Baby receives cocktail of seven vaccines

Baby receives cocktail of seven vaccines, loses ability to speak, recovers with homeopathic shock remedies

(NaturalNews) Baby Irene’s dad agreed with his homeopathic physician, Hannah Eagle, about the dangers of vaccines. He certainly did not plan on vaccinating his 4-month old daughter. On December 4, 2011, however, under a tremendous amount of pressure from the family pediatrician, he and his wife acquiesced and allowed a single injection cocktail of seven vaccines, as follows: DPaT (3 vaccines: diphtheria, pertussis, tetnus), HIB, Pneumococcal, Polio, and Influenza.

Baby Irene stopped communicating
Once home, she had a fever that eventually passed. The parents then began to notice that the ordinary babbling, cooing, baby talking, and so forth had completely ceased. Their baby could no longer talk! She would open her mouth and appear as if she were trying to speak, but could only manage to stick out her tongue. “She is not talking at all,” reported her terrified father. “It seems to me when she tries to make noise, all she does is stick out her tongue. Her tongue is out a lot more now and she is chewing her thumb and moving her tongue around a lot in the process.”

Racked with guilt that they did not stand up to their physician and insist on their rights to care for their daughter’s immune system as they saw fit, they rushed to Dr. Eagle in search of a homeopathic remedy.

Homeopathic shock treatment and vaccination remedy
Two days after the shot, Irene received a low dose homeopathic remedy for shock. The following day, she got a high dose shock remedy, followed by a remedy commonly used for vaccinosis. The next three months were a roller coaster of improvements and regressions as Irene received homeopathic doses of each of the seven vaccines that caused the damage. This is an excellent utilization of the homeopathic principle that like cures like.

As of February 8, 2012 baby Irene has returned to normalcy. She giggles, coos, screeches and gurgles again, much to the delight and relief of her parents. Irene’s father wishes to maintain his anonymity, which is understandable. He feels grateful that, given the unfortunate circumstances, he and Dr. Eagle managed to help Irene dodge a major bullet.

Dr. Eagle, who works with patients across the world, urges parents to educate themselves about the risks associated with vaccination and helps them boost their children’s immune system naturally.

One in 88 children is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder.

During pregnancy and the first two years of life, the brain is extremely vulnerable and should be protected as much as possible. Medication during and after pregnancy, especially vaccination, is very toxic to the young brain. In the book Autism, Beyond Despair there are several examples of this.

Toxic substances affect babies in surprising ways
Dr. Tinus Smits, a world-renowned doctor who practiced homeopathy, once saw a dramatic improvement in an autistic girl by the detoxification of a nose spray, xylometazolin, which the mother had used regularly during her pregnancy. Prescription and over the counter medication, exposure to chemical substances that are foreign to the human body and fundamentally toxic, has become more and more the cause of illness. This is not only true for vaccines, but also for many of the treatments prescribed by modern doctors.

Police takes away babies and gives vaccine shots!!! America, the country of the brave and free???

Hospital workers call police to seize newborn baby, throw momma out of the building, assault child with dangerous vaccines

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

(NaturalNews) Another shocking case of tyrannical, overzealous social workers and hospital staff has unfolded in Pennsylvania, where a mom who just gave birth in an ambulance to a healthy baby girl was threatened by a government social worker and accused of not allowing her child to receive “medical treatment.” (A claim which is factually false.) In reality, the new mom, exhausting from giving birth in an ambulance, was merely asking questions and trying to determine how her newborn daughter was being treated by hospital staff.

A social worker named Angelica Lopez-Heagy continued to threaten the mom, who persisted in asking polite questions to try to determine what she was being accused of. In response, the social worker demanded, “Since you’re not going to cooperate, I’ll just go and call the police and we can take custody of the baby.”

The social worker then demanded that the mom and dad sign a “safety plan” that would contractually bind them to whatever medical procedures the hospital tries to push on all newborns, including multiple vaccines. The term “safety plan” is really just a linguistic mind trick for the agenda of damaging newborns with vaccines so that they become repeat customers of the medical industry. Vaccines, as NaturalNews readers well know, routinely cause kidney damage, neurological damage and gastrointestinal damage, all of which produce huge long-term profits for hospitals, doctors and drug companies.

When the mom said she wanted her attorney to look over the document before she signed it, the nanny state social worker invoked her previous threat and called the police. The police then took custody (kidnapped) the daughter while hospital workers claimed the newborn was suffering from “illness or injury.” (Completely fabricated to justify their kidnapping.) Then they forcibly vaccinated the baby without her mother’s consent! This was all “approved” by the social worker, Lopez-Heagy.

Note that even though the hospital stole her baby away, if the baby ends up being vaccine damaged, the entire burden of long-term health care costs for that damage will fall squarely on the mother! In fact, the mom might even be accused of “child abuse” if the vaccine damage side effects in any way resemble physical abuse (which often happens, as vaccines can cause bruising, swelling and brain damage).

