An advocate describes collected reports of RF-related illness, requests recognition of nonthermal effects…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally submit evidence and personal testimony regarding the adverse health and biological effects of radiofrequency (RF) radiation and electromagnetic fields (EMFs), as requested by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). As a long-term advocate and the former founder and owner of a dedicated European platform for individuals affected by electromagnetic radiation (formerly betroffene-elektromagnetische-strahlung.com, recently transitioned in July 2026), I have spent over seven years documenting, analyzing, and consolidating the health complaints of citizens affected by these environmental factors. During this time, our platform was contacted by more than 350 affected individuals from all over the world. Their documented experiences demonstrate that these neurological and physical symptoms constitute a global phenomenon, affecting ordinary citizens worldwide and across borders. In response to the specific categories of your Request for Information (RFI), I submit that the biological impacts of RF exposure are measurable and verifiable. Over years of documentation, the following evidence has been compiled to substantiate these biological effects: 1. Medical and Biological Data: Objective medical reports and RF body-scan analyses showing physiological stress, neurological disruption, and specific biological anomalies corresponding with proximity to high-frequency radiation sources. 2. Technical and Investigative Documentation: Detailed evidence consisting of 2. investigative reports, environmental monitoring, video documentation, and eyewitness testimonies that track the presence of elevated EMF/RF levels and their immediate impact on human health. 3. Historical and Regulatory Context: Corroborating documentation including historical governmental research frameworks (such as legacy documentation regarding neuro-electromagnetic research) and registered public patents demonstrating the established technical capability of high-frequency fields to interact directly with human biological and neurological systems. The compiled documentation strongly suggests that current exposure thresholds do not adequately protect public health from non-thermal, long-term biological effects. The physical toll on citizens includes severe neurological symptoms, sleep disruption, cognitive impairment, and persistent cellular stress. I urge the Department of Health and Human Services and the Administration for a Healthy America to rigorously evaluate these non-thermal biological effects and to integrate the experiences of affected citizens globally into the new public health guidelines. The comprehensive documentation, including medical analyses, technical reports, and investigative material, remains available to support further scientific inquiry by the Please support Representative Anna Paulina Luna’s legislation to fully repeal the USA PATRIOT Act—a long-overdue measure to restore constitutional protections and correct years of unchecked surveillance authority. Since its passage in 2001, the Patriot Act has been used to expand federal surveillance powers far beyond what most Americans ever intended or imagined. While it was sold as a tool for counterterrorism, it has since enabled broad, secretive programs that collect information on Americans without warrants, eroding our Fourth Amendment rights. Representative Luna’s bill, the American Privacy Restoration Act, H.R. Bill 3245, would repeal these overreaching provisions and return our laws to a more balanced framework—where privacy is not sacrificed in the name of blanket security. Though rarely acknowledged publicly, many citizens feel they have been subject to intrusive monitoring, blacklisting, or other surveillance-related harms without due process. While not every case is easily verified, the very existence of laws that allow this kind of unchecked access only heightens that fear. Repealing the Patriot Act would help restore public confidence that government power is being used responsibly and constitutionally—and that not individual is subject to undue targeting without oversight and lawful justification. This is not a partisan issue—it is an American one. Protecting the rights of all citizens, especially when those rights are unpopular or inconvenient, is what distinguishes a free society. I ask that you support this vital legislation and stand up for the rights, dignity, and freedoms of the people you represent.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Grok has found these health experiences, a couple of them are comments to deleted posts that I kept in as they were of interest. In #2 for example a person described a mushroom mildened their EMF sensitivity. HHS-OASH-2026-0397, health experiences found on Reddit. 1. A new Wi-Fi repeater caused headache and dizziness.

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. We all want EXPEDITED TRUE SFETY STUDIES completed and the results to be taken seriously and acted upon accordingly. We are electrical beings. Going from an area of lower quantity frequencies to area of higher and constant frequencies and be felt physically. Personal results are arthritis and stinging sensations in my extremities, a large decrease in deep sleep, and brain fog/forgetfulness. Study the actual prologues long-term exposure upon our physiology (rather than basing safety on behavior changes in 5 primates after short term on time exposure).

