(Revised July 23, 2004)



    Some comments for participation to add more information on any false medical teachings and practices, are at the end. Please check back frequently because this page has added information, often .  A Petition for natural birth education and practice and no harvesting of the babies is available.  


    Please share your concerns in your local community.  Write letters to the College of Physicians and Surgeons why best practice possible least risk of harm to the birthing mother and the child are not taught or natural birth education and practice as informed choice and right of a signed birth contract as being told the mother.  Or, her legal right to birth in the security of her own home, as long as she has a birth witness with her, at all times, to assist as the mother so directs, being informed what is a natural birth; or, preferably, to have a natural birth in a rented hospital room. This is so if there are any concerns of a risk of complications arising, the birthing mother is close in location, to necessary medical help.  This means a medical person does not do anything for the birthing mother, unless the mother specifically asked and invited the professional into the birth room.


    A Signed Birth Contract of what cannot be done to the mother's body for her to birth a baby, should be required. Facts of risks of any drugs offered, Demerol and/or oxytocins or both, must be required by known risk and preservatives in such drugs used in labor and during the birth of the child.  The manufacturer should be stated all risks and facts about Oxytocin. One, it is an abortion drug. It terminates a pregnancy by harsh muscle contractions. This fact not told to women wanting a healthy baby and delivery.  


    If the birth contracts are not signed by the medical doctor and birth care center, as to a growing military defiance of a woman being in charge of natural birth and informed choice and indications that the medical person will do as they please and desire to the mother and her child, I strongly advise, don't fight a corrupted medical system. But, rather, choose to birth safely, unassisted by a professional person, in one's own home and privacy. After all, emergency births happen all the time and being prepared and in control for one, is most wise.  See simple birth, below,  as to any disaster and medical services are not available or state of the art care.


    This was the legal right of natural birth, which pregnancy is not a sickness requiring a medical person's care, and was demonstrated a safe procedure in 95 percent of all pioneer's birth.  An example, my mother being the first born of 10 children, most of them, born on the farm, she being the first of an unassisted birth.  Both parents are alive today, age 90.  Therefore,,  like the pioneers did, use, by choice no drugs, but allow the body's own hormones to work as a team between mother and child.  This means there needs to be no cutting of their bodies, if the women birth in a position of their choice, and not forced in a prone position, ideal to cutting of her body and tools to pull out the baby, in a birth canal closed by 30 percent, known, too, since 1913.  In most instances 95 percent of all births, the babies were healthy, if conceived in healthy bodies of a mother and father with healthy reproduction systems.  Not so today, for many young persons, trapped on drugs and alcohol addictions.


    Likely, these addictions are caused by drugged births experienced by them, and being damaged, seeking self-medication.  Every person, living today, must have legal rights to have had proper and accurate birth records that should have been put in the child's own medical record.  This not being done by either the nurse or the doctors of our times.  Why not.  They are either, in collusion, concealing birth damage and harvesting of babies, concealing facts of evidence of trace elements of drugs in the placenta, and thus the baby's blood system.

BIOLOGY BOOKS and School Library Reference Books:


Reproduction, The Cycle of Life, by Karen Jensen and the Editors of U.S. News Books, page 98.  ISBN 0-89193-606-8, ISBN 0-89193-666-1 (school ed.) This book was a rarity at the local, Junior High School, that directed delayed umbilical cord clamping. To quote:


 ". . .Once the head and shoulders have emerged the rest of the birth proceeds rapidly.  The baby's body is finally free of its nine-month-long home.  The pearly blue umbilical cord still links child to womb, sending him blood from the placenta.  The doctor will wait until the cord has stopped pulsating before clamping it above the baby's abdomen and severing it ."   (See below how they, without informed consent use the placentas).


    This book also states, the quote below, what the Hospitals do with the placenta, and if the placenta is full of stem cell blood, it is likely the placenta is drained and sent to stem cell blood banks, when the blood full of nutrients and enzymes, proteins, and likely iron reserves, out to have been allowed to be in the infant/owner.  


    This book gives some evidence that the hospitals, such as their labs, many now private enterprises, have participated in sending the placentas to drug companies, the same way aborted babies are sent to drug companies, is evident as to this message of acknowledgment what the doctors and hospital do with the placenta, to quote:  


    P 98, " After the placenta is delivered, the doctor will examine it to make sure it is intact.  It is then discarded or sold to companies for use in research or beauty products. "


     (Note, most hospital nurses get frustrated when you ask them questions, how is the placenta discarded....they will not say it is sent to drug companies, they want to lead you to believe it is burned.   Not so, according to this statement.  In British Columbia, Canada, it is alleged all the human organs and he baby's placentas are sent over to the United States.   We have no way of knowing if the tissues are being ground up and put in centrifugal equipment and coming back to as various extractions of enzymes, hormones, white, cells, red cells, stem cells.   We are totally at blind trust as to our medical care and services).

