So if you have an environmental toxin that you can't hear, you can see it. It's always there 24, 7. And it's increasing the oxidative stress response in your body. What you're going to have is more free radicals and the reduction of the antioxidant defense system. So any health conditions are going to be affected by this stress response. So in the end, is amplifying anything that you are suffering in your body and also is interfering with the treatments.

If you're a parent of a child with autism, you are being called to rise with love, courage and clarity. This journey isn't easy and most parents aren't equipped, but you can be. This podcast is your invitation to rise higher because how you navigate matters. I'm Len, and this is Autism Parenting Secrets, where you become the parent your child needs now. Hello and welcome. A big part of being an effective parent is awareness, understanding what's actually happening in your child's environment so you can make better decisions and take more meaningful action. And on this show, we've talked a lot about playing better defense, reducing toxins, and just creating a more supportive environment overall. But there's another layer here that most parents are missing. And so this conversation is about two things that really matter for you as a parent. Heightened awareness and decisive action. And my guest is Joaquin Machado. He's going to give you a very different lens on electromagnetic stress and what you can actually do about it. Welcome, Joaquim.
A
Thank you, Len. My pleasure to be here today.
B
Wonderful. Well, yes, this is a very intentional invitation because for anyone who's listened to this show, we talk about electromagnetic fields, EMFs, why it's an issue, and the different forms and different actions parents can take. And we met at the MAPS conference a few weeks ago, and I have a very, very healthy skepticism when it comes to companies that are are selling things that might help address this issue. And again, I think the reality is there's a lot of competition in this space and there's a lot of different ways of looking at what's happening and what can you do. So I just have a healthy degree of skepticism where I feel like the best thing anybody can do is to put more distance between themself and these stressors, whether it's radio frequencies, magnetic, electric, dirty electricity. So distance is always really powerful, but that may not be possible all the time. So to have something that might reduce or minimize that stress on us as adults, but especially our kids, I have some skepticism, but I know that there are really dynamite products out There and people like you who are trying to find solutions. We have a mutual friend in Peter Sullivan and Peter couldn't think more highly of someone other than you and your company. So I want to the listeners to be able to hear about your technology and what drove you to providing these types of solutions for families. So I'll hand it off to you about what brought you to the space.
A
Thank you.
B
Thank you.
A
Len. Yes, yes, I'm with you with this. I mean there is a common sense here of the use of technologies that it's all related to lifestyle habits and how we are using the technologies and when we are using. And when you make some small changes, changes in the way we use technology, you can reduce the exposure, you can reduce the risk. And for sure that's the first step. And the parents need to understand that these small actions don't look like much in the moment. But moving your phone off the nightstand, turning off the router at night and walking barefoot 20 minutes in grass is making a difference in long term. And our approach here with EMF is basically several steps that you need to take in order that you have what we call electromagnetic hygiene and understanding that emf, we have natural sources of EMF that we need, we evolve as a human being and as a biological species. We need this magnetism from earth and we need the natural radiation from the sun. And during the day and during the night we need the right exposure to light. There is basically no light. What we're trying to understand here is how we can coexist with technologies. Because now we have a cell phone. And the cell phone is something that if you're going to use it, you're going to be always constant stimulus receiving stimulus in your nervous system from these devices. The reason I entered in the field was 20 years ago. I'm an expert in electromagnetic fields, but especially in material science in nanotechnologies. But I received the hit directly because my wife, she suffered from this. She suffered from something that's called electro hypersensitivity. I know that Peter Sullivan talk about this, he also suffered from that.
B
Yeah, there's a small percent of the population, maybe not such a small percent, but at best guess what percent of the population do you think is qualifies like your wife?
A
Nowadays I'm sure that we are in the vicinity of the 10% of the world population. Yes.
B
Okay, 10%.
