ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Please find enclosed a letter from W. Lee Cowden, MD, a board-certified cardiologist who himself experienced cardiac and other symptoms from wireless radiation exposure from a 5G antenna outside a window of a B&B, and had to retire from seeing patients. This also then sensitized him to satellite exposures, requiring installation of a mental roof to block the exposures. Dr. Cowden's wife had a similar experience with cardiac effects from exposure to a home wireless system.

The commenter alleges repeated directed-energy attacks since 2007, describes pain and sleep disruption, a…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Q1 This is John Thomas Christiana and I am writing as a victim of high-tech technology such as Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) being used as weapons. This includes the lower end of the electromagnetic spectrum, extremely low frequencies, where these gamma rays can resonate with the nano bioelectronics in our bodies and brains. Q2 I am providing personal experience, exposure, and documentation by way of websites for the HHS to identify research priorities, and make recommendations for policy makers and public health officials, not only for the danger of EMF frequencies but as well the abuse of these frequencies. I understand the purpose of the HHS Request for Information. My response here is mainly to make HHS aware that EMFs are being used as weapons, by various forms including directed energy weapons. Q3 I do not have any symptoms of what is known as Havanna Syndrome. Rather, it is a nerve attacked, sometimes painful, but much more often just battery annoyance. I am writing as a victim, and when these abuses are being inflicted using different vehicles to attack the body parts as well as the brain, when it happens every day and night, this amounts to torture, both physically and psychologically. HHS needs to address this as in time this can affect the entire population, or whoever is targeted, including children and political opponents, and will only get worse. This has the double effect of not only physical battery and psychological abuse, but the danger of exposure to electromagnetic frequencies and all the dangers that are determined in this request for information by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and the HHS. For external credibility, CBS News on 60 Minutes, Scott Pelley, on March 8, 2026 did a report on these weapons stating “The range of the beam is several hundred feet. It can penetrate windows and drywall.” www.cbsnews.com/news/us-military-tested-device-that-may-be-tied-to-havana-syndrome-60 minutes-transcript/ In addition, CNN interviewed Dr. Sanjay Gupta and James Lin in a special that aired on September 25, 2022 that partially explained these weapons using frequencies. transcripts.cnn.com/show/csr/date/2022-09-25/segment/01 Included in the transcript: GUPTA: “Somebody else outside the room is giving bursts of microwave energy that's directed at your brain.” LIN: “Yes.” GUPTA: “What would you hear?” LIN: “Hear essentially zip sound. Zip. You know, a very short zip.” GUPTA: “Zip?” LIN: “Yes. Then if you begin to increase from 10, you know, 20 microseconds then you hear sort of like a click.” GUPTA: “If you had a recording device in the room and you were recording, would it pick up anything?” LIN: “No. So all of that takes place inside the head.” The electronic attacks to me started in 2007 and were occasional but grew in volume until it was 1,000s of time a day. Then in the last decade, the frequency attacks intermixed the social environment. So now the shock to my body part is interactive with the setting around me both in events as well as people. In my journal, I have detailed contemporaneous notes of each electronic shock to my eyes (have vision loss) and private parts (sex abuse) including the time of the day and part of the body. You can see 180 weeks from 2012 through 2016 of the weekly journal entries at www.lifeofjohnchristiana.com/torture journal.html. Q5 In my experience, there appears to be different vehicles of delivery. During the day when awake, the frequency wave is shocking to my eyes, chin, or private parts (sex abuse). From experience, my belief is satellites and cell towers are used. This is shown on my Life of John Christiana website under Torture Journal. In contrast, during the night when dozing off to sleep, from experience it appears to be locally that frequencies from directed energy weapons are used, that attack my brain, that wake me up and prevent sleep. This sleep deprivation when repeated could be charged as attempted murder. Q18 This is not an experiment or research for the benefit of mankind. The shock to my eyes, private parts, and other parts of my body are at any time 24 hours a day. I am available to meet for discussion or testing. To address any psychological concern, I voluntarily had a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan done www.lifeofjohnchristiana.com/pet-scan.html which the National Institute of Health (NIH) provides that a PET scan is the test for schizophrenia. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20237027/ The conclusion in the medical report, on my brain, by a California licensed medical doctor, was normal brain, as shown on the website. I just graduated from law school. HHS needs to investigate and address this before it is too late. These abuses and violations of bodily integrity amounts to the United States losing freedom.

