Calming Behavior in Children with Autism and ADHD The Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR)-Lowering Protocol

Peter Sullivan, software designer From birth, our elder son (born in '96) got triggered easily, especially by noises and touch. At three, he was kicked out of preschool and diagnosed with sensory integration disorder (a symptom of autism). Our younger son (born in '99) seemed to develop normally. Then, at four, he regressed and stopped playing with other children. His teachers voiced concern that he was also showing symptoms of autism.

I'd thought that autism was entirely genetic and that there was nothing we could do about it. Then I started reading about healthy children regressing into autism and others who'd been diagnosed with the disorder and recovered from it.

Meanwhile, I struggled with multiple food allergies. I heard constant buzzing. Tests showed that everyone in our family had high levels of toxic metals. Over several years, my wife and I detoxed ourselves and our sons. Our elder son calmed down, and our younger son started to make friends again. Everyone felt better.

Still, something was off for me. Sleep had become an issue.

For nearly two decades, I worked in the computer industry. Four years after detoxing from heavy metals, I started to realize that my nervous system got overloaded around flickering fluorescent lights and wireless devices.

We turned off our Wi-Fi and used Ethernet cables for Internet access. We quit cordless DECT phones and went back to corded landlines. We stopped putting cell phones near our heads. We put the phones in airplane mode at night, and never use them with a bluetooth. We got demand switches to turn off the electricity to our bedrooms at night. I'm still exploring how to operate a solar power system without degrading power quality, creating electrical noise and causing biological harm.

Both of our teenagers understand the dangers of cell phone use; and, they both have them. At school, they're bombarded with Wi-Fi. I'm still very concerned about their exposure to EMR, but at least it's very low at night.

Neither of our sons displays autism symptoms now. Both have become high performance kids. Our elder son will start college this Fall.

In Silicon Valley, if one in 100 iPhones don't work properly, the assembly line would be studied systematically, and the problem's source would be eliminated in a month. We need to respond to autism in the same way. We need to find the source of autism's dramatic increase and eliminate it--and give our children a healthy chance. As Frank Clegg, former President of Microsoft Canada, says, "We're not citizens for no technology. We're citizens for safe technology."
