(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.

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

The "World Health Organization (WHO) states that early or relatively early clamping of the umbilical cord is mandatory after the administration of Oxytocin. With Umbicut ... Information from:  MP1-577 Tyvek Rx 10.3.qxd

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

   • 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.

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.  

• Warning to the public that infants early cord clamped are deprived of 20 to 50 percent total blood volume, and may take from 6 weeks to 6 months before that deprived blood and nutrients, likely iron, are not as noticeable, reference to that fact is Policy #71, December 1998, SOGC.

  • 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.

1. The American Medical Association Family Medical Guide, Revised and Updated, 1987 ISBN 0-394-55582-1, page 649, have it wrong.  They state:
   •  "The second stage of labor ends when the baby emerges complete from the birth canal.  The second stage can last up to an hour for a first baby, and up to 30 minutes for a subsequent baby.  
   • After the baby is delivered, the umbilical cord that connects the baby to the placenta while it is inside the uterus is clamped shut and then cut .  
   • The third stage of labor is delivery of the placenta (the afterbirth). Your uterus continues to contract to expel it. During this stage there is some bleeding, and the umbilical cord moves a little further out of the vagina.
   • To speed up this process and to try to prevent excess bleeding, the physician pulls gently on the cord while pressing on your abdomen with the other hand .  
     • Note from Donna:  This is pressing on a full placenta and can cause the placenta to , mixing the blood of the infant with the mother's.  Consequences can be illness to the mother and future problems of miscarriages and not having any more children.  Most doctors know this risk.
   • The third stage of labor usually lasts about 15 minutes.  On page 650, there is a diagram of the mother placed flat on her back, the doctor in control ; page 651, demonstrates a needle being inserted into the mother's spine, in between the vertebrae.  
     • There is no mentioning of risk involved in this, and no mentioning of water births, or gravity positions being the mother's choice.  Epidural anesthesia.  On page 653, there is a diagram of Amniocentesis, inserting a needle into the fetus amniotic fluid.  
     • There is no mention that this procedure is often followed by abortion of the child, by infections.  Page 653, shows the Third Stage of Labor, a hand pressing down on the mothers stomach, and pulling the cord with the other hand , no mentioning breaking up the placenta, and causing clots.
   •  On page 655, a picture of forceps are alleging "lifting" out the baby , when they may well be "pulling" the baby out.  No mention of bruising the child's skull, or strokes, caused the child.  
   • Page 815, it demonstrates an Emergency Birth, showing the woman placed on her back.  
     • This is not too bad, stating support the baby head, and not to pull.  
   • To hold the baby with its head lower then its feet, this is after the completion of the birth.  To gently wipe the mucus from both nose and mouth; and they correctly direct to wait until the cord stops pulsating before cutting it, then describe how to tie the cord, and cut between it.  
     • They correctly state within 20-minutes after the baby the placenta will usually emerge. And correctly state do NOT pull on the cord; it may tear off.  
   • There is no information that clamping and cutting the cord and keeping the baby warm and the placenta in another towel are the legal options of choice of the mother.  This was done by the Canadian and American Pioneers, before 1923, now called the Lotus Birth.
     •     Comments:  Most of the Medical Directives are outside of informed consent, and fail to advise no clamping or cutting of the cord are medical necessities, the whole process is time efficiency, and sexism, that the professional, and this can be man or women, just are not prepared for natural time for natural birth.  
     • Much of the unnecessary approach to active management which always tries to put a benefit to their deeds, is not informed choice for safer options for the mother and child.  
     • The AMAFMG failed to provide the risks of what the medical person(s) intended to impose on the mother, that the womb can be inverted, by pulling on the cord.  The consequences are infection to the uterus removal.  
   • The authors fail to also advise the amount of blood trapped in the placenta can cause the placenta rupturing and mixing the infants placenta blood with the mothers causing endangering to the mother.
   • They fail to direct to measure out the blood trapped in the placenta, and how much was actually deprived the child, the condition of the child after early cord clamping.  
   • The child may now suffer from insufficiency of nutrients including enzymes and hormone deficiencies and anemia by lack of iron.    

1. Sunday Regional, February 25, 2001:  News Release, concern was they were failing to correctly advise the public, of dangers of hasty clamping, misleads,  Story:  "Umbilical cords may provide cells for repair,  Original release from San Francisco (AP) report from Dr. Paul R. Sanberg of the University of South Florida.

   • Book is used to train 9-1-1 Ambulance Attendants and medics, counsellors.   Directed early cord clamping and to position the mother their back.  
   • This book was used by the BC Justice Institute who directed their medical instructors NOT to inform their students of the rights of the mother to know choices and options, they intended to impose treatment without consent, like most.  
   • This indicates the pregnant woman is NOT educated of her legal rights to have informed choice, to know risks and the safest and best practice, and least endangering.
   •  It is in my opinion sexists as to positioning of the mother's birth, and failure to have her make choices and to know, no touching of the baby's lifeline is necessary, except to assist from around the neck, if obstruction of the neck is apparent, loose cords need nothing done to them, and it fails to mention two fingers between the cord and neck are safer then cutting the cord.

LITERATURE OVERVIEW OF CORD CLAMPING IN PRETERM INFANTS :  

1. Level I:  Randomized controlled Trials :  Authors: Year Study Population Cord Management Infant Placement Sample Size Significant Results Comments:  Rabe, Wacker, Hulskam, Franz, Everding, 2000 (25) Singleton 33 wks, EC (early clamping) 20 sec LC (late clamping) 45 second and lowered 20 cm + Oxytocic 20   
• Comment of Donna Young, true delayed clamping was waiting for the placenta to be expelled, and clamping on a functional pulsating cord is interruption of the infant's circulation system.  What they professional are doing is trying to spare blood trapped in the placenta for research, without too seriously injurying the child, yet, early clamping still results in revival.  Any revived child is an impaired and compromised child denied his/her right to expectation of genius abilities, reduced to average or below average abilities, and a struggle set before them making learning harder and life's struggles when life is already difficult for most.
  • All mothers got oxytocic immediately after delivery. Results:  EC group required more volume expansion in first 24 hours .  LC resulted in sig. findings of most variables even with this small sample.
  •   LC can help prevent low BP and low microcirculation .  Trend towards higher hematocrits in LC infants but did not reach statistical significants.  NO difference in bilirubin levels.  
  • Study is being replicated and results should be available in mid 2001.

1. Births in time of Disasters when no modern medicine is available.  These are primal births, and there is not good reason Primal births cannot be allowed in all hospitals.  However, they do not make money for political reasons of existing trends and policies, of today, and for the last three and four generations of women imposed on to have institutionalized births.  There was no profit to the governments, at any level if there was not fee for natural baby births, and no harm done, internally to women and their babies, as their is the risk in actively managed births.

                        Link to simple child birth, any women can and ought to have, anywhere:    http.//www.oism.org/nwss/s73p924.htm

             "Simple childbirth: Keep hands off. Wait until the mother has given birth. Do not tie and cut the cord unless a potent disinfectant is             available. Instead, use the primitive practice of wrapping the cord and the placenta around the infant until they dry. Avoid the risk of                 infecting the mother by removing the rest of the afterbirth: urge the mother to work to expel it."

            This means, as much as it depends on us, in our assisting any mother to birth her baby, KISS is best , "Keep It Simply Simple."

• Comments of Donna Young:  Parents and the children must be given the facts on paper of the early clamping, and condition of cord, and drugs the mother was given during labor, and reason of early clamping, and amount of blood then drained from the placenta to check the health and means to learn and behavior disorders by drugging the mother, birth position, and early clamped children to see which is best on long term assessments, up to 27 years of age of the child, for possible criminal and/or civil litigations for interference with natural birth.