_______________________________________________

While the above biology and health reference book on reproduction indicates doctors and medical persons (including nurses) were adequately and competently trained not to clamp a pulsating cord to endanger any baby, this medical manual, below, indicated if they did not have patience to wait until all pulsation ceased, the child would be deprived up to 60 percent total blood volume:


This Medical Manual, Manual of Nursing Practice, which has been made available in most hospital libraries, indicated knowledge of up to 60 percent total blood volume denied the babies who were early cord clamped, to quote . . .


Manual of Nursing Practice , 3rd Edition, The publisher, J. B. Lippincott, Company, Philadelphia & Toronto.1978-1982, stated empirical facts of science, observable if the placenta is drained after immediate cord clamping, that in the circulation changes of the fetus circulation to adult,  these facts, to quote . . .


    "Placental transfusion at birth  --increase in blood volume of 60% if cord is clamped and cut "after" pulsation ceases."

WIE ISBN 0=471-22472-3, on page 1076, states, too the use of the placenta for drug research and use, to quote:


    " Pharmaceutical companies use human placentas as a source of hormone, drugs, and blood:   portions of placentas are also used for burn coverage.  The placental and umbilical cord veins can also be used in blood vessel grafts, and cord blood can be frozen to provide a future source of pluripotent stem cells, for example, to repopulate red bone marrow following radiotherapy for cancer."


    On page 754, Figure 21.31 gives a fetal circulation charge and the difference between the neonate adult circulation.  It, however, fails to relate that the placenta has up to 60 percent total blood volume to be transfused into the child's expanding lungs, needed to do the gas exchange the placenta formally did. It fails to mention in that area of circulation topic the nutrients of value to the child that will be deprived when they acknowledge clamping off the cord...but not mentioning that is not a necessary procedure, merely cosmetic.  They do not tell the students, that of the endangering of interruption of the circulation system, and death by shock of low blood volume and pressure.  Why not?

World Health Organization , (W.H.O.) has given a warning on Oxytocin (Syntocinon, Toesen, Pitocin are the other names). But, they did not tell each Country's own Food and Drug Authorities or to the drug manufacturers of Oxytocin, that it is a harmful drug requiring the endangering of the child to be immediately cord clamped.  Therefore, the drug manufacturers do not warn the mothers of 20 to 50 percent total blood volume deprivation if this drug is used any time of labor or induction of it.  Here is the links of that failure to each nation that contributes to the W.H.O.  And, W.H.O. has no active links to the representatives responsible for this statement not qualified by clinical reference link as to their opinion stated.

See also Dupont developing a clamping and cutting tool, without warning the baby will have 20 to 50 percent total blood volume deprived if the cord is clamped soon after birth.  The placenta nutrients will not be transfused into the baby's expanding lungs.

The World Health Organization's 1998 Review on umbilical cord clamping:

http://www.who.int/reproductive-health/publications/MSM_98_4/MSM_98_4_chapter3.en.html

http://www.tyvek.com/na/medicalpack/english/pdf/rx_jan2002.pdf


     "In the United States and the European Community, mothers routinely receive Oxytocin to shrink the uterus during delivery.  If this drug isn't prevented from reaching the newborn through the umbilical cord, the baby's brain development can be adversely affected.


    Consequently, the World Health Organization (WHO) states that early or relatively early clamping of the umbilical cord is mandatory after the administration of Oxytocin.


  tyvekinf@usa.dupont.com     for information and questions why they do not give W.H.O. specific medical references.   They Dupont and W.H.O. have  failed to mention one of the other reasons for directing immediate cord clamping after the use of oxytocin/pitocin is that there is fear the womb will shut down before the placenta is expelled, and then require an operation to remove the placenta.   ???

Past K-12 Biology textbooks directed immediate cord clamping, teaching a medical directive of harm to a baby.


        Biology, MacMillan,  Joan G. Creager, et al, 1985,  p 708, This book was used at the local High School, in Dawson Creek, BC.  It may yet be still available as a reference source.  The book, which I have a copy in my possession,  misdirects the student that breathing of the human baby is caused by severing the umbilical cord.  

    The author is directing a "sharp slap" on the backside is necessary to make the baby take its first breath. While there was reference to medical diagrams of the women placed flat on their back, the most harmful of birth positions plus semi-sitting positions for women, the quotation below, seemed to be the opinion and medical directives of the authors of this book.  The book was used in some British Columbia schools.

  1. Biology, Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings,  Neil A. Campbell, et al, 6th Ed, 2002; ISBN 0-8053-6624-5  Used at the local College, Northern Lights College.  This book also demonstrates the back position of birth which is harmful to both the birthing mother and the child.  