Hospital workers then proceeded to kidnap her daughter and kick the mom out of the hospital, taking “possession” of the newborn child and forcing the mom and husband to sleep in the Wal-Mart parking lot, only allowing her to re-enter the hospital every three hours to breastfeed (and I’m shocked they even allow breastfeeding. Isn’t that illegal RAW milk?).

This is how parents are treated in America today: Like criminal dogs whose only function is to give birth to a new “litter” of victims for the state.

Most reasonable people would agree that parents have the right to ask basic questions about the medical care their children are receiving, but increasingly across U.S. hospitals, asking questions is perceived as a challenge to medical authority, and these power-hungry, ego-tripping social workers — who would feel right at home working for the TSA and reaching down your pants to intimidate you — then feel the need to make others suffer as an expression of their own power.

Increasingly, they call C.P.S. or the local police. They have children kidnapped and taken away. They force potentially deadly vaccines on children. And they even have police bring guns to hospitals to force children and teens to be injected with deadly chemotherapy agents against the wishes of their parents! (http://www.naturalnews.com/035290_pediatricians_chemotherapy_medical_…)

This is the new medical police state in America. Parents are routinely criminalized for simply acting like responsible parents, even while the state now routinely kidnaps infants and children and then subjects them to dangerous, even deadly medical procedures.

We’ve seen it time and time again. Here are just a few of the cases NaturalNews has reported on over the last few years:

State-sponsored medical terrorism is real
Spread the word. All across America, we are under assault: Farmers, parents, protesters and more. The government says it owns not just your own body, but even your children! And if you don’t do what the government says, they march you away in handcuffs to have you tortured in their jails and prisons (http://www.naturalnews.com/035208_James_Stewart_torture_county_jail.h…).

This is state-sponsored medical terrorism. And it kills far more people than any other form of terrorism, even including 9/11.

We’ve got to put a stop to this terrorism. The social worker in this case should be arrested and charged with kidnapping. The hospital staff who participated in this charade should be indicted as co-conspirators in the felony crime of kidnapping. The person who injected this newborn baby with vaccines should be arrested and charged with felony assault with a deadly weapon.

It’s time to put a stop to runaway government tyranny. It’s time to arrest and prosecute CPS workers for abusing parents’ rights, and it’s way past time to demand a patient’s bill of rights that protects medical freedom, both inside and outside the hospital.

Spread the word. Read NaturalNews. Join the revolution and resist tyranny, my friends, or you and your family may be the next target.

Nurse cuts of finger of three month old baby.

Florida mom suing hospital after nurse severs her infant daughter’s pinky finger
by Jonathan Benson, staff writer

(NaturalNews) When Veronica Olguin brought her then three-month-old daughter Selena to the hospital back in October to be treated for a high fever and bronchitis, she had no idea that the young girl would end up leaving with nine fingers instead of ten. WTSP 10 News in Tampa, Fla., reports that Emily Anna Stutz, the nurse that had been caring for young Selena, sliced off the girl’s pinky finger while trying to remove a bandage holding an IV in place.

“There was blood squirting everywhere,” said Veronica in a recent interview with WTSP. “I held her head close to my chest [...] she was red, she was screaming. And I looked at her hand (and) she didn’t have her finger anymore. I started screaming, ‘Her finger! Her finger!’ and that’s when (the nurse) panicked and she threw her scissors and started screaming for the other doctors. And they came in and they picked the finger up from the floor.”

You can watch the WTSP video report with Veronica Olguin at:

http://yourlife.usatoday.com

After the incident, which occurred at the Heart of Florida Regional Medical Center (HFRMC), young Selena was immediately sent to Tampa General Hospital where surgeons attempted to re-attach her finger. But according to reports, that effort was a failure because the nerve endings in Selena’s severed finger were so small that getting them to successfully graft back into the nerves in her hand was impossible.

Veronica has since filed a lawsuit against both HFRMC and Nurse Stutz for emotional and psychological damage caused by the incident, as well as for the developmental and general human functioning problems Selena will likely face as she grows older. Meanwhile, many others are wondering how Nurse Stutz managed to slice off Selena’s finger in the first place, since the texture and resistance of tape is obviously much different than a human finger.

Such careless negligence appears to be on the rise throughout the conventional medical system, though, as overall quality of care declines and costs rise. According to Liam Donaldson, the World Health Organization’s (WHO) “health czar,” one out of every ten hospital patients today is a victim of a serious medical error, and one out of every 300 dies from a medical error (http://www.naturalnews.com/033167_hospital_dangers.html).

Benefits of breastfeeding ..

( وننزل من القرآن ما هو شفاء ورحمة للمؤمنين) الإسراء 82

Breastfeed your baby even if with your eye-drops … !

There are many benefits of breastfeeding , some of them will be discussed here :

For the mother:

- Protects against post-partum uteritis.

- Helps stop bleeding resulting from delivery, thus preventing loss of extra blood..

- Helps uterine restore normal size and place quickly after delivery.

- Prevents the recurrence of pregnancy with a rate of more than 98%, without contraceptives.

- Protects the lactating mother against breast and uterine cancer.