   •   Chlorbutol  / Chlorobutanol , preservatives in oxytocins, page 1123.  Adverse Effects and Precautions:  "Acute poisoning with chlorbutol may produce "central nervous system depression with weakness, loss of consciousness, and depressed respiration.  
   • Delayed (type IV) hypersensitivity reactions have been reported, rarely.  
   • The activity of chlorbutol can be diminished by a number of mechanisms; further details are given below:  
   • The activity of chlorbutol can be adversely affected by the presence of "other compounds" as well as by the packaging material.  There may be sorption onto substances like magnesium trisilcate, bentonite, carmellose, polyethylene,(2,3) or polyhdroxy-ethylethacryalate that has been used in soft contract lenses. Increasing heat  (2,3) or pH (5,6) can reduce stability and activity.

• Effects on Mental Function:  The sedative effects of chlorobutanol have been reported to be a problem in a patient dependent on large doses (0.9 to 1.5 g daily with salicylamide 1.8 to 3.0 g daily)(1) and in another patient given high doses of morphine in an infusion preserved with chlorbutol.(2)

• (2)  DeChristoforo R, et al. High-dose morphine infusion complicated by chlorobutanol-induced somnolence.   Ann Intern Med 1983; 98:335--6.  
  • Comments of Donna:  Russians who died in the hostage taking were gassed with morphine Oct 2002.  Those not getting an antidote, soon enough, died.  We give expecting mothers morphines.  This drug, commonly Demerol is known to slow labor down.  This may accommodate a busy hospital, staff and doctor busy elsewhere.  Then when all are ready, for another's child birth, they then quicken labor by giving another drug. This is all called, and set to policy of Active Management.  The preservatives in these drugs are questionable as to how they react to one another and the sensitivities of those they are given to.  Such additives are, acetic acid (vinegar) for pH balances ????.  How does vinegar react with any drug to try and neutralize it. Does the neutralizing for pH really work?  Because immediate cord clamping for pH tests were recommended by Policy #216, November 1995, ACOG, and again by Policy #89, May 2000 by SOGC, it seems they are unsure if neutralization for pH balances worked after drugging mothers during labor.  And why not urine samples taken then oxygenated blood, poisoned or otherwise, there is volume and pressure for the infant's lungs and heart needs.  ???!

• Hypersensitivity:  A delayed cellular type of hypersensitivity reaction to chlorbutol used to preserve heparin (rat poison) injection following subcutaneous(under the skin) injection has been reported. (1)  Pruritus from intranasal desmopressin has been reported as due to the chlorbutol preservative.(2)

  • (2)  Itabashi A. et al.  Hypersensitivity to chlorobutanol in DDAVP solution.  Lancet 1982; i : 108.

• Uses and Administration:  Chlorobutanol has antibacterial and antifungal properties and it is used as a concentration of 0.5% as a preservative in injections and in eye drops as well as cosmetics.  Chlorbutol has been used as a mild sedative and local analgestic (absense of pain) but other compounds  are preferred.   It has also been used as a dusting powder, in nose and ear drops, and as a dental preparation for dry socket.  
  • Comment from Donna:  Women should be advised to get their teeth fixed before they plan a baby.
  • NO warning is given it is used as a preservative with oxytocins. (see, CPS information).
• Martindale:  Oxytocin, page 1290.  Known Adverse Effects.  
• Administration of oxytocin in high doses or to those hypersensitive to it may cause violent uterine contractions leading to uterine rupture and extensive laceration of the soft tissues, foetal bradycardia, foetal arrhythmias, and foetal asphyxiation, and perhaps foetal or maternal death.  

• JAUNDICE:  Analysis of neonatal jaundice in 12 461 single births confirmed a higher incidence in  offspring of mothers given oxytocin, independent of gestational ate at birth, sex, race, epidural analgesia, method of delivery, and birth weight, each of which was also associated with jaudice (1)  In a total of 90 infants born to mothers after oxytocin-induced labor in 2 studies, (2,3) haematological disturbances were noted.  These included erythrocyte fragility or reduction in erythorocyte deformability, hyponatraemia, hypo-osmolality, and an increase in serum-bilirubin concentration.  Glucose injection, used as a vehicle for oxytocin may have further aggravated these changes.

  • NOTE by Donna:  I have read current studies that have accused delayed clamping as causing jaundiced.  What I noted from the biased reports is they left out if the mother was drugged and which drug, and strength used, and if the mother was sick, like having a maternity diabetic condition.  
  • The reports by leaving out information were not professional and were, in most cases directing one drug's use over another's, a fact of bias pointed out back in 1957, of Dr. Mavis Gunther*, rather than no drug used and condition of baby after full delayed clamping or immediate clamping and which baby was healthier and stronger.  
  •         *Gunther, unassisted births, the baby thrives link:  http://www.123-baby-birth.com/doc/Nov123%20baby%20birth-341.htm
  • Immediate cord clamped baby or no clamped baby or otherwise, natural birth, the placenta expelled, and all pulsation ceased before clamping.  For drugged babies and undrugged babies, and tests of placenta cells and urine for facts of drugs used, and jaundiced conditions are often left out in ethical human experiments.
  •  By stating an unknown hypersensitivity to this drug, the medical persons giving the drug risk-taking all to the decision of the mother.  They are directly or indirectly covering themselves from future liability to a sick child, and a sick mother.  They are implying by stating unknown allergic reactions to mean they have no implied accountability.  Well, no drugs protect them best.  And natural warm water births as the mothers choice, and no rushing of the child's birth, now called "Active Management."  All choices are not given to mothers for hospital births or births attended by medical persons, even in the home births. Over 65 percent of Holland births, are in the home and are undrugged.  But drugs are creeping in the care of pregnant mothers, everywhere.  
  • NO accountability is on the drug companies, the Health Information services of the Nation, the Medical Teams for failing to inform the mothers these oxytocin drugs ARE abortion drugs.  They intend to cause harsh contractions for an unwanted baby, and work the same way for a wanted baby.  
  • The fact of careful monitoring of these drugs, and they are generally only given by medical persons, in a hospital birth, mean they are dangerous, and must have immediate back up, such as a c-section. These drugs preceded c-sections and the fact of how many c-sections follow drugs, is NOT known by review of the increased c-sections from before 2nd World War of c-sections at 2 to 5 percent, as emergency births, to now a disgrace of 25 percent.  

