Research & federal duties

here's a draft — paste-ready for the docket (comments are public on regulations.gov, so your name shows unless you submit without it): ----- To: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Re: Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure — Docket HHS-OASH-2026-0397 My name is Brandon Parncutt. I live in York, Pennsylvania, and I'm writing as a member of the public, not a scientist or an industry representative. For most of my life I have experienced what is commonly called the targeted individual phenomenon — a pattern of harassment and physical symptoms that I believe is connected to directed RF/EMF exposure. I understand this experience is hard to verify from the outside. I'm not asking HHS to take my word for any of it. I'm asking for serious, independent research, because right now people like me are left completely on our own. I spend my own limited income on basic mitigation — ferrite cable clamps, shielding materials, EMF meters — with no official guidance on whether any of it helps, because there is no research base to draw on. A few specific points for this RFI: 1. The current U.S. exposure limits still rest on the FCC's 1996 thermal-only framework. Many other countries — Italy, Switzerland, Russia, and China among them — enforce limits far stricter than ours. HHS should publish an honest comparison of these standards and explain, in plain language, why Americans are assumed safe at exposure levels other governments reject. 2. Non-thermal and long-term low-level effects remain a genuine research gap. Most funded studies are short-term and many are industry-funded. We need long-term, independently funded research, including studies of people who report sensitivity and symptoms, studied respectfully as patients rather than dismissed. 3. Real-world exposure is not tracked. Wireless infrastructure keeps expanding — small cells, Wi-Fi saturation in schools and apartment buildings — with no public monitoring of cumulative exposure levels. A public, transparent exposure-monitoring effort would let the science follow actual conditions instead of laboratory assumptions. 4. Vulnerable populations, including children, deserve particular attention, consistent with the Department's stated emphasis in this RFI. I support this inquiry and hope it leads to updated, evidence-based standards rather than another decade of the same unanswered questions. Thank you for the opportunity to comment.

I strongly support the HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. My symptoms with wireless are mild and manageable. Primarily, holding my cell phone in my hand for more than 5 minutes cause significant paresthesia and the longer I hold my phone, the worse it gets. My symptoms resolve if I don't hold my phone. It is definitely not positional or an issue of nerve entrapment such as carpal tunnel syndrome. My main concern are the Americans who are experiencing debilitating effects such that they can barely engage with the world. I have a close friend who is effected, and I have seen her symptoms that almost mimic a stroke or neurologic condition when she's exposed to wireless radiation environments. She is simply gaslighted when she tries to get anyone to listen to her concerns. We need to be cautious and thoroughly consider the potential danger to humans. 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 commenting on the request for public comment on EMF, RF and Wireless radiation exposure. I would like to see transparency of industry detailing the frequencies being emitted from their equipment. I became hypersensitive to electromagnetic exposure after smart meters were installed by the electric company. At first I was dizzy queazy. I started vibrating indoors and out in 2012. There was a cell tower nearby and also a digital over the air fee tv signal coming into my house. No cable or wifi in this house. After some research I thought the low frequency 3-4 hz vibration could be from the smart meter modem motor. The electric company denied any connection between their equipment and my symptoms. I also have tinnitus which I have always known was RF. I was hit and felt attacked by a low frequency pulse for three hours at a time that was definitely a beating and I cried the entire time. When I laid down at night I felt like I was on top of a running truck engine and broke out in shingles. I had crawling sensations all over my body. I visited a grocery store and felt like my internal organs were being knocked around. It was extremely frightening. I experienced static in my head that felt like bacon sizzling in a pan. My body’s electrical system has been altered. I feel wifi and when 5G came online I got hit with frequency bullets that caused my brain to vibrate. So the known science about RF affecting our physical chemistry and our body’s electrical sytem is being ignored. Why do we have no rights to question and protest our inescapable exposure to RF and why isn’t there a database where we can register our personal testimonies. I feel tortured and the doctors can only prescribe drugs to help keep me calm. And what about the SINE Wave? Is it being distorted and emitting harmonics that are affecting us? Who is measuring these affects with instruments that would inform us? I have fatigue, brain fog and random pains all over my body. I hear a high pitched whine. The vibrating I experience is more pronounced since my cable company installed all new equipment in my apartment. I can see my neighbors WIFI ID on my phone so I’m exposed to that too. I forgot to mention I had heart palpitations in the beginning and went to the ER fearing a heart attack. When trying to rest at night I am helped by prescription drugs for a few hours. Why can’t we sign up to a registry with such accounts. And shame on the Government telling doctors they may not diagnose Havana Syndrome for civilians!