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Please further study the effects of radiation on humans, animals and the environment. We desperately need a thorough investigation before there is any consideration of 6G. Californian firefighters were able to get cell towers permanently banned from being placed on fire stations due to the negative health consequences suffered from them. School children and all other Americans deserve the same care and treatment.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
To those individuals functioning at HHS: We need more stringent RF radiation exposure standards in the United States. There is a great deal of evidence of harmful biological effects spanning many decades that have been reported in peer reviewed, published, scientific journals. Some of these harmful biological effects are: sleep disruption, headaches, disruption of cell membrane channels, DNA damage, disruptions to heart functioning, leakage of the blood-brain barrier, increased risk of cancer, oxidative stress, anxiety, behavioral disruptions, memory loss, and decreased fertility. There are also anecdotal reports of fatigue, feelings of pressure in the head, nosebleeds, hair loss, ringing in the ears, nausea and ‘brain fog' after exposure to wireless radiation. The subject is complex and it requires a thoughtful and precautionary approach. It is very important to understand that radiation exposure guidelines have been declared inadequate by numerous scientists and medical doctors, especially because they were written with adults in mind and not for children. Our children are being exposed to unprecedented, unevaluated, unregulated levels of microwave radiation without complete study, without proper discussion, and without informed consent. I urge the individuals at HHS to rely on appropriate health and biological expertise and to create better policies focused on precaution and guidelines that adequately protect the public. The burden of proof lies with those who promote the technology. Rather than asking concerned citizens to prove that RF radiation is harmful, the ones who promote the technology, and those who benefit financially from the technology, need to prove RF radiation is safe. This issue matters to me personally because I get heart palpations and earaches. My husband also experiences ill health and disrupted sleep with exposure. I urge the HHS to give meaningful consideration to the experiences and evidence before it and to fully address each of the issues. I enclose for the record a report of evidence of biological harm from RF exposure. This report, written and compiled by Martin L. Pall, PhD, (Professor Emeritus of Biochemistry and Basic Medical Sciences, Washington State University) is: 5G Risk: The Scientific Perspective Compelling Evidence for Eight Distinct Types of Great Harm Caused by Electromagnetic Field (EMF) Exposures and the Mechanism that Causes Them Sincerely, Judith Story

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
At 22 years old, I was diagnosed with a skull based Meningioma behind my right ear. I was studying in the university library when my left ear bud fell out of my ear and I couldn’t hear music in my right ear. My life would soon change forever. I first found out I was deaf in my right ear and then after an MRI showed a meningioma. I received a cell phone for my 13th birthday and the location of the Meningioma seemed to line up. We always wondered if it caused my brain tumor. It was extremely rare for a 22 year old to get that type of tumor, and rare that it was hard and sticky. This caused me to lose function of the right side of my body. I had to learn to walk again, read again, word finding and speech was difficult. I still managed to graduate college, and after 6 months of therapy, I went to graduate school and became a mental health therapist. At 34 I was pregnant with my first child, which most likely caused it to grow again. I am about to have a second surgery, and pray it goes better than the first. I also pray I can safely carry another pregnancy. More research needs done to ensure safety.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Over 6,000 studies have shown biological effects of wireless radiation and we desperately need to shift control to the public to weigh the benefits and risks of this technology. Section 704 of the Wireless Radiation Act is not serving the public. I am worried about the effects of new technologies on myself and my family. Please put in place some common sense legislation around these new and impactful technologies before there is irreversible damage.

The commenter urges HHS to adopt biologically based exposure limits, end time averaging for pulses, and p…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
HHS should regulate EMF radiation and establish biologically sound limits for exposure. HHS has a mission to protect and support human health. The FCC has no such mission. Its mission is to proliferate EMF radiation, and it does. At this time the FCC regulates EMF exposure according to its mission: It sets limits which do not protect human health, but proliferate EMF exposure. HHS should step in and do its job. The is a huge difference between voluntary and involuntary exposure. Involuntary exposure is criminal battery and should not be allowed at all. There should be a way to opt out of involuntary exposure, especially from Smart Meters, but also from non-consensual transmitter siting. All involuntary exposure should be kept at a distance of at least one mile, in order to avert claims of battery. The most urgent issue is Smart Meters and the Smart Grid, an extremely harmful involuntary exposure. The opposition to Smart Meters is fierce and vocal. Smart Meters have caused the most serious injuries, killing people, permanently debilitating them, and forcing them out of their own homes. Smart Meters regularly emit a millisecond pulse, which the FCC allows at 1.8 million times over the FCC limit. This is because the FCC averages the exposure over 30 minutes, even though the next pulse is often less than 30 minutes away. (30 minutes x 60 seconds x 1,000 milliseconds = 1,800,000) A shorter pulse would allow even greater exposure. In this way, the FCC has essentially created an exception for pulsed radiation, The first coarse of action for HHS is to eliminate the 30 minute averaging for pulsed radiation, and require that it comply with existing limits. The Smart Grid would have to be dismantled and replaced with the safe analog grid that performed flawlessly for almost a century. The next step is to eliminate all involuntary exposure, which violates the Constitution, the law, and human rights. The third step is to establish biologically-based limits for voluntary exposure. The attached files include scientific and legal documents which show that involuntary EMF exposure is both harmful and illegal. The case involves Smart Meters which forced people out of their homes, killed their loved ones and pets, and caused permanent injury. No court has ruled on the issues raised because the defendants bribed the clerks and ensured that no judge ever saw the documents. EMF exposure is rife with corruption because the stakes are so high for the billionaire class and the multi-trillion dollar industry. HHS should make its own ruling.
