Discusses Havana syndrome and alleged tower-based attacks and surveillance. Requests technical audits, me…

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. Wireless radiation has affected me as undiagnosed civilian of Havana syndrome. Duration of the exposure includes 5 or more consecutive years of health effects experienced, beginning in 2020. Reducing exposure made no difference because of the nature of what I believe to be AI based technology streamed through the hardware level of cell towers. These experiences have affected daily life because weaponized pulsed rf is a serious advanced persistent threat. As an rf engineer it is my belief the HHS should address this issue because the protocols are based on a global trust system leaving the towers open to SS7 hacking and security vulnerabilities leaving bad actors access. The towers need to be converted to a zero trust based system and the power levels and frequency waveforms need to be monitored for civilian safety. AI can easily use the hardware or ORAN stack right now as pulsed microwave imaging weapons along with neural decoding and neuroweapon misuse as it stands. The "Device" brought forth as the cause of havana syndrome is a false flag and the cell towers are the actual culprit. It is my belief that human experimentation of an unknown actor is using the ORAN stack layer in combination with cloud services streaming AI deep learning hybrid neural nets or a neuroweapon platform to do weapons testing on the public. The system from my observation injects a clocking signal into the victims environment and measure dielectric shifts of the brain and uses neural decoded feedback to read and decode the victims brain. The neural decoded feedback is also used to torture the victim. The cloud based architecture allows the bad actor to access any cell tower globally and continue the threat. It is my observation that the servers of this neuroweapon platform have a .999999 uptime, or in other words it does not cease to operate. There have been several whistleblowers including Dr. Robert Duncan former DARPA contractor trying to educate the public of this ongoing threat. Dr. John Hall is also an expert on the subject that experienced this technology first hand. Along with Dr. Len Ber who advocates for civilians experiencing this technology currently. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. I support HHS taking an active role in examining the use of ORAN stack hardware and auditing cell towers and their vulnerabilities to bad actors. 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.

Discusses household electrical devices, smart meters and router use and reports perceived changes in an e…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
House smart meters are bringing wireless radiation into our homes through the electricity. I’m currently having to replace an electric reclining couch with a manual couch because of emf radiation affecting our health. We time off our router at night as well because that was a blocker to sleeping and healing. You can feel the difference in a home when you block these waves. I care for my 92 year old mother who was diagnosed either Alzheimer’s. There is a big difference in her behavior after placing a usb blocker in the outlet closest to where the smart meter is on our home and turning off the electricity to the couch she sits in often. There’s no doubt that the big poles everywhere are emitting radiation that interfere with healthy human function. It definitely needs to be tested.

Requests health research and protections for people reporting EMR-related illness. Describes housing and …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Studying the health effects of wireless (RF) radiation when so many people have complained that they experience health problems after a smart meter was installed at their home or a wireless antenna went up near their place (let alone against their will) should just be common sense. I as a concerned citizen find it scary that wireless technologies are proliferating rapidly yet the health effects of them are not being addressed by appropriate authorities. My family members all insist on using their cell phones and WiFi devices in close proximity to me, every group home where they house people with disabilities (some of which RF radiation may have caused their disabilities) I have been in has WiFi and does not offer cable/ethernet internet access in the residents’ bedrooms. One group home I looked into even keeps the WiFi router for the entire house in a resident’s bedroom! Please step up to the plate and study the health effects of RF radiation. Then adopt “best practices” rules for the placement of infrastructure that produces RF radiation to balance the need for the public to have access to communications and communication devices with the need to keep our exposure to RF radiation to the minimum levels necessary and to protect people with EMR syndrome. Thank you for your time and attention to this issue.

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. 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.

Criticizes existing exposure standards, industry influence and the response to the FCC court remand. Requ…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
No safety studies have been done on 5G and cell phone science has many parallels to tobacco science. Studies paid for by industry are unlikely to find any evidence of hazard while research funded from independent sources are much more likely to find evidence of harm. Insurance companies are aware of the true EMF risks and refuse coverage to the wireless industry. The FCC is considered to be a captured agency by Harvard ethicists with prior commissioners having strong ties to industry. For that reason, the agency grants the telecom companies whatever they want in terms of expansion of wireless systems without addressing significant safety concerns. The FDA and EPA which could have a role in regulating health and environmental impacts are also captured. EMF hazards also cause harm to trees, birds, bees, and other insects. A 2021 lawsuit against the FCC was won by Children’s Health Defense and the Environmental Health Trust. The U.S. Court of Appeals ruled the FCC’s 2019 decision that its 1996 guidelines adequately protect the public from non-cancer harms from 5G and wireless-based technologies was capricious, arbitrary and not evidence-based. Unfortunately, the FCC has ignored the court’s mandate and has not updated its safety guidelines. Please take action to update these standards immediately.

