Research & federal duties

In 2010, when we were living in a 3g-4g world, I built a small 10x10 home office in a nook off my bedroom to do life coaching, writing, webinars, and interviews. Like many home offices, I had this tiny refuge filled with electronics such as dual monitors, desktop, Dect phone, wireless printer, cell phone, and WiFi router. Basically, I was in the office at least 6 to 8 hours/day and sleeping only 10 to 15 feet away from my office. In 2013 I started feeling extreme fatigue, headaches, brain fog, lethargy, aches/pains in the joints and pain all over my body. I would also get numbness in my hands when I would hold the cell phone. I have always been very healthy and never experienced these symptoms on a daily basis before. I started talking to people about my conditions and I met someone who told me my office was filled with EMF radiation and I should start shielding and protecting myself and my family. Once I started doing as she suggested I started feeling better and I was very thankful. Many of my symptoms went away except for my painful joints and numbness. I realized I had EHS so I started being very aware of my daily habits of using electronics wherever I would go. I did the best I could while eating healthier and adjusting my vitamins. Finally, in the beginning of April 2021, I started getting very bad symptoms. My brain fog heightened and I started having dexterity problems in my right hand. It got so bad I couldn't hold a pen or fork and my right leg started dragging a bit. When I admitted myself to the emergency room I was diagnosed with a very large brain tumor. The hospital admitted me right away and into surgery I went. When I came out I found out that I had a 6 cm stage 2 meningioma brain tumor because the biopsy report said that it grew at an 18% growth rate. When you do the math, that means it started growing in 2011 One year after I built my office! Most women get a stage 1 meningioma which grows VERY SLOW and from what I found out usually people who get this type of tumor are men over 60 (predominantly black men) and people surrounded by a lot of radiation. Unbeknownst to me I literally created a microwave oven in my office that I worked in and slept in day and night. Luckily, I am here to talk about this today. My surgeon told me that the tumor was extremely large and if I would have waited much longer the damage would have been severe and irreversible. I thank my lucky stars that I am here to talk about this today and help others when they hear my story. I have been speaking about both of our stories for over 11 years now and have built a small business around technology protection and awareness. Unfortunately, my first husband passed away at the age of 32 leaving me with my 1 year old son. Why is this important? Because he died of a Glioblastoma brain tumor and he was an electrician and I did find a study back in the 90's where electricians had the highest rate of Glio's than any other occupation and that was BEFORE we were surrounded by electronics and wireless tech everywhere. Sadly he is not here to tell his story so I am here to share both of ours. The citizens of the world are fooled because there is NOT enough studies and information to stop the biological damage and death that is being caused from our electronics and Wifi. Something must be done and the lies must stop in this trillion-dollar business because it is truly biological warfare and we must have due diligence with complete and proper studies so we can be protected as well as studies on electrical cars.

As a Doctor who has been injured from radiofrequency radiation, I have a sincere interest in new, updated regulations of HHS and the FCC to protect all living things from the known biological harm of RFR. Since 2018, living near a cell tower, sleeping close to a smart meter and having a wifi router from a neighbor within 10 feet of my sleeping space, I have had neurological harm. Since then, when I'm near a wifi router or another person's phone or smart watch, I get burning pain on my skin in the area closest to the pulse-modulated RF radiation. I also get severe fatigue, brain fog, a pressure headache, and the next days to weeks I feel "hungover" from the exposure. It makes normal functioning very difficult. When I sleep next to someone with a smart watch on or sleep in a house/hotel with wifi on, my sleep is very poor- I wake up many times and have trouble falling asleep. When I sleep at home with our wifi router turned off and phones off, I wake up much more rested and do not wake up in the middle of the night. I fear for my young daughter and unborn baby, since research shows their brains absorb much more radiofrequency radiation, and it is pervasive in classrooms, places of worship, as well as playgrounds. I am calling for more research on the biological harms from radiofrequency radiation, particularly pulse-modulated RF radiation. As more cell towers proliferate and new bands of frequency are being used, there needs to be a halt to all new infrastructure until solid research has been done to investigate the impacts on living beings- humans, flora and fauna. The current FCC guideline is based on an antiquated study from 30 years ago. Telecommunications have changed drastically over that time period, so that is now irrelevant. What studies have the FCC or HHS done to evaluate the RFR's effects on cellular health and oxidative stress, which manifest into countless disease states? What about neurobehavioral outcomes, like children learning in school near a wifi router, or productivity and concentration in the workplace? How are migrating animals and insects affected by the never-ending bombardment of frequencies running through their bodies? How does that impact ecosystems and ultimately human health? Europe has more stringent standards on pulse-modulated RF radiation to protect the health of its citizens and wildlife- why don't we mirror their regulations as a starting point and add on as more research has accumulated? The cost of inaction is far too high- if HHS fails to produce relevant research to protect the health of all living beings, what is the cost to all of humanity? The cost of healthcare is already astronomical in the US. Could limiting the number of towers, satellites, smart devices, band frequencies and the power produced by these structures decrease the amount of human suffering and cost of "mystery" chronic disease states? Before any new technology is developed, I urge HHS to study chronic radiofrequency radiation exposure at ambient levels in a cohort study as well as RCT studies to assess the cellular and physiological changes with acute exposure to pulse-modulated RF radiation. Please see the references attached as evidence to support my claims. The inaction of federal health agencies, including the HHS, in studying the biological and environmental effects of RFR and pulse-modulated RF radiation is extremely disappointing. As a Doctor and one who has been injured by RFR, I see the damage this has on my patients as well. I did not consent, nor do I consent today, to the continuous, involuntary exposure to biologically active RF radiation. Please allocate necessary funding to study RF radiation's effects on living beings. It is the ethical, responsible and humanitarian action to do that.

