PRENATAL CARE OR HOW TO HAVE HEALTHY
CHILDREN

The current
medical prenatal care is a sad joke. The idea that you can have a healthy baby just by eating a ÒdecentÓ
or ÒbalancedÓ diet, whatever that means, and taking a random prenatal vitamin
tablet is wrong and quite stupid, in fact. It is no wonder birth defects have doubled in the past 60
years with this kind of insanity.
Modern medical
prenatal care also starts years too late because it takes time to improve your
health and balance your body chemistry.
Also, even if doctors, including holistic ones, want to improve your
health, very few know how to measure health accurately, and how to improve it
radically and drastically.
As
a result, children today are sicker than ever. Most children are prone to infections, autism, ADD, delayed
development, DownÕs syndrome, and even cancer. This article will teach you how to have healthy children,
for real.
Having amazing
children. If young women will
do what is described below, they will find themselves joined by some of the
most amazing children imaginable.
This is because there are advanced souls who wish to come to earth today
who need strong, healthy mothers in order for them to have strong, capable
bodies. They are on the lookout
for any young woman who cares enough for herself and for her future children to
take excellent care of her body.
At
the same time, the general health of most young women is getting worse. This means that if you donÕt change
your ways and take better care of yourself, the chances of your having a
defective and retarded child are high.
Please know this to be the truth, though few will talk about it.
PRINCIPLES
OF PRE-NATAL CARE
1.
Healthy
children depend mainly on the health of the mother, and to some degree on the
health of the father. This
fact is well known among animal breeders.
It is the truth. It means
that if the mother is poorly nourished or toxic, the baby will be the
same. This opens the baby up to
genetic defects, autism, ADD, ADHD, delayed development, infections and more.
2. Almost
everyone today is toxic and depleted.
This is true even if you eat a good diet and you feel well. My experience is that basically all
young mothers-to-be are malnourished and toxic today. This is due to a poor quality food supply, improper diet,
stress, poor eating habits, use of medical drugs and other reasons. For more on this critical topic, read
the article entitled Most Everyone Is Toxic.
3. Get started
with prenatal care now, even if you are a teenager reading this article. You will not become healthy, by my standards, in a month or even
in a year or more. It takes time
to build up oneÕs body chemistry, to balance the body and remove two dozen
toxic metals. Do not, I repeat, do
not use chelation to do this, by the way.
We find that it always depletes some vital minerals. This applies to both natural chelators
as well as drugs, in all forms and methods of applying the chelators.
4. All toxins
are bad for your health, bar none.
Therefore, an important principle to improve your health and reduce
toxicity is to do your best to avoid all toxic substances that you may breathe,
touch, eat, or drink.
THE BASICS OF GOOD
PRE-CONCEPTION AND PRENATAL CARE
Upgrade
your diet.
It is worth it. Begin by
eliminating all products made with bleached white flour, white sugar, and corn
syrup. This alone is a big step
for many people. Get rid of all
junk like processed meats, processed cheeses, candy, cookies, most ice cream,
pastries, donuts, most bagels, and most processed and packaged foods.
Eat
mostly fresh food, not canned or frozen. Some frozen peas and frozen green beans are okay,
however.
Eat
70% of your diet as cooked vegetables. This means
a lot of them. Eat these at least
twice a day or even three times a day.
Eat
all organically grown food to reduce your pesticide load and increase your
nutrition. Organically grown food
was shown in a 1993 study in the Journal of
Applied Nutrition (45:1, pp. 35-39) to contain an average of more than
twice the mineral content of regular supermarket food. More and more markets are selling
organic foods.
Stay
away from all vegetarian, vegan, and semi-vegetarian diets. These simply will not nourish you well
enough. A recent study showed five
times greater likelihood of the birth defect hypospadias in women who followed a
vegetarian diet during pregnancy.
Eat animal flesh daily, and animal protein twice daily. Eggs, soft-cooked only, are also very
good.
Try
to eat some RAW dairy products daily.
Pasteurized dairy is not as good.