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, healthcare professional and a concerned member of the public . PERSONALIZE YOUR COMMENT HERE: For me, reducing exposure made a difference in my headaches and brain fog. I also think every state..to include Colorado, needs to have an opt out program for every homeowner who would like to opt ot of a smart meter in their home. I have tried and tried and CO won't budge where I live. I should be able to opt out of radiating my bedroom (which is on the other side).  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, families, health care providers, researchers and scientists with an opportunity to be finally be heard on this critical public health issue

Describes substantial work, family, housing and travel difficulties alongside migraines, fatigue, tinnitu…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Questions 2–3: Experience I work in IT/marketing technology and coach youth/high school sports. My symptoms have included migraines, facial tingling, confusion, slowed processing, debilitating fatigue, anxiety, blurred vision, tinnitus, lost sleep, nosebleeds, and involuntary muscle and eye twitching. I report symptoms around TriMeter RF readings of about 1 mW/m² and aim for below 0.5 mW/m² at home. EMF-associated episodes feel similar to entering a moldy building. My nervous system feels under constant attack, unable to distinguish biotoxin illness, allergies, and EMF. This describes my experience, not a confirmed mechanism. I feel persistent reactivity impedes recovery. For over a decade, I worked/slept 5–10 feet from a Wi-Fi router. I suspect prolonged exposure, mold/mycotoxin illness, or possible Bartonella/Mycoplasma infections contributed. These are hypotheses based on thoughtful reflection. Dr. Neil Nathan’s book and online research eventually led me to RF/EMF meters. An environmental illness/biotoxin physician told me he lacked expertise here. Impacts: • Employment: Finding work from a wired home office is difficult; many jobs require office attendance. Symptoms in wireless-heavy offices challenge my ability to earn income. I have struggled to find a clear diagnostic pathway and documentation for disability recognition, accommodations, or support. • Coaching: Symptoms impair quick decisions and emotional regulation. Some parks, schools, and stadiums host antennas [5–6]. I cannot relocate events. • Transportation: Cars are my worst environments. Cell phones, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and vehicle electronics concern me. Some planes, buses, and trains offer Wi-Fi, plus cellular transmissions where permitted. • Relationships: Family and friends sometimes disregard device boundaries. Some have called me “crazy,” adding conflict and isolation. • Housing: Avoiding nearby towers and neighboring apartment Wi-Fi, building a wired home, and finding appliances without wireless transmitters have been difficult. • Daily life: Wi-Fi in stores, malls, hotels, and offices feels ubiquitous. • Hospitals: Extensive Wi-Fi coverage makes hospitals particularly difficult for me. Caring for my parents at the end of their lives was harder because of symptoms I experienced there. I fear being hospitalized without a tolerable environment or accommodations. Questions 9, 11, 15: Children/accountability My children have experienced illness we associate with mold/mycotoxin exposure. I worry about classroom exposures and possible susceptibility from preexisting illness. Provide independent measurements near schools/homes, including towers a few hundred yards away. Proximity alone does not establish excessive exposure. Municipal responses assigning monitoring to carriers leave accountability unclear. Clarify carrier duties, FCC oversight, local roles, and complaints [7]. Approving towers as routine infrastructure without a public vote concerns me. Please ensure advance notice, accessible plans, meaningful public comment, and transparent decisions. If a nearby line-of-sight tower made symptoms unmanageable, I might need to uproot my family. I fear tolerable urban/suburban housing will become harder to find. Moving cannot prevent new towers. Question 16: Research Study sleep, cognition, emotional regulation, and mental health, especially in young people. Reports linking rage or suicidal thoughts to EMF symptoms concern me but do not prove causation or explain school violence. Distinguish exposure effects from pain, sleep loss, isolation, device use, and other factors. Assess vehicle RF alongside magnetic fields from electrical systems, fan motors, and rotating magnetized tire belts [1]. Reflections can create localized RF hotspots; vehicle bodies alter absorption patterns [2–3]. Investigate mold interactions. Ahmad et al. reported increased and decreased fungal growth and aflatoxin production under static magnetic fields [4]. Prioritize research, respectful care, transmitter disclosure, wireless shutoffs, wired alternatives, and workplace/hospital accommodations.