A
And there is also a group that are in the process of developing this hypersensitivity and it probably is 25% of the world population because electro hypersensitivity you can develop over time. And the kids are the first. They can develop this hypersensitivity because they are growing in an environment that are so polluted. So it's changing the way the nervous system is interacting with this. It's different with adults than with kids. The kids are more sensitive naturally. And this is the reason that we are so focused. And also we have a nonprofit that we are helping people that are suffering from these sensitivities. And like my wife suffered from that. And we already helped 1500 persons around the world in 16 countries suffering from electrohypersensitivity. And when you see it like that, you see that this is a growing problem that we can avoid, we need to address right now. And the way that we deal with this is like I said before, we need to set a specific way to use technologies properly. But we have two things that happening to our body. We have one nervous system stimulus. Your body is a bioelectrical system. It's like a battery. It's a living battery. Every day, every device we're plugging in creates an invisible bubble, alternated fields around the device and it's basically producing this stimulus to our nervous system. Nowadays we have TDH and we have different other adhd, we have autism. We have different conditions that are basically producing a nervous system stimulus all the time. This type of conditions can get worse over time because of this nervous system stimulus.
B
Can I pause there for a second? So I think what you're suggesting though is that with those conditions that you just mentioned, that while electromagnetic field type exposure may not be the root cause of what's causing that condition, and that's debatable, how big of a contributor. But at the very least, I think what you're suggesting is that the proliferation of the increased levels of EMF exposure of all kinds are making those conditions perhaps more prevalent, perhaps more extreme. So almost where it's kind of fanning the flames of the fire, it's making it more pronounced. Is that fair?
A
Amplifying? Yeah, amplifying health conditions, amplifying oxidative stress. And there is clinical studies around this. So if you have an environmental toxic that you can't hear, you can't see it, it's always there 24, 7. And it's increasing the oxidative stress response in your body. What you're going to have is more free radicals and the reduction of the antioxidant defense system. So any health condition is going to be affected by this stress response. So in the end, is amplifying anything that you are suffering in your body and also is interfering with the treatments. And that's the second thing that is happening. The second aspect of our body is we are absorbing noise. Because when we are interacting with these fields, in the end it's not the wave intensity because this is a very weak radiation. And this is one of the arguments that you will read in several scientific papers that they say this is non ionizing radiation. So you're fine. This is not producing any harmful effect because it's non ionizing. You need to be worried about just ionizing radiation such as X rays, gamma rays. And this cell phone radiation is just soft. That is true in one sense. And in reality, the people are not taking into account what is really producing these harmful effects is not the intensity of the radiation. It's the way that the radiation is being used to spread information. What they call telecommunication. So basically we are using electromagnetic waves and we are producing what is called modulation. The modulation is the technique that telecommunications engineering is producing. Everything 4G, 5G, Wi Fi, Bluetooth. In the modulation, what it's producing is this artificial quantum noise is a distortion in the space that affects the way that our space, Our molecules are basically being polarized. And when we polarize our molecules change the way that our cellular communication happen, Our brain activity happen. Change the way our body is acting. And the nervous system stimulus is producing an activation of the sympathetic nervous system. So the body's always in a fight or flight mode. So how we can address, if we need to hold the phones in our body, how we can address this issue? If we need to use our computer, how we can address this issue? We need to sit in a car, an EV vehicle. So the answer to this is the noise. It's everywhere, all the time. It goes beyond the proximity to the devices. So if you are in close proximity to any device, you are for sure exposed to the most dense field. What the engineering side say electrical fields that you can measure with meters. But even if you are away of the device and you are several feet away, you're still getting the noise. The distortion is in the space
B
and
A