However, stay far away from raw food diets. Cook most food except some
raw cheese or yogurt or milk, for the best absorption of nutrients.
Reduce
or eliminate caffeine. One cup of tea or even a small cup of
regular coffee are fair, though not great. Strictly avoid cappuccinos, lattes and expressos, which are
too strong and irritate the body.
Eliminate
all wheat and spelt from your diet.
These are very hybridized foods that are irritating to the intestines,
even 100% organic whole wheat.
Other whole grains are okay.
Blue corn is wonderful.
If
possible, drink only 10-12 ounces of carrot juice daily, with a few greens in
it if you like. Do not
become a ÒjuicerÓ and drink more.
It is much too yin and sugary.
Avoid
almost all fruit and have no fruit juices. It is all too sugary and yin. This
is very important.
Take
nutritional supplements. At the very least, use kelp, sea salt
and perhaps nutritional yeast or rice polishings, and take a quality multiple
vitamin-mineral.
Everyone
needs a digestive aid. Take one
preferably that has ox bile and pancreatin in it, not Òvegetable enzymesÓ,
which are okay, but not as good.
Take at least one tablet or capsule with each meal.
Fitness
and Lifestyle. Birth is a
physical process. Do some gentle exercise
daily such as walking. Vigorous
exercise is neither needed nor helpful in almost all cases. Learn how to relax if this is difficult
for you. Get plenty of rest and
sleep, and make the decision to love yourself more every day. Do your best to make your home and work
environments safe, quiet, happy and low-stress.
Sexual
behavior. Intelligent women donÕt date in high school, and perhaps not in
college either. Stay a virgin, or
as close to it as possible. Dating
with sex just gives you sexual transmitted diseases (STDs), and usually makes
women so angry they are made sick by it.
Most are also raped at one time or another by the boyfriend or someone
else. Read about Rape on this website.
Vaccines,
flu shots and boosters. I strongly suggest you avoid all of these very
strictly. They are not necessary
if you take care of your health.
Do not let doctors and others talk you into them. More about this is discussed later in
this article.
Drugs. Forego alcohol and recreational
drugs. Alcohol not only kills
brain cells and destroys your peace of mind. It depletes zinc and magnesium, two minerals often in short
supply and critical for a healthy young baby.
Medications. Avoid
over-the-counter or prescription medications unless absolutely needed. According to a 2009 report entitled Death By Medicine,
modern drug medical care is now the leading cause of death in America. Always try natural remedies first. During pregnancy, or even if you
remotely believe you are pregnant, be very careful with any drugs, and even
herbs, even if prescribed by a doctor or naturopath. They may not realize that it is not safe for mothers
carrying developing children in their wombs.
Toxic
Chemicals. Carefully throw away all
toxic cleaning chemicals, insecticides, pesticides, toxic paints, and other
poisons in your home and work space.
There are safe alternatives for most of these. As much as possible, surround yourself with natural
materials, use natural-fiber clothing, and make sure homes and work areas are
well-ventilated.
Finally,
Improve Your Health Drastically. Embark on a nutritional balancing
program. If you can afford it,
send in a hair sample to us or to one of the practitioners I recommend on the Approved Practitioner
page. In my view, donÕt bother
with other practitioners, as they do not offer the same program benefits, even
if they are naturopaths or holistic doctors.
The
way you look or even feel is not a good enough guide to your real health. Toxic metals, toxic chemicals and
hidden infections are lurking in most everyone today. Do this preferably before you become pregnant, although you can
start a program while you are pregnant.
The Òside effectsÓ are that you will be stronger, smarter, better
looking, sexier, and happier.
Regular
chiropractic care is also excellent to help improve your health. The more healthy and balanced you
become, the easier and safer pregnancy and birth will be.
OTHER IMPORTANT ASPECTS
ABOUT PRENATAL CARE
Loose
sexual behavior at any time. Being loose is a killer of your health. Young men and women who do this always
pick up sexually transmitted infections, no matter how much you deny it. Most STDs cannot be treated with
medical methods or natural methods.