An acupuncturist describes extensive symptoms associated with computers, phones, towers, and other device…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
The 1st time I typed a paper on a computer was the annotated bibliography for my Master's degree. I couldn't figure out why I was ssoo irritable and unreasonable. My head pounded every time I worked on it. I couldn't see clearly. I couldn't. think. The next issue was when I got a satellite phone. My face would get red and hot, and my teeth started blowing up. Headaches again. Soon while commuting for work an hour each way in wide open desert land. Invariably at the same areas both ways, I would get hot and sweaty, no matter the weather; my shoulders and head would ache and feel prickly. The only variable in these areas were high cell towers. After that, things escalated very fast. I entered into a classroom which, although I was unaware of it at the time, had recently acquired wifi. Immediately, I was dizzy and ran out and barfed. There are some buildings that every time I enter, I run to the restroom with sudden violent diarrhea. Being attacked by harmful EMF's have. at times squeezed my life into the tiniest box. Every new invention complicates my life. I had to stop using a cell phone when 4 G came in. The pain and numbness in my fingers was unbearable. Talking on the cell was ridiculous as my brain could not decipher what was being said. Answering wasn't much better, as the frequencies made me stutter. Additionally, things like baby monitors, key fobs, motion sensor camera and lights, garage door openers, smart meters, electronics in cars, digital anything, radar, LED and fluorescent lighting, many medical devises, xrays, weather manipulation, laser, TV, tablets make me miserable, and, depending on how many devises are nearby, and the length of time exposed, more complications appear: vision loss, extreme high blood pressure, coughing, Parkinson's type symptoms, insomnia, trouble getting a breath, irregular heartbeats, lack of joy, lack of energy, joint pain, skin rashes, apprehension, restlessness, feeling the need to escape, memory loss, muscle pain, stabbing pain as cell phones pass by. Flying is impossible. Any injury or sickness when complicated with harmful EMF's is magnified times 10. The only way I've been able to function at all has been to live without electricity, away from people, in a shipping container with aluminum screening-basically a faraday cage. If I get 12-14 hours inside, I can recover and go out a bit. (work and other daily living on a moderate basis). Also, being an acupuncturist I can fix the damages in my own body daily if needs be. While observing patients for 20 years, I have noticed many have symptoms related to harmful EMF's. Some have figured the cause, but still choose their devices over giving them up for health sake. Some patients come at their very wits end because they couldn't figure out what was happening to them, and MD's pronounced it psychiatric which made them all the more terrified about their futures and desperate to be heard. Some patients have had to withdraw into a tiny, tiny life because they can't handle the affects of the harmful EMF's. It seems these devises could be manufactured with healing frequencies rather than debilitating.

