bullet1 Dr. Erasmus Darwin, Don't Tie the Cord, 1801

    How long have the doctors known hasty umbilical cord clamping endangers the newborn infant, the neonate?  Concerns of Donna Young, Mother and Grandmother.


    The answer is, "Before 1801!" The quotation of Dr. Erasmus Darwin is in red below.   and other links. Dr. E. Darwin was the champion of survival of the fittest theory, promoted by his Grandson, Charles.   We have no idea how many medical persons took facts of good medical science and used it deleterious to those they did not respect or value to having best practice possible and least risk of harm, but could be exploited by breach of trust, no one in the medical profession would stop them by secrecy of their Oath, that also had secrecy of the medical arts and practices in that Oath.


    Since we have logically and intuitively known not to clamp the functioning and pulsating lifeline cord, why, then, have many, medical persons, including midwives, that go into the homes for homebirths, continue to do, and many in secret, early umbilical cord clamping?  

    In most instances, this is imposed on the child without informed consent.  The medical facts of no harm done is by no clamping, or tying off the cord, or cutting it. This trend, a tradition, need not be done at all, unless, (1) the cord tore or (2) for placenta previa?  All other reasons are not good reasons, and must be seen to be justified by facts of medical evidence. However, the evidence of fact are often destroyed by the involvement of all medical persons of a child's birth. The professionals groups are collaborating with one another.

    The truth revealed is that our grandparents, prior to the 1920's, did not do anything with the umbilical cord or the placenta.  They simply kept the placenta in a warmed towel, and the baby in another. Then they put the placenta in a diaper, and it fell off in a day's time. The mother birthed in the warmest room possible.  The obvious benefits to the child were:   If the baby's was kept warm and allowed full blood transfusion from the placenta to his/her expanding lungs, there was the benefit too, of no cord or navel infections. The baby had healthy lungs, no interruption of the oxygenized blood and volume to the brain.

    In most instances, the babies were undamaged by drugs and hasty clamping, and the imposed on faulty birth positions, flat on the back and semi-sitting positions. These harmful birth positions control the birth of most children, even to this day.  They are imposed on women if they have a medical persons attend their birth.  

    Mothers of long ago, knew the benefits to manage labor discomforts safely, they used a nice warm tub. The mother's wisely birthed on her side, or in any gravity position of comfort to her, trusting in her own instincts.  Such trusts in our own bodies and the baby to know what to do have had medical interventions that must be justified, before a court of law.  If we allow the medical persons to have the power of control on the child's lifeline, we may have a form of social Darinism , in concealed form. We would never know our weakened babies by sex, by race, by color, by faith, were imposed on by the clamp of the controlling medical persons, for whatever motives they conceal. Who can know the heart of man or intentions.  Only God can.    by Donna Young


Quotation of Dr. Erasmus Darwin:


"Another thing very injurious to the child, is the tying and cutting of the

navel string too soon; which should always be left till the child has not

only repeatedly breathed but till all pulsation in the cord ceases. As

otherwise the child is much weaker than it ought to be, a portion of the

blood being left in the placenta, which ought to have been in the child."

Erasmus Darwin, Zoonomia, 1801, Vol III, page 302.

Gunther M. M.A., M.D. Camb. Obstetric Hospital, University College Hospital, London,  

The transfer of blood between the baby and the placenta in the minutes after birth. Lancet 1957;I:1277-1280



Dr. E. Darwin, the Grandfather of Charles, both supported survival of the fittest, when he said, "Another thing . . . "  I wonder what more he was trying to tell us that were harmful to women and the newborn child?  Did he know the logic of gravity birth positions, and how flat on the back and semi-sitting birth positions closed the birth canal by up to 30 percent?  And the benefits of no drugs or that even herbal teas can have molds and viruses in them and side reactions?  Will we ever have the rest of the research made available to us?


Perhaps, unnecessary experimentation on the human being, the vulnerable, naive and trusting female, and the helpless child, totally dependent on high ethics and duty for his/her care and development.  Experiments on raising the child excessively and lowering the child excessively were done.  What moves the baby's blood from the placenta to the infant's internal needs, particularly, the lungs. The heart!.  If the heart is drugged the baby will have a harder time drawing blood into the heart, by the veins, which have valves.  


The arteries, has the blood go away from the heart, and in the fetus circulation, the blood running back to the placenta, by the arteries in the umbilical cord and connections internally, is alleged not to have valves.  Logically, the blood in the arteries is going to run faster down hill then blood coming back from the placenta, drawn up hill by the child's heart.  But, if drugged, the pumping up hill, will take longer.  The baby held down excessively, will have more blood in the placenta then ought to be in the child.