Submitted Oct 13, 2026 Comment submitted by Dr Karl Maret regarding Request for Information on EMFs, RF and Wireless Radiation Exposure and its Impact on Health published in the Federal Register Vol 91, No 181 dated September 21, 2026. I am offering my expert opinion on the current danger of wireless radiation in today’s increasingly radio frequency and microwave radiation environment including sources from cell towers and antennas, WiFi and wireless transmitters, wireless devices in the home and office environment, cell phones and other cordless phones, and wireless smart meters. These wireless transmitters typically operate at present between 800 Megahertz (MHz) and 5 Gigahertz GHz), with new devices now coming into use with the latest 5G technologies that are capable of operating between 2.4 and 95 GHz using very short wavelengths called millimeter waves. This comment is in response to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Request for Information on EMFs, RF and Wireless Radiation Exposure and its Impact on Health published in the Federal Register Vol 91, No 181 dated September 21, 2026. I have given expert testimony regarding the dangers of this type of radio frequency radiation (RFR) based on my background as an electrical engineer, biomedical engineer and medical doctor who has also completed also a post-doctoral fellowship in physiology and served as a Bioscience Officer in the Canadian Armed Forces. Details of my background and contact information can be found in the longer Word document attached to this comment. Since the 1996 Telecommunications Act that established the U.S. nation-wide cellular communications network, there have been essentially no new health protection standards implemented to protect the general population despite massive research studies showing evidence of harm to the general population. Especially problematic is Radio Frequency Radiation that comes from transmitters close to the body as well as high powered transmitters from cell towers and antennas, microwave transmitters covering schools, housing projects and apartment complexes where the transmitters are often hidden in ceilings and walls. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which is charged with protecting the public, has exposure standards that are principally suitable for short-term exposure and only those that concern heating or thermal effects while ignoring any long-term exposure and non-thermal effects that are now the norm. The widespread proliferation of this technology now in its 5th generation of development (5G), is viewed by hundreds of scientists throughout the world as hazardous to human welfare. The United States has one of the highest exposure guidelines in the developed world which is hundreds of times higher than permitted in other countries including China, Eastern European countries and Russia which have studied the long-term health effects of these RF radiations and chosen to protect their populations appropriately. We have known of the adverse health effects for at least five decades with thousands of studies demonstrating an increased incidence of brain tumors (gliomas, acoustic neuromas, glioblastomas and pituitary tumors) in addition to thyroid and parotid gland tumors. Breast cancers have been demonstrated in young women exactly at the multiple antenna sites who carried their cell phones inside their bras. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a division of the World Health Organization (WHO), has classified electromagnetic radiation as a Class 2B possible carcinogen in 2011 based on numerous scientific studies. My full comment and a brief summary of my past experience and qualifications are attached in the Word file attached as well as 2 PDFs of presentations that substantiate my concerns about the adverse health effects of long-term EMFs and the wireless radiation. I am writing this comment both as a past expert, a healthcare provider, and a very concerned living man who has observed great suffering from many electrosensitive people during 30 years of healthcare practice.