• Oxytocin in Nasal Spray for those with existing asthmas.  Comments of Donna:  How many early deliveries, or premature births are caused by nose sprays.  
• Page 1291.  Oxytocin nasal spray is used to facilitate lactation; the usual dose is one spray into one or both nostrils 2 to 3 minutes before suckling.  However, there is a danger that the mother may become dependent upon its action (comment of Donna:  This implies interruption of natural hormones and enzymes action).  They continue nasal sprays usage is NOT generally recommended.  They advise see page 1273.  
• Oxytocin has also been given as the citrate, in the form of a buccal tablet to induce labor; however, absorption is irregular following buccal administration and this route has been superseded by intravenous infusion.
• An oxytocin challenge test has been used to evaluate foetal distress in pregnant patients at high-risk; oxytocin is infused intravenously at an initial rate of 0.5 milliunit per minute, gradually increased to a maximum of 20 milliunits per minute until a contraction rate of 3 per 10 minutes is achieved.  The infusion is discontinued and the occurrence of late or variable decelerations of foetal heart rate monitored.  NO change in heart rate is considered to be indicative of foetal well-being although false-negative tests have been reported.  
  • Comments of Donna:  Often the stripping of the membranes are alleged done and electrodes placed on the baby's head, thus,sticking the baby's head for monitoring to check drug overdose-reactions, are used to monitor the baby.  This increases the risk of infections to both mother and child.  
• Synthetic derivatives of oxytocin such as demoxy-tocin (see page 1278 have been used similarly).  
  • Demoxytocin is a synthetic derivative of oxytocin (see p. 1290) and has similar properties.  Its oxytocic action is reported to be more powerful than that of oxytocin and more prolonged.  
  • It is given as buccal tablets, for the induction of labor, in doses of 50 units every half-hour until a normal contraction rhythm is established, up to a maximum of 500 units.  
    • Question by Donna:  Who determines what is "normal contraction as all women are different?  The size of the mother may be a factor too and the size of the baby.)
  • For the augmentation of labor, 25 units or 50 units if necessary every half-hour has been recommended.
    • Question by Donna:  Who, where, when, why did the studies per size of mother and size of expected baby?  
  • P. 1278, Demoxytocin. . . Twenty-five or 50 units may be given 5 to 10 minutes before nursing to stimulate milk ejection. For a discussion of labour induction and augmentation, see p. 1449; for a discussion of lactation induction, which expresses the view that oxytocins should NOT be used for this purpose, see p. 1273.
  • Hyperprolactinaemia, page 1272. . . is a condition of elevated circulating prolactin concentration. It occurs for physiological reasons in pregnancy or following mechanical stimulation of the nipple, as in suckling.  
  • However, hyperprolactinaemia may also be induced pharmacologically as an adverse effect of drugs such as oestrogens, inhibitors of dopaminergic function such as neuroleptics, or drugs such as histamine H2 antagonists, opinoid analgesics, or methyldopa which interfere with dopamine secretion.
  •  Furthermore, pathological hyperprolactinaemia may be associated with prolactin-secreting pituitary adenomas (prolactin-omas), damage to the pituitary stalk or hypthalamus (including that caused by non-secreting tumours), or trauma to the chest wall; it may also be associated with disorders such as Cushing's syndrome or hypothyroidism.  

• Prolactinomas are amongst the commonest pathological causes, and so-called idiopathic hyperprolactinaemia, in which no apparent cause is found, may in fact represent undetected microadenoma.  (tumors in glands).

• The consequences of hyperprolactinaemia include suppression of ovarian function in women , leading to erratic cycles or amenorrhoea,and infertility  (see also p. 1270 and p. 1273); in men, in whom the condition is less common, reduced gonadotrophin production leads to testosterone deficiency, diminished libido (sexual drive), and impotence.  
• Both sexes may develop unwanted milk flow (galactorrhoea), although this depends on the concomitant presence of oestrogens; men may rarely develop gynaecomastia due to the change in oestrogen/androgen balance (see p. 1471 for brief discussion of gynaecomastia and its management.
  • Comments by Donna:   Wow.  No wonder some women can't get pregnant .....or carry their babies full term after accepting drugs during labor . What are the long-tell signs, not followed up on the babies exposed to these drugs while yet in the womb?  These have a right to reproduction too, for blue-ribbon babies.  
  • What are we doing to our future, our heritage is in the babies.  Who is protecting babies?  
  • Certainly, not the politicians imposing on the mother by implied directives, they must birth in the controlled hospitals, that use "active management" and by policies doctors and nurses are then  interrupting the child's natural birth process.  That is safer then home unassisted births?  I think not.
  •  Mothers must be better educated and the doctors and the nurses, too.  But who reads the drug books and there many cross referenced pages and a medical dictionary to get full and clear comprehension of the messages given?  ? ? ? !
• The use of oxytocin, as noted above is given until the child shows distress.  Some children just may be dying of suffocation and allergic reactions, and are then born stillborn.  NO questions asked.  The mother was simply alleged to have a incompetent cervix, an inherited problem, bad genes.  Yeah right, they were rushing the child's birth before the baby was due to come.  Seems we have an unsafe world. The womb is snug and warm and is supposed to be a safe place of protection.  I think not during second and third stages of labor in drug inducement for the baby to come out.  Poor babies.  What are we doing to them?  

UMBILICAL CORD CLAMPING AND CUTTING AND THE USE OF THIOMERSAL:

• Martindale, 31st Edition, 1996, page 1147, in my argument that mothers NOT clamp or cut the infants umbilical cord, ever,  is this one argument that those babies clamped in the hospital have had mercurial antiseptics applied to the cut and clamped cord. To Quote, Martindale:  "Following the death of 10 to 13 children as a result of treatment of omphaloceles (umbilical hernia) with a tincture of thiomersal, it was recommended that organic mercurial disinfectants be heavily restricted or withdrawn from hospital use as absorption occurred readily through intact membranes. (3)

THE MERCK MANUAL, 15th Edition, 1987, 4th Printing, June 1999, ISBN No. 9976-6526.  Pediatrics and Genetics:  Initial Care, page 1804:  "At birth, the normal newborn breathes spontaneously once his airway is cleared of mucus and debris by gentle bulb suctions.  The cord is clamped and cut after the first breath . .  (*could be his/her last, too.)
•         The First Few Days, page 1808.  Umbilical Cord:  the plastic cord clamp should be removed in 24 hours to avoid undue tension on the drying stump.  Daily application of 70% alcohol to the stump hastens drying and reduces infection.  The cord should be observed daily for redness or drainage, since it is an excellent portal of entry of infection.
•  It is the first area to colonize with bacteria and usually is the site cultured in infection control programs (see also Initial Care, above).  Circumcision, if indicated, generally is performed within the first few days of life but should be delayed indefinitely if there is any displacement of the urethral meatus, hypospadias, or any other abnormality of the glans or penis, since the prepuce may be used later in plastic repair.  
• Circumcision is usually is requested by the parents and is rarely indicated medically.  It should not be done if a family history of hemophilia or other bleeding disorders exists or if the mother is taking medication associated with coagulation disturbances, such as anticoagulants or aspirin.                                                                                  
• Defecating (stooling):  Meconium is a sticky green-black substance that consists of lanugo and squamous epithelial cells from swallowed amniotic fluid and intestinal secretions.  Every infant should pass meconium by age 24 hours.  The infant who is meconium-stained at birth may delay defecating, but in this case it is evident that the anus is patent.  Delayed defecation is most commonly the result of a plug of inspissated meconium (See Gastrointestinal defects in Ch.187).                   
• Jaundice may occur in normal newborns but is NOT physiologic if it appears before 24 hours of age, and may not be physiologic if the serum bilirubin is > 10 mg/dL.  (See under Hyperbilirubinema in Metabolic Problems in Ch. 186.)
  • Comments by Donna:  NO rights of the mother are sought in this Manual of the mother told no clamping or cutting of the umbilical cord is NOT necessary for the mother's choice of avoiding risk of hernias, and cord infection, often a possibility when taking off the cord is done in a hospital, with many airborne disease about, and even when clamps are cleaned (if reused) some germs may not be killed, or they are brought in somehow in the delivery room.  Avoiding of deprivation of 4 ounces to 6 ounces of placenta blood is best done if no clamping or cutting of the cord is permitted by the mother, and her choice of time, after the placenta is expelled if she will or will not do cosmetic removal of the placenta from the child.  
  • That is the mother's decision to follow and complete as normal a natural birth as possible.  Even if the baby needs revival or an immediate operation this can be done while the infant remains with his/her placenta and cord still attached.  
  • See Magical Baby at www.123-baby-birth.com   The baby was operated while it remained on his placenta cord.  So the babies can be taken out with the placenta and cord still attached, v-birth or c-birth.  This is a right for the mother to know about.  But that information is failed to be told to her.  Why?