over time this is going to be an issue. And the problem with this is unnoticed and it's changing the way your sleep quality happen. It's how good your body recovers and what is called the regulation. Actually, the hormonal regulation is also changing the focus capacity and it can also produce. This is important that some people are suffering nowadays in early stages, what is called tinnitus. The tinnitus is a ringing in the ears and the Tinnitus is related to also brain fog. For instance, we have our kids, their kids are using Bluetooth headphones. So they are basically putting the electrical stimulus direct to their heads, to their brains, and it can amplify the tinnitus and in some cases actually can be the cause of the tinnitus. So we found a solution that is basically filter out the noise. We can filter the noise and we can actually depolarize these bubbles that we are interacting with. So we have a material. I developed this material that is I found properties in gold nanoparticles. After an extensive research and four years research, we found that the gold nanoparticles has a specific behavior when you combine. It's a behavior that's called a ferromagnetic behavior and is capable to depolarize this artificial polarization that's producing the noise. So the effect is that you can interact with the radiation without the noise. You still need to be aware of the nervous system stimulus from the field. When, especially when you, during the night, you are using any device, you should keep your bedroom as a sanctuary that it's not with any device, even if it's clean, even if you are using these filters that we produce because we are just taking the noise but not the stimulus. So if you reduce the exposure, direct exposure to this during the night and you are using the filters during the day, you have the perfect environment. But still there is something missing that normally we are not understanding that natural emf, as I say in the beginning, is essential to our nutrition. Basically our basic nutrition starts and get activates. Also vitamins are and enzymatic molecules in our body depends on the amount of energy that we are receiving from sun. So when the people are in indoor environments, they are not basically interacting with the amount of electromagnetic energy from sun that is required from some activations. It's also with the grounding of it. So there is a group of things that you need to do in order that you recover an electromagnetic hygiene state. And with people with any health condition, this is essential. So use the technology to filter out the noise, keep awaiting, keep distance during the night to all of these devices and these healthy habits of tech use and these electromagnetic hygiene habits of natural go back to nature.
B
Got it. Yeah. No, that's very comprehensive and you've touched on a lot of themes that we've talked about before in terms of trying to minimize your exposure to the stimulus itself. The fields, the electric field, the magnetic fields, the radio frequencies. So what you're introducing though is yes, continue to do all that have good hygiene. But there's this concept of this artificial quantum noise that's kind of an extra layer. And that, again, I think, is what's unique about how you're providing solutions. Because you could be doing all those other things, but there may still be this, for lack of a better way of describing it, this noise that's happening that you can actually then address that as well to create a even more healthful environment.
A
Yeah. And this is something that also we need to address to anyone that are listening to us now is something that is wrong with some specific approaches to be protected from EMF is the shielding paradox. The shielding paradox, you try to isolate yourself, you try to use specific textiles and fabrics that are basically blocking the radiation. And when you block radio frequency with shield and paint fabrics, Faraday cages, you reduce the exposure to this nervous system stimulus. But at the same time, you're losing the natural interaction with emf and you're losing this specific natural flow that is in our space. But also these textiles can produce interference in the space and can increase the noise, and the noise remains. So you're blocking the natural electromagnetic fields. This is not my claims, the statements, actually there is a scientific paper around this and they always say you need to be aware that when you are shielding, you are producing this paradox instead of that we can filter. So this is our approach of this. But it is essential to understand that the root cause of this is the noise. So the reason that most of the people suffering from electro hypersensitivity are not being recovered right now, totally recovered, and they are basically losing quality of life even when they are not using technologies, is because they are not filtering out the noise. So the noise, where is the noise? The noise is in every space because the electromagnetic waves are just bouncing the space. WI fi is bouncing the space. And WI FI exposure, this is something very important because people are so worried about 5G cell phone towers. And it is true, it's a source of pollution producing harmful effects. But when people need to be aware that the WI fi router in your home, it's even worse because you are in close proximity to this source of pollution. And where you have this type of WI FI routers, extender, WI FI smart assistance, even if you want to use it, where you're placing these devices, because you place these devices away from anyone in their home, you put it in the garage, in the ceiling, you can use it during the day, you can switch and turn off during the night. And if you filter the signal, so you are being clever with this. So there is a specific way that you can use, you can start still using this type of technologies, but with specific conditions. And this is the type of things that we are saying. It's not only using the right technology, it's also understanding why you need to do these changes.