Hello, it's refreshing after more than 20 years that I suffer of hypersensitivity to EMF to have this opportunity to give my personal coment on a condition that has limited in many ways my life and consequently had an impact also to the life of my family. The hardest thing of my condition has been and still is the lack of recognition from my country (Italy) and internationally in general. In spite of A Scientific Consensus International Report, "The critical Importance of Molecular Biomarkers and Imaging in the Sudy of Electromagnetichypersensitivity" International Journal ofMolecularScience2021;22(14):7321.doi:10.3390/ijms22147321. and thausands of different studies, generally no doctor knows enough to be able to help as the research is brought forward only by private indipendent scientists and no government body invests on indipendent research. About me: In the presence of a mobilephone switched on in an eclosed space, I start feeling hot, dizy and generally unwell, strengthless. After about 10 minutes I might become all red in my face, start to see out of focus or feeling sensitive in my ears, that also become red and hot and oversensitive to sound. Even now, that I spend this time in front of my cabled computer, set on airplane mode, I start getting red in my face because the small radiations from the screen. I say might because different symptoms appear according to different frequencies, time of exposure, local environment..etc. The last train jurney I've undertaken many years ago caused me a very strong headache with nausea and fever for three days. I live in fear to find myself in the situation to have to stay in hospital for some reason as I know that I wouldn't find an adeguate environment (a room without emf) but instead I would have to be exposed to elettromagnetic fields that I know would contribute very negatively to my recovery. In fact all patients are allowed to use their mobile phones in the shared wards to keep in touch with friends and relatives. My condition is socially alienating, as friends and family cant't find adeguate information about the condition, on the contrary they find istitutional sites that openly deny its axistance or explain it as idiomatic condition caused mainly by psycological state of mind. Luckily, I still find some understanding from the people that are very close to me. Since my first symptoms appeared doctors have given different explanations for each individual symptoms never been able to answer about the main cause of my general state of health. Only by experiencing the same symptoms when I was exposed to EFM and noticing the disappearance of these symptoms in protected o EMF free environments, brought me to realise my hypersensitivity to EMF. Realising and understanding the condition can help to evoid to be overexposed (with a consequent deterioration of the condition), unfortunately it remains impossible evoiding EMF all together or thinking that one day you'll be able to enjoy a "normal "life because the technology continues to ignore the biological effects proven by thousands of studies from indipendent scientis and the direction is towards incrementing population exposure, not decreasing it. In fact the subject of biological effects of electromagnetic field on people has become "tabu subject", and that's why it's refreshing to have this opportunity to coment. So at the moment and for the last 20 years, I had to accept not to be able to use public transport or fly abroad to see my grandchildren, not to go to cinemas, restaurants, museums..or other enclosed areas where there might be a lot of people with their mobile phones on, or a strong wi fi signal. Long jurney by car are problematic also as motorways are becoming smart roads. If I want to mantain a social life I have to ask friends and family to swich their mobile phones when they come and visit, or ask them to meet outdoors with their mobile phones switched off. As the condition is not ufficially recognised not everybody is understanding enough to comply. It definately would be easier to be allergic to peanuts! I try to convince myself that if I don't give my condition too much importance it won't limit me so much, unfortunately the syntoms remind me promptly make me feel ill there and after. The depressing thing is that I know that my condition in this "new tecnological" environment cannot improve, but is destined to deteriorate untill my life as the life of many other people with my same condition becomes impossible or very debilitated as the body, living in a constant state of allert, starts developing functional deterioration. It would be nice if the research for safer means of comunication, backed by truly indipendent scientist could go towards options able to offer services that are truly safe for people, especially with hypersensitivity, children and the old. I hope to have beeing able to contribute in someways with this coment and I thank for the opportunity. Anna

Yes, I have been struggling with emf sensitivity for years now. I cannot get in hybrid vehicles much less full electric vehicles, EMFs from the router affect me as well. Spectrum just had an update to their service recently which made the signal stronger, I felt horrible after the update was made and had to cancel my internet service. Please do further research, electric vehicles and 5g towers are all toxic to the human body and health detrimental to those of us with other health conditions.

I submit my attached public comment and personal declaration in response to HHS Request for Information, Docket No. HHS-OASH-2026-0397. My submission describes my family's experiences involving radiofrequency electromagnetic exposure, serious neurological medical crises affecting our disabled adult son, and our efforts to obtain appropriate accommodations. I urge HHS to investigate reported biological and health effects, particularly among individuals with epilepsy and other neurological disabilities, and to support independent scientific research. Please accept and consider my attached PDF in its entirety as part of the public record. Respectfully, Michael T. Jennings

On behalf of Southwest Pennsylvania for Safe Technology, I submit our organization's attached public comment and supporting scientific research in response to HHS Request for Information, Docket No. HHS-OASH-2026-0397. Our submission presents reports received from Pennsylvania individuals and families concerning biological and health effects associated with radiofrequency electromagnetic exposure, including serious neurological medical crises involving medically vulnerable individuals. We urge HHS to investigate these reports, prioritize independent scientific research concerning individuals with epilepsy and other neurological disabilities, evaluate cumulative and involuntary exposures, and consider practical exposure reduction accommodations, including non-transmitting utility metering alternatives. Our submission includes two scientific attachments identifying relevant peer-reviewed research and examining the methodology and conclusions of WHO-commissioned systematic reviews. Please accept and consider our complete attached PDF, including both attachments, as part of the public record. Respectfully, Susan M. Jennings, MPA Founder, Southwest Pennsylvania for Safe Technology