        This book has three lines, and the wrong three lines:  "Continuos strong contractions force the fetus down and out of the uterus and vagina.  The umbilical cord is cut and clamped at this time.  The final stage of labor is delivery of the placenta, which normally follows the baby."  There is no opportunity for the woman to know clamping should not be done before all pulsation ceases, and that it is only cosmetic, and does not need to be done except for an emergency of (1) The placenta cord broke, or (2), during a c-section, for reasons of a placenta previa, and the cord was cut, the cord is clamped.  But emergency situations would require correction of the child to have the means of help with external oxygen and blood.

  1. Nelson, Biology, British Columbia Edition, Bob Ritter, et al, 1996, ISBN 0-17-604977-0.  This book is used at the local Dawson Creek High School.

        Comments:  This book contains undisputed facts on blood circulation and the fetal development. However, there is no information provided for the actual birth of the child and the change from fetal circulation to neonate/adult.  


There is no information offered, that I could find, to inform the future mothers and fathers to protect their child's pulsating umbilical cord from circulation interference (hand-squeezing or clamping) until the placenta is birthed and all pulsation ceases in the cord, naturally. Information missing is the condition of the cord before cosmetic detachment is done.  This would be the cord is white/silver, limp and not pulsating and the child's lips and tongue are NOT blue.  The child should be revived where is, how is, in-between-the-legs of the mother, to give oxygen and massage, if and as is necessary.  (Grade 11, 12, British Columbia schools).

  1. Inquiry Into Life, McGraw-Hill Higher Education, , Sylvia S. Mader, 9th Edition, 2000, ISBN 0-697-36070-9. This book is used a the local high school.  It is one of my favorites, and provides an excellent diagram of the child's placenta and internal connections to the fetus's circulation system.  There were a few short comings of this book.   

    • The book on a positive side informs the woman of proper birth-positions using gravity, one of the first books to have corrected flat on the back  supine (semi-sitting) birth  positions:  Figure 22.17, page 461;

    • It has excellent heart diagrams of the circulation system;

    • It has a good information on the fetal circulation and the placenta, Fig 22.15, page 459, and explains, "The fetus has circulatory features that are not present n the adult circulation. All of these features can be related to the fact that the fetus does not use its lungs for gas exchange. For example, much of the blood entering the right atrium is shunted into the left atrium through the oval opening (foramen ovale) between the two atria.  Also, any blood that does enter the right ventricle and is pumped into the pulmonary trunk is shunted into the aorta by way of the arterial duct (ductus arteriosus).  

    • It describes the uterine contractions correctly as, 15-20 minutes and last for 40 seconds or more.  Parturition, which includes labor and expulsion of the fetus, usually is considered to have three stages . . 1st cervic dilates; 2nd the infant is born; and during the 3rd, the after-birth is expelled.

    • It fails to inform of the benefits of warm water births, and prepare a woman to accept an episiotomy, stating the passage of the vagina may not expand enough to allow passage of the head without tearing.  They state this incision, enlarges the vaginal opening, is stitched later and heals more perfectly than a tear.  (Comment that is not necessarily true and is a misleading condition of acceptance without dissent of the women to any cutting of her body.

    • It gives a directive message, which is contrary to good science, by stating, "It is interesting to note that the umbilical arteries and vein run alongside one another in the umbilical cord, which is "cut" at birth, leaving only the umbilicus (navel), page 458.  

    • It clarifies on page 460, "Once the infant is breathing normally, the umbilical cord is cut and tied, severing the child from the placenta.  The stump of the cord shrivels and leaves a scar, which is the navel."  

    • It states on page 459,  "The most common of all cardiac defects in the newborn is the persistence of the oval opening. With the tying of the cord and the expansion of the lungs, blood enters the lungs in quantity."  

      • This is misinformation.  The lungs must draw the blood from other organs and tissue, if the umbilical cord is clamped before the full perfusion of the lungs take place, causing the infant to be anemic, and having insufficient blood and volume.  The child may go into shock and die, unless adequate oxygenated blood is given.

    • It continues . . ."Return of this blood to the left side of the heart usually causes a "flap" to cover the opening. Incomplete closure occurs in nearly one out of four individuals, but even so, passage of the blood from the right atrium to the left atrium rarely occurs because either the opening is small or it closes when the atria contract.

    • In a small number of cases, the passage of impure blood from the right side to the left side of the heart is sufficient to cause a "blue baby."  The arterial duct closes because endothelial cells divide and block off the duct.  Remains of the arterial duct and parts of the umbilical arteries and vein later are transformed into connective tissue."  

