Your child's brain isn't broken. It's on Fire.
A single suppressed enzyme may be the hidden match. The Iron Trap Hypothesis reveals how trapped iron and oxidative stress ignite brain inflammation — and how we can break the cycle.
You’ve tried everything including:
Behavioural therapy
Elimination diets
Medications.
But your child is still struggling (or worse, regressing!). This isn't your fault. And your child is not beyond hope.
The problem may be a SINGLE suppressed enzyme called Heme Oxygenase (HO-1) that, when suppressed, causes iron to trap inside the brain - igniting a cascade of inflammation, oxidative stress, and regression.
This changes everything we thought we knew about autism, ADHD, dyslexia, ODD, OCD, and more!
It's time to break the trap.
Our protocol is based on over 50 peer-reviewed and published articles in the world's top journals.

Why Some Kids Don't Collapse, But Yours did?
Same Toxins. Different Outcomes. Why?
Two families. Same neighborhood.
Same food. Same toxins. Same school.
But one child starts to struggle—
while the others are fine.
What’s the difference?
It’s not JUST what they were exposed to.
It’s how their body handled it. If your child’s system was already overwhelmed from:
1) poor sleep
2) missing nutrients, or
3) hidden stress
then even a "normal" exposure could push them into oxidative overload.
That’s what the Iron Trap Hypothesis uncovers. It’s not the toxin. It’s the trap.
We've discovered a way out, and you can too.
The Hidden Attackers: Why Your Child's Defense
System Is Overwhelmed
Modern children face an unprecedented barrage of environmental factors that can suppress their HO-1 enzyme pathway—the master regulator of iron metabolism and oxidative defense. While a healthy body can often handle one or two of these challenges, the combined assault can overwhelm a child's developing system and lead to significant neurodevelopmental delays.
Fluoride
Interferes with key enzymes and weakens mitochondrial antioxidant defenses
Aluminum
Amplifies oxidative stress, especially when iron is present
Mercury
Depletes glutathione and impairs Nrf2 activation
Cadmium
Induces lipid peroxidation and blocks antioxidant enzyme production
Lead
Substitutes for zinc in enzymes, damaging the blood-brain barrier
Chronic EMF exposure
Increases reactive oxygen species and reduces melatonin, impairing redox buffering
Glyphosate
Disrupts microbiome balance and mineral absorption, indirectly suppressing HO-1
High-fructose CORN Syrup
Drives insulin resistance and oxidative stress in liver and brain
Endocrine Disruptors
BPA, phthalates, and parabens disrupt hormones and detox pathways.
Chlorine and Bromine
Potent inhibitors of Nrf2 HO-1 pathway, largely through inhalation of pool vapour
Nutritional deficiency
Lacking key vitamins (B2, B6, B3, selenium, copper) impairs defense systems
Mold and Mycotoxins
This impair mitochondria and immunity, boosting oxidative stress and lowering HO-1 enzyme.

The Iron Trap Hypothesis
Discovered by NeuroSynergetics founder David Millar, the Iron Trap Hypothesis explains how suppression of the enzyme heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) leads to iron being trapped inside the cell's porphyrin ring.
This creates massive inflammation in iron-rich areas of your child's brain, actually predicting the behaviours you are seeing in your home
Worse still, ferroptosis amplifies itself by depleting the very antioxidants that should prevent it—like glutathione and biliverdin. This creates a vicious feedback loop, trapping cells in an infinite cycle of oxidative collapse and redox failure.
This may explain why so many neurodivergent children
Are hypersensitive to light, noise, and touch
Struggle with speech or motor delays
Melt down from minor changes
Can’t sleep or self-regulate
Have poor balance and spatial awareness
And why nothing has worked so far. Because no one’s addressed the redox bottleneck at the root. The iron slaves remain trapped, destroying iron-rich areas of the brain from the inside out.
A Full-Body Protocol to Resurrect Their Light
We don't treat your child—we resurrect them. This isn't about managing symptoms;
it's about freeing the iron and witnessing rebirth in your child.
Our preclinical protocol targets the five root causes of developmental stagnation
This isn’t a one-pill fix. It’s a step-by-step, full-body protocol to create conditions
for progress—not forcing behaviour training while iron is still trapped and the brain isn't ready for it.
And best of all? No prescriptions. No stimulants. Just
biology-based safe and natural tools you can start today!
Not a protocol. A resurrection. We focus on breathing life back into flesh and freeing the child from the tomb of destructive chronic neuroinflammation.
Upgrade – For serious families, Functional Doctors, and Health Clinics, upgrade to understand HOW to interpret the biomarkers and guide your patients back to homeostasis!

