 Holick: And so, what we're now becoming more concerned about, me and many of the experts, is that infants that are vitamin D deficient at birth can remain vitamin D deficient for the first several months after birth, it may put them at risk of developing many chronic diseases later in life, including type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, as well as many of the common cancers of the breast, colon and prostate.
Adams: And this trend - can it be reversed through vitamin D supplementation later on in their life? Or is that set in stone?
Dr. Holick: I don't know. |
| So we did a study at our hospital, and we looked at women coming in and giving birth, and we measured their vitamin D levels -- their 25-hydroxy vitamin D levels, and the infants' 25-hydroxy vitamin D levels at birth. 49 infant-mother pairs were looked at, mostly African-American and Hispanic but some Caucasian as well. 76% of mothers were severely vitamin D deficient. 81% of infants were severely vitamin D deficient.
Adams: That's astonishing.

 More than a third are repeat procedures based on the belief that a rupture in the uterine scar may occur if a vaginal birth is attempted, despite evidence that rupture occurs in only 1% of such births. Other conditions where C-sections confer doubtful benefit are dystocia (difficult labor), breech presentation and fetal distress. There are also risks associated with C-sections, most notably for the infant prematurity or respiratory disease and infection. Maternal mortality is two to four times higher compared to vaginal births. |

 Often, patterns that can develop into problems of ill health are traceable to events or energies that happened at birth. By reconfiguring the consciousness hologram of the birth process, you can help someone make a new start in life. And obviously, if you can travel back to the moment of birth, you can move even farther into the past. You can calibrate or track patterns that were established anywhere within the journey from conception on, and sometimes even beyond that point. |

 It's designed to teach expecting moms how to nourish their babies to maximize their health and avoid birth defects.
Since virtually nobody in the conventional medical industry has bothered to tell mothers the truth about nutrition, we thought it was time that an energetic, compassionate non-profit got the job done. We'll use donations to hire a project manager who can coordinate the educational efforts with birth centers around the country. |

 In the Netherlands thirty years ago, public health officials recommended rickets prevention via 2,000 IU of vitamin D a day (via cod-liver oil) from birth through a child's first birthday. In 1997, Dr. Elina Hypponen and her colleagues at the Tampere School of Public Health in Finland analyzed health records of babies who were born in 1966 in Oulu and Lapland, Finland, to check for development of type 1 diabetes. This landmark analysis showed an 80 percent reduction in occurrence of type 1 diabetes among those who were receiving vitamin D at 2,000 IU per day. |

 Pharmacological Drugs
Hormone Replacement Therapy and birth Control Pills
The risk of developing gallstones is four times higher among women than among men. It is especially pronounced among women who have used or use birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). According to medical research, oral contraceptives and other estrogens double a woman's chance of developing gallstones. The female hormone, estrogen, which is contained in contraceptive pills and hormone replacements, increases bile cholesterol and decreases gallbladder contraction. |

 What's especially frightening about this program is that it may include the dosing of pregnant women with prescription drugs that we now know increase the risk of birth defects. We also know from clinical trials and experiments involving mice that children who grow up on antidepressant drugs have a much higher risk of being depressed as adults whether or not they continue taking those drugs. |

 Before long I was receiving dozens of requests: people with cancer, children with brain damage or birth defects, estranged family members, wounded pets. I tried to choose carefully and always put up a photo of our Intention of the Week: a child with cerebral palsy; a newborn who'd sustained brain damage after a difficult birth; a teenage runaway; a woman who'd found the love of her life in late middle age only to discover she'd got breast cancer. Our site was turning into the cyber equivalent of a weekly prayer group. |

 REDUCED RISK OF PREECLAMPSIA DURING PREGNANCY: Researchers in London found that garlic may help to boost the birth weight of babies and decrease preeclampsia complications at birth.
CANCER: Nearly thirty studies have shown that garlic has some cancer-preventive effect. The evidence is particularly strong for a link between garlic and prevention of prostate and stomach cancers.
Tips on Using Garlic
SELECTION AND STORAGE:
• A "bulb" usually contains between ten and twenty individual cloves of garlic. Fresh garlic should be plump and firm with tight skin. |

 Odent groups together the child's time in the womb, birth, and the first year into what he calls the "primal" period, which he believes is formative of many key adult attributes. He says that when "researchers explore behavior, a personality trait or a disease that can be interpreted as an 'impaired ability to love,' they always detect risk factors in the perinatal period." He cites studies that show that, "the main risk factor for being a violent criminal at age 18 was the association of birth complications, together with early separation from or rejection by the mother.9 ... |

 Gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy and usually resolves with the birth of the baby.
While certain ethnic groups are at increased risk for diabetes, the following factors can raise anyone's risk: family history, being obese or significantly overweight, sedentary lifestyle, being over 45, having a history of gestational diabetes, or giving birth to a 9-pound or bigger baby. |