    • It fails to inform the women of choice of no clamping or cutting the cord ever, a method used by some Pioneers prior to about 1923, and used by some cultures today, and no clamping is revived in Canada and the States, called now the Lotus Birth.

    • it fails  do not encourage the woman to known this is not a necessary amputation, and no harm done not to do this cosmetic procedure, and fail to mention the benefits of no clamping:   

      • no risk of cord blood infections of super bug that can be picked up at the hospital by clamping and cutting the cord;

      • fail to mention that no clamping assures the baby of full blood transfusion from the placenta to the child, about 4 to 6 ounces of blood depending on the size of the child.  

    • The book is good explaining infant defects, page 456, states 1 in 16 newborns has a birth defect, either minor or serious, and the actual percentage may be even higher; explains Amniocentesis, testing of the amniotic fluid, but fails to warn most fetus abort after this process getting infections;

    • The book is good that it provides for the benefit of breast feeding, and explains Homeostasis, as:

      • the blood glucose concentration remains at about 100 mg/100 ml.; the pH of blood is always near 7.4.; blood pressure in the brachial artery averages near 120/80 mm Hg.; and body temperature averages around 37 C (98.6 F).  

      • They state the internal environment consists of tissue fluid, which bathes all the cells of the body. Tissue fluid is refreshed when molecules such as oxygen and nutrients exit blood and wastes enter blood (Fig.11.11.). Tissue fluid remains constant only as long as blood composition remains constant.  

      • Although we are accustomed to using the word environment to mean the external environment of the body, it is important to realize that it is the internal environment of tissues that is ultimately responsible for our health and well-being.  

      • Most systems of the body contribute toward maintaining a relatively constant internal environment.  The cardiovascular system conducts blood to and away from capillaries, the smallest of the blood vessels, whose think walls permit exchanges to occur.

      •  Blood pressure aids the movement of water out of capillaries, and osmotic pressure aids the movement of water into capillaries.  

      • Blood pressure is created by the pumping of the heart, while osmotic pressure is maintained by the protein content of plasma.  The formed elements also contribute to homeostasis.  Red blood cells transport oxygen and participate in the transport of carbon dioxide.  White blood cells fight infection, and platelets participate in the clotting process.  

      • The lymphatic system is accessory to the circulatory system.  Lymphatic capillaries collect excess tissue fluid and this is returned via lymphatic veins to the circulatory veins.  The chief regulators of blood composition are the liver and the kidneys. They monitor the chemical composition of plasma and alter it as required. Immediately after glucose enters the blood, it can be removed by the liver for storage as glycogen.  

      • Later, the glycogen can be broken down to replace the glucose used by the body cells; in this way, the glucose composition of blood remains constant.  The hormone insulin, secreted by the panaceas, regulates glycogen storage.  The liver also removes toxic chemicals, such as ingested alcohol and other drugs.  

      • The liver makes urea, a nitrogenous end product of protein metabolism.  Urea and other metabolic waste molecules are excreted by the kidneys. Urine formation by the kidneys is extremely critical to the body, not only because it rids the body of unwanted substances, but also because it offers an opportunity to carefully regulate blood volume, and salt balance, and the pH of the blood.  

        • The nervous system and endocrine system are ultimately in control of homeostasis.  The endocrine system is slower acting than the nervous system, which rapidly brings about a particular response.  It explains in more detail the functions of the various organs, hormones, and enzymes.

        C. Previously Collected Tissue, Article 10.3, page 10.4

        (a) When identification is possible, researchers shall seek to obtain free and informed consent from individuals, or from their authorized third parties, for the use of their previously collected tissue. the provisions of article 10.2 also apply here.

        (b)  When collected tissue ha been provided by persons who are not individually identifiable (anonymous and anonymized tissue), and when there are no potential harms to them, there is no need to seek donor's permission to use their tissue for research purposes, unless applicable law so requires."


Comments of Donna Young:  Who owns tissue?  The trend of early umbilical cord clamping for the harvesting of the child's deprived blood, used as raw materials, is being received by some of the private cord stem cell blood banks. Some can receive tissue donations from the hospitals.  These private stem cell blood banks, many operating on University campuses, receiving the child's deprived placenta blood are alleging that there is no harm done to the child by early umbilical cord clamping.  This is with their knowingly from that deprivation to the child, some 20 to 50 to 60 percent total blood volume.  This means they are taking from each child, early clamped, 4 to 6 ounces of blood or 60 to 180 ml.  They have received this deprived child's blood, in my opinion, without true informed consent of the legal guardians of the child, that the child was endangered, and many of the children are later having to have care and treatment for internal damages to organs, or poor heath.  This blood deprivation, is being done, particularly to premature children who have more stem cells then full term babies, is without true consent of the endangering of the child.  Many hospitals use the Tri-Council Policy Statement as a guideline.  From it, they have made their own internal policy of no informed consent of use of the placenta and/or placenta blood in lab research of their own hospitals or in sending, for compensation of collection fees of organs and blood types.  

