It wasn't until 1999, when Ruth Gilbert and PatTookey of the Institute of child health in London published a serious study showing that water birth was at least as safe as conventional methods, that all these predictions of doom and gloom were shown to be largely baseless. An even more recent Italian study, published in 2005, has confirmed the safely of water birthing—and demonstrated some stunning advantages. The Italian researchers compared 1,600 water births at a single institution over eight years to the conventional births at the same place during the same time.

A recent study conducted at the Institute of child health at Bristol University, U.K. observed every aspect of 14,000 children's lives over a period of 7 years. They found that too much hygiene could be damaging children's health, weakening their immune systems and making them prone to illnesses such as asthma. A few decades ago such diseases as asthma, eczema, and hay fever were almost nonexistent. Today, as many as one third of the population suffer from allergies.

For example, Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, and Eli Lilly paid in 2001 to promote mental health screenings for all kids during what organizers called child health Month. The event's main message was that one out of every five Iowa children had a mental illness that could be diagnosed and treated. The organizers said that those children who were not treated were more likely to end up unemployed, abusing drugs, physically ill, or serving time in prison. Iowa governor Tom Vilsack, the University of Iowa, and the state's pediatricians urged parents to have their children tested.

In 1997 a report for the US National Institute for child health and Human Development identified three risk factors for insecure attachment in children under two: more than ten hours of daycare a week in the first year, a change in the childcare arrangements in the first year, and low-quality daycare.

Casual treatment in this manner is undesirable because it leads to over-diagnosis of food intolerance with potential long-term effects on child health and behavior. Soy formulae should not be used routinely as prophylaxis in infants thought to be at risk for the development of allergy. Soy protein is a potential allergen in its own right. . ,"69 Soy formula also adversely affects the immune system, causing lower immunoglobulin levels and more infections than breast milk or cow's milk formulas.70 Finally, pediatricians have seen lowered antibody responses to vaccinations as early as the 1980s.

Norman Kretchmer, Director of the Institute of child health and Human Development of the National Institutes of Health, several years ago analyzed the distribution of lactase deficiency in Nigeria. He studied four of the major tribal groups of that country—the Yoruba, Ibo, Hausa, and Fulani. The Yoruba and Ibo live in an area of the country where there is no cattle raising and where almost no milk is consumed after weaning. In these groups 99 percent of the population was lactase deficient between one and a half and three years of age.

Simons also noted, when appeals for stricter "maternal and child health policy" failed, environmental concerns were then successfully used to "dress up old racist rantings."20 Their argument was eloquently expressed in an article in Atlantic Monthly by author, Robert Kaplan: Mention "the environment" or "diminishing natural resources" in foreign-policy circles and you meet a brick wall of skepticism or boredom. To conservatives especially the very term seems flaky ... [but] it is time to understand "the environment" for what it is: the national security issue of the early twenty-first century.

Califano and the Carter administration, apparently, replaced the term "Population Control" with the more comforting phrase "Maternal and child health." Then I did the same period searches for USAID vaccine and WHO reports. During the later, I was directed to a Department of State Bulletin article wherein Califano addressed the WHO general assembly. "Rapid population growth," the Secretary of DHEW warned, "retards social and economic progress in many nations and burdens many families and communities.

I learned that by doing away with the phrase "Population Control," Califano and his subordinates was able to conduct similar programs under the less stigmatized "Maternal and Child Health" venue. Looking for Merck and USAID in Africa Next, I considered whether there was a direct link between Califano and Merck. It was certainly a good possibility.

The article, which we read on the plane ride back to Boston, explained that despite official claims to the contrary, African overpopulation was not a prime motivation behind family planning and maternal and child health programs.1921 Nor was population control even a desire among African women. As Nicholas Eberstadt, foreign policy analyst for the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research, noted, "in most of sub-Saharan Africa it is infertility—not unwanted pregnancies—that women rank as their top priority.

Johns Hopkins University and president of the International child health Foundation. "Don't stop eating," he urges. "Simply shift to foods that will shorten the diarrhea—high-bulk foods like rice or carrot soups, tapioca puddings, and not too much sugar." Eat frequently, and slowly; gulping down food can promote nausea. The so-called BRAT diet—bananas, rice, applesauce and toast —commonly recommended for youngsters is fine, says Dr. Greenough. Encourage children with diarrhea to eat frequendy as much as they want—about five to seven times a day or every three to four hours, he advises.