Compendium of Pharmaceuticals and Specialities (CPS), 1994 Twenty-Ninth Edition, printed in Canada , CK Productions Toronto, ISBN 0-919115-83-7 NOTES:  p 974 Oxytocin Injection, USP, Abbott, Oxytocic, each  mL of sterile non-pyrogenic solution prepared by synthesis contains: oxytocin activity 10 IU (10 USP posterior Pituitary Units), sodium acetate 2 mg, sodium chloride 5.1 mg and chlorobutanol 5 mg (as preservative) in water for injection.  pH adjusted with acetic acid (vinegar) to approximately 3.9 .  Single-dose ampuls of 0.5, 1 and 5 mL. Sleeves of 25  or 50 .  Use only if solution is clear. Discard unused portion.  (They do NOT Cross-Reference, but on page 1326 there is the warning about Toesen, Ferring, Oxytocin, Oxytocic.  
   • Oxytocin raises the degree of uterine contractions, before labor and after labor to cause contractions of the uterine musculature.  
   • Contraindications of Oxytocin:  Cephalopelvic disproportions, severe toxemia, malpresentation or malposition of the fetus, prematurity or unripe cervic; predisposition to uterine rupture as a multiparity (4 or more hard, long labor meaning the child is deprived of oxygen during those hard long labor contractions, unnatural in natural childbirth).  
   • Over distention of the uterus, previous cesarean section (can cause rupture to a woman wanting a normal VBAC, vaginal birth after c-section); hypertonic labor patterns (long, hard painful uncontrollable labor that the mother begs for a c-section, the baby is being oxygen deprived too to suffer brain and cell and nerve damage).  
   • Prolonged use in uterine inertia; abruption placentae (placenta  from the contractions on it, it is an abortion drug). Serious medical or obstetric conditions and any conditions in which fetal distress already occurs. Hypersensitivity to oxytocin.  
   • This simply means if proper administration was given, no fault to the medical person because the fetus and the mother had unforeseen hypersensitivity to the drug she freely agreed to accept at her consent form "appropriate care".
   •  However , signing a form simply means a form was signed not informed consent was given for the woman and the child to be risked long-life of suffering; woman's body risk to infection, blood of fetus and mother mixing.   
   • Why risk any drug, cervidil / Gemeprost p. 1458-3 cervical dilation, Martindale, or abortion drug by any other name. ???  Informed choice means no drugs , natural birth, correct position any thing other then semi-sitting or flat on your back ; and taking the baby home a sealed unit. . . the baby never out of his mother's presence or a birth witness that no needle is injected into the placenta to risk blood poison to the child, or taking 4 to 6 ounces from the placenta, that ought to be in the child.  
   • This is the child's legal and common humanity rights to have all blood in its body. The doctor and the nurse, or the lab cannot take samples from the child's body, and just a drop of blood is needed for blood typing and checking iron content of the blood.   Strong harsh labor, a child endangered in dying causes the child to produce more red stem cells to try to get oxygen to his/her brain.   The child is then deprived of the blood stem cells, they are taken by early clamping for experimental use for stem cell transplants.  
   • The blood, as alleged "discarded meaning what, burning or put into blood banks?"  The blood can be taken without consent of the legal guardian of the child (parent(s) is extracted for the various components of blood, white cells, platelets, plasma, enzymes, hormones, and sold back to the medical professionals to treat the sick, that they created at birth, by faulty medical practices. All DNA of origins of both sides of the family are violated, they do not know how such information in the hands of drug companies may be used, for their benefit or for their directed caused disease.  Science can be used for good or for evil.
   •  Doctors, nurses, surgeons are inadequately trained.   they are the Stooges, follow orders of leaders, blindly.
   • The personal comments of the above are from Granny Donna, trying to warn the inexperienced mothers doing as I did, and my mother did, and my daughter did, trusting the medical doctors blindly.  The Mother's rights are to say NO.  
   • Any imposed drug without adequate warning or threat to the mother for her right to refuse treatment to her or the child, can be met with criminal assault (threat to endangering) and battery if the treatment was imposed without choice of safer alternatives.  
   • What choices has the birthing-mother?  First, pregnancy is not a sickness.  It needs no medical attention, in most instances.  The mother can birth unassisted in a hospital, with a doorstop behind the door, and her chosen birth aid, of her choice, paid or unpaid.   And, with the consent of the mother, the birth-aid will let in expert help if, when, and as is necessary, as as directed by the mother.
   • Natural birth is that, mother is in control, and does catch her own baby, by the position of her choice that allows that to happen.  
   • The mother does not have to allow "anyone"  to pull on her baby, with tools (forceps) or hands, ever.  This is threatening the infant's child's head, neck and spine to have injuries.  
   • The mother needs no one to cut her body to enlarge the birth exit, ever.  The does not need to consent to that risk of harming her body, or the child's.  So says UK case-law, universal to motherhood.
   • That risk is nicking her baby and herself, causing airborne disease to begin in both mother and child, requiring drugs to correct viruses, such as the superbugs alleged in the Vancouver Children's Hospital.  
   • This hospital, as of October 2002, were fearing this superbug would get into neonates blood stream.  That can only happen by a clamped and cut umbilical cord.  If there is no clamping, no cutting, no super bug.  It may be as simple as that.  We then go back to natural births being the mother's choice.  And superbug is a good reason to do that, and inform the mothers no clamping, or cutting of the cord, ever, is their right. Benefits are all to the baby.
   • The mother has a legal right to take her own kiddy-water birth-pool and birth side-ways in it.  She can birth her baby in water, the Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada said so, in Policy #71, December 1998.  That policy I do agree with.  
   • The mother can catch her own baby, and to allow full completion of the child's birth, the placenta, the baby's organ expelling and without drugs injected into her body, however, long she wants to wait for the natural birth of the placenta, while her baby remains on the cord, pulsating or not.  She does not need to detached the child for cosmetic reasons.  This is going back to the rights of the pioneers, prior to 1923.  After 1923, in the States and in Canada, midwives were stopped and this safe practice.  Drugs encouraged the cosmetic detaching of placenta and cords.  Quick clamping may have been a method hospitals permitted to get cheap 4 ounces to 6 ounces of blood for student practice in labs and for transfusions, banking in blood pools, A - B O.  Who knows?  There are many secrets in hospitals between the doctors, nurse and the Administration boards.  NOT everything is discussed with the public, but it should be.  
   • Generally, adequately trained doctors did not clamp the cord until all pulsation stopped, after the placenta was born.  That factually and witnessed can be 20-minutes for a pulsating cord.  Instant and 30-second clamping need Justification on a normal birth or normal c-section birth.  
   • This justification of 30 second and instant clamping or before all pulsation ceased, requires justification before a Judge and Jury for Constitution violation.  This is even if the child lives.  The child was deprived of security of person and equal protection by those involved in his or her birth.  
   • This justification of instant clamping, and where done, and the child dies, needs justification before a Coroner's Inquest, for all babies who unexpectedly died while in the care of institutional care and government licensed persons, or unlicensed person.  A child's death must be respected for investigation.
   • This information ought to be shared to lawyers and doctors and the College of Physicians and Surgeons. The CPS knew doctors at one time were trained not to interrupt the pulsating cord by clamping.  Why did they permit trends of change?  
   • ONLY TWO physical reasons for clamping a cord instantly are approved.  Cord Torn.  Or, surgeon used a horizontal cut on a placenta previa, instead of vertical, top down.   
   • There is a third reason that needs scientific verification.  The World Health Organizations, in 1998,  without referencing their statement, directs immediate cord clamping on any infant whose mother takes an oxytocic drug.
   •  I am assuming Cervidil / Gemeprost p. 1458-3 is such a drug, related to oxytocins.  Martindale is such    P. 1458,  31st Edition, states that the effects of gemeprost on the foetus are not known.  