    As to laws that may be applicable, they are the Constitution and the right of the individual to make informed consent decisions.  In the case of the child, parents are not aware of the policies of protocol, such as Policy of the experts, directing immediate and early clamping on all babies.  An example of breach of trust of informed consent is the John Moore case-law.  Moore thought appropriate discarding of his organ, his spleen, and the blood samples taken were destroyed by burning.  Moore found out later the doctor, in collaboration with a private lab, had used his tissue for cloning of interferon.  There was profits for the doctor and the lab to share, when they sold the cloned interferon on the market for $3 billion dollars within 3 months of the cloned tissue.  Moore sued for his share, and settled out-of-court for an alleged amount of about 1/2 million dollars for breach of fiduciary trust.  

    The reason Moore's spleen was removed was believed for a rare disease, Hairy Celled Leukemia.  If true, how healthy was the cloned interferon?   Interferon is the protein/hormone/enzyme that fights "all" virus attacks on the human body.  I believe it would be released in distressed babies who are actively managed during birth labor and the birth itself, with manipulation of drugs, such as morphine (Demerol), and oxytocin, known also as Pitocin, Syntocinon, or Toesen.  Other abortion causing gels and creams are misoprostol, or cytotec.  See case-law references, below.

        • Note" The transfusion of blood products to neonates (infants up to 28 days of age) is common.  Older infants, especially those with problems after premature birth, may also require transfusions.

        • Most frequently, erythrocytes are transfused to restore circulating blood volume, to increase oxygen-carrying capacity or to replace blood removed for laboratory tests." Key words of conditions of blood-oxygenated neonates/infants are: hypovolemic shock treatment erythrocyte replacement; Fluorocarbons tried had no appreciable benefit, they do not contribute to oxygen delivery unless accompanied by a high oxygen tension (greater than 300 mm Hg), which may be damaging, expecially in premature neonates.  

        • From 10% to 15% of the blood volume in seriously ill neonates is often removed for laboratory tests over 2 to 3 days.
          • Clinical signs: feeding difficulties, tachycardia, tachypnea, diminished activity and pallor; neonatal apnea; episodes of bradycardia; cardiorespiratory problems; bronchopulmonary dysplasia and treated with the concomitant use of furosemide.
          • Risks of transfusion, 3 of most importance:  
          • CMV cytomegalovirus infection; graft-v.-host disease ; and hyperkalemia.
          • Irradiation of blood is called for first-degree relatives.  Radiation may be associated with a release of erythrocyte potassium; 4-day old blood has an increased potassium concentration ; older blood in small volumes does not pose substantive risks to stable premature infants.
          • Fresh blood or washed erythrocyte concentrate may be used for transfusion in very premature infants in whom there is concern about nonoliguric hyperkalemia.  
          • Summary.   The transfusion of erythrocytes to neonates and premature infants is common and should be minimized through a reduction in the number of blood samples taken for laboratory tests .

"In event the mother and the child are both in good condition, it is best to wait ten or twelve minutes before tying the cord, so as to give the child the advantage of the extra blood it will secure from the afterbirth."  

    • Sadly, The Home Physician and Guide to Health, put reviving a child off its pulsating cord. They gave example of a compromised child being a child who had cord around the neck, as an excuse to tie and cut the cord. Children, at birth, are still breathing through the cord if the placenta is still attached inside the womb.
    • What they did, seeing a cord around the child's neck, was to cut the cord and tie it off, and then dunked the baby, repeatedly, in warm and cold water, hoping this shock treatment would revive the child now having little volume of blood and oxygen and nutrients to nourish its nervous system and brain. Pages 647-648. Many of these children survived to live impaired lives.
    • It is strange, then, as it is now, that they did not think of putting two fingers between the neck and the cord, to prevent neck injury, rather then to clamp a pulsating and still blood transfusing cord.
    • And it was strange, then, as it is today, that they did not think of revival in-between-the-mother's legs, the child warmed in a warmed towel, and gently massaged and expel any mucus from nose and mouth with clean fingers or a clean cloth.  