They just stay there, growing slowly until they reach the brain and
vital organs and sap your strength and that of your children. This is the truth about STDs, and I am
sorry that doctors, parents and others either donÕt know the truth, or donÕt
care enough to warn you.
If
you are wise, do not have steady boyfriends or girlfriends in high school and
even in college. Dating is not
important in high school or college (I know some will think IÕm crazy for
saying this, but it is true.)
Group activities are much better and much, much safer.
Also,
avoid all homosexual behavior.
This also guarantees sexually transmitted diseases, rapes and so on.
Do
you have a good, strong marriage? Look at your relationship carefully. Is it stable? Some people falsely think that having a baby will fix a bad
marriage. It never does, in my
experience.
So ask yourself
honestly, before having a child, whether this the man or the woman, perhaps,
you want to be the parent of your child?
If not, begin counseling or make another choice now, rather than get
stuck later with a child and a partner who is immature or otherwise
non-supportive. This is very
important. Do not allow romance or
even feeling sorry for a partner to blind you. Once again, having children usually does not fix a bad relationship.
Also,
religious and spiritual values become much more important when a child is
involved. Now is the time to think
about the values you and your partner will teach your child. Be sure the two of you are Òon the same
pageÓ with some important things in life, such as your spiritual values,
parenting style, whether to vaccinate the child, how to feed your child
nutritiously, the use of medical drugs, and whether you will home school the
child, send the child to a private school or another school. All of these are good to think about
right now, not when you are pregnant or later. Start researching these issues now. This website can help a lot.
Are you
financially able to have a child?
Having a baby means you will not or should not work as much. You should stay home with the baby for
at least three or four years.
Also, the best idea is to home school your child, and this means even
more time off work. Can you afford
this? Plan ahead, if possible, and
save some money. Having a child is
always a little bit risky, as things can go wrong that cost money to fix. So plan things, rather than allow them
to happen haphazardly.
Are you willing
to socially support another family member and is at least one parent willing to
stay home with a child? Babies
need a lot of love. Dropping them
off at daycare centers, even if it is ÒfreeÓ, is not ideal. Daycare centers often spread disease,
for example.
Where to have
your baby. You have options,
in many cases, where to have your baby.
Unfortunately, hospitals are not the safest places to have a baby. This is proven by statistics. Here are some strong suggestions:
1.
If at all possible, have your child outside of a regular hospital. While some hospitals have a good
record, many are just not as safe or as clean as having a baby at home if it is
a low-risk pregnancy. Some
birthing centers are better than hospitals, especially if they are away from a
big hospital. However, they still
tend to grab your baby, vaccinate your baby without your knowledge, and do
other things that are very bad, at times.
2.
If you can, use a midwife, doula or birth attendant, even if you have a regular
doctor, too.
3.
If you must go to a hospital for any reason, or even a birthing center, always
have someone other than the doctor present at all times to keep an eye on you
and on everything around you. This
is not always possible, but a wonderful idea. Always ask a lot of questions and do not just accept short
answers if you are not satisfied.
4.
Have the minimum amount of drugs during your pregnancy and delivery.
5. Learn about the dangers of vaccines NOW,
not when your baby is born. Read about Vaccination
on this website, and do not allow yourself to be talked into anything you do
not want.
6. Do not allow the
hospital to vaccinate your child before leaving the hospital. It is standard procedure now in most
hospitals. Remember that after the
birth, you are likely to be weak and tired. So give prior written instructions about vaccines,
breastfeeding and drugs, perhaps. I would also
have someone stay with your baby at all times to make sure no medicine or
vaccines are given without your approval. Do not be railroaded on this issue. The babyÕs life or health may be at
stake.
7.
Also learn NOW about natural ways to deal with childrenÕs infections, parenting skills and
alternatives to traditional schooling. All these can be vital to learn now, not later.
8.
Preferably breastfeed your baby at the hospital, rather than allow them to give
your baby ÒformulaÓ. Most of it is
absolute junk. This can be
critical for your babyÕs future digestive health. Babies mostly need rest and sleep after the birth. They are exhausted as well. Try to enable the baby to rest a lot in
a darkened area with no noise right after birth. They do not need to be fed soon after birth, and it is
likely to make them sick.
