EMFs, Calcium Channels, And Kids | Dr.Nanda | Part 3

This episode isn't about avoiding technology. It's about understanding what it does - so you can decide with information instead of assumption.

In Part 3 of this conversation, Dr. Nanda breaks down the biological mechanisms behind electromagnetic fields, the connection between voltage-gated calcium channels and autism spectrum disorder, why Tylenol given alongside vaccines may impair heavy metal clearance, and what a root-cause approach to modern medicine actually requires.

We cover:

• What radio frequency waves do at the cellular level - and why the Timothy Syndrome connection matters
• How the WHO classifies RF waves and why legal precedent has made accountability nearly impossible
• The glutathione mechanism: Why Tylenol and vaccines together is a combination worth reconsidering
• Practical, measurable steps for reducing EMF exposure at home
• Why Dr. Nanda relocated his family - and what that decision was actually based on
• What medicine should look like when 50% of children are on daily medication

Dr. Nanda is a physician trained in conventional medicine who has spent years studying the root-cause mechanisms behind chronic disease. His approach is measured, evidence-cited, and consistently focused on awareness over alarm.

Transcript

Awareness Before Fear

Dr. Nanda 0:00

I don't mean to scare you, but I want you to become aware.

Reshma Vadlamudi 0:03

It's all about that education or informed decisions that you get to make.

Dr. Nanda 0:08

Doing things with awareness is 100 times better than just doing random.

Leaving The City For Lower EMF

Reshma Vadlamudi 0:16

Let's talk about the technology, the EMFs, and the modern living. Yeah. So you moved away from cities. Yes. Right? So was that intentional?

Dr. Nanda 0:26

Yeah, 100%.

Reshma Vadlamudi 0:28

So was it about food or is it about things like 5G, Wi-Fi, and EMFs?

What Counts As Radiofrequency

Beyond Heating: Policy And Lawsuits

Calcium Channels And Depolarization

Timothy Syndrome And Autism Links

Dr. Nanda 0:35

One of them was the EMFs, 100%. You know, there's no question. Okay. Now we can openly talk about it without getting harassed. So, you know, microwaves. We use microwave, right? So they are called radio frequency waves. They belong in the same category. So the 5G, 3G, 4G, and the Wi-Fi and the cordless phones, the microwaves, they use the same similar radio frequency waves. The EPA uh or whoever the governmental agency said that they are harmless. That was their statement. They are only harmful if they increase the temperature of the body. For example, like if I put my hand in the micro and somehow turn it on, this is gonna be cooked, right? It would then it's harming my hand or a tissue because it increases the heat. So that was their predisposition. So as long as there is no increase in heat, it is safe. So I think uh Bobby Kennedy with uh sued them and took them to court to say that it can have radio frequency quaves can have other physiological effects other than just heating a tissue, and they won finally. I think they won last year or sometime. Okay, so basically what they were trying to prove is there are other biological mechanisms other than just the increase in heat that it can affect our physiology. That was the first step. Okay, okay. So now going back to the physiology of how what I found on my minimal research was uh, you know, our cells have cell membrane and a cytoplasm. The cell membrane have channels, small, small proteins that let things go in and out and out. And there is such a channel called voltage-gated calcium channel, VGCC. So that calcium channel lets in calcium, and when it lets in calcium, it depolarizes. So there is a membrane potential also for the membranes. So the radio frequency waves, they open this calcium channel and then causes depolarization wave. Okay, so you may say, so what so what? What's the big deal? Okay, so now we study these calcium channels in depth. Yes, okay. So there is a gene, um there is a defect in that calcium channel gene. There are actually four diseases in there. One of them is called Timothy syndrome, okay, where the voltage-gated calcium channel is a problem. It opens up and depolarizes, and people usually die from heart arrhythmias, and eighty percent of them have autism, or they are on the autism spectrum disorder.

Reshma Vadlamudi 3:44

Okay, okay.