 Yet mothers of infants with neonatal lupus are often surprisingly quite healthy and free of lupus at the time that they give birth. Over time, however, researchers working with infants with neonatal lupus began to notice that four or five years down the road, mothers who had been seemingly healthy at the time of giving birth were routinely developing either lupus or lupus-related Sjogren's disease, an autoimmune disease in which sufferers experience symptoms such as dry eyes, dry mouth, and difficulty swallowing. |

| He cites studies that show that, "the main risk factor for being a violent criminal at age 18 was the association of birth complications, together with early separation from or rejection by the mother.9 ... From studies among mammals as diverse as rats, hamsters, sheep, goats and monkeys one can conclude that there is always, immediately after birth, a short 'sensitive' period which will never be repeated, and which is critical to mother-baby attachment and subsequent development. |

 Spirals obviously indicate movement, perhaps continuous movement of time going from birth to death to rebirth again. In the book Symbols—Encyclopedia of Western Signs and Ideograms, Carl Liungmann tells us that spirals also may have been an indication of water. The spiral symbol can indicate "potential energy" or "the seed of life," or, as Monica Sjoo suggests, "the spiral is the symbolic key to immortality or the eternal process. |

 For instance, in one cutting-edge study of 1,000 women living in California, researchers found that those who ate the most refined and sugary foods experienced up to a fourfold increase in birth defects compared to women whose diets consisted mainly of unprocessed whole grains, beans, fruits, vegetables, and some dairy products. It appears that the mother's high blood sugar can overwhelm the embryo in the early stages of pregnancy, particularly before its pancreas develops. And experts believe that the hypoglycemia that often accompanies a sugar spike also could cause birth defects. |

| She looked up at the tree and asked for help with the delivery, and each time the birth progressed immediately with positive outcomes. She noticed this at first as a coincidence, and then, the next time she asked for Maple's help, she suggested that they work together co-creatively. This opened a doorway for her to begin a more intimate relationship with Maple, where she has now received the "mama maple song" that she co-created and uses in her deliveries. Maple has given her its healing gifts, and together their birthing song helps women labor successfully. (See color plate 2. |

 Research also shows that infants with lower birth weights whose mothers were obese but not diabetic at the time they gave birth are also at increased risk of developing metabolic syndrome. Given that more and more children and adolescents are overweight and obese, these findings are a warning that the combination of obesity and metabolic syndrome will continue to be a serious problem unless we take action. As a mother, father, or other individual who is responsible for a child's health and welfare, you need to help protect and preserve the future health of your child. |

| C-sections had no documented abnormalities on the birth certificate to justify the procedure.9 Most medical scientists estimate that between half and two-thirds of all Cesareans are needless. Two British researchers suggest that a rate of 6 to 8% would be medically indicated, which would save 20,000 surgeries in the United Kingdom and 470,000 in the United States.10 "It is reasonable to conclude, says health policy analyst Carol Sakala, "that a largely uncontrolled international pandemic of medically unnecessary Cesarean births is occurring. |

 Some of these include cancer, immune system abnormalities, and birth defects in the offspring of those contaminated.
Dioxin exposure almost always occurs through trace contamination; in concentrated, pure form, dioxin has no commercial applicarions. This point was underscored by the campaign poisoning of Viktor Yushchenko in the run-up to the Ukrainian presidential elections in 2004. |
| A generation later, it would give birth to an entirely new industry worldwide, helping to create the first intetlocking set of modern, truly multinational enterprises. It is a chemical that is still widely used today, with novel applications and new sources of exposure being added to those aheady in place. We do not know even the first name of C. S. or W. J. K. or M. B. They may have been Carl, Wilhelm, and Moses. But the toxin that drove them insane certainly does have an identity, even if few other than working chemists may have ever heard of it. It is called carbon disulfide.

| Then, the twentieth-century birth of reinforced steel armaments of modern warfare gave manganese a final extra push.
In 1901, the first renewed scientific notice of manganese-related Parkinsonism appeared in two separate reports; in the following twelve years at least six additional articles on the subject were published, documenting various similar cases. All were in the German medical literature. The first case involved an unfortunate nineteen-year-old, initialed simply "M. J. |

I never recommend taking straight vitamin A in supplements. We can meet the need for vitamin A within the body by simply taking beta-carotene and the mixed carotenoids. These are very safe, and the body is able to turn beta-carotene into vitamin A as the need arises without any risk of toxicity.
Beta-Carotene
Beta-carotene has been used in high doses over several years without a single reported adverse effect. |

 Difficult birth or shock after an easy birth can sometimes cause the body great psychological stress, which shows in difficult breathing, color changes, limp limbs, sucking difficulty, etc.
Although births are attended by a doctor/midwife, the following remedies can be used:
Arnica 30c: For shock, bruising, limp limbs, difficult sucking. (Rescue Remedy can also be used for shock.)
Aconite 30c: Purple-colored face, shocked, frightened, or anxious.
Antim Tart 30c: Difficulty in breathing due to pressure and delay of difficult birth. Rattling in throat. |

Edible Uses
Slippery elm bark is very nutritive. It is most often powdered before consumption, after which it can be eaten as a gruel, like oatmeal, that can be flavored with cinnamon, raisins, honey, and so on. Slippery elm is very easy to digest, and so it is especially beneficial for people who can't keep any other food down, such as those recovering from illness or undergoing chemotherapy. |