• Gemeprost:  Warning (Cervidil)  this is given to " terminate pregnancy " it is essential that termination take place if the prostalgandin is unsuccessful other measures should be used.  Gemeprost should be used with caution in patients with obstructive airways disease, cardiovascular disease, raised intra-ocular pressure, cervicitis, or vaginitis.  

• Gemeprost:  Adverse Effects, p 1458, Martindale: " Gemeprost is given vaginally as pessaries and systemic adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea re relatively mild.  Other report3d side-effects have included headache, muscle weakness, dizziness, flushing, chills, backache, dyspnoea, chest pain, palpitations, and mild pyrexia. Vaginal bleeding and mild uterine pain may occur.  Uterine rupture has been reported rarely, most commonly in multiparous women and in those with a history of uterine surgery. reference:  Cameron IT, Baird DT.  The use of 16, 16-dimethyl-trans? prostaglandin E1, methyle ester (gemeprost) vaginal pessaries for the termination of pregnancy in the early second trimester a comparison with extra-amniotic prostaglandin E2, Br J Obstet Gynaecol 1984: 91: 1136-40.
• Jaundice:  Any fears of jaundice are scientifically known to be caused by giving the mother drugs during labor, or to her own sickness or a diabetic condition.  Nevertheless, NO clamping of the cord still stands. This is because such conditions of jaundice can be corrected "after" proper verification of what is causing the disorder, mostly caused by too many killed cells by lack of oxygen and poison in the infant's blood stream.
• It is not considered healthy for a jaundice condition to be corrected by blood letting.  We do not correct jaundice in adults by blood letting, but other correction.  This is true for the fetus / neonate,too.   It is not in the best of the interest of the child to create an anemic condition (blood deprivation) to correct jaundice.  
• There is a need for justification for depriving the child of  20 to 50 percent total blood volume, which is about 4 ounces to 6 ounces or more per child.  This must be before a public court.  Before a Court of Inquiry, a Coroner's Inquiry, held by a Judge, if the child dies, shortly after birth, or within two years of birth, in some cases longer if the child remained sickly, starting that way from drugs during birth, followed by early clamping.
• That is a criminal assault on the child.  This is battery, and in some cases, it was attempted murder.  
• The Criminal Code directs any person involved to be charged, the Rule of Law does not exempt doctors or any persons aiding and abetting harmful and endangering practices on any about to be born child, that proper care would have assured quality of life, life itself.
• Deceased infants cry out from their grave for being killed by drugs and immediate clamping.  They must have investigation, now stopped by the Coroner's in each area of the Provinces, Territory, State, in every Nation. That implies the governments directed women be discriminated against in child birth, to have a child, for the State to rob the infant of between 4 ounces to 6 ounces of blood by its licensed medical agents and approved by their Professional Acts, and those are to uphold protecting the public, including babies.  
• FACTS of failure of duty of politicians at all levels of government, and Hospital Boards:  
• NOT one debate of exploiting babies has been held in Federal or Provincial or Territory legislatures; or ethics committees at each hospital, regarding hasty clamping as a new trend.  I wonder how come.  
• HOW long have hospitals been taking the blood from placentas of a hastily clamped child?  I suspect ever since 1914, when there was the discovery of blood types, A, B, O.  Vein to vein transfusion took place as experiments on the war fields, the soldiers used as guinea pigs.  Drying of the plasma of the blood kept blood longer; drugs keep the blood for weeks; and dry freezing the blood, whole or in components, keeps the blood, allegedly,  infinitely.

• Medical Criteria for Giving Blood : The person is full grown, 17 years of age, in good health, over 110 pounds, and mentally competent to give informed consent:
• The baby is not full grown, is not 110 pounds, is not 17 years of age, to be able to meet the criteria of informed consent.  The duty of every level of government and to the parent is to protect the baby from endangering and by age, by race, by color, by sex, of no harm done, no endangering.  