For the baby:

Breast feeding protects the baby from viral infections, as it contains immunity agents.
· It protects against food allergy, as it is free of protein that causes such kind of allergy, and which is usually found in extracted and manufactured cows milk.

It prevents shortage of calcium in the baby’s blood, thus helping to construct strong bones.
It returns with spiritual and psychological benefits to the baby, as it helps build a well composed, righteous and straight personality, and strengthens the spiritual and passionate links between the baby and the mother.
As revealed in a research published in Pediatric Clinics of North America in February 2001, the mental abilities of babies who receive breast feeding from their mothers are stronger and higher than otherwise, and the longer the period of breast feeding, the higher the mental abilities are.
It was shown that mother’s milk also provides protection against cancer. After showing that the incidence of the lymph cancer observed in childhood was nine times greater in formula-fed children, they realised that the same results applied to other forms of cancer. According to the results, mother’s milk accurately locates the cancer cells and later destroys them. It is a substance called alpha-lac (alphalactalbumin), present in large quantities in mother’s milk, that locates and kills the cancer cells. Alpha-lac is produced by a protein that assists in the manufacture of the sugar lactose in the milk.
In addition to some practical benefits of breast feeding. The milk is always ready with steady and appropriate heat, fresh, sterilized, digestible and saves money and time !
Researchers indicated that breast feeding alleviates the baby’s fear of needle pricks and helps as analgesic during painful operations such as circumcision.
A new theory emerged in the recent years indicating that the protein in cows milk can cause a biological reaction that destroys the pancreatic beta cells excreting insulin. This theory is supported with the high rate of the presence of cow milk proteins in the serum of children with diabetes in comparison with study group of non-diabetic children.
But why is it that cows milk causes this harm before the second year, and then disappears after this period?
In a study conducted in Finland in 1994 and published in Auto-immunity Journal, the authors state that the protein of cow milk passes in natural form through the lining membrane of digestive system which is not yet fully grown. As the enzymes of the digestive system cannot break the protein into amino acids, the protein of cow milk enters as a complex protein and works as a catalyst to produce immunity agents in the body of the child.

New references reveal that enzymes and the lining membrane of the digestive system and kinetics of digestion and absorption do not attain complete function except in the second year after delivery.

Many studies stress on breast feeding in the first two years

In a very accurate scientific reference, the Quran determines the period of lactation with almost two years. In verse 14 of Surat Luqman: “And We enjoined on man concerning his parents- his mother bore him in weakness upon weakness, and his weaning was in two years.” (31:14)
الآية رقم (14) في سورة [لقمان]: (ووصينا الإنسان بوالديه حملته أمه وهنـًا على وهن وفصاله في عامين)

It is understood that lactation for two years is not a must, but a complete period; “Mothers shall breastfeed their children for two whole years, for such as desire to complete the term ” ( 2:233)

( وَالْوَالِدَاتُ يُرْضِعْنَ أَوْلاَدَهُنَّ حَوْلَيْنِ كَامِلَيْنِ لِمَنْ أَرَادَ أَن يُتِمَّ الرَّضَاعَةَ ) – البقرة 233.

