Dr. Carlos Loredo Ritter: A Life in Pediatric Neurology and Electromagnetic Radiation Research
My name is Carlos Loredo Ritter. Born in Mexico City into a family predominantly composed of lawyers, I was drawn to a different vocation, inspired by the exceptional work of my relative, Dr. Arturo Loredo Abdala, a renowned pediatric internal medicine specialist. This inspiration led me to embark on a journey into medicine in 1991 at the National and Autonomous University of Mexico.
Immediately after medical school, I was accepted as a pediatric resident at the National Institute of Pediatrics. My passion for pediatric neurology grew, and after completing my training in pediatrics, I continued my specialization in pediatric neurology at the same institution. Thirteen years of rigorous training and dedication culminated in my becoming a Pediatric Neurologist.
Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with patients suffering from epilepsy and autism. Early in my practice, I began noticing a recurring observation made by the parents of my patients: a potential link between the use of electronic devices and the worsening of their children’s neurological symptoms. This observation did not come from medical journals or forums but directly from the experiences shared by these families.
The Inception of a Purpose-Driven Life
A breakthrough moment came with a particular patient whose condition provided clear evidence that external electromagnetic impulses were affecting his brain activity. Through video electroencephalograms (EEGs), I recorded instances of man-made frequencies interfering with the brain’s electrical activity, causing partial slow waves followed by epileptic spikes. This discovery was both startling and enlightening.
With guidance from Dr. Silvia Munoz, a respected neurophysiologist, I began to pay closer attention to previously overlooked parts of the EEG. This detailed analysis led to the realization that an “electric toxin” was damaging the brain’s electrical activity. This marked a significant turning point in my career.
My growing interest and expertise in this area led to an invitation to the United States to lead research on the effects of electromagnetic radiation and the biochemical pathways of restoration during sleep. Recognizing the need for a deeper understanding of physics to fully grasp this subject, I undertook additional studies under the guidance of Professors Ramamurti Shankar and Leonard Susskind through their online programs.
My research efforts have been extensive and challenging. One major focus has been developing a protocol to monitor patients using video EEGs and polysomnograms in both EMF-shielded and non-EMF-shielded rooms. This work, funded entirely by personal resources, has been both time-consuming and financially demanding.
In addition to this research, I have created protocols for scientifically conducting EMF home assessments, using physics equations to analyze the readings. Despite the progress made, the complexity of this research requires collaboration. I invite those with a passion for understanding and addressing the impacts of electromagnetic fields on human health to join me in this endeavor.
My life’s work is driven by the goal of providing real answers to the effects of EMF exposure on human health, particularly its impact on brain activity. This mission is more than a professional pursuit; it is a dedication to improving the lives of patients and their families affected by these invisible forces.
In conclusion, my journey as a Pediatric Neurologist and researcher has been one of continuous learning and dedication. The challenges are significant, but so is the potential for groundbreaking advancements. I remain committed to this mission and welcome collaboration from others in this vital field of study.