The commenter reports severe illness beginning around telecommunications equipment, rural relocation and …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Re: HHS-OASH-2026-0397 Questions 2, 3, 9, 13, 15 and 18 I am submitting as an individual with firsthand experience of adverse health effects I believe are strongly and reproducibly associated with RF/EMF exposure. My background includes doctoral-level training in a health science and professional experience in telecommunications research and development. My symptoms began after I started working around RF/EMF-emitting telecommunications equipment. Previously healthy and athletic, I developed shingles, musculoskeletal pain, sleep disturbance, urinary frequency, recumbent pressure-related pain and metal sensitivity. About three years later I moved from a rural area into a newly built suburban home and my health declined dramatically. I developed chest pain, palpitations, dizziness, heat intolerance, tinnitus, profound fatigue, brain fog and severe insomnia. My resting heart rate rose from about 70 to 90, yet during exercise sometimes failed to rise appropriately, leaving me dizzy and winded. Eventually I could no longer continue school or work. Extensive medical evaluation, conflicting diagnoses and tens of thousands of dollars did not restore my health. For nine years I spent nearly every waking moment trying to regain my health and my life. RF/EMF was initially only one possible stressor I investigated among many. I obtained several RF/EMF meters, mapped sources in my home, turned off Wi-Fi and a cordless phone, and discovered exposures I had not known were present. My efforts culminated in a move to a remote property chosen partly because it had little or no cellular service. Other environmental factors changed too, so this was not a controlled experiment. Over the following years I progressively recovered and became far more tolerant of heat, foods, chemicals and ordinary stresses, although city trips could still trigger relapses. Years later the wireless environment around my rural home changed. Cellular service became detectable where previously there had been essentially none. A new cell tower went up, my fixed wireless internet provider changed equipment, and a neighbor installed Starlink. My previous syndrome returned severely. My heart rate and blood pressure increased by just under 30%. I developed rhythm disturbances, brain fog, tinnitus and profound insomnia. At one point I was unable to sleep for eleven consecutive days and was taken to the emergency room. I built an RF-shielding enclosure and confirmed with an RF meter that RF readings inside were substantially reduced. I repeatedly observed my systolic blood pressure fall from around 140 toward my baseline of about 110 under reduced-exposure/shielded conditions. These are personal observations, not a controlled study, but sufficiently repeatable that I no longer regard RF/EMF as hypothetical. To this day I sleep without heat or electricity through snowy winters because that low-exposure environment allows me to sleep. This year, after recent work on the nearby tower, I began experiencing pressure, discomfort and visual changes in the eye and surrounding region on the side of my head nearest the directional antenna serving my rural internet connection. Those symptoms abate with shielding that my meter confirms reduces RF levels. HHS should investigate long-term cumulative RF/EMF exposure, short-duration peak exposures, and factors that may alter individual susceptibility, including heavy-metal burden. Biological effects can depend on intensity, duration, repetition, recovery and repair. Policy should not assume repeated exposures are independent or that cumulative exposure is irrelevant. Long averaging periods can hide important peaks. Average the energy delivered by a bullet over thirty minutes and its average power looks trivial, while the real-world millisecond impact can be deadly. The body experiences exposure as it occurs, not as an arithmetic average. Standards must address both cumulative dose and instantaneous peak exposure. People are simultaneously exposed to cell towers, Wi-Fi, satellite systems, fixed wireless internet, smart meters, Bluetooth, smart appliances and personal devices. Who measures aggregate exposure where a person sleeps and works? Who is responsible when independently regulated sources combine? Consumers need a practical right to know. One night, seeking somewhere relatively RF-free, I stopped beneath what I only later realized was a camouflaged cell tower. Camouflaged towers should be clearly labeled wherever people pass nearby. Wireless devices should have an obvious indicator showing when transmitting at low, medium or high power. I cannot tell HHS which transmitters, or combination of transmitters, were responsible for what I experienced. That is precisely the problem. RF exposure has become ubiquitous, dynamic and largely invisible. Policy must measure and disclose cumulative exposure and give individuals the information needed to reduce avoidable exposure.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
There is a great deal written about EMF, 5G, cellphone towers, smart meters, transformers, satellites, etc. as sources of constant, never ending ambient humming and buzzing noise. This noise is one of the results of unregulated technology, and is largely dismissed as tinnitus. The noise permeates neighborhoods and communities yet even with sophisticated ultrasound equipment, because of so much radioactive frequency interfering with and disturbing our peace, it is often impossible to determine the source of the noise, which may be exacerbated by the chemical nanoparticles SAI, SRM, and wear warfare and modification programs. This is a serious, insidious source of noise pollution causing health concerns, including sleep disturbances. Faraday cages were invented to escape this radiation. This appears to be interacting with the earth’s electromagnetic field, affecting wildlife, songbirds, pollinators, insects. There are bound to be repercussions from the sea of radioactivity in which we must now live. There is considerable information is on the web and dot gov sites on this subject.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
We the People have claimed for decades that we are being harmed by the deployment of radio and satellite communications systems that lack safety regulations, and we’ve been ignored - in favor of profits and shareholders. There has been no safety standards review since 1996. 
