Autism may be Linked to Electromagnetic Radiation Levels In Mother’s Bedroom During Pregnancy

Pilot Study Finds Over 20x Higher Microwave Power Density Levels in Mothers’ Sleeping Locations During Pregnancy

Incidence of autistic babies has increased from 1 in 150 in 2002 to an estimated 1 in 50 babies today. Dr. Dietrich Klinghart, MD, PhD of the Institute of Neurobiology in Seattle recently conducted a pilot study to assess the potential role of electromagnetic frequencies in the dramatic rise in autism and other neurological impairments over the past decade. Various measurements of electromagnetic radiation exposure were assessed in the case of 10 children with neurological impairment, 8 categorized with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Data was obtained for:

1) Mothers’ Body Voltage in the mothers’ sleeping location during pregnancy;

2) Child’s Body Voltage in current sleeping location;

3) Microwave Power Density in mothers’ sleeping location during pregnancy (microwatt/square meter); and

4) Child’s Microwave Exposure in current sleeping location.

Data for mothers with neurologically impaired children were contrasted with similar data for 5 healthy children and their mothers.

The results were as follows:

Body Voltage Levels:

Median Body Voltage Level in Mom’s Bed During Pregnancy* Value Range

Neurologically Impaired Children 1,872 milliVolts (380-6,040)

Healthy Group 224 milliVolts (12-480)

***8.4x Higher Body Voltage Levels in Mom’s with Neurologically Impaired Children

***Note research shoes whatever the Body Voltage of the Mom, it is even higher in the fetus.

Body Voltage of Child in Current Bed Location Value Range

Neurologically Impaired Children 1,028 milliVolts (420-4,900)

Healthy Group 120 milliVolts (0-230)

***8.5x Higher Body Voltage in Neurologically Impaired Child’s Sleeping Location

Microwave Exposure: Microwave Power Density in Sleeping Location Neurologically Impaired Children-Mom’s Bed

mw/sq. meter Range

Exposure In Pregnancy 290 (110-1,710)

Healthy Group 14 (0-67)

***20.7x Higher Microwave Power Density in Mom’s Sleeping Location In Cases Where Children Were Neurologically Impaired

This pilot data strongly suggests that electromagnetic radiation in the sleeping environment of mothers during pregnancy, as well as electromagnetic radiation in the sleeping environment of children, may be key undiscovered contributing if not causative factors in neurological impairments in children, including autism. Given increasing levels of ambient electromagnetic radiation in modern environments from society’s use of electronic equipment, wireless technologies, such as cell phones and wireless networks, high frequency transients on electric lines, and broadband over power lines (BPL), this association needs immediate further exploration.

We can see the damage

An estimated one in 20 babies born in the U.S. each year has an obvious birth defect. That equates to about 200,000 babies per about four million live births annually. Many additional childhood defects and impairments can be subtle, requiring years to become apparent. Millions of parents now cope with often inexplicable child health problems, including severe allergies, diabetes, body weight abnormalities, plus serious eye, ear and skin conditions.

Perhaps the most alarming epidemic among our younger generations involves the increasing incidence of neurological and developmental delay disorders. The 2003 National Survey of Children’s Health found that one in five American children has a learning disability or attention deficit disorder. Studies through decades link these conditions to toxic environmental conditions, including microwave radiation exposure.41

A recent study of over 13,000 Danish women confirms that women who had used cell phones during pregnancy produced children who were 54 percent more likely to manifest hyperactivity and difficulties with conduct and emotion by the time they entered school. Coordinated by American and Danish scientists, this survey found that if children exposed to cell phone radiation in the womb later used cell phones themselves, they were 80 percent more likely to suffer behavior and emotional problems than children who were not exposed.42

In 2000, Dr. Ross Adey working at the University of California, Riverside, showed that pregnant rats exposed to Iridium cell phone radiation produced fetuses with significantly decreased brain activity, compared to non-exposed fetuses.43 The incidence of human autism, a complex affliction manifesting a broad spectrum of brain abnormalities, has increased dramatically since the wireless age began. Scientists say clues are accumulating that RF/microwave exposure could be an important but overlooked factor in the autism epidemic.44

There is also indication that the synergy between RF/microwave radiation and chemicals/metals may be involved in autistic disorders. A 2007 report on autistic children and electromagnetic exposure concluded that the impact of this radiation "could be direct by facilitating early clinical onset of symptoms or indirect, including trapping heavy metals in cells and both accelerating the onset of symptoms caused by heavy metal toxicity as well as impeding therapeutic clearing [of these metals]."45

In 2008, researchers announced that missing DNA snippets on chromosome 16 is a mutation that raises the risk of autism by 100 times. Some suspect that this aberration is the tip of the iceberg concerning genetic errors involved in the syndrome.46 It is generally agreed that such chromosome aberrations can occur before fertilization, which brings us back to chemical and/or radiation-damaged sperm and ova.
