This home was right under the biggest power line in the city. This city had about 100,000 inhabitants, so the power lines were quite substantial.
At the time, BD didn't give the power lines a second thought.
The year went by and his son was doing a lot better, even at school, he got excellent grades.
Except the following year was not quite the same. His son started having trouble sleeping, was grumpy at school, anxious, missed days of school, his grades were slacking.
He was 'just not his normal self'.
'I truly felt at this point like I had failed my child, like I had failed my wife.'
At the time, BD was working for a company that made light bulbs that didn't 'dirty the electricity'.
Not for health concerns, but so the bulb remains cool, last's longer, and save's you money.
So when his son started having these acute and vague disorders, he began to investigate.
A light bulb went on in BDs head, ''his symptoms matched up with EHS, electromagnetic hypersensitivity. And I realized it was probably the power lines.''
His engineering background led him to research dirty electricity, to discover more about the things that are happening to and in the electricity that affect our biology, and how to make an electrical component set, to correct it.
"I spent the next decade of my life trying to save my child. And that has become, through personal experience, the main focus of my life in my 40s."
Today BD's son is a lot better, but this was not immediate. It has been a long journey, which has also led BD to do some remarkable work in the field of dirty electricity.