Meanwhile, We the People have endured a relentless 30 year escalation of tech - now well beyond gigahertz, and into the millimeter wave and terahertz levels. i am a longterm EHS (electro-hyper-sensitive) and HSP (highly sensitive person), and i have actively watched the proliferation of cell towers, satellites, and new technology deployments ever since 2010 - when i first noticed that being on the computer quickly zapped all my energy and gave me headaches, stomach aches, joint pains, palpitations, severe leg cramps, and increasing irritability. The headaches, palpitations, and body pains became constant for me as the grid grew.
i am not alone in this. 
Between 2010-2017, i discovered key places on the highway where i would repeatedly have to fight to stay awake. Then, there was the constant stress of being electrocuted - like live wires were running painful current through my body all the time. At times it was as if i was struck by lightning and unable to function normally for weeks at a time. The worst headaches imaginable became constant for me, and my brain has even been shocked to a stupor for months at a time. 
Then everything hurts, and i can’t move. My worst episodes seemed for years to correlate to large satellite deployments into space - my body acutely suffers when electromagnetic forces are amplified and accelerated, and i feel immense suffocating weight pressing into me, compressing my organs and taking my breath away. 
i’ve also suffered 6 eardrum ruptures since 2017.
i’ve moved numerous times to try to escape, but to no avail. Last year, in January 2025, when new cell towers popped up across the street from my home, i went down hard and fast. Severe racing heart; freezing cold and curled in a ball - unable to regulate temperature, muscle activity, breath, heart rate, even a single thought - and unable to speak coherently for several weeks. In my experience as a brain therapist, my symptoms and the recovery was a lot like post-stroke, and it took me 8 months last year to function at base level again. Now, the episodes are relentless: every time they add repeaters and densifiers and other assorted infrastructure to the towers and poles, i go down hard all over again.
i’ve lost much of this year to emf poisoning too. That’s 2 years of lost work, all directly connected to the towers and their expansion. 
i have now joined more than hundred million wi-fi refugees in being forced to leave my home and move to a rural place, where i won’t have to live under this deadly infrastructure any more. i have also done more research and written more articles on the dangers of these unregulated technologies than any holistic healer should have to - because people have to know - that what we can’t see, but can measure, is hurting us. The physical, emotional, and psychological costs are extreme - and reversible only up to a certain point, at which time neurodegenerative damage turns to decay and for many, even death. 

This unseen epidemic of electromagnetic poisoning must stop. It is long past time to pause, review the standards, and find ways to communicate that don’t cost people, animals, plants, and insects their lives.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Mr Secretary, dear HHS, I humbly entreat you publicly on this format to review my personal experience with frequencies for further verification: I am a TI and therefore an involuntary test person, and have found that mental health issues are directly related to the increase of the strengthening of Internet infrastructure, as 3G, 4G, and most notable Starlink. Doctors have always said that the smallest amount is already inadvisable, but governments have not heeded for prioritizing money over health. The shutdown of wireless internet globally would solve most severe health issues in today’s society, we won’t adapt to that, our bodies are too sensitive to even minor frequencies, it’s the main health issue of the day. One may help sensitive people with putting small aluminum sheets under the roof of an house, in size small, but spread under the roof here and there, it feels as if forming a more bearable bubble underneath, also plated silver and plated gold in smaller measures, the more expensive, the less amount needed. Also I felt, that if houses are built of natural materials, wood, stone, brick, less plastic, the grounding is better and the frequencies conducted to a higher degree to the ground, which helps a lot, also in higher stories. Also tying plated silver or gold to grounding cables, or grounded conductive metals, as heaters, increases the absorption of frequencies in the whole house, I feel, and de-electrifies the air in the house, takes electro-smog away, I feel. Also as old physicians said, drinking water that flowed over gold or silver, is good, and today it makes your body more resistant to EMF, I feel, and America had much gold in the water naturally for health reasons it seems. Also shielding with emergency blankets that are plastic blankets with sprayed-on aluminum helps a lot, I feel, I put that on one side-wall next to my bed, it is see-through gold and costs 2 Dollars only. And EMF can be dissipated naturally through gold dust, silver dust, and the dust of precious stones, that were in former times used in the temple of Israel and mentioned in the book of Revelation of the Apostle John in the Bible. So having said all major things, I submit these to you, mentioning that the measure of shielding is important, according to one’s experiences therewith. Of course one can ground one’s shoes, increase the grounding benefits with metals, wear shielding clothes and many more things, but for now it suffices. For further information, please contact me, I am a pastor in Austria, Europe, Markus Pilz, my address is Schildlehen 35, 8972 Ramsau am Dachstein, Austria. Thank you for your work.