9.
Leave all hospitals and birthing centers as soon as possible. There are too many infections around
hospitals, in particular, and unfortunately mix-ups, bungling and mistakes are
made that could jeopardize the health of your baby, and your own health. Most homes are much safer, and
statistics prove it.
BIRTHING
PRACTICES
Enlightened
birthing practices can help reduce the stress of birth and enable babies to get
a better start. Important
practices include:
1. Do not expose the newborn to bright
lights.
2. Allow the child to begin breathing on
his own if possible.
3. Do not be in a hurry to cut the
umbilical cord. Let all the blood
go into the baby first before cutting the cord.
4. Allow the child to remain with its
mother instead of being isolated after birth.
5. For low-risk pregnancies, and even
for some medium-risk pregnancies, home birth is safer than hospital birth.
6. After birth, have your child checked
over by a very competent chiropractor
or osteopath. A simple adjustment or two can often
help prevent many childhood problems.
A session with a cranial-sacral therapist is not a bad idea,
either. It is a lot easier to
correct imbalances when a child is young, than when structural problems arise
years later.
7. An underwater birth is excellent,
assuming you have the right help and they know what they are doing. It is much less traumatic for the
baby. Some doctors and birthing
centers offer this excellent method of childbirth. You are placed in a sort of large, warm bathtub and your
birth attendant or nurse gets in with you. Babies love this kind of birth, as it is much less traumatic
and it is easier on you, too. Ask
about it in your area.
VACCINATIONS
The
author recently spoke to a mother whose child received the DPT vaccine at age
one. Soon after, the child
contracted pertussis or whooping cough from the vaccine. Afterwards, his development regressed,
and he now has persistent developmental disability or PDD. This is a very common and sad story.
Vaccines
are not responsible for the decline of major diseases, as we are led to
believe. Read the article on this
website on vaccination. Often vaccines do not work, and they
are very dangerous. Vaccines are especially
dangerous for babies. Longer-term effects of vaccines are
also unclear and difficult to trace.
The
structure of vaccines is such that there is no question that illness could be
triggered later by the use of vaccines.
Many vaccines are still preserved with mercury and aluminum, two very
toxic elements.
Become
well-informed on this issue. Read
the dark side of the story, not just what the health department and doctors
tell you. They are often simply
wrong, and many doctors are in denial on the vaccine issue. A few excellent books include Murder by
Injection and The Poisoned Needle.
Health food stores often have books regarding the dangers of
vaccines. Books are also available
from the National Health Federation, PO Box 688, Monrovia, CA 91017.
THE NEW
HEALTH CARE PARADIGM
The
new way of living, particularly for women, is to take care of your body when you are young so you will have
healthy children. It would
save us all trillions of dollars, extreme heartache and disappointment, and
improve the human race immeasurably.
You can live the new paradigm now!
In
fact, did you know that young ladies used to take much better care of their
bodies than they do today. Women
were discouraged from smoking, drinking alcohol, and using any type of drugs,
including medical drugs unless absolutely needed. They were told not to stay up late, not to use toxic makeup,
and to care for their
bodies as though they are great treasures, which they are. As a result, their children were much
healthier than they are today. For
example, the birth defect rate has doubled since 1950 in the United States and
most of Europe. This is directly
due to bad food and water, and toxic lifestyles.
Today,
everything is backwards. Young
ladies are actually encouraged in college and even high school to stay up late
to get the best grades. They often
eat the worst junk food, and even use drugs, at times, because they are now
ÒliberatedÓ. Many have sex with
their boyfriends, and use birth control pills or patches or IUDs. These are killers of oneÕs health! This is not liberation, it is death.
If you are
wise, young ladies, do not listen to the so-called ÒwomenÕs liberation
movementÓ. Young ladies are taught falsely that they can and should do all
the stupid and dangerous things that the boys do. Thanks to this false teaching, young women today get raped
much more, are sick much more, more depressed, more ADD, get many more sexually
transmitted diseases, and overall are a mess.
