EMF and Autism

Peter Sullivan

Some researchers have reported improvements in autism (better sleep, increased focus) in response to reducing EMF (electromagnetic field) from electronic devices, especially during the night.

Dr. Toril Jelter in California has pioneered a simple protocol to reduce exposure to constant sources of wireless radiation and electrical noise. This protocol is simple enough that you can do it on your own:

Turn these four common sources of constant wireless radiation and electrical noise off at night for at least 12 hrs:

1) Baby Monitors: Unplug for the duration of the trial.

2) Wi-Fi: Use a timer for the plug or software configuration to turn off at night.

3) Bedroom Electrical Circuit Breaker: Find the circuit breaker that controls the electrical outlets in the child's bedroom. Turning that off at night will reduce the majority of exposure to field effects and electrical noise (commonly called "dirty electricity").

Before you do these things, you may want to get some baseline data on your child. Take a few videos and notes to document how your child attends and learns.

What to Expect

The majority of children will slowly and steadily improve as they sleep better. We know that wireless exposure can drive down melatonin, glutathione and increase oxidation and inflammation. For most children, removing this constant interference allows their bodies to heal and become more coherent.