Practical Steps To Reduce Exposure

Dr. Nanda 3:46

So now we have this gene that is a problem with the calcium channel that opens longer, and 80% of them have autism. So so far we are okay to say that this gene causes autism, causation. Now, what if I tell you that the same calcium channel, if it is on radio frequency, if it is if radio frequency waves open this calcium channel, then that may increase your risk of autism. It would be so obvious, right? So when I saw that, I'm like, wow, this is crazy. So we used to turn off Wi-Fi in the night, we had an EMF blocker, you know, around our bed when we slept, and then uh we went and bought things that can measure EMFs, the radio frequency waves, especially, so that way we can stay away from a tower nearby. Uh so that's why we moved to a rural area where there is less radio frequency waves, less congestion of houses and things like that. And I have control of my house, and I can pull out the plug in the night because that's a closest source. The Wi-Fi is a closest source, and now everything is so much connected with like you can even turn on your um bulb from a phone, yeah, you can open a door, you can turn on or off your washing machine, and that is all a stress on the body, according to my study. You know, because if there is so much radio frequency waves in the house, then your calcium channels are open longer. That is shown in lab study. Nobody has proven how opening of calcium channel, either through radio frequency waves or Timothy syndrome, causes autism. We don't know that, but I don't care. You know, I mean it's it's a huge problem. I mean, it's a huge problem, and I think it's related to the immune system too, it's related to blood-brain barrier, the gut barrier, and everything, the radio frequency waves. You know, I feel more strongly about radio frequency waves than anything else. Okay, I'm not saying the others are good, I'm just saying if I have to weigh, you can't get a better like connection than the Timothy syndrome opening the calcium channel and the radio frequency waves opening the calcium channel.

EMFs At Home, Work, And Devices

Reshma Vadlamudi 6:16

So the radio frequency waves cells, where where do they come from? Like the microwaves, like all of the microwaves, cell phones?

Dr. Nanda 6:23

Cell phones, uh, internet, Wi-Fi, okay, cordless phones, oh every way of communication between the devices is radio frequency waves.

Reshma Vadlamudi 6:35

Okay, what about the medical devices?

Dr. Nanda 6:38

Do they have so medical devices, unless they have inbuilt Wi-Fi or connectivity, they shouldn't.

Reshma Vadlamudi 6:45

Okay.

Dr. Nanda 6:46

But when you say medical devices, you know, I mean I don't know what you mean.

Reshma Vadlamudi 6:50

I think it is about mostly about the then X-rays are totally different, but then like MRI is going to be totally MRI, yeah, but you won't you don't spend a lot of time in the MRI machine itself.

Magnetic And Electric Fields At Home

Dr. Nanda 7:02

There are studies that uh magnetic fields, so EMFs, electric, magnetic, and f is the radio frequency. Okay. So the magnetic fields, there are some studies if you live close by a high tension, like those big wires that carry huge voltage, you know, when current passes through a wire, it develops magnetic field around it, right? We know those. We know that uh from physics. Uh they have increased risk of childhood leukemia and all. So we know that. So magnetic fields. But the coolness of magnetic fields is if you put magnets apart, you know their force decreases exponentially. So as long as those magnetic fields are away from you, you're fine. Okay, but here is what happens in some houses, there are loops created. What happens is let's say the wiring and the earthing got connected to each other, then the electricity goes from this wire, and then instead of just stopping there, it can have another loop through a grounding wire and have a continuous loop, and that continuous loop creates a huge magnetic field. So that we need to be careful about, especially the wiring in the houses and stuff. And I think you can measure them and make sure that there is no magnetic fields in your house that can affect. Now, coming to electrical fields, I mean, you know, when you wear, like even if you hold a cell phone and actually use your electrometer, like you can measure electricity on your skin. So there is electricity when you handle devices like the iPad. I'm sure there is electric fields created in your hand and stuff, and that affects the nervous system a little bit. So, yes, in very subtle ways they do affect all of them affect.

Reshma Vadlamudi 8:57

Okay.

