Brain Lesions caused by drugs and early cord clamping, Dr. W. Windle, reported in the Magical Child, 1970's book.

The 1960's revealed harmful birth practices, such as brain lesions, after drugging babies and following early umbilical cord clamping. by Donna Young

Brain Lesions are associated with drugging the mother during labor stages, and immediate umbilical cord clamping.

Dr. William B. Windle, did this research in the 1960's, and it was reported by the Educator, Joseph Chilton Pearce.

Have you read Joseph Chilton Pearce's book " The Magical Child"?

On pages 48-50, Chapter, Time Bomb, Pearce cites research done by Dr. William B. Windle who noted from research "brain lesions" caused by medical interventions of the child's natural birth:

Windle...." was concerned about childbirth practices. specifically 2 questionable procedures: the widespread, automatic use of premedication and anesthetics and the usual practice of cutting the umbilical cord as soon as the baby's body was clear. There has never been a textbook on obstetrics that did NOT stress leaving the umbilical cord strictly alone so long as any activity is detectable in it.
- Comments from Donna:
- This is true, I have researched past textbooks and midwife's books: See References and EVIDENCE: Most midwives and Doctors have had opportunity to know not to clamp a pulsating umbilical cord as they were taught the fetal circulation, or ought to have been, in list of contents. However, the basic course to be Registered-Nurse revealed the nurses were not taught the fetus to infant circulation system, only the adult circulation system. They often then went into the delivery rooms and were not wise as to witnessing that some doctors did hasty umbilical cord clamping and other doctors did full delayed, waiting for the placenta to be expelled and the pulsation in the cord to cease. They did not seem to understand the difference in the doctors training or habits or the trends.

"He made the simplest of tests. he took pg monkeys and treated them to all the benefits of modern medical practices: he administered anesthetics in a body-weight ratio equivalent of that given the average laboring human mother in the hospital. at the birth of the infant, he cut the umbilical cord at the average time he had found practiced in hospitals. in every case, his newborn monkeys could not get their breath and had to be resuscitated.

"The mothers, dazed by the drugs and greatly lengthened labor (which anesthetics automatically cause), could do little assist. Windle had to step in to keep the little creatures alive. and how long was it before these medically delivered infants achieved some normality, got their limbs under them, and began some preliminary semsorimotor learning? Some two to three weeks.

"He performed autopsies on some of these helpless infants and found in every case that their brains harbored severe lesions of a type resulting from oxygen deprivation.

He was able to keep some of the monkeys alive (and it took outside help; it was beyond the monkey's abilities) until they had matured and achieved apparent normality.

When he autopsied some of these apparently recovered monkeys, he found that their brains STILL harbored exactly the same lesions found at birth. the damage done at the beginning proved irreparable.

"He next studied human infants who had died following known birth histories of anesthetics, low Apgar scoring, premature cutting of the umbilical cord, and so on. autopsies showed that these infant brains harbored exactly the same lesions he had found in his oxygen-deprived monkeys.

Cases of children who had similar birth histories but who died at age three or four were then studied, and where possible, autopsies were made. again the brains were found with the same lesions.

"Windle pointed out the obvious. in those first critical moments when the lungs must make the transition to producing all the oxygen for the young body, the system expects to call on the reserve supply held in the placenta.

A drugged mother immediately means a drugged infant, and a drugged infant cannot get his breath. artificial means must be used. breathing is then clumsy, slow, inefficient. the cutting of the umbilical cord at this time denied the infant the reserves of oxygen at the most critical pint in his life. a vicious double bind is imposed.

"Newell Kephart, director of the Achievement Center for Children at Purdue University, finds learning and behavior problems resulting from minor undetected brain injury in 15 - 20% of all children examined.

Goldberg and Schiffman estimate that 20-40% of our school population is handicapped by learning problems that may be related to "neurological impairments at birth.

"Windle closed his report, published in Scientific American in 1969 , with this comment:

"Our experiments have taught us that birth asphyxia lasting long enough to make resuscitation necessary always damages the brain..... a great many human infants have to be resuscitated at birth.

We assume that their brains, too, have been damaged. there is reason to believe that the number of human beings in the USA with minimal brain damage due to asphyxia at birth is much larger than has been thought .

Perhaps it is time to reexamine current practices of childbirth with a view to avoiding conditions that give rise to asphyxia."

A Note of thanks to J.C. Pearce. He now is involved in corrective measures to impaired and compromised persons. In his 70's, more of his work can be found by surfing to search to find more information under the book title, The Magical Child. His book, can be ordered-in, through most University Libraries and Colleges, and through your local library.

Drugs, followed with Immediate Cord Clamping cause brain lesions:
This excerpt was sent to me by a supporter of No Clamping, No Drugs for the birth of a child. It was sent in support of Natural no-invasive-child-birth practices.

Such 'choices' are fundamental rights of every women to be so educated about and the endangerment to a baby by the use of drugs during labor followed with hasty clamping. Yet, such material of such simple facts are missing in all education institutions (Kindergarten through Grade 12, then in the pre-natal classes).

All such prenatal classes are controlled by governments and their selected consultants. Mostly, the Registered-Nurses are involved in the training of most prenatal classes, but they are governed by what can be said, and nothing can be added or subtracted.

Doctors point to the prenatal classes to educate the expecting mothers, so very and carefully controlled.

Being controlled there is often important information is missing. How, then is the mother and the spouse able to protect their babies, if they cannot know the intents of the doctor, or protect the mother and her child.

