This interview with Peter Sullivan and Dr. Martha Herbert was recorded in November 2018 at the annual Academy for Comprehensive and Integrative Medicine (ACIM) convention in Orlando, Florida. It was only recently released on the site due to concerns about the controversial nature of the topic. Now, with six years having passed since the interview and changes in the landscape due to COVID, we felt it was important to share this video on the topic of autism and dirty electricity.
Sullivan, a software engineer in Silicon Valley in the 1990s, struggled with electromagnetic hypersensitivity, which led him to become knowledgeable on the subject. He eventually discovered toxic levels of mercury in his system, which prompted him to take time off from work in 2005 to focus on his health and his children’s health. Despite detoxing, he continued to deteriorate until he learned about dirty electricity and addressed his exposure, leading to a significant improvement in his health.
Dr. Herbert, a pediatric neurologist, began working with autism after discovering white matter abnormalities in MRI scans of autistic children. She took a whole-body approach to autism, looking at the environmental factors that could contribute to the condition. Her research led her to adopt a systems biology approach to autism, viewing it as a complex web of interconnected factors rather than isolated components.
Herbert’s work has shown that the metabolic processes in the brain align with the network disruptions seen in psychiatric illnesses like autism, schizophrenia, and depression. This systems biology approach highlights the interconnected nature of these conditions and the importance of considering the whole body in developing treatment strategies. The amount of network disturbance in some cases has been found to be directly related to the level of mitochondrial dysfunction.
The TRANSCEND2 program at Harvard, led by Herbert, focuses on brain research using MRI, MEG, and EEG to study neurodevelopmental disorders like autism. Herbert’s hypothesis is that autism is a result of environmental factors rather than something individuals are born with.
By studying babies from the womb to early infancy, Herbert and her team have found predictive EEG data that can determine outcomes in children. Implementing whole-body approaches, such as avoiding toxins and allergens, has shown to reduce the risk of autism in predisposed babies.
Herbert believes that factors like mercury, EMF, glyphosate, and processed foods contribute to brain irritability in children, leading to conditions like autism. Sullivan emphasizes the importance of addressing environmental factors first, starting with reducing EMF exposure.
The CHIRP study aims to understand the impact of environmental stressors on chronic diseases in children. Herbert and Sullivan advise parents to prioritize environmental changes over behavioral therapy in treating autism, starting with reducing EMF exposure for better sleep and overall health.