Premature Cord Clamping

Premature Clamping of the Umbilical Cord may Result in Brain Damage to Newborns

Posted by Dr. Mercola | March 08 2003

A Refutation of ACOG’s Report on Cerebral Palsy
By George M. Morley, M.B., Ch. B., FACOG Cordclamping.com
A major error in modern obstetrical practice is routine premature clamping of the umbilical cord. Thousands of obstetricians have been taught that immediate cord clamping is an acceptable, standard obstetrical procedure, and millions of newborns have been subjected to it. Cerebral palsy (CP), along with other injuries, can result from premature cord clamping.
A task force of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) issued a report on Neonatal Encephalopathy and Cerebral Palsy; the chairman states: “Scientific evidence shows that neonatal encephalopathy and cerebral palsy are largely not caused by labor and delivery events.” The president of ACOG says the report is useful for educating doctors, parents and jurors and that “adverse outcome has nothing to do with medical negligence or error.” The report offers doctors legal care; for patients, there is little hope, the causes of brain damage are “unpreventable.”
In relation to the report, the January 2003 “Obstetrics & Gynecology” (“Green Journal”) published a “knowledge survey” of OB’s [1] on the etiology and pathophysiology of neonatal encephalopathy and its relationship to CP. “Don’t know” was the most frequent response to the multiple-choice questions. The task force chairman also admits that the “true genesis … of these injuries” has not yet been defined; he also states “most cases of CP are the result of multi-factorial and unpreventable causes that occur either during fetal development or in the newborn after delivery.” In fact, the true genesis of these injuries is clearly illustrated in the correct answers to his questions:
“In cases of intrapartum asphyxia sufficient to result in cerebral palsy, injury to organ systems other than the brain … results from redistribution of cardiac output in an effort to achieve brain sparing.”
In other words, “In cerebral palsy cases that follow intrapartum asphyxia, the brain is the last organ to be damaged by deficient cardiac output.” This is a classic description of the sequential organ injury to kidneys, liver, lungs, heart and then the brain, caused by hypovolemic shock. Intrapartum asphyxia is most frequently due to cord compression (e.g. tight cord around the neck) that impedes cord venous blood flow (the child’s oxygen supply) and shifts fetal blood volume to the placenta; the child is typically born limp and pallid blue–in shock. Asphyxia is coupled with hypovolemia. Such neonates seldom exhibit signs of brain damage immediately, they do not convulse at birth.
ACOG Practice Bulletin 138 (B138) states:
“Immediately after delivery of the neonate, a segment of umbilical cord should be doubly clamped, divided and placed on the delivery table pending assignment of the 5-minute Apgar score.”
ACOG’s routine treatment (B138) of these depressed neonates is immediate cord clamping to obtain cord blood pH studies. The child’s only functioning source of oxygen–the placenta–is amputated together with 30 percent to 50 percent or more of its natural blood volume. Total asphyxia is imposed until the lungs function, and the depressed (asphyxiated, hypovolemic) child starts its extra-uterine life in hypovolemic shock.
Immediate ventilation may not reverse the asphyxia if there is not enough blood volume to perfuse the pulmonary blood vessels adequately; thus the immediately clamped neonate is very prone to hypoxia and ischemia–and to hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). An Apgar score of less than seven at five minutes is an indicator of future neurological defect [2].
By relieving the cord compression, (unwinding the cord from around the neck, loosening the true knot) placental circulation reverses the asphyxia and placental transfusion rapidly reverses the hypovolemia. Pulmonary resuscitation with the placental circulation intact will usually result in a pink, crying newborn (with an intact brain) within five minutes. Transfusion of oxygenated placental blood that increases blood volume by less than 50 percent prevents hypoxic, ischemic injury.
The brain of the immediately clamped, depressed newborn is very probably uninjured at birth. Deterioration into encephalopathy is certainly multi-factorial. Deficient brain perfusion (ischemia) due to hypovolemia, low cardiac output and low blood pressure is the central factor. Hypoxia and acidemia due to poor lung perfusion are additional factors as is renal shut-down.
Hypoglycemia probably results from inadequate perfusion of the liver, causing deficient conversion of glycogen into glucose. The areas of the brain that are the most metabolically active suffer first–from hypoxia, acidosis and loss of nutrients, all compounded by inadequate tissue perfusion. Depending on degree, neuron necrosis may involve the whole cortex, or it may be very limited to one of the brain-stem nuclei or the germinal matrix. These lesions are, in essence, infarcts, necrosis resulting primarily from inadequate tissue perfusion.
The multiple factors involved are NOT, as ACOG claims, unpreventable; they can all be avoided completely by not clamping the umbilical cord.
“Another thing very injurious to the child, is the tying and cutting of the navel string too soon; which should always be left till the child has not only repeatedly breathed but till all pulsation in the cord ceases. As otherwise the child is much weaker than it ought to be, a portion of the blood being left in the placenta, which ought to have been in the child.”
–Erasmus Darwin, Zoonomia, 1801 [3]
ACOG recommends and teaches immediate amputation of the placenta at birth to obtain cord blood studies for medico-legal documentation; the results have no bearing on child care. B138 was first published in 1993. Every cesarean section baby, every depressed child, every premie, and every child born with a neonatal team in the delivery room has its cord clamped immediately to facilitate the panicked rush to the resuscitation table. The current epidemic of immediate cord clamping coincides with an epidemic of autism.
By adopting Erasmus Darwin’s resuscitation method for all births and by obtaining birth blood studies from a heel stick, healthy babies with intact brains would be the routine and lawsuits would disappear. However, OB’s “don’t know;” ACOG and the “Green Journal” teach them not to know. For the trial lawyers, it is essential that the “true genesis” of cerebral palsy remains unknown, because that “true genesis” (B138) is a standard of medico-legal care; thus, no obstetrical fault exists; the medico-legal professions are at fault.
ACOG’s “cases of intrapartum asphyxia sufficient to result in cerebral palsy” do not, therefore, necessarily need to end in “unpreventable” tragedy. Fetal cord compression, such as occurs in cord prolapse, produces definite signs on the fetal heart rate (FHR) monitor; these are late FHR decelerations and prolonged FHR decelerations. If these are not corrected, and if they are neglected and progress, fetal brain damage will eventually occur, rapidly followed by fetal demise. Prompt diagnosis, prompt delivery and resuscitation with the placental circulation intact will result in a normal child (see Figure B).
This pathology and its correction by means of physiology can be demonstrated at any “normal” delivery as follows:
The scalp FHR lead should be left attached, the child delivered gently into a warm blanket, and the umbilical cord immediately closed between finger and thumb about 10 centimeters from the umbilicus.
The FHR will decelerate quickly to about 60 bpm and the cord vein between thumb and umbilicus will empty completely into the child. If the child does not breathe or cry, the heart rate will remain low, and the color will change from purple-pink (normal at birth) to pallid blue (vaso-constriction and asphyxia). Eventually, the normal child will gasp and start breathing due to high CO2 levels; the heart rate will increase, the color may improve, but the pallor will persist.
Few midwives or obstetricians will be able to observe, without interference, a deep, prolonged FHR deceleration on a non-breathing newborn for a period of 60 seconds. Common sense will soon release the finger and thumb. Watch the cord vein distend while the child receives the placental transfusion. When breathing starts, the pallid, purple child will turn a ruddy pink, the deep, prolonged FHR deceleration will rapidly recover, and in a minute or two the Apgar score will be 10 or higher. This ruddy-pink, squirming, bawling child with an intact cord has a normal blood volume.
On the other hand, some, following the ACOG and trial lawyers’ protocol B138, may immediately doubly clamp and cut the cord (distal to the compressing thumb) and send a sample to the lab for cord blood gases; this child will be pale, somewhat slow to respond and may have some retraction respiration–this “normal” child is missing a large portion of its normal blood volume.
In each scenario, a deep, long FHR deceleration “indicating asphyxia sufficient to cause brain damage” will be recorded on the monitor strip. In the first scenario, the effects are temporary, completely reversed and of no significance; in the second, one may have to wait until the child is in grade school to prove that the prolonged hypovolemia and subsequent anemia did not affect the integrity, growth and development of the child’s brain [4]. If the five-minute Apgar score is below seven, the neurological prognosis is poor [2]. Match the FHR tracing with that in Figure A.

