Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey See book keywords and concepts

Bioenergetic studies have revealed that during prenatal development, the fetal nervous system produces low-frequency sounds, which are likely imprinting information that is crucial to the continued development of the growing fetus. As fetal development nears completion and soon after the baby's birth, its nervous system becomes heavily dependent on electrical-chemical signals, such as those that produce the different types of brain waves (alpha, beta, theta, and delta). This Driver field showed particularly strong bioenergetic correlation to low-frequency brain waves.

Isocctylphenyl ether, a compound of ether; has anesthetic properties; a teratogen, causing abnormal prenatal development. It also induces testicular atrophy in animals. The vaccine producers are unable to guarantee that the vaccine will protect you against the flu. So they carefully tell you that the vaccine "reduces the likelihood of infection; or if you do develop the disease, it will be a milder case.

The Missing Gene: Psychiatry, Heredity, and the Fruitless Search for Genes Jay Joseph See book keywords and concepts

And just as dissimilar postnatal environments confound the results of psychiatric twin studies, the dissimilar prenatal environments of identical and fraternal twins (based on their chorionic status) suggests that the twin method cannot disentangle possible genetic and non-genetic biological factors influencing abnormal prenatal development in twins. In order to rule out twins' chorionic status as a major factor in twin concordance for autism, comparisons between MC and DC twins (independent of zygosity) must be performed. 1. Li et al, 2002, p. 24. 2. Bulmer, 1970.

Thus, they assumed that abnormal prenatal development was genetically influenced, when several non-genetic biological factors could also explain such development. Moreover, the interaction of non-genetic biological factors (e.g., exposure to or ingestion of toxic substances by the mother) with twins' chorionic status could lead to higher identical versus fraternal autism concordance for autism for reasons unrelated to genetics. 1. Unfortunately, subsequent reviewers (e.g.

Devlin, et al, 1997; McGue 1997] Devlin, on the other hand, found that conditions during prenatal development significantly impact IQ. He reveals that up to fifty-one percent of a child's potential intelligence is controlled by environmental factors. Previous studies had already found that drinking or smoking during pregnancy can cause decreased IQ in children, as can exposure to lead in the womb. The lesson for people who want to be parents is that you can radically shortchange the intelligence of your child simply by the way you approach pregnancy.

Ingredients include essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, among them the B vitamin folic acid and the omega-3 essential fatty acid docosa-hexaenoic acid (DHA), that are necessary for a healthy pregnancy and healthy prenatal development. • Quick Cleanse Program from ZAND (Botanical Laboratories).

The greatest hope of increasing life span can be offered if nutrition—from the time of prenatal development to old age—is continuously of the highest quality." Pfeiffer took 10 grams of vitamin C a day toward the end of his life, while Pauling took 16 grams. There is certainly a good case for taking a gram of vitamin C (1,000 mg) and 112 IU of 373 vitamin E for every decade of life. So an eighty-year-old may benefit most from 8 grams of vitamin C and 900 IU of vitamin E. Improving digestion and absorption The production of stomach acid and enzymes often declines with age.

These substances are so essential, in fact, that even a slight defect in phospholipid production during prenatal development is invariably fatal.1 Everyone needs healthy phospholipids in order to have a competent nervous system, and this in turn requires sufficient levels of EFAs in the diet. For example, the "insulation" that surrounds nerve fibers, called myelin, is made mosdy of fat. As we'll see in a bit, multiple sclerosis, a condition in which the body "accidentally" attacks myelin, has been correlated with a fatty acid imbalance.

One of the reasons folic acid is important is that it fosters healthy prenatal development: It aids in the prevention of birth defects, such as those of the neural tube, and is crucial for proper cell production in the growing fetus. Folic acid is easily consumed by heat; hence, diets that consist primarily of cooked foods, with few raw foods included, often result in this type of deficiency. In addition, young children may develop a folic acid deficiency if they are given goat's milk. (Although superior to cow's milk in many ways, goat's milk lacks folic acid.

Those who were exposed to high doses of radiation between the eighth and fifteenth weeks of prenatal development were also more likely to be mentally retarded or to do poorly on intelligence tests. During those weeks of gestation, embryonic brain cells are especially sensitive to radiation. The prenatally irradiated children also have shown an increased risk of getting cancer as adults (see Chapter 11, "Reproductive Effects and Prenatal Exposures"). Links to Cancer. The heavily irradiated bomb survivors have shown an excess of various types of cancers.