B
Yes. And I think what you've covered a lot of ground in what you've just shared and again, I think you're highlighting something that's very unique in terms of something that may not be on people's radar. And you'd mentioned about shift shielding and the like. You know, I think when it comes to playing defense, there's a lot of strategies. You can shield, you can try to harmonize, you can filter. And again, I think for any parent, what's going to be in your bag of tricks? Probably some degree, all of those. But I think what you're indicating is that, and this is where I was hoping we would go, is that if you're just doing one strategy, let's say, let's just say shielding, it may not be enough and it may actually be counterproductive. Just like companies that sell things that you kind of put on your cell phone, like a sticker or something of that nature. Again, whether it's sound technology or not, sometimes that gives parents a false sense of confidence. Oh, I have this thing on my phone, therefore I can put it to my head, I can use it constantly. And so that's where some of the devices or things that are being sold could be helpful. But again, the key is as a parent, you want to have constant vigilance and do the important things like distance, like turning things off. But if you are going to have a strategy to defend against what we're all exposed to, the non native emf, then you could shield, you could find something that might harmonize. But where you're suggesting your technology is doing something very different, which is eliminating this artificial quantum noise.
A
Yeah. And let's explain in a different angle also what happened with the noise. It's. The noise also is in our wiring system in the electrical grid. So we are getting noise from the electrical grid. It is called dirty electricity or dirty power. And you know, because you, I, you are aware of the dirty electricity and what's happening here is we are interacting all the time with any devices using electricity. We can think that our kids are going to be free of any electrical device because they are using all the time these devices, like any electrical noise that we're getting from these power lines that you can filter the noise. Now we have the same solution from the telecommunication noise, the noise level. So the noise is an issue that also reduce the quality of technologies. Actually the durability, the tech durability is reduced because of the same noise. This is the issue with that. And that's the reason that in electromagnetic compatibility in telecommunications engineering, they are trying to reduce the noise. So the noise is always the issue with any device. If you have more noise, you reduce the quality of the signal. So the signal to noise ratio, it's important. But the same happened with our body. When you lose memory, when you reduce the capacity to remember things. And we're talking about kids, they are learning new concepts every day. So this learning process requires a specific brain activity that needs to function in a way that is building a new network. So what is now a day is. It is understood, is when something is missing in our nervous system produce an interference is basically what is really happening. When we lose a memory, when we have some neurological problems is basically an interference. And the interference is basically noise. If you go deeply and you understand how our cells are communicating. It's basically an electrical system. So the noise is the reason that we are basically having what is called premature aging. In the premature aging, it's the quality of our system to behave naturally. And this is the problem that we are getting now. Because we have a new generation of kids that are growing in an environment and they have a compromise, the immune system. Because the immune system requires this natural cellular communication. And if you have noise, you're interfering with this. What's happening nowadays with 5G and hyperconnectivity is we are increasing the noise. And the signal is the communication between cells is being reduced. And that's the. The thing that we need to really protect ourselves. We need to protect ourselves from the noise. Because in the end, the stimulus, if you are aware of the distance, if you reduce exposure for things that you don't need it, it's fine. You are reducing what your nervous system is going to activate in moments that you don't need the activation of the nervous system. So the importance of this is understanding. So for instance, the brain activity of a kid, you have what is called the alpha beta band in the brain activity. The alpha beta band is the specific frequencies in your brain that requires a good learning process. But when you have this noise and actually it's measured, and you can measure the noise and you can measure the frequencies, basically it's inducing different frequencies to the gamma activity in the brain. So it changing the way the cycles in the brain happen. So then you have certainly like as ADHD behavior in a kid. And then when you, when you treat the spaces, and I saw it every week, you treat the space of the kid and the kid start to behave more natural, more quiet, he's more conscious, he's with more insights, he's thinking better, more clarity. So the parents think, okay, basically he was healed with the technology of Joaquin. But no, he was not healed. Basically the problem was the noise in the space. And your kid is fine, he's not basically having any adhd. So nowadays have environmental doctors and integrated doctors that start to understand is a mixed diagnosis of several health conditions. Sometimes