Figure A

Figure B

Figure A [5] shows the effects of immediate cord clamping and imposed pulmonary asphyxia on a monkey. Figure B [5] shows the results of fetal asphyxia (generated by maternal anoxia) followed by resuscitation without cord clamping–with the placental circulation intact. Monkeys treated according to Figure A developed cerebral palsy after a long FHR deceleration. The monkey in Figure B was normal after a long FHR deceleration.
Immediate cord clamping (ICC) at birth was used routinely in these primate studies to produce asphyxia and brain damage; ICC is used routinely on human newborns to obtain cord blood specimens for medico-legal use.
In Figure A, very low blood pressure results in ischemic brain damage. In Figure B, blood pressure (blood volume) maintains brain perfusion despite hypoxia.
Professor Peltonen [6] studied (fluoroscopically) the effects of cord clamping before the first breath and noted virtual cardiac collapse due to decreased venous return until blood flow through the lungs occurred. He concluded:
“On the basis of these observations, it would seem that the closing of the umbilical circulation before aeration of the lungs has taken place is a highly unphysiological measure, which should thus be avoided. Although the normal infant survives without harm, under certain unfavorable conditions the consequences may be fatal.”
It would appear that Peltonen immediately clamped the cord of an already compromised neonate that promptly had an irreversible cardiac arrest, and he decided never to do it again; ACOG Bulletin advises ICC on all compromised neonates. Most normal infants do survive ICC without apparent harm. Placental transfusion [7] is generated mainly by gravity or by uterine contraction. At normal delivery, the contraction that delivers the child may simultaneously squeeze into the child an adequate blood volume; some transfusion may occur in the second stage of labor when half the child is in the vagina while the placenta is being compressed.
If the child is delivered from the squatting position, downward, gravity will effect transfusion before a fast clamp can be applied. However, as long as pulsations are present, blood is flowing into the placenta, and return flow into the child is not guaranteed, especially if the vein is compressed. Natural cord closure does guarantee a blood volume optimal for survival [7].
Preemies, cesarean deliveries and especially the cord-compressed neonates are very likely to develop pathological hypovolemia following ICC. Natural cord closure will not heal brain damage incurred before delivery such as is seen in long decelerations caused by abruptio placenta; however, placental transfusion in such cases may halt progression of the injury.
Regarding cutting a cord that is around the neck:
“Let the loop be loosened to enable it to be cast off over the head … [or] by slipping it down over the shoulders. … If this seems impossible, it should be left alone; and in the great majority of cases, it will not prevent the birth from taking place, after which the cord may be cast off. … Should the child be detained by the tightness of the cord, as does rarely happen, … the funis may be cut. …
” Under such a necessity as this, a due respect for one’s own reputation should induce him to explain, to the bystanders, the reasons which rendered so considerable a departure from the ordinary practice so indispensable. I have known an accoucheur’s capability called harshly into question upon this very point of practice. I have never felt it necessary to do it but once. … The cord should not be cut until the pulsations have ceased.”
–Charles D Meigs, M.D., 1842 [8]
One hundred and fifty years ago, ICC was regarded as malpractice. No publication since has contradicted Professor Meigs or Erasmus Darwin.
During 2002, ACOG published two articles [9,10] on HIE. Of the 284 neonates studied, all had confirmed HIE, all except six had cords clamped immediately as cord blood pH values were recorded on each child, and the six without cord pH values almost certainly had ICC to rush them to resuscitation. Therefore:
All 284 neonates in the studies had ICC.
Every neonate was hypoxic until the lungs functioned.
Every neonate was deprived of up to 50 percent of its natural blood volume.
Every neonate was deficient in oxygen transport capacity.
Every neonate was subjected to hypoxia and ischemia (hypovolemia) after birth.
All 284 neonates developed HIE after birth.