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Please do something to help people diabled from these exposures! Please minimize exposure to everyone! Set limits that are realistic to not damage everyone. I have been electrically and chemically sensitive as well as sensitive to mold for many years. I can no t live in my home in town. I live primitive on a family farm. I can not be on line long at all. I fight many things and struggle to survive in everyday life. Wireless is everywhere and satellite everything its a mine field for people like me. Precision ag is one of the worst i fight. Farm equipment is wireless tech and satellite so when programmed to a field it’s miserable and a horrible exposure to me. Also the farmer if not finished will leave their equipment in the field on still drawing signal which keeps me from sleeping. It’s miserable torture. If its in an approximate one mile radius of me left on i have to go shut the madter battery disconnect off to kill signal. There should be a law that they cannot leave these unattended and on! Tracking of everything is murder to me. Semis mailtrucks garbage trucks you name it!

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Hello thank you for work there on this and other subjects. Cell and radar and satellites affect health and earth ground weights. The electro media can add to matter weight thru saturation. Cell towers have been over placed in numbers per counties for reduction criteria to be legislated.. I have written to officials that some are right next to residential and buildings. This can along with antennae on the roofs stimulate the grid and structures and wiring and lighting to shed cell media even spraying thru bulbs.. making items last a shorter time. I can feel my brain stiffen near cell towers. During the campaigns too much cellular media is drying my lungs. I’ve campaigned against Junk mail please stop Junk Mail.. on air quality..someday 50 junk mail everyone’s upset online.. I stopped a few meltdowns in Westlake Hills Tx with a Radio President near the Dell’s residence. ..and Dripping Springs Tx near a famous engineering Co I got them to move. There are 3 on 290 right behind handsome homes. I found out the police did not have an emergency list of who to to call about them. I’ve seen elite homes with cell towers next door literally in Heritage Oaks and Vintage Oaks. I called ATT and they and/or Westin Dean a custom home builder..got all cell towers turned way down in settings. There were some I couldn’t even drive by. In Beverley Hills near a hotel there were 15 cell towers near a hotel as well. Some install them for extra money even near poor cows… I write animal activists no improve this. Many could be mandated to be smaller in impact modules. Sometimes it’s their lighting that can ground load and age too bad sockets and timers. I’ve written a public Land trust to start buying land with the public. This to stop those needing money moronically plastering the country with cell towers. Psychologically another blow for humans along with ABombs.. Causing stress and more.. Too much techno media may effect the sun and moon radio waves. Especially during sun storms. Our atmosphere may reflect back to the sun heating it up a tad more with techno media density.... But a sun storm can effect the grid the size of.New York a TV show proclaimed. There are too many playful radio hours allowed and stations at 15,000… I’ve written to have them go to half days at least.. non essential radio. Whisper radar is needed including for weather. It’s heavier than cell media.. We are millivolt systems. And we are getting saturated with techno media. Techno rings can hold weather systems below the planet equator and add to flooding that has caused some evacuations so wrote NOAA. Only a percent of wireless bill pay should be allowed. Techno media can cause heart rates and supposedly cancer to increase. Possibly brain changes as well even at work inside wireless buildings. I can feel some gravity weight increase around some buildings that are all wireless too. The pad sites have a tad more zing and gravity. Stewardship is ascue and needs moderation. Please help the Earth and human standards of conduct to be guided more elitely.. Thank you again for this project your doing. All my best hopes.. to everyone… I want my adult sons and grandkids to believe in this world more. How about youalls families? Resa Bartlett and family.