POLITICAL LETTERS, MLAS MPS:

      1. Local attitude of elected officials and hospital board members:  Blair Lekstrom, MLA, and Jay Hill, MP, from D. Young September 28, 2001, Under Access to Information and Privacy Act, concealing informed choice to prevent injury to both the woman and the newborn infant, referenced to Hospital Board Chair, at that time, Mr. George Caisley, Dawson Creek. Caisley, had personally stated to Donna Young, to quote:
      •  "If women were drugged during labor and during the birth of her child, and the doctor clamped the umbilical cord immediately, it was all the women's own fault."
      •   As he was a former school teacher, perhaps, he knew parents to be were properly educated to protect their offspring. It was after that conversation I went to the local schools to see if proper education on the umbilical cord and the purpose of the placenta were taught.  I discovered that false information or no information was in most textbooks from the 1980's, but a one biology reference book in the Junior High School did correctly state not to clamp the pulsating cord but said after the correct procedure the placenta was sent for use by cosmetic corporations or research. The private Christian schools were not better, not teaching anything of fact of the proper care of the human child, during and after birth, regarding the umbilical cord.   See www.123-baby-birth.com ; www.123babybirth.com

Young as to letter dated March 15, 1999, reply was dated:  April 6, 1999 NOTE: "Your theories regarding learning difficulties are interesting.  However, you have been misinformed about the practise of obstetrics.  A child's umbilical cord is not cut and clamped until it has stopped pulsating .
        • Letter also raised concerns of damaged infant by mothers using alcohol FAS resulting.
        • This letter's response was factually misleading as to Policy #71, December 1998 of SOGC, was already allowing for early cord clamping (30-seconds after birth) and that 20 to 50 percent total blood volume of the infant was deprived causing weakness in the child to recovery from 6 weeks to 6 months. (likely anemia caused by deprived blood).  this Canadian reference may not have been in their data bank, they used an American data bank, MDConsult).

      1. MAR, Gary, Q.C. Minister of Health and Wellness, Reply to Jan 12, 2001 letter regarding policies and practices in Alberta, per se, the Edmonton's Royal Alexandra Hospital practices. No parental consent to drain the blood from the placenta and use it however they wished, approved by the Alberta College of Physicians and Surgeons, aware of that going on.

      1. Lawrence, Patti, CPS Alberta, letter sent to her Jan. 12, 2001, from D. Young, copy of letter to Gary Mar, Q.C.

      1. Case 00-227, Criminal Allegations:  Kamloops Statement (They did not forward to Vancouver, BC).  This was also regarding violated babies in their own community.  I spoke personally to new mothers who were very surprised their baby was removed from the umbilical within what they believed were seconds after the child's birth and they were not warned or asked if the doctor could do that.  RCMP were asked to speak to those in Kamloops. The mothers stated their babies taken instantly off their umbilical cords, alleging public must be helped, gave information of studies of two years, supported by medical doctors (Dr. G. M. Morley's articles). As of March 2004, my last visit to Kamloops was an increased budget for the increased need to deal with autistic children in their area.   

      1. Beattie, G. T. Cst, RCMP, Kamloops letter to/ from D. Young, January 14, 2001, File No. 00-227. Criminal allegations.  I gave a referenced to a Kamloops Dr. in Kamloops who was trained at the U of O, to do only immediate cord clamping, and Beattie could get all the children's names in the Kamloops area of the babies born in Year 2000, easily for investigation.  And A. Crawford, Ethic Committee, Kamloops, alleged no policies of informed consent by parents.
      •         What parent can given informed consent to any medical persons violating equal protection and security of person of a child's being deprived of 20 to 50 percent total blood volume, when low blood pressure and volume of blood will be to the organ, the brain, that can least tolerate oxygen deprivation and to the nervous system as well. Or have anemic babies vaccinated with live diseases from vaccinations likely loaded with mercury, and possibly radioactive mercury, as to invoice of suppliers to the manufacturers of all vaccinations and flu shots.  

        • Shared concerns to the others contacted were,
        • Dr. Margaret Somerville, McGill University, Dean of Law, UBC, (she implied the early clamping was a problem  similar to circumcised babies, which is a operation for cosmetic procedures, only, for religious beliefs, in some cases, not a medical need for all babies).
        • Dean of Medicine UBC, Dr. John Cairn, (Said training protocols for licensing were the duty of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC).
        • No solutions offered or for investigation by a Commissioned Inquiry by:  The Ministers of Justice, Fed & Provincial, Most MLA, and MPs, Question if the BC Medical Plan was paying for the Immediate Cord Clamping, gave conclusion of Dr. Morley's Study, with 27 references, plus Nov 2000 The Compromised Child, The Advertiser Bargain Hunter & More with Dr. Erasmus Darwin's quote of 1801;
        • spoke to lawyer, E. H. who admitted her children, too, had ICC; also, no solution offered.
        • Am J. Clin Nutr 1997 Feb;65(2):425-31 research iron deficiency not evident with delayed clamping; and
        • study of J.S. Mercer* and
        • C. C. Nelson, and R. L. Skovgaard, delayed clamping favorable,
        • J. Midwifery Womens Health 2000, Jan-February; 45 (1) : 58-66, University of Rhode Island College of Nursing, Nurse Midwifery Program, Kingston, 02881,USA. These randomized tested babyies were only given 30-second clamping, (early clamping not full delayed waiting for the completion of the child's birth, the placenta born before any clamping or primal no clamping or cutting of the cord at all.  EC was the newest trend rather then immediate clamping and these yet compromised babies still needed yet revival if they were to live at all. But they did get a tad more blood then immediate cord clamping as to doctors doing that on premature babies.  Some institutions were using 30-second clamping, early clamping and calling it delayed.