because we are not understanding the sum of the symptoms that people are suffering. It's not the disease they think they have. Sometimes it's just a response of the body to these stress environments. So it's really interesting when you start to really treat the spaces how suddenly the people recover from things they are suffering from. Years. I have persons that they say to me, I have years with headaches, every week headaches and suddenly I don't have any headaches. And the same happened with tinnitus. And we have clinical studies with tinnitus. And it's crazy what's happening with the tinnitus. And now it's being reduced suddenly because they're using this. We have solution for the cell phone. You will have filters for the cell phones. But what's happening with the filter to the cell phone is because we are reducing the noise around the cell phone. The cell phone use less energy to connect. And we have actually from there is a laboratory from FCC that do and run some. They did some tests in our technologies and we reduced the amount of emission of the cell phone. So the cell phone is working more effectively and we're reducing basically the amount of radiation you're absorbing. So even when you are not blocking the technology because you're filtering out, you are reducing the amount of nervous system stimulus because the fields get weaker because they are using less energy to function the devices. This also to understand that we are producing clean technologies and we're producing clean environments. This is what we are trying to educate people is you can actually coexist with technologies using this filtering approach.
B
Great. Yeah. No, what you're articulating though goes back to a recurring theme, which is it's not about the condition adhd, autism, whatever the case may be tinnitus, it's what's the root cause that might be occurring. And for some people, this artificial quantum noise, if that's filtered out, could be incredibly beneficial. Right. Cause for that person, that might be a key root cause, one of the few root causes that might be contributing most to their dysregulated state. And again, it's going to manifest very differently for different people. But that's the way when you're talking and I'm hearing this, I would boil it down to, hey, electromagnetic magnetic fields in general, you want to reduce your exposure. And what you're articulating is that there's a specific component of this which most people are missing, this artificial quantum noise. And if you actually address that, not only do you get the benefits from not being exposed to it, but then your devices might work more efficiently and therefore, let's just say emit less. And therefore you're reducing kind of the overall load you may be experiencing just by this very different way of filtering out the noise. Is that, is that a fair way of looking at it?
A
Yes, yes, absolutely.
B
And
A
it's also understanding that when we have several environmental toxins in our space and we need to, to take care of each toxin in order to really be healthy and understanding that our health is not only related to what we are taking in food, the supplements and everything, it's also what's happening in our environments. And the light regulates our biology. And this is well documented because the light is producing also how our circadian rhythm is, our biological clock is functioning. And that is related to hormonal production and is related to several aspects that get activated and the cortisol and the melatonin and everything. So we know for sure this is happening because of light. But the thing is electromagnetic waves is light just invisible light. So in black, magnetic waves are regulating our biology too. So what we need to do is just pull these electromagnetic waves from artificial sources to behave like natural waves. And we can do it filtering out, depolarizing. And that's the problem. What we are talking about, the other approach that is not shielding the approach of the harmonizers. And and I need to also say that with the harmonizers. We have several studies around harmonizers, stickers, pendants, pyramids and stones. The people use several type of approaches. There's several approaches that they are not really doing anything, but there are specific approaches in harmonizer are good, are producing good responses in the body and can work to enhance, for instance, the bioelectrical system can add some negative ions to the space. People can get relief from some sensations on the skin and they can feel better from some different cardiovascular response because enhance the heart rate variability. There is some specific harmonizer they can do that. But we need to keep in mind that basically they are masking the problem. So if you take a pill to the headache, you're not really addressing the root cause. So this is the problem with the harmonizers, but at the same time not saying they are not good, you can use it. It's not the same with the blocking approach for a microwave, I strongly recommend don't use it because you will produce more problems over time in your body and also to your neighbor in the neighborhood because you are basically producing more interference in your surroundings. On the other hand, the isolation and the shielding approach for electrical systems is very good. It's very important. You can have a very good electrical grid with isolation or wiring system. So that's the clever way to use the approach of or shielding, but for this specific purpose. So sometimes is use the tool for the right use. And that's what we need to understand. And for shielding is that electrical grid?