Dr. Nanda 8:57

I don't mean to scare you, I but I want you to become uh aware so we do with awareness rather than just randomness. Yes, that's true. Doing things with awareness is a hundred times better than just doing randomly.

Shielding, Canopies, And Measurement

Reshma Vadlamudi 9:12

Yeah, it's all about that education or informed decisions that you get to make. Right. Yeah. Yeah. So how do these EMFs show up in our daily lives, like in our homes, phones, or even medical settings? And how do we how can we protect ourselves or how should we be going about it?

Dr. Nanda 9:31

You know, EMFs are there everywhere. You know, especially at workplace, there's strong Wi-Fi, right? Because everybody wants a quick computer is like one terabyte speed and this and that, and they are using for gaming, and you know, you use so much radio frequency communication, you know. So see it that way. Now, what do we do? So, how do we protect ourselves from the microwaves, right? So, when you're trying to cook, let's say soup or chicken, right? You put it inside the microwave, you just turn it on for like two minutes, it's like boiling hot. How are you protected from those waves? So if you see the door of the microwave, it is glass, but you see the mesh. Yes. So the microwaves are usually larger wavelengths, from my understanding, and that is why even if the mesh is like like the microphone sort of a mesh, it reflects everything, it doesn't let it go through.

Reshma Vadlamudi 10:31

Okay.

Dr. Nanda 10:32

So if you see the window on the uh mic uh microwave, they have that mesh, metal mesh. So they also make this uh mesh in silver lining and copper lining. So if you are really sensitive to EMFs, you know, I have had patients and other people wear these hats where the cloth has entwined metal in it, silver or copper that will reflect. So, for example, you know, if I'm wearing that hat, at least whatever is coming from up, it is getting reflected off, not affecting my brain and things like that. We used to have a large canopy over our bed, so at least the eight hours we slept, we would be in what's called a Faraday cage. So we would put a thing like this and then under the bed too, so no waves are coming inside. Uh so you could protect yourself that way. Okay. Um, so uh that we can measure. Yes, you know, usually that's what I like. But there's also a lot of people say about some things, lockets and stuff, that they say absorb radio frequency waves. I haven't studied them, so I don't know if they work or not. But recently one of my friends was telling they did uh uh NST, which is uh neuromuscular testing, like where you let's say you know you have certain strength, and then you have that locket, and then you would be a little bit more stronger and things like that. So you could do some of those tests and stuff to see if it works for you.

RF Risk Classes And Legal Hurdles

Reshma Vadlamudi 12:10

Someone would were to start educating themselves and start implementing something from today. Should they first buy uh what how how do they start measuring these things? So, how uh did you say the EMF blockers are all these readily available on Amazon?

Dr. Nanda 12:27

And Amazon has actually EMF uh blocking um uh these uh canopies, they call them canopy. Okay, yes. You can you can buy it for Queen Bed or King Bed, and yeah, um they're made in European, one of the European countries. Okay. Um, they also have uh paint, I think, that has uh carbon or something that blocks EMF from outside.

Reshma Vadlamudi 12:54

Oh, okay.

Dr. Nanda 12:55

So you could paint and then paint whatever color you want. There are so many things we could do, you know. Yeah, once you put your mind to it, yeah, humans can do anything. We can go to Mars or you know, whatever we want to do. Come on, these are small, small things. Yeah. Uh you know, as long as we come together and put our vision, it's easy.

Reshma Vadlamudi 13:18

So, can you break down what EMFs are? I know you mentioned the definition of it, and then what which types you believe are the most harmful? Is there anything that's like that you don't have to really worry about, or something that's like alarming, or something like that?

Dr. Nanda 13:35

Depends on the context. But radio frequency waves, as I said, I think are not as benign as we think.

Reshma Vadlamudi 13:43

Okay.