I currently life in a residence in line of sitecto 4g, 5g and medical emergency antwnna arrays atop the Kerchikan medical center. It was lowered there a few years ago by military type helicopter. another high telecommunications tower looms across the hoadley creek and on a prominence. My duplex also comes with 2 smart meters and besides wired ethernet thecother rwntal chooses mesh wifi around the clock. we also use copper landline, as it is sluced into the kpu fiber optic unit on the outside. I have informed kpu by mail of my health concern for there forcing a 5g tower upon the neighborhood. please perform a full review of detrimental non native electrical environment that compromises mitochondrial health on a quantum rather than chemical level. research is coming out that implicates cell towers wifis and smart meters with impaired circadian compliance. thank you

To the Department of Health and Human Services: Self Monitoring Analysis Reporting Technology As a residential homeowner, I am submitting this formal public comment in response to the Request for Information (Docket ID: HHS-OASH-2026-039) regarding human exposures to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields (RF-EMF). While federal safety standards often assume a uniform, generalized environment, the deployment of wireless smart meters directly onto residential walls introduces acute, pulsed, and continuous RF-EMF radiation into domestic living spaces. This comment addresses four critical components of harm resulting from mandatory utility smart meters: Health, Surveillance, Cost Overcharges with Opt-Out Fees, and Cyber Security. 1. Severe and Adverse Health Outcomes (Pulsed RF-EMF Radiation) Unlike cellular phones which can be powered off or placed at a distance, utility smart meters are permanently mounted to residential structures and emit high-intensity, short-duration pulses of RF radiation 24 hours a day. As reported by National health organizations, proximity to this localized radiation field has severely degraded health and quality of life, manifesting in the following documented symptoms: • Ringing in the Ears (Tinnitus): The installation of wireless smart meters corresponds with the onset of constant, high-pitched ringing and inner-ear pressure. This neurological and auditory distress persists within the home, making it impossible to find an environment free of sensory disturbance. • Disrupted Sleep and Insomnia: The continuous, erratic pulsing of the meter directly interferes with natural sleep architecture. Individuals often experience profound sleep disruption, including difficulty falling asleep, frequent nighttime awakenings, and a total loss of restorative REM sleep, leading to chronic daytime exhaustion. • Severe Headaches and Neurological Pain: Some people can experience persistent, throbbing headaches and localized neurological pressure that directly correlates with time spent inside my home. These symptoms alleviate noticeably only when traveling away from mesh-networked utility infrastructure. The cumulative biological stress of this involuntary exposure cannot be understated. HHS must establish realistic biological safety limits that account for non-thermal, pulsed, long-term residential exposures. 2. Unwarranted Domestic Surveillance and Privacy Intrusion Smart meters log electrical consumption data at granular, high-frequency intervals (often every 5 to 15 minutes). This detailed load profiling allows utilities and potentially third parties to reconstruct intimate household routines, identifying exactly when occupants wake, cook, use specific appliances, or sleep. This continuous tracking represents an unprecedented invasion of domestic privacy, turning a basic public utility into an intrusive surveillance mechanism within my own home. 3. Fabricated Cost Overcharges and Punitive Opt-Out Fees Following the deployment of digital smart meters, countless homeowners experience sudden, unexplained spikes in utility billing despite no change in actual consumption habits. Furthermore, consumers who attempt to protect their health and privacy by refusing these wireless devices are subjected to punitive 'opt-out' penalties. Homeowners are forced to choose between paying ongoing monthly fines or accepting an unwanted, radiation-emitting device attached to their personal property. 4. Vulnerable Cyber Security and Grid Infrastructure Wireless smart meters connect homes via decentralized mesh networks, creating millions of exposed endpoints across the national energy grid. This architectural vulnerability presents a severe cyber security risk. Sophisticated actors or malware can exploit these wireless connections to remotely disconnect power to individual homes, manipulate billing systems, or compromise the safety and stability of the entire regional electrical grid. Conclusion and Requested Actions The mandatory or coercive installation of pulsed RF-EMF smart meters places an unfair and hazardous burden on residential homeowners. The Department of Health and Human Services must intervene to protect public health by validating these documented symptoms, protecting privacy rights, and recommending a federally protected right to a wired, analog, or non-wireless utility infrastructure without financial penalty. Requested Actions: • Conduct a comprehensive, independent epidemiological review of chronic, non-ionizing, pulsed RF radiation from smart meters, focusing heavily on children's health. • Coordinate with state and federal utility regulators to eliminate financial penalties (opt-out fees) for homeowners opting for non-wireless utility alternatives. • Update national safety guidelines to reflect non-thermal biological impacts rather than relying solely on outdated heating-based safety thresholds.