One of the studies reported synchronous damage to the heart, liver and kidneys that is typical of injury occurring in hypovolemic shock. Thus ACOG has published virtual proof that ICC causes brain damage; absolute proof will be provided by a study on similarly depressed neonates that are resuscitated with the placental circulation intact and none develop HIE (see Figure B).
The birth brain injury litigation bonanza for trial lawyers began with fetal monitoring in the 1960s; it also spawned the neonatology and perinatology professions. Expert detection and handling of fetal distress and fetal resuscitation by specialists were expected to prevent brain damage and subdue the litigation crisis. After more than 30 years of intensive study, investigation, publication, education, litigation and billions of dollars down the drain, the “Green Journal” now publishes a “knowledge survey” revealing that most practicing obstetricians “don’t know” much about neonatal brain damage.
As mentioned above, the author of the report admits that the “true genesis” of these injuries is not defined, and ACOG reports that most brain damage is “unpreventable.” The members of the study may be indoctrinated with the ACOG dogma that the cord clamp is harmless and that placental transfusion is pathological. ICC is the true genesis of HIE and the subsequent cerebral palsy; ICC is preventable, as is CP.
Parents, patients and practicing obstetricians suffer lifelong misery from this failed multi-factorial and multi-professional enterprise that was supposed to save newborn brains. The medico-legal professions, perinatal specialists and obstetrical academia continue to benefit. The lay public has no problem comprehending that immediate amputation of a functioning placenta is harmful to the newborn child.
Not one publication over the past 200 years, peer reviewed or otherwise, endorses the practice of immediate cord clamping; all relevant articles and opinions condemn it, yet ACOG and trial lawyers promote it to practicing obstetricians for medico-legal protection. ICC has become standard practice, and obstetricians who want to treat the child correctly are placed in the dilemma of choosing legal self-protection and chancing newborn injury, or losing legal protection by violating the standard of care.
To end this dilemma and the medico-legal terror and suffering, patients should demand, and practicing obstetricians should provide, an informed consent document stating that the newborn’s cord will not be clamped until all pulsations have ceased and until the child is breathing and pink and that resuscitation, if needed, will be done with the placental circulation intact.
A scalp or heel blood sample at birth to confirm oxygenation status is just as valid as a cord blood sample. The practicing obstetricians may thus be able to restore some semblance of dignity and respect to their profession by discarding and ignoring the advice of their tort counselors, academic peers, publishers and sub-specialists. The scarcity of injured newborns and empty NICU’s may have a very negative impact on various parties; the abundance of healthy babies will be welcome news to everyone else.
My letters published in the “Green Journal,” June 2001, asking ACOG to provide an informed consent document for B138 remain unanswered, as do formal complaints regarding B138 to ACOG and the AMA. These parties have remained silent, and they have the right to remain silent; their silence speaks louder than words. ACOG’s report on cerebral palsy is either a colossal error or a grotesque attempt to cover up B138.

Dr. Mercola’s Comments:

Clamping the umbilical cord too soon after birth seems like an unnecessary shock to the newborn’s system. A more naturally oriented maternity care provider may be more likely to consider the consequences of immediate cord clamping and should discuss the options with you.
The care you give to your child, both before and after delivery, will greatly influence your child’s future health. Prior to birth, the unborn child is a rapidly developing, aware being, and factors experienced early on, such as a mother’s nutritional habits, leave lasting imprints on the child. To find out more about how your unborn child is affected by decisions you make during pregnancy, I highly recommend the book The Secret Life of the Unborn Child, by Thomas Verny, M.D.
Attachment Parenting: Instinctive Care for Your Baby and Young Child, an outstanding book that I also highly recommend, explains the importance of adopting an instinctive style in caring for your newborn, including valuable aspects such as breastfeeding. The book also delves into the topic of how being a responsive parent and following your natural instincts can enhance your child’s well being.
Paying attention to your nutritional habits, which will likely be passed on to your child as he or she grows older, and also minimizing your exposure to environmental toxins like pesticides during pregnancy will ensure that your child has a fair chance at a healthy life.

Abortions–Oh Allah. What crime did I commit that my mother murderd me???!!!

Some Methods of Early Abortion:

Term “early abortion” is used to describe an abortion performed within the twelve weeks; the term “very early abortion” is used to describe an abortion performed within the first seven weeks since a woman’s last menstrual period. When used on a developing baby, any method will result in its death.