Real womenÕs
liberation is to free oneself from all of societyÕs bad habits, instead of
copying menÕs bad habits.
Until
this shift occurs, wise young women will have to take the initiative. Be different from your friends! Maybe you will start a trend.
MORE
DETAILS ON THE TOPICS ABOVE
Avoid ÒlightÓ diets. This means vegetarian food, salads and fruit. This is not good food, no matter what
others tell you. Read Vegetarian Diets, Fruit-eating,
and Raw Foods on this website for details. Instead, eat animal protein daily,
carrot juice as your sweet, and plenty of cooked, not raw vegetables.
Food to avoid.
Do your best to resist the temptations of soda pop, Kool Aid and sugary foods
or drinks of any kind. DonÕt cook
with sugar, honey, maple syrup and donÕt add it to things you eat. Also stay away from anything made with
white flour such as most breads, pastries and most pasta. Other refined foods to strictly avoid
include candy, cookies, ice cream, candy bars including health food bars,
processed cheeses found in most restaurants, processed meats like bologna and
salami, Pop Tarts, most cold cereals, and most canned food except sardines, and
occasionally salmon.
Most
people do not eat enough completely natural foods. They prefer or just end up eating denatured foods - fluffy
white bread, sickeningly sweet sugary foods and beverages, candy, pastries and
more. These have been stripped of
their minerals and vitamins. In
addition, most have added preservatives, colors, irradiation and hundreds of
other additives that further impair the nutritional quality of the food. This stuff (hard to call it food) is
barely more nutritious than its cardboard packaging!
Products to avoid. Stay away from all toxic body care and
skin care products. These include
most nail polish, most perfumes, most hair spray, all hair dyes, smelly
shampoos and soaps, anti-perspirants (use a plain deodorant or some hydrogen
peroxide or lavender soap, perhaps).
Also, do not use toxic substances like pesticides and solvents at home
or anywhere. Always wash your
hands quickly and thoroughly after you are out with people, before you eat, and
if you get your hands dirty.
Also,
do not smoke anything, and do not hang around smoky places like some bars, and
some restaurants. Also avoid
swimming in pools, and definitely stay away from hot tubs, all of which are
contaminated and can easily give you serious infections and compromise your
ability to have a healthy child.
Wear natural fiber clothing, and not synthetics as much as possible.
Do
not trust the media and magazines to inform you about toxins in your food,
water, and body care products.
They usually just want to make money, and are not at all concerned with
your health. Even if they say they
are, I would not trust most sources on this important subject.
Toxic
lifestyles to avoid. These include staying up late (10 PM is getting late),
and not sleeping enough. Most
teens and young women need 9 or 10 hours of sleep every single night.
GirlÕs sports.
Competitive sports are not so good for almost all girls and young teens, even
if it feels good to win, go on sports trips, and get trophies like the
boys. It is often a stupid waste
of time and energy that needlessly exposes young women to rape, and more junk
food. It often wears them out
physically and emotionally, when they should be at home or with good friends,
perhaps at the library studying, or just relaxing peacefully.
Swimming in pools,
by the way, is one of the worst ways that sports exposes women to
infections. ALL OF THEM ARE
CONTAMINATED TO A DEGREE, BECAUSE THEY ARE PUBLIC POOLS. They are all contaminated with
chemicals used to ÒsanitizeÓ the water, which donÕt work that well, and they
are contaminated with viruses, bacteria, and even some parasites that are not
killed by the chlorine, bromine, silver, copper and other horrors that are put
in the water. In addition, when
you spend any amount of time in water you will pick up all the toxic metals and
hundreds of toxic chemicals that already are in tap water today.
So
donÕt feel you must join a team or go out for a sport. It is not necessary. It is better for boys, but not as
necessary for girls.
DONÕT
TRUST THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA FOR YOUR HEALTH NEEDS
Women
also need to learn not to trust the media and their doctors and public health
officials when it comes to health information. These ÒauthoritiesÓ sadly do not deserve their positions. They are often stupid or ignorant, and
often bribed or at least tempted in various ways to go along with drug company
propaganda, physician-caused propaganda and other corrupt activities.
