 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. |
| In other words, it's not enough that as a nation we misdiagnose childhood hyperactivity caused by sugar consumption as being a brain chemistry imbalance and then dose all those children with Ritalin, it seems that we also want to start dosing pregnant women as well. Who's next? Are we going to dose all men under the age of 30? Are we going to require the mental health screening of all elderly people, and start dosing everyone over the age of 65 with brain altering drugs too? |

 Hey pregnant women, take thalidomide for your cancer! Don't worry about your unborn children. This chemical is perfectly safe! Result: 10,000 children born with physical deformities. Doctors continued to use infants and pregnant women in pharmaceutical experiments for the next fifty years. See Vaccines and Medical Experiments on Children, Minorities, Woman and Inmates (1845 - 2007).

The Chemical Warfare Service begins mustard gas and lewisite experiments on 4,000 members of the U.S. military. Some test subjects don't realize they are volunteering for chemical exposure experiments, like 17-year-old Nathan Schnurman, who in 1944 thinks he is only volunteering to test "U.S. Navy summer clothes" (Goliszek). |

| STUDY #2: ASTHMA AND PREMATURITY
A Canadian study found that pregnant women who have asthma are more likely to have premature and low-birth-weight babies.
This survey of 13,980 children who were born in Manitoba found that mothers who had asthma were, on average, 2.77 times more likely to have a baby born at less than 28 weeks' gestation and 3-04 times more likely to have a baby born at less than 32 weeks' gestation than a nonasth-matic mother. |
| Several countries, including Canada, Norway, Sweden, Britain, Germany and Denmark, currently advise dentists against using mercury fillings for pregnant women. However, the ADA contends that this recommendation was made despite the lack of scientific evidence of systemic health problems or toxic effects and maintains its position that dental amalgam should remain an option for patients.
ADA POSITION
"Our position is one of looking at the scientific evidence and believing it's safe and effective and that dentists and patients should have the option," says Dr. Ron R. |
| REACTION
A consortium of organizations including Consumers for Dental Choice, the Mercury Policy Project and the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology filed a petition to the FDA to immediately ban mercury fillings for pregnant women so as to protect their unborn children. The FDA has six months to respond to the petition.
"We're doing this primarily as a precautionary measure to protect unborn children from unnecessary exposure to mercury," says Michael Bender, director of the Mercury Policy Project, located in Montpelier, Vermont. |
| If you have fresh shingles blisters, be especially careful not to get near a child who hasn't had chicken pox or has not been vaccinated against it, anyone who has a compromised immune system or any pregnant women who haven't had chicken pox (the fetus could be at risk if she catches chicken pox).
DIAGNOSING AND TREATING SHINGLES
If you feel a strange sensation that you suspect may be shingles, your best bet is to see a dermatologist at once. Diagnosing the early signs of shingles, before the rash appears, can be difficult. |
| Other patients with less severe depression may want to go off" their medication, she says.
"Pregnant women with depression or other conditions that need treatment have to make decisions, with their clinicians, about what medications they can be best treated with and which medications are the safest," says Chambers.
Kweder adds, "This isn't a cause for panic among women who are taking these medicines, and they should not stop their medication on their own. Stopping these medications on your own can sometimes create more problems than it solves. |

 In its 2002 recommendations, the ACOG warns against exercise for pregnant women who are overweight, diabetic, heavy smokers, or who have high blood pressure — the very women who need exercise. In these cases, exercise may not be totally out of the question; it's just that they should start very slowly, working closely with their doctors.
Many expectant mothers don't have a clear idea of what they can do, and they think in terms of avoiding rather than engaging. |

 In the United States the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists warned against routine diagnostic x-rays of pregnant women in 1980.30 The public understanding of the perils of radiation shifted as this book was being completed. Janette Sherman detailed some of these recent revelations:
The death in November 2006 of the Russian dissident Alexander Litvi-nenko, a British citizen, made headlines around the world as he suecumbed to the alpha radiation given off by a minute amount of Polonium 210. |

 Kupk and colleagues have reported in The Journal of Nutrition on the relationship between death from AIDS and plasma selenium levels in pregnant women in Tanzania. Blood was collected from 949 pregnant women and saved for 5.7 years, by which time 306 of them had died. Statistical analyses showed that the lower her original plasma selenium level, the more likely the woman was to have died of AIDS. This selenium-death relationship was statistically significant.
Optimum Dose
The therapeutic dose is between 200 and 600 meg daily. |

| Caution: A purged stool test is not recommended for individuals with high blood pressure, as the high-sodium solution may exacerbate their blood pressure problems. pregnant women and those suffering from an intestinal obstruction or appendicitis also shouldn't take this test.
Blood tests: Blood tests may be useful for diagnosing some parasitic infections. Elevated levels of eosinophils, a type of white blood cell, may indicate a parasite infection. Blood tests can also measure levels of antibodies to some parasites. In addition, abnormal blood levels of some nutrients may indicate parasites. |
| They are not recommended for use by pregnant women.
Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis) is also effective. The preferred form is an extract of the root standardized to 5% or more of its active ingredient (hydrastine), at a dose of 250 mg twice daily. Pau d'arco, another herb that has long been used to treat infections and intestinal complaints, is reportedly also an analgesic, antiviral, diuretic, and fungicide. |

| A high dosage (up to 50,000 IU a day) is needed to be effective against acne, which is best taken under the supervision of a doctor because of its potential toxicity. pregnant women should not take more than 10,000 IU of vitamin A a day—a dosage that may be too low to treat acne. Vitamin E (taken at 400 IU daily) increases the benefits of vitamin A and selenium. Selenium (taken at 200 meg daily) works with vitamin E to reduce inflammation.
Topical treatment: Tea tree oil is a natural antiseptic. Apply 5 drops of a 5-15% solution in diluted water to a cotton ball and dab on the affected area. |

 The pregnant women with the highest phthalate levels — equivalent to the levels currently found in about a quarter of US women — were more likely to have baby sons with smaller penises and incompletely descended testicles. The boys were also more likely to have a shorter distance from their anus to their penis (called anogenital distance, or AGD), which is an indicator of masculinity. The distance is about half as long in girls as it is in boys. "None of our boys looked weird; they weren't grossly deformed," Swan explained. "But they had subde differences. |
| We spent $175 per product to determine if phthalates are present, a cost hardly within the budget of most pregnant women trying to steer clear of myriad products that could potentially harm a fetus," the report said.
Jane, Charlotte and Bryony arrived early to the Press Club and waited nervously in the empty Murrow Room. After all that drama, would anyone even show up? The boys from the Environmental Working Group arrived first and filed into the front row. There was a something-to-prove feeling in the air. This was, after all, the girls' project. About cosmetics. |