Manual Vacuum A (MVA0 or Sharp Curettage, a horrible procedure! (D&C):

Vacuum Aspiration or Sharp Curettage (D&C): (6 to 16 wks) powerful suction tube inserted through the cervix and into the uterus. The abortionist begins by dilating the mom’s cervix until it is large enough to allow a cannula to be inserted into her uterus. The cannula is a hollow plastic tube that is connected to a vacuum-type pump by a flexible hose. The abortionist runs the tip of the cannula along the surface of the uterus causing the baby to be dislodged and sucked into the tube – either whole or in pieces. Amniotic fluid and the placenta are likewise suctioned through the tube and, together with the other body parts, end up in a collection jar. Any remaining parts are scraped out of the uterus with a surgical instrument called a curette. Following that, another pass is made through the mom’s uterus with the suction machine to help insure that none of the baby’s body parts have been left behind. The contents of the collection jar are examined to assure that all fetal parts and an adequate amount of tissue commensurate with gestational age are present. MVA successfully terminates an “unwanted pregnancy” 99.5% of the time. How sad that anyone would consider this!

Mifepristone (RU-486)/misoprostol:

Mifepristone: (5 to 7 wks) is also known as RU-486 or the “Abortion Pill.” RU-486 is a drug that has been used in Europe for some years (in combination with a prostaglandin drug) to terminate a pregnancy. The generic drug name is mifepristone, but it is more commonly known as RU-486. This information and instruction discussion is based on the assumption that you have had counseling and competent guidance in making your decision to seek this procedure for termination of the pregnancy.

RU-486 also has potential as a menstrual inducer, to be taken several days before a woman’s period is due. In addition, it is being studies as a treatment for other disorders such as endometriosis, breast cancer and Cushing’s syndrome. When followed by misoprostol, it is 92-98% effective in ending an unwanted pregnancy. Aside from killing the baby, RU-486 is very dangerous to the woman if used in the wrong way.

Methotrexate/misoprostol):

Methotrexate: (5 to 9 wks) though not approved by the FDA for this use, a methotrexate injection kills the unborn child by interfering with the growth process (cell division). It may also affect attachment of the embryo to the uterine wall. Several days later, the woman is treated with prostaglandin (misoprostol) suppositories to expel the fetus; woman aborts at home. Requires three visits to a doctor to complete process. What a cruel way to destroy human life.

Some Methods of Late Abortion:

Dilation & Evacuation (D&E):

Dilation & Evacuation (D&E): (13 to 20+ wks) the cervix is pried open. Using forceps, the abortionist tears the child out of the womb, limb by limb. The child is then reassembled to assure that no fetal parts are left inside. Possible complications include infection, cervical laceration and uterine perforation. Why anyone would want to kill their unborn child’s future is bad enough but to submit yourself to all those possible complications is just plain dumb.

Prostaglandin:

Prostaglandin: (16 to 38 wks) also called misoprostol, this chemical which induces premature labor, is given as suppositories or an injection; live births are common. Hazards include convulsions, vomiting, and cardiac arrest. The baby pays the highest price with their life.

Digoxin Induction:

Digoxin Induction: (20 to 32 wks) involves injecting a lethal chemical directly into the baby’s heart followed by labor induction with prostaglandin. This is a good example of cruel and horrible punishment for selfish reasons.

Saline Abortion:

Saline Abortion: (16 to 32+ wks) a long needle is inserted into the woman’s abdomen, and a salty solution is injected into the amnionic fluid. The salt poisons the child, burning its lungs and skin. A dead baby is then delivered within 24 hours. This method is rarely used any more due to the serious health risks to the woman. Why someone would even use this procedure is just plain crazy. Why not just put the baby up for adoption?

Hysterotomy:

Hysterotomy: (24 to 38 wks): The procedure is simply an early Caesarean section. After an incision is made through the abdomen and uterus, the unborn child is lifted out and allowed to die. The risks are the same as for a normal Caesarean section. Another way of describing this procedure is to say the baby was starved to death. What a cruel way to treat an innocent baby.

D&X:

D&X: (20 to 32+ wks) also known as “partial-birth abortion” this dangerous method of late abortion, termed “bad medicine” by the American Medical Association, involves pulling the baby out feet first into the birth canal while the head remains in the uterus. The abortionist then makes a hole in the back of the skull to remove the brains with a suction catheter. The head collapses allowing the child to be removed in one piece. Thank God President George W. Bush signed the Partial Birth Abortion Ban into law. The law has not been implemented because the abortion industry is trying to overturn it in the Courts. As this insane litigation goes on babies are being killed every month by this procedure.

Here are some other possible complications of an abortion

There may be some physical or psychological complications with an abortion. These may be a factor in your decision to have an abortion so we have summarized some of the main possible complications below.

Blood Loss:

As with any operation, an abortion may cause some significant blood loss. A normal abortion performed in the first twelve weeks of pregnancy will cause very little bleeding. If the patient is experiencing heavy bleeding for weeks following the abortion then this is likely due to the incomplete removal of the placenta.

Infection:

There may be a problem with infection after the procedure has been performed. This may be due to contaminated tools, an existing infection or pieces of placenta which have been mistakenly left in the uterus. These infections are normally treated with antibiotics.

