If You Are New To This Blog
If you just stumbled onto this blog, you might be confused or overwhelmed by the content and subject. My background is not science and I know I felt this way at first. This was totally new information to me and it probably is for most of us. This is an attempt give the new visitor to the blog a starting point before delving into the articles.
There are three points of discussion on the blog:
-
WiFi in the schools and the constant use of wireless devices like iPads and laptops are dangerous to young children.
-
A hypothesis that Microwave Electro-Magnetic Frequency Emissions acting upon metals in the child’s brain in and out of the womb is the cause of autism.
3. A hypothesis that these emissions are being intentionally proliferated in order to intentionally adversely impact reproductive health.
WiFi In The Schools
Background
Increasingly, schools are utilizing technology to teach our children and that has mainly taken the form of desk-top computers. Within maybe the last three years, some schools (many private) require the use of lap-tops and the most recent technology are iPads/tablets and maybe iPods. At this point, you need to know that the technology has been transmitted through hard wiring. As technology changed, a new source of transmission has emerged with it, called WiFi. WiFi allows the use of the new devices, the tablets, to function without wires. This is done via EMF (Electro-Magnetic Frequency) signals. To transmit EMF, a router is required.
What’s the controversy?
Well, I didn’t know there was a problem with WiFi and the EMF radiation emitted until I started reading letters from numerous physicians, scientists, and researchers that ALL state there are health problems from WiFi in school environments. Here is the link where you can read the letters: http://www.wifiinschools.com/lausd-testimony.html
The letters are all addressed to LAUSD (LA Unified School District). The LA school board, even after receiving these letters, voted to go ahead with wireless (wifi) classrooms. This, after strong urging from MDs and scientist telling them to “opt for wired technology.” As I understand it, the teacher’s unions are resisting the school board’s decision.
The thing is, a wireless classroom means an unprecedented bombardment of EMF radiation, 6-7 hrs/day, 180 days/year, for the balance of our children’s school career. The radiation is transmitted from very powerful, industrial routers. Keep in mind that many of these schools have 1-to-1 plans, a device in every child’s hands with EMF transmissions at a level never before experienced. Children’s growing bodies make them even more vulnerable to these emissions than adults.
This has never, ever been done.
The Fullerton (CA) School District (FSD) has such a plan for WiFi expansion. Because we know that so many experts are telling us that WiFi does not belong in schools, we know that we must work to stop this. We are asking the FSD to back away from wireless technology and opt for a more secure and safe wired connection for our children.
Why do schools think that WiFi is OK?
I cannot answer this for sure, but here is my guess:
Tech industry-funded research says it is OK.
Research, based on thermal studies, says it is OK. Thermal effects are not the issue, Non Thermal EMF effects are.
Outdated laws have not adequately addressed the harm from EMF but the laws say that it is “OK”.
Other Sources of Information
As I started to look at the information, I realized that scientists have been looking at the effects of EMF for several years. There is a LOT of information. If you want to look further, this may be a good place to start: http://www.wifiinschools.com/index.html
Hypothesis: Microwave Electro-Magnetic Frequency (EMF emissions in the presence of metals is the cause of autism :
http://thefullertoninformer.com/carbonyl-iron-and-orange-county-the-autism-capital-of-the-state/
Once again, science is not my thing but I will try to give you an explanation of this hypothesis.
If you look at the CDC (Center For Disease Control) chart you will see the extraordinary rate of increase in autism in the United States. I always heard about this increase and it seems, more and more, I personally know of people whose children have autism or are on the autism spectrum. In Orange County, CA, the rate is now 1 in 63.
What is interesting is that right along with this growth in autism rate is a growth in EMF exposure. That hasn’t been talked about before, and it doesn’t seem like any research is looking at that, either.
The hypothesis puts forward the idea that in utero, the EMF radiation is hitting metals in the body (yes, we have metals inside of us) and when that happens it causes a demyelination of the protective coating of the neurons in the developing brain. This physical change, we believe, is manifested as autism. Babies yet to be born are not the only ones affected, there are the newborns, infants, and very young children.
This is a very simplified explanation of the hypothesis. The real and full explanation is here:
http://thefullertoninformer.com/carbonyl-iron-and-orange-county-the-autism-capital-of-the-state/
What is very puzzling is the number of educational and institutional organizations that have started up to deal with the aftermath of an autism diagnosis. What about the root cause? Why is the rate going up?
The alarming rate of autism is truly heartbreaking. We want to stop and eliminate these autism statistics. We at The Fullerton Informer want this hypothesis to be moved forward and evaluated by the scientific community and are working to that end.
One final note, I keep referring to “we” in my writing. It is actually Joe Imbriano, the parent of four young children that started this blog, who informed me of this issue. He holds Bachelor of Science degrees in Biological Science as well as Chemistry from University of California, Irvine (1989), and works as an insurance agent in Southern California. The autism hypothesis is Joe’s work. This he did with God’s wisdom, his $400 computer, his college textbooks, his education and his heartfelt desire to end what he truly believes can be prevented.
Joe loves children and that is why he is doing this, for his children and everyone else’s children. What nobler cause can there be?