Also, some doctors were also hand-squeezing and letting go the cord, in experiments or tying off the placenta and untying it. Sneaky, eh?  It is alleged there are no valves in the vein of the umbilical cord.  I must take that on trust, as I have no means of knowing the truth on that issue, so we must trust some of the things said to us by professional experts, and what is written in most biology textbooks.  Many women and men do not study biology because of the evolutionary content in them.  They can only hear the word of God, in creation. Few public textbooks are neutral an teach empirical biology, what we see and the purpose and design of living things.  How things are, not necessarily, how we "think" they became that way.  But how we think something came to be, is not empirical science of what is.  It is philosophy for what or Whom, we give our thankfulness for being as we are, alive and living this day.


Perhaps, Dr. E. Darwin knew of drugs crossing the placenta, or cutting the woman's body to give birth caused infections, or harmful birth positions such as flat on the back and in semi-sitting birth positions, rather then to birth lying on your side for the human baby, or in any gravity birth position if the mother had the support to do this.


NO DISCRIMINATION TO THE WOMAN OR THE CHILD:

Over 100 Nations have ratified a Declaration to protect all children in all government and tax-supported institutions, education and health care to be the best practices, least risk of harm, to our abilities.   This protection is not happening during the birth and care and treatment of the neonate.


Will we ever know the rest of the story what Dr. Erasmus Darwin was trying to warn about and the fact this warning was not heeded by doctors who took over the maternity care of most pregnant mothers?  


Was this intentional as you can see children going into distress by early cord clamping.  Were they not observant?  Were they ignorant?  Or, did they not care about that particular child or race or color,now internally injured?  What then about the Oath, Do No Harm?  


Since the Darwins are associated with Survival of the Fittest -- was this a test performed on some babies by some doctors?  If so, it was most cruel to do hasty clamping on some babies and test them on their means to become able and achieve to their fullest potential.  That would almost the as though intentional like the fictional story written by another intellect of the times, whose family supported survival of the fittest, Julian Huxley.  His book, "Brave New World" mentions creating simple-minded persons who would be happy to do the physical work of man's needs, the slaves, eh?   


All of us have our potential genius abilities.  But were many of the common folk's abilities then compromised to the degree of deprived oxygen and blood to vital organs?  If so, how long has medical deception being going on?   I would think as far back as to British and Western Societies having their ladies birth in hospitals, many even today, behind closed doors, and without witnesses.


And, even today, with witnesses in the birth room of the newborn child, besides the doctor and his/her nurse, we are none the wiser on the issue of the "clamping" off the cord. It is the clamp, not the cutting that first stops the circulation between the blood flow from the placenta to the child's internal needs to have adequate and steady flow of blood and oxygen by volume and pressure.  


If we are informed, the militancy for the power of control of the medical person(s) midwives, registered-nurse-midwives or doctors or surgeons, and now the ambulance medic, and the doula intend to have the decision making power and control of the quality of life of the child, and the timing of the clamping of the cord.  That can only have checks and balances if the mother is educated and has a signed birth "contract", that only she can change her mind to the care and treatment she and her baby receive.  


The medical person(s) alternating no clamping of the cord or cutting from the placenta, can NOT be done for any reason other than the cord tore or for placenta previa, and both requiring an investigation if medical error and judgement caused the compromising of the infant.  And how quickly the medical staff or person was knowledgeable to correct blood volume, pressure and oxygen need so the child was not seriously impaired.  Any revived child is going to be impaired for the length of time blood and oxygen were deprived, even one cell, that may have controlled 10,000 cells.  An example of damage connections of cells might be:  ............. . . ............. . . . .............. . . .   This will cause the child to process information longer and may not have a good memory or recall as well as an undamaged child at birth.  Here is how undamaged cell connections might be:

..................................................................................................................zillion of cells working in harmony, if not interrupted in oxygen and nutrients of the fluids and components of blood.  Blood is essential to life, as well as the quality of our oxygen.  If we make one or the other toxic, we do suffer for it, to the degree we can dispel toxicity, and the child is the most little and compromised to do that.  We adults must care for it to the best chance of his her survival, and avoiding endangering the child, as much as it depends on us and our informed abilities.


Just like a pressure pump whether in a car or any machinery, stop the flow of fuel and oxygen, and it stalls.  We can damage the motor if we try to keep it running without adequate pressure and volume.  The human machine needs the same logical care and attention.  It is by necessity of Design, not the whim of man.  If man tampers with Design, we live, but with many regrets.
