Dr. Mercola's Comments:

 

 

Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt is well known for his successful treatment of

neurological illness, chronic pain, and autistic children with Integrative

Medicine. Here he explains how electromagnetic fields (EMF) interfere not

only with your biology, but with that of your unborn child as well, and how

it contributes to the creation of autism.

Rates of autism have increased nearly 60-fold since the late 1970s, with the

most significant increases occurring in the past decade. It now affects

about one in 150 U.S. Children, but some sources claim it may be even higher

than that. For example, researchers in Great Britain believe that one in 58

children may have some form of the condition!

Preconception healthcare may be one of the most important, yet largely

ignored aspects of medicine to halt this alarming trend.

Why You Need to Beware of EMF Exposure During Pregnancy

According to Dr. Klinghardt, one of the most important preconception health

considerations is your level of electromagnetic field exposure, particularly

where you sleep and work on a daily basis.

Dr. Klinghardt performed a small study showing that autism can actually be

predicted based on the EMF levels of your sleeping quarters while pregnant!

He found that if you sleep in strong electromagnetic fields during pregnancy

your child will likely begin to exhibit neurological abnormalities within

the first two years of life, such as:

 

Neurological dysfunction

Hyperactivity

Learning disorders

 

I’ve previously written about the many dangers of EMF’s, and

information-carrying radio waves from cell phones in particular, which have

been found to:

Damage your cell membranes

Decrease your intracellular communication by disrupting microtubular

connections that allow biophotons to communicate between cells

Increase deposits of heavy metals into your cells, which increases

intracellular production of free radicals and can radically decrease

cellular production of energy -- thus making you incredibly fatigued

Getting your bedroom and work space measured for EMF’s and changing the

position of your bed may be one of the best things you can do for the future

health of your baby. I am absolutely convinced that the explosion in cell

phone and Wi-Fi usage is one of the primary contributing factors to the

rising autism rates as it further increases the dangers of vaccines and

other heavy metal exposure. It also potentiates the production of toxic

microbes and endotoxins.

One of Dr. Klinghardt’s European colleagues did an experiment on microbial

cultures, comparing the growth and endotoxin production between microbes

shielded in faraday cages, compared to cultures subjected to typical EMF

exposure without protection. The proliferation and endotoxin production went

up 600 percent when subjected to ambient EMFs.

For this reason, Dr. Klinghardt suggests:

Turning off all the fuses at night

Shield your bed with a special metalized fabric, to protect yourself from

harmful frequencies that can disrupt cellular communication

If you are constructing a new home or renovating one and the walls are being

rebuilt you can install radiant barrier which is a tough type of aluminum

foil which will also very effectively screen out the EMF. This is what I

did for my own bedroom.

We are discovering more about the detrimental health impact of EMF on a

regular basis. In addition to searching my site for previous articles on

this issue, two good sources for more information about how and why you

should protect yourself and your family members from electromagnetic fields

are abcEMF.com and ElectroMagneticHealth.org.

Beware that cell phones and wireless internet features are not the only

sources you need to be cautious of. Essentially, most all electronics will

generate EMF’s, including the wiring in your home, electric alarm clocks,

electric blankets, computers and lamps, just to mention a few.

At minimum, move your bed so that your head is at least 3-6 feet from all

electrical outlets. If you are constructing the walls you can put the wires

inside pipes which will virtually eliminate the fields that are generated in

the room when the current runs through the wire. Also, turn off everything

electrical in your sleeping area, including your WI-FI, cell and portable

phones.

Additionally, whenever possible, try to avoid holding a non-corded phone to

your head, and avoid using your cell phone when in a car with a child or

pregnant woman. If you absolutely need to use your cell phone, crack your

window so the radiation can dissipate quicker.

Final Thoughts

 

I agree with Dr. Klinghardt when he says that no society can go successfully

forward without preconception healthcare, and I think it will become the

main issue for any modern society to thrive and to evolve.

Currently there are only two countries that have strict standards in regards

to protecting their children from environmental hazards such as EMF’s, and

that’s Iran and Russia.

We don’t do anything as a society to protect the coming generation of

children and it’s heartbreaking, considering everything we know about the

dangers of EMF’s and information-carrying radio waves. Part of the problem

is that most of the public health decisions are made by attorneys and

politicians, not physicians and scientists.

Last year I became an active participant, along with Dr Klinghardt, in the

THRiiiVE Consensus Creation Summits, organized by autism educator and

activist Dana Gorman. Back in October of last year, at the most recent

summit, we created the Top 10 Prioritized To Do List for what you and your

children need to thrive, and become optimally healthy. I recommend

reviewing this list in its entirety, if you missed it.