Damage to Organs:

Physical damage to the interior organs is also a possibility during the abortion procedure. Any instrument which is used in the uterus could possibly be passed through the muscle of the uterus. This normally heals without any further care. The cervix may also become damaged by the clamp used during abortion. If the clamp falls off, it may damage the cervix which can be sutured to correct any difficulty.

Psychological Trauma:

How you react after an abortion is influenced by the circumstance leading to it and the support and kindness of family, friends and health personnel. Many women are relieved afterwards; others feel a sense of loss and a need to mourn. Women who have had mixed feelings leading up to the abortion may need more time to deal with their decision afterward.

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

Allah’s Messengers too were breast-fed. Allah inspired Musa’s mother to put her baby Musa in a basket in the river to save him from Pharaoh’s killing decree, Pharaoh’s family found him and wanted to keep him and looked everywhere for a wet-nurse to breastfeed him and Allah caused Musa to refuse to be breast-fed by any woman except his own mother.

The Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu ‘alayhi wassallam) in his childhood, suckled from his mother Aminah, Thuwaybah – a slave girl of his uncle Abu Lahab, Umm Ayman and Halimah as-Sa’diyyah.[

The Prophet’s (Sallallahu ‘alayhi wassallam) children too were breastfed. His son Ibrahim had a wet-nurse as occurs in a hadeeth and when his son passed away he was only 1 year and 10 months old so there were two months of suckling left for him so the Prophet (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi wassallam) said as narrated by Al-Bara (bin Azib):

The Prophet, after the death of his son Ibrahim, said, "There is a wet-nurse for him (i.e. Ibrahim) in Paradise."[Recorded by Ibn Hibban, Abu Dawud and others from ‘Abdullah bin Ja’far (Radhiyallaahu ‘anhu)]

It is only in modern times that the wide use of artificial forms of baby-feeding, cow’s and goat’s milk formulas, have been used and that women have left their homes in pursuit of careers which make them leave the superior role that Allah Ta’ala has given them and pulled them away from the home to serve others and leave their own families.

Allah Ta’ala tells us the recommended time of suckling a child in the Qur’an:

“And the mothers are to suckle their infants for two years, for those who wish to complete the suckling” (Surah Baqarah 2:233)

“We have enjoined upon the human being to treat his parents kindly. His mother bore him with weakness upon weakness, and his weaning is in two years.” (Surah Luqman 31:14)

Look at the importance of breastfeeding! Allah Ta’ala even mentions it in the Qur’an a number of times! Breastfeeding is widely acknowledged now as being the best food for babies. It provides everything your baby needs.

Fourteen hundred years after this verse was revealed, international organizations such as the World Health Organization have issued statement after statement calling on mothers to breastfeed their children, whereas Islam enjoined that fourteen centuries ago.

The benefits of breastfeeding for the child include the following:

1 – The mother’s milk is sterile, containing no germs.

2 – The mother’s milk cannot be imitated by any milk prepared from the milk of cows, goats or camels. It is composed in such a way as to meet the child’s needs day after day, from birth until weaning.

3 – The mother’s milk contains sufficient amounts of protein and sugar that suit the infant completely, whereas the proteins in cow’s, goat’s and buffalo’s milk are difficult for the child’s stomach to digest, because they are suited to the offspring of those animals.

4 – The development of children who are breastfed is faster and more complete than that of children who are bottle-fed.

5 – The psychological and emotional bond between the mother and her child.

6 – The mother’s milk contains various elements that are essential to the child’s nourishment, in the right amounts and formats needed by his body, and in a form that is suited to his ability to digest and absorb.  The nourishing content of the milk is not fixed; it changes day by day according to the child’s needs.

7 – The mother’s milk is kept at a suitable temperature that meets the child’s needs, and can be given to him at any time.

8 – Breastfeeding is a natural means of contraception for the mother, and is free of the complications that may accompany use of birth control pills, the coil (IUD) or injections.

The child feels ultimate comfort and security through being so close to his mother and their special bond is strengthened, so much so that in Islam if a non-related woman breastfeeds a child she becomes a foster mother to him and her children are foster sisters and brothers to him who he cannot marry! As the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wassallam) said as is related in a number of Ahadeeth:

”Indeed, Allah has prohibited (marriage) among suckling relatives, as He has prohibited it among birth (or blood) relatives”[Recorded by Sahih Al-Bukhari, Muslim]

What more proof do we need of the bond that is created through breast-feeding?
It is permissible with the parent’s joint agreement to have a child breastfed by another woman and that wet-nurse is entitled to a wage.

However, it is better if no one breastfeeds the child but his mother; because that is more beneficial, and that may be obligatory for her if the child will not accept the breast of anyone else or any other milk.

In Islam, unless there is a legitimate excuse, the mother is required to breastfeed her baby. It is an obligation upon both parents – the mother provides the milk and the father provides the material support for the mother even if they are divorced. If a parent thinks there is a need to wean the baby before the end of two years it is permissible after consultation and joint agreement.

In your situation the main reason given for not breastfeeding your child is to keep up with your fitness and to follow up a diet. That is not good enough to forego the right of the baby in breastfeeding him.

And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