it began—with one determined parent, one child, and a radical breakthrough that
changed everything.
Coming Soon: Stories of Hope
Meet the Founder
David Millar
After two decades in corporate leadership—including sparking IBM’s global neurodiversity hiring initiative and spending a year on the board of Specialisterne Canada—I walked away from it all to follow a different call: to help families implement the protocols that helped me and my son when traditional medicine had nothing left to offer.
In a 2012 meditation, I received a message I didn’t understand at the time:
"Free the Iron Slaves"
Thirteen years later, the metaphors and the science finally converged—like two strands of DNA twisting into Truth. That’s when the Iron Trap Hypothesis was born. It had been gestating in an old journal, waiting for the moment I was ready. With the help of multiple AI systems, years of researching the top doctors and scientists in the neurodiversity field, movement and nutrition training - and a little divine guidance here and there - I translated that vision into something sacred: a new framework and an evolving healing protocol supported by devoted professionals to help families just like yours.
This isn’t just some 'theory', it’s my purpose.
Meet the Founder
David Millar
After two decades in corporate leadership—including sparking IBM’s global neurodiversity hiring initiatives—I left it all behind to follow a different call: to help other families implement the protocols that have helped ME and MY family where traditional medicine had failed.
In meditation in 2012, I was told: "You will be the one to Free the Iron Slaves."
Thirteen years later, the metaphors and the science came together like two strands of DNA… FINALLY. The Iron Trap Hypothesis was born—gestating in an old journal, and birthed with the help of multiple AI systems. This was bequeathed to me, and now I humbly bequeath it to the world—in the form of this white paper, the abstract hypothesis, and an evolving protocol designed to restore hope and coherence for families like yours!
This is more than just a theory. It’s my purpose.

Frequently Asked Questions
01. How is this different from everything else we’ve already tried?
Ans. Most programs focus on behavior, supplements, or isolated brain training. The Iron Trap Hypothesis goes deeper—addressing the root biological bottleneck affecting your child’s ability to detox, regulate, and develop.
This isn’t about masking symptoms. It’s about restoring coherence in the system—starting with redox balance and untrapping iron from the brain.
No gimmicks. No guesswork. Just science-backed strategies that work with your child’s biology.
02. Is this based on real science, or just another theory?
Ans. This framework is built directly from peer-reviewed research on iron metabolism, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation in autism. At its core is a well-documented enzyme—heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1)—which, when suppressed, can trigger cascading damage in the brain and body. The hypothesis has been published on Zenodo, reviewed by functional medicine professionals, and is being prepared for clinical testing in partnership with Canadian universities. It's not just a theory—it’s a systems-level explanation backed by biology.
03. Will this work for my child? What if they’re non-verbal or severely autistic?
Ans. Every child is unique—but the mechanisms we target are universal.
Whether your child is verbal or non-verbal, diagnosed early or late, this approach supports the biological foundation of development—from mitochondrial function to iron regulation to sensory processing.
We’re not promising a miracle. We’re offering a map—one that shows you where to start and how to rebuild.
Even small changes in redox balance can create real shifts in sleep, behavior, and connection. And for many families, that’s the breakthrough they’ve been waiting for.

and licensed practitioners only. The free white paper offers foundational insights and a preview of our system.
