Dr. Toril Jelter's Two-week Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) Reduction Protocol
As a first-line therapy for a child with autism or Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Dr. Jelter developed an EMR-reduction protocol and began offering it to families in her practice.
Before beginning the trial, evaluate your child's sleep quality, behavior, mood and speech. Find a checklist at the Autism Research Institute's website, Click Here
For a simpler evaluation, name three of your child's biggest problems, and rate them from zero to ten. (Zero means no problem; ten means the worst imaginable.)
Put your evaluation in a drawer-- then try Dr. Jelter's protocol:
1. Turn off the Wi-Fi router at night for at least 12 hours. For Internet access, use a CAT 5 or 6 Ethernet cable.
2. Eliminate all cordless (DECT) phones. Keep all mobile devices at least six feet from children. Keep all mobile phones off in the car. (If both parents agree, do not expose children to any wireless technologies for two weeks.)
3. Turn off the electricity to your child's bedroom at night at the breaker box if you can do so safely. Beside your child's bed, keep a flashlight that they know how to use. (If your home has a "smart" digital, transmitting utility meter, avoid being near it for prolonged periods. If your state's regulations allow, request a mechanical-analog meter-- not a transmitting one.)
After the two-week trial, evaluate your child's symptoms again. Then, compare the two lists. If your child's behavior has not improved, return to your original electronics usage for one to two weeks; again, rate the severity of your child's three main problems from zero to ten. If you observe no change in this second trial, then EMR might not be contributing to your child's illness. Or, your home's EMR levels may be so high that behavior may calm only by moving to an area with less EMR. Consider hiring a certified EMF consultant or building biologist to assess EMR exposure at your home, school and in your car.
Of course, diet also plays a key part in children's health. The supplement to the 2010 Journal of Pediatrics reports that 40-80% of children with autism have difficult-to-diagnose gastro-intestinal problems. A poor diet (with large amounts of processed foods and/or sugar, for examples) can increase a child's vulnerability to environmental exposures. Optimal nutrition can increase a child's resistance.
Case studies
One family that tried Dr. Jelter's protocol had a four-year-old boy with autism who had slept poorly for two years. At night, he climbed into his parents' bed wanting to talk, play and eat. So, his parents had not slept well for two years, either. Within the first week of their EMR reduction trial, the boy slept through the night in his own bed. (Because wireless radiation can lower the sleep hormone melatonin, it can also disrupt sleep.)
After two weeks, Dr. Jelter prescribed a multi-vitamin and pharmaceutical-grade, molecularly-distilled fish oil. The boy's appetite then improved, and his bowel movements became regular. Since it usually takes more than two weeks for significant change from supplements, Dr. Jelter thought that his improvements most likely resulted from lowering EMR exposure. Or, the combination of reduced EMR-exposure and supplements may have improved his health.
Later, the boy's poor sleep returned, and he climbed into his parents' bed again. His mother thought he'd eaten too much sugar for Halloween. Then she learned that her older child had re-activated their Wi-Fi router. Once the router was turned back off, the four-year-old's sleep improved again, and his behavior calmed. Within two months of supplements and reduced EMR-exposure, the boy's cognitive abilities improved two grade levels.