Women
must learn the truth about vaccines, medical drugs, recreational drugs
including marijuana or cannabis, alcohol use, birth control pills and patches
and IUDs, loose sex, and more if they wish to have healthy children.
MORE
ON NUTRITIONAL BALANCING PROGRAMS AND WHY THEY ARE DIFFERENT FROM OTHER HEALING
PROGRAMS
Even
if you feel and look wonderful, it is very important to address subtle
nutritional imbalances that most young people have, often from birth or
childhood. Otherwise they are
passed right onto your unborn children while they are in the womb. This is where nutritional balancing is
excellent.
Screening
for these imbalances is inexpensive using a properly performed and properly
interpreted hair mineral analysis.
Once you receive your analysis and nutritional program, it can take
several months to several years to improve your body chemistry using a
nutritional balancing program.
This will slowly remove layers of imbalances, including all heavy metals
and toxic chemicals, and a dozen or more chronic infections. This is far safer and more profound
than just taking medical, holistic, homeopathic, herbal or naturopathic remedies,
which I find to be far less effective.
WHY
START YOUR PRENATAL PROGRAM NOW
One
of the most important problems with current prenatal care is that usually a
woman does not know she is pregnant until she misses a period, several weeks after
conception. By this time, the
pregnancy is well underway. It is
far too late to begin prenatal care.
The first 8-12 weeks of pregnancy or first trimester are critical for a
babyÕs development and growth. All
the organs and tissues are formed in the first 8-12 weeks.
PRENATAL
CARE AMONG HEALTHY ABORIGINAL PEOPLE
Dr.
Weston Price, DDS, toured the world about a century ago, seeking the most
healthy people he could find. When
he found healthy tribes of people, he studied their ways of eating and living. All the healthy groups were very
concerned about having healthy children.
He
found that in several of the healthy groups, the young girls were given a
special diet in order that they would have the best possible chance for healthy
babies. The diet was started as soon as a girl reached
puberty. This just makes
sense, and it is basically what I am advocating in this article.
INHERITED OR CONGENITAL?
More
and more health conditions today are blamed on faulty genes. This fatalistic idea is not only
depressing, but in many cases incorrect.
The fact is, nutrients
are needed to activate genes.
If the proper nutrition were present, many if not most birth defect
would not occur. Folic acid and
zinc are just two among many vitamins and minerals that can, in fact, prevent
birth defects. This is well known
in medical science, but is basically ignored by doctors who tell young women
they can eat what they want and live unhealthy or stressful lifestyles that
deplete their zinc.
Toxic
metals interfere with nutrients and are highly associated with genetic
defects. Published research proves
that toxic metals such as cadmium, copper, mercury and others pass through the
placenta, affecting the health of the baby. Textbooks on toxic metals refer to
babies as "sinks" for toxic metals. Genetic research is wonderful, but it will never replace
improving the health of the parents in order to produce healthy offspring.
MORE
NUTRITION ISSUES FOR PREGNANCY
Correcting
nutritional imbalances can make a great difference for pregnancy and
birth. Animal breeders know this
well. Sadly, the public and many
doctors do not understand this.
One reason is they are not familiar with tools such as tissue mineral
analysis that can detect imbalances at the cellular level that can be corrected
before pregnancy and birth complications arise.
Very
often oneÕs dietary intake of calcium, magnesium, selenium and zinc often donÕt
even meet the minimum government standards, which are barely enough to keep one
alive! The problem begins with
inferior quality food. Hybrid
crops bred for production, color and flavor, but not nutrition, are grown on
depleted soil and laced with pesticides and herbicides. Calcium, in particular, is very
important for young women.
However, there are few good sources. Pasteurized and homogenized dairy products are not good
sources. One must look to
certified raw dairy products and sources such as cooked green vegetables and
10-12 ounces of preferably fresh carrot juice daily to supply enough.
Eating habits.