The commenter recounts concerns about school tower siting, regulatory processes and workplace repercussio…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
About 12 years ago I attended a city council meeting in San Marino, CA, where parents were hoping to get a cell phone tower removed from the playground at their children’s school. I was appalled to learn that the parents could be sued if they expressed any concern that the tower might in some way impair their children’s health. So all they could do was talk about their fear that it could burn, or fall over, or that it looked unsightly, etc. Of course, the tower stayed. This is all you really need to know to realize that those who make and enforce our government's regulations have turned a blind eye to the real probability that our health and the health of plants and animals is likely harmed by some of these increasingly ubiquitous RF/EMF fields. One cannot even ask the question! After learning that I could be sued by the powerful communications industry for expressing concern that cell towers could cause health effects, I tried calling the FCC to ask how they came to the conclusion that RF and microwaves radiating at people were safe. I couldn’t reach a single human being to speak with until I finally selected the choice in the FCC phone menu for those who wanted to buy spectrum. After making this selection, I immediately got an engineer on the line. I explained why I was calling, that I was not buying spectrum but was a concerned citizen, and asked about what research the FCC used to establish safety standards. He told me he felt badly, that likely we needed to study the problem more but it was out of his hands. He told me that there was a group from whom the FCC got their reports on RF and microwave safety. I looked at the website he had mentioned. It described a small firm of 5 women whose mandate was to produce reports which interpreted complex data in their clients’ strategic interests. Wow. We were being sold a bill of goods. I tried to interest people at Caltech, where I was working, in this problem. I was told by my PI in no uncertain terms that if I took any measurements with an RF meter or EMF meter I would not be able to work in the HIV research lab anymore. I was told people would be upset and I must not bring “that device” (a simple cheap Trifield meter) to work ever again. I was later fired for specious reasons, and banned from talking to anyone in the lab. This felt really creepy. It was quite an education. I became more interested in the problem. The more I learned the more appalled I became. I appreciate the opportunity to comment. It is not my job to teach you, dear FCC, what you already know: there is something potentially harmful in these energies, else why can we not ask the question at city hall about whether these cell towers on the playground could be harming our kids? You at the FCC already know that you have been encouraging the rapid spread of this powerful addictive technology at the cost of our health and possibly even our climate. You know that in spite of efforts made by you and others to thwart studying this problem, data exists which casts doubt on microwave safety. Why are there articles entitled "The effect of trees on 5G" instead of articles entitled “The effect of 5G on trees"? At Caltech, before the Covid lockdown, I sat in on a bunch of lectures being given by the sustainability people. No one had incorporated the rapid increase in microwaves in our world in their models of our rapidly warming world. I see evidence around me that cell towers harm and kill trees, and likely, dry the soil, start fires, who knows what. The plethora of satellites that measure the ice depth at the poles shine microwaves in and measure what comes back. The difference apparently tells how thick the ice is. But is this a good thing to do? Could the small amount of microwave energy absorbed by the ice be softening the ice’s surface, changing its albedo, causing more of the sun's energy to be absorbed rather than reflected, leading to further ice melt? Are we in a way opening the oven to make sure the cake hasn't fallen yet when we make these measurements? We need to do better. We need a consortium of biologists, physicists, climate scientists, and engineers who are not influenced by profit or lucrative data collection schemes to work together to understand the impact of these energies (with which we did not co-evolve) on our health and on the health of our living world. Thank you for your time.