Finally! Europe has been studying this exposure for years. The new Apple product had a higher radiation rate and only after the threat of not allowing their products to be used there, they ended up throttling the waves. Curious right? Now we have appliances sending out signals every minutes 24 hours a day, even if you ‘opt out’ which even after you do, once connected, it’s still sending a signal out looking for a connection. Why would I want a stove to have an app or need to remotely access it? The lights in our neighborhood send wireless signals, the endless home routers, TV’s, the power company meter (you can pay to opt out), cellular, 5G…. All pinging waves 24/7 without our consent or any CURRENT metrics or studies to see what effects it all has on our body cellular health. Even if we go DUMB in our home, as I’ve noted some of the waves around my house, we essentially have no way to opt out. It very well could be contributing to our countries unwellness and cellular foods and die off. It bothers me that Europe is ahead of this. Europe! Certainty we have more resources and moxie than Europe!

I have been tortured with Directed Energy Weapons since 2010.These are Lethal. Stop saying they are non-lethal.I have 3 brain tumors,one excised the other two are inoperable.I lost sight in one eye.Able to restore.I have severe pain in both legs barely able to walk,Rotator cuff torn, fragmented bones and 3 tears to shoulder. Thrown to ground with Crowd Control weapons,fractured Fibula, Tibia, Malleolus lateral and medial. Ocala Fl should be under severe investigation for severe criminal behavior here. Been trafficked since 2011 Agents and police involved.Shut down this Watch List program NOW Mr.President. Many,many innocent people being severely tortured here in USA.Smear campaigns destroying relations with our family and with neighbors and church members.I am a female born and raised in USA,a two-time enlistee in the USA military and I am an Ordained Minister of God Almighty.These criminals need to be placed in GITMO. They like to torture, let them be tortured.No due process.No idea why I am on this list.Many set ups so evil,so wicked,so false.Many people I associate with are not terrorist. They are beautiful citizens,law abiding.These thugs are Hamas and Hezbollah dressed in American skin.Stop this criminal behavior now. Shut down this Deep State immediately.This is NOT Russia or China.Set up a task force, listen to those being tortured.We can supply you with names of these criminals.We do not need all these agencies NSA; FBI; DHS, CIA Mind-control hackers;all these Task Forces, Handlers,newly appointed Targeting Officers who are hired to ruin innocent people's lives. Look up Terry Albury's "I have ruined people's lives" a former FBI Agent.Many women on these Watch Lists are being raped and trafficked.Age is NO barrier for being raped or trafficked.These are the most vile, evil beings known to man. Here in Ocala I have been raped, trafficked, tortured with weapons daily. Furniture severely marred. Jewelry stolen. If this was happening to an animal, it would be all over the news.Please Congressman, Senators, decent police listen to us and stop this abuse of power immediately. Watch "Do Not Resist" a documentary about police obtaining military-grade weapons from the military with no record, no accountability, no reason for these weapons.Speak to Senator Rand Paul who seems to be aware of what truly is happening here in America and Senator Josh Hawley, Lt. Col. Egrin. Seek truth not lies. Much defamation of our good character; lies; slander; betrayals; fabrications; set ups. Please hear our cry for help!!!!!

Please do the safety studies on EMF, RF, and wireless radiation exposure. During the crazy time between 2020 and now, radio towers were and are continually being built all around my town and looks to be across the country. Since those towers went up, I have experience what feels like shocks to my body. This is not right.

I have had tinnitus ever since the rollout of 5G in Albuquerque, NM. In late 2021 temporally a multi story apartment complex some 400 feet from my home began multiple.arrays and it has continued. City Environmental Health did no pre and post EMF tests. I would like to see, before the next wave of 6 G rollouts that there is pre tower and post emf testing 360 degrees for at least 1000 feet. IMO this electromagnetic spectrum is a physical trespass already with 5G already causing a life damage stressing me out. On another related topic the tinnitus I experience seems way less when I am out of tower range in national forests, remote BLM lands, wilderness areas and national parks. Please keep them out so we have some sort of baseline. We have options to this tech rollout with wire fiberoptics to end user. When that is done no 5G nor 6G should be allowed on local poles as mini cells. Especially not liking that smart meter rollouts that is being done by force with keeping an analog meter system being penalized. In my case about $18 for the "service retention fee" and almost $10 a month for reading the existing meter. There has to be some way too of examining the electric smart meter exposure. My bed is less than 15 feet from the proposed replacement smart meter. Will it exacerbate my tinnitus? I don't know of any long or short term data available but researchers have noted impacts. May I also ask that DHHS convene a meeting of international researchers on this topic. Havas M. Radiation from wireless technology affects the blood, heart, and the autonomic nervous system.

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 support HHS taking an active role in examining the potential health and environmental effects of wireless radiation. I have personally felt the effects and am concerned about the impact such radiation is having on everyone, especially the children. It is very concerning to see the towers right next to schools, (especially the one disguise as a tree, right by my kids school - "Jeronimo Open Space/ Mission Viejo, CA") playgrounds, and homes when we don't understand the long term effects of such exposure. 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. We don't need these "data centers". HHS please 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.