Poor eating habits such as eating in the car or eating on the run can ruin even
the best nutritional diet. Eat
sitting down, quietly, and chew your food thoroughly. Do not eat in noisy, dirty or unsafe enviroments. Doing these things stops the stomach
acid from flowing properly and you wonÕt digest as well. Often, you will get gas, bloating and a
full feeling because you are not following healthy eating habits. Animals know this and stop eating if
they are anxious or upset. Do the
same as your cat or dog. Only eat
when relaxed, sitting down comfortably, quietly, and preferably with good
company or just by yourself, but in a safe and peaceful place.
OVER-THE-COUNTER
AND PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS
The Òmedical drug
cultureÓ contributes to many birth defects and problems of pregnancy and birth. A recent article in the New England
Journal of Medicine found that common prescription and over-the-counter
medications increased birth defects in 8000 infants by 120 to 240%.
Did
you know that many prescription medications antagonize or deplete
nutrients? Folic acid antagonists
include tripmethoprim, triampterine, carbamazepine, phenytoin, penobarbitol
(Dilantin) and primidone.
Antibiotics often kill the beneficial bacteria that produce folic acid,
a vitamin necessary to avoid birth defects.
Other
problem medications include Aspirin, barbituates, over-the-counter cough
medicines containing dextromethorphan, Celebrex, cholestyramine (Questran),
Cimetadine, Colistipol, corticosteroids, ethosuximide, hydrochlorthiazide,
indomethacin, methotrexate, methsuximide, nizatidine, non-steroidal
anti-inflammatories, birth control pills, ranitidine bismuth citrate,
ranitidine hydrochloride, and valproic acid. The best idea, by far, is to avoid all over-the-counter
and all prescription medicines unless absolutely needed for a definite physical
disease.
Also,
avoid most skin care
products and cosmetics unless they contain only completely natural
ingredients. Common products such
as hair dyes, nail polish, lipsticks and others often contain toxic chemicals
that can harm a baby as it grows inside the womb. It is not that the product contains such poisonous
substances, although some do, but it is the combination of products used for months or
several years that is the problem.
There are no long-term studies on these products, and they would be
impossible to run studies of combinations of all the products young women, and
some men, use on their bodies today.
All we know is that more and more children are being born defective and
prone to many ailments that did not formerly occur. Poisons tend to accumulate in the body, so why take chances.
TOXIC
METALS AND TOXIC CHEMICALS
When a person
doesnÕt ingest enough essential nutrients, the body absorbs more toxic metals
from the environment. Low
zinc, manganese and vitamin C intake, for example, can cause an increase in
copper. High copper is associated with problems of pregnancy such as morning
sickness, pre-eclampsia, eclampsia and post-partum depression. It also passes through the placenta and
is associated with birth defects, ear infections and learning and developmental
problems in children.
Toxic
metals include mercury used in dental fillings and as a preservative in
vaccines and flu shots. Cadmium is
found in cigarette smoke, tap water and junk foods. Lead is found in paints, dyes, and many other places. All these are highly toxic to the
unborn, and pass easily through the placenta from mother to child.
Toxic
chemicals are also found in household chemicals, cleaners, paints, tap water,
building materials, even synthetic clothing and synthetic carpets. Reducing your toxic load when you
become pregnant is good, but rather late.
It takes many months or years to remove all the toxic chemicals from your
body. Sauna therapy, however, is
one way to greatly speed up the process.
For
example, cadmium found in cigarette smoke has a half-life of 27 years. This means it takes 27 years for half
of it to leave the body. The time
can be shortened with a nutritional balancing program. However, the best time to start
cleaning these out of your body is now.
OTHER
HEALTH CONCERNS
Tissue
mineral testing can detect other imbalances that are important to correct
before becoming pregnant. These include
low thyroid and adrenal glandular activity, an impaired immune response, sugar
and carbohydrate intolerance, hidden infections and impaired digestion. Start fixing these now for a good
pregnancy.
Correcting
these imbalances through diet, supplements and lifestyle changes can make
pregnancy much safer and more pleasant.
It can also ease the birthing process and give a baby a much healthier
start in life.
