Resources and work that complements Dr. Jelter's protocol

"Autism and EMF? Plausibility of a pathophysiological link-- Parts 1 and 2" by Dr. Martha Herbert (pediatric neurologist at Harvard Medical School) and Cindy Sage (co-editor of BioInitiative Reports) in Pathophysiology 2013.

While young children's use of mobile devices has increased from five minutes a day in 2020 to 55 minutes in 2022, and by age four, most children have their own devices, JAMA Pediatrics reports a connection between toddlers' tablet use and emotional outbursts. A one-hour increase in daily tablet use at age 3.5 links to a 22% rise in anger and frustration by the following year. Another JAMA Pediatrics study linked TV screen time and development of sensory-seeking behaviors such as obsessively watching a spinning object, becoming slower to respond to stimuli like hearing one's name called, and avoiding certain sensory experiences, such as new foods and noisy environments.

Www.BabySafeProject.org has a brief video with Yale Medical School ob/gyn Dr. Hugh Taylor about the effects of in-utero cell phone exposure on children's behavior.

Buie, T., "Evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of GI disorders in individuals with ASDs: A Consensus Report," Pediatrics, 2009-1878c. Doi:10.1542/peds.

Cayne, Sarah M. et al., "The growth of problematic media use over early childhood: Associations with long-term social and emotional outcomes," Computers in Human Behavior, Vol. 159, October 2024. Study of media use in children between 2.5 and 5.5 years of age. Initial levels of problematic media use related to social and emotional problems four years later.

Dunckley, Victoria, MD, Reset Your Child's Brain: A Four-Week Plan to End Meltdowns, Raise Grades and Boost Social Skills by Reversing the Effects of Electronic Screen-Time, New World Library, 2015. Today, "Nearly one in five teenagers displays symptoms of smartphone addiction."

Environmental Health Trust posts Simple Steps Can Help Reduce Every Day Wireless Exposures.

Graber, Diana, Raising Humans in a Digital World: Helping Kids Build a Healthy Relationship with Technology, HarperCollins, 2019. Can your children unplug? manage their online reputations? keep themselves safe from cyber-bullying, predators, sexting, revenge porn? Do they know what to do if they encounter unhealthy relationships online? how to protect personal information? how to think critically about the information they find online? If you answer "no" to any question, then your children are not ready for the massive responsibility of owning a connected device. The stakes are too high. However, with time and patience, you can teach kids these life skills. Ask them to write down their online activities, and the number of hours they spend online every day. Ask what benefits each screen-time activity gives. If you had no device, what would you do? Would you take one-day-a-week to do these things? Would you create tech-free zones in your household and at school?

Children, Radiation and Health, excellent talk from British pediatrician Erica Mallery-Blythe, MD.

Screen-free toys and activities from Katherine Johnson Martinko.

Dr. Joel Moskowitz, UC/Berkeley public health analyst, posts studies and policy developments regarding EMR exposure.

Nagata, Jason M., et al., "Bedtime Screen Use Behaviors and Sleep Outcomes in Early Adolescents," J. of Adolesc. Health, 2024. Leaving notifications on, even in silent mode, leads to less sleep compared to turning the phone off or keeping it outside the bedroom.

Delaney Ruston, MD, developed the ScreenAgers documentaries and offers tools to Keep Phones "Away for the Day" at School. Many schools and school districts have banned cell phones. After John Wallis Church of England Academy required students to keep phones in a sealed pouch, detentions dropped 40% and truancy reduced 25%.

Simonson, Stewart D., "Evidence for increased autism due to electromagnetic pollution from high power microwave antennas."

Singer, Katie, An Electronic Silent Spring, Steiner Books, 2014, reports on the laws about EMR exposure and its biological effects on public health and wildlife.