B
No, I appreciate that. And yeah, unfortunately it is involved. Right. In terms of. There's a lot of different types of stressors. There's a lot of different approaches to perhaps addressing. And they all may have some utility in a place. So I appreciate you kind of laying that landscape. But I guess the bottom line, this discussion, if you really want to get to the root of what might be going on, this provides parents a different way of looking at it, a different stressor, unfortunately, another stressor to be aware of. But with that awareness, that heightened awareness, yeah, you have the ability to take some action. And so I know your products are geared for eliminating the artificial quantum noise in very elegant ways. Something that you could put in on the back of a cell phone, Something you could put in a wallet, something you could put in your room. I know you have a variety of ways of doing that. And again, as a parent of a child with a complex condition, if you're listening, that's you have one of those kids again, I think what Joaquin teed up at the outset. Not only that, hey, there's a subset of the population that is just electro hypersensitive. And those are the people who can feel it. The rest of us, we can't feel it, but it's affecting us nonetheless. So if you have a child, they may be electro hypersensitive, but even if they're not, they're much more likely to be susceptible to harm in some way unless we do play better defense, which is why this awareness is really important. And again, there's always something you can do to create a more Healthful environment. And yeah, rather than putting a band aid or deflecting, if you can eliminate and get to the root cause of it, that's obviously a more powerful strategy. But the overall theme, though, that you brought up of our dysregulated nervous system, that is something that's relevant for all of us, all of us parents, all of our kids. And it seems as if this state of dysregulation seems to be increasing exponentially, whereas maybe there was a smaller percent of the population that had a dysregulated nervous system. Now, for a lot of factors, including the proliferation of EMFs, you know, the vast majority of us are walking around with a dysregulated nervous system. Would you agree?
A
Absolutely. Absolutely. We have so much stimulus nowadays, and this is our challenge every day. And what we need to do is reduce the amount of electrical stimulus that we can give to our nervous system and help us to recover a much better resilience. Because what we need is resilience. This brings me to a second subject about our technology. I was looking for a solution to filter out the noise. And this takes years and years. And actually we did a crowdfunding around this scientific project because everything started as a scientific project. We run out of funds personally, in my life, and I have to go to look for crowdfunding to, to find actually a good formulation for this. And we did it. But the good thing that we found is these gold nanoparticles, where we are using in this special formulation of spiro systems, is also full of benefits. And the properties of these gold nanoparticles is increasing the magnetic resilience in our cells, in our body. And this brings me to the subject of when you use the material that we have, the specific disc that we have that are filtering out the space, if you place the disc, for instance, close to any foot, it will produce a food preservation and increase the quality and reduce the oxidative response in the foot. But that translates later on to studies in clinical trials we run in water and we run in different aspects in the microbiome, in the microbiome responses. Now we are finding that the exposure to this material is producing this interaction with this natural field from gold nanoparticles and is helping kids that they have guts issues. And so we have a solution that is also helping with specific problems in the gut brain axis and how also the microbiome is signaling and also is connected to the quality of the signaling in the cells. So we are bringing back the resilience, the magnetic resilience and this is connected to EC water. EC water, it's structured water. So we found that these gold nanoparticles in this formulation produce a super easy water. And we have also scientific studies on this. And that's the reason that now we're using this technology to regenerative agriculture. And we are just seeing the results in the agriculture because we are using this super easy water for that and also for cows and also for chicken. And what happens is we're reducing the stress in animals and it's happening with the human body. So we have now a solution that now we know that we can use also to increase now this dysregulation, our capacity to regulate ourselves faster when we have a material close to our body like spiral technology. So the spirit of filters can also help you with that, right?