Dr. Nanda 13:44

Okay, they are definitely not. So you may say, then how come nobody won any case or sued in the court and stuff? Okay, so we know WHO, World Health Organization, it classifies radio frequency waves as class two carcinogen. Okay, class one is a definite carcinogen, means it's proven it is a carcinogen. Class two is, you know, there's a little bit of doubt, but we believe it is a carcinogen. Class three and all means it's not a carcinogen, it's been studied. So there is at least 10,000 papers showing radiofrequency waves cause cancer.

Reshma Vadlamudi 14:22

Okay.

Environment, Soil, And First Principles

Dr. Nanda 14:24

So then how come the cell phone companies are not sued Samsung or iPhone or whatever? You know why? Because when you take a case, so let's say you have brain cancer, and then you want to sue the cell phone company saying the say radio frequency waves from the phone cause my brain cancer, I'm gonna take you to court. They will simply ask, um, which hand did you use your phone from? Or which hand did you use your phone with? You'll say, right or left, right? Something like that, and then they'll say, you know, in the booklet that they give in the user manual, it says use the phone two inches away, or something like that. Oh, so they are saying you're not following instruction, case closed. It doesn't even go to the biology or does it cause or not cause or whatever. That is why Bobby Kennedy had to take them to Supreme Court to just to say that it is not just the heat, there is other mechanisms that it can affect our body. Just to say that. Yeah, yeah, and also you cannot stop anybody from putting a cell phone tower anywhere they want. It's a federal law.

Reshma Vadlamudi 15:31

You cannot stop. Wow.

Dr. Nanda 15:34

So I think the one one case in the whole of the history where they said so the federal government says you cannot claim or stop somebody from putting a cell phone tower for human effects. But they said there are migratory birds, so that's why we don't want you to put a tower. That was the only case they ever won to stop somebody from putting a cell phone tower. Yeah. Was because I think it was migratory birds that saved them. So I'm telling you, it is so much craziness.

Reshma Vadlamudi 16:08

Yeah, so one thing is like does the EMF exposure uh do anything to the soil health?

Dr. Nanda 16:16

Good question. I don't know. Okay, don't know. It's uh good question, but I think at a subtle level everything is connected to everything. So my intuition says yes. Okay, yeah, because um you know it's all energy, you know, all frequency. We all have consciousness. Soil and the microbes have their consciousness, and yes, it does, but is it meaningful? Yeah, probably not, you know. I don't know.

Reshma Vadlamudi 16:48

Yeah, and especially maybe they might be evolving, taking into it. Taking into it. So, what do you think the future of medicine should actually look like?

Dr. Nanda 16:59

So, the future of uh medicine should look like where you don't need medicine, you know, yeah, that would be wonderful, in it where medicine is used very sparingly only when there is no other option. So, but now medicine, if like I I heard 50% of kids are on medicine. That's not that's not health. Yes, so come to the root causes, find the root causes, put our uh you know, intelligence and energy where it belongs, and then become healthy and use medicine, why not?

Vaccines, Fever, And Acetaminophen

Reshma Vadlamudi 17:39

You know, when needed. The kid that's maybe one month old or maybe six weeks old, they go get these bunch of vaccines, and then they have to put them on that tylenol back to back. And that I think that that is something that keeps disturbing me on a daily basis. I mean, I give them Tylenol too. Maybe when they go to 103 and it only happened with one of them and only once so far. I'm not like you said, I'm not against medicine. I would use medicine when it is needed, but getting all those vaccines back to back, and then when their fever goes up, and then they have to be on tylenol, like switching them every four to six hours.

Dr. Nanda 18:24

On Facebook, there was uh some thing going on where they said if your kid was ever was it was ever on tylenol and they were developed with autism, you can sue them. Oh so I went and uh looked into it, and even before that came up, I knew from my own research that when you take vaccines and you give Tylenol, your risk of autism, or for that matter, when you get a febrile illness and you take Tylenol or things like that, it decreases your capacity to detoxify heavy metals. Tylenol decreases it.

Reshma Vadlamudi 19:01

Yes, even when you are pregnant.