• Just because a doctor and nurse revive a baby, after causing the distress by drugs and hasty clamping, does not mean the child is not internally impaired, or that they are not before a Civil or Criminal Court for the battery.
• What they have walked away from, failing to keep records of the condition of the cord and time it was clamped, is that there are likely internal iatrogenic disorders, disease, distress to a child that survived this assault/battery.
• Any one cell damaged means that one cell could have directed 10,000 other cells.  Many disorders start with oxygen and fluid deprivation to any one cell.  
• Legal duty by Declarations around the World, Protection to the Child by those with means to do so, all levels of government, all adults have a duty to protect the child from endangering.   NOT one hair on the fetus neonates infant to adulthood shall be caused to it at the beginnings of its life.  Perhaps that ought to be conception to birth and after birth?
• At the hospital, the treatment during birth and after birth is called, "Active Management."  This involves questionable drugs, with questionable preservatives, and trace elements.  
• Drugs and hasty clamping have become an unscientific tradition, with not all the facts of endangering told the mother, for her being able to make informed decisions necessary to protect her baby to be all that it can be, a blue-ribbon baby, as nature intended.  
• Failure to disclose harm, or failure to provide the mother of her rights to no drugs, and no cutting of the cord; no drugs, are a violation of  the mother's informed choice to refuse treatment for safer alternatives.  Such as to birth side ways in warm water, this to reduce labor discomforts.
• To be explained natural birth has the mother's hormones working with the baby's and artificial induction of hormones may disrupt nature and bring a premature birth.  This means even a 8 pound baby can be caused a premature birth.
• Healthy babies can be 10 pounds or more, and are born by the vaginal birth, the mother's body adjusts, the baby head and soft bones, mold to the birth canal.  Mother's choice, of course, with information correctly supplied, and NOTHING left out as to side-effects of drugs, to mother and child.  A risk to mother, is likely a risk to fetus/neonate, with long-lasting hidden internal problems even to sexual reproduction, or proper maturity of the reproduction organs..
• Natural births are what the pioneers have had in the past, in unassisted child birth.  Emergency c-sections were then 1 to 5 percent of all births.  It is questionable today they are 25 percent in almost every community, including rural.
• I say, as a grandmother, who has been there, had that, done that, tears for an improper birth and what I call asault and battery, no informed consent for any person to invasively touch my baby or my child's was ever given; and another hospital, a different doctor, adequately trained, what joy for almost a totally natural birth. Just the high operating table was wrong.   I say, while I did not know about it, many University persons, even female doctors, did not know about, and what they did not know was our right to:  Go Lotus.
•  Hope I have helped some young experienced mothers to say one word, loud and clear, and their legal right to say it, "NO!."  
• The mother must take control and say to her doctor, here is my birth plan.  I have studied my options.  I'm doing it my way, no cutting of my body, no drugs, no flat on the back, no semi-sitting beds, I want to be in control.  I am woman, I can do it.  Trust yourself.  
• The mother can trust herself to her own natural intuition on the position of birth.  Use anything to comfort you and encourage you through the labor stages.....labor pains are stronger then usual menstrual cramps, that is the way the baby announces, Mommy, I'm coming.  They are within her means to bear, if she is is not meddled with in most instances and has freedom to move or waterbirth.  The baby is saying with the advancement through the birth canal, Let me be in your arms, as a Blue-Ribbon-Baby, as the Grand Omni Designer of the Universe (GOD) meant for all creatures to be.  
• In your own research and decision, may God Bless and I hope these notes from Granny Donna, or if you prefer, Grandma Donna, are helpful and thought provoking.   ( NOTE:  some history of my name.  The name, Donna, means woman.  As by fate, I was given that name, as an after-thought.  It was just put on my baptism papers.  I really tried to change it when I was seven, thinking no one would remember I was called Donna, having spent such a short time in a new school.  I wanted now to be called the legal name on my birth certificate, Anna Lea, so I thought I change it in school.  But 30 to 40 kids in Grade two, said, "Anna is NOT her name. It is Donna."  They remembered me, while I couldn't remember their names, none of my age lived in my neighbourhood.     I felt pretty dumb not knowing my own name, so I sat down, and Donna has been my name, since that time.  NO First Name changes for me.    
• So I see it as fate, the name Donna, represents all women.  And whether it is one woman protesting of past and present discrimination as to our treatment during a natural birth event, or storms of women, it our right to have natural births.  We must help all women, to known proper care of their bodies and to know the proper position of birth, to catch their own babies, to waterbirth them if they want, to be drug free, to have support, someone with them constantly during birth if they wish, but in a hands off birth witness, help if asked, type of experience for the mother.  This being her choice.  
• Planning a family and having your own search for truth, an Inquiry Into Life, as I have done, is beneficial to all persons, and I would encourage all to do so, particularly, before any man or woman plans a family.  
• I am a Victoria, BC, Canada, Baby.  And received my education in BC.  I considered it an inferior education for the for many war-born babies.  I suspect many of were educated in such a way that accommodate those children who were made weaker if the doctors were taking blood from the placenta, by early cord clamping and putting the blood into blood banks, for the war cause.  This would have have happened in England, in Canada, and in the States, but not in Holland where homebirths have remained to this day, and most of them are drug free, hands off births.  
• To teach the many oxygenated deprived and likely minimally brain-damaged living survivors of the clamp, the school system had to change its learning methods and a new trend was accepted, dropping the phonetics to site and rote reading.  During my school years, in BC, they began Grade 1 with the  Dick and Jane Books. They also had strict discipline, repeat reading assignments.  Learning spelling for some children was writing the words out 50 times, each.  If the teacher mixed the words up, it was upsetting to the children, and they could not spell the word.  When you consider the research of Windle, reported in the Magical Child, learning impairments were evident in animals and human babies who had two things done to them during birth process, drugging the mother and doing immediate cord clamping.  The evidence of fact of these harmful practices were brain lesions.
•  Drugs would have killed sufficient cells and even impaired the growth of new cells.  The cells left intact would just get bigger, then perhaps, after being delayed of three years time, the child may have caught up. However, the distress of not learning at the same time with ones peers could have had much impact on the child's self-image and confidence.  The choice of careers they would have selected or attempted would then, also be limited.  So taking a child's blood at birth, causing anemia and brain lesions, was a violation of rights and any medical policies that caused training of doctors to do that, and the motives hidden, is something yet to be dealt with as to our governments, of the past, in a democratic society, and what they are still doing to discriminate against women, and the facts of truth for her to be in control, and wise, during birth process.  
• Today, the same kind of impairments in children have caused the parents and the teachers to seek solutions to their educations.  Many are home-school; many go to private school depending on the means of their parents to pay.  Many children are helped by controlled diets.  Many children's condition worsen with mercury preserved vaccinations.  All of this has deprived much of population to have been deprived of their full rights to potential, they might have had if no wrongful, or criminal interference occurred during birth.  Perhaps, we will look more deeply at the homosexuals, that were deprived of their immediate enzymes and hormones contained in that trapped blood, as one of the reasons their brains are now known to be different as to hormone function.  Such disorders are not really chosen, but caused, in the same way as mental brain disfunction for Attention Disorders, Autism, Seizures, Eating Disorders, Sleep Disorders and the variety of palsies and cancers and brain tumors.   
• All these children disorders have greatly increased and the probable cause has not stopped by the continuing and intent to continue in false medical teachings and practices, and the leaders and the executives of those policies, including their legal counsellors chosen to be on their boards, not being before a Judge.  While he may not put them in jail, a Court may require financial compensation to those who had not fair rights of competition to professions and technical skilled jobs.  Perhaps he might require a lifetime, of what they have left of it, in tutoring those less fortunate, having life harder to learn.  That helped us kids that would have been otherwise permanently disabled as some kids today, who graduate not able to read, write and spell.
•  Facts:  Educators set 50 IQ, if a child attained that, they got no extra tutoring help.  The educators knew this, and an Educator revealed the truth in his Chapter of Time Bomb, Magical Child, pages 48-50, of subtle to serious brained damaged animals and humans by two methods, drugs and immediate cord clamping.  If doctors did not know this, they ought to have known, they had the best chance to know.
• The Magical Child was published in 1977, before I could have spared one of my children drugs and immediate cord clamping.  See the concerns at www.123-baby-birth.com list of index Magical Child.  Author, Joseph Chilton Pearce, still living, last time checked.  He reported the research of Windle, W.  which was known prior to the 1960's.  
• Doctors were doing secretly immediate clamping, written and complained about by Dr. Mavis Gunther, 1957, who said evidence for no drugs and unassisted births, is the child "thrives."  Her report is seldom referred to in the studies of those allowing for immediate umbilical cord clamping.
• I say, and repeat go natural child birth.  It was good for the pioneers.  And I say, too, go one step more, get over your fear of looking at your child's magical organ, the PLACENTA.  Please consider to do no clamping or cutting of it, ever.  Or at least, do not let anyone touch it for a couple of hours.  
• Do not let the baby and his/he placenta be taken from your sight.  The placenta can be drained of its blood, and it not have drained all as the child would have needed if the child is allowed to get cold or the placenta. Do think about letting the placenta and cord fall off naturally, in two or three days time.  
• Care of the placenta is common sense, and easier they protecting the child from infection of a cut cord.  Salt it, pat it dry, put it in a cheese cloth for air circulation.  Keep it pinned to the diaper.  Expose it to air as much as possible.  Then baby will launch into outer space in due time.  His/her choice.  Or it falls off in 2- or 3 days. That beats concern of a cut cord of 8 days to two weeks.  It is a wise choice.
• The placenta, while it is a flat cake (Greek), after birth, is more like a container, blood bag.  It holds as a fact of science 4 to 6 ounces of blood to be transfused during and after birth into the infant's lungs.  That volume is necessary to cause adequate pressure and volume for a child not to be an active child, requiring this amount of added blood to reach and nourish all brain cells, from the brain to the feet.  The volume prevents holes in the heart too.
• That can only happen if the child's lifeline is not clamped. NO interruption of the child's circulation system need be done.  
• The pulsation in the cord is the infant's heart.  If it is not beating, revive the baby, where is how is, in-between-the mother's legs.  Do not allow revival of the infant off the cord.  Why?    Oxygenated blood will continue to flow, too, if the infant's heart is massaged, however that is done.  Revival must be done in between-the-mother's legs.  
• It is a fact of research that most Registered Nurses that go on to assist in the delivery of babies are NOT trained in the fetus / neonate/adult circulation system.  This is true of practical nurses, too, who aid nurses and doctors in the maternity wards.  These practical nurses and registered nurses, inadequately train, many of them, then cannot judge right from wrong of doctors trained in immediate cord clamping.  
• Their supervisors who trained them must be checked out and the books they studied from.  
• Correct methods were known but trends come and go in the medical fields, and I suspect all known and approved by the heads of governments.  The facts were the BC College of Physicians and Surgeons, stated, as above, in 1999, all doctors were trained, at least up to that time, to leave the pulsating cord alone, until it ceased to pulsate before cutting and clamping.  See letter above.  
• Teaching trends were put into written policies starting in the United States.   This happened prior to 1995, and so in Canada, in 1998. But most Senior doctors do know better.  The Senior doctors train younger doctors.  We must have this justified who started the trend of endangering hasty clamping, and allowed it just because average to big babies tolerate the assault / battery, and small babies are expected to die.  
• Facts of Science:  Premature babies have richer stem cells, so they may be exploited even more so.  No baby should come into this world expected to tolerate any abuse during or after birth.  It must stop.  It is that simple.  