In announcing this RFI, the Secretary noted that “our science must keep pace” with wireless technology. HHS has asked where federal research is needed most. From the front line, we see what is holding it back. Nudgr’s co-founders have completed well over 1,000 on-site EMF assessments, mostly in homes. Real-world wireless technology exposure there is multi-source, variable by the minute, and often arrives in short bursts. Much of the evidence base cannot see this. Laboratory studies typically apply one signal from one source. Population studies rely on proxies such as distance or phone-use time. Most instruments were designed to check compliance with heating and nerve-stimulation limits, not to record everyday exposure continuously. Research also moves slower than technology: the NTP study’s final reports on 2G/3G-type signals arrived in 2018, the year millimeter-wave 5G launched and after 3G retirement had been announced. The fix is to measure the exposure itself, continuously, in the places people live and sleep, with documented accuracy. This strengthens research whether future findings are positive, negative, or null. We recommend that NIH, with FDA and CDC, fund the development, independent validation, and deployment of real-world wireless technology exposure instrumentation, along with a common data standard linking exposure to health outcomes, through milestone-gated awards. Nudgr is developing such instrumentation (disclosed as a commercial interest; no proprietary information included) and would welcome participating in any HHS workshop on exposure measurement. The result: researchers, clinicians, and families get answers built on measured exposure, and new technologies such as 6G are characterized as they deploy, not two decades later. Our attachment answers Questions 2, 4, 5 (5n, 5o, 5p), and 6 through 18. Each section is tagged with the question numbers it answers, and a question index appears at the start of the attachment.e(s)

Law makers know emf's are harmful!!! Stop this madness!! It is going to kill pollinators...frequency changes water. Research it!! It is not for the greater good!!

Docket ID: HHS-OASH-2026-0397 Regarding: Request for Information (RFI) on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure As a seasoned Care Manager & Multispecialty Office manager as well n individual caregiver with over ten years of lived environmental illness experience, alongside my husband a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, I am submitting my formal testimony to Docket HHS-OASH-2026-0397. Because our response contains comprehensive historical tracking data, detailed case overviews, and active scientific hyperlinks that exceed the character limitations of this text field, we have attached our complete, unedited narrative and scientific review as a PDF titled: Attachment1_Master_Packet_Docket_HHS_OASH_2026_0397.pdf. Our submission provides specific, evidence-backed justifications addressing several core tracks of this RFI: 1. Public Experiences (Questions 2 & 3): We provide a complete longitudinal case history documenting how a high-density neighborhood 5G rollout and household wireless exposure directly aligned with an acute pediatric neuropsychiatric break, profound dissociation, encephalopathy, and severe autonomic degradation in our children. It outlines our eventual health stabilization achieved only by removing all wireless vectors and establishing an analog, hardwired sanctuary. Both impacted children have since grown into adulthood, providing the agency with a rare multi-year perspective on long-term environmental tracking. 2. Clinical Observations & Evidence Below Limits (Questions 4, 5, & 12): We present peer-reviewed biomedical evidence proving sub-thermal biological damage vastly below current federal thermal baselines. This includes Dr. Martin Pall’s research on Voltage-Gated Calcium Channel (VGCC) activation leading to blood-brain barrier permeability, which allows circulating mycotoxins and vector-borne neurotoxins (Lyme/Mold) to cross into the central nervous system. We also cite data demonstrating that ambient wireless radiation accelerates fungal pathogen defenses, directly increasing indoor mycotoxin production up to threefold. 3. Vulnerable Populations & K-12 Infrastructure Policy (Question 11): We formally demand federal recognition of biotoxin-sensitized and genetically vulnerable populations as a protected class. Furthermore, we call for an absolute mandate replacing wireless router networks with safe, hardwired fiber-optic infrastructure in K-12 school systems. Analysis of Policy Trade-offs: We acknowledge that a hardwired transition requires school districts to absorb upfront infrastructure retrofitting costs and adapt device-dependent lesson plans. However, these immediate costs are heavily outweighed by the massive, long-term public health savings, reduced student absenteeism, minimized chronic healthcare utilization, and superior local cybersecurity. This matches robust international precautionary health precedents already established in countries like France, Israel, and Cyprus. We urge the Department of Health and Human Services to evaluate this cumulative environmental synergy, move past outdated thermal metrics, and call an emergency congressional and medical panel hearing to rebuild national safety parameters from scratch. Please see our attached PDF for our full, unedited narrative testimony and primary peer-reviewed journal citations. Respectfully Submitted, Elizabeth Wright
