This week, the Internet is awash with reports on a study released by two researchers that would seem to indicate that exposure to electromagnetic fields is behind the recent upswing in the diagnosed cases of autism, the cruel neuro-development disorder impairing a child’s learning, social skills, and interaction with the environment. In brief, the theory goes that the EMFs interfere with cell membranes causing the retention of toxic heavy metals. Hence, a detoxification regime will help eliminate the metals and will improve a child’s symptoms. Various reports indicate that this study can be found in the “peer-reviewed” Australian Journal of Clinical Environmental Medicine or the Australasian Journal of Clinical Environmental Medicine.
