Yara was exposed to radiation while she was developing in my womb .
As I gained an understanding of how EMF radiation affects babies in utero , I came across many scientific studies and new research projects that were coming to the same conclusion : developing brains are uniquely vulnerable to the effects of EMF radiation .
A recent study from Yale University shows that exposure to wireless radiation can have profound effects on brain development , including sleep disturbances and behavioural changes , like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD ). As a holistic pediatrician and mother of three , I urge pregnant women to take these 10 simple steps to limit their baby ’ s exposure to wireless radiation .
1 Avoid carrying your cellphone on your body ( i . e . pockets or bra ).
2 Avoid holding any wireless device against your body when in use .
3 Use your cellphone on speaker setting or with an “ air tube ” headset .
4 Avoid using your cellphone in cars , trains , or elevators .
5 Avoid cordless phones , especially close to your bed while you sleep .
6 Whenever possible , connect to the internet using wired cables .
7 When using WiFi , connect only to download , then disconnect and disable WiFi .
8 Avoid prolonged or direct exposure to WiFi routers .
9 Unplug your home WiFi router at bedtime or when not in use .
10
Sleep as far away from wireless utility meters as possible ( i . e . smart meters ).
I wish you an amazing and joyful pregnancy and may you and your baby be blessed with heath and happiness .
