OUR SICK BABIES AND CHILDREN
Most
children today are born with significant levels of at least a dozen toxic
metals in their bodies. They are
also ALL nutritional deficient, in my experience, even if the mother and father
do their best to eat healthfully.
This
gives rise to a myriad of health problems in babies and children today, from
simple rashes and infections to birth defects, premature deliveries, delayed
development, autism, cancers and much more.
We
sometimes refer to todayÕs babies and children as burnout babies. This sounds very negative, but it is
actually accurate.
WHAT CAN BE DONE – CREATING
SUPERBABIES
We
have found that rather than having sickly children, in fact any woman can have
a baby that is much healthier than average. This means many fewer doctor visits, fewer infections,
rashes and colds, better nursing, better growth and protection from all
diseases of childhood. In
addition, the child will be far more developed intellectually and physically in
most instances than average.
I
call these children superbabies, as that is what they are. They often a totally bored in school
because they are several grade levels ahead of their peers. They often can run circles around their
peers in athletics, as well as academically and in other areas. They are more mature, with better brain
development. They are usually much
better behaved, and handle stress of all kinds much better than other children.
This
is the promise and the reality of our experience when young women and mothers
are willing to embark on a nutritional balancing program for themselves. It is best to begin a program before
becoming pregnant, as it takes a few years to really upgrade oneÕs health. However, it also is effective if one
begins during pregnancy, as well.
CURRENT MEDICAL PRENATAL CARE
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.
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. Girls
and women, begin your prenatal care now, even if you are a teenager or pre-teen
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, we 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, ice cream,
pastries, donuts, most bagels, and most processed and packaged foods.
Eat
mostly fresh food, not canned or frozen.
Some 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 the best is three times a day – with each meal.
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.
Reduce or
eliminate caffeine. One cup of tea or even
a small cup of regular coffee are okay, though not great. Strictly avoid cappuccinos, lattes and
expressos, which are too strong and irritate the digestive system.
An
exception to the above is that the daily coffee enema, or
even two coffee enemas, do not appear to have negative effects. In fact, they assist detoxification
through the liver and colon in wonderful ways that cannot be accomplished any
other way that I am aware of.
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
fruit and have no fruit juices. It
is all too sugary and yin. This is
very important.
Take
nutritional supplements. We suggest two possible types of
supplement recommendations. They are the generic
supplement regimen and the individualized supplement regimen:
I. The Generic Supplement regimen must include:
1. Paramin 1-1-1 (which means 1 three times daily with
meals).
(This is a very good quality calcium/magnesium supplement).
2. GB-3 1-1-1. (pancreatin and ox bile for
digestion and liver detoxification).
3. EPA-DHA 300 1-1-1. (fish oil with 900 mg
omega-3 fatty acids). Do not use
krill oil, borage oil, primrose oil or others, which are somewhat toxic.
4. Vitamin D3, 5000 iu daily.
5. Kelp, about 4000 mg daily. This must be from NatureÕs Way kelp capsules, or
Endomet kelp or Frontier Herbs kelp granules or powder only. Other brands are more toxic for some
reason.
6. A multi-vitamin.
For pregnancy, everyone needs a multivitamin tablet to serve as a
pre-natal vitamin. We suggest
Megapan from Endomet Labs, at least one per day, in most cases. Note that it does not contain
iron. While some pregnant women
need extra iron, many do not and the iron is slightly toxic if one does not
need it.
II.
The individualized supplement program:
This requires contacting any
of the Approved
Practitioners listed on this website.
He or she will have you fill out some forms and send in a hair
sample. This will allow us to set
up a complete nutritional balancing program for you. This is the best pre-natal care I know of, and will include
about 8 to 10 nutritional supplements and a diet tailored to your particular
needs.
VALUE OF A COMPLETE NUTRITIONAL BALANCING
PROGRAM DURING PREGNANCY
For maximum safety and health
of yourself and your unborn child, 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.
SAFETY
OF NUTRITIONAL BALANCING DURING PREGNANCY
According to our experience
of over 40 years with at least 500 pregnant women, a nutritional balancing
program is extremely safe during pregnancy. This means that I have never seen a negative outcome of a
pregnancy due to following a nutritional balancing program, thus far (2013).
For
example, I am often asked if toxic metals from a pregnant motherÕs body that
are eliminated due to her nutritional balancing program will find their to the
baby and cause problems. This does
not appear to occur. In fact, the
opposite occurs. Placing the
mother on a nutritional balancing program greatly assists the baby to be born
with fewer toxic metals.
I
am also asked if a healing reaction in the mother can negatively affect the
baby. Once again, I have not seen
this occur.
I
have also been asked if a nutritional balancing program provides all the
nutrients a pregnant woman requires.
The answer is yes, except in a few cases such as four lows pattern and
fast oxidation. The next section
discusses this topic, along with the requirement that one avoid sauna sessions
during pregnancy, as these can affect the unborn child.
Although
we have never seen a problem, we continue to research and study pregnant women
on programs to make sure they are safe.
CHANGES TO A NUTRITIONAL BALANCING PROGRAM
FOR PREGNANCY
1. Avoid the use of near infrared lamp
saunas, although using one for five to ten minutes daily is probably okay. This is because the fetus might
be sensitive to the infrared rays.
I have never seen any damage of this kind, but safety is best.
2. If you are on a four lows program or
a fast oxidizer program, you must add one Megapan tablet to your program.
This is
because a four lows nutritional balancing program does not contain a multi-vitamin-mineral. This is not an issue if one is already
taking a pre-natal vitamin, but it is important if you are not taking a
pre-natal multivitamin.
(I do not
recommend most medically-prescribed pre-natal
vitamin-mineral pills. They
usually are not designed for oneÕs metabolic type so they will unbalance the
body chemistry. They also do not
contain enough of some nutrients, and they may contain cheap or less effective
forms of some nutrients such as iron that are irritating.)
3. Iron. Most nutritional balancing programs do
not contain an iron supplement. We
find it is not needed in many cases of pregnancy if the lady eats red meat
twice weekly or more, and eats dark green cooked vegetables (not salads)
several times weekly.
However,
later in a pregnancy, some women will need an iron supplement
as the baby will take on a three-year supply of iron from the mother. In this case, I suggest adding 3 or 4
desiccated liver tablets or a chelated iron supplement to the program. The liver tablets will unbalance the
body chemistry the least. Standard
iron tablets are very irritating to the digestive system and not recommended.
FOUR LOWS, AGE 40 AND PREGNANCY
At this
time, I do not suggest getting pregnant if you are over age 40 or if you are in
a four lows pattern on a hair test.
These factors just complicate pregnancy, and increase the chances of
mishaps, complications and birth defects that are avoidable.
PROBLEMS OF PREGNANCY
Morning Sickness. This
is very common today. The symptom
is nausea, which can last all day and can be so extreme that a pregnant woman
begins to lose weight and become malnourished because she cannot hold down
enough food to even keep up her weight.
This is extremely damaging for both mother and child.
Coffee enemas are wonderful for morning sickness, and will give the
woman several hours, at least, of freedom from nausea so she can eat. It is fine to repeat the enemas daily,
or twice daily, if needed.
Eclampsia
Weight gain
Diabetes
MEDICAL
INTERVENTIONS
OTHER IMPORTANT ASPECTS ABOUT PRENATAL CARE
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.
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.
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.
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. Dr. Paul Eck said this over and over
again, and it is correct.
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
Sadly,
public health authorities and most doctors do not understand the critical
relationship between superior nutrition and having healthy children. 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.