So much logical information has been "banned" as far as I am concerned. The consequences of inadequately informed mothers and what may be inadequately trained medical persons are expensive to any society. It may provide spin-off in medical research and correction to the various medical fields. But is this ethical to cause impairments and not be held civilly and criminally accountable for harming the child first in the womb, then at its birth?

The lack of information in this Century is proving to be world-wide missing. This is as far as my research is being able to determine who has c-section videos demonstrating taking the baby out still attached to its placenta, and the pulsation of the cord continues until full transfusion is completed, naturally. So far, no such videos are available for correct teaching and method of care for the newborn.

C-Section proves the function of the placenta and cord and the infant's heart doing transfusion.

At www.123-baby-birth.com 9). T. Peltonen , Placental transfusion Advantage and Disadvantage. Euro. Journal of Pediatrics, 1981; 137:141-146. This article also establishes that in 87 cases of cesarean sections, the authors suspended the placenta above the infant. IRDS was not observed in any case.

My question is who forced the stopping of correct practices for a c-section baby? Was it related to hospital time-efficiency experts? Or, those wanting the baby's blood by clamping off the umbilical cord first, cutting it? Then efforts made to get the baby to breathe on its own, and the expense in intensive care for such compromised children. The care for its now damaged lungs NOT yet fully expanded with air, nor adequate fluids of blood provided from the placenta, needed to prevent lung damage and dehydration to the baby.

That the mothers and their spouses are NOT so informed about such choices for the delivery stage of the baby, if they are using a family doctor or expert such as an obstetrician, gynecologists or pediatrician, or registered-nurse-midwife, or a direct-entry midwife is highly questionable.

Particularly, when it now known that even the World Health Organization is stating the use of oxytocins cause brain damage to the infant, and are making immediate umbilical cord clamping mandatory. (See WHO's web address this web site for their 1998 review on the timing of the clamping of the umbilical cord.

WHO in their summary failed to address that any research and experiments being conducted on a birthing mother and the infant and its treatment after birth ought to be respected with informed choices. This means no clamping or cutting of the cord not causing harm to the baby is factually told the mother, and can be demonstrated today with videos of such homebirths, where the mothers are educated and NOT squeamish to see and touch the infant's Magical Organ, the Placenta and the umbilical cord of both arteries and the vein.

It is a logical fact and a fact of science that no drugs and using warm water to relax the mother, such as waterbirth (providing the water is not contaminated, remembering Walkerton, Ontario, Canada's contaminated water); and no clamping of the cord following the child's birth, is beneficial to the baby.
Such care and choice of the mother, including the father to be also educated, gives the baby the best chance to be a blue ribbon baby. Of course, the final out come also is provisional that the mother and the father, together, planned a family, and started conception in healthy bodies. This is so the mother would conceive through a well nourished egg and the father having a healthy sperm.

The mother following the conception with proper nourishment, avoiding harmful chemicals into her body, proper exercise, and knowing how to position her body to birth her child, in her own means of control. Such position is likely the mother will "catch" her own baby or the spouse. Their right to do so, and bond immediately. Weighing the baby, measuring the baby can be done any time, they are not immediate care. Warmth in a warm blanket and snuggling is what the baby needs.

The medical person only observing and assisting, if asked. They do not even have to be in the same room if that is the request of the mother.

Most babies that do not have a medical person at any emergency birth are a testimony unassisted births produce healthy babies. This fact of observances is noted in the Gunther report, No. 7,

See Exhibits, and Dr. Gunther's observations at http:/www.123-baby-birth.com

NOTE by Donna Young:

Babies should be born in the warmest room possible. When born, the babies must be wrapped in a warm towel. Ideally, babies should be born in warm water tubs, because they do not have the shock of cold air. Cold air hitting the baby's wet body can cause shock and stop the natural pulsation of the cord. This is as the same means to stop the blood from the placenta flowing into the infant's expanding lungs, like the cold steel clamping tool.

Warm water births make a lot of sense, and such were one of the practices of the pioneers, prior to the 1920's. The pioneers birthed unassisted in their own homes, only family present, and they did not do cosmetic removal of the umbilical cord, by tying it or cutting it. They merely put the placenta, wrapped to in a warm towel, and they then put it in a clean diaper. The placenta and cord fell off a few days later. The baby had no hernia infections, and no blood infections. These babies were healthy babies with full immunities. These unassisted birth babies thrived. These babies did not have jaundice or anemia, as do babies born in institutionalized births, after the 1920's and to this day.

The motive is likely that, secretly, the institutions were during war times or periods of science research, trends, as it has been called to me, by Dr. Van Andel of the BC College of Physicians and Surgeons, were then likely taking the baby's deprived placenta blood for research, or were/are burning it.

In either case, whether burned or used in blood experiments and transplants, the owner/infant baby of the placenta blood was wrongfully deprived of nutrients of the blood in the placenta and volume from 20 to 50 percent total blood volume. That represents 4 to 6 ounces from a baby that is 9-pouncs, and should have had a total of 10 ounces of blood in his/her system, after 9-months of gestation.

Why were doctors, nurses and their Administration involved in early umbilical cord clamping? There was duty to protect the public, all, no exceptions to the pregnant and birthing mother and the newborn child.

All medical persons, from the ambulance medic to the surgeon had a duty of best practice possible, least risk of harm.

An Official Commissioned Inquiry is long over due, particularly, when we consider the costs of millions of babies injured and millions of dollars needed to help in their education and medical costs. And, perhaps, if such an Inquiry takes, place, the proper criminal charges will be taken on those most responsible for false medical practices done and done in secret, in most cases. Why was that?
