my symptoms briefly when I sit next to it before they worsen again after a brief period of time which leads me to belief that EMF and perhaps electrostatic combined with IR (from my lights in my home) could be impacting my condition and as air gapped as my apartment is, I have to believe it can only be an IOT attack, the dormant qwest/centurylink lines that are not functional for connection or a smart meter related issue that is influencing the electrical outlets and using the sensors of my refrigerator to crank out more EMF/electrostatic or Ferromagnetic waves based on my debugging. The smart meter box/ped cans at my apt complex are loose and there are exposed wiring which has been reported to both the power company (United) and Centurylink but neither have been repaired and the ped cans are loose all over the neighborhood. This is at the Bridge Square Apartments in Brighton, CO with strange IR signals coming from the north parking lot where the smart meter also is. If you read the reviews for this apartment complex online you can see that it looks like several other residents were dealing with mental health issues hear and strange targeting activity which may just be an unfortuitous coincidence as I just moved here in March and my other activity/phenomena was been going on for many years. There is also a business adjacent to that lot which after researching online has ties to testing military technology for large companies whom are aligned with support for a foreign country which I will not name (even anonymously).

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 parent, family member, caregiver, researcher, advocate, concerned member of the public, etc. I have personally been affected by the increase of cell towers and wireless technology negatively. A lot of the time I feel like my breaths are shallow and difficult and many times I feel my concentration is poor after exposure. It affects my sleep negatively as well. I usually take extra precautions such as unplugging the internet at night and taking supplements to calm my nervous system so I can fall asleep more easily. Whenever I use my phone to access the internet, I am more irritable afterwards. I notice when my children are using wireless technology they also become more irritable and not as focused. There are studies that show wireless technology negatively affects the developing brain. It is also known to cause cancer. If we want thriving children in our future then we need to address this issue. I believe more education to the public can provide awareness so parents can make an informed decision. Knowledge on how to mitigate or avoid negative side effects would also be helpful. 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.

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 [patient, parent, family member, caregiver, healthcare professional, researcher, advocate, concerned member of the public, or other]. I am 74 yrs old and live in a retirement community. It's pretty sad when the government agencies that are supposed to protect us grant permission for towers to be built next to homes, schools and businesses without doing their research as to whether they will negatively affect us. I personally have experienced headaches, my neighbors have also had health issues, but because we're senior citizens we are ignored because they feel we get sick anyway, so why worry about wireless radiation, they're going to die anyway. The people running for office don't talk about the towers, probably because they can't do anything about it, I sincerely hope HHS can do something, that they will not look the other way, but actually do something. There are towers everywhere, this must be stopped. I don't know the dates the towers near us were put there, first one, then another, and before you know it, hundreds are everywhere. 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.