Dr. Nanda 19:03

Right, you know why. Yeah, so let's do the other way. When you get um when you take excess uh estaminophine, which is tylenol, yes, astaminophine toxicity, uh, you give, I think, acylcysteine as the thing to prevent the toxicity. Why? Because it affects the liver, especially the glutathione mechanism, which is very important to bind heavy metals and get rid of in the system, uh, are competitively inhibited when you take Tylenol. So I would really not take Tylenol or acetaminophen, you know, instead of using the brand name when you got when you give a vaccine shot because you're decreasing the ability of the body to excrete heavy metals.

Reshma Vadlamudi 19:56

I think most moms get comfortable using it because uh because I think you are not supposed to give motorin or ibuprofen until six months, right? Yes, and that's how they get and they need to give the Tylenol for every vaccine visit that they go to.

Dr. Nanda 20:14

I know, I know.

Seizures, Adjuvants, And Study Gaps

Reshma Vadlamudi 20:15

And and then they even forget that there is an option like motorin' to give, and then it's it's just a vicious cycle for most of them. And yeah, as you said, if they were to make the decision, if they were to educate themselves, and then they would you won't believe for my first kid, we pre-medicated with Tylenol before going to the vaccine shot.

Dr. Nanda 20:38

Yeah, so now I am the one telling that it decreases heavy metals. So, how do I deal with all the past mistakes I made that I myself am telling could lead to chronic diseases in the future? So, how do you resolve your past? It is very important because if your memory is full of regrets and sorrows, that's not well-being either. So you have to have a certain level of acceptance and humility.

Reshma Vadlamudi 21:14

Yes, you have to make peace with yourself, yes.

Dr. Nanda 21:17

So, and that's what I wanted to bring up here is you did it out of love. You know, I didn't want my kid to suffer. And the doctor said premedicate with Tylenol, so you don't get a fever. So I did my best with the knowledge I had at that time. I would not do it now. Yes, and then you also brought up 103 fever, and there is also a thing called uh febrile seizures, right? So if you look in WAIRES database, which is vaccine adverse event reporting system, I downloaded that uh many years ago, and then I looked, and there is so many seizures after vaccines within a day or two. But again, they'll say that is correlation, that's not. Causation. So if you think about it, you you brought up formaldehyde and other uh ingredients in the vaccine, right? Yes. Uh if you go to a pharmacology textbook, the textbook I read was CADZA for pharmacology, okay, in medical school. And you go to seizure and the description in the initial stages, they say, How do you uh instigate a seizure in a neuron by stimulating it? The ingredients they use to stimulate a neuron to fire, so they can test anti-seizure medications. Some of them ingredients are in the vaccine. So, how can you say that that does not cause seizure? You know, you can't. But do I have a proof causation? I don't, because I can't go into the body and go follow that molecule and see if it is causing the seizure. If your blood brain barrier is weak, especially with the EMFs and the food and the chemicals and the inflammation, and then you are getting the vaccines and all the heavy metals and the toxins are traveling and entering in your brain, irritating the brain and causing seizures. It is a possibility. I'm not saying it is, but it's very important to have a placebo without the adjuvant, because all these chemicals are part of the adjuvant.

Reshma Vadlamudi 23:19

Yes.

Dr. Nanda 23:20

So without the adjuvant, you need studies. And then seizures are also very common in kids with autism. I think 50% or 30% of kids on the spectrum have seizure disorder.

Reshma Vadlamudi 23:31

Oh.

Dr. Nanda 23:32

So it's related in all the ways, correlated in all the ways.

Reshma Vadlamudi 23:36

Yes. Then why when when we are trying to understand all these patterns, don't these patterns come under these observational studies and lead to more studies?

Patterns, Debate, And Open Dialogue

Dr. Nanda 23:47

You know, that is where we are maybe putting a blind eye. I cannot speak because I'm not a pediatrician. I've speak, I've spoken to a lot of pediatricians, but they don't come to the table and have a civil discussion.