      1. Crawford, A. Ethics Committee, Kamloops, research in a City larger then DC, but smaller then a lower mainland hospital, to confirm care and treatment to infants.  Unable to do anything.

      1. Infections of newborn babies:  Sunday, Province, September 29, 2002 Page 1, Superbug threatens babies at Children's. "Three tiney premature babies at Children's Hospital have been exposed to a dangerous microbe called MRSA - Methicillin-resistant staphyloccus aureus --- and the fear is that if it gets into the babies' blood, doctors migh have to use an antibiotic that would itself imperil the infants (page A3, continued), An outbreak of MRSA at B.C. Children's in 1998 killed two babies and infected 47. The MRSA is resistant to antibiotics such as penicillin and methicillin. Only Vanco, or Vancomycin, can, as a last resort, wipe the bugs out--but the risk of injecting babies wit more bacteria could worsen their precarious health.  Meantime, the killer bug can become even stronger.  It is not something that is easy to get rid off, says Dr. Alfonso Solimano.
      • Comments of Donna Young:
      • If the placenta cord was not clamped and cut and the babies remained with their mothers, in a private birth room, and the babies no early clamped from the pulsating cord, if done at all, they child would get the benefit of placenta full blood transfusion into the child's expanding lungs, consequently, all babies would be stronger babies, including premature and c-section babies.
      • The babies would not have a fear of a virus getting into their blood stream.  
      • Prior to the 1865, when dirty hands, and clothing was allowed for the birthing mothers, 12 out of 100 women died and the babies too. The work of two doctors brough concerns of prenatal and child delivery care, Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-1894) of Boston, and Dr. Ignaz Phillipp Semmelweis,Budapest, (1818-1865) wrote about Puerperal Fever, and the prevention was cleaniness, simply washing one's hands, and putting on clean clothing around the mother and newborn child. Doctors went from dealing with a corpse to delivery a baby, spreading germs to patient to patient.
      • The insertion of needles and cutting of the cord allow for the viruses to enter.  They can be slow or fast acting.  
      • Pioneers, prior to the 1920's, when they birthed their babies safely in their own homes, 93 to 95 percent of all births were without complications, they did not tie or cut the cord. C-sections made up the other percentage.  C-sections were a last resort, only after the mother had died, was the baby removed to spare the child's life (Catholic Encyclopedias).  C-sections are yet a mother's choice and cannot be imposed, see a UK Supreme Court Appeal ruling below.   
      • The pioneers had many strong blue ribbon babies, but institutional births changed that and the protocol became cosmetic removal of the palcenta and cord, with consequences the blood in the placenta was used, without informed consent in experiments of the hospital.  The child and the mother had been risked to germs getting into the cut cord.
      • The World Health Organization reports 400,000 to 500,000 babies die, annualy, of infections to the cut cord. It takes 5 to 15 days for a cut cord, whereas, it takes one to days of inconvenience of leaving the child on the placenta and cord, for the natural following away, see the Declaration of Dr. Sarah Buckley at, www.lotusbirth.com/doc/FEB2003Lotusbirth-314.htm
      •  This active management of cutting the umbilical cords and clamping them requires higher medical services in supplying strong drugs to be used to destroy bacteria that enters the child where needles or cord clamping exposed the child's blood stream to such germs.  The high cost of medical services in Canada are for children under one year of age and for Seniors.  We cannot prevent aging but we can prevent internal damages to children by stopping clamping or tying or hand-squeezing off the pulsating cord.  
      • A method of hand-squeezing is secretly done by medics and doctors and others drained how to squeeze off the pulsating cord, and the parents, cannot see what the medical persons are doing, as they are blocke by a sheet, and have blind trust the doctors are not after the baby's placenta blood and are doing anything at all to trap the blood in the palcenta, even a cold room in delivery causes hypothermia and the child not put immediately in a warmed towel, the child, yet untied and the cord allowed to pulsate, which can be visually seen to be up to sometimes 20 minutes.  We must question early clamping of 30 seconds, or any clamping before the placenta, the child's organ, is naturally expelled and remains with the child, for the parents removal at their time convenience, if removed at all.  Parental choice must prevail and duty is not to endanger the child, not even taking one drop of blood from a pulsating umbilical cord.

MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS ACT, COLLEGES ROLE TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC:

      1. Medical Practitioners Act, (RSBC 1996) Chapter 285 Note:  Duty of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC #3 (1) It is the duty of the college at "all" times (a) to serve and protect the public, and to exercise its powers and discharge its responsibilities under all enactments in the public interest.  

        • SOGC, in 1998, they allowed Policy #71, December 1998 of SOGC to go unchallenged, knowing babies were being, willfully, deprived 20 to 50 percent of placenta blood, of total volume of the infant's whole blood, containing stem cells for continued cell growth in the brain; red cells, mature to take the place of dead cells that die every 45 days, or less; white cells to fight infections; plasma; platelets to clot the blood; and they permitted the hasty clamping about 30-seconds after birth, and immediate clamping to allow the baby to be weakened from 6 weeks to 6 months before all traces of the blood deprivation were not so noticeable;

        • SOGC, in May 2000, they allowed Policy #89, directing "immediate clamping on all babies."

        • CPS- BC permitted, without dissent, Policy #89, May 2000, of SOGC to direct immediate cord clamping on "all" babies, and once the blood was deprived, the Tri-Council, had prepared in 1998, that any waste blood trapped in the placenta, was the Province's right to use as it wished, without informed consent of the parents, not able to stop the criminal assault and battery on their baby, going home, just with a "living" baby, not the blue-ribbon-baby they had planned for.  Tri-Council Policy Statement, August 1998, C. Previously Collected Tissue Article 10.3 (b), page 10.4

        • This is perceived as breach of fiduciary  trust.  The public does not expect to have deleterious medical treatments exploiting the mother's body to produce a child, just for the government's medical agents to allow the baby's blood taken by hasty clamping, all done in secret, and where the placenta goes for discarding, a drug company or for burning?  Where is the placenta's first stop, if not the hospitals internal lab for draining of blood or packaging to go elsewhere?  All done without knowledge of consent of the legal guardians, the parents.  

        • Infant imposed on to donate his placenta blood to his sister, which an infant has no duty to give his placenta blood to anyone but his own needs.  What kind of society do we have when the informed, the strong, the upper class pick on the vulnerable, least able to defend itself, and the society sleeping, none-the-wiser.Nash, Adam, child treated as a second class citizen by taking his stem cells in his placenta, clamped off early, to give to his sister, Globe and Mail, Thursday, October 12, 2000, Pg. A17.

      1. The new born baby and the pregnant mother are not being protected.  The mother is uneducated on the fetus/ infant circulation system and her need to know the facts that there is NO need, in most instances, to ever clamp or cut the baby's lifeline, so the baby gets the blood from the placenta to his/her lungs --and not a test tube.

        • NOTE:  She stated that in an unassisted birth, the baby thrives, as a point to leave the cord alone.  She witnessed drugged babies' umbilical cords pulsated for 20 minutes, so no baby should be routinely clamped at 30-seconds, or until the cord ceases to pulsate, known, she informed, since 1801, reference to E. Darwin, Zoonomia, Vol III, p 302, 1801.

LIBRARY, MEDICAL BOOKS, BIOLOGY SCIENCE NEWS ARTICLES :

      1. Good Housekeeping's, Guide For Young Homemakers, Harper & Row, 1966, Childbirth, Emergency, p 46, This is the only Emergency Correct Information and it is found in a homemakers book:  

      •         "When the baby's body is free from the mother it is still attached by the umbilical cord.  The cord does NOT have to be cut immediately., p 47:  After the Birth,  When the placenta is expelled, it still is attached by the cord to the baby.  Wrap the afterbirth in a blanket so the placenta will not drop and pull on the cord.  
      •         Some bleeding occurs during childbirth and when the placenta is expelled.  Place a sanitary pad or clean cloth between the mother's legs and have her keep her legs together to exert pressure.  If bleeding increases, gently massage her abdomen.  Stop when the womb feels firm. Keep the baby warm but don't overdo it. Use covered hot water bottles if necessary and available.  Do not worry about . .. bathing the baby.  
      •         If it should be necessary to cut the cord AFTER THE PLACENTA IS EXPELLED, firmly tie a cord or clean cloth strip about four inches from the baby's navel and cut on the placental side with a knife or scissors sterilized by boiling or in a flame."            
        • COMMENTS:  This Good Housekeeping Book's information is far more accurate then any of the existing Biology books, or "expert" medical books, that are presently directing all human babies are to have immediate cord clamping and cutting after the child's birth, and make reference "most" doctors are doing this.
        • NO books inform the mother that clamping and cutting the cord are cosmetic and are not necessary procedures unless (1) cord broke or in a c-section for placenta previa.