B
No, that's great. Yeah. And obviously I know parents who are listening, their ears are perking up when they hear about how something might help with gut function, how something might help with neurological function. Right. Reducing the stress, the symptoms that are labeled adhd, the lack of concentration, just the overall. Yeah, for lack of a better word. Those things that we see that are the absolute hallmarks of a dysregulated nervous system. Anything that can help with that and help a child be more regulated. That's a powerful move to make. And I know you mentioned about your spiro technology for parents to find out more, to understand the options and what solutions you offer. Where should they go? Would it be spiroemf.com or, you know, tell people where they can go for more information?
A
Yes.com and they can go there. And we have different case studies and they can see what they can use and how they can start. It's a combination of different ways that you can start. And normally what we say to any person specific for parents, it's look, anything that your kid take in their hands that in terms of devices, you need to filter out these devices because it's the most important. Just, just start there. It's, it's important. And then the bedroom. The bedroom, it's very important because if you ensure that the kid is really having a good quality of sleep, you are, you, you are basically, I mean, you, you have a bed, very good ground to really restore the health of your kid. And it's very important. So this is the two things. You have the bedroom and any device they are holding in their hands.
B
Right. And you're not going to be able to eliminate devices. Kids are using technology. It's part of how it's wildly different now than it was when we were growing up. So again, if your child's going to be using it, the key is can they use it in a safer way in a way that helps with them maintaining a regulated nervous system. And that's where again, this discussion kind of reveals things that aren't fun to hear. Right. That there's another stressor perhaps to worry about. But the reality is there's always things you can, you know, actions you can take to create a more healthful environment. And in this case, yeah, I think kids are going to use technology, so let's help them use it safer. And I appreciate you shedding light on this is definitely something that wasn't on my radar and I think I'm pretty well versed in this space. But I definitely know that parents listening are aware of protecting the sleep environment and doing what you can to reduce the load there, quality sleep and all the benefits that come from that is just way too important. So this is something that perhaps is an opportunity for you to create an even safer environment. So yeah, there'll be links in the show notes where people can go. But Joaquin, I really appreciate you sharing all this and also just for your commitment to finding solutions, I know your wife was the inspiration. But there's a lot of kids and a lot of families that are going to benefit from the research that you've been doing. So thank you very much.
A
Thank you, Len. Thank you for the invitation. And we are here to help people, as many people as we can. And this is a very important topic for us. Us is touching our hearts and we are seeing family change completely just when they're treating the spaces and how the dynamic change even in relationships because the people are more angry more. The irritability of people sometimes are beyond that you can understand. And this is an electrical stimulation they are receiving that producing this irritability. So it's also with the kids is so much stimulus. So I hope that the people are listening, they can do these changes, they understand these also the light, nutrition. I was saying just taking outside your kid 10 minutes outside to play, to see the sky, to do a sky gazing, to reset the body in terms of these indoor environments. I mean there is a lot of things they can do simple and they can change their life. Just go back to nature, be aware and know that you can coexist using this type of technologies that we are producing now.

No doubt. Yeah, you're just articulating that the actions here aren't difficult, aren't complicated, aren't necessarily crazy expensive. There's a simple things you can do to again, help us just operate the way we were designed to operate, which overall is that we're designed to operate in a better state of coherence. And there's just so much that's happening that's getting in the way of that. So you're providing the way of addressing a root cause that's probably not on a lot of people's radar that might be creating that distortion and that lack of coherence. So, again, the actions here are pretty straightforward and simple. And again, appreciate you sharing this with our listeners. Thanks so much, Joaquin.

Theme: Understanding and mitigating the impact of electromagnetic stress—specifically "artificial quantum noise"—on children with autism, and actionable steps for parents to create healthier home environments.
This episode explores a growing but often overlooked stressor for families navigating autism: electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and the "artificial quantum noise" produced by modern technologies. Host Len Arcuri welcomes Joaquin Machado, an expert in EMF and nanotechnology, for an in-depth discussion on what this noise is, how it affects sensitive populations (especially children), and realistic ways parents can reduce its impact. The conversation is practical, candid, and rooted in both personal experience and emerging science.