MEDIAS MUST BE APPROACHED, IN WOMEN MARCHES, IF NECESSARY :  

• We must get this to the media and to the Courts, as quickly as we can join together to make this more known to all Teenagers, yet to come up through the ranks to become parents.  Let them know what others have been put through, and their own disabilities, the probable source to make life harder for them, began during labor and after birth.  Drugs and immediate clamping and false positions of birth.  These already weakened babies then were, I say, pushed over the edge, many of them by the toxic vaccinations, some of those being 6 in 1 vaccinations, given to babies less then 3-months old.

•  Many children were also violated by circumcision, when they had not the platelets in their blood in sufficient quantity to clot the blood, some died of bleeding.  The circumcision was imposed, in some cases, and it is or ever was a necessary medical amputation of the foreskin.  Doctors earned, in some cases, over $50,000 annually.  They stand a chance of gaining financially too for collecting blood samples from the infant's placenta, so all of this must be investigated, as to income to medical persons and even as to income to the Hospitals who have condoned immediate clamping, approving of wrongful policies, rather then opposing them.  The public has not be adequately informed or protected by those who had a duty to do so.   

INTERNATIONAL :

• World Health Organization, Care of the Umbilical Cord: A Review the Evidence 1998, WHO/RHTMSM/98.4. Chapter 3   http://www.oms.ch.rht/documents/MSM98-4/MSM-98-4.htm

•  NOTES:
• Delivery of placenta and cord pulsation ceasing is harmless to the child and may even be beneficial.  Chapter 4 -- Review of Evidence on Cord Care Practices.
• Late clamping after cord pulsations have ceased is the usual procedure in "traditional births" (meaning assumed, home and unassisted births), and early clamping is common in institutions.  The timing of cord clamping may have effects on "both" mother and infant.  
• Delayed cord clamping results in a shift of blood from the placenta to the infant. The volume transfused varies between 20 % and 50% of neonatal blood volume, depending on when the cord is clamped and at what levels the baby is held prior to clamping. (References sited 41, 42, 43, 44.)  
• Trials in which newborns were placed on the mother's abdomen (45) or on the bed where she lay (46, 47) and the cord was clamped only when it stopped pulsating showed that these babies had blood volumes 32 % higher than babies whose cords were clamped immediately after birth.   Placenta transfusion was about 80 % at 1 minute and was practically completed at 3 minutes.  (Comments:  Most doctors don't have patience to wait longer then a minute, but the truth is the cord left alone, will pulsating much, longer, even up to 20 minutes, witnessed by Dr. Mavis Gunther.  She stated, drugged children was the likely factor for 20-minutes before all pulsation naturally ceased, and before the cord was clamped.
•  "There have been concerns that the increase in the newborn's blood volume and red blood cell volume that is associated with delayed cord clamping could result in overload of the heart and respiratory difficulties.  These effects have NOT, however, been demonstrated.  In fact, there is probably a self-regulating mechanism in the infant which limits the extent of placental transfusion (47).  Moreover, there is evidence that the circulatory system of the newborn is capable of rapid adjustment to an increase in  blood volume and viscosity by increased fluid extravasation and dilation of blood vessels.  46.48.    NOTE:  POSSIBLE EXPLANATION IS NECESSARY FOR THIS ONE:
•  "Placental transfusion may NOT occur in the Usual Manner in newborns with Perinatal Complications.  For Example, one study found that blood volume in asphyxiated newborns was HIGH in Spite of IMMEDIATE CORD CLAMPING, possibly due to prepartum redistribution of blood between the fetus and placenta (49)  DELAYING CORD CLAMPING IN THESE BABIES MAY CAUSE HYPERVOLAEMIA AND CARDIO-RESPIRATORY COMPLICATIONS, although this has NEVER BEEN DEMONSTRATED.               
  • Comments on the above:  I think this is the excuse to clamp premature babies immediately or with 30-seconds considered a benefit to them, while their blood is higher in cord stem cells, then a full-term baby's. Preterm, clamped of their  stem cell blood are then given blood transfusions.  No one seems to know where Preterm's own healthy blood went? Or, why it was deemed not suitable for the child's own needs.   Seems they use Ringer's lactate,  (Chow-case-law) It is likely cheaper and less valuable then the child's own whole blood.  Mothers simply trust, they are not prepared to be exploited by the doctor whom they trust to do no harm nor give deleterious information so the mother cannot make an informed choice.  
•  "Placenta transfusion associated with delayed cord clamping provides additional iron to the infant's reserves and many reduce the frequency of iron-deficiency anaemia later in infancy.  (50, 51, 52).  
• This is of particular significance in developing countries where iron deficiency is common.  
• Delaying cord clamping also favours early contact between mother and baby.  In addition, it also reduces splashing of blood, which helps protect the birth attendant in areas where HIV infection is common. (53).
• Neonatal bilirubin levels are lower after early cord clamping but there is no significant difference in the incidence of jaundice.  (34, 54, 57.
  • ....comments.....Jaundice whether early or delayed clamping must look at all the facts.  Most biased reports withhold information like the condition of the mother's health, was she ill,like was she diabetic?  Did she take any drugs during labor.  These facts are left out when dealing with a child that is jaundiced.  
• Preterm babies....One randomized trial found that vaginally delivered preterm infants who had been held 20 cm below the introitus for 30-seconds before the cord was clamped required fewer transfusions for anaemia and fewer high inspired-oxygen concentrations than infants whose cord had been clamped within 10-seconds. (58)  
• MORE TRIALS are needed to compare the effects of early versus delayed cord clamping on the major adverse outcomes of preterm infants, such as respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), sepsis (poison in the blood infected with streptococci or staphylococci), intracranial haemorrhage (bleeding in the skull) and necrotizing (death of cells by stoppage of oxygen, gangrene) enterocolitis (inflammation of the intestines).  (enterococcus a streptococcus usually found in the human intestine.
  •  (SEE Chow-Case-Law of immediate cord clamping  Child is blind, mute, paralyzed and the ING case-law of similar problems.  Oxygen and circulation was cut off for both children, Ing by mid-forceps, and Chow by immediate cord clamping for a tight cord around the neck but which allowed flexibility to clamp in "two" places before cutting the cord, resulting in the child then be flat, limp, gasping.   
  • The authors of WHO, with reporting the above then left out informed choice of the mother to be the legal guardian of the infant to make informed, not informed compliance, but informed to best interest of her child, and if she finds out she was lied to, take legal action.  Try to document consultations of the baby's cord with a witness and have the doctor give notes as to what his/her routine practice has been in the past.  
  • Ask for references of their delivery techniques, and where they learned the art of delivery.  What were they been told, confirm with their University.  If you get evasive answers, give it it written form you don't have confidence they will not harm your baby, and birth at home with a trusted friend.
  • Report to the College of Physicians and Surgeons the doctors are not properly trained and are accepting false information and putting into practice.  If the maternity and head nurse cannot tell you who picks up placentas and how they routinely deal with it placenta and the placenta blood, create a support group so all mothers get the proper protection on water births, no drugs choice, proper birth position, and no clamping on the cord.
  •  Double check your information on delivery, it will be the most important of the completion of the pregnancy. Do not be intimidated by small towns.
  • See a lawyer if you feel threatened by the intentions of the doctor to impose drugs or hasty clamping on your child's' cord, or refuse to allow you a video or unassisted birth when you are willing to sign a waiver for that to happen on hospital property.
  •  It is your right to refuse all examinations and interruptions of your peace of mind or be manipulated.  If that is not going to happen, your choices are birth at home.  
  • Women in Holland do that, you can too.  Take legal action if you perceive your rights to peace of mind and security are threatened by policies of the doctor, nurse staff or hospital .  
  • Here is what WHO ends up with:  "delayed cord clamping . .. waiting  until pulsations stop is the PHYSIOLOGICAL WAY OF TREATING THE CORD AND IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH ADVERSE EFFECTS, AT LEAST IN NORMAL DELIVERIES????(Normal deliveries are likely undrugged deliveries, warm water births for relaxation).  
  • WHO then states:      Early cord clamping conflicts with traditional beliefs and is an INTERVENTION THAT NEEDS JUSTIFICATION .  
  • THEY MENTION DRUGS.   "If controlled cord traction after " oxytocin administration"  is practised, early cord clamping is mandatory (the cord should be shielded with a sterile covering to minimize blood spraying during the procedure).  (I wonder if they purchased shares in Dupont for Umbicut?????  
  • Cord Traction is dangerous.  It means some idiot is pulling on the umbilical cord, impatient for the placenta to be expelled.  It can result in the inversion of the Womb.  
  • The Eskimo way for a placenta is to stick their finger down their throat, that makes them cough, and out pops the placenta.  
  •  If you allow the proper transfusion of blood from the placenta to the baby, and put the baby to your breast, your hormones will direct the placenta from your body in a non-evasive manner.  
  • Go Natural, in position, and in care of the baby after birth.  It is really just common sense, not need interventions by man in most instances.  
•  W.H.O.'s authors, unknown, then conclude:  " More research is needed on the effects of the timing of cord clamping on the preterm infant .   .
• FACTS:  .Lot's of studies have confirmed the preterm should be left on its cord as the mother wishes until all pulsation stops. The blood is just right for baby. If not and tests are done, then do blood letting, if that is a proven cure.
•     It is safer to let out blood then risk transfusion and put in diseased blood or airborne disease from the environment in the hospital.  