I submitted this brief letter to the local newspaper here in Glendale….the Glendale News Press and they chose not to print it.
Collateral Damage
All the happy children in the (GUSD) Glendale Unified School District will soon be out of school for the summer. Looking forward to sleeping in, playing outside with friends, going to the pool or perhaps to the beach. Maybe some will enroll in a summer camp of some sort. Hope springs eternal for the youth, right.
Not so fast now. What the kids don’t know and I don’t suggest we tell them, and what 99% of the parents don’t know is that these same healthy and happy children & youth will be walking into a toxic radiation filled classroom in the fall. That is because over the summer contractors will be installing (WiFi) wireless routers in the classrooms of every public school in Glendale. Most would say that is wonderful, the convenience of it will be great and it will be a positive and energetic learning environment. All that is true, but some, maybe 3-5% will be effected in a negative way. It is a fact that non-thermal microwave radiation from cell phones, cell towers and WiFi routers will cause some to get headaches, feel nauseous, have difficulty sleeping and worse. Hay, that’s ok it’s just collateral damage. A few kids getting sick, so what. After all this is the 21st century and we certainly don’t want to stand the way of progressive technology……..do we?

Thanks for submitting that, Tony. It’s as if there is a massive blackout in the media and our elected officials that we count on.

Have you contacted any media outlets to see of they are willing to cover this issue?

Tony, thank you for your post. Every classroom in the state will have the white discs on the ceilings with the blue light glowing all of the time. There will be children as young as five years old seated in metal desks within 8 feet of these industrial strength routers, with microwave transmitters in their laps subjecting them to pulsed microwave EMF emissions at power levels that have been demonstrated to have potentially dangerous effects up to 6 hours a day, 180 days a year.
We have no choice but to expose what we believe are the dangers of the classroom application of this technology, the inadequate safety FCC standards that fail to address NON THERMAL EFFECTS and the despicable behavior of the school administrators and board members WHO REFUSE TO EXPOSE THEMSELVES TO THIS INFORMATION AND WILLFULLY CONTINUE TO IGNORE THE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE that we have placed squarely right in front of their very eyes AFTER REPEATED EMAILS, AND PRESENTATIONS AT SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS.
The only hope that we have is that some honorable, courageous men and women on these boards will break rank and take a stand against this public health disaster in the making. I have it on good authority that the School District administrators all the way up to the State level have been told to ignore this information. They have been told not to expose themselves to, not to accept this information, not to visit this website or discuss this information.
I firmly believe that WiFi, wireless tablets, wireless mouses, wireless home computers, wireless PC’s, wireless printers, blue tooth devices, wireless headsets, wireless keyboards, wireless phones, and cordless home phones are all making a lot of people very very ill. The emissions’ effects are cumulative. I believe that this is damaging the children’s developing brains in the wombs,
http://thefullertoninformer.com/carbonyl-iron-and-orange-county-the-autism-capital-of-the-state/
I believe that it is also damaging the fertility of young and old alike http://www.bioinitiative.org/media/press-releases/ ,
as well as creating full lobbies for the doctors whose patients have symptoms that are not in the flesh mechanic’s manuals written by the drug companies because in the minds of the FCC, the medical establishment, and the school district officials, NON-THERMAL EFFECTS of EMF exposures, like the tooth fairy, supposedly don’t exist. Why else would THEY BE COMPLETELY IGNORING this issue? They worship those who in my opinion are blindly setting the EMF emissions’ safety standards by completely ignoring NON THERMAL physiological interactions. The solution is simply more pills or injections for the unsuspecting.
If you took away everyone’s pills, cortisone shots, antihistamines, steroids, SSRE’s, sleep aides, stimulant laced sodas, energy drinks, coffee, booze, dope, drugs, and whatever else they are self medicating with for just one week, people would wake up to the reality of just how sick, fatigued, inflamed, or insomniac they have become and would finally come to grips with just how sick all of the EMF exposure is making them. The typical wireless workstation in an office is twice as dangerous as talking on a cell phone all day. So what do we do? We install them in our homes, and soon, our children’s classrooms.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. The emission levels will increase exponentially along with the corresponding systematic decline of public health. You have to wonder why this frequency doesn’t require a license but one is required to misdiagnose all of these bizarre ailments. No one is coming up a winner in this disaster except for the drug,the tech companies and the eugenecists.

I personally want to thank whoever was holding the banner at my daughter’s school this morning. We as a family, have been in discussion regarding this information.
We had no idea that there was a downside to all of these advancements, especially some so dire. We will continue to do our research and are grateful that some people have the courage and concern for others that I witnessed this morning.

There are many concerned parents out there much like yourself and we want to provide the information that FJUHSD and FSD are not providing the parents.