What is it?
Beyond traditional EMFs (radio frequencies, dirty electricity), Machado introduces "artificial quantum noise": a form of environmental distortion created by the way telecommunications (WiFi, Bluetooth, 4G/5G) modulate electromagnetic waves.
Why does it matter?
Unlike visible or audible toxins, this noise is omnipresent, undetectable to our senses, and persisting 24/7. It increases oxidative stress, hampers the body's antioxidant defenses, and can amplify existing health issues or interfere with treatments ([00:00]).
“If you have an environmental toxin that you can't hear, you can't see it, it's always there 24/7 … It's increasing the oxidative stress response in your body. So any health condition is going to be affected by this stress response. … It is amplifying anything that you are suffering in your body and also is interfering with the treatments.”
—Joaquin Machado [08:42]
Amplification of Challenges:
EMFs may not directly cause neurodevelopmental conditions, but pervasive exposure can worsen symptoms, escalate oxidative stress, and decrease a child’s ability to regulate their state ([07:59], [12:19]).
Nervous System Effects:
Constant artificial EMF exposure keeps the body in fight-or-flight mode, disrupts cell communication, and impairs learning and memory formation ([12:19], [21:35]).
“…We have a new generation of kids that are growing in an environment and they have a compromised immune system because the immune system requires this natural cellular communication. And if you have noise, you're interfering with this.”
—Joaquin Machado [21:35]
Common Strategies:
Creating distance, turning devices off at night, grounding, and shielding (e.g., Faraday cages, special paints) are useful defensive tactics ([03:21], [16:50]).
The Shielding Paradox:
Over-shielding can block natural EMF exposure (from the earth and sun) which the body needs, and may even worsen the issue by increasing artificial noise ([16:50]).
Gimmicks & “Harmonizers”:
Machado cautions against over-reliance on stickers or wearable harmonizers, stating these might mask symptoms but don’t address root causes—though some can mildly enhance bioelectrical function ([30:26]).
"The problem with the harmonizers…they are masking the problem. ... You take a pill for the headache, you’re not really addressing the root cause."
—Joaquin Machado [30:26]
Joaquin’s Technology:
Machado discusses a filter developed using gold nanoparticles that ‘depolarize’ or neutralize artificial quantum noise without blocking beneficial natural EMFs ([12:19], [16:50]).
How It Works:
These filters can be used on individual devices (cell phones, laptops) and in specific rooms (especially bedrooms), effectively rendering the artificial noise inert without stopping technology use ([40:57]).
Additional Benefits:
“…These gold nanoparticles…are also full of benefits. … Is helping kids that have guts issues … helping with specific problems in the gut-brain axis and how also the microbiome is signaling.”
—Joaquin Machado [36:33]
Start Simple:
Lifestyle Habits:
“Small actions don’t look like much in the moment—moving your phone off the nightstand, turning off the router at night, and walking barefoot 20 minutes in grass is making a difference in long term.”
—Joaquin Machado [03:22]
"It's always there 24/7...It is amplifying anything you are suffering in your body and also is interfering with the treatments."
—Joaquin Machado [08:42]
"When you block radio frequency with shield and paint fabrics, Faraday cages, you reduce exposure ... but you're losing the natural interaction with emf... These textiles can produce interference in the space and can increase the noise, and the noise remains."
—Joaquin Machado [16:50]
"If you really want to get to the root of what might be going on, this provides parents a different way of looking at it, a different stressor ... if that's filtered out, could be incredibly beneficial."
—Len Arcuri [29:02]
"Just go back to nature, be aware, and know that you can coexist using this type of technologies that we are producing now."
—Joaquin Machado [44:37]
This episode shines a light on a subtle but impactful environmental stressor—artificial quantum noise—offering both a compassionate understanding and practical solutions. Machado’s message is clear: awareness plus small, practical changes can dramatically improve family well-being, especially for children with autism.
“There is a lot of things they can do—simple, and they can change their life.”