NOTE:  Such all research I have studied is that preterms do better with delayed clamping, not immediate.

• Accompanying the names of the institute should include the identification of those who were on the committees, appointed by the government, who are perceived to have failed to respect the rights of women to be informed. Therefore, are endangered by being exploited as to their reproduction system, to bear children, and the child then to be exploited for blood tissue and stem cells and various components of blood.  And the names of off campus researchers accepting placenta and blood without the parents informed consent they have that organ and blood components in their possession.

ALERT:   

• Women blindly trust, in most instances.  We are trained to trust.  We are told it is healthy to trust.  Mostly, we have trusted blindly in the medical persons.  To trust means someone is being accountable and responsible for the trust and belief in them.  The medical societies and the doctors and the books we trusted for reliable resource information have breached our trust.  
• We are NOT in a safe society, any more.  Not in Canada or the States.  Our politicians cannot be trusted, either because they go with the trends.  So does our major news media.  They are controlled by the government or large corporations.  They have business bias to big corporations.  
• In this case of early clamping endangering the babies, the major news medias and television and talk shows have only supported stem cell research.  
• They have directly or indirectly promoted the taking the neonate's placenta blood for that purpose, and by the process of immediate and early clamping.  The police have not investigated this matter of where the organs and blood are going and with whose consent.
• The major news medias, like CBC, CTV, and even the New York Times, Globe and Mail, did not do an independent research on the treatment to women.  
• The women are being exploited to produce babies,and for society, by way of the medical persons, to  take the exploited neonate stem cells.  
• Even the woman who aborts her child is being exploited for the child's body and blood to be used in research. Women is being conned.  Nothing is being done for her benefit that was not set up for exploitation of the aborted fetus.  
• I am disappointed in the Canadian and American Medical Associations.  They have violated their duty and trust to protect all persons equally.
• I am certainly disappointed in the achievement of some medical women doctors who went along with false information, and when they found it false did nothing to speak out.  
• I am certainly disappointed in the police, the MLAs, the MP, the Prime Minister, the Premier, and President Bush.  
• All have allowed living babies to be the exploited children. When our society expects the weak to support the strong we are in big trouble.
• There is much work to be done.  I suggest each woman so informed to build a web page and start educating the young teenagers.  Some of them have been damaged by this.  If they are under 27 years of age, and their mother tells them the truth of their birth, or they find it out by Access to Information of their medical files, that must be kept in the hospitals, until they are 7-years past adult status, they can take action for wrongful birth practices.  
• NO baby can give consent, or minor to give up blood when they are not 17 years of age, finished growing, and do not weigh 110 pounds.  Those are the criteria to donate blood.  NOT a baby seconds old.
• Hasty clamping is NOT logically smart.  Truth is out there just by watching animals in the wild birth normally and naturally.  For new generation of parents, I hope they will be wiser then the woman that just gave birth in a hospital, and had her baby's cord clamped before it ceased pulsating.   
• Be logical.   It is always best to go natural.  And, if nature is NOT broken, don't fix it.  Certainly, not with a clamp.

OTHER UMBILICAL CORD CLAMPING SITES OF CLINICAL STUDIES.  

The studies should be read with an objective, what is missing in regards to randomized trials, such as condition of the mother's health at birth, was she anemic, had she accepted drugs, if so what kind, the size of the baby, if the baby was full term, or premature, if so the gestation period, and methods of revival, amount of blood drained with consent from the placenta which was the baby's blood., to have been transfused into the baby's expanding lungs.

Comments from Donna Young: dyoung@pris.ca

Most biology textbooks give the appearance of being controlled by drug companies, that have, in the past, received the placentas for drug uses. The placentas, without informed consent, have been sold by most hospitals, approved by unskilled ethics committees.  Most hospitals had access to legal advise, that had a duty to protect the civil rights of the newborn citizen.  This was not done on the issue of early cord clamping and the child was violated by such policies of allowance to take the placenta blood by methods of training of early cord clamping.  Many legal issues are apparent for compensation to both the parents of the child for breach of trust and negligence of care to the child at birth as a citizen.

The probable " Motive "  is the medical field needs blood, hormones, and the components of blood for a billion dollar business in the selling of these products.  Therefore, motive is there for trapping the placenta blood int he placenta for harvesting.  The trapped blood in the placenta is later drained and used for transplants and this is done without true informed consent.  

Think about it?  What informed mother would harvest her babies placenta blood, give it to another, and weaken her own baby for a lifetime of learning disabilities, low immunities, and holes in the heart?  What loving mother would endanger her baby and sell the child's blood to a rich relative?  Is the price worth it to have a sick baby to raise.  Is it fair to the child?  What are the legal duties to the child to protect it is born equal with equal opportunities, ease of learning and so forth?
