The 2016 Pediatric Societies Annual Conference presented a Symposium on Children, Cell Phones and Wireless. This is an excerpt from the Press Conference before the Symposium. See Doctor’s slides and handouts at http://ehtrust.org/science/key-scient...

Main Topics

Parallels between autism and electromagnetic fields

The relationship between molecular and metabolic brain activity and electromagnetic brain waves. Damage to DNA, proteins, cell membranes, energy production, and immune function caused by both autism and electromagnetic field exposure. Implications for worsening symptoms in individuals with autism due to increased electromagnetic field exposure.

Impact on brain function and potential solutions

Evidence of problems in brain functioning in individuals with autism. Recommendations for reducing exposures to electromagnetic fields, especially during sleep. Importance of promoting resiliency through antioxidant-rich diet and stress reduction.

Questions / Answers

What are the parallels between autism and electromagnetic fields?

The parallels lie in the relationship between molecular brain activity, damage to DNA, proteins, cell membranes, energy production, immune function affected by both conditions.

What can be done to mitigate the impact of electromagnetic field exposure?

It is important to reduce exposures during sleep, limit carrying electronic devices close to the body (especially for men), minimize children's screen time while encouraging 3D play experiences. Additionally, promoting resiliency through an antioxidant-rich diet can help mitigate potential harm.

Key points and Insights

• There are significant parallels between the biological impacts of autism and those caused by exposure to electromagnetic fields.

• Reduction of Wi-Fi exposure during sleep is crucial for mitigating potential harm from electromagnetic fields.

• Encouraging 3D play experiences for children can help reduce their overall exposure to electronic devices.

Quotes

• "Autism has become a very common... condition in childhood... And during the same period... we have seen an enormous increase in the pervasiveness of electromagnetic exposures.

• It's really important for us... do serious research on this... Meanwhile there are a lot of common sense things that we can do. . ."

Topics

Autism and Electromagnetic Exposure

The dialogue explores the potential connection between autism and electromagnetic exposure, highlighting the increasing prevalence and complexity of autism as a global childhood condition.

This dialogue suggests that increased electromagnetic field exposure may worsen symptoms of autism and potentially contribute to its development, as the brain relies on proper molecular and cellular functions for optimal information processing, which is disrupted in individuals with autism.