Discusses older research on weak electromagnetic fields, calcium signaling and immune-cell activity. Rais…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
This is to submit this series of article in the New Yorker called "Annals of Radiation" I will paste an excerpt here from the second article and a link https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1989/06/19/the-hazards-of-electromagnetic-fields-ii-something-is-happening excerpt: Meanwhile, Adey was pushing on with research aimed at finding out how weak electromagnetic fields might trigger amplified changes in brain chemistry. Since his earlier work with Leonard K. Kaczmarek, a biochemist, on calcium ions had suggested that highly non-linear effects must be involved—effects that would allow large releases of chemical energy to be triggered by tiny stimuli—he now proposed a three-stage model based upon the amplification of weak cell-surface events. In the first stage, the cell membrane senses the arrival of a weak field and reacts to it by initiating, in domino fashion, a release of calcium bound to the protein strands that protrude from the membrane surface. (Because of the domino effect, the energy released by the altered calcium binding is far greater than that of the initiating chemical or electric triggers.) In the second stage, this released energy is transmitted, in the form of signals that travel along the protein strands, to the interior of the cell. In the third stage, the cell interior reacts to the arriving signal by stimulating or inhibiting intracellular enzymes—protein molecules that act as chemical catalysts. During 1981 and 1982, Adey and Daniel B. Lyle, a research immunologist at the University of California, Riverside, together with two associates, demonstrated that the PAVE PAWS carrier frequency of 450 MHz modulated at the electrical-distribution-system frequency of sixty hertz could significantly suppress the ability of cultured T-lymphocyte cells from mice to kill cultured cancer cells; and when the four researchers published their findings in the journal Bioelectromagnetics, in 1983, they noted that progressively smaller suppression occurred when the microwave radiation was modulated at forty, sixteen, and three hertz. These findings had possibly serious implications, of course—not only for the tens of thousands of people living close to PAVE PAWS but also for the tens of millions of people living in the vicinity of power lines and electrical-distribution wires. Indeed, when Lyle later repeated the study, using simulated sixty-hertz high-voltage power-line fields, he again observed a large suppression of the killing capacity of T-lymphocyte cells—a chilling finding in the context of the 1979 study by the epidemiologist Nancy Wertheimer and the physicist Ed Leeper which found an increased incidence of cancer in children in the Greater Denver area who had been exposed to low-level magnetic fields from high-current electrical-distribution wires. The results of a study that was performed in 1983 by Craig V. Byus, an assistant professor of biomedical sciences and biochemistry in the Department of Biochemistry of the University of California, Riverside, together with Adey and two researchers from Byus’s department, gave cause for further concern about the future well-being of the inhabitants of Upper Cape Cod. Byus and his colleagues exposed cultures of human-tonsil lymphocytes for periods of up to sixty minutes to low level 450 MHz radiation modulated at ELF frequencies ranging from three to a hundred hertz. They found that the activity of certain protein-kinase enzymes within the lymphocyte cells was sharply reduced when the microwave field was modulated at certain frequencies between sixteen and sixty hertz. Because the effect upon the activity of the protein kinase was transient, Byus and Adey were cautious in their assessment of it when they and their associates published their findings, in Bioelectromagnetics, in 1984. They warned, however, that their observations regarding the effects of ELF-modulated radiation on human-tonsil lymphocytes, together with the findings of the earlier mouse-lymphocyte study, required additional and careful assessment. On August 18, 1984, the Cape Cod Times published a front-page article about the final results of Guy and Chou’s study. It started out by saying, “A five-year study on the long-term effects of low levels of microwave radiation has sparked a new debate over the safety of the Air Force’s PAVE PAWS microwave radar station in Bourne.” The article went on to quote Ruth Hubbard, the Harvard biology professor whose affidavit warning of the dangers of PAVE PAWS radiation had been dismissed as irrelevant five years earlier by Federal District Judge Tauro.<snip>

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
See attached file(s) - I am a working Certified Building Biology Electromagnetic Radiation Specialist. My primary focus is identifying and reducing electromagnetic radiation in homes and workplaces—including radiofrequency (RF) radiation, AC electric fields, AC magnetic fields, and dirty electricity. My background in electrical engineering and computer science, combined with my professional Building Biology training, gives me a technical and practical approach to finding sources of EMF/RF exposure and helping clients determine what can reasonably be done to reduce them. During more than 100 residential environmental assessments that I have performed, I've frequently been asked whether there are any studies demonstrating biological effects from non-ionizing ULF or RFR over-exposure. Over the last 2 years I am seeing an increase in the number of my clients that are experiencing (often) painful symptoms that are related to their increase exposure to non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation. Rather than tell you their stories, I have created a document clearly showing in an easy to understand way that current peer reviewed research has proven the impact of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation on peoples well being as well as the environment. I have also included in the attached document a comparison for four different health issues of the number and percent of peer-reviewed studies worldwide showing these effects versus ones showing no effect.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Vineyards Elementary School in Naples, Florida, was built and opened in 1989 The large cell towers located on or adjacent to the Vineyards Elementary School campus in Naples, Florida, were constructed in 2011. Please, check the medical records for cancer of everyone who attended Vineyards Elementary School, taking years of attendance in to consideration and if they attended prior to the introduction of the cell towers. In addition, compare a random sample of people who live in the same area but did not attend Vineyards Elementary School. It is probable that there are other situations like this at other schools around the country.
